Chapter 158
Chapter 158 - Seaoverturning
At a pivotal moment, the young man from the Wolf Tribe reverted to his true form.
A massive wolf demon, its body covered in black fur, let out a roar and charged at the sword light Ye Hao had released.
As it charged, a ghostly glow radiated from its body.
The demons were known for their formidable physiques.
Thus, the wolf pushed his cultivation to its limits.
But when his body met the sword light from Ye Hao, his eyes widened in disbelief.
The sword light pierced his defenses and tore into his flesh.
Yet, this Wolf Tribe youth was no pushover. Despite his grave injuries, he continued his assault on Ye Hao.
Ye Hao had just executed the Divine Sword Spell, depleting much of his vital spirit. Confronted by this frenzied Wolf Tribe youth, he called forth a thunderbolt.
The lightning strike made the youth stumble. Then, to Ye Hao's astonishment, he advanced towards him.
“Damn.” Ye Hao hadn't anticipated the Wolf Tribe youth's formidable strength. Nonetheless, he stood his ground.
As the youth lunged at Ye Hao, Ye Hao met him head-on.
Just as the youth's sharp claws nearly grasped Ye Hao, Ye Hao's form twisted. The lower half of his body transformed into a streak of light, circling the Wolf Tribe youth several times.
“Azure Dragon Discoctaster,” Ye Hao declared, and the light coiling around the youth morphed into dark scales.
The tremendous power shattered every bone in the youth's body.
He stared at Ye Hao, astounded.
He couldn't fathom how Ye Hao was versed in the Dragon's Roar of the Dragon Clan and wielded their unique Divine Power, the Azure Dragon Discoctaster.
Could Ye Hao be a member of the Dragon Clan?
If so, the Wolf Tribe had indeed meddled with someone they should have avoided at all costs!
But for the Wolf Tribe youth, such considerations were no longer necessary.
As the might of the Azure Dragon Discoctaster intensified, the Wolf Tribe youth closed his eyes in agony.
After slaying the young Wolf Tribe member, Ye Hao turned his attention to the youth battling Qingqing.
He mustered the scant vital spirit within him and activated the Rain Summoning. In no time, a tether of water ensnared the youth.
Seizing the moment of distraction, Qingqing delivered a solid slap to his chest.
The youth stumbled backward as a thunderbolt crashed down upon his head.
“Someone's coming,” Ye Hao stated gravely.
“We need to get out of here,” Qingqing urged.
“I'll take care of things here. Head to my villa,” Ye Hao instructed, storing the Wolf Tribe members' bodies in the Cosmos Bag and wiping away all signs of the skirmish.
No sooner had Ye Hao departed than Shao Hua arrived, finding nothing amiss.
”What exactly happened here?” Shao Hua wondered aloud.
She had sensed the remnants of a fierce battle, something only a significantly more powerful individual could have caused.
”What's the matter?” panted Zhang Lan, arriving breathlessly.
“It's nothing,” Shao Hua replied, shaking her head gently.
“Where is Ye Hao?” Zhang Lan's concern for him was evident.
“I don't know.”
Zhang Lan was about to call Ye Hao when her phone rang.
“I've got to handle something. I must leave.”
“Are you okay?”
“I'm fine,” Ye Hao assured her before ending the call.
Zhang Lan let out a relieved sigh.
After a brief hesitation, Ye Hao dialed Xiao Ming's number. Xiao Ming picked up after three rings.
”How did you know Qingqing was in trouble?”
“In Glento, the Supernatural Bureau's reach surpasses that of the Martial Arts Bureau. I've been covertly watching the Wolf Tribe through Skynet. They're clever, I'll give them that. Qingqing and the others were well-hidden, yet the Wolf Tribe members still sniffed them out,” Xiao Ming informed him.
“Why did you hang up earlier?”
“An emergency call,” Xiao Ming explained, his voice growing serious. “There have been three suicides at a high school—girls jumping from the building in just three days.”
“Go handle it,” Ye Hao urged.
Upon returning to the villa, Ye Hao found Qingqing and the other two women deep in conversation with Tang Pianpian.
Upon Ye Hao's return, they promptly rose to their feet.
They had initially doubted their grandmother's decision to entrust them to Ye Hao. However, today they came to understand the true extent of Ye Hao's strength.
“I didn't expect you to have reached the first level of the Soul Refining Realm,” Qingqing remarked to Ye Hao.
“Do you have any doubts?”
“There aren't many at your age who have attained such a level of cultivation,” Qingqing admitted, having once considered herself a prodigy in cultivation, but next to Ye Hao, she felt significantly less accomplished.
“We've slain quite a few of the Wolf Tribe's descendants this time. The Wolf Tribe's leaders surely won't let this slide,” Sugar expressed with concern.
“Do you have a place to go?” Ye Hao inquired, looking at Sugar.
“We plan to head to Ancesall,” Qingqing replied.
“Ancesall?”
“Our grandmother has a retreat there, where the spiritual energy is incredibly dense. Cultivating there will accelerate our progress,” Qingqing explained earnestly.
“When do you plan to leave?”
“Immediately,” Qingqing responded gravely.
“Alright then,” Ye Hao said, gazing at Qingqing. “If you run into any trouble, make sure to contact me.”
“Understood.” After a brief exchange with Ye Hao, they set off for Ancesall.
Once they had departed, Tang Pianpian turned to Ye Hao and asked, “You've advanced to the Soul Refining Realm?”
“I've reached the first level of Soul Refining.”
“Your progress in cultivation is astonishing.”
“It's because I'm fortunate.”
“When might I become a Body Refining cultivator?”
“Given the current pace, it shouldn't be long before you make the breakthrough.”
“I'm eager to fly.”
“Who said that reaching the Soul Refining Realm would grant you flight?”
“Still, once I break through to the Soul Refining Realm, I'll surely be able to stay airborne for longer.”
After pondering for a moment, Tang Pianpian queried, “What's the equivalent martial arts realm to the Soul Refining Realm?”
“The Sea-overturning Realm.”
“The Innate Realm, Mountain's Echo Realm, Sea-overturning Realm,” Tang Pianpian recited softly. “What comes after the Sea-overturning Realm?”
“The Sea-overturning Realm marks the pinnacle of martial arts, but cultivators can continue to enhance their strength beyond that,” Ye Hao explained with a smile.
“What comes after the Soul Refining Realm?”
“The Doppelganger Realm.”
“Doppelganger Realm?” Tang Pianpian exclaimed in surprise. “Does that mean a cultivator can form their own doppelganger at this level?”
“Exactly. Once you've reached this realm, you'll be able to split off a doppelganger from your spirit. That's why it's known as the Doppelganger Realm,” Ye Hao explained, then looked at Tang Pianpian. “Is there anything else you'd like to know?”
“You should focus on your cultivation,” Tang Pianpian suggested, aware that after Ye Hao's recent string of intense battles, what he needed most was to dedicate time to his cultivation.
