The sky above the Dragon Kingdom was already fracturing like shattered glass.
Feng took another devastating strike from the Goddess — a massive golden beam of divine judgment that slammed into his chest like a falling star. The impact sent him crashing to the ground, his body carving a deep trench through the ruined earth. He spat out a mouthful of blood, the metallic taste flooding his mouth as fresh agony ripped through his already battered frame.
He forced himself back to his feet, blood dripping from his lips and the deep wounds across his torso. His breathing was ragged, but his eyes burned with unyielding resolve.
"If this continues," he muttered, voice hoarse but steady, "the world might be destroyed."
He gripped the Cosmic Trident Spear tightly. Purple lightning surged violently along its black length. With a powerful swing, he tore open a jagged portal in the air — a swirling rift of darkness and cosmic energy that led straight into the Celestial Realms.
The Goddess's eyes widened in fury.
Feng leaped through the portal without hesitation.
He emerged in the pristine, glowing expanse of the Celestial Realms — vast floating islands of marble and light, rivers of liquid starlight, and towering palaces of divine crystal. The moment he appeared, he launched a brutal counterattack.
The trident swung with cosmic force. A wave of purple lightning mixed with void-cutting energy exploded toward the Goddess. She raised her hands to defend, creating a massive golden barrier, but the impact was too great. The force blasted her backward, sending her flying across the celestial landscape and crashing into a grand divine palace, shattering its pillars.
Feng followed immediately, stepping through the air with terrifying speed.
Now they stood face to face in the heart of the Celestial Realms.
The battle turned heavy and brutal.
Every clash was instantaneous and devastating.
Feng swung the trident in wide, merciless arcs, each strike capable of slicing through space itself. The Goddess countered with beams of pure holy light and divine fists that could pulverize mountains. The sky of the Celestial Realms cracked and shattered with every exchange. Floating islands crumbled and fell into the void. Rivers of starlight boiled away. Grand palaces collapsed in clouds of golden dust.
The entire Celestial Realms shook violently. Cracks spread across the divine landscape like spiderwebs. The world itself trembled under the force of their fight.
Feng fought without mercy — his dagger and trident moving in a deadly dance, cutting through divine barriers and holy light. The Goddess retaliated with overwhelming power, her strikes sending shockwaves that annihilated everything within range.
The battle was so intense that the very fabric of the Celestial Realms began to break apart.
Islands disintegrated.
Palaces turned to rubble.
The once-pristine realm of the gods was being torn apart by the clash between the empowered rejected soul and the Goddess of Light herself.
Neither side was holding back.
The war that had started in a small border village had now escalated into a cataclysmic battle that threatened to destroy the heavens.
