Yet the woman's strength was truly formidable; even though he could rouse a fraction of the dao chains' power, he could not wholly suppress her, and more white hair came surging in.
The Empress and Yuanmu knew that if Shen Mu fell, they would surely die, and so struck with all their might against that white hair. Below, the woman dragged the twin lotus back and brandished it against the suppression of the dao chains, shrieking without cease; the shrieks left the three of them dizzy and muddled, blood flowing unceasingly from eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
"This time I fear there is no escape.

" Shen Mu thought dimly in his muddled mind.
Suddenly the Guixu tide erupted, lifting their bodies and rushing them up toward the sky above Guixu! The three were startled and overjoyed; that the Guixu tide erupted at this moment could be said to have saved their lives.
Their bodies moved faster and faster in the tide, and soon they left the woman's white hair behind!
"Hahaha, Heaven protects the good! " Lady Yuanmu laughed excitedly.
No sooner had she spoken than the six hundred million years of this universe swiftly drained away in the Guixu tide.
They looked up and saw the great destruction of the Sixteenth Universe, as boundless and terrifying energy gathered and poured toward the great abyss of Guixu!
In a single instant they felt the supreme power of the great kalpa of destruction, and their own great daos began to crumble at speed!
The three were so terrified that every hair on their bodies stood on end.
Shen Mu reached out and seized a dao chain; then with a mighty swing and fling, the dao chain coiled around the Empress's body.
The tide howled; the dao chain was stretched taut, throttling the Empress half to death.
