An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad-Chapter 226

Chapter 226

“What!? You want to imprint a seal onto my primordial spirit? You’ve got some nerve!” Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, a mix of mockery and fury appeared on Yu Yourong’s dignified and holy face. Her chest heaved violently in indignation.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

That scale ... truly lived up to the name “Yourong.” 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

“The sea accepts all rivers, and greatness lies in tolerance.”

However, this was merely her primordial spirit avatar, not her true body. Even so, her primordial spirit avatar, cultivated from her own willpower, retained such a figure. It was clear that Yu Yourong, this stunning beauty, was quite proud of her “scale” in that regard.

***

“Yang Chen, you’re truly audacious! Imprinting a seal onto my primordial spirit—wouldn’t that mean I’ll be under your control forever?”

Once a cultivator reached the Soul Transformation Realm, the importance of their primordial spirit became increasingly apparent. Even if the physical body was destroyed, as long as the primordial spirit existed, one’s existence would not be extinguished.

The higher the cultivator’s realm, the greater the importance of their primordial spirit. Imprinting a seal onto someone’s primordial spirit was a method of control.

If the seal was detonated, the primordial spirit, even if not entirely obliterated, would suffer severe injuries. Although this was merely a primordial spirit avatar, Yu Yourong would never agree to Yang Chen’s demand.

As the esteemed Holy Lord of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land and a peak Dao Dao Integration Realm powerhouse, her Dao heart was as firm as iron. She would rather die than allow her primordial spirit to fall under someone else’s control.

If that were to happen, her Dao heart would be damaged, and how could she hope to break through to higher realms in the future?

“It seems the Holy Lord is unwilling. In that case, I will have no choice but to forcibly suppress this primordial spirit avatar of yours! When the time comes, I can still imprint the seal!” Yang Chen spoke coldly.

He then formed seals with his hands. The black prison emitted a burst of dark light. The imprisoning and sealing power of the prison continued to intensify.

Countless ancient runic inscriptions transformed into chains, weaving back and forth. Yu Yourong could only dodge repeatedly to avoid being entangled by the chains. However, as the imprisoning power grew stronger, the strength of her primordial spirit steadily weakened.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take long before she was completely restrained by the chains. When that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Damn it!” Yu Yourong gritted her silver teeth.

Who would have thought that she, a peak Dao Integration Realm powerhouse, would fall into the hands of a mere junior?

She had been too careless earlier. Overconfident, she had broken through the barriers of Yang Chen’s Soul Palace and entered directly to imprint a soul seal.

Who could have imagined that this kid had such hidden means? Yu Yourong’s crystal-clear brows furrowed deeply.

Finally, a flash of determination and cold resolve appeared in her eyes.

If this brat didn’t know when to stop, then he would face her wrath.

Although unleashing this secret technique would injure her primordial spirit—possibly even shatter it—it was still better than being controlled by this little scoundrel.

Moreover, with the Nine Colored Poria, she might even seize the opportunity to break through her current limits and ascend further.

Yu Yourong’s radiant hands moved swiftly to form seals. A brilliant white divine radiance enveloped her, growing increasingly blinding.

Finally, the white radiance condensed into a holy phantom. The phantom appeared as though it existed in a primordial void. Its face was obscured, revealing only a solitary, proud figure standing tall.

Transcendent and peerless.

It was as though an immortal emperor had descended to the mortal world, a divine king born into existence.

All living beings seemed compelled to bow before it.

“Break for me!” With Yu Yourong’s low shout, the phantom rapidly expanded.

Within Yang Chen’s Soul Palace, it stood with its head reaching the heavens and feet planted firmly on the ground.

Chaotic energy seemed to flow around it, where the birth and destruction of all things unfolded.

Boom!

This time, the Heavenly Demon Soul Prison trembled violently. The once-solid demon pillars began to crack. From the phantom’s body, boundless divine light erupted, and a single punch struck the prison.

Bang!

Several of the demon pillars shattered instantly.

One side of the prison, which surrounded all six directions, was completely destroyed. The broken stone pillars and runes radiating dim light scattered throughout the Soul Palace.

The holy phantom, seemingly drained of energy, dissipated shortly afterward.

Yu Yourong’s face turned deathly pale, and her aura weakened drastically. After using this forbidden technique, she felt an overwhelming weakness deep within her primordial spirit, and faint cracks appeared on her arm.

These were signs that her primordial spirit was beginning to fracture. It would take at least a millennium of nurturing to restore her primordial spirit avatar to its former state.

“That damned junior! You’ve actually pushed me to this extent!” Yu Yourong gritted her teeth and directed her gaze at the Nine Colored Poria hovering above Yang Chen’s head.

With a flicker of her figure, she appeared directly in front of Yang Chen.

“Yang Chen, you insolent wretch! You even dared to think of imprinting a seal onto my primordial spirit? Hmph! If not for the fact that you still have some value to me, I would kill you right here and now! However, don’t think you’ll have an easy time in the future! This Nine Colored Poria, consider it the interest you owe!”

Yu Yourong spoke coldly, then reached out to take the Nine Colored Poria hovering above Yang Chen’s head.

Boom!

At that moment, the Nine Colored Poria suddenly emitted dazzling rays of light.

The multicolored light enveloped both Yang Chen and Yu Yourong, completely encasing them together. Moreover, their bodies were pressed tightly against each other, face-to-face.

Yang Chen immediately felt a startling sensation against his chest.

“Ah!”

The moment her primordial spirit came into contact with Yang Chen’s, Yu Yourong let out a soft gasp.

Yang Chen’s expression turned amused.

This beauty … was surprisingly sensitive.

Although it was only her primordial spirit, it was intrinsically connected to her physical body, mirroring all its sensations.

It wasn’t unusual. After all, she had been cultivating alone for ages.

If he calculated her age, this stunning woman had to be at least three or four thousand years old.

Tsk.

Three or four millennia of solitude—it was no wonder she was this sensitive. Understandable. Totally understandable.

“Damn it! You wretched scoundrel! Get away from me!”

Yu Yourong’s primordial spirit was tightly pressed against Yang Chen’s, and the strange tingling sensation born from the contact filled her heart with anger.

She tried to break free, but in her current state, her primordial spirit was exceedingly weak, teetering on the brink of shattering and dissipating. She simply didn’t have the strength to escape.

“Yang Chen, is this your doing? You brazen, despicable brat, how dare you take advantage of me!? Do you have a death wish?” Yu Yourong’s icy voice growled low, her pale, weary face flushed with fury.

If she had the strength, she would have swatted Yang Chen out of her sight long ago.

Since the start of her cultivation journey, no man had ever been this physically close to her.

Even her favored nephew, Yu Zun, had only held her hand briefly as a child.

Now, she was pressed against this scoundrel Yang Chen in such an embarrassing posture.

This was utterly intolerable.
