Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 387: Settling Karma

The fourth area trembled as endless heavenly pressure enveloped the entire region.

All Cultivators felt that terrifying oppressive force, suffocating them.

Meanwhile, outside.

The entire Mortal Realm began to shake as well.

Countless strong beings emerged from their caves and looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Star Wasteland.

"A Heavenly decree of prohibition? It’s been thousands of years since we last saw one, hasn’t it? Is someone using a Divine Object, or has someone mastered a Divine Combat Technique?" An elder tore through space, stepping out from a minor world, murmuring to himself.

At the same time, more strong beings emerged, gazing towards the direction of the Heavenly Star Palace, puzzled in their hearts.

The sudden change disrupted their plans and predictions.

"A Divine Vein has appeared? Such unpredictable factors, who knows what impact they will have on the future? Someone has crossed a line they shouldn’t have. The Divine Realm probably can’t sit still anymore, though that’s good in a way. After being silent for a hundred thousand years, it’s time for a conclusion."

In a tavern within the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty of the Mortal Realm, an old coachman who looked like any ordinary mortal sat nursing a bowl of cheap rice wine, murmuring to himself while looking in the direction of the Heavenly Star Divine Palace.

The next moment, he drained the bowl of wine and walked out of the tavern.

With a single step, employing the Battle Shift Stars technique, he was already thousands of miles away.

If Xu Ping’an were to see this, he would be extremely surprised.

Wasn’t this old coachman the boozy old fellow he had enjoyed talking with back in the day?

At that time, Xu Ping’an had even brawled with others because the old man was beaten.

Yet, looking at him now, how could this guy be a frail old mortal?

"Wonder how the young fella is doing, that kid seems to be someone fated. I can’t even see through his fate. It looks like he’s got another factor to deal with now," the old coachman mused as he walked, chuckling to himself.

Passing by the Imperial Academy, a middle-aged scholar, who could be called a first-generation scholar, hurried out as if facing a formidable enemy.

"If I really wanted to make a move, you couldn’t stop me. It would be a different story if your teacher were here," the old coachman said with a smile, stepping forward and instantly vanishing from the capital.

The middle-aged scholar addressed by the old coachman was dripping with sweat.

"The old guy is still alive... I’m afraid the entire world is about to be thrown into chaos," the middle-aged scholar said, looking towards the direction the elder had left and then back at the Heavenly Star Palace, his eyes filled with a trace of confusion.

The silence was broken, order was about to return, and everything was set to be reshuffled.

The middle-aged scholar sighed and headed back into the academy.

...

Xu Ping’an had no knowledge of the events transpiring in the outside world. At the moment, he was watching Tang Xinyue in amazement.

Tang Xinyue was enveloped in an extremely powerful fire, her body starting to levitate.

Embraced by the Primeval Divine Fire, it was as if Tang Xinyue had been reborn.

Her body was continually reborn under the terrifying Divine Fire.

A rebirth through fire.

Tang Xinyue’s body was undergoing a transformation, morphing from a true mortal flesh into a Divine Grade Bloodline constitution.

Her already perfect body now became even more flawless and immaculate.

Above the cave, several chains appeared out of the void, wrapping around Tang Xinyue tightly.

"A heavenly prohibition? Are they not permitting the emergence of a Divine Grade Bloodline?" Xu Ping’an looked at the chains that bound Tang Xinyue, a look of surprise on his face.

These chains were imbued with a tremendous Power of Laws.

Now, as the chains locked Tang Xinyue up, they seemed to want to obliterate her.

Tang Xinyue was in a critical phase of her transformation, and under the pressure of the heavenly prohibition, her body started to show signs of breaking apart.

Yes, the pressure of Dao Principles was forbidding the successful transformation of Tang Xinyue’s Divine Grade Bloodline.

"Ah..." Tang Xinyue let out a painful scream.

The Power of Dao Principles was too strong, and at this moment, Tang Xinyue seemed unable to bear it, showing an extremely pained expression on her face.

If the Divine transformation couldn’t be completed, it was likely that Tang Xinyue would perish completely.

Xu Ping’an had gone to great lengths to help Tang Xinyue reach this step.

And now it was going to be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao?

How could Xu Ping’an possibly allow it?

"Hmph, I don’t care about your Heavenly Dao, this is a Divine Body I’ve helped to cast. Did you even ask for my permission to try to destroy it?" Xu Ping’an snorted coldly.

