Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

Ling Xiao was dressed in white, and her jade-like face was filled with coldness and murderous intent. She walked slowly towards them, and the air around them seemed to freeze.

"How dare you, lowly mortals, come and disturb the place where this goddess practices meditation. How ridiculous!" Ling Xiao said coldly.

The thieves who came to covet the goddess' treasure suddenly felt a chill down their spines, and they quickly knelt on the ground, begging tremblingly: "We are ignorant and have offended the Saint, please forgive us. We are willing to submit to the Empress forever and be loyal to you!"

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, "Do you think you can get the forgiveness of this goddess like this? It's ridiculous." After saying that, she waved her hand lightly, and suddenly a powerful spiritual power swept over, trapping all the thieves in it, making them unable to move.

"Since you are so eager to be loyal to this goddess, then you can serve me." Ling Xiao said with a sneer.

A dazzling light condensed in her hand, and then turned into a sharp sword. Ling Xiao's sword-holding posture was elegant and sharp, which made people's hearts palpitate. She slowly waved the sword in her hand, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the thieves, and her eyes were full of arrogance.

"From today on, you are the eyes and ears of this goddess. If anyone dares to set foot here again, they will be wiped out immediately!" Ling Xiao said coldly.

The thieves were immediately terrified and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "We will obey the orders of the Saint Lady and guard this place carefully. We will never let anyone destroy the Saint Lady's place of meditation."

Ling Xiao nodded, "Very good, it seems that you are quite sensible. Then this goddess will let you go this time." After saying that, she waved her hand lightly, and the thieves trapped by her suddenly felt dizzy and then passed out.

After the thieves were completely unconscious, Ling Xiao put away the sword in her hand with satisfaction. She turned and walked into the hall, thinking about her next plan as she walked.

This goddess palace hidden in the deep valley is a secret dojo that Ling Xiao has painstakingly built over the years. Here, she can practice to her heart's content, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and break through the bottleneck in her heart. But now, these stupid mortals actually come to disturb her, which is really infuriating.

However, since these people voluntarily submitted to her, it would be a great opportunity to take advantage of them. Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a cunning light. She had already seen through the intentions of these thieves. They just wanted to sneak attack her when she was not prepared and steal the treasures in the palace of the goddess. However, how could they know that the palace contained endless spiritual power? How could these mere mortals steal it?

Ling Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sneer. She decided to let these stupid thieves serve her here and guard this secret dojo for her. If anyone dared to approach again, she would immediately order them to be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao's mood suddenly improved. She quickened her pace and came to a magnificent palace. In the palace was a majestic statue, exuding an awe-inspiring aura. This was the god that Ling Xiao had always worshipped devoutly - the Sun God.

Ling Xiao knelt down devoutly, clasped her hands together, and began to pray devoutly. She prayed to the Sun God to give her more powerful strength so that she could break through the bottleneck in her heart as soon as possible and become a goddess queen.

After a long time, Ling Xiao opened her eyes and saw that the statue was emitting a dazzling light, as if responding to her prayers. She felt a strong spiritual power surging in her body, and her heart was suddenly very excited.

"Sun God, I will become the most powerful goddess and queen and reshape the order of this world!" Ling Xiao said firmly.

After saying this, she slowly stood up, looking solemn and confident. She turned and walked out of the hall, coming to a quiet courtyard. The ground here was covered with white jade, and all kinds of strange and exotic spiritual herbs were planted around, emitting waves of charming fragrance.

This was where Ling Xiao usually practiced. She took a deep breath, then sat cross-legged and began to enter a deep state of meditation.

She wanted to use the spiritual energy here to break through the bottleneck in her heart as soon as possible and become a true goddess queen. Once she had enough power, no one could stop her from reshaping the world.

Just as Ling Xiao was immersed in her own meditation, there was a sudden noise outside. She frowned, obviously a little unhappy.

Could it be that those thieves she subdued were still not obedient? Ling Xiao cursed inwardly, then stood up and walked out.

A group of people in black were seen rushing towards the goddess' palace, holding various weapons in their hands. The thieves who had been subdued by her were holding weapons and trying their best to stop the attack of these people in black.

"Who dares to come here and disturb the quiet meditation of this goddess?" Ling Xiao scolded coldly.

