After Changing Her Fate, the Vicious Female Villain and the Protagonist Got an HE! - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Great Battle

Wen Shurong spoke cautiously: “We only know that this person fears the Xuan Yuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao, has been trying to evade it, and rarely takes action personally. As for other weaknesses, we don’t know.”

Su Tianyue slowly shook her head: “The Heavenly Dao is indeed his nemesis, but we cannot interfere. What I want to say is not this. Have the two Fellow Daoists ever heard of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire?”

Qin Niyun nodded: “The legendary exotic fire that can burn down all things, of course, we’ve heard of it. However, according to the ancient texts of the sect, it seems that no one has ever seen the Red Lotus Karmic Fire since ancient times.”

Su Tianyue explained in detail: “After making the Awakening Demon Sword recognize me as its master, I learned some secret matters. Among them, there happened to be a record about the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. This fire exists in the unseen, usually invisible to the naked eye, and is closely related to the Phoenix Heavenly Fire. Fellow Daoist Qin, you possess the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body and are the person most likely to be recognized as its master by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.”

The Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body is possessed by only Qin Niyun in the Xuan Yuan Realm. Legend has it that possessing this spirit body means having a trace of the Phoenix bloodline.

Therefore, Su Tianyue’s speculation was not without reason.

However, Qin Niyun was not optimistic in her heart.

“The Red Lotus Karmic Fire has never been seen by anyone for thousands of years. Even if we know this fire can deal with Zhou Kong, where should we look for it?”

Su Tianyue did not answer directly but asked a question.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, do you know that the potential of the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body has not been fully activated so far?”

Qin Niyun frowned slightly: “What does Fellow Daoist Su mean by this?”

Su Tianyue waved her sleeve and took out the Awakening Demon Sword, controlling it with her divine sense to hover in the air.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, you can try to sense this sword with your divine sense. You will know the reason then.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Shurong immediately became alert. However, observing Su Tianyue’s calm expression, she did not seem to be setting a trap.

She looked intently at her Senior Sister. Qin Niyun seemed to sense it and turned to look back.

Their gazes met in the air. Her Senior Sister’s eyes held a reassuring smile, which made her feel much more at ease.

Qin Niyun instinctively felt that Su Tianyue had no ill intentions, so she did as instructed.

In the next instant, some unfamiliar information suddenly appeared in her Sea of Consciousness.

It turned out that as long as the full potential of the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body was activated, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire would appear at the appropriate time and recognize her as its master, so there was no need to deliberately search for it.

The related information also disclosed the specific method to achieve this and the weakness of the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body.

In fact, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire was not only Zhou Kong’s nemesis but could also destroy the Awakening Demon Sword.

The original intention of the sword’s previous owner in leaving the relevant information was to make the person who took over the Demon Sword beware of cultivators with the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body and eliminate the hidden danger in advance.

However, Su Tianyue never had this intention. Instead, she completely told Qin Niyun everything.

Now, observing the change in the girl in white’s expression, she opened her mouth with a smile: “Does Fellow Daoist Qin understand now?”

Qin Niyun nodded, her expression slightly solemn: “Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Su.”

Su Tianyue still had a smile on her face: “Helping Fellow Daoist Qin is also helping myself. After all, Zhou Kong is our common enemy. If this fiend is not eliminated, the Xuan Yuan Realm will never know peace.”

In terms of hatred, Su Tianyue’s hatred for Zhou Kong was no less than that of Qin Niyun and Wen Shurong.

Back then, it was because her resentment was extremely heavy that only half of her soul entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The remaining half, supported by hatred, found the current reincarnation body.

Because the consciousnesses were independently separate, the souls were difficult to integrate, making her a person with a unified body but dual souls.

In her situation, the difficulty of successfully cultivating to ascension was actually extremely high.

And all of this was caused by Zhou Kong’s destruction of the Canghai Realm.

If it weren’t for this fiend, with her cultivation talent in her previous life, she originally had hope of ascending. At that time, her life was happy. She had intimate friends and many good relationships with fellow disciples, as well as kind and amiable elders in the sect.

Su Tianyue recalled the past. Even after countless years, she still felt heartache.

These two in front of her were also her fellow disciples in her previous life. Unfortunately, in this life, they ultimately embarked on different paths.

She had already cultivated the Demonic Dao. Even if they eliminated the enemy in the future, they would no longer be as intimate as in their previous life, where they talked about everything.

After a while, she withdrew her complicated thoughts and said seriously: “Guluo City is now under my control. If the two Fellow Daoists are at ease, you can temporarily stay here. Once Fellow Daoist Qin manages to completely activate the potential of the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body and is recognized as the master of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the three of us will join forces to deal with the powerful enemy.”

Qin Niyun did not answer immediately but first transmitted a message to inquire about her Junior Sister’s opinion.

A response quickly came from the Sea of Consciousness: “As long as activating the potential causes no harm to Senior Sister’s body, I agree.”

Hearing this, Qin Niyun showed a trace of a smile on her face, looked at Su Tianyue, and nodded in agreement.

