Chapter 401

“Mother…”

Purple Gold Holy Son hurriedly flew over, and upon seeing his mother’s completely unrecognizable swollen face, he was left speechless, his eyes filled with rage.

“Father…”

“Shut up!”

Patriarch Dongfang bellowed, startling the Purple Gold Holy Son into immediate silence.

“Today marks Li’s grand wedding, and I would rather avoid shedding blood. Patriarch Dongfang, how about this—let your son come out. Under the condition that neither of us uses any treasures or interferes, if he can withstand a strike from my wife, Lady Shangguan Xue, without harm, then let our grievances be settled here. What do you say?”

At this moment, Li Su’s voice echoed through the scene.

“Li Su, are you serious about this?”

Lord Thunder Sword was the first to speak as soon as Li Su finished speaking.

Lord Thunder Sword’s reaction was also very quick. Although Li Su’s strength shocked him, Li Su’s words gave him hope.

Seeing that Li Su was so defiant, Lord Thunder Sword no longer wanted to become enemies with Li Su. It would be great if we could resolve the grudges.

“Truly,” Li Su responded decisively.

“East Origin, what do you say?”

Lord Thunder Sword turned to Patriarch Dongfang, his voice carrying a hint of pressure. He was afraid that Patriarch Dongfang might feel humiliated or furious due to Li Su publicly slapping the woman’s face to resemble that of a pig’s head.

“I agree,” Patriarch Dongfang replied.

Ancestor Dongfang remained highly cautious of Li Su’s prowess. While he believed he could defeat Li Su, he was currently undergoing his second decline in a challenging period and almost failed to block an attack due to the haste of the moment.

Li Su’s rapid progression through the Heavenly Declines signified a heightened potential and value. Many sacred places might go to great lengths to please Li Su this time. Despite enduring the torment of the five Heavenly Declines, Ancestor Dongfang was still remarkably clear-headed.

“Dongfang Yue, what about you?” Lord Thunder Sword inquired, shifting attention to Purple Gold Holy Son. Despite his intense anger, the Holy Son confidently asserted his capability, though he warned about the possibility of unintentionally hurting someone.

This individual was genuinely self-assured in his abilities, considering himself comparable with Spiritual Roots. Moreover, his mother’s formidable dark magic accelerated his growth significantly, making it a boon for him.

Showing restraint and intelligence, he refrained from provoking or berating Li Su, understanding Lord Thunder Sword’s intentions.

“Shall we begin, Li Su?” Lord Thunder Sword proposed, to which Li Su agreed, stepping aside. The Purple Gold Holy Son, prepared in the sky, was also ready for the confrontation.

“Miss Dongfang Xue, you can move now,” Lord Thunder Sword instructed. Dongfang Xue swiftly appeared beside Li Su, surprising Ancestor Dongfang.

“Merge!” Lord Thunder Sword exclaimed as the sect leader achieved fusion surprisingly quickly. The Purple Gold Holy Son’s attainment of the pinnacle of the Refinement Realm was remarkable, and Lord Thunder Sword suspected the Holy Son’s mother might employ special methods.

The sect leader’s foundation was damaged before, but now she has surpassed the Purple Gold Holy Son and achieved fusion!

Even she reached fusion!

Not only was Lord Thunder Sword astonished, but Lord Feng Tian and Lord Dong Xuan, along with a lord from the Temple of the Heavenly Gods, were greatly surprised once again.

Especially Lord Feng Tian. The last time she saw the sect leader, the sect leader was still in the early stages of the Refinement Realm.

Now, she was already at fusion!

It had only been a few hundred years!

It was simply unbelievable!

“She has reached fusion!”

“What? Dongfang Xue is just a little over a thousand years old, and she’s already at fusion!”

“My goodness, is this so terrifying? I’ve never heard of Spiritual Roots progressing this quickly before!”

“…”

Not only were several lords surprised, but among the cultivators attending Li Su’s wedding, some Refinement cultivators also sensed the Sect Master’s changed aura.

This time, Li Su didn’t ask the Sect Master to conceal it anymore. He didn’t hide it anymore.

Since even the Ancestor Dongfang had come, revealing one’s cultivation base was natural. Anyway, Li Su could continue to undergo tribulations with one or two more significant rewards. His rate of growth would always exceed others’ imagination.

By the time the Demon Saint Palace devised a new plan to deal with Li Su, he would have already reached the strength of the second calamity or even the third calamity of the Heavenly Human Realm. The words of those Refinement cultivators quickly caused a stir among many surrounding cultivators.

Watching the Sect Master approaching the Nascent Soul realm so rapidly, each of these cultivators looked at the Sect Master with astonished eyes. Since their levels were not there yet, they hadn’t realized where the astounding aspect lay.

However, some Nascent Soul cultivators had already noticed. It was just that these Nascent Soul cultivators were still in a state of shock and hadn’t had the time to spread the news yet.

At this moment, the sect leader instantly became the center of attention for many cultivators. For her, it was an extremely glorious moment.

Across from the sect leader, the Purple-Golden Holy Son’s expression drastically changed upon sensing the formidable aura emanating from the sect leader.

He never expected that the sect leader had reached the state of ‘fusion.’ What astonished him even more was yet to come.
