Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Ye Tianling’s meaning was obvious.

His words naturally sent an uproar through the crowd.

Xia Xinqin, Xia Xinyue, and even the Tianqing Goddess couldn’t help but look at Lie Yuying with strange expressions.

After all, Lie Yuying looked pure and noble, beautiful and captivating. Though she had a slightly seductive and bewitching air, she still seemed as ethereal as a Fairy.

To think that behind closed doors, she was this kind of person.

"You deserve to die!"

Lie Yuying’s voice was filled with extreme, venomous hatred.

Ye Tianling shrugged, unconcerned.

Then, he gathered his unparalleled Battle Power, manifesting true killing intent.

His Nine Forbidden Battle Power, unleashing thirty-six percent combat power, and abilities like the Reincarnation Life and Death Fist erupted in that instant.

Having already confirmed the method of using the Celestial Dao Rule Domain through Lie Wuhen, Ye Tianling no longer needed to sharpen his blade.

Therefore, he wouldn’t give Lie Yuying any more chances.

VWOOM—

Ye Tianling’s fist transformed into a palm, striking out like a hand blotting out the sky and sun.

The scene unfolded so quickly that no one could see it clearly.

PUFF—

Lie Yuying’s whole body trembled. Although the Ancestral Dao Killing Intent within her was struck out, it also shot toward Ye Tianling in an attack.

But Ye Tianling’s figure dodged it with great ease.

After a brief pause, the palm continued its descent.

SPLAT—

Lie Yuying’s head was slapped down into her neck and, like a cannonball, instantly blasted out from her lower body.

BOOM—

That head, like a bloody streak of light, shot from the air toward the ground. It slammed down hard, blasting a hole nearly a thousand meters deep and half a meter in diameter.

WHOOSH—

A streak of Soul Light shot out, streaking toward the distance like a bolt of lightning in a desperate attempt to escape.

It was Lie Yuying’s Battle Soul.

PUFF—

A Light of Destruction shot out from Ye Tianling’s eyes.

The Light of Destruction instantly pierced the Battle Soul.

"AHHH—"

Lie Yuying’s Battle Soul let out a heart-wrenching scream as it burst into raging Celestial Fire.

Within a few breaths, it fell completely silent, the agonizing cry coming to an abrupt end.

Lie Yuying, just like Lie Wuhen, had undergone a complete Transformation Dao. Her body and soul were obliterated.

"You can die, too!"

Ye Tianling turned and slapped out with his hand.

BOOM—

An entire section of the Void suddenly collapsed. Five Cultivators from the Lie Mountain Divine Race were all slapped out of the Void and onto the ground by that single palm strike. Their flesh exploded on impact, turning to dust.

Under this palm, not only were their physical bodies pulverized, but their Souls were also smashed to pieces.

Such tyrannical and heaven-defying Battle Power plunged the scene into dead silence.

Li Xuyao, Li Xushan, and Li Yanjin from the Heaven-Sundering Sacred Land were all completely stunned.

It wasn’t just them. Even Xia Xinyan, the Tianqing Goddess, Qin Xingchen, Xiao Huang, and the rest of their group were stupefied.

They knew Ye Tianling was incredibly strong, but only now did they realize they had still underestimated him!

Ye Tianling was far, far more powerful than they had ever imagined!

THUD—

The Divine Child Li Xuyao immediately dropped to his knees before Ye Tianling.

Tears of blood streamed from his eyes.

He said nothing, but his actions spoke volumes.

His sister’s death had been avenged. Although he hadn’t been able to kill her enemies with his own hands, witnessing their agonizing, miserable deaths gradually began to undo the knot in his heart.

THUD—

At that moment, Li Xushan and Li Yanjin also knelt. They even performed the three kneelings and nine kowtows, their attitude one of utmost reverence.

"Brother Xuyao, get up."

Ye Tianling patted Li Xuyao’s shoulder, trying to pull him up.

But Li Xuyao didn’t get up right away.

Ye Tianling looked thoughtful. "Earlier, I used a method similar to a Soul Search to look through Lie Wuhen’s memories. That’s why he was in so much pain; he couldn’t bear it, and his memories shattered, causing his Soul to explode."

Hearing this, Li Xuyao immediately realized something. He snapped his head up, his gaze blood-red as he stared at Ye Tianling.

"Fairy Li Xuting... was actually never defiled. The moment she was captured, she activated her Ancient Bloodline and died through Transformation Dao."

Ye Tianling thought for a moment, then used the Path of Time Origin from the Tianshu Ancient Town Celestial Secret Divine Skill to manifest a scene within a water curtain.

Within the scene, Lie Wuhen’s memories were displayed.

It was a dim, gray picture, but when presented by Ye Tianling through the Path of Time Origin, it was still incredibly real.

It was as if a scene from the past was replaying before their eyes.

And it wasn’t just Li Xuyao who saw this scene; Li Xushan, Li Yanjin, the Tianqing Goddess, and the others all saw it too.

Lie Wuhen and Lie Yuying had captured Li Xuting together. Their conversation also directly mentioned the ancient legacy of the Heaven-Sundering Sacred Land: the Heaven-Devouring Divine Skill and the Heaven-Splitting God Killing Technique.

Instantly, everyone present understood. So that was the connection between the Lie Mountain Divine Race and the Heaven-Sundering Sacred Land!

However, Li Xuyao paid no attention to this. He was trembling all over as he watched his sister, Li Xuting, choose death before dishonor, performing her own Transformation Dao.

His sister was dead.

Although she hadn’t been defiled, she was still dead.

"Lie Mountain Divine Race! Lie Mountain Divine Land!"

Li Xuyao burned the name of this power into his heart.

"This World is full of too much suffering. Her passing may have been a form of release. Therefore, you who live on must carry all the responsibilities she could not. You are a Divine Child, and you are now the only Unparalleled Divine Son of the Heaven-Sundering Sacred Land. If you cannot rise up now, then the Heaven-Sundering Sacred Land will truly fall into decline!

Back then, in the Ancient Cyan Dragon Warfield, the bearing of that Li Xuyao was such that even I felt inferior. But the you of today... you truly disappoint me!"

Ye Tianling said lightly.

"Tianling... Brother Tianling, I understand."

Li Xuyao’s body trembled, and then he silently rose to his feet.

He wasn’t just lifting his body, but also his dignity, his will as a Divine Child, and his Strong Heart.

The blood-red color in his eyes gradually faded, and his entire demeanor became exceptionally cold and sharp.

"Good, as long as you understand. If your sister’s spirit is watching, she would be truly disappointed to see you like this! Especially since she used to like me. If she knew that the brother she admired and respected was in such a pathetic state in front of the person she fancied, she would be so ashamed."

Ye Tianling smiled faintly.

"You... Sigh. You knew she liked you, so why didn’t you... I’m sorry, I’m getting confused."

It was as if Li Xuyao had returned to the past, his memories becoming hazy.

’Since my sister liked Ye Tianling so much, and he knew it, why wasn’t he nicer to her?’

’At the very least, if he had, then even if she underwent the Transformation Dao, she would have had no regrets.’

But this thought was too ridiculous and muddled.

Because at that time, Ye Tianling himself was in a desperate situation. He could barely fend for himself, so how could he possibly drag anyone else down with him?
