Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Fang Xingjian shook his head. “Stubborn as a mule.” As he spoke, he slammed his palm down, using his pure physical strength to compress the air. It was as if there was an invisible palm pressing Li Shuanghua down onto her knees.
Li Shuanghua was forced to kneel down with a bang, and her face turned into a purplish-red color like that of pork liver. Streams of green light kept on being emitted from her body, as if wanting to break through the restriction.
Looking at the state she was in, Fang Xingjian let out a cold laugh and shook his wrist. Tyrant immediately pounced forth and encompassed her body. He seeped slowly into Li Shuanghua’s body, engulfing it ceaselessly.
“You… You b*stard!” Li Shuanghua could sense that her body was being engulfed ceaselessly. It must be known that Tyrant had only just engulfed the body of a Divine level expert. Although the Despot had suffered from serious injuries and had not been able to summon any of his powers, his physical attributes had remained unchanged. Tyrant received a great amount of nutrition from consuming the Despot.
As her body was slowly being engulfed by Tyrant, Li Shuanghua’s martial will continued to turn into part of her physical body to make up for the loss. When she realized that her martial will was being depleted at a rapid rate, there was finally bewilderment in her eyes.
“Do you think I’m unaware that you’ve been trying to accumulate your power all this while, wanting to break through my sword intent?
“Today, I’ll remove all of your cultivation completely. You’ll be able to focus on repenting and apologizing to my mother every day in peace.”
As Fang Xingjian spoke, he tapped out a finger across space, and a stream of sword intent came slashing down once again. This time around, Li Shuanghua felt that she had completely lost control over her own martial will. It was like a surging river, seeping out of her body incessantly to try and make up for the loss her body was suffering from.
However, Li Shuanghua’s body continued to be engulfed by Tyrant. This meant that the power of her martial will was being depleted non-stop.
In the blink of her eye, her will had depleted rapidly, and there was now lesser and lesser of it. In the end, her will was even weaker than that of an ordinary person, and her physical body had deteriorated to a state where she now looked like a 80-year-old person.
By this time, even if Fang Xingjian were to remove the sword intent restriction he had left on her, Li Shuanghua would still have to cultivate again from scratch for her to get back her cultivation.
At the next instant, Tyrant moved away from her. He had just managed to absorb a large amount of flesh and blood from two Divine level experts. Although the physical body of a magic prints Warrior was a far cry from that of a Knight, it was still a great nourishment for him.
Fang Xingjian tapped out with his finger, shooting out three consecutive sword intents and leaving them in Li Shuanghua’s body. If any martial will were to appear in her body, it would be dispersed by these three streams of sword intent.
From this day onward, Li Shuanghua’s cultivation was truly lost. She was now no different from an ordinary old lady.
At this moment, Li Shuanghua, who was down on her knees, seemed to have aged by 30 years, and her eyes were filled with despondence.
Fang Xingjian looked toward Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei, saying, “Why aren’t the two of you helping her to kowtow and admit her wrongdoings?”
“Yes, yes.” Fang Yueming nodded and bowed submissively. “Leave it all to us.”
As Fang Yueming spoke, he and his wife were already pressing Li Shuanghua down from both sides. They then pushed down her head to force her to kowtow while kneeling.
Fang Yueming shouted, “Xingjian, don’t worry. Leave this old lady to us in the future. We’ll guarantee that she’ll sincerely kowtow to Eldest Sister and admit her wrongdoings three times a day, in the morning, afternoon, and at night.”
Li Shuanghua was so angry that she was trembling. In the end, droplets of tears trickled down from the corners of her eyes.
In this moment, with her strength lost and martial will crushed, she was even forced by the youngest son, whom she had doted on the most, to kneel down before her deceased eldest daughter.
Li Shuanghua’s world finally collapsed completely in this instant. Her eyes expressed that there was no grief greater than despair.
Li Shuanghua looked at Fang Yueru’s spirit tablet and laughed in despair. “Fang Yueru, you defiant daughter. You really got yourself a great son. My son is no match for yours. It’s my loss.”
Fang Xingjian shook his head and left the Fang Clan’s main residence.
Behind him, Hua Meimei landed a slap on Li Shuanghua’s face. She then pressed down on Li Shuanghua’s head, sending it banging toward the ground. “You old hag! What are you going on about? Quickly admit your wrongdoings and apologize!”
