An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 225

Yang Chen spoke in a deep voice, then let out a low shout: “Heavenly Demon Soul Prison!”

As his words fell, the nine-colored soul energy directly transformed into a prison, trapping Yu Yourong’s alluring and graceful figure within.

“Ha, you? You think you can trap me? This soul avatar was formed using half of my primordial spirit! Do you believe that with your mere tenth-stage Soul Transformation cultivation, even within your Soul Palace, you can contend against half of my primordial spirit?” Yu Yourong’s face showed disdain.

Although a primordial spirit entering someone else’s Soul Palace would be at a disadvantage, instances of a Void Refinement Realm cultivator’s spirit being countered by a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator’s Soul Palace were not uncommon. But she was in the Dao Integration Realm. Not just any Dao Integration Realm cultivator, but at its peak.

There was no way Yang Chen’s mere tenth-stage Soul Transformation spirit could compare to her.

“Break!” Yu Yourong moved her jade-like fingers. Dozens of primordial spirit swords slashed toward the prison. These spirit swords were tens to hundreds of times more powerful than the attacks Yu Zun had used earlier. However, when the soul swords struck the prison, they only caused slight ripples.

The prison didn’t budge an inch.

“What!?” Yu Yourong’s dignified and majestic face was now filled with shock. Her gaze turned to the prison.

At this moment, the originally nine-colored soul energy, after forming the prison, had turned into a dark black color. The dark black iron bars resembled ancient demon pillars, with what appeared to be ancient inscriptions carved into them.

From the inscriptions, a faint eerie light radiated, exuding a heavy force of confinement. The prison wrapped around her from all six directions, pressing her into the center. This suppression limited her primordial spirit’s power to just 30% of its potential.

“Damned brat! What a strong force of confinement and sealing! And it’s specifically designed to target soul energy and primordial spirits! Yang Chen, to think you possess such a secret technique! I’ve truly underestimated you once again!”

This was the second time Yu Yourong realized she had underestimated Yang Chen. This brat was far from being as simple as he seemed.

“However, even so, you still can’t keep me trapped! Break!” Yu Yourong couldn’t simply sit and wait for defeat. Her primordial spirit once again conjured multiple attacks: Sword beams, fiery dragons, and icy spears.

Each strike was stronger than the last, causing Yang Chen’s Soul Palace to tremble violently. Yet, the prison around her remained unbroken.

“Curse it! How could someone like me, a mighty Integration Realm expert, standing at the pinnacle of Central Continent, be imprisoned by a mere Soul Transformation junior?” Yu Yourong cursed inwardly, her frustration boiling over.

Watching her furious expression, Yang Chen couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smirk.

The Heavenly Demon Soul Prison was a divine ability he had mastered from the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving techniques. It was specifically designed to counter primordial spirit attacks.

Today, Yu Yourong’s intrusion provided him with the perfect opportunity to test it out. And it seemed the technique’s power was far greater than he had anticipated.

Now, even Yu Yourong appeared to be at her wit’s end.

He chuckled inwardly.

***

The Heavenly Demon Soul Prison technique’s power had clearly exceeded Yang Chen’s expectations.

Among the thirty-six techniques of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings, every single one was a divine ability capable of shaking the heavens and earth.

To comprehend this particular technique, Heavenly Demon Soul Prison, Yang Chen had spent a staggering 4,000 points. It could be said that this was the divine ability from the Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings that had cost him the most fortune value in his cultivation.

However, the gains were equally significant. After all, Yu Yourong was a mighty cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm, possibly even at its peak.

Just by unleashing her aura, she could force someone like Zhan Qiuyun, a powerful beauty, to submit. Even half of her primordial spirit’s power, while trapped in Yang Chen’s Soul Palace, was not something a cultivator at the tenth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm could contend with.

Not to mention, it wasn’t even a match for a single clash.

Yet, with the Heavenly Demon Soul Prison, Yang Chen managed to trap her. This showcased just how extraordinary this divine ability was.

Boom!

Yu Yourong launched another heavy strike, with brilliant flames burning fiercely, condensing into a long spear of light that stabbed heavily toward the demon prison’s pillar. However, she still couldn’t break the prison.

The attack merely rippled out a layer of waves. Moreover, it activated more dark runes, further strengthening the imprisoning and sealing power.

“Yang Chen, you truly have remarkable methods! A mere Soul Transformation cultivator, and yet you’ve managed to trap me! Fine, you win this time! Lift the prison, and I will leave immediately!” Yu Yourong finally spoke.

Hearing this, Yang Chen immediately laughed.

“Holy Lord, you forcibly broke into my Soul Palace, intending to plant a soul imprint. And now, you simply say I’ve won and expect me to let you go? Do you think that’s possible?”

“What do you want, then?” Yu Yourong’s phoenix-like eyes locked onto Yang Chen, carrying a trace of warning. “Don’t forget, half of my primordial spirit is still outside. I can kill you anytime!”

“Is that so?” Yang Chen appeared unconcerned. “Then why do you think the half of your primordial spirit outside hasn’t acted yet?”

“Humph, although the primordial spirit and its avatar can transmit messages instantly across vast distances, within my prison, all your connections to the outside world are severed!

“If this were outside, I might not have the ability to do this. But since you chose to enter my Soul Palace, well! Moreover, your other half of the primordial spirit wouldn’t dare destroy my physical body. On the contrary, it would protect it well! After all, if my body is destroyed, who will help your Jade Beauty Clan enhance its bloodline!?”

“You!” Yu Yourong’s expression froze. She hadn’t expected this young man to be so meticulous. Moreover, the prison that trapped her soul was so extraordinary.

Not only did it render her helpless. It even severed the communication between her primordial spirit’s main body and its avatar.

To her knowledge, her primordial spirit avatar had been cultivated using a secret technique of the Jade Clan for a millennium, condensing half of her total primordial spirit’s power.

Even if separated by ten thousand miles, her thoughts could transmit in an instant. Not even spatial barriers could block it. Yet Yang Chen’s soul prison managed to sever this connection.

Where did this young man acquire such a heaven-defying technique? Even in the Soul Palace, she had never heard of such an eerie and unparalleled ability!

“What do you want, then?” After a moment of silence, Yu Yourong asked again in a solemn tone.

“Since I’ve revealed such means, I must ensure my safety in the future! For example, what if the Holy Lord forcibly seizes the Nine-Colored Poria in the future? And what if you grow envious of the primordial spirit secret techniques I’ve displayed?”

“I can swear to the Heavenly Dao that I won’t covet your possessions in the future!” Yu Yourong raised her hand to the heavens, making a vow gesture.

However, Yang Chen sneered disdainfully.

“Even a vow to the Heavenly Dao can be broken! Not to mention, you might not personally act, but you can always have other elders do it for you! Holy Lord, stop trying to play word games with me! My request is simple. You just need to let me imprint a seal onto your primordial spirit, and I’ll release you immediately!”