The men in black immediately stopped and knelt on the ground, saying tremblingly: "We are here to seize the treasures in the palace of the goddess. Please forgive us, Saint!"

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, "So that's how it is. Then you know that the treasures in this palace are not something that mortals like you can get your hands on."

After she finished speaking, she gently raised her hand, and suddenly a powerful spiritual power burst out from all around, surrounding the men in black.

"Since you are so obsessed with the treasure of this goddess, then let you have a good taste of its power!" Ling Xiao said coldly.

The spiritual power seemed to have life, turning into countless green vines, rushing towards the men in black frantically. The men in black panicked and waved their weapons desperately to resist, but they found that the vines were incredibly tough and could not be cut at all.

Soon, the men in black were completely entangled and unable to move. The vines were entangled around their limbs crazily, continuously injecting powerful spiritual energy into them, making them feel a sharp pain as if their bodies were being torn apart.

"Ah! Help! Ah! It hurts! It hurts so much!" The men in black let out heart-wrenching screams and fell into extreme pain.

The thieves nearby were shocked by the powerful spiritual power and fell to their knees, begging tremblingly: "Lady Saint, we will never do this again. Please forgive us and let these people go!"

Ling Xiao glanced at them coldly, "Since this goddess has accepted you as her subordinates, I will naturally teach you a lesson a few times to let you know the price of submitting to me."

Then, she turned her gaze to the screaming men in black, "As for those of you who dare to invade my territory, don't even think about leaving here alive!"

After saying that, she waved her hand again, and the vines madly wrapped around the men in black, making a terrifying explosion. The men in black screamed miserably, and finally turned into powder and flew away in the air.

Seeing this scene, the thieves who were originally trembling with fear could not help but feel terrified. They no longer dared to have any doubts or thoughts of resistance, and could only kneel on the ground trembling with fear, waiting for Ling Xiao's decision.

Ling Xiao looked coldly at the cowering thieves in front of her, with a sneer on her lips. She stretched out her slender fingers and gently pointed at the thieves, "Since you have become my subordinates, then you should serve me well. From today on, you are the guards of this palace. If anyone dares to invade, you will kill them without mercy. Do you understand?"

The thieves nodded quickly, "We understand. We will do our best to protect the Saint's Palace. No one will be able to destroy the peace here!"

Ling Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, then you guys just keep a good lookout. This goddess has something very important to deal with."

After saying that, she turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing from the sight of the thieves.

At this time, the thieves finally breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other with horror in their eyes. The woman who claimed to be a "goddess" was too terrifying. It was unbelievable that she could easily destroy those powerful men in black by herself.

"She... who is she? She actually possesses such terrifying power." A thief said tremblingly.

Another thief smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that we have really stepped on the wolf's tail. If anyone dares to invade here again, I am afraid we will not even have a chance to resist."

Everyone nodded heavily, without exception, feeling deeply terrified about the situation before them. They could only pray that no one would come to disturb the Goddess Palace, otherwise they would be dead.

At this moment, a sharp gaze suddenly fell on them. Ling Xiao was standing in front of the palace gate, looking down at them coldly.

"What are you still standing there for?" she said coldly, "Didn't I tell you to guard this place well?"

The thieves were so frightened that they trembled all over and quickly saluted Ling Xiao respectfully, "Yes, yes, we will go and carry out the order of the Saint Lady!"

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, turned around and walked back into the hall. As she walked, she secretly thought about her next action plan.

If she wants to break through the bottleneck in her heart as soon as possible and become the true Queen of the Goddess, she must control all the resources in the Palace of the Goddess as soon as possible. Although these thieves are still obedient at present, if a more powerful force comes to covet in the future, she may need a stronger force to resist.

At this moment, her eyes inadvertently fell on the statue of the sun god. A bold idea suddenly flashed in her mind.

Perhaps, she could try to awaken the sun statue and gain more powerful power from it?

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. She quickened her pace, came to the sun statue, and began to kneel down and pray devoutly.

"Sun God, since you have chosen me to be your believer, please grant me even greater power. Let me become the ruler of this world and reshape the order of this world!"

The statue suddenly emitted a dazzling light as she prayed. Ling Xiao felt a powerful energy surging out of the statue,
