128: Chapter 128 Holy Light Judgment

Shadow Sealing Chains were beneath Wang Sheng's feet, and Shadow Spirit Runes pinned him in place, but in his fury, golden Holy Light surged violently within the Shadow Sealing Chains, burning with the most scorching and violent flames.

The power of his five wives surged in simultaneously through their marital link.

Moonlight White—the power of Shen Xun'er's Moonlight Priestess—flowed in from his chest like a gentle river of moonlight; the silver-white light found its most gentle home within the golden Holy Light.

Frost Blue—the power of Frost Mage Lin Shiyun's Frost Mage—flowed in from his left arm like a scorching warm current beneath an icy surface; the ice-blue light condensed within the golden Holy Light, transforming into the purest warmth.

Nature Green—the power of Su Mengyao's Nature Druid—flowed in from his right arm like the eternal spring of the Spirit Garden; the emerald-green light unfurled within the golden Holy Light, blooming into the most resilient flowers.

Spirit Sound Silver—the power of Zhao Linger's Spirit Sound Master—flowed in from his back, where clear musical strings played a melodious tune within the spiritual energy; the silver light echoed within the golden Holy Light, striking the most resolute resonance.

Holy Knight Gold—the power of Murong Xue's Holy Light Knight—flowed in from his shoulders like the sharp light on the tip of a silver spear; the white-gold light shone within the golden Holy Light, revealing the sharpest of edges.

These five powers were like five scorching rivers, slowly converging into the golden sun within his body.

The golden Holy Light erupted in his fury, and with the support of his five wives' powers, his Savage General Rank 1 spiritual energy broke through the constraints of the Shadow Sealing Chains.

Golden radiance gushed out from between his clenched fists, his fingers, and his hair, burning with the most scorching and violent flames.

"Holy Light... Purify!"

He clenched his fists within the Shadow Sealing Chains, and golden Holy Light gushed out from between them.

With the support of his five wives' powers, his Savage General Rank 1 spiritual energy transformed into a scorching light of purification.

The Shadow Sealing Chains gradually melted and collapsed under the purification of the Holy Light.

The dark purple chains dissolved in the golden Holy Light like ice under the sun, and the Shadow Spirit Runes retreated from the cracks in the ground.

But there was nowhere to escape in the sun's scorching light; the dark purple spiderweb crumbled inch by inch under the purification of the golden Holy Light, turning into fine dust that drifted through the air of the Chamber of Inheritance.

The moment the Shadow Sealing Chains collapsed, Wang Sheng surged upward.

Holy Light Slash: Second Stage—two golden arcs of light slashed out in a cross.

But this time, the golden arcs of light were brighter and more intense than ever before, as if the light of a sun tempered by rage had exploded within the Chamber of Inheritance.

Wherever the golden arcs of light passed, the Shadow spiritual energy retreated and dissipated; the golden runes of the Chamber of Inheritance lit up again in the wake of the Holy Light Slash, illuminating every corner that had never been touched by light.

The first arc of light swept across the two Shadow Clan warriors in the forefront; the Holy Light Slash, unleashed at full power by a Savage General Rank 1 and boosted by his fury, cleaved their Shadow barrier wide open.

The Shadow Clan warriors' robes were sliced open by the sharpest edge of the Holy Light Slash.

The Shadow barrier melted and collapsed before the Holy Light, and the two Shadow Clan warriors were shattered by the shockwave of the Holy Light Slash.

Their Shadow spiritual energy was completely purified within the golden Holy Light.

The second arc of light struck directly at the leading Shadow Clan warrior.

The golden arc of light was like a rising sun within the Chamber of Inheritance, and with Wang Sheng's enhancement, the Holy Light Slash forced the Shadow spiritual energy back.

The leading Shadow Clan warrior tried to block with his Shadow dagger, but the power of the golden arc of light far exceeded his expectations.

Boosted by the power of his five wives, the terrifying attack of the Holy Light Slash sent him flying.

"Savage General Rank 1—impossible!" the leading Shadow Clan warrior shouted, his face full of terror.

"You hurt the person I am meant to protect." Wang Sheng's voice sounded like black iron scorched by a raging fire.

