Chapter 66: The Seal Breaks, Battle Against the Molding Soul Realm
Chapter 66: The Seal is Broken, Battle Against the Divine Moulding Realm
Shen Wei was notoriously greedy and lustful, maintaining a vast harem that made him famous throughout the entire Xuanyang County.
Rumors had it that his consorts numbered as many as three thousand.
Somehow, Shen Wei had also acquired a dual-cultivation technique that allowed him to absorb the essence of women to nourish his own strength. Despite surrounding himself with so many women, his cultivation had not lagged behind; in fact, he remained the strongest martial artist in the Shen family.
Therefore, the moment he laid eyes on Su Wanyi, he felt as though a heavenly maiden had descended before him.
His heart was instantly captured.
He had to capture Su Wanyi alive!
He wanted her, and he wanted her sword as well!
"Shen Ting, go down there and drag that little girl over here!"
Aura of absolute authority radiating from him, Shen Wei gave a grand wave of his hand.
"Understood!" Shen Ting, a cultivator at the first level of the Origin Sea Realm, nodded and descended.
Crack!
Right at that moment, a restriction within Su Wanyi's body shattered.
The aura around her surged violently.
In a split second, she leaped from the third level of the Origin Sea Realm all the way to the third level of the Divine Moulding Realm!
"Hehe... The Ancestor has lifted the seal on me!"
Joy bloomed in Su Wanyi's heart.
Just as expected... Ever since they stepped foot into the Chang residence, every single twist and turn had been meticulously orchestrated by the Ancestor.
Just like back in Silver Moon City.
Watching Su Wanyi instantly skyrocket from the Origin Sea Realm to the third level of the Divine Moulding Realm, Shen Ting’s eyes widened in horror as he stumbled back several steps.
"You... How is your cultivation at the Divine Moulding Realm?"
Shen Ting asked in utter shock.
Within the courtyard, every single member of the Chang family was equally stunned.
They stood frozen like clay statues.
"This..."
Chang Feng clenched his fists, staring blankly at Su Wanyi.
This exquisitely beautiful young girl was actually a formidable expert at the third level of the Divine Moulding Realm?
A wave of shock washed over Chang Feng, stirring up tumultuous seas within his heart.
To possess the cultivation of the third level of the Divine Moulding Realm at around twenty years of age was unheard of in the entire Xuanyang County.
Perhaps only transcendent sects could nurture such peerless prodigies.
Thinking back to the immortal-like young man in white, whose entire being radiated the aura of a veritable deity, Chang Feng knew that the man's cultivation must be even more unfathomable!
It seemed... they were saved this time.
At this thought, tears of relief welled up in Chang Feng's eyes.
Truly, the ancestors spirits were watching over them, blessing the Chang family so they might survive this near-extinction calamity...
Chang Feng was overcome with uncontrollable emotion.
Among all the members of the Chang family, the most profoundly shocked was undoubtedly Chang Lvdie.
She and Su Wanyi had entered the Silver Moon City Lord's Mansion together on that fateful day.
At first, she had assumed Su Wanyi's cultivation was slightly inferior to her own, a tier lower and less powerful.
Little did she know, Sister Su had triggered a golden glow upon the strength-testing stone!
And after participating in the Three-Origin Martial Gathering, Sister Su had fought off numerous Origin Sea Realm experts consecutively, breaking through all the way to the third level of the Origin Sea Realm amid the battles.
Leaving her far, far behind!
Yet.
Even more unthinkable was the fact that Sister Su's cultivation had been suppressed all along!
Her true cultivation was that of a mighty expert at the third level of the Divine Moulding Realm!
"Sister Su, are you truly a Divine Moulding Realm master?"
Shocked beyond measure, Chang Lvdie still found it hard to believe.
Her eyes wide and her mouth agape, her cute apple-like face wore an expression of vivid, comical disbelief.
"Indeed, little sister..." Su Wanyi turned her head to look at her, a faint smile blooming across her stunning face.
"How can this be?" High up in the air, the expressions of Shen Wei and the five other Shen family experts shifted dramatically.
This little girl was actually a powerhouse at the third level of the Divine Moulding Realm!
It was entirely unexpected.
However, the thought of taking this young woman into his harem quickly reignited Shen Wei's desire, convincing him this would be his greatest conquest yet.
