Chapter 858 - The Wheel of Karma Turns, What Goes Around Eventually Comes Around!

“You!” Yang Yang was in utter disbelief.

Yun Xiao had frozen him solid with a single stroke of his sword. Now, that three-foot azure blade shrank into a Flying Sword!

“He’s going for the kill!” Yang Yang broke out in a cold sweat, trembling all over.

Fortunately, a crescent Flying Sword shot past Yang Yang’s side. It was none other than the Sword Soul wielded by his beloved!

“Don’t touch him!” Liu Liu's harsh cry echoed as the peculiar crescent Flying Sword twisted unpredictably, continuously circling and striking toward Yun Xiao with unfathomable movements.

Just as Yun Xiao transformed his Palm Sword into a Flying Sword, he caught a glimpse of the howling orange crescent and, without a word, casually launched a streak of azure light from his hand.

WHOOSH!

That speck of azure light, traveling a narrow path meant for only the nimblest of Flying Swords, seemed to paint a picture mid-air—a vast snowy landscape, where an azure snowflake cut across the sky, unfolding into a dream-like array of colors...

“Soaring Snow Stream!” Si Ji, stunned, called out the name of this Flying Sword technique, unmistakably a core sword art of the Harmony Divine Palace.

It was not just a beautiful name; the picturesque path it traced was equally exquisite.

With Si Ji’s discerning eye, she saw everything clearly. Be it the Ice Cloud Sword Ender or Soaring Snow Stream, Yun Xiao had executed both techniques with divine finesse, his mastery reaching the pinnacle!

Normally, this level of proficiency was unattainable without a century of diligent practice!

Everything happened in a flash, leaving no time for Si Ji to ponder further.

The Soaring Snow Stream, like a beautiful snowflake, traced a simple path, far less unpredictable than the orange crescent. Yet, it precisely met the curved edge of the opposing blade head-on!

KLANG! KLANG! KLANG!

The two Sword Souls collided in the air, emitting a piercing sound. Astonishingly, they didn’t separate upon impact but intertwined like the mating ritual of two birds.

The azure Flying Sword struck the center of the orange crescent, and then with a flick, twirled it around like a pen on a fingertip!

The two mighty Sword Souls tangled, hurtling towards each other with reckless abandon.

“You?!” Liu Liu’s body tensed. She exerted her utmost strength to control her Flying Sword. But it was as if a giant beast had clamped down on it, and she couldn’t pull it free.

“Be careful!” Liu Liu jolted as a cold sweat broke out. The intertwined Sword Souls were now hurtling towards the frozen Yang Yang.

At this moment, Yang Yang was frantically summoning his tribulation power, using the flames of the Great Solar Blaze Body to burn away the frosty tribulation power on his body.

As the frost shattered off his body, his frustrations found release. But in the next moment, Liu Liu's scream of terror sent shivers down his spine!

He looked up sharply, his face breaking into a cold sweat! The azure gleam, dragging the orange crescent, instantaneously swooped in front of him.

Yang Yang instinctively raised his hands to shield his head. But in that instant, the azure light fiercely flung the orange crescent downwards!

“No!!” Liu Liu screamed, tears streaming as she tried to regain control of the orange crescent.

However, the slick technique of the Heaven Burial Sword Soul was too smooth and powerful. By the time she regained control of the sword, the orange crescent was violently spinning back, crashing into Yang Yang’s groin.

“GAHHH!” Yang Yang's face turned the color of liver, he let out a heart-wrenching scream. When he turned around in shock, he saw the orange crescent had carried away his one bird and two stones, with blood spraying across the sky!

He felt a sharp pain, not just physical pain but pain in his heart as well.

𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

“No! No... Nonono...!” Yang Yang's face twisted in agony, reaching down, finding nothing but blood and excruciating pain—empty, utterly empty.

Yun Xiao had calculated the angle too well, shearing everything off cleanly... nothing left.

“Darling!” Liu Liu screamed. She retrieved her sword with one hand, clutching the bloody, fallen comrade of her betrothed with the other.

Standing dumbfounded in the distance, she realized from the blood on Yang Yang's trousers to what was in her hand.

“KYAAAAH!" With a piercing scream, Liu Liu threw her Sword Soul away. The sword remained suspended in midair, while its

intimate

partner dropped into the magma below, bursting into flames and evaporating instantly...

“No!” Yang Yang screamed helplessly, forced to watch as his treasures turned to ash. He spat out a mouthful of black blood and staggered backward, dizzy and nearly fainting.

As he grappled with despair and agony, he continued to vomit blood, his body numbing as if the pain of his loss was 1,000 times worse than death itself. No one could understand the catastrophe he was enduring...

Around him, the twenty-odd disciples of the Blazing Yang Sect stood petrified, eyes wide and teeth chattering.

“Liu Liu’s curved sword... it took away Yang Yang’s... it took

it

away...”

“This, this, this...”

They were struck as if by lightning, nearly breaking into tears themselves.

They all realized what a joke this was for the Blazing Yang Sect, which had always mocked others as eunuchs, only for one of their own, right after a romantic proposal, to have his manhood sheared off by his woman’s hand.

