Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Brutal!

This was boundless brutality!

The scene made Long Fengyang tremble violently, as if he had been struck by lightning.

’The Taotie Divine Soul... the Celestial Forbidden Talent... torn apart just like that?’

’Was the Celestial Mandate Divine Son really going to die like this?’

ROAR—

Just as Long Fengyang watched in utter disbelief, all the other Cultivators in attendance shared his shock.

This was simply too ferocious, too tyrannical!

This was a completely one-sided slaughter!

And yet, Ye Tianling wasn’t simply slaughtering Long Cangqian. He was tearing him apart piece by piece, crushing him, trampling his bloodline, ravaging his dignity, and utterly demolishing his Battle Power!

This was more humiliating than the most vicious of insults!

From this day forward, it was feared that Long Cangqian would never escape Ye Tianling’s shadow—assuming he even survived this battle.

However, just as everyone had this thought...

The Taotie Divine Soul, which had been torn in two, suddenly exuded a dark Flowing Light from its very core. The light instantly enveloped both halves, merging them back into one.

BOOM—

Long Cangqian burned through his reserves of refined Secret Realm Energy, and his Battle Soul returned to him.

At the same time, he appeared to have returned to his peak condition.

Without a word, he unleashed the Dao of Taotie Devouring, voraciously consuming the terrifying energy of Heaven and Earth.

HSSSS—

His figure shot into the sky, transforming into an ancient Fierce Beast Stele. Imbued with the will of an Absolute Kill, it hurtled straight toward Ye Tianling.

This single strike was more than five times more powerful than before.

But Ye Tianling simply raised a hand and threw a punch.

PFFT—

Long Cangqian was sent flying backward, his body erupting with ten bursts of bloody light in the Void!

A cyan liquid burst forth, releasing a foul energy, as if he had lost control of his bowels and bladder.

He was no match at all!

But he had fought himself into a frenzy. He had no other thought but to kill Ye Tianling.

This obsession, this tyrannical will, only made his Taotie Divine Soul even more ferocious.

"Again!"

Long Cangqian attacked again.

Ye Tianling didn’t even bother to block. After Long Cangqian’s attack landed on him and failed to even budge him, he threw another punch.

Once again, Long Cangqian was sent flying. Once again, he was beaten until filth streamed from his body, a truly unbearable sight.

"Again!"

BOOM!

"Again!"

BOOM!

...

After being struck nearly ten times, Ye Tianling shot up, grabbed Long Cangqian by the neck, and violently smashed him down into the Void below!

Instantly, Ye Tianling descended, a vicious whip-kick stomping down on Long Cangqian’s face. He crushed his entire face, grinding it into the floor of the battle stage!

At the same time, Ye Tianling’s hands tore into him, ripping the Taotie tendons from Long Cangqian’s body and savagely snapping them one by one!

Next, Ye Tianling ripped out the Taotie Divine Soul itself. He exerted his strength, and the terrifying physical power of his Great Success Emperor’s Qi Sword Body exploded. He didn’t just tear the Taotie Divine Soul into miserable shreds; he took those shreds and tore them apart again, piece by piece!

Long Cangqian was reduced to a mangled heap of flesh and blood, a pile of ruined meat beaten to within an inch of his life.

So much for the Taotie Divine Son. So much for the Celestial Mandate Divine Son and his Celestial Forbidden Talent. From start to finish, he had been utterly dominated, unable to put up the slightest resistance!

This battle was truly world-shaking.

At this point, Ye Tianling could sense it—a seemingly endless torrent of Qi Fortune was pouring down upon his head.

The powerful will he used to Control his Demon Heart Sword Body seemed to grow more refined and stable.

WHOOSH—

Ye Tianling exhaled.

The breath became a roaring blaze of Samadhi True Fire.

The Samadhi True Fire that flowed from his Great Success Emperor’s Qi Sword Body was incredibly savage, capable of burning anything and everything to cinders!

"Time to send you on your way!"

Ye Tianling said calmly.

