Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

"Taotie Divine Soul? Celestial Mandate Divine Son? Go on, recover. Call me when you’re back at your peak. I’ll just crush you again!"

Ye Tianling’s expression was cold.

His icy gaze was as merciless as ever.

And that frigid expression, that look of contempt bordering on mockery, was enough to drive Long Cangqian completely insane.

This scene wasn’t just a heavy blow to Long Cangqian; it was also a resounding slap in the face to Long Fengyang.

’If... if Ye Tianling had unleashed this kind of Battle Power from the start, what would the Four Great Saint Masters even amount to?’

’Wouldn’t that Long Yunfan fellow have been instantly crushed too?’

’He would have faced certain death, with no chance of escape?’

’But why didn’t he use it?’

’Did he wait until this very moment, until he was cornered, to finally unleash it?’

’Was it all just to wait for his confrontation with Long Cangqian, to erupt with full force and shatter Long Cangqian’s Strong Heart?’

’If so, this man’s forbearance is truly terrifying!’

’His scheming must run so deep!’

’Could this man really watch his own woman die from the Transformation Dao without batting an eye?’

At this moment, it wasn’t just Long Fengyang; in truth, many Cultivators couldn’t understand.

Among them were quite a few Saint Master Level existences.

Ye Tianling offered no explanation.

Nor would he.

The Demon Heart Sword Body was like an abyss of Destruction.

’If it weren’t a desperate situation, why would I ever use it?’

’Unless I was forced to this point, relying on my own Abilities and Battle Power is a far stronger path than relying on the Demon Heart.’

’With love in my heart, how could I willingly descend into the Demon Dao? How could I transform into a Demon?’

No one understood, and no one could ever know, just how terrifying the foundation of this currently glorious Demon Heart Sword Body truly was.

Once it ran rampant, everyone beneath the level of a Saint would truly become nothing more than ants.

Once the Demon Heart Sword Body transformed into a Demon, all things under heaven would be treated as straw dogs.

"Damn it! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe you can possess such Battle Power! Go to hell!"

Long Cangqian’s Taotie Divine Soul began Devouring the terrifying Secret Realm Energy he had stored.

In a single breath, he was reborn, completely restored to a state of Perfection.

This situation was nearly identical to Ye Tianling’s earlier, like an unkillable cockroach.

But as Long Cangqian roared and charged forward to kill, Ye Tianling didn’t even twitch.

BOOM—

The murderous intent, powerful enough to shatter heaven and earth and obliterate all Daos, smashed against Ye Tianling’s Demon Heart Sword Body.

At this moment, the terrifying Defense Power of the Great Success Emperor’s Qi Sword Body revealed its truly horrifying foundation.

VWOOM—

The blood-colored membrane of light trembled faintly. Then, with a BOOM, Long Cangqian was sent staggering back over a hundred steps by the rebound force, sputtering a mouthful of blood. He had been wounded by the recoil!

Meanwhile, Ye Tianling remained perfectly still.

"You? A Taotie Divine Soul? You’re just an old toad!"

Ye Tianling snorted coldly and threw another punch.

Reincarnation Life and Death Fist!

It was the same Power of Six Paths Reincarnation.

The same murderous intent that shattered the void.

The same Evil Qi that brought Destruction to all Daos.

And still, it was the same incredibly simple and direct punch.

VWOOM—

The Fist Intent shot across the sky, annihilating all Daos.

As the punch flew, Long Cangqian’s figure shot backward, but it was as if Space itself had warped. His body seemed to actively move into the path of Ye Tianling’s fist, getting struck by the blow.

BOOM—

CRACK—

The Void cracked open. Black Flowing Light and turbulent currents surged through the sky.

Long Cangqian’s bones shattered one after another. This time, his injuries were even more gruesome.

He was nearly beaten to dust, but his terrifying Taotie Divine Soul once again snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, instantly Devouring a massive amount of Secret Realm Energy to recover again.

But even so, Long Cangqian had been beaten to his knees.

He knelt on the ground, his face ashen.

The second time. He had been beaten as easily as snapping dry twigs, as effortlessly as slaughtering a dog, completely unable to fight back or even parry!

"Taotie Divine Soul, Blood Moon Venerable. Secret Realm Nirvana, Hell has no gate!"

Suddenly, a chaotic Dao Sound, its origin in time and space unknown, echoed through the Void.

The Void trembled, and a ripple of Flowing Light spread out.

The Dao Sound fell upon Long Cangqian’s body.

Long Cangqian was swiftly enveloped by the Dao Sound.

Then, an extremely savage, ancient, and terrifying aura emerged.

