Volume 11, Chapter 731 – Come, Completely Feminize Me (Part 1)

“How do you know I can’t recover?”

Qi Huang flared up in anger. She no longer cared whether she broke through or not. The last traces of her Divine Sense surged out of her body, forming a thick protective barrier around her. At the same time, she summoned from her spatial ring the batch of ghost tomatoes she had just acquired and, without the slightest hesitation, crushed them into juice and poured it all over her head.

“You certainly came well-prepared.”

The Severed Immortal Sect Leader spoke in a mocking, sing-song tone.

“Thank you for the compliment. My Divine Sense can recover, can your Heaven-Deceiving Water return once it has been lost?”

Qi Huang retorted with biting sarcasm.

“How do you know it can’t?”

The Sect Leader’s voice rang out loud and firm. He spread his arms, and droplets of water gathered from every direction, converging upon him and falling onto his body.

“This is… Heaven-Deceiving Water?”

Qi Huang stared in disbelief. She could not comprehend how this man could be so heaven-defying. After merging with his flesh and being destroyed by her, the Heaven-Deceiving Water could still be summoned back again.

“Surprised? Astonished? My Yang energy is not some lowly force like water spiritual energy. When cultivated to its extreme, it not only gives birth to all things but can also regenerate all things. As long as I am within my Immortal War Domain, it is eternal and indestructible, even the King of Hell cannot dictate otherwise!”

The Sect Leader declared with wild arrogance. As the Heaven-Deceiving Water cascaded down, his figure vanished once again from Qi Huang’s Divine Sense.

“How can he be this troublesome?”

Qi Huang ground her teeth in hatred. At last, she understood: at this level, no opponent could be dealt with easily. Just like Zhen Feiyan, and just like this Severed Immortal Sect Leader before her.

“Too bad. Even with ghost tomatoes, your recovery is too slow. To restore your Divine Sense at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm cannot be done in a short time. This Sect Leader will not give you the chance.”

The Sect Leader stretched his muscles, his foot smashing the ground with a thunderous crack before disappearing from sight.

Qi Huang’s Divine Sense was completely depleted. Without restoring at least eighty to ninety percent, she could not possibly handle this enemy. The only protection she had left was the Divine Sense barrier outside her body. She was not foolish enough to stand still as a punching bag. Instead, she directed what little Divine Sense she had just recovered to propel her body swiftly away, fleeing into the distance to buy time.

The Sect Leader missed his strike but clung to her like a dogskin plaster.

Qi Huang had barely regained any Divine Sense, and so in the short term, there was no way to shake him off.

“Hahaha! With my Immortal War Domain, I have endless stamina. Every trace of Divine Sense you recover, I will drain in equal measure. Let’s see how many ghost tomatoes you truly have!”

The Sect Leader laughed wildly, eyes blazing with the lustful light of a debauched scoundrel sizing up a respectable woman.

Qi Huang’s heart grew heavier. At this rate, her Divine Sense would never accumulate.

And then, disaster struck again. From within her Sea of Consciousness, her Essence Soul reported: “Big brother, my lower body has already begun showing female traits, you don’t have much time left.”

“Shut up! Even if it changes, so what? I will never give up.”

Qi Huang roared in fury.

“So? Still unwilling to give up? You have one last chance, accept my assimilation.”

And Cheng Ling’s voice echoed untimely within her mind.

“Don’t daydream. He has to catch me first.”

Qi Huang shot back stubbornly, fleeing southwest. Her goal was to return to the Pingshan Mass Burial Ground of the Western Radiance Dynasty. With Zhen Feiyan as backup, the Sect Leader would have to think twice.

“What now? Off to seek reinforcements?”

The Sect Leader sneered wickedly. “From what I know, that neither-male-nor-female Essence Soul of yours is still inside your Sea of Consciousness, isn’t it?”

“Neither male nor female?”

Qi Huang shuddered violently. She had not expected him to know even this private matter. Did that mean he knew all her secrets?

“Hahaha! Little lamb, I wonder, can your resistance alone withstand this Sect Leader’s killing intent?”

Without further talk, the Sect Leader released his terrifying killing intent. It erupted like an army of thousands charging forth, surging toward Qi Huang. The overwhelming might was like that of a real battlefield, blotting out the heavens.

Qi Huang’s heart seized. Never had she encountered killing intent of such magnitude, and she knew she could not withstand it head-on.

‘What do I do?’

