Chapter 269: Tearing Apart the Taotie Divine Soul with Bare Hands
The scene left countless onlookers shaken to their core.
Long Cangqian, who had been empowered by a world-shaking Dao Sound and was protected by a mysterious expert, was this pathetic?
It shattered everyone’s expectations and was simply unbelievable.
It wasn’t that Long Cangqian wasn’t strong enough!
It was that the Celestial Secret Divine Son was just that heaven-defying!
What kind of Battle Power was this?
And what Realm was this?
With no Manifestation of Battle Power, nor any corresponding Dao rhythm or Law Dao Marks, there was no way to judge.
Nor was there any sign of his Realm’s level, or any aura revealing his Realm, making it equally impossible to discern.
But when Long Cangqian took on his Taotie combat form, his tongue extending two meters, he already possessed the peak strength of a peerless Saint Master, comparable to a Half-step Saint!
One could even say that Long Cangqian’s current Battle Power could absolutely rival that of a Quasi-Saint.
A Long Cangqian like this was more than qualified to be the number one Cyan Dragon Saint Son of the Cyan Dragon Race—if not for the existence of Ye Tianling!
Yet, this very same powerhouse was being thrashed and butchered like a dog by Ye Tianling, beaten so badly that shit and piss were flying... It was simply unimaginable!
The shock of this was even more intense than when he had slain Long Yunyue with a single sword, impaled Long Yunyao with a single staff, or even when he had blown Duan Jiutian apart with one strike.
"Their Battle Power isn’t on the same level!"
"Ye Tianling is devouring Long Cangqian’s Qi Fortune, Life Chart, and destiny! If he isn’t stopped, Long Cangqian will be beaten to a pulp again and again!"
"Heh, stop him? Who could possibly stop him? Tianhong Saint Son, haven’t you noticed that Long Cangqian already has the Battle Power of a Quasi-Saint? With that kind of power, who here could possibly intervene? The Celestial Secret Divine Son’s Guardian, that Master Saint, perhaps could, but why would he?"
"Xiao Hu, the Saint Son, is absolutely right. It was I, Tianhong, who overlooked that point."
"The Celestial Secret Divine Son is truly peerless. I’m becoming more and more obsessed with him. I’m going to record all of his battles and cultivate every day while hugging the Projection Stone."
"I’ve already been recording them! I said a long time ago that I wanted to achieve Yin Yang Harmony with him. Saintess Tianqing, you’ll have to get in line behind me, Li Xuting."
"Hmph, I won’t fight you for it. You can go first. In any case, I’m going to sleep with him, and no one can change my mind!"
...
A group of Saintesses began to feel stirred, which in turn caused a group of Saint Children to sigh endlessly with complex emotions.
In terms of wild arrogance, besides the Dragon Race, only the Saintesses from the Major Sects, Ancestral Lands, and Holy Lands could compare.
But now, where was any of that famous reserve?
But no one was envious, no one was jealous, and no one felt resentful!
Because many of the Saint Children, despite being exceptional men themselves, also felt an impulse of admiration for Ye Tianling, even an urge to be with him.
They too were drawn to Ye Tianling’s peerless coldness and his wild, roguish charm—an attraction that was almost helpless!
Therefore, they could deeply empathize with the Saintesses’ ’lack of reserve’ and understood it completely.
The mindsets of the Saint Children and Saintesses grew complicated. As for the True Disciples, their reactions were even more overwhelmed, to say nothing of them.
Meanwhile, the many Saint Masters present were also on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Saintess Returning Butterfly, Ouyang Qianyu, looked at Ouyang Tianqi with a gaze full of admiration and awe. Her beautiful eyes shone with an intense Spiritual glimmer.
"Tianqi, your judgment remains as precise as ever."
Ouyang Qianyu’s voice was very soft and filled with gratification, but also a hint of lingering fear.
"That’s to be expected. Besides, I’m afraid we still haven’t seen him at his strongest."
A lively, spiritual light flickered in Ouyang Tianqi’s eyes.
His gaze, clear as a Spiritual Spring, shone with an indescribable wisdom.
"Still... Still not his strongest?"
Ouyang Qianyu’s heart fluttered, and for a moment, it felt like it was pounding in her chest.
Like a young girl with her first crush, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
Ouyang Tianqi glanced at Ouyang Ruobing and Ouyang Ruoshuang beside him. "What are your thoughts now?"
