Chapter 728: Sealing Broken

Countless streaks of origin qi blades whistled past, tearing even the void itself. The power contained within each blade was enough to annihilate someone like Zhou Yuan, a Divine Dwelling realm expert, thousands of times over.

The Palace Master of the Sacred Palace watched this scene with a smile. In the next instant, the man and woman before him would be pierced by myriad blades, turned into a spray of blood mist, their very bones unable to remain.

“If you are so reluctant to part,” he chuckled, “then let your flesh and blood mingle together.”

Under the Sacred Palace Master’s smiling gaze, those terrifying origin qi blades instantly enveloped the two figures. However, just as they were about to make contact, a ripple suddenly spread out.

Wherever the ripple passed, time and space seemed to freeze. At that very moment, the origin qi blades also solidified in the void, like insects trapped in amber, unable to move a muscle.

The smile on the Sacred Palace Master’s face faltered slightly.

He sensed that the origin qi blades had completely escaped his control, and no matter how he tried to command them, they remained motionless.

A look of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes.

As the Sacred Palace Master wavered in his disbelief, the origin qi blades slowly began to shatter, eventually transforming into countless points of light that gradually rose and merged into the heavens and earth.

Zhou Yuan also sensed that the danger behind him had been averted, but at that moment, he had no mind to focus on it. He was simply staring intently at the exquisite face before him.

Between Yaoyao’s smooth brows, the mysterious seal gradually began to break.

At the same time, Zhou Yuan could clearly feel an indescribable aura of power emanating from her body. This power was noble and ancient.

The origin qi of the world also hummed and vibrated at that moment, swirling around Yaoyao as if in reverence.

Yaoyao’s originally clear and ethereal eyes became as deep as the starry sky. Zhou Yuan also saw that her originally dark hair was slowly beginning to show traces of gold.

Like golden ink spreading through, within a few breaths, her dark hair transformed into brilliant golden locks, swaying in the wind.

Consequently, that noble aura intensified, as if transcending heaven and earth.

Their tightly pressed lips slowly parted at that moment.

As Zhou Yuan looked at Yaoyao, he felt a sense of his own insignificance, a feeling akin to a mortal in the mundane world gazing up at a lofty deity. It instilled awe and fear.

A stinging sensation arose in Zhou Yuan’s heart at that moment.

“Yaoyao…”

Yaoyao’s eyes, as deep as the starry sky, gazed at Zhou Yuan. In their depths, the familiar light seemed to be gradually fading. She softly uttered, “Zhou…Yuan…”

The small hand that had been caressing Zhou Yuan’s face also slowly withdrew at that moment, fingertips brushing against his cheek, leaving a hint of coolness.

Her delicate body slowly ascended, bare feet suspended in the air, golden hair flowing.

Above the stone steps, the Sacred Palace Master also witnessed Yaoyao’s transformation. His brows furrowed instantly, and for some unknown reason, a profound sense of unease welled up in his heart.

However, a ruthless glint soon flashed in his eyes.

Vast and majestic origin qi erupted from the Sacred Palace Master’s body, causing space to tremble. Under that terrifying torrent of origin qi, even a Heavenly Sun stage expert would find it impossible to move an inch.

However, a look of indifference flashed in Yaoyao’s starry eyes. She stepped forward barefoot, and amidst the rippling space, appeared directly in front of the Sacred Palace Master like a phantom.

“Heavenly King’s Soul Suppressing Seal!”

The Sacred Palace Master’s pupils contracted. In the next instant, boundless origin qi surged from the top of his head, transforming into a spiritual seal imbued with infinite power. As the seal appeared, even the void itself couldn’t bear its weight and began to collapse.

The spiritual seal directly slammed down towards Yaoyao in front.

However, facing the descending spiritual seal, Yaoyao’s fair, small hand gently closed into a fist, and then she punched the colossal spiritual seal.

The two collided with a crisp sound.

And then, the Sacred Palace Master was horrified to witness his full-power spiritual seal suddenly explode at that very moment, scattering into countless points of light across the sky.

Yaoyao’s seemingly casual, small punch — its power was terrifying to such an extent?!

