I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

54: Only by defying the heavens throughout one’s life can one change the fate of humanity!Xiao Qinger walked up to Nalan Ming, looking down at him. She did not strike again. The hatred in her heart had completely vanished, and although she could tell that Nalan Ming had repented, her expression remained cold.

If it were before, she might have saved him, but after experiencing several life-and-death situations, she would not.

At the same time, she took out an old marriage contract, ignited it with Spiritual Power, and let it drift into the air, gradually turning into ashes.

”Good...” Nalan Ming’s dimmed eyes reflected the flames, and he spoke with all his remaining strength.

”We are both free...”

Nalan Ming’s life completely dissipated; he was dead beyond dead.

Xiao Qinger stared at his corpse, her expression dazed, as if she had returned to that day when Nalan Ming had swaggered over to cancel the engagement. For a moment, she felt as if she had let go of something, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

”Some people are always like this, only repenting when they reach a dead end. Is regret useful then?”

”They don’t deserve sympathy!”

The Female Yan Emperor sneered within her Divine Soul, her expression mocking, as if she saw the shadows of certain people in Nalan Ming.

She knew that although the personalities of most Supreme Experts of the Human Race differed, their goal was consistent: Slaying Yao!

But inevitably, there were those who were afraid of death. This was human nature. The higher the Realm, the more afraid they were of dying, even hiding behind others, only knowing how to scheme against their own people, yet calling it leaving behind a Spark for a Prairie Fire, retreating further and further with every fight!

Especially when such people held high positions, it was a form of despair!

It was precisely this continuous retreat that led to the extinction of the mortal Dynasties of the Human Race, leaving only Great Xia!

The root cause?

Wasn’t it because no one could completely suppress and terrify these pests?

No one could command them!

But was retreat useful?

It was nothing but self-deception.

If someone could utterly dominate the Human Race, where no one dared to disobey a single command, things wouldn’t be so terrible—at the very least, if they couldn’t win, they should shatter the opponent’s teeth!

Had it not been for this, why would she have ventured alone into the Heavenly Demon Realm, trying to change the war situation by herself, and why would she have perished?

But she did not regret it!

Although she failed to become the person who turned the tide, she firmly believed that such a person would appear.

The Female Yan Emperor’s Golden Eyes shifted to Shen Nian.

”I once thought Xiao Qinger was that variable and hope, but now it seems only you have that possibility...”

”Only by living a Heaven-Defying life can one change the fate of the Human Race!”

”If he truly is a member of the Shen Family, then he... must not turn out like that person...”

Thinking of this, the Female Yan Emperor showed an extremely worried expression.

Xiao Qinger was somewhat confused. Why was the Female Yan Emperor suddenly getting angry? She could feel that chill even through her Soul.

”It’s nothing, just recalling some unpleasant memories,” the Female Yan Emperor explained.

”Oh, Lord Female Yan Emperor, after feeling like something was missing in my heart, I faintly sensed signs of a Breakthrough...” Xiao Qinger felt the Spiritual Power in her Dantian growing thicker, as if she could erect two more Spiritual Foundations, which was a sign of entering the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

The Foundation Establishment Stage is actually about introducing the Spiritual Power from the Acupoints into the Spiritual Sea, circulating it throughout the body, and then opening the Sea of Consciousness to gain Spiritual Sense. Only Perfect Foundation Establishment requires building a Spiritual Foundation and erecting a Dao Platform within the Spiritual Sea. The Realm is not calculated based on Spiritual Power Acupoints, but by the number of Dao Platforms: two platforms for Middle Stage, three for Late Stage, six for Perfection, followed by Shattering the Dao Foundation and condensing the Golden Core.

Only Perfect Foundation Establishment allows for the condensation of a Divine Grade Golden Core; this is law.

Of course, Shen Nian is an exception.

”Mhm, it should be because the Medicinal Pills from the Demon Suppression Division and the power of the Yao Core given by your Senior Brother have not been completely digested in your body. Coupled with the fact that you exerted power beyond your Realm during that life-and-death battle, a Breakthrough is normal.”

”Don’t rush the Breakthrough yet. You can try setting up another Dao Foundation in the Dragon Transformation Pool.”

The Female Yan Emperor said indifferently, but her expression quickly changed slightly.

Huh?

