Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1413: 759: Searching Everywhere

Yet in that instant, Xue Susu burst out with a blinding radiance, and the crimson light coiling around her instantly fractured bit by bit.

A streak of splendor flashed, revealing a stone sword stained with blood.

Xue Susu’s gaze sharpened, and she swept her arm forward, making the stone sword glide slowly across this realm, free from any mortal essence.

Chila!

A sharp rip echoed like tearing fabric, as the immense and limitless heavens tore apart, carving a massive, apparently infinite, profound rift. The fabric of space-time quivered, on the verge of breaking.

Right then, the crimson light encasing Zhao Sheng and Wu Yue also crumbled away.

Wen Shifei stumbled back, a profound sword scar running from his crown down to his toes, giving the illusion that he was almost cleaved in half.

His eyes widened in shock at the blood-tinted stone sword gripped by Xue Susu, his features twisting in alarm.

“Demon Slaying Sword! You… To think Yangjian Venerable would grant you a Sword Spirit!! Impossible, get out of my Grotto Heaven!” Deep terror showed in Wen Shifei’s eyes as he bellowed suddenly, releasing a torrent of scarlet light.

Zhao Sheng sensed a spinning vertigo, and upon steadying his vision, he realized he’d been hurled outside abruptly.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue appeared equally disoriented.

But Xue Susu had vanished completely.

Within the Grotto Heaven, nine-hued brilliance enveloped Xue Susu, and she wielded the stone sword once more, slicing toward the realm.

“Stop!”

Wen Shifei’s face paled, and he yelled fiercely, summoning a deep crimson cauldron over his head that radiated a clear, mystical glow. This vessel felt immensely weighty, as though it could crush space-time itself, clearly a supreme artifact.

The cauldron soared forth independently, intercepting the stone sword’s path.

A deafening boom resounded!

The boundless ground quaked fiercely, the celestial dome dimmed, and the firmament cracked in myriad places, threatening total ruin.

The instant after, with a snap, the deep crimson cauldron exploded into myriad fragments, plummeting fast to the earth and gouging enormous impact pits stretching for hundreds of miles!

Wen Shifei coughed up a gush of vital blood, his form fading and distorting rapidly.

In that moment, he cried out in dread, “Aunt, cease your strikes! My Grotto Heaven won’t endure a third blow!”

Upon hearing him, a spark lit in Xue Susu’s eyes, and abruptly, a vivid, multicolored mushroom sprouted on her shoulder. It bore clear facial traits like brows, eyes, and lips, its wide eyes fluttering quickly, fixed intently on Wen Shifei.

“Ah, Extreme Emotion Immortal Mushroom! This is… disastrous!” Wen Shifei shrieked in panic at the sight of this vibrant mushroom.

Prior to yielding to the Alien Demon, Wen Shifei had been an Integration Realm powerhouse cultivating the Supreme Heartless Dao in the Taiyi Spirit Palace!

And the Extreme Emotion Immortal Mushroom, a relic from antiquity, originated in Taiyi Immortal Heaven, serving as the perfect counter to the Supreme Heartless Sect.

“Extreme Emotion, your move!” Xue Susu shot a look at the Extreme Emotion Immortal Mushroom.

“Hehe, I’ve got this.”

The Extreme Emotion Immortal Mushroom cheekily extended its tongue, gathering its glowing essence, weaving countless shimmering, glorious “bubbles” into a foggy stream that rushed at Wen Shifei.

Wen Shifei yearned to escape, but after eyeing his surroundings, he swiftly abandoned the thought, remaining rooted in place.

In a blink, the stream of extreme emotion crashed onto Wen Shifei, shifting into an illusion that seeped into his form.

A fungus-like emblem surfaced on his brow, then faded away.

“Ah!”

Wen Shifei wailed in torment and suffering, yet abruptly his features went blank, rigid and detached, like something devoid of life.

The very next instant, the cry cut off sharply!

Wen Shifei blurred forward, materializing next to Xue Susu, gazing at her with a blank stare, intoning icily, “Hehe, this one is indeed no match for the cunning of that ancient fiend! Very well, I yield!”

Xue Susu rested the stone sword against his shoulder, stating evenly, “You erred in bowing to the Alien Demon, and even more in leveraging the master’s life as leverage. Given your safeguarding of this domain, death may be averted, but punishment in life is inevitable. Obey commands henceforth, and the emotional trial won’t descend, but persist in defiance, and you’ll perish without a grave!

Now, speak quickly—where is the master at present?”

A trace of reluctance crossed Wen Shifei’s face at these words.

Noticing that, Xue Susu’s intent stirred, and the Demon Slaying Sword promptly unleashed a devastating presence.

Seeing it, Wen Shifei let out a sigh, seemingly accepting fate, though his look stayed rigid and frosty, appearing oddly eerie.

“Sigh, with Senior Sister Yun Qing having a successor like you, she can pass on contentedly. As for your master’s location…”

…

As Zhao Sheng and Wu Yue traded looks, a rift suddenly ripped open nearby, and two silhouettes emerged, one pursuing the other.

Spotting Xue Susu leading the way, Wu Yue exhaled in relief at once, rushing forward with worry and saying, “Senior Sister Xue, thank goodness you’re unharmed.”

Then, he couldn’t resist peeking at the nearby Wen Shifei, a hint of dread in his gaze.

Zhao Sheng darted over too, eyeing Xue Susu and Wen Shifei in surprise, sensing an odd shift.

Just then, Wen Shifei tilted his head skyward and declared abruptly, “This one’s presence vanished briefly earlier, and now the Tribulation Demon overseeing this star has sensed it—I must return to Human Species City without delay. You should all depart this area swiftly. We’ll reconnect soon.”

Before the trio could reply, his shape wavered and dissolved into nothingness.

Xue Susu observed the rapidly dimming heavens plunge into inky blackness, her expression shifting faintly, and commanded at once, “Use the Ten Directions Earth Tunneling Talisman now, let’s go—fast!”

As she spoke, a veil of muted ochre mystical glow emerged from her frame, coalescing into a clump of amber luminescence that dove into the dense ground beneath in a instant.
