Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

HUMMM—

Long Wudao’s figure gathered and transformed into an illusion, splitting into six and fleeing in six different directions.

He was already coughing up mouthfuls of blood, having been instantly and severely wounded.

But he still wanted to live. ’Even the Nine Source Sword Saint was beaten this badly. If I don’t find a way to escape, am I just going to wait for death?’

At this moment, Long Wudao felt incredibly grateful for his Dragon Soul Incarnation Technique.

This bizarre Incarnation Technique created six forms. As long as one escaped, he could use Shifting Form and Shadow. By swapping his clone with his main body, it was like having six chances to escape.

But just as Long Wudao was thinking this, a sliver of hope rising in his heart, he discovered that his six fleeing figures were actually moving backward.

A look of utter horror appeared on his face.

Utter terror filled his eyes.

HUMMM—

Ye Tianling’s large hand was like a terrifying, devouring black hole. A suction force emerged, vast enough to blot out the sun and sky.

Nothing else between Heaven and Earth moved, but Long Wudao, locked on by Ye Tianling’s Eye of Destruction, was caught in the pull and sent flying back.

At the same time, Long Wudao was completely unable to use his so-called incarnation. All six forms merged back into one complete body, standing before Ye Tianling.

Long Wudao was so terrified that his entire body trembled. His aged frame shivered violently.

THUD—

Long Wudao fell to his knees and kowtowed desperately, smashing his forehead open in a futile attempt to beg for a chance to live.

Even if Ye Tianling wouldn’t forgive him, he wanted to stall for time!

Stall until Yao Yusu’s Divine Beast Companion arrived—an Ancient Divine Beast, a true Divine Beast...

Or, stall until the other Guardians of the Cyan Dragon Ancestral Land awakened to save him, their Saint Ancestor and Sword Saint.

But how could Ye Tianling possibly hold back?

Forget that Ye Tianling was currently emotionless; even if he weren’t, given Long Wudao’s past actions and Ye Tianling’s own temperament, this man’s death was a certainty.

Long Wudao kowtowed frantically.

But Ye Tianling’s gaze hardened, and a murderous glint from his Eye of Destruction shot out.

A crimson arc—a Dao Mark that split Yin and Yang—slashed forth.

SWOOSH—

Wherever the arc passed, space itself was sliced open.

SPLAT—

Long Wudao was cleaved in two, right from the center of his brow—not just his body, but his soul as well!

Then, the dark void that had been sliced open devoured his body and soul completely, reducing them to nothingness.

Long Wudao’s instantaneous death made Long Fengyang’s heart sink to the depths of despair.

At that moment, Ye Tianling’s gaze shifted to the Dragon Race’s Four Great Saint Masters.

The faces of Long Fengyang, Long Xuanji, Long Wentian, and Long Qingwan instantly turned deathly pale. Unable to bear the terrifying pressure of his gaze, they were nearly paralyzed with fear.

HUMMM—

Ye Tianling thrust out a palm, which expanded to the size of a mountain as it descended from the sky.

BOOM—

The ground sank, leaving behind a palm print nearly a thousand meters wide and ten thousand meters deep!

Within the massive crater, all four, including Long Fengyang, were smashed into a meat paste!

However, as ferocious and terrifying as the strike was, the Four Great Saint Masters had profound foundations and were not killed.

After reforming from their pulped states with a flash of bloody light, they flew out of the deep pit in absolute horror. They stood in the void, dripping with blood, staring at Ye Tianling with utter shock and terror.

HUMMM—

Ye Tianling threw another horizontal punch.

The bodies of the Four Great Saint Masters were struck once more, exploding into a mist of blood.

They reformed again, but it was clear they were now hanging on by a thread, grievously wounded.

Their condition was remarkably similar to Long Tianmo’s near-death state after he was injured.

BOOM—

Ye Tianling threw yet another punch.

Deep sorrow, despair, and endless regret filled the eyes of Long Qingwan and the other three.

Under this punch, they would bid farewell to this world, undergo Transformation Dao, and vanish without a trace.

However, the instant the punch was thrown, the void trembled slightly. A profound energy blocked the blow, and at the same time, a withered old woman emerged bit by bit from the ground.

This person had no discernible aura, making it impossible to sense her Realm, but when she acted, a terrifying Dao rhythm surrounded her.

"Ye Tianling, if you slaughter all your enemies, you will never awaken. Having enemies gives you a reason to live. Wake up!"

The old woman’s voice was deep and cold. At the same time, a vast wave of Mystic Power rippled toward Ye Tianling like water.

But while this wave of power forced Ye Tianling back a step, he was not harmed in any way, nor was he awakened.

With his fist blocked, the Silent Extinction Purple Flame in his palm only burned more fiercely.

"You ant—you dare harm my wife and kill my child!"

Just then, a world-shaking roar echoed from the distant sky.

Following it, a heaven-and-earth-shattering primeval aura flooded the area.

The entire world trembled and shook.

Evidently, the Taotie Divine Beast had arrived.

Yao Yusu’s dying call, her soul’s desperate cry, had finally summoned her husband.

But now, she wasn’t happy; instead, she felt even more uneasy.

"Husband, run!"

Yao Yusu shrieked, using almost all of her remaining strength.

She had poured her heart and soul into this, and her intentions were good, but in the eyes of the Taotie Divine Beast, why would a mere ant be worth mentioning?

The Taotie Divine Beast was a giant toad-man, its body covered in bone spikes that glinted with a cold, sinister light. It was extraordinarily ferocious.

The sound of its voice alone shook the void, making the entire area feel as if it were falling into silent extinction.

Now that its figure had manifested, it was enormous, like a small mountain. The primeval, ferocious aura it exuded was powerful enough to have killed a Sword Ancestor with pressure alone!

As the Taotie Divine Beast flew over, the withered old woman from the Holy Land waved her hand. The Four Great Saint Masters were gathered together and then drawn into a mysterious Holy Dao Space.

The Taotie Divine Beast’s ferocious pressure had no effect on the withered old woman.

HISS—

Just as the Taotie Divine Beast charged, attempting to suppress Ye Tianling with its supreme Divine Beast pressure, the Silent Extinction Purple Flame in Ye Tianling’s hand shot out with unparalleled cruelty.

SIZZLE—

"AH—"

The Silent Extinction Purple Flame instantly ignited Yao Yusu. Her body twisted, and in the space of a breath, she was reduced to ashes!

Ye Tianling killed Yao Yusu right in front of the Taotie Divine Beast!

He made Yao Yusu watch her husband arrive, only to die as her soul dissipated!

Even if he was unfeeling, heartless, even if he had completely fallen into darkness, the bone-deep hatred and obsession remained.

"Damn you! You lowly ant, you Blood Evil maggot! I will tear you apart piece by piece and devour you!"

The Taotie Divine Beast’s eyes turned blood-red. It roared ferociously, its voice shaking the heavens and tearing through the sky.

Its massive, mountain-like body transformed directly into its true Divine Beast form. With a single inhale and exhale, it seemed poised to swallow the entire Ancient Cyan Dragon Warfield whole!

As if it intended to devour every living being that still remained in this place!