As this aura spread, the kneeling Long Cangqian’s body once again began to emit a purplish-green light.

As this light enveloped him, the phantom of the Taotie Divine Soul, a Fierce Beast, gradually manifested within the glow.

Once the Fierce Beast’s phantom solidified, it opened its great maw and began to inhale the heavens and earth, as if swallowing the flowing light of the sun and moon, Devouring the endless Power of the Supreme Dao Laws from the firmament.

"Soul Devouring!"

"Heaven-Devouring!"

Long Cangqian suddenly seemed to transform into a humanoid combat form.

Just like Ye Tianling, his entire body began to burn with the blood of his Divine Soul.

The blood of his Divine Soul burned, but this blood was not just red; it was a mix of purple and green.

At this moment, Long Cangqian’s entire body was covered in what looked like bulging pustules.

A tri-colored, dark-green liquid flowed from these pustules, a truly horrifying sight.

He looked just like a toad-man.

BLECH—

Some of the beautiful Saintesses were already retching, disgusted by his hideous appearance.

But even more Saint Sons and Saintesses couldn’t help but gasp.

"Within the Supreme Dao Laws, after being ’killed’ twice and surviving both near-death experiences, an astonishing metamorphosis will occur."

"Clearly, the Celestial Mandate Divine Son’s ’Life Chart’ has begun to transform. As expected, he is favored by the heavens. A fortuitous encounter has befallen him!"

"This is true for all top-tier Saint Sons and Saintesses, and even more so for a Divine Child! But, I have to say, this is truly the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen!"

"The Celestial Secret Divine Son is in trouble."

"Not necessarily. Didn’t you see how the Celestial Secret Divine Son just throws a punch no matter what? Do you really think the Celestial Secret Divine Son has ever cared about that Long Cangqian?"

"The Celestial Secret Divine Son is definitely number one among the current Saint Sons and Saintesses!"

"That’s not a given. They’re just using the power of the Secret Realm as their foundation. While it’s difficult for a true top-tier Saint Child to reach this level, it’s not impossible!"

"That’s right. In this place, there are at least six Unparalleled Saint Sons and Saintesses who could fight the Celestial Secret Divine Son!"

"Saint Son Sword of No Name and Saint Son Qin Xingyu could probably put up a fight!"

"You all think too highly of me. I, Sword of No Name, am not his match."

"And I, Qin Xingyu, can’t defeat the Celestial Secret Divine Son either. I admit defeat."

...

Amidst the discussions of the Saint Sons and Saintesses, Long Cangqian, now shrouded by the metamorphosed Taotie Divine Soul, seemed to be cloaked in a layer of Divine Dao Law Power.

"Ye Tianling—you bastard, you deserve to die! This time, I’ll swallow you in one gulp and refine you alive!"

Long Cangqian roared, and as he panted heavily, a crimson tongue slowly slithered out of his mouth.

The crimson flesh extended to nearly two meters in length!

As the long tongue lolled out, his body arched.

His abdomen swelled and then contracted, looking exceptionally bizarre.

"Swallow me?"

Ye Tianling uttered two faint words, his expression a mask of utter contempt and cold arrogance.

Then, without even a glance, his figure moved.

PFFT—

Drawing upon his Unparalleled Demon Heart Sword Body and Great Success Emperor’s Qi Sword Body to power the Kunpeng Body Technique, Ye Tianling transformed into a Golden-winged Roc, performing Water Strike Three Thousand and Soaring Nine Thousand!

WHOOSH—

He appeared in front of Long Cangqian.

One punch.

Still just a simple punch.

THWUMP—

Long Cangqian’s bulging abdomen was suddenly punched in, caving a full half-meter deep!

BOOM—

Long Cangqian’s entire body shuddered. From his bulging back, a huge mass of greenish, shit-like, viscous entrails was blasted out, spraying for over three thousand meters!

Behind Long Cangqian, the trio of Long Fengyang, Long Yunfan, and Long Yuqian were hit head-on by the spray.

PFFT—

The three were doused by the fluid, sent flying backward by the impact, and began coughing up blood repeatedly.

Long Fengyang’s head was drenched in the foul-smelling green substance. It was an utter mess, as if his entire head had been covered in green shit and piss!

BLECH—

The putrid stench made Long Fengyang vomit uncontrollably, even as he was coughing up blood.

Long Yunfan and Long Yuqian were also instantly injured, nearly killed by the aftershock of the blow.

The two were utterly horrified, only now realizing just how terrifying the Celestial Secret Divine Son, Ye Tianling, was in this state!

As they spat blood, they were also overcome with such extreme nausea that they nearly vomited up their own bile.