A scorching heat flared in Shen Wei's chest.
With a wave of his hand, the rest of the group descended alongside him.
Shen Wei was brimming with confidence.
The Shen family alone boasted two experts at the third level of the Divine Moulding Realm, plus himself at the fourth level... Six of them dealing with a single young girl at the third level of the Divine Moulding Realm was more than enough.
"Hahaha, so what if you are in the Divine Moulding Realm? Once you are in Xuanyang County, in my territory, you cannot stir up any waves. I suggest you obediently surrender yourself!"
Shen Wei laughed arrogantly.
"Delusional! Shameless villain!" Su Wanyi knitted her brows, let out a furious cry, and executed the opening stance of the Divine Dragon Sword Technique.
In an instant, the phantom of a golden dragon, dozens of feet long, coiled behind her.
The golden dragon phantom looked down from above, its pair of golden draconic eyes radiating a chilling gaze that pressed down with immense pressure.
"What kind of sword technique is this?"
Taken aback, the six experts of the Shen family reflexively stepped back half a pace, shock flooding their faces.
The sword technique had not even been fully unleashed; merely its opening stance exerted such overwhelming pressure upon them.
"Attack! Let us take her down together."
With a grim expression, Shen Wei abruptly drew his sword and charged forward first.
Seeing six men ganging up on Sister Su alone, Chang Lvdie arched her brows and sneered mockingly, "Six grown men from the Shen family bullying my Sister Su all by themselves—truly shameless!"
"You're courting death!" Enraged by her words, Shen Ting spun around and lunged straight at Chang Lvdie.
Whoosh!
A flash of the golden dragon phantom appeared right before Shen Ting as Su Wanyi slashed down with her sword.
Shen Ting was struck with sudden terror.
He had not expected Su Wanyi to move so swiftly.
Moreover, the gap in their cultivation realms was simply too vast; he was no match for her whatsoever.
Bang!
Su Wanyi's sword strike was as fast as thunder, shattering Shen Ting's sword and slicing clean through half of his arm.
"Argh!"
Screaming in agony, Shen Ting was sent flying backward.
"You're asking to die!" Witnessing this sudden turn of events, Shen Wei felt his eyes split with rage. Sword light flashing like lightning, he thrust blade after blade toward Su Wanyi.
The remaining Divine Moulding Realm experts coordinated seamlessly, launching fierce attacks from various blind spots.
Meanwhile.
The injured Shen Ting watched blood gush from his severed arm. Gritting his teeth, he quickly jabbed several acupoints on his body to stem the bleeding.
Swallowing a medicinal pill, Shen Ting picked up his severed arm from the ground and fled in a panic.
Lacking the strength to continue fighting and unable to offer any assistance, he hoped that if he hurried back with his severed limb, it might still be reattached.
The Shen family's treasury contained a precious ointment renowned for its miraculous healing properties regarding severed limbs.
Swish, swish, swish!
The sword lights of the five major Shen family experts rained down like a tidal wave, yet Su Wanyi remained calm. Wielding the Divine Dragon Sword Technique, she counterattacked, engaging all five of them in a fierce melee.
For a moment, the battle grew intensely ferocious, neither side able to gain the upper hand.
Seeing Su Wanyi holding her ground effortlessly against five Divine Moulding Realm experts and even fighting with exhilarating ease, Chang Lvdie stamped her feet in pure excitement.
This Sister Su possessed terrifying strength!
"My child, this time... our Chang family is saved..."
Chang Feng walked over, tears streaming down his face as he sobbed uncontrollably.
Seeing her father weeping so bitterly, Chang Lvdie began to cry along with him.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered her eldest brother.
Wiping away her tears, Chang Lvdie asked in grief, "Father, Eldest Brother hasn't appeared yet. Could he too have been harmed by the Shen people?"
"Three days ago, people from the Shen family came and beat your eldest brother into a critical state..."
Wiping his tears with a heart-wrenching ache, Chang Feng finally stopped concealing the truth and recounted the tragic ordeal that had befallen the Chang residence that day.
...
Inside the ancestral hall.
Ye Lin still stood quietly before the memorial tablet of Chang Yuchun.
Ten thousand years later, today he was keeping company with this brother of old.
With a soft creak, the door pushed open.
An elderly man in grey robes, his face as pale as withered wood, pushed open the door and stepped inside.