The golden light in his brown eyes was like two miniature suns, burning scorching hot before the Shadow. "Do you think this is the end?"

Holy Light Judgment.

A new skill of the Savage General Rank 1 awakened in his fury, doubling damage against the Shadow element.

A golden pillar of light gushed out from Wang Sheng's right fist.

The immense spiritual energy transformed into a scorching light of purification within the Holy Light Judgment, the beam striking directly at the leading Shadow Clan warrior.

The golden pillar of light was like a sun rising from beneath the earth within the Chamber of Inheritance.

The golden light illuminated every sun rune on the dome of the Chamber of Inheritance; it was the golden dawn of the Savage Continent blooming underground.

The leading Shadow Clan warrior's Shadow spiritual energy retreated and dissipated before the Holy Light Judgment.

His Shadow barrier melted and collapsed within the golden pillar of light, and his Shadow dagger shattered in the shockwave of the Holy Light Judgment, instantly turning into fine powder.

With the bonus of doubled damage against the Shadow element, Wang Sheng's Holy Light Judgment...

...completely purified his Shadow spiritual energy, and the dark purple vertical pupils gradually extinguished in the golden light.

"Lord Ying Wuyue will..."

The leading Shadow Clan warrior's voice came to an abrupt end within the golden pillar of the Holy Light Judgment.

His Shadow robe dissipated in the golden light, and his body turned into fine dust, drifting through the air of the Chamber of Inheritance.

The golden pillar of light slowly dissipated after the leading Shadow Clan warrior was purified.

But the aftermath of the Holy Light Judgment lingered in the Chamber of Inheritance like the residual warmth of the sun, lasting for several seconds before completely fading away.

The golden afterglow illuminated every sun rune on the dome of the Chamber of Inheritance, lasting for a long three seconds.

After their leader was purified, the remaining four Shadow Clan warriors panicked like puppets with their strings cut.

Xiao Yuqing unleashed a volley of spiritual arrows from the flank that pierced their throats, and Zhao Linger's Spirit Sound Technique acted like a precise sonic scalpel, cutting through their Shadow spiritual energy circuits.

But the remaining Shadow Clan warriors on the periphery did not choose to fight to the end; they vanished into the shadows like cunning snakes and fled the ruins.

The Shadow Clan ambush was repelled, and the Chamber of Inheritance was once again enveloped in golden light.

After the Shadow Clan warriors dissipated, the golden runes lit up again with a sun-like gold.

The sun runes on the dome shone with scorching light like a real sun, illuminating every inch of the stone walls in the Chamber of Inheritance that had been eroded by the Shadow.

Golden light flowed through the air of the Chamber of Inheritance, a gentle radiance that dispelled the cold, shadowy haze.

Wang Sheng rushed to Liu Ruyan's side.

She was leaning against the stone wall of the Chamber of Inheritance; her night-traveling outfit was torn at the right shoulder by Shadow spiritual energy, and the dark purple fabric was ripped open from the shoulder.

It revealed skin beneath her right shoulder that was as fair and delicate as fine white porcelain; a Shadow burn extended from her right shoulder to her upper arm.

Blood seeped from the Shadow burn, like a poignant red flower blooming on white porcelain.

The tear in her night-traveling outfit extended from her right shoulder all the way down to below her collarbone.

It exposed a large expanse of snow-white skin and the full, firm curve beneath her collarbone.

The dark purple marks of the Shadow burn snaked down her fair skin, passing over her milky-white, ample breasts beneath her collarbone, and then extending along the inner side of her upper arm.

Her watery eyes looked at him, devoid of fear or pain, filled only with boundless love.

"I'm fine." Her voice was as soft as smoke drifting through the shadows. "Fortunately, I had your passive Holy Light protection; it's just a superficial wound."

But Wang Sheng saw that the dark purple marks of the Shadow burn were spreading along her right arm.

It was Shadow Residue, exactly the same as Murong Xue's Shadow Residue, but deeper than Murong Xue's.

The dark purple marks snaked along her porcelain-fair right arm, leaving behind what looked like faint kiss marks.

"Shadow Residue." He crouched down and placed his hands over Liu Ruyan's right shoulder, covering the Shadow burn with the golden radiance of the Light Healing Technique.

