"Mother!"

Tushan Yueli's heart-wrenching cry echoed across the battlefield, crystal tears streaming down her pale cheeks.

Gu Xing stared blankly at the empty space before him, his fingertips trembling uncontrollably.

He never expected that Tu Shanyue would resolutely choose to stand in front of him.

To block this attack for him!

"Empress!!"

The mourning of the various races' beings rose and fell, countless pairs of eyes turning blood-red in an instant.

"Kill this beast! Avenge the Empress!"

"Everyone, attack together. Even if we die, we must tear off a piece of this beast's flesh."

The angry shouts surged like a tide.

The sanctuary that Tu Shanyue had built from nothing had long since become an irreplaceable holy ground in the hearts of all weak races.

In everyone's heart, Tu Shanyue was their god.

And now...

Their god had fallen!

The extreme anger instantly dispelled all fear, and flames of revenge ignited in their eyes.

This emotion not only spread among these races but also infected Gu Xing!

Although his connection with Tu Shanyue wasn't very deep, the character of this Nine-tailed Fox Empress had deeply impressed him.

But now....

Gu Xing stared intently at the spot where Tu Shanyue had disappeared.

There was only a swaying cluster of pink energy left there.

Under his gaze, the energy suddenly split, one part shooting like an arrow toward the Nine Nether Centipede King, the other gently merging into Tushan Yueli's body.

This was Tu Shanyue's choice!

With her strength, if she had forcibly taken this attack...

At most, she would have been severely injured, but she would never have lost her life!

However...

Just when Lilith attacked the Nine Nether Centipede King, relying on her powerful spiritual power, she clearly sensed Lilith's strength.

Although Lilith's strength barely reached totem level, yet...

Truly defeating this King-level fierce beast remained a distant hope.

So...

She chose to burn everything!

The pink energy shot at the Nine Nether Centipede King was her last gift, left at the cost of her life!

The Nine Nether Centipede King instinctively wanted to dodge, but the pink energy moved like a swift ray of light, entering its brow just as it tilted its head!

"Fox Clan Seal!"

This was the ultimate forbidden technique, paid for with life!

If it were an ordinary totem level, it would be completely sealed under this strike.

But facing a King-level fierce beast, what Tu Shanyue gained by burning her life was only a partial weakening of its strength.

"Roar——!!!"

A mournful howl shattered the skies.

The hundred-zhang long body of the Nine Nether Centipede King twisted madly, the earth cracking and collapsing under its struggle.

The fox-shaped mark on its brow emitted a blinding pink light, searing its soul like a festering wound...

This pain was something it had never experienced since ascending to King level!

The unique purifying power of the Fox Race continued to erode along the mark, and a human-like fear appeared in the Nine Nether Centipede King's scarlet eyes.

Its impenetrable carapace could resist physical attacks but could not block this soul-searing burn!

The other pink energy, like a shooting star, entered Tushan Yueli's brow.

This was another reason why she chose to burn her life!

She knew...

Her daughter's talent was ultimately limited.

A Myth Two Stars bloodline, in the eyes of ordinary races, was already an unparalleled genius.

But in front of Gu Xing...

From the first glance at Gu Xing, she perceived the talent of Gu Xing's contracted beasts, at least at Myth Five Stars!

Her daughter's talent was entirely insufficient in front of Gu Xing!

Moreover...

Securing complete recognition from the divine pattern with such talent was almost impossible.

So...

She chose to pave the way for her daughter with her own life!

"Mother... no..."

Tushan Yueli, through tear-filled eyes, was now completely enveloped by the pink energy.

In an instant, a brilliant pillar of light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield!

Under the infusion of this pure Power of Origin from the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, Tushan Yueli's aura began to rise dramatically.

Behind her original six fox tails, a seventh illusory tail slowly began to form...

In the Qingqiu Race, the number of tails represents talent!

Each additional fox tail signifies a qualitative change in bloodline.

What Tu Shanyue achieved by burning her life was the possibility for her daughter to break through her shackles!

"Buzz——"

With a clear fox cry, the seventh fox tail behind Tushan Yueli completely solidified!

Vast spiritual power surged within her, and the bottleneck that had troubled her for so long broke open.

Peak Commander, broke!

The Monarch Level aura swept across the entire field like a tide!

Simultaneously, in Gu Xing's view.

[Tushan Yueli]

[Race: Qingqiu Race (Six-tailed State)]

[Identity: Qingqiu Race Princess]

[Talent: Myth Two Stars → Myth Five Stars]

[Level: Commander Tier Nine → Monarch Tier One]

[Power: 45000 → 70000]

[Constitution: 47000 → 80000]

[Spirit: 60000 → 100000]

[Speed: 55000 → 70000]

[Skills: Moon Eclipse, Mirror Prison, New Moon, Heavenly Fox Domain]

The energy from Tu Shanyue instantly elevated Tushan Yueli's aptitude from Myth Two Stars to Myth Five Stars.

This already reached the limits of the Alternate Space!

Additionally, Tushan Yueli's strength experienced a massive boost.

However...

At this moment, Tushan Yueli was utterly unconcerned with these changes.

She extended her shaking hand, trying to grasp her mother's gradually transparent figure.

Even in death, a totem level spiritual power can momentarily linger in this world.

"Yueli..."

Tushan Yueli's ephemeral face showed a gentle smile.

She attempted to wipe away her daughter's tears, but could only watch as her fingers passed through that wet cheek.

"Don't be sad."

Her voice was as soft as the wind, "When I decided to protect all weak races, I had already foreseen this day!"

"So, don't be sad!"

In the falling snow, she gently embraced her daughter, though this hug could no longer convey warmth.

"I'm sorry... Yueli, I won't be able to stay with you in the future! Qingqiu Race... I entrust to you."

Subsequently, her body slowly began to disperse.

In her last moment, she turned to Gu Xing, her eyes filled with trust:

"Gu Xing, my daughter... I'm entrusting her to you."

Before she finished speaking, her figure transformed into countless pink light particles, dissipating into the world.

This marked Tu Shanyue's complete disappearance from this world, leaving not a single trace behind.

"Boom——"

With a tremendous roar, it seemed as if heaven and earth were mourning.

In the next moment.

In the midst of summer, anomalously, a heavy snow began to fall.

Gu Xing gently extended his hand, a snowflake landing on his palm.

This snowflake was not pure white but carried a hint of pink.

This snow fell from the heavens for Tu Shanyue!

Feeling the slight chill in his palm, Gu Xing's hand gradually clenched.

A murderous intent continuously emanated from his eyes.

"Sovereign·Slaughter!"

Blood-colored spiritual power soared into the sky, completely enveloping Lilith.

However, this time it wasn't the Soul Devouring Talent.

It was Sovereign!

The Slaughter State symbolized ultimate aggression!

At this moment, Gu Xing's voice was colder than the ice and snow:

"Lilith——"

"Tear it apart for me!"
