Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

"What did you say?!"

A frosty look spread across Tianqing’s pretty face. She stared coldly at Yang Yuhun, her tone hostile.

"What did I say? I said that so-called Celestial Secret Divine Son is nothing but a piece of trash! What’s wrong? Does your heart ache for him?"

Yang Yuhun’s mood soured even further, and his expression grew uglier.

"I am who I am, and the Celestial Secret Divine Son is who he is! He has done nothing to offend you. It’s one thing to be jealous of his Talent and brilliance, but to insult him with such words—are you even worthy of your title as a Divine Child? Acting like this will only make people despise and look down on you even more!"

Tianqing scoffed, her sarcasm palpable.

"It seems you’re truly stubborn and unrepentant! You refuse, is that it? Fine. In that case, I’ll have to do this myself!"

Yang Yuhun took a deep breath. His gaze sharpened, and killing intent began to coalesce around him.

"Then make your move!"

Tianqing was not surprised. Her Blood Qi surged, erupting from her body.

This battle was now inevitable.

Xia Xinyan stepped forward again, clearly intending to intervene, but Tianqing simply waved her hand, signaling that it wasn’t necessary.

"Fine. You insist on doing this the hard way. I’d like to see just how capable you really are!"

Yang Yuhun sneered maliciously.

Tianqing focused her Celestial Sword Divine Body, activating the Bloodline Power within her and channeling it into a Jade Longsword.

The next moment, her sword, seeming to possess a peerless Divinity, shot out like a flash of emerald lightning, streaking toward Yang Yuhun.

BUZZ—

A ball of Flame suddenly erupted in Yang Yuhun’s palm. He swung the purple Flame in his hand, creating a fan-shaped arc that instantly blocked Tianqing’s emerald killing blow.

When the two attacks collided, Tianqing’s was instantly shattered.

The purple Flame converged, forming a purple Flame Longsword that shot toward Tianqing at extreme speed.

The scene was bizarre and incredibly complex. Even though Tianqing sensed the incoming killing blow, she was unable to react in time.

Tianqing activated a Battle Soul, manifesting the Totem Power of her Celestial Sword Divine Body.

The Totem Power overflowed from her body, forming a phantasm in front of her that was exactly her size.

The phantasm condensed, transforming into a colossal emerald sword.

The greatsword was like a Void Body for Tianqing. As soon as it manifested from light and shadow, it positioned itself directly in front of her.

The purple Flame Longsword struck the colossal emerald sword, and both trembled violently.

PFFT—

The Void shuddered. A terrifying torrent of energy rippled outward, blasting in all directions and sending a massive shockwave raging into the distance.

As the two fought, the purple Flame Longsword and the colossal emerald sword began to clash violently.

Each exchange was exceptionally ferocious.

RUMBLE—

After another intense clash, Yang Yuhun was thrown backward. He stabilized himself in the air, his face growing even colder and more severe.

Tianqing was also pushed back. Her gauze dress fluttered and her waterfall of black hair danced in the air, giving her an extremely Spiritual and transcendent aura.

She hadn’t fallen into a disadvantage, but she hadn’t gained any ground either.

There seemed to be little difference in their Battle Power.

"They all say the Divine Son and Divine Lady of the Holy Heaven Ancestral Land are peerless and unmatched. Looking at you now, it seems that’s an overstatement. If this is the only Ability you have, then you’ll soon find yourself with no way out!"

Yang Yuhun spoke again.

This time, his voice was slightly hoarse, and it carried a bone-chilling killing intent.

This was true killing intent.

Either possess or destroy—that was the path he followed.

Previously, he thought he could suppress the Tianqing Goddess with his fundamental Battle Power. But after this exchange, he discovered that the Tianqing Goddess was stronger than he’d anticipated. His basic Battle Power was not enough to take her down.

After fighting for a while and getting a full understanding of the Tianqing Goddess’s Battle Power, Yang Yuhun knew that the possibility of suppressing her for Yin Yang Harmony was now slim!

So, if he couldn’t have her, he would destroy her!

"’No way out?’ Calling you a ’Divine Child’ is already a courtesy. I give you face, but you refuse to take it!"

Tianqing was also enraged. At first, she hadn’t liked this aggressive type of person, but she hadn’t found him repulsive either. But now, with his constant pressure, even with her disposition, she couldn’t help but feel her own killing intent rise.

"Damn bitch!"

Yang Yuhun flew into a rage. Being insulted by the Tianqing Goddess made him feel utterly humiliated.

Roaring with fury, he directly unleashed his legacy technique—the Fire Qilin Battle Body.

TSSS—

Countless purple Flames and scales erupted across his body. He transformed into a Flame Battle Body, fully unleashing all of his Battle Power.

"Stop! The expedition in the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave has only just begun. Is it really a good idea for you to be fighting amongst yourselves?"

From behind Xia Xinyan, the Goddess of the Great Xia Royal Family, a Male Cultivator stepped forward.

His name was Die Qingchen, a Prince of Royal Blood from the Heavenly Butterfly Soul Clan.

Although he wasn’t a Divine Child, their Battle Power levels were all quite similar. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to enter this region of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave.

"Fellow Daoist Qingchen, stay out of this!"

Yang Yuhun replied directly.

"Fellow Daoist Qingchen, this Yang Yuhun is already trying to take my life. This battle is unavoidable!"

Tianqing responded in kind.

Die Qingchen looked helpless. He glanced at Xia Xinyan, and seeing that she had no intention of making a move, he could only retreat in silence.

"Fire Qilin Battle Body, War God’s Killing Soul!"

Yang Yuhun, in his Flame Battle Body, unleashed the Power of his Slaughter Battle Soul.

Purple Flames manifested in his eyes. His entire body became a ball of fire, and within the flames, the Totem of a Fire Qilin seemed to manifest as he charged directly at Tianqing.

Tianqing achieved Unity of Celestial Sword and Divine Body. The colossal emerald sword completely fused with her, transforming into a Battle Soul Longsword that shot toward the Fire Qilin as well.

This time, Tianqing also revealed a peerless killing intent!

This was a head-on clash.

Once this battle erupted, one of the Cultivators was certain to be injured, or perhaps even perish.

But no one, whether it was Xia Xinyan, Xia Xinyue, Xia Xinqin, or Die Qingchen and the others, interfered.

This was a true life-and-death battle. It had nothing to do with them, and it was not their place to interfere.

"Divine Lady Xinyan, what do you think... will be the outcome of this battle?"

Xia Xinqin looked at Xia Xinyan, her eyes filled with respect.

At the same time, she felt a faint sense of worry.

Although her relationship with the Tianqing Goddess was distant, the fact that the Goddess had spoken up to defend Ye Tianling earlier gave her an inexplicable feeling of affinity.

"Divine Lady Xinyan, does the Tianqing Goddess have a chance to win?"

Xia Xinyue couldn’t help but ask as well.

Now, both of them had become Princesses, while Xia Xinyan had become a Goddess.

Xia Xinyan glanced at Xia Xinqin and Xia Xinyue before saying, "Her chances of winning are slim. Unless the Tianqing Goddess possesses some special hidden trump card to save her life, she will be unmatched once the Fire Qilin Battle Body undergoes its Ninth Layer Transformation and goes berserk."

Although Xia Xinyan was speaking to Xia Xinyue and Xia Xinqin, she didn’t lower her voice, so her words were loud enough for Tianqing to hear.

Tianqing’s face paled slightly, but she continued to face the situation with extreme calm.
