An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad-Chapter 227

Chapter 227

Feeling the soft, elastic pressure against his chest, the corners of Yang Chen’s mouth curled into a smirk.

“Holy Lord, this really isn’t my fault! The Nine Colored Poria caused this anomaly! But, Holy Lord, it’s just our primordial spirits, not our true bodies. Why be so particular? Besides, I’m not even complaining about the ‘old ox eating young grass’ situation here! You’re not at a loss, are you?”

“You wretched brat, do you have a death wish!?” Yu Yourong trembled all over from anger at Yang Chen’s words. Her dignified, jade-like face now bore traces of fury and even a hint of ferocity.

Killing intent erupted from her phoenix-like eyes.

A radiant white glow emanated from her body as she attempted to forcefully expel Yang Chen from the multicolored light of the Nine Colored Poria.

But suddenly—”Ah!”

A soft gasp escaped her lips. The radiant white light on her body dissipated entirely. Fine cracks began to appear on her body.

“Holy Lord, you’d better refrain from using your primordial spirit’s power. Otherwise, this avatar of yours will completely shatter! And if that happens, re-condensing it will be a lot of trouble!”

Yang Chen reminded her with an air of mockery.

“You bastard! Yang Chen, once I’m free, I will kill you and tear your body to pieces! Only that will quench the hatred in my heart!” Yu Yourong glared at Yang Chen, her teeth clenched as she growled in a low voice.

As the esteemed Holy Lord of Heavenly Dao Holy Land and a dominant figure in the Central Continent, she was revered by countless people. Her status was nothing short of divine.

First, she was trapped in Yang Chen’s prison. Now, she was subjected to such humiliation. Only by killing him could she relieve the rage burning within her.

Yu Yourong’s face turned frosty. Her phoenix-like eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent. Since she embarked on the path of cultivation, there had been audacious men who dared to harass her. Without exception, they either lost their heads or were reduced to ashes, their graves long overgrown with weeds.

After becoming the Holy Lord of Heavenly Dao Holy Land, she wielded immense power, presiding over a holy land and being revered by thousands, one of the most distinguished figures in all of Central Continent.

Over time, she had veiled her appearance in mist. Even elders in the Dao Integration Realm of the Holy Land found it difficult to see her true form. Yet now, she was being so humiliated by a mere junior. How could she not be enraged?!

Although it was just a soul avatar, it was no different from her true self.

“Yang Chen, can’t you control the Nine Colored Poria?” After a brief silence, Yu Yourong forcefully suppressed her anger and questioned coldly.

Despite being so intimately pressed against this beautiful woman, the tingling and intoxicating sensation aside, Yang Chen’s soul began releasing ripples of divine energy toward the Nine Colored Poria above their heads, trying to stabilize it.

But in the end, the Nine Colored Poria continued to unleash massive waves of multicolored radiance, trapping the two of them within.

Yang Chen wore a helpless expression as he said, “I really can’t control it! The Nine Colored Poria has always been rather docile! But now, even I, its master, can’t control it!”

“Hmph, useless fool!” Yu Yourong scolded, exasperated.

However, she could also tell that the Nine Colored Poria was indeed out of Yang Chen’s control.

Moments later, both of them calmed down, turning their attention to the Nine Colored Poria hovering above.

The phantom Yu Yourong had summoned earlier had radiated immense soul energy.

Yu Yourong’s peak Dao Integration Realm soul had almost entirely released its energy into Yang Chen’s soul palace. All of it had been absorbed by the Nine Colored Poria.

The Nine Colored Poria could both release and absorb soul energy. Clearly, it had absorbed too much soul energy, leading to some changes.

After a moment, a leaf shimmering with golden divine light slowly emerged from the Nine Colored Poria.

“The tenth leaf! It actually sprouted a tenth leaf!”

Both Yang Chen and Yu Yourong were stunned by the scene before them.

The Nine Colored Poria had grown another leaf, forming a tenth!

“A Ten Colored Poria? How is this possible?!” Yu Yourong, standing to the side, could hardly believe her eyes.

The Nine Colored Poria was already considered a legendary artifact, unseen in Central Continent for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years. Furthermore, nine was considered the ultimate number, and celestial treasures were rarely able to surpass this limit.

A Nine Colored Poria was thought to be the pinnacle. Yet now, it had formed a tenth leaf, becoming a Ten Colored Poria.

If this were to spread, the old monsters of Central Continent who either feared tribulation or had failed to transcend it would undoubtedly cause a bloodbath over it.

The Nine Colored Poria already possessed heaven-defying effects. A Ten-Colored Poria—what kind of unparalleled treasure could it be?

The golden light emanating from the Ten-Colored Poria overshadowed the radiance of the other nine leaves entirely.

Divine brilliance fell, enveloping both Yang Chen and Yu Yourong in a layer of golden glow.

“This is the power of light!” Yu Yourong’s beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.

Her Jade Beauty Clan was the descendant of sacred spirits born of heaven and earth, naturally attuned to light and capable of wielding its power.

Bathed in the golden divine light, Yu Yourong felt her nearly shattered soul rapidly healing.

Moreover, her understanding of the Path of Light was deepening quickly. In the faintest instant, it felt as though she had grasped the true essence of light.

This?

Yu Yourong froze momentarily.

But soon, her phoenix eyes shone with ecstasy.

Because this golden brilliance wasn’t ordinary light—it was the legendary Innate Radiance Essence!

The Innate Radiance Essence was born only at the dawn of a great world, with the first beam of light, forming a single strand of innate brilliance.

Moreover, almost instantly, a tingling sensation swept through her entire body.

“Ah!” Yu Yourong could no longer suppress herself, and a soft moan escaped her lips.

A striking blush appeared on her dignified and elegant face.

“This ... this is leading to soul fusion dual cultivation!? Unacceptable! I would rather die than ... I will never agree to this! Yang Chen, you bastard, wake up this instant!”

Yu Yourong desperately resisted the force of fusion. Even as fine cracks appeared on her soul, she ignored them. Yet, she still couldn’t break free from the suction of this fusion force.

The tingling sensation that penetrated deep into her soul caused her entire soul to tremble uncontrollably, leaving her unable to exert even thirty percent of her strength.

Ultimately, the two souls intertwined and fused together.

In the silent space of the soul palace, a melodious sound resembling the song of an oriole among willows echoed intermittently.

The golden divine brilliance of light gathered around Yang Chen, while the excess flowed into Yu Yourong’s soul.