Although everyone knew it was Yun Xiao’s doing, there was no denying that the curved blade that did the deed was Liu Liu’s own Sword Soul.

She had unwittingly destroyed the most precious part of her own future husband, and at a moment when there might have been a chance to salvage something, she had thrown it away, severing her man's roots forever...

In front of the entire Samsara Galaxy, their high-profile display of affection now resulted in a spectacle that left the other disciples of the Blazing Yang Sect feeling so humiliated they wanted to die.

“Brother Yang, ah, Brother Yang...”

They didn’t know what to do, numbly approaching Yang Yang.

“Go away! Go away! All of you, go away!” Yang Yang wailed, flailing his limbs and his hair disheveled, looking like a beggar, completely losing his earlier vigor and virility, his voice softening.

And Liu Liu, as if her soul was lost, floated in midair, watching her man’s miserable, defeated state—worse than death itself—and she too started crying...

“To mock the flaws of others may be satisfying. But always remember the wheel of karma turns, and what goes around comes around. When the same misfortune befalls you, you’ll realize that life demands compassion, to empathize and do unto others as you would have done unto you, for good deeds bring good karma.”

This calm voice arose from below.

Hearing Yun Xiao's words, the disciples of the Blazing Yang Sect felt even greater shame. Their faces burned with humiliation; they had once freely mocked others as eunuchs and slaves. And now, with Yang Yang reduced to the status they derided, their throats felt choked by their own scorn, leaving them speechless with bitterness.

Of course, while Yun Xiao spoke like this, he was not truly speaking from his personal experience, merely reflecting. With that, he reached out and pulled up the Blazing Yang Parent Flag.

The disciples of the Blazing Yang Sect were mentally shattered, unable to regain their composure. By the time they realized it, Yun Xiao had already descended and uprooted their foundation!

“Huh...?”

By the time they reacted, it was too late.

The flag Yun Xiao held was their Pledge of Allegiance.

“Stop...”

Before they could react, Yun Xiao tossed an Extreme Yin Child Flag into the Star Nexus. The small sphere plummeted into the nexus and suddenly transformed into an ice-blue flag!

From that moment, the entire celestial formation of the Blazing Yang Star underwent a revolutionary change. All the flames and storms were transformed into a tide of ice and snow. The red star visibly turned ice blue, freezing cold!

The Blazing Yang Star had been conquered and occupied!

“Brother Yang...”

The disciples of the Blazing Yang Sect nearly vomited blood at this sight. They stood frozen, like zombies.

A supposed slave from the Harmony Divine Palace had stepped on their faces and taken over the territory of the Blazing Yang Star, forcing them to bow down... This was a public humiliation of the highest order, and they all knew it. Their hearts felt numb.

“I will kill you!” Yang Yang, having faced one blow after another, snapped. His mind shattered, he charged towards Yun Xiao like a madman.

"Stop him!" Liu Liu cried out in alarm.

She, along with the other disciples of the Blazing Yang Sect, finally managed to restrain Yang Yang just as he reached Yun Xiao, his fury unchecked.

"Die! Die!" Yang Yang struggled, his face contorting as he screamed at Yun Xiao.

"Relax, I won't let you die," Yun Xiao, holding the Blazing Yang Parent Flag, patted Yang Yang's face and chuckled, "From now on, we're one and the same. Adjust your mindset, strive to conquer stars, and add glory to my carefree journey."

"In your dreams! Never!" Tears mixed with blood streamed down Yang Yang's face.

"Haha." Yun Xiao pinched Yang Yang's cheek, shaping his mouth into a circle. "Now that you're purified of worldly desires, less love, more action. The glory of my Extreme Yin Star depends on you. Put some spirit into it, brother."

Ignoring Yang Yang's heart-wrenching screams and sobs, Yun Xiao swaggered away.

"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, it's okay. We lost the Parent Flag, but it won't stop us from making the top 20..." a disciple of the Blazing Yang Sect said nervously.

"Go away! Go away! Ahh..." Yang Yang crouched on the ground, clutching his groin, then collapsed into Liu Liu's arms, utterly desolate.

"Darling, I, I..." Liu Liu was inconsolable, utterly helpless.

Seeing her, Yang Yang's gaze drifted downward to her flawless skin, her delicate figure, and the secrets he once thought were within easy reach—now seemed as distant as the heavens, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Ah!" Yang Yang pushed Liu Liu away and, clutching his head, fainted from his sobbing.

Even here, the situation was so intense; one could only imagine how rowdy things had gotten in the MIllion Starlight Palace...

Even Si Ji, observing all of Yun Xiao's ruthless actions, looked on with a puzzled expression.

"This kid is ferociously resolute at heart; no wonder he even dares..." The white-haired beauty with pink eyes watched Yun Xiao's departing figure, somewhat amused yet bewildered.

She was now somewhat eager to see what this youth would do next.

And Yun Xiao, no matter how loudly the Blazing Yang Star wailed, did not look back.

After all, he was in a hurry, rushing towards his next target.

Just then, Feng Yao contacted him through the Mortal Dust Devil Seed. "You need to come back fast; we're surrounded and can't hold on!"