Why does This Emperor think this is normal?

Didn’t she just Break through?

How long has it been? A day?

And she’s telling her to Break through again?

Oh no!

That kid has warped my perception.

”Okay!” Xiao Qinger nodded slightly in response, feeling no excitement at all. Having witnessed the Breakthrough speed of a Prodigy, she only felt that she was very, very weak.

She needed to continue working hard!

At this moment.

The crowd in front of the Martial Temple looked at this scene, somewhat baffled.

”Nalan Ming and Senior Sister Qinger once had a marriage contract, set for three years...” Xia Youyue slowly explained, her gaze fixed on the White-robed Figure standing quietly.

The Disciples of the Martial Temple were mostly older Martial Artists, and they nodded upon hearing this.

”So that’s how it is.”

”No wonder Lord Shen acted that way.”

”Exactly! Cultivation is all about Achieving Mental Clarity, right? And what could be more satisfying than shattering the humiliation of the past?”

”That’s true, but I feel like something is a bit strange,” said the middle-aged man who had previously saved the Demon Suppression Division and Martial Temple Disciples, his expression odd.

Did she shatter it herself?

With a Big Shot standing right there, how would Nalan Ming dare to fight back? His guts were scared out of him.

Although he admitted that Xiao Qinger was a Prodigy for recovering her Cultivation Base and establishing her Foundation Establishment in such a short time, and possessing outstanding Combat Power.

But it shouldn’t have been enough to reduce Nalan Ming to that state.

Yuan Hong glanced at him and casually asked, ”Just tell me, is the thought clear or not?”

”Uh... Clear!”

”It’s definitely clear!” the middle-aged man said, scratching his head and smiling.

Beside them, Xia Youyue looked at Xiao Qinger, her expression calm, but she felt a strange, unpleasant feeling in her heart.

Immediately, she looked at the quietly standing White-robed Figure and thought, ”Senior Brother must have done this for Senior Sister Qinger too.”

At this time, Shen Nian was listening to the System rewards.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for unlocking Daughter of Destiny Xiao Qinger’s major life Achievement, ”Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not bully a poor youth.” The three-year pact has been fulfilled, and Xiao Qinger’s knot has been untied.]

[Reward preaching value: 200 points (50 points previously issued have been retracted)]

[Achievement Reward: One drop of chaos essence blood]

[Remaining preaching value: 200 points]

”You really don’t miss a thing, huh?” Shen Nian was slightly displeased, having thought he could freeload an extra 50 points of preaching value.

But then again, gaining a drop of chaos essence blood was pretty good.

This thing seems very useful!

Shen Nian felt his body heat up, and his chest stung fiercely. The mysterious Profound Silver Mark reappeared, but this time it seemed to have grown slightly longer.

The fact that his Physical Body Strength still felt pain was extremely terrifying.

Simultaneously, the two drops of Silver Essence Blood inside his body fused together, turning into one larger drop of chaos essence blood, suspended above the vast Golden Spiritual Sea, suppressing everything.

His Divine Thought swept over it.

”This thing looks a bit like a Tattoo...”

”But I can’t clearly see what it’s a pattern of...” Shen Nian pondered, then suddenly had a wild idea.

This wouldn’t be a Great Might Heavenly Dragon, would it?

No, no, no!

It shouldn’t be. Isn’t the Great Might Heavenly Dragon related to the Buddhist Sect? How could it be connected to Chaos... I hope not!

Shen Nian certainly didn’t want to have to rip off his shirt every time he fought; that would be truly embarrassing.

Yue Qingguang, who had been playing dead on the ground, felt his pupils contract slightly.

At such a close distance, when that wisp of chaos essence blood aura dispersed, his Soul went numb.

”What kind of aura is this...”

”It’s even more terrifying than the Magical Artifact condensed by Senior Brother!”

”Damn it, who exactly is he? When did Great Xia produce such a Prodigy!”

”This person is not right; there is Great Terror!”

”No!”

”Must escape!”

Yue Qingguang, who was still Charging a Big Move, planning to ambush Shen Nian when he was unprepared, completely abandoned that idea.

The next second.

A foot stepped directly onto his face. The voice was calm, yet it caused Yue Qingguang to show unprecedented terror and disbelief.

”Tell me, why do you have the aura of the Yao Race on you?”
