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

Yet in that instant, a burst of intensely radiant light erupted from Xue Susu, shattering the crimson glow that wrapped around her bit by bit.

In a swift glimmer, a stone sword stained with blood materialized.

Xue Susu’s gaze sparkled sharply, and with a sweep of her arm, the stone sword began to carve slowly across this realm, free from any worldly essence,

Chila!

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

Right then, the scarlet light cloaking Zhao Sheng and Wu Yue also fragmented.

Wen Shifei stumbled back, a profound slash running from his scalp down to his toes, giving the impression he was almost cleaved apart.

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

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

Zhao Sheng experienced a swirling vertigo, and upon steadying his vision, he realized he had been hurled outside abruptly.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue appeared equally stunned.

But Xue Susu had vanished completely.

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

“Stop!”

Wen Shifei’s face paled, and he yelled fiercely, summoning a murky red cauldron over his head that gleamed with crystalline arcane glow. This vessel felt immensely weighty, as though it could pin down space-time itself, clearly a supreme artifact.

The cauldron launched forward independently, intercepting the stone sword’s blade.

A deafening boom resounded!

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

The instant after, with a snap, the murky red cauldron exploded into innumerable shards, plummeting rapidly to crash into the earth, carving out colossal impact pits stretching for hundreds of miles!

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

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

Upon hearing him, a flicker lit Xue Susu’s eyes, and abruptly, a vibrant, multicolored mushroom sprouted on her shoulder. It bore clear traits like brows, eyes, and a mouth, its wide eyes winking furiously, fixed intently on Wen Shifei.

“Ah, Extreme Emotion Immortal Mushroom! This is… disastrous!” Wen Shifei shrieked in dread at the sight of this vivid 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, that primordial relic, originated from the 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, count on me.”

The Extreme Emotion Immortal Mushroom cheekily extended its tongue, gathering its glowing essence, weaving countless sparkling and brilliant “bubbles” into a hazy stream that rushed at Wen Shifei.

Wen Shifei yearned to escape, but a quick scan of his surroundings made him abandon flight, remaining rooted submissively.

In a blink, the torrent of extreme emotion struck Wen Shifei, morphing into an illusion that seeped into his frame.

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

“Ah!”

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

The very next moment, the cry cut off sharply!

Wen Shifei blurred forward, materializing next to Xue Susu, gazing at her with a blank visage, 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 never should have bowed to the Alien Demon, and certainly not bartered with the master’s life. 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 wave of annihilating force.

Seeing it, Wen Shifei exhaled deeply, seeming to accept his fate, though his look stayed wooden and frosty, appearing oddly eerie.

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

…

As Zhao Sheng and Wu Yue shared a look, a rift abruptly ripped nearby, from which two silhouettes emerged, following one behind the other.

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

Then, he couldn’t resist eyeing Wen Shifei close by, a spark of alarm in his gaze.

Zhao Sheng soared up too, staring in surprise at Xue Susu and Wen Shifei, sensing an odd shift.

Just then, Wen Shifei tilted his head skyward and declared suddenly, “This one’s presence vanished briefly earlier, and it’s now been sensed by the Tribulation Demon overseeing this star—I must return to Human Species City without delay. All of you, depart this area fast. We’ll reconnect soon after.”

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

Xue Susu observed the rapidly glooming heavens plunge into inky darkness, her expression shifting faintly, and commanded at once, “Use the Ten Directions Earth Tunneling Talisman now, make haste and evacuate!”

As she spoke, a veil of subdued ochre mystic glow emerged from her, coalescing into a clump of amber light that dove into the dense soil beneath in a streak.