"Stop!"

At that moment, three of the Four Great Saint Masters stepped forward. Their eyes were locked on Ye Tianling, forbidding him from continuing his attack.

Ye Tianling completely ignored them.

But at that moment, the entire battle stage began to shudder violently.

"This is the Cyan Dragon Race’s Holy Dao Killing Array, powered by the Power of Destiny of our entire race and our core nexus! Ye Tianling, release Long Cangqian, and we can negotiate. Otherwise, Long Tianyu and Long Tianmo will die immediately!

Lin Yuchan and Ye Yueling will also be slaughtered by the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden technique!

I can’t summon them here, but I can use a Sacred Artifact and the Blood Sacrifice Technique to destroy them! It will come at a heavy price, but I can absolutely do it!"

Long Fengyang had become utterly shameless.

At this point, his only priority was to save Long Cangqian.

"You think you can threaten me?"

Ye Tianling said coldly.

"I may not be able to threaten you, but I’ve bought enough time! Activate the Blood Sacrifice Killing Array! Sound the alarm and awaken the Guardian Saint Ancestor of the Cyan Dragon Race to slaughter this whelp!"

Long Fengyang had gone completely mad, willing to pay any price!

As he made his move, the battle stage suddenly became extremely unstable.

As the power of the Array flowed, Long Cangqian’s mangled body Disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ye Tianling’s Samadhi True Fire had already shot forward, but it failed to reach Long Cangqian.

As the Holy Dao Formation activated, Yue Lintian immediately moved to guard Ye Tianling’s side.

"Young Master, we must retreat! This is a Holy Dao Killing Array, capable of killing Saints! Moreover, once this Array is activated, the Cyan Dragon Race’s Guardian Saint Ancestors will be alerted. If they appear, it will be a true apocalypse.

Even with the backing of the Celestial Secret Divine Land, we won’t be able to fight back!"

Urgency flashed in Yue Lintian’s eyes, and his expression grew exceptionally grave.

"There’s no need to retreat or worry. We haven’t reached that point yet!"

Ye Tianling felt no regret about Long Cangqian’s escape.

Long Cangqian had been flayed and his tendons ripped out. His Taotie Divine Soul was torn to shreds. After being beaten down again and again, ninety-nine percent of his Qi Fortune, fate, and Life Chart had been devoured by Ye Tianling.

He could perceive this with extreme clarity thanks to his Soul Mirror Talent.

So, even though he had escaped, Long Cangqian was ruined. He would never be able to cause any trouble again.

’As for the Saint Ancestors... now that the Array has been activated, do they really think I could just leave if I wanted to?’

’If I leave, given Long Fengyang’s crazed state, he will definitely strike a killing blow!’

’Then Lin Yuchan, Ye Yueling, Long Tianyu, and Long Tianmo will certainly die!’

’In their current state, if they were targeted by Long Fengyang again, they would have no chance of survival.’

"What do you want? State your terms."

Ye Tianling retracted his Samadhi True Fire and spoke calmly.

The Holy Dao Killing Array was still spreading and operating.

Ye Tianling, Yue Lintian, and even all the Saint Sons, Saintesses, and True Disciples present were enveloped within it. No one could escape the Holy Dao Killing Array.

The expressions of many Saint Masters soured. To be enveloped by such an Array meant that if the Dragon Race had ulterior motives, they would all be caught in a single net.

"We were careless. Now we’ve all been dragged into this."

Qitian Dao’s expression was complicated. His gaze shifted thoughtfully to the Jade Pool Saint Master, Yao Yusu, who, to his surprise, had a hint of joy in her eyes. This made his own expression even more grave.

"They wouldn’t dare target us," the Jiuli Saint Master snorted. "Heh, representatives from the Thirty-Six Holy Lands, the Seventy-two Ancestral Lands, and over a hundred other Sects are here for the ceremony. If they tried to wipe us all out in one fell swoop, the Dragon Race must truly be seeking its own annihilation."