Ouyang Ruoshuang snorted. "I believe the Taotie Divine Son will blow him to pieces! He might seem to have the upper hand now, but in reality... in reality—"
She couldn’t say what would happen in reality.
But in her heart, she just couldn’t stand Ye Tianling. The more impressive his background and the more outstanding he proved to be, the more she loathed him.
Unlike Ouyang Ruoshuang, Ouyang Ruobing was far more opportunistic.
’Sigh, if only I had known he was this exceptional. With my looks, he would surely have doted on me to the core. Then, if he just casually gave me some Divine Blood, I could have become a Goddess...
Perhaps after this is all over, I’ll go kneel and apologize, then let him use me for Absorption.
I’ll just act like that bitch Ruoxue. He’ll definitely be completely mesmerized by me,’ she thought.
Ouyang Ruobing was already lost in her own schemes.
And she was not alone; quite a few of the beautiful women among the Candidate Saintesses and True Disciples shared her thoughts.
Beside Ouyang Ruobing, Ouyang Ruoyun’s eyes were filled with tears and deep concern.
’Sister Ruoxue... has she already undergone Transformation Dao? His heart is so broken that his youthful hair has turned white... He must be in so much pain, right?
Why are all these people pushing him so hard? What did he do wrong?
His Talent is so incredible, why did his own father treat him this way?
He’s clearly so loyal and values his relationships, so why do they call him a Great Demon?
Isn’t Long Fengyang the real Great Demon?
Are they all blind?’
Ouyang Ruoyun sighed with sorrow, grief, and pity.
She saw things the most clearly. She knew that Ye Tianling had already lost two of his great Ancestor Dao Void Bodies. If something were to happen to this current Void Body, he would have no path of retreat left.
In other words, Ye Tianling already had no way out.
She prayed silently, clear tears streaming from her eyes from time to time.
...
"AHHH—"
Long Cangqian couldn’t accept it. He was being beaten so hard his body was caving in, on the verge of splitting apart.
After his transformation, his constitution’s endurance and Defense Power had become even more terrifying, so he hadn’t been blown to pieces.
But this humiliation was even more brutal.
"I’ll kill you!"
Long Cangqian exploded with power, gathering the Taotie Divine Soul into a Sword of Slaughter and viciously stabbing it into Ye Tianling’s chest.
"CLANG—"
Sparks flew. A strike that could pierce great mountains and a Star River was blocked by nothing more than Ye Tianling’s physical Defense Power.
How could his Emperor’s Qi Sword Body at the Great Success stage, with a Defense Power more terrifying than a Sacred Artifact, possibly be broken?
Then, after blocking the attack, Ye Tianling suddenly shot out his hand, grabbed a fistful of Long Cangqian’s long, bruised, purplish-green hair, yanked him forward, and threw a punch.
It was another Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.
"SPLAT—"
Long Cangqian’s body was once again beaten until it was twisted and completely deformed.
"SQUELCH—"
Another spray of a green, pus-like, foul-smelling substance erupted.
This time, it didn’t just spray from his back and his rear; the same extremely foul-smelling liquid gushed from Long Cangqian’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth!
"AHHH—"
Long Cangqian felt like he had been utterly broken!
He roared, and his Taotie Divine Soul shot out from his body, trying to swallow Ye Tianling whole.
Ye Tianling stretched out a hand, his palm single-handedly holding open the massive, blood-red maw that the Taotie Divine Soul had manifested.
With a tremor of his hand, a shockwave of Destructive Energy blasted outward.
"BOOM—"
The Taotie Divine Soul shuddered violently, trembling intensely.
Ye Tianling took a great breath, devouring the Primordial Qi between Heaven and Earth like a whale.
"BOOM—"
His body instantly swelled, growing to over ten meters tall and nearly three meters wide.
Once this giant stood tall, the formerly huge, nearly two-meter Taotie Divine Soul looked as small as a rabbit in comparison.
Ye Tianling snatched out, and the Taotie Divine Soul landed in his grasp.
"CRACK—"
The veins on his hands bulged as he unleashed a torrent of ferocious power and, with a savage motion, ripped!
The so-called Taotie Divine Soul was ripped in half, alive, by Ye Tianling. Soul Blood splattered everywhere.
At that same moment, Long Cangqian let out a desperate, bloodcurdling shriek that was even more tragic and shrill than before!
