Chapter 235: The Revival of Heavenly Fate, Thunder Punishment, The Blessings of the Great Divine Shaman!
In the vast wilderness, only Shan Xun's breath oscillated between rising and falling.
The blazing light of the Primordial Spirit radiated across the Nine Domains and Thirteen Wastes like the sun hanging high in the sky, nearly catching the attention of all beings in the Dongyuan Realm.
Today, someone set foot in that forbidden zone that no being had entered since Ancient Times.
Chu Zheng's breath grew heavy, as he felt a pressure looming above the plane of life itself, similar to the awe he felt when he, as a mortal, first encountered an Immortal Path Cultivator.
Only, the pressure he felt now was a thousandfold, no, a millionfold more intense than before!
Ninth Order, the ranks within the Immortal Path of Immortal Venerable and Immortal King, and within the Martial Path of the Great Saint—Zhao Tingxian had just recently stepped into this realm.
"The Holy Domain, it's the aura of the Holy Domain!"
Yan Bi was brimming with uncontrollable excitement, his eyes blazing bright, his body trembling lightly, unable to suppress the surging emotions.
This barrier that had trapped countless beings of Dongyuan Realm for millions of years was finally crossed by Shan Xun today, proving that even at the current pinnacle of Dongyuan Realm, there truly was a way forward.
"Could it really be a success?" Disbelief colored Wan Qiong's face. From Shan Xun, he sensed a terrifying aura far surpassing that of the Beast Emperor, beyond his comprehension.
Without a doubt, anyone capable of this was undoubtedly from the real Holy Domain!
The moment Shan Xun made her Breakthrough Realm, the White Tiger of the Wan Clan's ancestral lands groggily opened its eyes.
It let out a low growl, its six-colored cloud wings fluttered lightly, stirring up gales of the Laws, slowly getting to its feet, its resplendent golden pupils looking off in the direction where Shan Xun was.
After hesitating for a moment, as if grasping something, a hint of fear flashed in its eyes. It slowly retreated, heading towards the depths of the Thirteen Wastelands.
Many Beast Kings gathered around it were full of questions, approaching with puzzled expressions.
But the White Tiger evidently had no intention of explaining. The Beast Kings that drew near were struck by its wings, suffering severe injuries and spilling blood across the sky.
The colossal White Tiger, riding the waves of blood, ascended skyward, fleeing toward the deep reaches of the Thirteen Wastelands, as if running for its life.
...
...
The dense Moonlight condensed into yarn and fell upon Shan Xun's shoulder.
Having stepped into a whole new realm of Cultivation, her appearance had once again transformed, now appearing to be just over twenty, with three thousand strands of hair like a cascading waterfall, skin fairer than snow, exquisite features that were peerlessly delicate, and limpid eyes clear as crystal, with brilliant divine light dancing deep within them.
Under the bright moon, she stood out of thin air, like an ethereal goddess descending to the mortal realm, overlooking all creation with an untouchable, noble grace.
Despite having crossed an insurmountable barrier never before crossed by anyone, Shan Xun's face showed not the slightest hint of joy; she looked stunned, gazing upwards with a somewhat vacant look in her eyes.
The six full moons in the sky, obscured by heavy clouds at some unknown time, were not even visible to the outstretched hand.
Rumble——
The muffled thunder rolled through the dark clouds, lightning flashes illuminated the wilderness, whitening Shan Xun's face like snow.
Standing outside the Array, Chu Zheng felt an icy chill in his heart, as if being stared down by an unseen gaze that prevented him from making the slightest movement.
This gaze was filled with terrifying Heavenly might that even prevented him from harboring any thoughts of resistance.
He had never felt this way in the presence of Zhao Tingxian or the now Shan Xun!
The once dormant Heavenly Fate seemed to be fully awakened, entering an unprecedented active state, causing Chu Zheng's heart to tremble violently.
The slumbering Heavenly Dao was thoroughly roused by Shan Xun's breakthrough!
This reaction from the Heavenly Dao of Dongyuan Realm was distinct from the subtle flow of Heavenly Fate before—now, the Heavenly Fate was almost in a full boil.
With a mere perception, Chu Zheng could detect a murderous and irritable mood emanating from Heavenly Fate.
Boom!
Thunderous light streaked across the sky, revealing Shan Xun's pale face, as interwoven lightning formed a Heavenly Lock, cascading down from the clouds, entering Shan Xun's body, piercing through her flesh, and shackling her Primordial Spirit.
A look of despair flashed across Shan Xun's eyes. In an instant, the chains of the Heavenly Dao had sealed all her lethal Divine Skills. At that moment, she had no strength to mount any counterattack.
Heaven had decreed her death.
As the entity nurturing all life within this realm, the Heavenly Dao wielded absolute killing authority: Taking life was Heaven's Mandate, the living had no right to refuse.
Lightning patterns interwove and in a blink, condensed into a Heaven Punishment Execution Sword. The sword, aimed straight at the seat of consciousness within Shan Xun's Primordial Spirit, sealed by the Heavenly chains, seethed with murderous intent.
Monstrous beings often incited the jealousy of Heaven and rarely met good ends.
Shan Xun drew upon the Array's power to forcibly cross the forbidden zone, invoking the Heaven's wrath upon her; without death, it would not appease Heaven's rage.
Yan Bi and Wan Qiong, standing by, were also subdued by the Heavenly might, unable to move even a finger.
"Shan Xun, how can we possibly help you?" Yan Bi clenched his teeth and spoke, his gaze fixed on the Heaven Punishment Execution Sword, a visible flame of resentment burning in his eyes.
Such was the might of Heaven.
Shan Xun shook her head gently, looked up to the sky, her eyes tranquil. In these few moments, she had come to accept her impending death.
All her long plans had come to naught in the end.
"Heavenly spirits above, all venerable ancestors of the Human Race, by your sacred and insightful judgment, the daughter of the Shan Clan, Xun, without any extraordinary achievements, without having bestowed any great benefits upon the Human Race, living a mediocre life; at this moment, with her broken body, she devoutly prays for your holy protection. May the Supreme Deity grant blessings, guard our Human Race's auspicious spirit from scattering..."
As Shan Xun whispered, her Primordial Spirit began to dissolve on its own, radiating boundless divine light.
Wan Qiong and Yan Bi quickly realized Shan Xun's intention, their expressions changing abruptly.