But the Shadow Residue struggled within the golden light of the Light Healing Technique like stubborn Shadow maggots; it was harder to purify than Murong Xue's.

The dark purple marks became even clearer in the golden Holy Light, revealing snake-like patterns that refused to recede even in the gentle light of the Light Healing Technique.

He increased his spiritual energy output, and the surging spiritual power poured into Liu Ruyan's right arm like a golden tide.

The Shadow Residue was gradually purified, and the dark purple marks faded in the golden Holy Light, as if the darkness were being evaporated under the sun.

Liu Ruyan's body tensed when the Shadow Residue was purified, and she bit her lip tightly, not making a single sound.

But Wang Sheng saw the tears in her watery eyes, shimmering like clear dewdrops in the golden Holy Light.

"Tell me if it hurts." His voice dropped half a tone, and he covered the Shadow burn on her right shoulder with gentle golden light.

He looked at the snake-like marks left by the Shadow burn on the fair skin of her right shoulder, the dark purple traces gradually fading in the golden radiance of the Light Healing Technique.

But he knew that the faint scar would remain on her skin, like a tiny crack on white porcelain.

It would forever remind him of his anger and heartache at that moment when she stood in front of him and he could do nothing.

"It doesn't hurt." Her voice was soft, but the corners of her mouth curved up like a faint yet warm crescent moon.

After the Shadow Residue was completely purified by the Light Healing Technique, Wang Sheng's spiritual energy was exhausted.

The consumption from the embryonic Light Wing Flight, combined with the Holy Light purification of the Shadow Sealing Chains, and the Holy Light Judgment...

...left his body feeling as drained as an empty skin.

There was less than thirty percent of his spiritual energy left in his body, like a golden river reduced to the shallowest of streams in a dry season.

But he did not sit down; he crouched in front of Liu Ruyan, looking at the faint scar left on her right shoulder after the Shadow burn.

The crack snaked down her porcelain-fair skin, like a stroke of a brush on a perfect piece of white porcelain that made one's heart ache.

"Let's go." He crouched down with his back to Liu Ruyan. "I'll carry you out."

"I can walk."

"I'll carry you." His voice was firm and brooked no refusal.

Liu Ruyan looked at his back, as if, for the first time, she saw the light that truly belonged to her amidst the shadows.

Since transmigrating, she had always stood in the shadows, in corners where no one could see her, standing in Wang Sheng's shadow to protect him.

But at this moment, that back opened up to her; the Savage Beast skin vest, in the golden light of the Chamber of Inheritance, seemed like the most steady mountain ridge of the Savage Continent.

His shoulders were broad and warm, like a solid harbor; the light she had guarded in the shadows for so long had finally turned to illuminate her in return.

She did not refuse again; her hands gently wrapped around his neck, and her body leaned against his back, her waist, as slender as a willow branch, pressed against his Savage Beast skin vest.

The scar of the Shadow burn on her right shoulder gently brushed against his shoulder through her torn night-traveling outfit.

The gentle touch left a warm temperature on the Savage Beast skin.

Her full, firm curves pressed against his spine under the constraints of her night-traveling outfit.

The soft flower had finally found the most secure branch on the back of the light.

Her breath exhaled gently against his ear, warm and soft.

Every breath caused her body to rise and fall slightly on Wang Sheng's back, soft waves finding a peaceful resting place in the warm ocean of light.

In the Shadow relics of the Chamber of Inheritance, Zhao Linger found a Shadow Clan token.

The token was inscribed with Shadow characters, and after she translated them using the Spirit Sound Technique, her expression changed abruptly, her large, round eyes filled with gravity.

"Wang Sheng, this token says that Zhao Mang has signed a contract with the Shadow Clan, trading the lives of all the women in the Bright Tribe in exchange for the Shadow Clan's support."

Her voice echoed in the Chamber of Inheritance like an urgent alarm.

"Ying Wuyue is waiting for Zhao Mang to make his move."

"Once Zhao Mang launches a full-scale attack on the Bright Tribe, Ying Wuyue will personally..."

She took a deep breath, her large, round eyes surging with unprecedented gravity.

"...come personally... to obtain the ancient inheritance."
