Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 826

Chapter 826: Blissfully Unaware Of Brewing Storm [Xiao Meng’s Fate]
When Di Xiuyu and Xiao Meng, who were engaged in their fierce altercation, inadvertently triggered a mechanism within the throne hall, a multitude of ancient artifacts emerged before them.

The very instant these treasures manifested, the entire Abyssal Throne Ruins trembled, drawing the attention of all inhabitants of the Demon Realm. They flocked to the entrance, eager to discover who would seize the treasures hidden within.

Xiao Meng was consumed by greed, her sanity slipping away, yet deep down, she was aware of the dire repercussions of attempting to claim these artifacts.

In contrast, Di Xiuyu maintained a composed demeanor amid the allure of the treasures. She consulted with the system regarding the inherent dangers, allowing it to scan the environment for any threats.

Shen Anshuang’s gaze sharpened as she sensed an unseen force probing around them. Fixing her winter-gray eyes on Di Xiuyu, she declared in her heart, “So, you are the Daughter of Destiny?”

This woman possessed extraordinary fortune. Any foe who sought to harm her would invariably suffer misfortune and, at worst, face unimaginable horrors.

“Even being favored by fate doesn’t guarantee your ability to claim what is mine. I am not bound by the laws of heaven and earth. I shall shield this realm from such powers, and we will see how many treasures you can gather without divine protection,” Shen Anshuang proclaimed, snapping her fingers to alter the environment.

What transpired within the throne room remained a mystery. However, later, onlookers witnessed both Di Xiuyu and Xiao Meng emerging from its depths, battered and broken.

Di Xiuyu fared better than Xiao Meng, having secured various precious items in her storage space. In stark contrast, Xiao Meng found herself bereft of rewards; her cultivation was irreparably damaged, rendering her as powerless as an ordinary individual.

Those she had previously tormented began to confront her one by one. The protection she once enjoyed from Shen Xian, which allowed her to torment them, crumbled, and they took their revenge on her. The repercussions of her antagonism towards Di Xiuyu had sealed her fate.

Shen Xian seemed to have forgotten her existence entirely, showing no curiosity about her disappearance.

She never had the chance to eliminate Shenlian Yingyue and seize the Bunny Goddess Mirror, for her destiny was irrevocably determined in the Abyssal Throne Ruins the moment she chose to oppose the Daughter of Destiny.

Not only did she insult Di Xiuyu, but she also crossed the line with Shen Anshuang. Shen Anshuang was known for her fierce protection of herself and her son, showing no mercy to those with ill intentions.

Shenlian Yingyue was blissfully unaware of this brewing storm.

Had Xiao Meng not been so consumed by greed and arrogance, attempting to seize all of Shen Anshuang’s ancient treasures, she might have refrained from intruding into someone else’s domain with such blatant disrespect, and avoided this tragic outcome.

Instead of showing respect to the rightful guardian of the place, she harbored malicious ambitions to usurp Shen Anshuang’s power in a bid to make Shen Xian her pawn.

Xiao Meng had the potential to emerge as a significant threat to Shenlian Yingyue in the future, as she was aware of the sacred relic held by the Tuzi Clan that Shenlian Yingyue possessed. Should she choose to reveal this secret, Shenlian Yingyue would find herself relentlessly hunted and targeted.

Xiao Meng concocted a devious plan: if she failed to seize the Bunny Goddess Mirror from Shenlian Yingyue, and if Run Chu chose not to ally with her, she would ensure that Shenlian Yingyue’s existence became a living nightmare through her manipulations and schemes.

—————

Separated from Tai Hua Lei, Shenlian Yingyue embraced the journey ahead with a sense of acceptance. She had always understood that each individual had their own unique paths and destinies. The past experiences, from the mystical realm of Congzhu to the enchanting Fantasy land and Crystal Bay, had taught her this lesson well; separation was a part of her journey.

Now, as she continued her quest to find her master, she walked tirelessly through days and nights, battling numerous creatures and enduring countless injuries.

By her side were Shenlian Yinzhu, Jun Mu Yang, Xiao Yun, and Xiao Qiu, all of whom had emerged from the Ethereal Small World to join her on this journey.

While searching for Xiong Zi Ying, they took advantage of every opportunity to hone their skills in this realm, which was rich with spiritual energy—far stronger than that found in the Ethereal Small World. Thanks to Xiao Yun’s ability to purify the dark energy around them, they transformed it into pure spiritual energy that greatly benefited their training.

One fateful day, during an intense battle with a colossal spider, Shenlian Yingyue unexpectedly experienced a breakthrough. She ascended to the mid-stage of True Immortal, triggering a stirring among her companions—Zhiyi, Xiao Lan, Xiao Li, Bing Xue, and Hong Zuan all awakened from their slumber. Together, they joined her on her journey.

What was once a desolate abyss came alive with laughter and camaraderie as her companions settled in comfortably. Xiao Li and the others acted as if they belonged to this eerie yet invigorating place, completely at ease.

The growth in their strengths was astonishing; they had surpassed her expectations to a degree that left Shenlian Yingyue in awe.

She couldn’t quite grasp how, despite simply feeding them her spiritual energy during her ascension, they had managed to emerge from their slumber so remarkably powerful. It was as though they had risen from the ashes, transformed like newly blossomed phoenix and dragons.

Now, her companions had all become mightier than her; as their master and partner, how could she remain in the shadows?

She spared no moment in striving to grow stronger, training tirelessly while keeping the vision that first brought her here firmly in mind—her master awaited her.

Her progression astounded Shen Anshuang, who had quietly observed her journey through the Abyssal Throne Ruin.

When Shen Anshuang noticed numerous people flocking to her side out of nowhere, her jaw dropped in disbelief.

How could an ordinary person forge contracts with over five beasts? Additionally, each of her beasts possessed human forms, suggesting they had exceeded the Spiritual Beast realm.

As she assessed their power, a smirk flashed across her lips. Their strength surpassed that of Legendary Beasts!
