Chapter 258 The Truth of Inheritance
Ye Shuli felt dizzy, as if her body had been swept into a huge vortex.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself and Jiang Ye in a strange space.
It was pitch black all around, with only a faint glow underfoot, as if stepping on a galaxy.
An ancient and mysterious aura permeated the air, inspiring awe.
"Is this the filming location for The Lost Tomb? Are we going to become tomb raiders?" Jiang Ye broke the silence, trying to ease the tension with his usual humor.
Ye Shuli had no time for banter with him. She felt the surrounding restrictive forces growing stronger, as if an invisible hand was controlling everything.
She took a deep breath, focused her mind, and tried again to use the inherited power within her body.
"I refuse to believe it! God is really that cruel, isn't he? You just wait!" Ye Shuli roared inwardly.
However, this time the power of inheritance seemed to be in hibernation, showing no reaction whatsoever.
"Damn it, it failed at the crucial moment? This power of inheritance is so unreliable!" Ye Shuli couldn't help but complain.
Jiang Ye followed closely behind her, his hand carefully holding the hem of Ye Shuli's clothes, afraid that they would get separated if he didn't.
He could sense Ye Shuli's anxiety and resentment, and he knew that she was under tremendous pressure.
"Li'er, don't rush, take it slow. There's always a way out. If things really don't work out, we'll fight our way out!" Jiang Ye tried to comfort her, his tone carrying a hint of unruliness.
Ye Shuli glared at him, annoyed. "Do you think this is a game of whack-a-mole? This is a restriction, not something you can break with a single punch."
Although she said that, Ye Shuli still felt a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, Jiang Ye would be there to support and encourage her.
"Am I really going to be trapped here? I'm not willing to accept this. I still have so many things to do. I can't just give up like this!" Ye Shuli's heart was filled with resentment, which was reflected in her determined eyes.
Jiang Ye looked at her, his eyes full of encouragement, "Li'er, I believe in you, you can definitely do it! You're my superwoman, you can do anything!"
Ye Shuli took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and sank her consciousness deep into her body, trying to establish a connection with the power of inheritance.
Suddenly, she felt her consciousness encounter an invisible barrier, as if something was blocking her way.
"What is this?" Ye Shuli was startled. She tried to break through the barrier, but found it to be incredibly sturdy and unshakeable.
"It seems that this inherited power is not as simple as I imagined." Ye Shuli opened her eyes.
"What's wrong, Li'er?" Jiang Ye asked with concern.
Ye Shuli shook her head without speaking. She closed her eyes again and began to try to communicate more deeply with the power of inheritance.
Just then, she suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation within the power of inheritance, as if something was about to awaken...
A strange energy surge burst forth from Ye Shuli's body, like a sleeping dragon finally awakening.
She suddenly opened her eyes, which gleamed with golden light, and a confident smile curved her lips.
"Ha, I've finally found you, hidden skill!"
It turns out that during her in-depth communication with the power of inheritance, Ye Shuli unexpectedly discovered a hidden skill—"Restriction Breaking".
This skill can dissolve the surrounding restrictive forces; it's practically tailor-made for her!
"It's time to show off my real skills!" Ye Shuli whispered, and without hesitation, she unleashed "Restriction Break".
In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from her, illuminating the entire dark space.
This light, like the dawn breaking, dispelled all the gloom and brought the first glimmer of hope.
The surrounding restrictive forces dissipated rapidly under the light, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
"Wow, the special effects are amazing!" Jiang Ye exclaimed in disbelief.
However, before they could celebrate for long, a cold voice suddenly rang out: "You think you can escape my grasp like this? How naive!"
The leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance reappeared, emerging from the darkness like a ghost with his subordinates.
"Boss, it's these two brats who ruined our plans!" A henchman with a pointed face pointed at Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye and said viciously.
"Hmph, they won't listen to reason, so they'll have to suffer the consequences!" A ruthless glint flashed in the alliance leader's eyes. "Take them down!"
The alliance members' attacks came like a tidal wave, with various spiritual energy techniques intertwined to form an impenetrable attack net that enveloped Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.
"Li'er, back to back, let's fight!" Jiang Ye pulled Ye Shuli over, and the two stood back to back, ready to meet the challenge.
A glint of excitement flashed in Ye Shuli's eyes. "Just what I wanted! It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. Today, I'll show them what real strength is!"
Amidst the clash of swords and the swirl of spiritual energy, the two men, like two ferocious wild beasts, charged left and right through the enemy ranks, unstoppable.
Jiang Ye's attacks were swift as the wind, and Ye Shuli's moves were unpredictable. The two cooperated perfectly, causing the alliance members to retreat one after another.
"Damn it! How is this possible!" The alliance leader stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the sight before him.
Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye fought side by side, their figures shining brightly in the light, like gods descending to earth, invincible.
