238: Chapter 238 Breaking Through the Great Ascension! Tearing Apart the Void Realm

Taixuan Sect, closed-door cultivation chamber.

The walls, cast from ten-thousand-year profound gold stone, had the suppression Formation runes inscribed upon them, which were now dimming inch by inch; the stone walls themselves even began to show fine cracks, with dust falling down in rustles.

The Spiritual Qi radiating from Ye Qingyao's body had already turned into golden air waves visible to the naked eye, sweeping outward.

This force pierced through the chamber, shook the mountains, and finally slammed into the Mountain Protection Grand Array that shrouded the entire Sect.

"Hum—!"

A dull, thunderous roar like an ancient bronze bell came from above the Nine Heavens, echoing across every inch of the Taixuan Sect.

The cyan light screen, usually hidden in the Void Realm and only manifesting when defending against external enemies, appeared uncontrollably at this moment, countless profound runes flowing frantically upon it, flickering as it emitted groans of being unable to bear the burden.

At the mountain gate, an Inner Sect Disciple responsible for guarding felt the ground beneath his feet tremble violently and looked up in horror, just in time to see the heavenly light screen that had guarded the Sect for ten thousand years fluctuating violently like the surface of water.

His face turned pale, and he could barely hold the long sword in his hand.

"The Mountain Protection Grand Array... The array has triggered itself! What is going on?"

"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack! Quick! Sound the alarm, inform the Elders!"

Panic spread rapidly among the Disciples.

In an instant, the entire Taixuan Sect was in an uproar; countless streams of light shot up from various Immortal Caves and halls, the brilliance of Magic Treasures weaving together, and everyone assumed a battle stance, scanning every inch of the Void Realm outside the Sect with solemn expressions.

Deep within the Taixuan Sect, those ancestral Peak Forbidden Grounds that had not stirred for ten thousand years also sent out movements simultaneously.

Sealed stone doors were forced open from within by vast auras, and over a dozen figures walked out; they wore simple Dao robes, their auras as deep as the sea—they were the foundation of the Taixuan Sect, the dozen-plus Nascent Soul Ancestors who had been in deep seclusion.

Stepping out, they arrived above the Nine Heavens, their gazes like lightning, looking down at the violently shaking Mountain Protection Grand Array below, each of their faces filled with suspicion and fury.

"What kind of petty thief dares to violate my Taixuan Sect's mountain gate?" A white-haired Old Ancestor's voice sounded like thunder, his words containing fury enough to freeze a Divine Soul.

"To be able to shake the 'Nine Heavens Xuanqing Array' to this extent, the newcomer's cultivation must be heaven-defying; could it be that some titan of the Demonic Path has arrived in person?"

The Divine Senses of several Old Ancestors spread out like a flood, instantly covering the entire Sect and even the mountains and rivers for ten thousand miles around.

However, the outside was empty, with no trace of any enemy.

Finally, all their Divine Senses, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, locked simultaneously onto that most inconspicuous closed-door cultivation chamber located at the back of the mountain.

When they felt the pure, vast, and terrifying Spiritual Qi fluctuations emanating from that chamber, which even made their Primordial Spirits tremble, the dozen-plus old monsters who had lived for thousands of years all had their expressions change drastically.

"That is... the place where that girl Ye Qingyao is in closed-door cultivation?"

"Impossible! She was only at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul before entering seclusion; such pressure, such Spiritual Qi... This is absolutely not something a Nascent Soul Cultivator can possess!"

The Old Ancestors looked at each other, seeing extreme horror in each other's eyes.

They hesitated no longer; with a flicker of their figures, they crossed space and descended before the chamber door.

Just as they landed.

"Boom!"

That heavy stone door cast from profound gold stone, along with all the Restrictions and Formations upon it, did not shatter into pieces but instead annihilated into the finest dust amidst a brilliant golden light.

A slender figure walked slowly out of the light and dust.

Ye Qingyao was dressed in white, her body surrounded by visible golden Dao Rhyme.

Her cultivation aura was climbing frantically at a speed that completely defied common sense.

Middle Stage Nascent Soul... Late Stage Nascent Soul... Early Stage Soul Transformation!

In the very moment of breaking through to the Soul Transformation Realm, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth formed a huge vortex, pouring madly into her body.

Peak Soul Transformation!

Body Integration Stage!

Tribulation Transcendence Stage!

Mahayana Stage!

In just a few dozen breaths, her aura broke through all barriers and finally stopped at the Peak of the Mahayana Stage!

In an instant, the sky above the entire Taixuan Sect was rendered into a brilliant gold.

Endless auspicious clouds gathered from nothingness, the sound of the Great Dao resonated through the clouds, and golden lotus flowers containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth appeared out of thin air, drifting down from the sky and circling her side.

Such a phenomenon was heaven and earth celebrating the birth of a supreme powerhouse!

Those dozen-plus Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Taixuan Sect stood frozen in place, watching all this happen, their minds blank, not even realizing their jaws had dropped.

"Ma... Mahayana Stage?"

"Before she went into seclusion, I saw it with my own eyes; she was definitely at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul... This... what is going on?"

"Breaking through five Realms in dozens of breaths, directly entering the Mahayana Stage... What kind of monster is this? Even if an ancient Immortal Emperor were reincarnated and recultivating, they would definitely not have such terrifying speed!"

Fear stemmed from awe of the unknown and submission to absolute power.

They stood there, unable to even conjure a single thought of making a move.

In the entire Cangxuan Dao Domain, the Mahayana Stage Cultivators visible to the public could be counted on one hand, and each one was a living fossil that suppressed the Luck of a domain.

And this female Disciple, only twenty-something years old, had actually become one of them?

