Chapter 804 - 38: Devouring Divinity Transformation Realm
Chapter 804: Chapter 38: Devouring Divinity Transformation Realm
Zhenyang Sect.
Sword Tomb Peak, Sword Prison.
"Xin’Er, Seventh Princess, today the three of us will break through the realm together. By using the power of the breakthrough, we can definitely break through the grand array of the Sword Prison."
"Remember, you must forget all distractions and keep your heart calm."
"Yes, Mother!"
"Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle Tantai, for your guidance!"
Su Xin and Wu Yiren sat cross-legged in a cell, while from the cell diagonally opposite, Tantai Mingyue’s voice transmitted to them.
The three had been imprisoned in this Sword Prison for over ten days, with Tantai Mingyue teaching the two daily how to cultivate using the spiritual power within the grand array of the Sword Prison.
In this special environment, Su Xin and Wu Yiren surprisingly calmed their minds and their cultivation made rapid progress.
Now, Su Xin had reached the peak of the Seventh-Layer Nascent Soul, while Wu Yiren was only a step away from the Fourth-Layer Nascent Soul.
And Tantai Mingyue was on the verge of breaking through the Nascent Soul Peak.
Tantai Mingyue allowed herself to be captured into this Sword Prison precisely for this opportunity; she planned to use the peak spiritual power of the three breaking through together to shatter the grand array of the Sword Prison.
Then, relying on her familiarity with the Zhenyang Sect, she had some confidence in evading Chen Qingmo’s pursuit and escaping from Zhenyang Mountain.
Tantai Mingyue was also prepared that, in case of any unexpected situations, she would stay behind while Su Xin and Wu Yiren escape first.
By then, she would be in the Divinity Transformation Realm, and facing Chen Qingmo would not necessarily be futile.
Having thought it through, Tantai Mingyue closed her eyes and began to concentrate on breaking through the realm.
In another cell, Su Xin and Wu Yiren already glowed with dazzling golden light.
After over ten days of dedicated cultivation, they had accumulated considerable spiritual power, making this breakthrough inevitable.
They were now waiting for a moment of opportunity for the three to unite their hearts and break through together.
An hour passed, and Tantai Mingyue suddenly opened her eyes, giving a clear shout:
"Break!"
Su Xin and Wu Yiren immediately channeled all their spiritual power towards the obstacle.
Bang!
Bang!
Two bursts of spiritual power soared into the sky, crashing into the grand array of the Sword Prison.
However, the powerful spiritual power that Tantai Mingyue was supposed to release during her breakthrough did not come as expected.
The two women looked with surprise toward the diagonal cell.
"Mother?"
"Junior Martial Uncle Tantai?"
In the next instant, both faces turned pale.
A terrifying, ancient aura appeared suddenly, as if crossing over tens of thousands of years, and rushed straight into Tantai Mingyue’s cell.
"Ah!!"
Following that came Tantai Mingyue’s scream of terror and agony:
"So this is how it is! Ah! I mustn’t... mustn’t enter Divinity Transformation! Ah!!"
"Mother!!"
Su Xin was horrified, trying to rush out of the cell, only to be bounced back by the array.
Listening to the increasingly agonized screams from the opposite cell, she couldn’t help shaking all over, her face flooded with tears.
"Mother!!"
Wu Yiren also turned pale, muttering, "How could this be? What exactly is it?"
The two couldn’t have imagined that in the instant Tantai Mingyue stepped into Divinity Transformation, she would be attacked by this overwhelming, ancient aura.
It felt as if some terrifying creature had been lurking in the shadows, waiting for its prey to appear.
And its prey were cultivators entering Divinity Transformation!
Preying on Divinity Transformation cultivators sounded incredible, but it was the fact laid before them.
The two women seemed to have an epiphany.
No wonder no one had entered Divinity Transformation for five hundred years.
As it turned out, those great cultivators were consumed by this terrifying, mysterious aura the moment they entered the Divinity Transformation Realm!
