Chapter 558: Slaughter
"Since we’ve already started, let’s see this through!"
Ye Tianling hefted his Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword and took a step forward, pressing in on Yang Yutian and his two companions.
His aura surged, and he radiated a peerless, invincible Battle Intent.
"Celestial River Nine Lives Map, suppress!"
The scroll that had been slashed apart mended itself and activated once more. A bloody light flickered as countless vicious demons came back to life.
In that instant, it was as if the gates of Hell had been thrown open. Yang Yutian attacked again.
RUMBLE—
Within the Nine Lives Map, all the dark, vicious demons converged, transforming into a peerless Demon God. It flew straight out of the scroll, its hand snatching at Ye Tianling.
Its hand was as large as a mountain, and its grasp seemed capable of seizing heaven and earth itself. Ye Tianling felt a disorienting sense that there was nowhere to run!
’Brute force shatters all techniques!’
Ye Tianling murmured, then gathered the power of his Sword Venerate Dominating Body, using the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword to activate the Bloodline Power within him.
In that moment, Ye Tianling didn’t use his Celestial Dao Rule Domain to augment his strength. Instead, he directly unleashed his peerless Battle Power.
Nine Forbidden Battle Power.
Thirty-six percent combat power unleashed.
Particle Origin Technique!
When all these elements combined, when high-frequency particle vibrations activated the Huaxia Dragon Soul Divine Blood Power within him, Ye Tianling’s sword strike was like the very creation of heaven and earth.
SHINK—
The blade streaked across the sky, annihilating the Void. Not only did it shatter the Nine Lives Map, but it also struck the black, vicious demon reaching for Ye Tianling. The creature froze for an instant, then was cleaved in two. With a thunderous boom, it exploded into a cloud of fine black dust.
With a single move, it was crushed with irresistible force and utterly obliterated!
This attack was pure physical strength, a pure manifestation of Battle Power.
The strike tore through the Nine Lives Map once more. Unable to withstand the assault, the map cracked apart with a series of soft pops before exploding into fine powder.
"This—"
Yang Yutian, Yang Yuqian, and Yang Yushuang all gasped. In that moment, their expressions turned incredibly grim.
SHINK—
Just then, Ye Tianling blurred into an afterimage. Using his Kunpeng Hidden Dragon Technique, he moved as if striding through the Void, appearing just before Yang Yutian.
Ye Tianling’s sword lashed out again, thrusting directly at Yang Yutian.
Yang Yutian was terrified beyond belief, his very soul seeming to flee his body. He desperately tried to activate his trump card for defense.
But it was too late.
Even as Yang Yuqian and Yang Yushuang launched their own attacks on Ye Tianling, hoping to force him to defend and thus save their companion.
Ye Tianling’s sword struck from Yang Yutian’s side, piercing through all his defenses and running him completely through.
His fate was much the same as Yang Yuhun’s. The moment the sword ran him through, his body burst into Samadhi Celestial Fire.
The flames raged. Although Yang Yutian, as a Divine Son-Level prodigy of the Fire Qilin Divine Land, could also control fire, he was powerless against the overwhelming Flame Power burning him alive.
"Ah—"
He let out a heart-rending roar, his body convulsing violently. He howled in a frenzy, but he could do nothing to stop the descent of death.
HSSS—
In the space of a single breath, the raging flames consumed him, and Yang Yutian’s agonizing screams came to an abrupt end.
Yang Yutian was dead.
Ye Tianling transformed into a streak of light and dove toward Yang Yuqian.
He and his sword achieved a state of Unity of Man and Sword, completely unleashing the invincible might of his Sword Venerate Dominating Body.
Wherever the sword light passed, cracks spiderwebbed across the ground and countless clouds of dust shot into the sky. The sheer, world-shaking power of the attack was terrifying to behold.
WHOOSH—
Yang Yuqian sensed the crisis. All his killing blows had missed, not even grazing Ye Tianling. But with each of Ye Tianling’s attacks, a prodigy was guaranteed to fall!
It was simply too terrifying!
SWISH—
A cold glint flashed like snow, carrying an unparalleled Evil Qi.
The force of the blow was like a pale golden lightning bolt, striking in an instant.
SPLAT—
Fresh blood burst forth, a crimson flower staining the Void red.
The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword burst from Yang Yuqian’s chest. His body shuddered as if struck by lightning, then with a wet POP, he exploded, sending flesh and bone flying into the air.
As his sword struck, Ye Tianling had also released the lethal, high-frequency vibrations from his Particle Origin. This terrifying vibrational force instantly shook Yang Yuqian to death.
Specks of flame flared up, sweeping across the remains as the Devouring Law continued its work.
Ye Tianling absorbed some of their Innate Abilities.
The Innate Abilities of the three Divine Children from the Fire Qilin Divine Land were all related to flames and strengthening the physical body. Unfortunately, even after absorbing some of these Talents, Ye Tianling discovered they were of little use to him.
His own Talent with flames and his achievements in physical Cultivation were vastly superior to those of the three Divine Children from the Fire Qilin Divine Land.
With the three Divine Children killed in an instant, the Goddess Yang Yushuang had already fled far into the distance.
However, she did not continue to flee. Instead, she came to a halt in the Void.
She turned back, her gleaming eyes fixed on Ye Tianling, filled with utter shock and uncertainty.
Before they had attacked, she never would have imagined the outcome would be so tragic, so cruel.
But once the fight began, the outcome had been decided in the space of a few breaths.
"Ye Tianling! You—you’ve gone too far!"
Yang Yushuang shouted in fury, her heart filled with murderous rage.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to escape. The instant she had tried to flee, Ye Tianling’s Soul Qi had locked onto her.
If she hadn’t stopped and turned to face him, Ye Tianling would have struck her down with a single blow!
At a time like this, she absolutely could not turn her back on Ye Tianling—that would be no different from suicide!
"Too far? You’re the only one left. Now, I’ll send you on your way!"
Ye Tianling spoke calmly, his expression utterly unperturbed.
VMMMM—
Yang Yushuang began Burning her Essence Blood, immediately unleashing her strongest Battle Power.
She knew this would be an incredibly difficult battle. If she didn’t unleash her full power and fight with desperate abandon, she wouldn’t even be able to block a single one of his attacks!
SWISH—
The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword shot through the air, as fast as a bolt of pale golden lightning, reaching an incredible speed.
The sword light seemed to pierce the clouds and shatter the sky. It carried a killing intent that felt as if it hailed from an ancient era, and as the sword appeared, a dead silence fell over heaven and earth.
"Ah—"
As the sword struck, Yang Yushuang found she had no power to retaliate.
She couldn’t block it at all.
Her protective trump card was as flimsy as paper, utterly unable to withstand the blow.
In the instant her pupils contracted and her eyes filled with ultimate terror, the sword light plunged her into eternal darkness.
The sword light pierced through her brow.
POP!
Yang Yushuang’s body crashed backward to the ground.
