Ethan's figure suddenly flashed through Althea's mind, a silent reminder of the bond she refused to sever. Though her heart yearned to remain by Junior Brother Ethan's side, the merciless tide of fate surged relentlessly onward.
Life seldom bends to one's wishes, and destiny seemed determined to crush her.
For decades she had struggled against the crushing weight of inevitability, only to discover how small and powerless she truly was.
"Junior Brother Ethan...!" she gritted through clenched teeth, defying her cruel fate.
Shaking off the distracting thoughts, Althea closed her eyes and began silently chanting the ancient incantation.
The constraints on her bloodline power shattered with a resonant pulse. A breathtaking aura burst from her, soaring fiercely into the heavens above.
Though her cultivation level remained at the peak of Tribulation Transcendence, the momentum behind her aura had undergone a staggering transformation.
First turn of the Mahayana realm!