"Mother! Mother!"
Su Xin desperately tried to rush out, but was repeatedly bounced back by the array on the cell.
In the dark cell diagonally opposite, Tantai Mingyue’s gradually weakening screams continued to echo.
Clearly, her spiritual power was continuously being devoured by that terrifying, mysterious aura.
Before long, not only her spiritual power, but perhaps her entire body would be devoured, bones and all!
Su Xin was once again rebounded by the array on the cell, her hair disheveled, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, tears of blood flowing from her eyes, transforming this once graceful and gentle woman into something like a vengeful ghost.
She struggled to get up from the ground, wanting to charge at the cell door once more.
"Guard your Spirit Platform, lower your cultivation!"
Suddenly, an elegant yet icy voice resounded.
Chen Qingmo appeared before Tantai Mingyue’s cell, speaking to her.
The overwhelming, terrifying aura ignored him and continued to invade the cell.
Moments later, the aura gradually weakened, and then completely disappeared as if it had never appeared.
The Sword Prison finally returned to silence, leaving only Su Xin’s sobbing and Tantai Mingyue’s labored breaths.
"Mother, Mother, are you okay?"
With Wu Yiren’s support, Su Xin stood up, crying as she called towards the opposite cell.
Shortly, a weak voice from the opposite cell answered:
"Xin’Er, Mother... is fine. It’s Mother’s fault, almost causing you harm."
"Mother, I dragged you down, I’m sorry, Mother."
Su Xin was in tears, unable to imagine what the consequences would be if that ancient, overwhelming aura had continued for even a moment longer.
It was Chen Qingmo who saved her mother this time.
Su Xin looked at Chen Qingmo and said, "...thank you."
Chen Qingmo turned back, his handsome face revealing a gentle smile. "Your mother, after all, was my wife once. How could I watch her die?"
Wu Yiren angrily yelled at Chen Qingmo, "You scum! My mother loved you deeply, yet you trampled on her feelings like this! I will seek justice for my mother!"
Chen Qingmo looked surprised and said to Su Xin, who was collapsed on the ground, "You haven’t told the little princess that Lin Yuan is dead?"
"What are you saying?!"
Wu Yiren froze, then grabbed the cell door, shouting:
"You’re lying! How could my mother be dead?! Did you kill her?!"
Chen Qingmo laughed, "Your mother and Ming Yue, both were my wives. How could I kill her? She committed suicide."
"Impossible! You’re talking nonsense! My mother was so proud, how could she have committed suicide?!"
Wu Yiren shouted desperately towards the opposite cell, "Junior Martial Uncle Tantai, my mother isn’t dead, right? Please tell me!"
Tantai Mingyue struggled to her feet and walked wearily to the cell door, speaking guilt-ridden, "Yiren, before your mother died, she entrusted you to me. I’m sorry I couldn’t get you out."
"Mother, Mother... is dead?"
Wu Yiren’s eyes lost focus, she sank softly to the ground like a soulless doll, her eyes devoid of focus, tears flowing silently.
Su Xin quickly helped her up, sending a gentle spiritual power into Wu Yiren’s meridians and Spirit Field to protect her heart and mind.
Chen Qingmo no longer paid attention to the two, turning to Tantai Mingyue, "Junior Martial Sister, why do you do this?"
Tantai Mingyue, her hair messy and clothes disheveled, leaned weakly against the cell door, separated from Chen Qingmo by a single door.
"You knew all along that entering Divinity Transformation would attract that terrible aura?"
Chen Qingmo said, "I underestimated you, didn’t expect you to reach Divinity Transformation so quickly."
Tantai Mingyue shouted sharply, "Chen Qingmo! Stop pretending! I will never trust you again!"
"Ming Yue, do you know why I saved you?"
Chen Qingmo looked at her, his eyes gentle, his smile eerie, as if seeing another person, "Because you look too much like my first wife. I didn’t want to see her die again."
