Chapter 485: The Mirror’s Desperate Plan!
The might of Dharmakaya’s Formative Power pierced through the Void, shattering numerous forms of law, and precisely locked onto the Snow Woman.
“Not good!”
The Snow Woman’s face changed slightly as she sensed an extremely powerful oppressive force, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
“Chilly Nine-Stalwart Shield!”
In an instant, icy lotuses bloomed beneath her feet, nine petals growing in the wind and seamlessly connecting with each other, forming a barrier in front of her.
With a loud bang, the powerful force came crashing down and struck the ice shield, instantly tearing it apart and exposing the Snow Woman.
“Truly worthy of Dharmakaya’s Formative Power!”
Her expression grew serious as she retreated; despite using her strongest defensive measure, it was still breached, a result that left her somewhat unwilling to accept.
“This guy…”
As she looked at Zhou Tong again, the Snow Woman’s mindset completely changed.
She had originally thought that she could easily handle this person, but the reality told her she had drastically underestimated him!
“This guy is a monster!”
“Boom!!!”
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly found herself immobilized. It turned out that two intersecting rivers of time were entwined around her, intending to envelop her and bury her in the passage of time.
“What is this…?”
Seeing this scene, the Snow Woman was thoroughly shocked. This was clearly the Void Self Realm, a state she had never mastered, yet Zhou Tong had wielded it.
“I will! Reverse all phenomena!”
The rivers surged forward, encapsulating the past, present, and future, sweeping everything within, held firmly in Zhou Tong’s grasp.
“It’s over…”
He said calmly, just as he was about to crush the orb of light in his hand, a power that transcended all suddenly emerged!
“Shatter for me!”
The Snow Woman’s cold voice seeped through, as she utilized the power of a Quasi-Emperor’s weapon, breaking through all laws and countering every ultimate skill.
“You can’t handle this, huh?”
Zhou Tong asked, squinting his eyes.
“Blame yourself for being too weak. Even after enduring the passage of time, you can’t compete with me. As long as I exert a bit of effort…”
“You’re just blowing smoke. Since you don’t adhere to martial virtue, don’t blame me for being rude. Mirror, act!”
Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman’s eyes trembled. She had forgotten there was an even more unreasonable character beside her!
“I’ve been waiting impatiently for this!”
The Mirror said, eager to act, chanting incantations again to transform the Tool Creation Heavenly Tablet into a silver ring.
“Wait!”
The Snow Woman shouted, but by this point, the Mirror ignored her pleas and threw the silver ring, hitting the Snow Woman on the head!
“Ouch!!”
The Snow Woman stumbled in midair, falling straight down. Seizing this opportunity, the ring morphed into shackles, binding the Snow Woman tightly and sealing her powers, rendering her immobile!
“You’re far from being able to challenge me!”
The Mirror said condescendingly, leaving no room for the opponent’s pride.
“Hmph, what kind of ability is sneak attacking?” The Snow Woman said stubbornly.
You should be grateful that if I weren’t afraid of hurting Snow Pearl Sister, I wouldn’t have held back!
Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman completely gave up. Even at her peak, she could never surpass a natural Imperial Weapon.
“How should we handle her?”
Zhou Tong descended from the Void, looking down at the Snow Woman, making her turn her face away in humiliation.
Being scrutinized like a weakling in her own eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
“Don’t think this means you’ve won. My true self hasn’t broken the seal. No matter how you deal with me, I won’t submit. I will settle this score one day; if you have the guts, kill me!”
She raised her chin defiantly, clearly a headstrong donkey that only knew how to yield to softness.
“If you can swear to never target my child again, I can let you go.”
After some contemplation, Zhou Tong discovered that he had no enmity with the Snow Woman, so he attempted to persuade her kindly.
“No way! This is a precious treasure that I worked hard to capture; how could I just let it go so easily?”
The Mirror immediately panicked, voicing strong opposition.
“I refuse!”
Before the Mirror could explain further, the Snow Woman spoke first, leaving Zhou Tong somewhat bewildered.
Has this woman not realized her situation? She is just a prisoner, yet she had the audacity to refuse?
“Give it up. I won’t back down; I’m set on your child!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong’s anger surged.
This is what happens when you refuse to take a hint!
“Then you might as well die!”
Without another word, he lifted his Three-pronged Double-edged Saber, intending to execute a symmetrical split on the Snow Woman, but was directly blocked by the Mirror.
“Don’t be impulsive!”
“I’m not being impulsive. She still has her true self; losing one consciousness is nothing significant.”
“I’m not talking about that. Her dying or not has nothing to do with us. What’s important is the Great Dao fortune of the Ancient Divine Clan.”
The Mirror explained, “The Ancient Divine Clan once thrived, accumulating immense Great Dao fortune. Now that this race is on the verge of extinction, it falls to the remaining members of the Ancient Divine Clan to shoulder that entire fortune.”
“If the luck is good, the entire Ancient Divine Clan might be represented by her alone, thus embodying the complete Ancient Divine Great Dao!”
“So what?” Zhou Tong asked instinctively.
“Are you stupid? If the Ancient Divine Great Dao could be incorporated into the Human Path, wouldn’t the Human Race thrive?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“What’s the plan?”
“There are two paths, one easy and one difficult…”
The Mirror spoke mysteriously: “The first path is for you to take action personally, nurturing the Ancient Divine Great Dao and helping it rise again. Once it has re-emerged, it will surely repay you…”
“Second! Second!”
Zhou Tong hurriedly interrupted. The first path is one of pure foolishness; he had no interest in helping others rebuild their clan, especially not with his own child at stake, yielding nothing but harm.
“The second path is much simpler!”
The Mirror looked at the Snow Woman with a somewhat lewd voice: “You just need to use marriage authority to make her your concubine, and then apply the authority of law to claim her ‘dowry,’ which is her fortune, for yourself, thus completely swallowing the Ancient Divine Great Dao.”
Upon hearing this, not only Zhou Tong but also the Snow Woman and Snow Pearl couldn’t help but tremble.
Such a lewd operation truly exists in this world!
But upon careful consideration, this scheme indeed seemed feasible, as long as Zhou Tong had that intention…
“You all will not succeed! As long as I am alive, I will not let you have your way!”
The Snow Woman said resolutely, yet still couldn’t hide her inner distress. Right now, she was undoubtedly a very ripe fruit, and with Zhou Tong collaborating with the Imperial Weapon, he was fully qualified to pluck it.
“I refuse!”
Zhou Tong didn’t think long before directly rejecting this proposal.
“Why do you refuse?”
The Mirror exclaimed in surprise, unable to comprehend the other’s thought process.
“Isn’t this a dead-end? If I do this, won’t the Ancient Divine Clan be entirely wiped out?”
“Who cares about that? As long as the Human Race grows, isn’t that enough?”
The Mirror said with certainty, leaving Zhou Tong momentarily stunned.
He originally thought he was a fairly extreme proponent of Human supremacy but didn’t expect the Mirror to be even more extreme!