Qi Huang scanned frantically around. Her gaze fell upon the spatial ring containing her main body. At the critical moment, she slipped inside, leaving the onrushing killing intent to crash upon nothing.

The Sect Leader reached her position only to see a spatial ring enveloped by a Divine Sense barrier.

“Hmph! Hiding inside, do you think that helps?”

Annoyed, he struck with a fist upon the barrier, sending ripples across its surface.

Inside the spatial ring, Qi Huang saw Cheng Hongling sitting cross-legged. Her main body’s face was pale as paper, clothes torn and ragged, limbs slightly twisted. She exuded a pitiful fragility that tugged at the heart. Though disheveled, she looked far better than before.

Indeed, under the effect of the Heaven-Mending Crystal, Cheng Hongling had finally suppressed the shard lodged in her heart.

“Don’t be so selfish. Even if you won’t think for yourself, at least think for the main body. Without her, you and your family would have perished long ago at the hands of fiends. Could you have lived this life otherwise? Do you not owe her that much?”

Cheng Ling’s voice whispered once more in Qi Huang’s mind.

‘Yes… one must repay kindness. And I cannot bear for her to fall into the enemy’s hands again.’

At those words, Qi Huang’s expression cleared of hesitation.

Cheng Hongling noticed her and quickly asked, “How is it? If we really can’t hold on, let’s surrender and see what he wants.”

“Surrender? I’ve said before: anyone who harms you will pay the price.”

Qi Huang’s eyes blazed with determination as she dove resolutely into the main body’s Sea of Consciousness.

“What are you doing?”

Rеad оո КаtReаԁiոɡCαfe

Cheng Hongling sensed ill-omen. She hurriedly directed her Life Soul into the Sea of Consciousness.

Qi Huang now stood before Cheng Ling and asked in a low voice, “Tell me your plan.”

“So you’ve finally thought it through?”

Cheng Ling’s lips curved in a seductive smile. “My plan is simple. Summon me back into the Sea of Consciousness. Let me assimilate your Essence Soul. Once you become a subject of a foreign Heavenly Dao’s assimilation, the Heaven-Deceiving Water will never again block your Divine Sense.”

“Don’t listen to her! This woman harbors ill intent, you know that!”

Cheng Hongling rushed to stop her.

Qi Huang remained unmoved. “I understand the reasoning. But where is the time? Outside, I have only one layer of Divine Sense protection left, and it won’t last long.”

“You still have dozens of spatial rings, don’t you? They are hard as steel. Even with his strength, it will take him a while to break through. That time is enough for you to return to peak state.”

Cheng Ling explained patiently.

Qi Huang pondered. It did sound like a solid plan.

“What are you thinking? If she assimilates you, she’ll seize your body. You’ll be a homeless Life Soul, quickly dissipating into nothing.”

Cheng Hongling warned anxiously.

“See? She cares for you this much. And you, do you not care for her at all?”

Cheng Ling goaded her.

“Silence!”

Cheng Hongling erupted in fury and slapped Cheng Ling hard.

“Heh!”

Reaⅾ оո КatReаⅾiոɡCαfе

Cheng Ling only smiled, unfazed, mocking, “To strike your own soul for the sake of an outsider, I can’t tell if she’s the mad one, or you are!”

Crack!

A sharp sound came from outside. Qi Huang knew it was the Divine Sense barrier around the spatial ring breaking.

She could not hesitate any longer. Her Divine Sense emerged, unlocking the soul-binding chains on Cheng Ling.

“What are you doing?”

Cheng Hongling cried in horror, rushing forward to stop her.

Qi Huang’s Divine Sense wrapped around both herself and Cheng Ling, forming a shield as they walked toward the great hall doors.

“I told you before, you were destined to be assimilated by me. Had you accepted it earlier, you wouldn’t be in such a miserable state now.”

Cheng Ling stretched her limbs with satisfaction.

“Stop them!”

Cheng Hongling called desperately to the other souls.

The others, realizing the gravity of the matter, rushed to block them. But they were powerless against Qi Huang’s Divine Sense.

Qi Huang carried Cheng Ling to the doors of the hall. She turned back for one last look at Cheng Hongling, her face full of reluctance. Her lips moved, as though to speak, but in the end, no words came.

“Nooo!!!”

Cheng Hongling sobbed, lunging forward, her hands clawing weakly at the Divine Sense shield. Her helpless struggle was a pitiful sight, so unlike her usual self.

Qi Huang shut her eyes in agony, then pushed the doors open and stepped outside with Cheng Ling.
