Chapter 838 Shell Shattering

In the deep, quiet forest, a sweet, gentle sound lingered in the night, rising and falling, endlessly enduring.

Sun Zhe knelt on the ground, his legs spread apart, gripping the soft, rolled-up hem of the skirt with force, sweat pouring down his body like rain, moving as if he were a tireless perpetual motion machine, furiously pulling and thrusting!

At this moment, he could feel an endless stream of power flowing into his body through the connection point, and he couldn’t control it.

Looking down at Yuan Xinyi, whose eyes had rolled back and was nearly fainting, Sun Zhe felt a wave of sympathy, but he couldn’t control his body and had to let it greedily absorb the Dao Transformation Fruit’s medicinal power.

He lost track of time.

Until he was drained, exhausted and had nothing left, Sun Zhe ended the fierce battle and collapsed onto Yuan Xinyi, falling into a deep sleep.

When Yuan Xinyi gradually regained her strength and woke up, it was nearly dawn.

“Hiss…”

Just a slight movement brought a sharp tearing pain that made her gasp.

She pushed Sun Zhe off herself, recalling the scenes from the previous night, her mind buzzing with disbelief.

“I didn’t expect, Yuan Xinyi’s first time… to be given away like this, inexplicably.”

“What was I thinking last night… how did I suddenly become like that?”

“Is the Pure Yang Holy Body truly irresistible?”

In an instant, her mind was in turmoil. She reached up to rub her forehead forcefully, then braved the pain to turn over and crawl up.

After getting up, tidying her clothes and hair, she looked at the naked Sun Zhe sleeping on the ground, her face gradually flushing red, unable to stop recalling the exhilarating taste of reaching the peak.

“This lousy guy can really be exhausting.”

She rolled her eyes irritatedly at little Sun Zhe, feeling tempted to give it a pinch as it looked like a wilting eggplant.

“It hurts so much, it’s all swollen…”

Yuan Xinyi painfully walked to the side, sat cross-legged, and began to focus on consolidating her cultivation.

“Last night, this guy absorbed nearly two-thirds of the Dao Transformation Fruit’s medicinal power, and I absorbed the rest… which helped me break through to Tier Five of the Soul Void Realm, solving the physique issue. With my current strength, if I encounter those Outer Domain bandits again, I will have the power to fight!”

She couldn’t help but glance at Sun Zhe, a touch of tenderness in her eyes, “The Pure Yang Holy Body indeed, it could even neutralize and absorb the Dao Transformation Fruit’s medicinal power, wasting not a bit.”

As she secretly marveled, Sun Zhe suddenly stretched, making a noise.

At the sound, Yuan Xinyi’s heart fluttered, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be meditating.

…

Upon waking, Sun Zhe immediately sought out Yuan Xinyi, seeing her sitting quietly in meditation, he didn’t disturb her, picked up his clothes from the ground, quickly dressed, then sat down nearby in a cross-legged position, eager to start checking his own cultivation.

In a mere moment, a misty aura emitted from his body, carrying an indescribable, mysterious Dao charm.

“This Dao Transformation Fruit truly defies the heavens, rapidly boosting cultivation without any side effects.”

At this moment, he could clearly feel his cultivation realm had reached Tier Nine Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

Just a small step away from Soul Void!

“Logically, the Dao Transformation Fruit’s medicinal power should continue to push me upwards, but after reaching Tier Nine, it stops… is it because of a bottleneck?”

Thinking of this, Sun Zhe stopped using his power, exhaled deeply, and then walked to Yuan Xinyi.

“Well, Miss Yuan…”

Yuan Xinyi’s eyelashes quivered as she opened her eyes, a flush appearing on her face, seeing Sun Zhe hesitating, she felt curious.

“What’s up with you?”

Sun Zhe scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I just wanted to ask, how can I breakthrough to the Soul Void Realm?”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xinyi paused, a bit uncertain, “You mean…”

Sun Zhe explained honestly, “I’m currently stuck at the bottleneck of Tier Nine of the Spirit Gathering Realm, unable to progress further.”

Yuan Xinyi looked at him with an odd expression, “So you’re still in the Spirit Gathering Realm?”

“Yes.”

For a moment, Yuan Xinyi was speechless, recalling how Sun Zhe had like a war god descended, swiftly killing two Outer World cultivators in the Soul Void Realm. She had thought his cultivation level far surpassed hers, yet surprisingly, he was just in the Spirit Gathering Realm!

“Defeating Soul Void with Spirit Gathering, that’s too unreasonable!”

The more she thought about it, the more bizarre it seemed, assuming Sun Zhe must have some powerful magical treasure in hand, she said, “Going from Spirit Gathering to Soul Void isn’t as hard as it seems. The first step is shell shattering.”

“What is shell shattering?”

Yuan Xinyi explained, “The sphere enveloping your Nascent Soul, you need to shatter it to release the Nascent Soul, that’s ‘breaking the shell.’

Afterwards, if your divine sense can merge with the Nascent Soul, and you can see the Elixir Field and Qi Sea more directly, you can use divine sense to control the Nascent Soul to mobilize spiritual power, thus exerting greater strength, then it’s considered Soul Void.

Sun Zhe committed her words to memory and said, “How can I shatter the shell?”

Yuan Xinyi said, “Normally, you rely on external force for help, like having another Soul Void Realm cultivator forcibly help you shatter the shell. But for this to happen, you need to absolutely trust this person, because they can kill you with a thought in this situation.”

Upon hearing it, Sun Zhe fell silent.

Currently, he could ask Yuan Xinyi for help, but as Yuan Xinyi mentioned, it requires absolute trust, because it means handing over his life.

“Is there another way to shatter the shell?”

Yuan Xinyi said, “If you cultivate your divine sense to influence physical objects, you can rely on yourself to shatter the shell.”

“As for methods to cultivate divine sense, there are many, and you need to explore them yourself.”

Sun Zhe pondered, then said, “How about you try helping me shatter the shell?”

Yuan Xinyi was rather surprised, “You trust me that much?”

Sun Zhe smiled, “Saying I trust you completely would be a lie, but I urgently need to break through; otherwise, the remaining Dao Transformation Fruit’s medicinal power will dissipate within me, wasting it.”

“If you want to try, I can try.”

“Then I’ll trouble you.”

Yuan Xinyi said no more, silently closing her eyes, gently emitted her divine sense linking with Sun Zhe’s divine sense.

Sun Zhe allowed her divine sense to enter his body, not resisting at all, making sure to stay relaxed.

In the next moment, a sharp pain emanated from his elixir field, suddenly he felt as if he were being seen through from the inside out.

“Miss Yuan, please go ahead.”

“Alright.”

Moments later.

“Mmm!”

Yuan Xinyi suddenly let out a cry of pain, her delicate body shuddered, quickly withdrawing her divine sense, looking up at Sun Zhe incredulously.

“Your shell is too hard, I can’t break it.”

“How can it be so hard? Technically, with my Soul Void Realm cultivation, breaking a Spirit Gathering Realm shell shouldn’t be difficult.”

“Mr. Ahgui, don’t move, I’ll try again.”

“Alright.”
