Chapter 329: Shen Kai’s Showtime!

Losing morality, humanity, and even... conscience is one thing.

But there are still lines that shouldn’t be crossed.

Wu Taeyong had crossed them all.

To him... Even blood relations meant nothing.

Wu Taeyong’s grin gradually became colder.

"Everything was going perfectly."

"But you annoying fools ruined everything for me."

"What a pity..." He spoke in a regretful tone. "She could have become my queen. Instead of dying a meaningless death."

"W-What are you talking about?"

Shen Kai’s voice quivered.

Lightning began gathering around his clenched fists.

His eyes had become completely bloodshot. "What did you do to her?"

"Wasn’t I clear?" Wu Taeyong sneered.

"Remeber, Haruto’s death. You know what technique I used?"

He slowly raised one clawed hand.

"It’s called Origin Blood Return."

"In simple terms..."

"I can use descendants who carry my bloodline as sacrifices to recover from injuries or temporarily increase my strength."

Shen Kai’s pupils contracted.

Wu Taeyong continued calmly.

"My injuries just now were quite serious."

"So I used Origin Blood Return."

"Every living descendant who carried my blood..."

"...became my nutrients."

"They gave me their vitality and helped me recover."

His crimson eyes stared directly at Shen Kai. "Does that make it clear?"

Shen Kai’s body trembled.

Wu Taeyong’s smile widened.

"If you still don’t understand... Then I’ll spell it out for you."

"Wu Yuna...is dead."

His words struck Shen Kai like thunder.

His wife...whom he had just reunited with for a short while.

Was dead.

Because of him.

Because of Wu Taeyong.

He killed her!

Took her away from him! Before and now again. This time she won’t be returning again.

Something inside him snapped.

The lightning surrounding Shen Kai’s arms suddenly became violent.

Crackle!

Crackle!

The yellow lightning rapidly intensified.

Then... It began changing.

The yellow lightning gradually transformed into a deep blue.

The pressure surrounding Shen Kai suddenly erupted.

Boom!

His aura surged violently.

His spiritual energy began rising at an astonishing rate.

The bottleneck that had imprisoned him for years...

Cracked.

Boom!

A terrifying pressure belonging to the Nascent Soul Realm erupted from his body.

He had broken through.

The realm he had struggled to reach for years was finally achieved.

Normally... This should have been the happiest moment of his life.

But Shen Kai couldn’t feel even the slightest trace of joy.

What was the point?

He had gained the power he had dreamed of for years.

But the price...was his wife’s death.

If obtaining this strength meant losing her...

Then he would rather never have broken through.

He wanted only one thing. That was to have her back.

But it was already too late.

Tears emerged from his eyes.

The violent blue lightning surrounding his body illuminated those tears before instantly vaporizing them.

Crackle!

The lightning continued to intensify. Its density increased.

The pressure became increasingly terrifying.

Shen Kai could feel that the power was rapidly approaching the limits of what his newly advanced body could control.

But he didn’t care.

He no longer cared about anything.

Cultivation? Life? Death? It’s doens’t matter.

Only one thought had remained in his mind.

Kill him!

Kill the murderer of his wife.

Kill this monster who had destroyed everything.

"Wu Taeyong!"

Shen Kai raised his head.

His bloodshot eyes locked onto the Pishacha King.

The next instant—

Boom!

His figure vanished in a burst of blue lightning.

Wu Taeyong’s pupils contracted.

"What—?!"

A thunderous explosion erupted.

Shen Kai appeared directly before him.

His fist was already swinging toward Wu Taeyong’s face.

"Die!"

Boom!

The fist struck.

The terrifying power of the newly awakened Nascent Soul Realm erupted at point-blank range.

Blue lightning exploded across Wu Taeyong’s face.

The Pishacha King’s tall body was blasted backward like a cannonball.

And Shen Kai...

Stood in the middle of the battlefield, surrounded by violent blue lightning.

His tears had already disappeared.

Only boundless killing intent remained.

Shen Kai stomped heavily against the ground.

Boom!

The earth beneath his feet collapsed into a huge crater as countless rocks were blasted upward by the tremendous force.

Yet before the debris could even fall...

Shen Kai disappeared.

He was so fast that his figure seemed to transform into a streak of blue lightning.

Wu Taeyong had only just recovered from the terrifying punch that had smashed into his face when his instincts suddenly screamed danger again.

"What?!"

A gigantic fist wrapped in blue lightning appeared behind him.

Boom!

The thunderous fist smashed directly into the back of his head.

Wu Taeyong’s enormous body staggered forward.

His expression became increasingly grim.

He had believed that, with his Peak Nascent Soul cultivation and his Pishacha Form, his speed was already astonishing.

But Shen Kai...was on a entirely different level.

He had only just entered the Nascent Soul Realm.

Yet his speed was so terrifying that even Wu Taeyong could barely catch his movements.

Before Wu Taeyong could turn around, another streak of blue lightning flashed across his vision.

Boom!

Another thunderous fist struck his body.

One after another, the fists kept raining down.

Shen Kai’s hands were injured by the violent lightning too. His veins had burst. But he didn’t stop.

His figure continuously flashed from one side to another, leaving behind streaks of blue lightning as his fists rained down upon Wu Taeyong from every direction.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Every punch carried the furious power of a newly awakened Nascent Soul cultivator.

Wu Taeyong attempted to counterattack. His claws swept through the air.

But Shen Kai’s movements were simply too fast.

Every time Wu Taeyong thought he had caught him, Shen Kai had already disappeared.

The furious barrage of thunderous fists gave Wu Taeyong barely a moment to breathe.

His Pishacha body was repeatedly being struck by those powerful punches.

His bones cracked, flesh ruptured, blood splattered.

Yet...

Wu Taeyong wasn’t particularly worried.

The Origin Blood Return Technique had replenished his vitality to an astonishing degree.

The injuries Shen Kai inflicted upon him were serious, but they recovered almost immediately.

As long as his vitality remained sufficient, he could continue healing.
