"I understand now..."
Baili Fengzhi sighed again, slowly closed her eyes, fell silent for a moment, and then softly said, "Mother, why didn’t you come to find me sooner, waiting until today? Do you know how much I’ve missed you over the years..."
Yan Yue, the Divine Monarch, was slightly startled, then embraced her, saying softly, "It was mother’s fault. When we return to the Demon Clan, your father and I will surely compensate you..."
Her soft murmur, like a helpless sigh, was also like a sorrowful low chant.
"Fengzhi, start quickly, once you..."
In an instant, a delicate hand wreathed in seven-colored flames suddenly pierced through Yan Yue’s chest, and strands of seven-colored flames surged directly at her Primordial Spirit, the dreadful flames burning the soul and burying the spirit, instantly engulfing her Primordial Spirit completely.
Yan Yue looked at Baili Fengzhi in astonishment, unable to stimulate her Primordial Spirit, her eyes filled with disbelief: "You...
"Fengzhi..." Lin Yue also stared in shock at this scene.
Duanmu Yan was also stunned.
He flew into a rage and was about to make a move, but the terrifying seven-colored flames surged out instantly, enveloping the surroundings, their frightening power something his mere Avatar couldn’t break through.
"You..." Duanmu Yan finally realized what had happened and incredulously looked at Baili Fengzhi: "You actually..."
Within the whisper, Baili Fengzhi’s aura and pressure surged wildly at a terrifying rate.
But with tears streaming down her face, she looked at Yan Yue, powerful yet fragile, even her Divine Thought Transmission tinged with sorrow:
"I still remember the heartless look in your eyes when you left me, it has always been this way, just because... even after giving birth to me, you couldn’t make him truly care for you, so you treated me as a burden?
"Just because he is the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan, and since the clan is in decline and your child is a good fit, you came back to apologize to me with a good act, showing love for me all to please him, willing to let your child lose her place, Mother... am I really so insignificant in your heart?"
Yan Yue’s Primordial Spirit was continuously burning with the dreadful seven-colored fire, she couldn’t even manipulate the Sky Shattering Treasure Mirror and just stared blankly at Baili Fengzhi, muttering, "You... you actually forced Harmonization... don’t you care about your life?"
Amidst the dreadful oppressive power, Baili Fengzhi’s body was engulfed in the surging billow of flames, and in the firelight, she gave a desolate smile: "Apart from this, is there any other way? From the moment I became aware, I knew there was no other option..."
Looking at her mother, she murmured, "From this point of view, I really do resemble you, Mother..."
The agony of her Primordial Spirit being scorched made Yan Yue tremble all over, the Heart Fire burning within her, causing her to become involuntarily excited and angry: "Even so, he still only sees you as a valuable pawn! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have threatened you back then, he wouldn’t have kept the Blood Covenant with you until now, I am at least your mother, you are born of me, why can’t I..."
The flames burning around Baili Fengzhi suddenly intensified, interrupting Yan Yue’s words.
Within the angry glow of the fire, she wiped the blood and tears from the corner of her eye with one hand, while her other hand trembled as she extracted the remaining Primordial Spirit of Yan Yue.
"You’re not entitled to slander His Highness! You don’t deserve to be my mother, I don’t need a mother, the affection you’ve force-fed me these days now only makes me feel ridiculed and disgusted!"
She gazed at the Primordial Spirit of her mother in her hand and said word by word:
"The fact is just one... you, as a mother, abandoned me, and now you use me as a bargaining chip to please the Demon Clan! Did you ever really consider me as your daughter?"
After pouring out the grievances that had been buried in her heart for many years, her expression calmed once more.
"Mom, this is the last time I’ll call you Mom... vanish."
Amidst the splendid and fearsome flames, the Primordial Spirit in Baili Fengzhi’s hands, already dwindled and melted down substantially, finally dissipated completely into a wisp of blue smoke.
The divine light of the Sky Shattering Treasure Mirror scattered and vanished, and Lin Yue regained his freedom.
At the same time, a huge seven-colored flame soared to the sky, sweeping past Duanmu Yan who stared fixedly at Baili Fengzhi, became a dreamlike phantom, and disappeared.
Baili Fengzhi looked a bit pale as she turned towards Lin Yue, her lips slowly curling into a faint smile.