Su Tianyue led the two to the City Lord’s Mansion.

From this day on, Qin Niyun began secluded cultivation.

Outside the secret chamber, Wen Shurong stood beside Su Tianyue, maintaining a certain distance from her, and brought up a matter.

“I plan to inform my Master of what I learned today through a transmission. Does Fellow Daoist Su mind?”

Su Tianyue smiled freely: “Of course not. The full activation of the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body’s potential cannot be achieved in a moment. The spell casting process is incredibly complex. Informing them earlier can also prevent the elder from worrying.”

Upon receiving her consent, Wen Shurong waved her sleeve and took out a specialized transmission talisman. After whispering a few words, the talisman instantly turned into a streak of light and flew toward the horizon.

Before long, another talisman flew from a distance.

Wen Shurong reached out and took it. Yue Lan’s message immediately sounded.

“Disciple, I have informed the Sect Master of the situation you mentioned. To prevent the recurrence of the spatial rift pouring down Demonic Qi, the Sect Master has used a Spatial Spiritual Treasure to seal the sect’s station. Since Guluo City is currently safe, you and Martial Niece Qin can stay there at ease. If there is any unusual movement in the sect in the future, I will try to contact you.”

After the transmission ended, the talisman automatically dissipated into ash.

Beside her, Su Tianyue spoke at an appropriate time: “I have always heard that the Lingxiao Sect possesses a Spatial Spiritual Treasure that can seal heaven and earth, but no one outside has ever seen it. I thought this was just a rumor, but I didn’t expect it to be true. With such a treasure, the Lingxiao Sect can definitely be preserved in the demon calamity.”

Wen Shurong had a different view on this.

“Maintaining the operation of this treasure probably requires a considerable price. Otherwise, it would have been used since the day we learned of the Taiyi Sect’s annihilation, which would have been even safer.”

Su Tianyue pondered: “That makes sense. However, the Lingxiao Sect has more than twenty Mahayana cultivators. No matter how much spiritual power the Spatial Spiritual Treasure consumes to operate, as long as it is within the scope that cultivators can utilize, with the combined power of more than twenty Mahayana cultivators, the cost should not be a major problem.”

Wen Shurong sighed softly: “I hope so.”

Inside the secret chamber, Qin Niyun’s mind was immersed in the secret technique cultivation at this moment. As time passed, a phoenix phantom emerged from her body, gradually solidifying.

Around the phoenix, a layer of crimson flames burned fiercely.

The temperature in the secret chamber sharply increased, but Qin Niyun felt no discomfort while being in it.

The flames that could instantly turn ordinary beings into ashes did not cause her any harm.

The secret technique cultivation lasted for a full ten days.

At noon on the tenth day, the full potential of the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body was finally successfully activated.

It was also at this instant that an invisible fluctuation suddenly appeared in the space around the secret chamber.

A blossom of ominously colored Karmic Fire slowly emerged in front of her.

Qin Niyun extended her fair, slender right hand. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire landed in her palm and instantly disappeared.

This was the sign of the exotic fire recognizing its master. The Karmic Fire could naturally hide in the unseen. From now on, as long as summoned by its master, it would appear at any time to deal with the enemy.

Before long, the secret chamber door slowly opened from the inside.

Wen Shurong, who had been guarding outside, saw her Senior Sister emerge and rushed to the girl in white in three steps, asking softly: “Senior Sister, how did it go?”

Qin Niyun’s face was full of smiles: “Everything went smoothly.”

Receiving this answer, the heavy stone in Wen Shurong’s heart finally dropped.

“In that case, we can confront the enemy head-on the next time we encounter them.”

The two embraced for a moment and then walked away together.

These days, Su Tianyue had been trying to eliminate the puppets under Zhou Kong’s command. Her actions were swift and clean, leaving no trace.

Previously, with the aid of the two Spirit Pearls, Wen Shurong and Qin Niyun had severed the Karma Entanglement Technique. Zhou Kong could not sense anything related to them.

Therefore, although he knew his puppets were being continuously lost, he could never find the identity of the person taking action.

To uncover the truth, Zhou Kong did not hesitate to take a risk and re-entered the Xuan Yuan Realm from the void.

The moment he moved, Luo Hua, the Sect Master of the Lingxiao Sect, locked onto his position through the tracking secret technique. At the opportune moment, she struck from afar, delivering a thunderous blow.

Zhou Kong, caught off guard, was severely wounded.

His seized body subsequently shattered. Now, only his soul form returned to the void.

On this day, Qin Niyun, Wen Shurong, and Su Tianyue converged. Before long, they received a transmission from the sect, informing them of Zhou Kong’s injury.

Not only that, but Luo Hua also taught the Enemy Tracking Secret Technique to the two.

Currently, to deal with Zhou Kong, only one difficulty needs to be overcome: shattering the void.

Through the secret technique’s sensing, they knew that Zhou Kong, after being injured, immediately fled into the void and remained hidden.

Now was the time when the fiend was at his weakest. If they did not seize this opportunity to eliminate him, he would be even harder to deal with in the future.