…
Over the next few days, Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei continuously pressed Li Shuanghua’s head pressed down onto the ground , forcing her to kowtow.
Faced with Li Shuanghua’s unwillingness to submit, Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei would resort to either violence and reprimands at every single chance. Right now, they were already venting all of their frustrations onto Li Shuanghua.
Even if Li Shuanghua refused to eat, they would pry her mouth open and force the food down her throat.
They did this especially because Fang Xingjian was still in Demonic City. Both Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei were afraid that if they were to slack in the slightest, they would be killed by Fang Xingjian. Therefore, they continued to pressure Li Shuanghua day and night.
When the servants came across Li Shuanghua, they too were full of contempt, sneering and throwing her cold looks. Li Shuanghua had been too harsh with the clan’s regulations in the past. She had dealt punishments over the smallest issues, and she had even caused the deaths and injuries of countless maids and female attendants.
Countless people secretly harbored feelings of hatred toward her. Now that she was crippled of her cultivation… Although the servants did not do much at the beginning, some of them started stepping all over her after one or two days.
There were even outsiders of the Fang Clan who would secretly sneak into the Fang Clan’s ancestral hall to watch Li Shuanghua old and pitiful state, where she had no means of resisting in the least.
It had only been a few days’ time, but Li Shuanghua felt as if it was longer that the entire lifetime she had been through. Waves of humiliation and the feeling of having been dropped from the tallest peak to the lowest point, the feelings of despair expressed in her eyes grew increasingly stronger. Li Shuanghua entered the lowest point in her entire life.
One night, when Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei were deep asleep, Li Shuanghua took out a long piece of cloth. Then she walked over and stood below the eaves.
Behind her, Fang Xingjian stood in the shadows without saying a word.
…
The next morning, Fang Yuehe came to the highest story of the Fang Clan’s building and reported, “Xingjian, Li Shuanghua committed suicide by hanging last night.”
Fang Xingjian spoke nonchalantly, “Let her have a proper burial. Oh, one more thing. As a Divine level expert of her generation, she needs to have a few companions in death.”
Fang Yuehe’s countenance changed into one of shock. “You’re saying…”
“Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei have committed too many acts of evil. My heart won’t be able to be at ease if I keep them alive.”
“I understand.”
At this moment, the Fang Clan’s matters had completely come to an end. Fang Xingjian felt as if his mind was completely at peace, and his mental cultivation method was being circulated to an extreme speed. A silver light was expanding in his mind.
The Universal Sword Dominance Lunisolar mental cultivation method finally stepped into level 10 at this moment.
At the next instant, Fang Xingjian opened his eyes. There seemed to be silver light shining out from his eyes as he said to Fang Yuehe calmly, “Prepare to start the nuclear experiments tomorrow.”
During this period of time when Fang Xingjian was handling the matters on Earth, a huge change occurred in Miracle World.
At midnight on the 1st of March.
Up in the night sky of Miracle World, trillions of starlights lit up concurrently for the entire night and then disappeared once again.
In the mountain range located to the north of the Empire, the First Prince looked at the starlights in the sky and laughed out loud, “Rivers of stars ascends, and the world undergoes a metamorphosis. It really is as I’ve calculated. Today is a good day for me to break through to the Divine level.”
Countless experts, both inside and outside of the mountain range, dropped to their knees. Then streams of aura soared into the air, turning all the living creatures within 100 li into dust. At the next moment, shouts which were like earthquakes and tsunamis gushed forth.
“Wishing Your Highness domination over the entire world for generations to come!
“Wishing Your Highness domination over the entire world for generations to come!
“Wishing Your Highness domination over the entire world for generations to come!”
The First Prince shut his eyes together tightly, and streams of aura, which were like sulfur from hell, extended out from his body. It was as if they were gradually materializing.
“With the seventh onslaught getting closer and closer, the time of the world’s metamorphosis that I’ve been waiting for has finally arrived. The path to progress has opened up, and a torrential era is going to be born. Countless experts, heroes, and sovereigns will appear out of nowhere.”
The First Prince revealed an excited smile as many sparks representing his great ambitions lit up in his eyes. “It will be proven that I’m truly the strongest.”
