Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

"A... A Spirit Emperor Powerhouse!" The elder's eyes were glued to Lady Ya, filled with utter terror. From the phantom of the Nine-tailed White Fox behind her, he felt the threat of death.

"R-Run... Run for your lives!" In an instant, the Martial Artists of the Snow Wolf and Vajra Ape Races within the Bai Family compound dropped their weapons and fled for the exit in a mad panic. A Spirit Emperor Powerhouse... A Martial Artist of that level was simply not someone they could ever hope to fight.

The elder shot Lady Ya a look, then turned and bolted without a second thought. The other Spirit Emperor Powerhouses followed suit, running faster than they ever had in their entire lives!

"Hmph. Trying to leave?" Lady Ya's gaze turned icy as she watched their retreating figures. "Do you take the Fox Race for a place you can come and go as you please? All of you will stay!" With a sharp clench of her hands, the space before her suddenly twisted, forming a cage of distorted air that trapped every last Martial Artist inside.

'Control over the Power of Space... she's truly a Spirit Emperor Powerhouse!' A corner of Shen Haoran's mouth twitched. He knew Lady Ya's strength would skyrocket after awakening her Bloodline Power, but he never imagined she would leap several entire Tiers. 'This is just too heaven-defying.'

Feeling the space warp around them, the elder and the other Martial Artists fell into despair. Only a Spirit Emperor Powerhouse could wield the Power of Space. This meant that if their captor didn't want them to leave, they never would.

"Your Excellency, we are members of the Shadow Demon Wolf Clan! We ask that you show mercy. My Shadow Demon Wolf Clan will be sure to remember this kindness!" By now, the elder had no choice but to plead for his life. However, everyone else could tell he was merely dropping the Shadow Demon Wolf Clan's name to intimidate her, hoping she would be wary of their power.

"Oh, the Shadow Demon Wolf Clan, you say?" Lady Ya scoffed. "So what? Anyone who moves against my Fox Race is an enemy. And they all deserve to die!"

"My lady, the Shadow Demon Wolf Clan is one of the nine great houses of the Demon Race. I urge you to reconsider. You'll gain nothing by killing me!" the elder threatened through gritted teeth.

"Hmph. Merely one of the bottom three among the nine great clans. You think I would be afraid of that?" Lady Ya sneered. With a sudden clench of her elegant hand, the distorted spatial cage instantly tightened, beginning to crush the Martial Artists trapped within.

"Stop! We can talk this over!" the elder yelled, feeling the crushing pressure from all sides. Lady Ya, however, ignored him completely.

"You'll regret this!" Seeing that Lady Ya had no intention of heeding his pleas, the elder let out a furious roar as his body began to swell. In that moment, he was actually trying to self-destruct!

"Hmph!" Upon seeing this, Lady Ya just snorted. With a single thought, the spatial cage collapsed, instantly pulverizing the Martial Artists inside. Crimson blood rained down, quickly staining the earth red. The elder and the other Spirit Emperor Tier Martial Artists were all annihilated in that single moment.

*HISS...* Seeing this, everyone from the Bai Family, along with Shen Haoran, couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. 'So this is the power of a Spirit Emperor Powerhouse? It truly is immense!'

Silence fell over the area. After a moment, Lady Ya swayed, her aura rapidly diminishing as she started to fall backward. Shen Haoran immediately rushed over to catch her. By now, her power had plummeted to the Spirit Aspect Peak. Her aura had finally stabilized at that level, but her body was still left extremely weak.

"I was just borrowing the power of the Nine-tailed White Fox, but my body still isn't quite accustomed to it. Thankfully, I was able to deal with all of them!" Lady Ya's face was a bit pale, but having resolved the Fox Race's crisis, she heaved a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that Lady Ya was only a little weak and not seriously injured, Shen Haoran finally let out a sigh of relief. He then fed a few Spirit Revitalizing Pills to her to help her recover her Spiritual Power. But Shen Haoran was still in a state of shock. Lady Ya had merely awakened the power of the Nine-tailed White Fox within her body. Although her strength didn't truly reach the Spirit Emperor Level, it had still skyrocketed from the Spirit Pupil Tier straight to the Tier Nine Spirit Aspect Peak. That rate of progress was nothing to sneeze at.

This couldn't help but make Shen Haoran a little envious. After he had awakened his Chaos Divine Body, it hadn't granted him a single shred of instant power. Instead, it required him to devour and perform the Refinement of Heaven and Earth Spirits just to gain strength. 'Compared to Lady Ya, we're worlds apart. It really is like the old saying, "comparisons will be the death of you!"'

Just as Shen Haoran was feeling a pang of resentment, Lady Ya's Spiritual Power quickly recovered with the help of the Spirit Revitalizing Pills. The members of the Bai Family now gathered around her with expressions of pure reverence. The vision of the Nine-tailed White Fox had completely subjugated them. At this moment, they no longer cared that Lady Ya was half-human, half-demon. All they knew was that she was the Saintess of their Fox Race!

Lady Ya gazed at the Fox Race Elders and her clansmen, a new sense of responsibility welling up inside her. 'With great power comes great responsibility... I suppose this is what that feels like.' Moreover, she had promised the Nine-tailed White Fox in the Cold Pool that she would restore the former glory of the Fox Race. And there was also... Lady Ya turned to look at Shen Haoran, a trace of tenderness in her eyes.

Afterward, under Lady Ya's leadership, the members of the Bai Family quickly cleaned up the battlefield. The Clan Leaders of the Snow Wolf Race and the Vajra Ape Race, along with many of their elites, had all died here. Of course, the Fox Race had paid an enormous price for this victory. Gazing upon the bodies of her clansmen, Lady Ya bowed deeply. She would engrave the memory of this debt of blood in her heart.

...

Night fell. Shen Haoran stood on a rooftop, his gaze falling upon the Bai Family compound below, which was now little more than a ruin. A flicker of sorrow passed through his eyes; it reminded him of his own Shen Family.

"What are your plans, now?" While Shen Haoran was lost in his grief, Lady Ya appeared at his side, her voice soft.

"I don't know. Maybe try to find my way home," Shen Haoran replied, shaking his head gently. As long as the great feud of the Shen Family was not avenged and Fallen Valley was not annihilated, he could not know a day of peace.

"In that case, why not come with us to Central City?" Lady Ya suggested.

"Central City?" Shen Haoran repeated, looking puzzled.

"Central City is the center of the Eastern Domain and the capital of the Demon Race. All the most powerful races gather there. The Fox Race was once a dominant power in Central City, and now, I'm going back to rebuild it!" Lady Ya said in a deep voice, her gaze fixed on the distant East. Her lovely eyes were filled with an ambition that made Shen Haoran look at her in surprise.

"Why don't you come with me? I need your help!" After a moment, Lady Ya turned her gaze to Shen Haoran, her eyes filled with hopeful expectation...