Ye Shuli took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes, "Jiang Ye, are you ready?"
Jiang Ye's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Of course, my queen!"
"Take the move!"
With a delicate shout, Ye Shuli formed hand seals, and the power of her inheritance surged forth, transforming into a huge golden phoenix phantom behind her.
The phoenix raised its head and let out a deafening cry. With a flap of its wings, thousands of golden feathers transformed into sharp blades, raining down on the alliance members.
"Holy crap, Li'er, your skills are so cool! It's like Phoenix Legend has come back to life!" Jiang Ye was dazzled by the sight and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!" Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him, but her hands didn't slow down at all.
Wherever the golden feathers passed, alliance members collapsed to the ground as if made of paper.
Screams and wails rose and fell, and the scene was chaotic.
The alliance leader watched as his men fell like wheat being harvested, and his face turned deathly pale.
He never imagined that this seemingly weak woman would possess such terrifying power.
"Damn it! Where did this monster come from?!" the Alliance leader gritted his teeth.
Jiang Ye seized the opportunity, his figure moving like a ghost through the enemy ranks, his long sword flashing, sword energy crisscrossing, each strike accurately hitting the enemy's vital points.
While fighting, he didn't forget to joke around, "Li'er, watch me perform 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to One' for you!"
Ye Shuli's lips curled up slightly. This guy is actually quite reliable when it matters.
During a lull in the fighting, their eyes met unintentionally.
On the smoke-filled battlefield, their eyes, like twinkling stars in the night sky, attracted and illuminated each other.
Jiang Ye looked at Ye Shuli with deep affection.
Ye Shuli returned his gaze, her eyes filled with tenderness, "You're not bad either, like a protector of flowers. Although you're a bit silly, you're quite reliable when it matters."
This brief moment of ambiguity allowed the two to experience a touch of warmth and sweetness amidst the fierce battle.
It was as if the whole world had shrunk down to just the two of them, relying on each other and protecting each other.
Just then, Ye Shuli suddenly felt the power of her inheritance surge within her body once more, and an even more powerful force was about to erupt...
"Jiang Ye," Ye Shuli said solemnly, "Are you ready? I'm about to unleash my ultimate move!"
"Li'er, bring it on! My heart is ready!" Jiang Ye patted his chest, looking excited.
He knew that Ye Shuli's "ultimate move" would be earth-shattering!
Without further hesitation, Ye Shuli raised her hands above her head and muttered incantations.
Ancient incantations were chanted from her lips, seemingly carrying a mysterious power from antiquity, echoing throughout the space.
In an instant, the world changed color, and the wind and clouds surged.
Ye Shuli's body was enveloped in a dazzling light, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, radiating a brilliance that was too dazzling to look directly at.
"Holy crap! That's so dazzling! It's blinding my titanium alloy eyes!" Jiang Ye quickly covered his eyes with his hands, unable to help but complain.
As the light faded, Ye Shuli's figure reappeared before everyone.
At this moment, she was like a goddess descending to earth, majestic and awe-inspiring.
"Feel the rage from ancient times!" Ye Shuli shouted, and the power of inheritance transformed into a golden pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
The golden beam of light exploded in the air, transforming into countless golden lightning bolts, like divine punishment descending, crashing down upon the leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance.
"No! This is impossible!" The alliance leader was terrified and desperately tried to dodge, but the golden lightning was too fast, and he had nowhere to escape.
After a loud bang, the alliance leader was struck by golden lightning and fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, his fate unknown.
"Boss!" Upon seeing this, the alliance members were terrified and scattered like birds and beasts.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Jiang Ye flashed forward, chasing after them like a cheetah. His long sword transformed into streaks of cold light, slaying the fleeing alliance members one by one.
"Li'er, all done!" Jiang Ye returned to Ye Shuli's side and said, as if to take credit.
Ye Shuli smiled slightly and nodded gently, "Well done!"
With the fall of the Alliance leader, the truth about the succession was finally revealed.
It turns out that this power of inheritance was left behind by a powerful spirit lord in ancient times, and only those with special bloodlines can inherit it.
Ye Shuli is a descendant of this Spirit Lord. The power of inheritance within her bloodline has awakened, granting her unprecedented power and making her a legendary figure in the Spirit Realm.
Jiang Ye looked at the radiant Ye Shuli, his heart filled with pride and honor.
He knew that his Li'er was destined to become a shining star, illuminating the entire spirit world.
The two hugged each other tightly, enjoying the joy of victory.
However, deep down, Ye Shuli felt a faint sense of unease.
While the power of inheritance has unlocked most of the secrets, there are still some subtle details waiting to be explored.
Moreover, her power might attract new enemies...
“Jiang Ye,” Ye Shuli suddenly spoke up, “it seems we are… being watched.”
