Chapter 1673

The Cultivation's metamorphosis was blocked, and the strange energy inside Shang Hongxue's body began to erupt, wanting to directly break through Chen Chuyang's Protector, also wanting to give him a bit of a show, letting him overestimate himself and try to suppress the Cultivation breakthrough.

Om— The terrifying energy was ten times more terrifying than before, and this eruption was directly aimed at Chen Chuyang; that energy purposefully struck his body, wanting to directly break through his body and kill him on the spot.

What a pity, she was wrong; she didn't realize she was facing Chen Chuyang, who possessed mid-seventh-layer cultivation of the Hunyuan Dao Scripture. Facing this power, he had no need to fear, and indeed, in his eyes this counterattack was merely a slightly stronger resistance, not… a big deal.

"Hmph, still wanting to resist under my Protector, plotting to kill me? Naive, do you think I don't know of your existence?"

"I've long been on guard against you; for the Cultivation to break through the third level, it must ask me, and I won't agree—no one can break through."

Shang Hongxue is his wife, his lawfully wedded wife; wanting to use her body to break through the Cultivation is impossible—anyone who harbors designs on her body is Chen Chuyang's enemy.

Flipping his hand, Protector— that energy was directly condensed by Chen Chuyang into a ball, then swallowed in one gulp, becoming food for Hunyuan true qi; this move directly caused the strange thing inside Shang Hongxue's body to pause for a moment, then began to brew a stronger resistance, wanting to directly shatter Shang Hongxue's Protector.

The Cultivation's metamorphosis and breakthrough cannot be stopped.

The two sides' standoff, the clash of two forces—Chen Chuyang fully sealed Shang Hongxue's body; her true qi was all sealed, suppressed, and any true qi not hers was completely devoured by Hunyuan true qi; those true qi, those energies, facing Hunyuan true qi, could only be devoured and could do nothing.

At this very moment, the presence inside her body still wanted to resist, wanting to continue controlling Shang Hongxue's body to undergo metamorphosis; Chen Chuyang tightly pressed down on Shang Hongxue with Protector, her body unable to move, unable to rise or stand, unable to do anything.

All that was needed was to force her out; Chen Chuyang's Spiritual Sense sealed every corner of Shang Hongxue's body, having locked onto her final location, found her, and compelled her to emerge; that strangeness came from a soul within her body, and as the Cultivation metamorphosed, upon reaching the third level, a different soul appeared inside Shang Hongxue's body—one that did not belong to her.

It was merely a breath; no one knows when it existed, or rather, if the Cultivation does not break through the third level, this soul will not appear, will not appear—this is why Heishanyang so fears the Cultivation, and why the Cultivation cannot continuously awaken and metamorphose: once the Cultivation metamorphoses, each metamorphosis activates some power within the body, thereby taking over this body.

Chen Chuyang had earlier noticed the strangeness in Shang Hongxue's body and had been watching it; therefore, at the first moment, he immediately located the exact position, and under the encirclement of Hunyuan true qi, those true qi had no power to resist and were completely devoured; the breakthrough of the third-level Cultivation was also suppressed in place, unable to break through or retreat.

If Chen Chuyang weren't worried about harming Shang Hongxue's body, he might have already struck to annihilate that soul—why waste words here?

"Come out already, hmph, it seems you haven't reached your limit yet; if so, then how about this?" Chen Chuyang felt a chill in his heart, manipulating Hunyuan true qi to wrap around his heart; deep in his heart, Hunyuan true qi… seeped in, locating that soul's whereabouts.

"Found you."

That soul quickly condensed into a humanoid form, a weak silhouette, hardly different from Shang Hongxue; Chen Chuyang knew this was not Shang Hongxue's soul, but rather that soul's deliberate act.

This was to confuse Chen Chuyang, so he wouldn't dare to act—but in his eyes, this trick was useless.

Chen Chuyang stared at the woman's soul before him, gave a cold smile: "Do you think this will make me wary of you? You're already surrounded by me; you can do nothing."

Chen Chuyang gave a cold snort, warning that soul: "Now, get out, or else I don't mind killing you."

That soul stared dully at Chen Chuyang, its gaze growing ever colder.

After staring at Chen Chuyang for a moment, that soul seemed to regain a bit of reason and said: "Kid, do you know what you're doing? Dare to ruin my plan—do you want to die?"

The woman's soul power erupted, overwhelming Chen Chuyang's soul power, attempting to directly destroy his soul.

Soul attack, shaking Chen Chuyang's soul; he curled the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully, "Soul attack—is that all you've got?"

"If that's all, then you can go die."

Such a level of soul attack was, to Chen Chuyang, nothing more than a tickle, causing no harm; before his vast soul, this soul was like an ant compared to the sun and moon—utterly incomparable.

This soul attack couldn't even raise a ripple; the idea of killing Chen Chuyang's soul is laughable.

"Hmph."

The woman's soul reached out, attacking Chen Chuyang; within the heart, soul power condensed, forming a huge hand that lunged to seize him.

Chen Chuyang's soul lifted its head, gave a cold snort: "Hmph."

"Shatter."

As his voice rang out, the palm shattered.

Chen Chuyang then immediately raised a finger, thrusting it into that soul.

"Pfft—"

A huge hole tore open in the woman's soul's form, her entire chest ripped open, with no resistance—the gap between them was too vast.

The woman lowered her head in disbelief, looking at her chest; for a moment she was somewhat shocked.

"Kid, you dare?" the woman opened her mouth, coldly staring at Chen Chuyang.

"Hehehe, what do you say? Report your name—why invade my wife's body, why seek to control it?" Chen Chuyang's killing intent flared; any move by this woman would be met with immediate death.

Shang Hongxue is his reverse scale; anyone who touches her even slightly must be killed.

"Kid, you're arrogant; I, the Seat, have remembered you." The woman did not reveal her origin, but fixed her gaze on Chen Chuyang; her eyes seemed to want to kill Xu Junbai countless times, each glance giving a tearing sensation.

"Looks like you want to die; then I'll grant you." Chen Chuyang wasted no words, acting again—he clenched his palm, and the woman's soul instantly shattered.

Inside the heart, all strangeness vanished, and Shang Hongxue's bodily strangeness faded with it; the metamorphosis of the third-level Cultivation continued.