Immediately, a Thunder Devouring Sword appeared in his hand.

Without another word, he struck with his sword.

This sword was filled with an incredibly terrifying Chaotic Thunderous Sword Qi, slashing directly at those chains.

"Clang!"

The chains were directly severed, and the heavenly shackles oppressing Tang Xinyue immediately became somewhat smaller.

Effective?

Xu Ping’an was instantly overjoyed and lifted his sword to strike again.

The Thunder Devouring Sword also seemed to exert immense power, particularly strong in the face of the terrifying heavenly edict.

Chains were continually being cut through.

The pressure on Tang Xinyue’s body suddenly lessened significantly, and her Divine Body continued to transform.

Seeing this, Xu Ping’an also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lucky to have the Thunder Devouring Sword, a legendary Divine Artifact innately suppressing the heavenly chains.

Without it, an ordinary Immortal Sword would likely not even budge these heavenly chains.

"Thank you," Tang Xinyue opened her eyes, looked at Xu Ping’an beside her, and expressed her gratitude with two words.

"No need, you’re also considered my woman to some extent, and besides, considering the price I paid, if you had failed, wouldn’t I have been at a great loss?" Xu Ping’an said.

Tang Xinyue, however, was rendered speechless.

Since when was she his woman?

And even if she was his woman, why only half?

But everything was far from over, just when Xu Ping’an thought the shackles on Tang Xinyue had vanished.

More than a dozen chains extended from the void, this time not aimed at Tang Xinyue, but at Xu Ping’an himself.

"Looking for me?" Xu Ping’an instantly became furious.

Just who set these heavenly rules, sensing a threat from him and seeking to snuff him out?

"Hmph, thinking of erasing me? This bit of Heavenly Dao power is not enough," Xu Ping’an sneered.

This power of Heavenly Dao, though strong, was insignificant to Xu Ping’an, who had been an Immortal Emperor in his previous life.

Even now, this Heavenly Dao power was formidable to him,

but it was roughly equivalent to the newly comprehended Dao Principle power of a Tenth Rank Primordial Immortal Realm expert.

"Be extinguished!"

With a loud cry from Xu Ping’an, the Thunder Devouring Sword burst forth to its limits.

One sword strike swooped out, like a startled swan passing through the sky, causing heaven and earth to lose their color.

Bang!

All chains were completely severed.

The heavenly rules shattered, the pressure vanished.

Having done all this, Xu Ping’an too seemed to have drained all his energy and collapsed into the Primordial True Spirit Pool Water.

"Damn it, that sword strike drained all my True Yuan," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

At this moment, he was completely devoid of strength.

"Hum!"

Just then, Tang Xinyue completed her entire transformation, her Divine Might vast and imposing, with the Primeval Divine Fire covering her entire body, capable of burning everything in the world.

At the same time, a tremendously immense pressure emanated from Tang Xinyue, shaking heaven and earth.

Eighth Rank!

At this moment, Tang Xinyue stepped into the Eighth Rank Cultivation, advancing directly to the Eighth Rank Third Layer Realm.

"So strong!"

Xu Ping’an, observing Tang Xinyue who seemed like a divine being descended in the void, showed a look of astonishment in his eyes.

The current Tang Xinyue was very strong, capable of annihilating him at his peak with just a flick of her finger.

It seemed the transformation of her Divine Vein had made her incredibly mighty.

Eighth Rank Third Layer, already comparable to the average Eighth Rank Peak, if not stronger.

"Hum!"

Tang Xinyue’s figure flashed and she appeared right beside Xu Ping’an.

A powerful Soul Power lifted Xu Ping’an up, and his body gradually floated.

"What are you doing?" Xu Ping’an suddenly felt something was amiss as Tang Xinyue looked at him with complex emotions, making him uneasy.

"Xu Ping’an, I originally gave you the bloodline of the Chaotic Flame to repay the debt owed to your mother for saving me, but then you saved me again, yet our fates are not entwined. I have great responsibilities to bear, and affairs of men and women hold no possibility for me. So to compensate you, I will give you something as a token to sever the karma between us," Tang Xinyue said seriously.

After speaking, she took out a Jade Seal.

"What is this... Jade Seal?"

Xu Ping’an asked, puzzled.