The Sacred Palace Master’s scalp tingled violently at that moment. He stared blankly at the mysterious golden-haired girl before him, as a wave of fear crawled up from the depths of his heart.

“You, who exactly are you?!” he stammered, trembling.

As his voice fell, his figure suddenly turned ethereal. Amidst the spatial ripples, he vanished from his spot, attempting to flee directly!

Yaoyao’s previous punch had directly terrified the Sacred Palace Master into losing his composure.

However, facing his escape, Yaoyao’s exquisite jade-like face remained calm. Her small hand reached directly into the void ahead, and the void itself shattered.

As her small hand extended, it forcefully dragged out a figure—it was none other than the dazed Sacred Palace Master.

The Sacred Palace Master’s face was ashen. At this moment, he was utterly terrified, his soul seemingly scattered. He never imagined that this person, whom he had initially seen as an ant, would suddenly possess such terrifying power.

And he had clearly torn space to escape earlier, so how could he have been forcefully dragged back by her?

What kind of power was this?!

Yaoyao’s starry eyes quietly gazed at him, then a fragmented, soft voice emerged: “Earlier…was it…you…who wanted to kill us?”

The Sacred Palace Master’s teeth chattered, completely devoid of his previous authority.

“Why…did you…force me?”

In Yaoyao’s labored voice, a surge of anger was rising.

“I…” The Sacred Palace Master was on the verge of tears, his heart filled with bitter regret. If he had known this girl was such a terrifying deity, how could he have dared to pressure her in the slightest?

He also sensed at that moment that this girl named Yaoyao clearly had an extremely terrifying power dormant within her.

And it was precisely his previous coercion that ultimately forced her to awaken that power.

Now, it was time for him to taste the bitter consequences.

However, the Sacred Palace Master was, after all, no ordinary person. He gradually regained his composure, understanding that he was in a desperate situation. Instantly, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he bit down hard.

His physical body directly self-detonated at that moment.

An indescribably terrifying shockwave erupted, sweeping towards Yaoyao before him, completely shattering and collapsing space.

However, as those terrifying self-detonation forces just touched Yaoyao’s delicate body, they suddenly became docile, transforming into gentle breezes that rustled her brilliant golden hair.

Yaoyao remained expressionless. With a grasp of her small hand, a ball of light appeared in her palm. Within the light, a corporeal-like shadow was struggling.

Its face was strikingly identical to that of the Sacred Palace Master.

It was the Sacred Palace Master’s Origin Infant, cultivated through his practice!

As long as his Origin Infant could escape, he would soon be able to reform his physical body. Clearly, he had intentionally self-detonated his body earlier, attempting to use it as a means of escape.

But he had clearly underestimated Yaoyao’s abilities.

The Sacred Palace Master’s Origin Infant, its face filled with terror, shrieked at Yaoyao: “You, you’re not human!”

Even his physical body’s self-detonation hadn’t shaken Yaoyao in the slightest. That kind of power exceeded the Sacred Palace Master’s imagination.

“Spare me!”

“Please spare me! I was wrong! I shouldn’t have harbored murderous intent towards you!”

“If you kill me, the Palace Master won’t let you go either!”

With his Origin Infant in Yaoyao’s hand, this time, the Sacred Palace Master was truly terrified. He had lost all semblance of dignity and desperately begged for mercy, knowing that if his Origin Infant was destroyed, he would be completely finished.

However, facing his pleas for mercy, Yaoyao’s eyes remained completely unwavering.

Her small, jade-like hand gently closed.

Space twisted.

The next moment, the Sacred Palace Master’s Origin Infant was forcefully crushed by her.

Countless points of light burst forth across the sky, accompanied by the Sacred Palace Master’s desperate, high-pitched scream.

At this moment, the explosion of the Sacred Palace Master’s Origin Infant finally drew the attention of powerful experts from all sides. Even Palace Master Sheng Yuan and Headmaster Qing Yang, among others, cast their gazes towards this void space.

Then, they were shocked to see Yaoyao amidst the countless points of light, standing barefoot in the air, her golden hair fluttering.

At that moment, she was like a deity manifest, walking among mortals.
