Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 970: Chapter 970: Love and Devotion Like Blossoming Fireworks

”That is the Nine-Turned Soul Pill. It not only contains the memories of its past life but also the methods to perform various innate divine skills. As long as the Divine Pill returns to the body, it won’t take long for it to become as powerful as it once was. Otherwise, it will have to slowly comprehend those innate divine skills, which is a hundred times more difficult than us trying to comprehend the Sword Dao,” Xia Youchen said.

”Then, if we were to obtain this Nine-Turned Divine Soul Pill, would there be any benefits? Could we also inherit the divine beast’s memories and innate divine skills?” Although he wasn’t quite sure of the old man’s identity, Nian Yao greatly admired his knowledge of divine beasts and continued to ask.

At the same time, he had another idea in mind: if this divine beast’s Divine Pill returned to its body, it would be impossible for him to tame and subdue it, so he must stop it. If he could also inherit the divine beast’s memories and innate divine skills from the Nine-Turned Soul Pill, it would be the best of both worlds.

”If you don’t want to die, you can give it a try. This Soul Pill was refined by the divine beast at its deathbed, sacrificing its entire cultivation through the Nine Revolutions and Nine Destructions. The power within is something you can’t possibly imagine. Even putting aside its power, do you think your Divine Soul Thought could even withstand its memories, let alone its innate divine skills... You might use it if you were reincarnated as a beast,” Xia Youchen said irritably, while moving a few steps away to keep his distance.

Given his experience, how could he not see what Nian An Yao was planning? Inwardly, he cursed: barely saved his life, yet audaciously scheming for the divine beast, and even daring to covet the divine beast’s Nine-Turned Soul Pill! If you want to die, go right ahead, but don’t drag me down with you.

”Uh...” After being thoroughly scolded by Xia Youchen, Nian An Yao didn’t dare to have any more designs on the divine beast’s Soul Pill.

The surrounding area was still dead silent. Everyone was watching the divine beast attempting to reclaim the Nine-Turned Soul Pill, not daring to take a deep breath.

Suddenly, the Soul Pill started trembling violently, cracks appeared on its surface, and dazzling light shot out from within, so intense it was almost impossible to keep one’s eyes open.

”This isn’t good. That witch’s evil technique previously harmed the divine beast’s spiritual wisdom. Though it has regained clarity, it can’t suppress the power of the Nine-Turned Soul Pill. Without its suppression, the Divine Pill will soon shatter on its own,” Xia Youchen said in alarm.

”And what will happen then?” Nian An Yao asked instinctively.

Immediately, he knew what was going to happen.

With a crisp cracking sound, the entire Nine-Turned Soul Pill shattered, and with blinding rays of light came a surging force like a tsunami and a storm, enveloping them and imposing an unmatched divine beast’s pressure.

In front of the divine beast, a granite slab taller than a person immediately turned to dust, scattering as if it were never stone, just a pile of flour.

Then, countless ferocious beast shadows charged out from the blinding light.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. Feeling the intense killing intent, everyone’s minds went blank, as if they traveled through time and space back to the Primordial Era hundreds of thousands to millions of years ago, to the legendary ancient battlefield where divine demon beast spirits fought for dominance.

They seemed to feel the tremble of the earth and hear the roar of ten thousand beasts. Their bodies, even their souls, trembled under the iron hoofs of the charging beasts.

So grand, yet so tragic.

Mu Hanyan finally understood why no master who ventured into the Ancient Relics over hundreds of thousands of years had ever come out alive. It was not because the divine beasts in Nirvana were so powerful, but because the power contained in the Nine-Turned Soul Pill was too overwhelming.

This was more than just the divine beast’s own Divine Soul Thought; it even included countless other powerful exotic beasts and divine beasts’ divine souls.

Though sensing the powerful pressure of those beastly shadows, Mu Hanyan felt no resentment. If she guessed correctly, these powerful exotic beasts or divine beasts sacrificed their lives willingly, offering their divine souls to guard and accompany the divine beast for its Nirvana Rebirth.

It was a king, she had guessed right earlier. Even among divine beasts, it was a king-level existence.

Watching those mighty beast shadows charging forward with pounding iron hoofs, Mu Hanyan knew they were unlikely to escape this calamity. Even those Holy-grade masters were helpless against these divine beast shadows that resembled an army of thousands, let alone her now.

”Young master!” Zirong and the others looked ashen, wanting to rush forward to save her, yet under the overwhelming force, they couldn’t even move a finger, let alone save someone.

Moreover, with their strength, even if they could move, charging ahead would be akin to courting death.

Nian An Yao and the others also looked ashen, not because of Mu Hanyan, but because of themselves. These countless beast shadows would trample over them, and Mu Hanyan would certainly die, but could they survive?

Nian An Yao’s lips trembled, cursing himself bitterly. Had he known this would be the outcome, why did he come to stir up the trouble? He initially thought that by destroying the Beast Spirit Pearl, even if Mu Hanyan got the biggest benefit and escaped certain death, at least he would have saved his own life, which wouldn’t be a total loss.

Little did he know, he would still face an inevitable death in the end.

Just when everyone thought Mu Hanyan was doomed, and they would soon follow, a slender and graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

”Lan Feng.” Mu Hanyan exclaimed in joy.

At the critical moment, who else could be by her side but Ye Lanfeng.

However, after exclaiming those two words joyfully, Mu Hanyan’s smile quickly froze on her face.

Ye Lanfeng’s complexion didn’t look good at all, it was pale. Although he still maintained his usual carefree smile, his eyes showed exhaustion. Clearly, he had paid a huge price to reseal the spatial rift. Even if uninjured, he was utterly fatigued, with his Primordial Energy severely depleted.

Why did he come here at such a time? Mu Hanyan knew well that hiding within the rift was the safest and wisest choice for Ye Lanfeng at this moment. Yet, here he was, just as before, standing by her side at the most dangerous, crucial time.

Mu Hanyan’s eyes moistened. She wouldn’t leave Ye Lanfeng behind, and similarly, Ye Lanfeng would not leave her to face danger alone. This mutual sentiment exploded in her heart like a splendid firework. Meeting you has been the greatest fortune of my life.

”That... piece of Beast Armor, infuse... Qi.” Ye Lanfeng’s condition was clearly worse than Mu Hanyan had imagined. After uttering these words, sweat beaded on his forehead as he quickly swallowed an elixir.

His voice was low and somewhat indistinct, but Mu Hanyan immediately understood. He was referring to the piece of Beast Armor that Family Head Fang gave her before they set off.
