Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

She sprayed several mouthfuls of blood and collapsed to the ground in an instant, unable to rise again.

This was the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!

Even though its power had been weakened layer by layer, its force was unlike that of ordinary Heavenly Thunder or even Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Thunder.

Song Wanning forced herself to lift her head, but all she could see was the flashing Power of thunder and lightning obscuring her vision.

She twitched a finger, a trace of defiance flashing in her eyes.

’So what if it’s Divine Thunder?’

’I’m not afraid!’

After struggling several times, Song Wanning finally managed to climb to her feet.

"Big sister, are you all right?"

Outside the Divine Thunder, the anxious voices of the Golden Small Swords called out.

They tried to charge in and protect Song Wanning, but they couldn’t break through the encirclement at all, ramming about frantically in their desperation.

The Divine Thunder, however, had also ensnared her doppelganger, a clear sign of its ambition.

Song Wanning’s expression hardened. She coughed up another mouthful of blood as the Power of thunder and lightning coiled around her, the pain causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.

She beckoned to her doppelganger, and the two merged into one. Her sundered Divine Soul was strengthened once more, injecting a new surge of power into her.

At the same time, the body formed from Xirang was also imperceptibly strengthening her, making her physical form even more durable.

But beneath the Divine Thunder, it still wasn’t enough.

Song Wanning straightened her back and gazed toward the void.

Even through infinite obstacles, she seemed to see into the deepest depths of the sky.

"If you have the guts, then strike me dead! Otherwise, I am awakening this Dragon Spirit, and nothing will stop me!!!"

She drew her Longsword, her gaze defiant and brazen, yet underscored by a silent stubbornness.

The more the Heavenly Dao tried to stop her, the more determined she was to succeed.

A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes as Song Wanning once again began to chant the mantra and circulate her mental method.

Her speed increased, faster and faster.

The Spirit Race and the symbols approached the Dragon Spirit once more.

But the same thing happened again. The Divine Thunder split the clouds once more and slammed down viciously, a heart-pounding sight to behold.

Fearlessly, Song Wanning charged upward, only to be struck down by the ferocious Power of thunder and lightning, crashing onto the Dragon Spirit.

She coughed up blood madly, stuffing one Elixir Pill after another into her mouth.

Finally, she shoved a whole handful of Elixir Pills into her mouth.

The Elixir Pills rapidly repaired her injured organs and body. Song Wanning squeezed her eyes shut in pain, rage soaring through her heart.

Her eyes snapped open. They seemed to be lit by flames, completely bloodshot.

As soon as a bit of her strength returned, she immediately forced herself back to her feet and swung her sword.

At this moment, she felt as if she had returned to the time of her Tribulation Crossing.

Back then, the Heavenly Dao had been just like this, wishing it could blast her into dust, to be damned for all eternity.

But she had survived it.

’I can definitely survive this time, too.’

...

Above the Song Family’s city, two bolts of Divine Thunder struck down one after another, alarming everyone.

Song Huai stood in the courtyard with a grim expression. He hurriedly sent a Communication Talisman to Song Qingyun, his face etched with worry.

He had just gone down from the rockery to check, but he couldn’t venture any deeper and had no idea where Song Wanning had gone.

But the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was menacingly aggressive; it was clearly not friendly and must be aimed at Song Wanning.

Song Huai was so anxious that his forehead was covered in cold sweat, but all he could do was worry helplessly.

Moreover, there was an even more important problem: the Divine Thunder would inevitably attract the attention of other families.

Lately, many families had been eyeing the Song Family like tigers stalking their prey. Now that they had noticed something unusual, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t come looking for trouble.

At this thought, his expression grew even gloomier, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

’If those people insist on making trouble, they shouldn’t blame me for being merciless.’

However, whatever he feared most was bound to happen.

Within the Song Family’s city, other families already had their own businesses and spheres of influence. Everyone’s power was tangled together in a complex web—a tacitly accepted state of affairs.

Naturally, these forces also served as spies. When they saw the Divine Thunder striking the courtyard, all sorts of news flew about, and soon it was known everywhere.

The hearts of the various families began to stir with ambition.

Everyone was far too curious about the Song Family’s path to prominence.

Now that a rare opportunity had presented itself, none of them wanted to miss it.

However, the Song Family’s current status was transcendent, and they didn’t dare to offend them lightly, so most hesitated on whether to go.

But soon, they received a message from the He Family Master.

In the Communication Talisman, the He Family Master urged the other major families to go and investigate together. If the Song Family had another stroke of "good fortune," they could take the opportunity to offer their congratulations.

After hearing this, many families grew even more restless.

The He Family Master didn’t give up, either. He took the initiative to contact the three great families, persuading them to go together.

The Ning Family Head still remembered how the He Family Master had recommended Feng Youming, and he didn’t look upon the He Family Master favorably in the slightest.

But they were simply too curious. After some thought, they still decided to go and see for themselves.

’If they really find some incredible treasure, the Song Family can forget about keeping it for themselves!’

’And if there’s no treasure, it doesn’t matter. The worst that could happen is a wasted trip.’

To be on the safe side, the three great families each even brought a Divinity Transformation cultivator to hold the fort, lest they actually see a treasure but lack the confidence to fight for it.

Once the agreement was made, they all hurried to take a Transmission Array to the Song Family’s city.

With the three great families taking the lead, many other families were also tempted. They were just going to watch the excitement anyway, but if there really was a treasure, they would regret missing it for the rest of their lives.

And so, many families began to make their way toward the Song Family.

The He Family Master, bringing He Xiao along, wasted no time and boarded a Transmission Array to make the journey.

"Hmph. If our He Family were strong enough, why would we need to call on all these people to go with us?"

"A bunch of cowards! They’re actually afraid the Song Family will hold a grudge!"

He Xiao fumed, his heart filled with frustration.

In the past, the Song Family’s strength was no greater than the He Family’s, and back in the Sect, Song Wanning had always been polite enough to him. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Now, everything had changed.

The He Family Master said nothing, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.

’Without strength, one can only be beaten.’

’But we won’t lag behind the Song Family forever.’

’As long as we find the secret to the Song Family’s rise...’

...

While the other families were on their way, Song Wanning was already facing the fifth bolt of Divine Thunder.

By now, she had been struck until her entire body was scorched black. Her hair had fallen out, and her clothes had long since disintegrated into ash.

If not for the body made of Xirang supporting her, she would have long since been reduced to a bloody pulp.

’No, more like a piece of scorched jerky, to be precise.’

Song Wanning’s face was pitch-black, her expression unreadable. The strength in her body had long been exhausted.

Even while clutching top-grade spiritual stones and chewing on Elixir Pills, she still couldn’t withstand the rapid drain of her Spiritual Power.

Her eyes were bloodshot. Refusing to admit defeat, she lay on the ground, lifting her head to glare fixedly at the sky.

"You bend the rules for your own selfish reasons! Aren’t you afraid of retribution?"

"Using the power of the rules against me... you will definitely face retribution!!!"

For its own selfish ends, the Heavenly Dao had openly sent down the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, a move that far exceeded the Heavenly Dao Rules.

’Is it really not afraid of the rules collapsing and the world falling apart?’

Song Wanning truly didn’t understand.

’Is my existence really that intolerable?’
