Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 322  Wuying and Xiao Wen

Xuefeng's wives were indeed waiting and counting each day to his return, but the separation was much different this time around. Since he knew exactly where they were, they didn't need to worry about his travels and instead focused on their training. All of them wished to surprise him with insane progress and so far, they even surprised themselves.

Thirty days might not seem a lot for any other Cultivators, but they weren't as fortunate to have access to near-unlimited resources that Emi's Realm provided. Not only did it produce endless amounts of Fate Stones which were the ultimate source of QI, but it also possessed countless Spirit Beasts and Herbs that could aid in their training.

The former reached all the way up to the Ancient Celestial stage with its body and Soul crossing the fifth level, but it still wasn't enough to stop the new tyrants. The Spirit Beasts that used to dominate their world were now forced to run and hide just to have a chance at surviving.

"Where do you think you are going? There is nowhere you can run to!" Xiao Wen shouted with a grin and eyed a group of Golden Tooth Tigers that scattered in all directions. All of them had fear written all over their expressions as they ran as fast as they could.

"I will leave them all to you, just don't burn them to the ground," Wuying commented as she untied her long brown hair to let the wind carry them. She didn't seem worried at all even though their prey was getting further away.

"Don't worry, you will be able to feast on them once I'm done," Xiao Wen assured while extending her arms and suddenly her body burst into colorful flames. "It just so happens I was going to test the new technique I mastered yesterday."

Her crimson hair hovered in the air as she closed her eyes and the sudden cries of Phoenixes awakened from within the flames. One by one, small birds burst out in all directions and chased after the tigers while releasing their dominant presence. The tigers seemed to know they couldn't outrun them and swiftly turned around to fight for their lives, but it was all for naught. They tried to bite at the phoenixes but it only quickened their death when the flames exploded inside their mouths.

"Your control improved greatly, well done," Wuying praised as she watched the whole demonstration from above. "I'm impressed you managed to subdue Bella's flames this fast. Are you planning to showcase them to Xuefeng?"

"Tsk, what is there to showcase? Even though I can control them, that's still Bella's power. She would crush me with a single finger if she wanted to," Xiao Wen commented with a sigh and recalled her flames while staring into Wuying's crimson eyes. "I'm not going to lie to myself and pretend I'm at the top of our group, but at least I'm closing the pack with dignity."

The girls had been training alongside each other for a long time and they could tell who was stronger without needing to fight. The fact that Xiao Wen was able to keep up with everyone despite being just a human was already amazing.

"You underestimate your comprehension abilities. You will quickly surpass us once you receive your own Bloodline. Xuefeng already promised to find one for everyone," Wuying cheered up while looking at one of the mountains on the horizon. "I don't think it will be as powerful as the Phoenix Bloodline though."

Xiao Wen's eyebrow twitched as she recalled the monstrous pressure they experienced the other day. Bella used to be the most innocent and didn't seem that interested in fighting, but her sister was a different story. As soon as Xuefeng left for the Dragon Realm, she immediately began her training and the power of her flames exploded. Her strength grew rapidly to the point she could no longer train with everyone or else she would burn them to crisps.

"Don't remind me. I'm good with fire, but Bella's flames almost killed me when I tried to absorb them. Now I can only approach the base of the mountain or else my skin starts to burn," Xiao Wen commented as she played with her new fire. "My tank is almost empty too so I will have to ask her for more later. My burned hair will never grow back at this point."

Xiao Wen couldn't really produce the Phoenix flames so her only option was to store the excess flames she absorbed from Bella's cultivation. The whole process was extremely risky as the flames could easily burn down her Soul if she wasn't careful.

"And that's just the leftover flames she emanates. Imagine how strong her main flames are," Wuying pointed out as she rubbed her wedding ring with Xuefeng's heartbeat. "Anyway, I don't think it will be an issue. Xuefeng should be arriving soon so everyone will finish their training. Let me end with mine too."

As she spoke, her crimson eyes lit up and she began undressing mid-air. She stored her blouse and the leather jacket which exposed a small black tattoo right in the middle of her black lace bra.

"How much more Blood Essence do you need?" Xiao Wen questioned but Wuying already closed her eyes and activated her new technique.

The tattoo shone with red light and began spreading across her body, slowly wrapping around her waist, arms, and shoulders. It paused as it reached her neck and Wuying extended her arms to summon all the blood in the area. All the dead tigers dried up from miles away and the blood floated from all directions.

"This looks so sick…" Xiao Wen commented as the tattoo continued to grow and soon covered half of Wuying's face. It looked like a devil's hand that was trying to take over but Wuying seemed completely in control.

She clenched her fists to feel the newly gained power and smiled while snapping her eyes open. Xiao Wen's heart skipped a beat just by matching her gaze but Wuying quickly looked away to spare her from any discomfort.

"I think I just stepped on the second place in our group."
