Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

Every time a karma is severed, Li Guanshi's aura flickers like a candle in the wind, becoming fainter.

Yet she seems utterly oblivious, mechanically repeating this motion, her gaze growing ever more indifferent, like a deep, rippleless pool.

From the moment a person is born, they are entangled in an invisible web of karma.

Even towards the end of life, there are countless karmic ties that remain unresolved.

According to records, during the ancient times, those immortals who ascended first decisively severed the karmas entangling them, achieving a state free of attachments, and ascended in a transcendental manner to seek the Path of Immortality.

But this method of ascension was too arduous, so formidable cultivators constructed the Ascension Bridge leading to the Immortal Realm.

Since then, any cultivator who could break through the "Heavenly Human Realm" could use this Ascension Bridge to open the Heavenly Gate and ascend to the Immortal Realm, achieving instant transcendence.

Ever since the Ascension Bridge was destroyed by an immortal, no one in this world has been able to successfully ascend.

Zhao Wuxiu once came infinitely close to success, but was thwarted by Jiang Wan.

However, Zhao Wuxiu made a mysterious agreement with an immortal, prompting an exception to be made for him to open the Immortal Gate.

But Li Guanshi, by nature proud, scorns collaborating with those immortals for an easy path.

Hence, she planned to utilize the Heavenly Divine Fortune to build a unique Ascension Bridge within herself, and then use the South Sea Holy Sect's Karma Severing Skill to cut off all karmic ties, thus achieving ascension.

In this way, even if those celestial immortals wanted to stop her, they would be powerless.

"Sever the feelings of the world!"

Countless threads of karma tremble in response.

The thick karma line, representing the ties with all the people and passersby in the world, shatters instantly under Li Guanshi's resolute slash.

The fragmented force of karma rages through her sea of divine sense.

Li Guanshi's delicate body trembles violently, a mouthful of bright red blood unconsciously spills from the corner of her mouth, slowly sliding down her fair chin, staining her garments red.

Yet she continues to grit her teeth, her eyes firm to the point of obstinacy.

Karma, at its essence, is emotion.

Severing emotion, how can it be easy?

Just like her friendship with Jiang Yi, on the surface, they seem to be just ordinary acquaintances, but the feelings forged in their youth are difficult to erase.

Once erased, it would be a harm to herself.

The woman's gaze slowly falls on the final thread of karma linked to Jiang Shouzhong.

This karmic thread emits a gentle glow.

Li Guanshi's feelings for Jiang Shouzhong are not particularly complex.

Initially, she was merely a little interested, but after discovering his potential, she began to care.

Love, however, is undoubtedly distant.

Even during the forty-nine days of dual cultivation, Li Guanshi remained very restrained, and although she occasionally felt subtle ripples in her heart, she quickly erased them.

Thus, this karmic line appears very thin, very faint, as if it could be severed with a mere breath.

"Jiang Shouzhong... our karmic fate ends here."

Li Guanshi softly murmurs, her voice light as if it would dissipate with the wind.

She swings her hand and severs the line.

The thread snaps in response.

Yet at the next moment, something unexpected occurs.

The just-severed karmic line suddenly seems to gain life, rejoining itself.

Hmm?

Li Guanshi's beautiful eyes sharply contract, astonishment lining her face.

What's happening?

Instinctively, she strikes it again.

The karma line breaks, then reattaches.

"Why... why cannot it be broken?"

Li Guanshi is bewildered, a sudden flood of inexplicable panic washing over her heart.

She never imagined that this seemingly easiest-to-sever karma line would reattach on its own.

In her understanding, once the Karma Severing Skill is enacted, such anomalies cannot occur.

Not believing in failure, Li Guanshi raises her hand again, fiercely severing the reattached karma line.

The karma line snaps once more.

But at the point of fracture, a peculiar light flickers, with numerous tiny runes circulating within.

In just an instant, the severed ends approach each other once more, drawn together like magnets, slowly rejoining.

"Why... why is this happening?"

Li Guanshi's complexion pales, beads of sweat appear on her forehead, trailing down her cheek.

Two successive failures shake her mental state. If she cannot sever her karma with Jiang Shouzhong, her meticulously planned path to ascension is bound to fail.

"I refuse to believe this trivial karma cannot be severed!"

Stubborn and persistent by nature, Li Guanshi grits her teeth, inhales deeply, and spiritual power surges wildly around her.

In the peach grove, the peach blossoms fall gently, resembling a rain of flowers.

The woman forms mystical seals with her hands, mysterious runes flying from her fingertips into the karmic line.

This time, she employs the ultimate Karma Severing Skill—"Karma Annihilation".

Runes, like chains, attempt to bind the karmic line, then completely extinguish it.

The karma line struggles violently under the runes, its glow intensifying.

Li Guanshi's delicate body trembles fiercely, and the repeated failures in severing karma cause a massive impact on her divine sense. One after another, mouthfuls of blood spill from her mouth, staining the flower petals below her red.

But the obsession in her heart grows even stronger.

She cannot accept, at this final juncture, a karma line escaping her control.

She simply cannot accept it!