The Taixuan Sect Disciples below had long been shocked by this miraculous scene, prostrating themselves on the ground one after another, kowtowing and worshipping the figure bathed in golden light in the sky.

Ye Qingyao ignored everything around her.

She just quietly raised her head, those cold eyes piercing through space and the barrier of time, looking toward a certain direction in the depths of the turbulent time and space.

She could clearly sense that soul imprint she had been pursuing for one hundred thousand years.

Revered Master was right there.

Across the shore of a thousand years of time, waiting for her.

The obsession in her eyes burned to the extreme at this moment.

The Peak Mahayana Stage Spiritual Qi around her, which had just stabilized, boiled once more, even more violent than before.

She raised her slender jade hand, gathering all the power this world could bear, and lightly grabbed at the Void Realm in front of her.

"Revered Master, wait for me."

The voice was very soft, yet carried a supreme majesty that was Words Become Law, which heaven and earth could not resist.

This simple action made the souls of the dozen-plus Nascent Soul Ancestors take flight in terror.

"What is she doing?!"

"Tearing the Void Realm? No... that's not right! This power, she is forcibly trying to break through the barrier of time and space!"

"She's crazy! She's completely crazy! Forcibly interfering with time and space from a thousand years ago will trigger a backlash of chaotic time and space, and the entire Cangxuan Dao Domain will be erased by the power of Karma!"

The Old Ancestors could no longer care about fear; they forcibly suppressed their trembling Primordial Spirits and turned into several streams of light, rushing up in an attempt to stop this catastrophe.

"Ye Qingyao! Stop now! You are going to destroy the entire Dao Domain!"

"Let's talk! You must not act impulsively!"

However, they had just rushed to Ye Qingyao's side, not yet touching the hem of her clothes.

Ye Qingyao merely glanced back at them indifferently.

That look contained the supreme majesty of her previous life as an Empress overlooking all living beings, and was mixed with the Spiritual Qi pressure of a Peak Mahayana Stage Cultivator that was enough to crush a Divine Soul.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The figures of the dozen-plus Nascent Soul Ancestors stopped abruptly; they felt their Primordial Spirits being gripped by an invisible giant hand, almost about to be crushed.

Their Dharma power solidified, their Dao Hearts cracked, and they couldn't even move a single finger.

Ye Qingyao withdrew her gaze, ignoring these ants.

Her hand had already grasped the node of the Void Realm, and then she pulled hard.

"Screech—!"

A sound so piercing to the extreme, as if the heavens were wailing, resounded throughout the entire Cangxuan Dao Domain.

All Cultivators watched in horror as the sky above the Taixuan Sect was ripped open by an invisible force, creating a pitch-black crack a hundred feet long!

Inside that crack was not the starry sky, nor nothingness, but chaotic time and space to the extreme, enough to shred everything; they poured out like a violent wind, blowing the entire Taixuan Sect mountain gate, turning countless palaces and pavilions into fine powder.

Ye Qingyao looked at the crack, a touch of joy finally appearing in her cold eyes.

It worked!

As long as she passed through this time and space rift, she could return to the Blood Abyss Realm a thousand years ago, return to Revered Master's side!

She lifted her foot, intending to step into it.

But just then, an invisible yet indestructible barrier blocked her path.

That was the Law of time and space spanning a thousand years between the present and the past, the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao order, like an insurmountable chasm.

Ye Qingyao's brows furrowed slightly; she mobilized all her Spiritual Qi, turning it into a golden divine rainbow, and slammed fiercely into that invisible barrier.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

The time and space barrier only shook violently, but the power of the Law upon it remained stable, with no sign of breaking.

Ye Qingyao's expression darkened.

Just a little bit more!

If she had just a little more time, she would definitely be able to break this obstacle!

She stood before the rift, her Spiritual Qi surging time and time again, crazily impacting that time and space barrier.

In the entire Cangxuan Dao Domain, all the hidden old monsters were alarmed at this moment.

They cast their Divine Abilities one after another, casting their gazes toward the direction of the Taixuan Sect, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Taixuan Sect... since when did such a figure emerge?"

"Tearing time and space... where exactly does she want to go?"

...

Meanwhile, in the Blood Abyss Realm.

Su Changge was looking up at the sky.

That pitch-black rift, which had originally been only a sliver, was expanding and spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The indifference on his face had long since disappeared, and his expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

This rift was not caused by forces within the Blood Abyss Realm, but was forcibly torn open by an unimaginable, terrifying power from Outside the Realm!

The aura seeping out from the crack was grand, majestic, and carried a domineering air of ruling the world, several times stronger than the Remnant Soul of the Empress he had just dealt with.

Su Changge's heart sank little by little.

He had just sent away one Great Emperor's remnant soul, and in the blink of an eye, another one even fiercer arrived?

Did he poke a nest of Emperors?

He even felt his legs go a bit weak, and his steps moved backward subconsciously.

The Old Priest and the Four Princes also saw the anomaly in the sky, their faces pale with fright.

"What... what is that?"

"The sky... has the sky collapsed?"

Prince Jimie's voice was trembling, but when he looked at Su Changge's back, fanatical hope ignited in his eyes again.

Our King must have a way!

Our King is invincible!

Su Changge stood in place, his heart cold.

He subconsciously touched the warm heart of the realm in his arms, and then quickly glanced at the thirty million-plus emotion points on the System panel.

Exchange one second of the Sword Scripture?

It was enough... but he had just spent ten million, and now he had to do it again?

His heart was bleeding.

Just as he was rapidly calculating all escape strategies in his mind, the aura seeping out from the rift became clearer, and a fluctuation that was both strange and somewhat familiar quietly touched his Divine Soul.

Under Su Changge's tightly furrowed brows, a hint of confusion flashed.

This aura... why did it feel somewhat familiar?