However, a cultivator who has not yet become an immortal fundamentally does not possess the ability to shatter the void.

Zhou Kong could do this because he had devoured the World Origin Power of the Canghai Realm and assimilated with it, making him essentially no longer a true human.

The three gathered to discuss countermeasures.

Su Tianyue said in a deep voice: “We now have two choices. One is to find a way to break open the void. The second is to find a way to lure Zhou Kong back into the Xuan Yuan Realm. Both methods are extremely difficult.”

The former goes without saying. As for the latter, Zhou Kong knew his weakness and would not easily fall for a trick.

Wen Shurong spoke cautiously: “Senior Sister, Fellow Daoist Su, do you think the Heavenly Dao of a realm… possesses independent consciousness?”

Su Tianyue seemed not to have expected her to ask this and was momentarily stunned.

Qin Niyun, on the other hand, hesitated: “This question… no cultivator in this realm probably knows the answer.”

Wen Shurong stated her own view.

“Everyone’s innate Destiny levels are different. I once wondered what criteria the Heavenly Dao uses to bestow Destiny upon all living beings. Assuming the Heavenly Dao really has consciousness, is it possible to find a way to communicate with it, inform it of Zhou Kong’s matter, and ask for its assistance to allow us to go to the void?”

Su Tianyue had recovered at this time. Hearing this, she found it incredible.

“The Heavenly Dao… can be communicated with?”

It was not surprising that she was astonished. All living beings in a realm are under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao could be communicated with, then even a small fraction of its favor would bring boundless benefits.

Unlike Su Tianyue’s reaction, Qin Niyun showed no surprise. Instead, she seriously contemplated her Junior Sister’s words.

After a while, she mused: “Perhaps… it can be attempted.”

Her own Destiny was immense, and she had a vague premonition that this matter had a certain feasibility, but it was difficult to achieve with her alone.

Thinking of this, she looked at the girl in green and added: “Junior Sister, later, you and I will sit in meditation, clear our minds, and enter a state of meditation.”

“Alright.”

Wen Shurong did not hesitate and agreed.

Su Tianyue was still incredulous, but she ultimately did not say anything to obstruct them.

Although she found the action somewhat absurd, a glimmer of hope was held deep in her heart.

If it truly succeeded, dealing with Zhou Kong would be effortless.

Half a zhǎncha later…

Wen Shurong and Qin Niyun sat cross-legged facing each other. Their fingers were in the Nianhua Mudra, each resting on their knees, and they simultaneously entered a state of meditation.

Su Tianyue leaned on one side of the stone wall, her hand on her hip, watching with curiosity.

After a long time, she let out a slight yǐ sound. Then, as if she realized something, she quickly covered her mouth, afraid that she would make a sound and disturb the two.

At this moment, both Wen Shurong and Qin Niyun were enveloped in a layer of ethereal spiritual light, isolating them from external senses.

Their consciousnesses collectively entered an unnamed space. The surroundings were a white expanse, and nothing could be seen clearly.

A moment later, a streak of seven-colored brilliant light suddenly flashed in front, attracting their attention.

Wen Shurong was focused on observing. At this moment, a warmth not her own came from her palm.

Her Senior Sister held her right hand. Their fingers were intertwined.

Their gazes then met in the air. Everything was conveyed without words.

The Senior and Junior Sisters walked side-by-side, slowly approaching the place where the seven-colored brilliant light appeared.

Upon drawing near, they saw an ancient stone stele emanating an ancient aura, carved with three characters: Boundary Breaking Stele.

The moment they saw this object, a sacred sound rang out in their ears.

“Hold this treasure, and you can break open the void and eliminate the enemy. When you return to the Xuan Yuan Realm, the Boundary Breaking Stele will automatically return to its place.”

Hearing this, Wen Shurong and Qin Niyun simultaneously bowed in gratitude.

In the next instant, the Boundary Breaking Stele turned into a streak of light and flew to the front of them.

At the same time, the two emerged from the state of meditation, their consciousnesses returning to reality.

The Boundary Breaking Stele hovered in the air, its seven-colored light flowing continuously.

Su Tianyue stared at the scene before her, dumbfounded.

“It actually… succeeded?”

Following the shock was joy.

With the treasure in hand, Wen Shurong explained the situation to Su Tianyue. She immediately joined forces with her Senior Sister to cast the spell, activating the Boundary Breaking Stele.

A moment later, a force that could reverse heaven and earth emerged from the treasure. The surrounding void shattered with a roar at this moment.

The three’s escape lights abruptly rose. Following the guidance of the secret technique, they landed in the void and quickly locked onto Zhou Kong’s position.

Qin Niyun summoned the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Wen Shurong sealed the surroundings with the zither music. Su Tianyue slashed with the Awakening Demon Sword.

The Boundary Breaking Steving also shone brightly at this time. Sacred power instantly descended.

Under the multiple combined attacks, Zhou Kong had nowhere to hide. Filled with unwillingness, he was burned to ashes by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire…
