Chapter 580 - Promise Me, You Must Come Find Me! [Additional Update]
He Yiming raised his hand, casting a Fifth-Rank Formation that concealed all auras and images.
After all, the upcoming task was too astonishing!
"Divine Ability!"
"Spiritual Point Transforms into Wood!!!"
With a thought, He Yiming pointed in Nangong Maran's direction in the void.
"Ah! Ah!" Nangong Maran immediately screamed in misery. She then lowered her head to look, dumbstruck.
The Nascent Soul within Nangong Maran's body had actually transformed into a wooden sculpture!
But...
It was merely a thin layer of Spiritual Wood covering the exterior of her Nascent Soul.
However, this thin layer of Spiritual Wood contained unimaginable power!
"Divine... Divine Ability?" Nangong Maran was dumbfounded.
The man before her was merely at the Heavenly Pill Realm!
Yet he actually possessed genuine Divine Abilities?
What was a Divine Ability?
The most terrifying aspect of Divine Abilities was their uniqueness!
They could disregard all laws and even act unreasonably.
What was even more astonishing was that Divine Abilities grew stronger as one's cultivation advanced!
Cultivation techniques of cultivators often reached a certain level, at which point they would be replaced by more powerful techniques.
The reason was simple!
Because these techniques had limitations!
Once one's cultivation breakthrough exceeded the limitations of these techniques, they became useless, only serving to restrict the cultivator's power!
However, Divine Abilities were different!
As one's strength grew, the power of Divine Abilities would become increasingly stronger. They were even praised as...
Infinite!
Furthermore, there was a third, most terrifying aspect of Divine Abilities!
It was known as...
Only Divine Abilities could counter Divine Abilities!
"What have you done?" Nangong Maran shouted in fear.
"I used a Divine Ability on your Nascent Soul."
"If you spread my matters, disobey the commands of me and Lirui, or do anything that harms me or Lirui, even if it's just secretly plotting something detrimental to either of us!"
"This Divine Ability will erupt! First, it will turn your Nascent Soul into wood, and then your entire body!"
...
He Yiming's voice turned cold.
"What?" Nangong Maran was aghast.
Did this mean she would spend her life as a slave to He Yiming and Nangong Lirui?
"No, you can't treat me like this!" Nangong Maran screamed in terror, even kneeling on the ground to beg.
"What you need to do is completely obey all of Lirui's commands and protect her!"
"Until the day I come to find Lirui, I will grant you your freedom!"
"But if you can't do it! If something happens to Lirui, you'll be the first to die!"
...
He Yiming's voice turned icy.
With the release of the Divine Ability, Nangong Maran had no ability to resist.
Unless Nangong Maran could find another Divine Ability to counter his.
Or perhaps, the Nascent Soul powerhouses might have a way?
However, He Yiming had asked around, and the Nangong family didn't have any Nascent Soul powerhouses!
Not to mention whether these normal Nascent Soul powerhouses could even interact with Divine Ability power, even if they could, it would certainly come at a great cost! It might even cause severe damage to themselves!
Would a Nascent Soul powerhouse pay such a heavy price to help someone like Nangong Maran?
"I understand. I will definitely protect my niece Lirui!" Nangong Maran quickly answered respectfully.
This meant she would be a servant for three years!
But three years was acceptable!
After all, having reached the Nascent Soul realm, Nangong Maran's lifespan was at least tens of thousands of years!
What were mere three years?
Of course, Nangong Maran wouldn't give up trying to find a way to remove this Divine Ability power!
If it could be removed, hehe...
Although Nangong Maran wouldn't dare kill Nangong Lirui, she could make Nangong Lirui uncomfortable and miserable in secret. That wouldn't be too difficult.
Of course, the premise was that she could remove this Divine Ability that turned her into a wooden sculpture!
"Pseudo Divine Ability! Life Without End!" He Yiming raised his hand, unleashing the powerful Life Without End!
Under the green light, Nangong Maran saw her right hand, which had shattered, rapidly recovering, and even her seriously injured Nascent Soul was slowly recovering over half of its strength.
At least, there shouldn't be any problem with returning to the Upper Realm.
"Pseudo Divine Ability? Who is he? Why does he possess such incredible power so effortlessly?" Nangong Maran was once again greatly shocked.
She even began to doubt whether she could really remove the Divine Ability power from her body.
"Darn, I can't see anything!" Huo Tianya only saw He Yiming use Susano'o to crush Nangong Maran's Nascent Soul transformation. Then, He Yiming set up a concealment formation, making it impossible to perceive anything.
However, the formation dissipated shortly after.
He saw that Nangong Maran was already respectfully following beside Nangong Lirui.
What the heck?
Could it be that this mysterious senior truly defeated the Nascent Soul powerhouse from the Upper Realm with just Heavenly Pill Realm cultivation?
Was that possible?
Was that reasonable?
Wasn't this guy just talking nonsense?
"I, Huo Tianya, have long known that Senior's Divine Abilities are peerless and that victory was certain!" Huo Tianya stepped forward and thanked He Yiming with a bow.
"..." He Yiming glanced at Huo Tianya and didn't bother to respond.
Instead, he led Nangong Lirui to the coordinates of the formation that led to the Upper Realm.
"Take care of yourself!" He Yiming looked at Nangong Lirui and said gently.
"Okay!"
Nangong Lirui nodded.
"Niece Lirui, come with me!" Nangong Maran reached out respectfully and stood on the formation disc, addressing Nangong Lirui.
Step by step, Nangong Lirui walked up to Nangong Maran, but suddenly, she turned around and flew into He Yiming's arms.
"Promise me, you must come find me!"
"I promise you!"
After their final farewell, Nangong Lirui turned around three times before standing on the formation disc.
Immediately, Nangong Maran crushed a spatial talisman, and their figures vanished from the spot.
"..." He Yiming stared at the formation disc for a while, then turned around and casually sat on the seat of the Chief of the Prison Saint's Residence.
"This..." Huo Tianya's expression darkened, but he didn't dare say much.
What could he do?
Even the Upper Realm powerhouse, Nangong Maran, who had come for Nangong Lirui, couldn't defeat the mysterious senior in front of him. What did he have to fight against him?
"Cough, Senior, I wonder what business Senior has by staying here? If you have any orders, this junior will surely comply!" Huo Tianya cautiously inquired, his tone full of respect.
"..."
The five Hall Masters standing beside Ling Tianyu all exchanged glances, their expressions filled with contempt.
A Chief of the Prison Saint's Residence, the dignified ruler of this place, was actually such a...
Incredibly disgraceful!
Absolutely embarrassing!
"Is that so? Then you better die!" He Yiming's voice turned faintly sarcastic.
"Uh, Senior, this joke can't be taken seriously!" Huo Tianya felt a chill down his spine and quickly replied.
"Does it seem like I'm joking to you?"
"I'm the one you've been looking for, He Yiming! I'm the one you, the Chief of the Prison Saint's Residence, have sent people to find several times, even collaborating with the Deputy Dean of the Hao Heaven Academy, Gu Hang, to try to kill!" He Yiming's voice ended, and with it, his aura erupted, pressing down on the entire Prison Saint's Residence.
Seeing this scene, Ling Tianyu suddenly smiled wickedly. With a glance, he retreated one step, and along with the five Hall Masters, they vanished from the spot...
