Chapter12
410 Words
The Heavenly Pearl pierced through the endless void. Crossing countless domains, traversing the Myriad Realms.
Passing through shattered worlds and forgotten lands.
For ten long years, it carried the remnant soul of its master.
Searching, Waiting, Enduring.
Yet the universe had changed.
The death of the Celestial Monarch had thrown the Nine Heavens into chaos. After the appearance of the Seven Blood Eyes, the Heavenly Courts joined forces to strengthen the Heavenly Boundary.
The Heavenly Gates connecting the realms were sealed one after another, ancient formations that had not been activated for millions of years awakened.
The barrier separating the higher realms from the mortal worlds became stronger than ever before. It was as if the heavens themselves were trying to prevent something from returning.
The Heavenly Pearl arrived before the reinforced boundary. It paused.
The golden light surrounding it flickered weakly. Within the pearl, Xiao Chen's fragmented soul remained unconscious.
The Heavenly Pearl had little energy remaining.
After preserving its master's soul for ten years and traversing countless realms, its reserves were nearly exhausted.
Yet it did not stop.
The pearl suddenly released a brilliant golden radiance.
Its remaining power erupted.
BOOM!
The reinforced Heavenly Boundary trembled violently. Cracks spread across the barrier.
The ancient seals shook as a small passage was forcibly opened. The Heavenly Pearl immediately shot through the gap.
But the cost was immense. The moment it crossed into the lower realms, the golden light surrounding the pearl dimmed significantly.
Its aura weakened, Its power was nearly depleted.
Still...
It continued forward following the faint resonance of a bloodline. A bloodline hidden deep within the mortal world.
A trace of ancient Phoenix Blood, the only vessel capable of balancing the terrifying Primordial Bloodline carried by its master.
The Heavenly Pearl descended through layers of heaven and earth,
Across mountains, across rivers. Across kingdoms.
Its speed became slower and slower, the light surrounding it grew fainter with each passing moment.
Finally—
It sensed its target within the Great Zhou Dynasty inside the Imperial Palace. A young prince lay upon a bed his face was pale, his heartbeat was weak. The poison had already reached his heart. Death was only moments away ,the royal physicians had already given up.
Even the servants outside the room were preparing for the worst, the Crown Prince was taking his final breaths.
At that exact moment—
A streak of golden light descended from the heavens.
The Heavenly Pearl had arrived.
