Listen While Reading: Shower of Swords-----

  BAAAM!

  Gaxy Man was sent flying with enough strength to shatter a p. He flew through the illions of kilometers across space, ultimately nding o Jupiter, which, with its powerful gravity, attracted his body there.

  FLUOSH!

  The endless storms of Jupiter greeted him, stantly trying to engulf his body and crush him into smithereens, yet even his suit remained mostly unscathed, aside from several burn bruises that their bitack caused.

  “Hahh… They’re very strong!”

  He looked into the skies, armed and worried.

  Has he ever fought beings so powerful in his life before?

  Not even Grandor, Lord of Destru, the embodiment of Camity aany Gaxies, and his greatest nemesis, was this powerful!

  “This universe is pletely different than any other,” he thought. “I have to get back there! Even if they punched me, they’re reasonable people. I also o recharge my strength and energies. That punch alone drained most of my power. Thankfully, they got a Yellow Sun here as well!”

  FLASH!

  He rushed outside of Jupiter, easily pierg through its destructive, massive storms and cloud seas and flying across space baars.

  At the same time, within the surfaars, tless cracks tio spread everywhere, as small golden pilrs of light were beied across its entire surface.

  Bing Xue decided to vert the entire p into a Formation, using its power, size, and internal energy to fuel her Formation’s power.

  CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

  At the same time as she cshed against her oppo, a young man from the future with several of her same abilities and even treasures.

  She even realized now that although his clothes designs were different, they had the same material as her own clothes; he was wearing her dress, now modified into male clothes.

  “He has truly ied my things,” she thought. “So he’s truly…?”

  “{Starlight Mantis Space-Cutting Scythes}!”

  Dozens of gigantic scythes rushed down; Bing Xue was too heavy to evade this time, as they came down and cut through her heavy golden armor, which was actually part of her very body.

  CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

  Crack, crack…!

  CRACK!

  “I end your creativity, but your abilities are still far inferior to mine,” he said, as his sword suddenly began glowing, Bing Xue’s eyes widened after he suddenly…

  K!

  Split them apart! Suddenly dividing the Yin Yang Bde into two different swords, a Yin Bde and a Yang Bde! One overflowing with shadows and darkness, and the other with holy light.

  This was a feature she had not added to the sword upon its creation, something she had never used or done before.

  It was something he did by modifying it.

  “By splitting its power, I trate the power of Yin and Yang in two different Swords!” he said. “You may think they’re weaker now, but having two bdes allows me to use yet another ability I’ve polished and improved from yours, one I’ve evolved into my own!”

  FLASH!

  He rushed towards Bing Xue, rapidly enhang and shapeshifting his body into a slealler form that timized for speedy attacks.

  Swinging both bdes at the same time against her, Bing Xue quickly jured her Yin and Yang Shield, part of her Divinity Tree’s Authority.

  “Your shield is powerful, but it take this?!”

  The man smiled fidently and maliciously as he suddenly unleashed his Primordial Immemorial Venerable Aura at once!

  RUMBLE!

  “{Chaotic Disruption Dual Void Bde Arts}: {Heaven ah-iiness}”

  “What?!”

  Bing Xue gritted her teeth as the two bdes resonated with one another, at the same time as the man’s body spun around, and then a wave of pure emptiness reached her, splitting the heavens of Mars and the earth of the p’s surface at the same time.

  CRAAASH!

  A massive piears was cleaved off, as Bing Xue’s eyes widened in utter disbelief! At the same time, her shield gained tless cracks as the immense, invisible force of her oppo’s powerful teique overcame it!

  Crack, crack…!

  CRAAASH!

  Her shield broke, exploding into pieces, and then the wave of emptiness reached her, beginning to rapidly disie her armor and then her body.

  “Uuuagh!”

  She couldn’t help but give off a scream of agony as she resisted the tremendous, all-destructive force as it ed her pletely.

  “See?! I am more superior than you!”

  The young man screamed loudly as he shook the entire p of Mars; tless cracks spread further, and the rge piece of surface that had been cleaved off flew out of the orbit.

  The cracks and the rge, cleaved side revealed the boiling core of Mars as molteal surged from within, c its rocky surfad rapidly making the entire premble.

  Mars was about to be destroyed if this tinued!

  The amount of dangerous space debris could create a plete cataclysm over Earth as tless massive meteors fall over the entire p, ning it to its demise.

  “Yes, I cede…”

  Bing Xue smiled, as half of her body had already been ed by the deadly and incredibly powerful dual-bde art.

  “Yet…”

  Her eyes wideurning deep red; suddenly, her light became darkness, and she gained demonic horns and bck feathered wings and became the embodiment of pure darkness.

  “Where there’s light, there’s also always darkness. I did not only master the power of light but also of shadows!”

  As she fully reformed her body, Bing Xue unleashed all her Demonic Curses, Shadows, Darkness, ah Divinities, Skills, Abilities, and Teiques, turning half her body into tless bck s and ing herself around his entire body!

  FLAAASH!

  “UGH?! What are you…?!”

  He suddenly felt slightly weaker and even more restricted as the Demonic Curses started to sta themselves over and ain.

  “Aargh!”

  He screamed in agony, falling to his knees while struggling to stay strong! He desperately swung his bdes, cutting through Bing Xue’s entire body, only for her shadows to rapidly emerge again.

  “I am weaker than you, I admit it!” she roared. “But you’re still thousands of years from reag my ingness!”

  “ingness?!”

  FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

  While he was trated trying to prove that he was superior, Bing Xue already had jured dozens of towers of light all aars.

  Eae of them quickly maed pletely, as the young man noticed them appearing oer another!

  “What?!”

  As he wondered what she was even pnning, it was already too te.

  Every tower of light is interected with rays of golden sunlight and lightning, rapidly f a p-wide formation!

  At the same time, she powered suation by a new Divinity Tree Ability, which rapidly blossomed from within her Divinity Tree Roots.

  FLUOSH!

  “{Divinity Tree Formation Of Heavenly Lotus And Demonic Hell}…”

  FLAAASH!

  The towers interected as demonid holy powers flowed through them, rapidly creating a gigantic demonitagram and also a blossoming, golden-colored lotus flower in the middle.

  A bination of the Lotus of Heaven and the Demonic Hell she had assimited, fused into one!

  “T-This is…?!”

  Immediately after that, he felt it; his soul was beginning to be impacted by a tremendous force he could not defend against!

  “It seems I was right; you only prioritized cultivating yhting power and your physical body above all else,” said Bing Xue. “But it seems your Soul is oftentimes wide open for an attack like this, young man!”

  “N-No! NOOO!” He screamed furiously, swinging his swords against Bing Xue and cutting her many limbs into pieces, only for them to rapidly regee.

  “It’s over.”

  Bing Xue gathered all her powers into this p-wide formation, the near destru of the p revealing its molteallic core fueling the formation with even more energy and power than she imagined.

  “{Heavenly Demonic Soul Sealing Formation: Six Paths of Nirvana}!”

  FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

  Six rivers, six paths, eae of a different color, reached the young man, pierg his entire body and reag his soul, ing his soul with their divine brilliance, and sealing him!

  “AAARRGGHHH!”

  As he screamed, his soul rapidly weakeremendously! Bing Xue could easily slice it apart aroy it right now!

  …However, no matter what, she would never dare do such a thing.

  As his soul was sealed, his gigantic body rapidly went back to normal, being the same as how Bing Xue saw him inally.

  He fell from the skies of Mars, as she quickly returo her human appearance as well, although in her demoni, and caught him in midair.

  “Uuggh…! Y-Youuu!”

  He was still scious, stretg his hands towards her face to grab it, but he cked the strength; his soul was sealed; it was already incredible he could speak and move evehat happened.

  “You’re very powerful,” Bing Xue smiled. “I am really proud of you, my son.”

  “Ngh…!” The man gritted his teeth angrily, furrowing his eyebrows, yet… he couldn’t help but cry; tears fell from his eyes. “Why… Why did you… die? Why?”

  Bing Xue knew from the beginning who he was, but right now, he finally was able to firm it.

  He was her soher the child of Urbosa or Merkite; his wolf-like traits, such as his wolf ears, tail, fur, cws, fangs, and eyes, bined with Bing Xue’s hair, her grace, and her charm…

  It was so obvious he was their son…

  “I’m sorry…” Bing Xue started g as well. “Just now I got to know of such a thing… I had even thought that a timeline where I existed wasn’t possible. But it seems I was wrong.”

  “D-Don’t try… to pity me…!” Her son groaned. “I…! Ungh…! I will protect Earth… instead of you…!”

  “You’re so stubborn,” she sighed. “I suppose that is a trait you ied from me.”

  “Don’t… think you … Ugh…” The young man could barely speak. “Talk to me, like… we’re… Ah…”

  Before he could even finish his words, he closed his eyes and passed out.

  “You must have suffered a lot,” Bing Xue sighed. “I five your unruliness… Because you probably went through even worse things than I had… That world where you came from must be desote and lonely, isn’t it? My poor child…”

  She sighed, caressing her son’s fad then ing his tears… Although this was a very serious moment, she couldn’t help but find him really cute.

  And she also felt somewhat happy… that one of her children would grow to bee s, so amazing.

  He truly surpassed her.

  His only fw was his overfidend ck of experiehings that be easily overe with a good enough master thten his path.

  “I suppose you’re done… Hah, although Mars had to pay the price of your family battle…”

  The voice of Gaxy Man echoed from above as Bing Xue’s sharp eyes gred at the man in silence.

  “Calm down; I have no iions to hurt any of you… I am a hero… or I try to be, most of the time,” he sighed. “I’ve e from another universe, I believe… I’m as fused as you are, truly.”

  “What do you want?” Bing Xue asked, her aura growing stronger, like a mother proteg her little pup. “Don’t you dare touch my son…”

  “I-I already told you I didn’t have any iions! Jesus…” Gaxy Man flew a bit back. “A lot of debris was thrown away from Mars as it was beiroyed by your battle! I must go take care of it aroy it into little bits, so it won’t affect Earth or the Moon! Do you have some ability to hold the p from beiroyed, though? I’ve already analyzed it, and its core is about to bust withihan thirty minutes!”

  “…” Bing Xue read through his iions with her powerful Eyes and found no bad iions whatsoever.

  If anything, she felt shocked… He was an incredibly kied man. His only iion was to help others and protect the p.

  “Fufu,” she giggled. “You remind me of a certain ic superhero…”

  “I’ve heard that a lot!” Gaxy Man ughed heartily. “So? Would you cooperate?”

  “Okay,” Bing Xue nodded. “With one dition.”

  “Huh?” Gaxy Man tilted his head. “Yes? If I fulfill it…”

  “Join my sect.”

  “…Sect?”
