Within the vast Heaven and Earth, in the sky above a snow-filled continent, a battle of titanic proportions was happening. The space bent because their physical clashes and energy attacks were strong enough to eradicate mountain ranges. The male and female who were battling were once lovers. However, now they were fighting to the death.

The female had an aloof and murderous aura, making all living beings kneel to plead for mercy. Her hair was as dark as a Moonless night and straight like a waterfall. Her eyes had a silver luster that could charm someone with one look and freeze them with the next. She also had a beautiful and sleek black-scaled tail behind her.

She controlled the moon in the sky, creating attacks that could eternally freeze even the hottest fires, and half of the stars obeyed her commands, attacking the man before her like shooting stars.

The male had an imposing and otherworldly aura, making all living beings kneel in awe and reverence. He was tall and handsome, with a head full of raven-black wavy hair. His eyes had a golden luster that could brighten your day with one look and make you feel safe with the next. Behind him was an imposing yet charming long golden tail.

He controlled the Sun in the sky, resisting the chilling attacks of his opponent. The other half of the stars listened to his pleas, defending against her continuous attacks against him.

The man shouted, "I've already told you I didn't betray you! It was the Supreme Elder that leaked the location of our family!"

The female sneered and calmly answered, "So what, if it was not for you telling others about our most precious secret and cultivation techniques, would they have any drive to attack? They wouldn't have!"

The man couldn't help but flinch. The woman didn't miss that chance, and while he was distracted, she fired a giant moonbeam at him. *BOOOM!* He barely managed to defend himself, but the mountain-destroying explosion sent him flying hundreds of kilometers away.

When he managed to stop the momentum, the male's face couldn't help but distort in pain, not physical, but pain that his lover could deliver an attack like that to him. He desperately tried to convince her, "Even if it was like that, haven't we taken our revenge!? We-"

The female instantly appeared before him and cut his speech right there with a powerful tail lash to his face. The space around them trembled, and the man was sent spinning with blood leaking from his mouth through a whole mountain. The woman screamed at him, her voice moving the clouds away. "WE!? HOW DARE YOU INCLUDE YOURSELF! If it was not for me charging straight in, would you have done anything!? YOU WOULDN'T! Even if I were to die against them, I would have been happy to take my revenge, but you had to intervene, making some of them escape and stopping my self-explosion! BASTARD!"

An endless amount of moon energy and falling stars started gathering in a whirlpool around her. When the man got out of the mountain and saw this, his eyes opened wildly. He hastily started to charge his own attack by gathering the rest of the stars and combining them with the Sun energy to defend himself.

However, even while preparing to defend against her attack, he couldn't help but frantically shout. "You, you, you! Change'er, do you want to destroy this whole continent!? Stop this madness! Why don't you understand that I did everything because of my love for you!? We can always rebuild our family!"

Change'er couldn't help but feel pain in her heart, "Tai Yang... Even if that is true... We can't continue to live the same way after everything we have done. Our family is gone. Our powers are only half of what they were used to be. This attack will certainly cripple me after I use it."

"Since you claim to love me... Do not block this attack, and I won't block yours. We shall meet in our next reincarnation" Then, she showed her first smile since the beginning of their battle. It was a smile with infinite gentleness, like the moon that guards you at night.
