Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2336

Above the golden light, the massive bolt of heavenly lightning nearly swallowed Louise whole. Bathed in blinding light, she stood calm and composed, her nine tails swaying behind her.

With a sweep of her hand, nine streaks of foxfire lightning shot forth, meeting the heavenly lightning head-on.

A deafening explosion followed. The clash of lightning lit up the Crisean skies, which had long been shrouded in the darkness of the vortex.

There was no time to breathe, as several more bolts crashed down toward Louise the next second.

Overhead, the sky rumbled and blazed without pause. The roar of lightning rained down again and again.

Not one person noticed that a single beam of supernatural light had pierced through the lightning and quietly slipped into the vortex.

The supernatural light, guided by bloodline resonance, sped toward a distant point, only to be blocked by an invisible barrier.

As it pressed against the wall of that hidden seal, the drops of blood carried within it turned into two delicate wisps of smoke and seeped through.

The two threads of blood-tinged smoke darted rapidly through the domain. But no matter how they moved, they couldn't find a matching bloodline to resonate with.

Just as they were on the verge of dissipating, one of the threads suddenly reacted as though sensing something.

It shot straight into the depths of the domain and merged into the body of a man lying unconscious.

The moment the smoke vanished, the man's eyes snapped open. Confusion flickered briefly, but then sharpened into clarity.

He parted his lips, voice hoarse and low, and muttered, "Shannon…"

Oh, his daughter, Shannon.

The man was none other than Adam.

Earlier, when Thalia brought the unconscious Adam into the Ten-Tailed's domain, Shannon, fearing Vlad would harm him, had kept him safely sealed inside after the former was sent away.

Earlier, the strand of smoke that had fused into Adam's body was from the alternate world—the alternate Adam.

Adam felt as if he had just awoken from an endless dream, one where Thalia was his wife and Shannon was his daughter.

The moment he realized this, the villa room around him suddenly shifted, melting into an endless, windswept prairie.

He stood amid the vast stretch of green, uncertain why he was there. However, one thing was clear—he needed to find his child.

"Maybe not… I don't know. Let's watch."

While the others held their breath in stunned silence, Shannon remained calm, with no sign of struggle or discomfort on her face.

The moment she pulled the sapling from its central place, the golden light barrier that had wrapped around it vanished instantly.

Then, the darkness, a symbol of the catastrophes in the alternate world, rushed toward her like a living tide, eager to consume her.

The moment Shannon connected with the sapling, the darkness surged forward and engulfed her. Even the golden light barrier that had shielded the others was nearly consumed in an instant.

Thankfully, in the next breath, she managed to expand a new, larger golden light barrier just in time.

What differed this time was that the edges of the barrier were visibly being gnawed away by the darkness, its decay unfolding before their eyes.

Shannon instinctively glanced at the small sapling in her hand. It was then she realized the darkness wasn't trying to devour them, but the sapling.

For some reason, she had an urge to take it with her.

The moment she touched it, a voice had echoed through her heart, telling her to save it.
