Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

"What’s there to regret? It’s just one treasure. That Light Wing Divine Thought? Where is it? Take me to it. I will cut it down! If I don’t kill this thing, I’ll never vent the hatred in my heart."

Ye Tianling said coldly.

Ye Tianling had a vivid memory of this Divine Thought previously stalking him with murderous intent.

If not for the defensive power of the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, he likely would have already been killed by this Divine Thought.

Although other Divine Thoughts were vicious and sinister, they wouldn’t pursue him relentlessly. They would automatically give up once he left their territory.

But this Divine Thought had hounded and hunted him, making Ye Tianling suffer quite a bit before.

"Let’s go. That way."

Que De didn’t even ask if they could win. ’Was there even a need to ask?’

Ye Tianling thought for a moment, then put away the female corpse.

Now that he was used to it, the time it took to swap between the female corpse and his own body was extremely fast—it happened in the span of a single thought.

Moreover, because the drain wasn’t significant, the resulting feeling of hunger was nearly nonexistent.

Ye Tianling replenished some of his Divine Soul Origin Soul Qi, then followed Que De toward a cliff in Nine Dragon Ridge.

"This is the place, but I don’t know where that Divine Thought went."

Que De stopped before the cliff, but there was no sense of danger.

Ye Tianling looked at the steep cliff.

It wasn’t dark here. The world was shrouded in clouds and mist, the environment gloomy and desolate. A chilling, isolating aura permeated the air, seeping into one’s very being and giving rise to a sense of despair.

Purple clouds and mist billowed, and the interior was a hazy blur where nothing could be seen.

Without using the female corpse, Ye Tianling and Que De exhausted all their methods but still couldn’t analyze the mysteries within.

The two of them waited there for about two hours, but the Divine Thought never appeared.

However, just as Ye Tianling was starting to get impatient, the billowing clouds and mist suddenly trembled.

Then, a gust of cold, sinister wind blew over.

A wisp of Blood Qi permeated the area.

"It’s here."

Ye Tianling and Que De focused their minds and held their breath, their expressions turning grim.

With a sigh of resignation, Que De took out the Daoist Celestial Essence Hat and placed it on his head.

Once the hat was on, the oppressive atmosphere and the terrifying pressure of death at the scene were significantly reduced.

Ye Tianling also summoned the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, quietly watching what was ahead.

Within the purple void of billowing clouds, a crimson figure suddenly materialized, as if a splash of fresh blood had been thrown there.

The figure of the Winged Divine Thought had coalesced once more.

Ye Tianling wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that this Divine Thought had become much stronger than when he had last seen it.

With a flicker of thought, Ye Tianling activated his Soul Talent and the Eye of Celestial Secret, focusing them and directing his Sensing toward the Winged Divine Thought.

BUZZ—

In his eyes, the Divine Thought was like a bloody light, its entire being saturated with a cold, evil, and bloodthirsty aura.

The entity’s grim, murderous aura was also incredibly dense and completely unconcealed.

"Soul Talent? The Eye of Celestial Secret? Not bad."

The Divine Thought spoke. Its sinister, cold, bizarre, and demonic voice was enough to make one’s blood run cold.

Normally, such a voice would have been enough to fill the two of them with a chilling fear, sending shivers down their spines.

But Que De had been scared by the Venerable Female Corpse before, and his courage had clearly grown by a significant margin.

Obviously, when comparing the two, the Winged Divine Thought’s sinister aura was utter trash.

As for Ye Tianling, he had personally merged with the female corpse and experienced its sinister, demonic aura firsthand, so naturally, he wasn’t afraid either.

The two were merely wary.

"It is not bad. This time, I’ve brought a supreme treasure. If you submit to me, I can let you live. Come to my side and be my loyal dog."

Ye Tianling said.

His words were so arrogant that the muscles on Que De’s face couldn’t help but twitch.

’Damn, well said! He’s even more arrogant than me, Lord Que. Truly worthy of being called the Great Demon King.’

Que De praised him in his heart.

"A dog?"

The Winged Divine Thought’s expression darkened, its eyes like sharp swords staring daggers at Ye Tianling.

But it didn’t attack immediately. Instead, it said, "What did you take from the Emperor’s Burial Altar? Why has the Ancient Forbidden Law there dissipated?"

"So you know about the Emperor’s Burial Altar, and you know I took something?! Then there’s no need for me to say more. Three breaths. Submit, or be annihilated by me!"

Ye Tianling spoke again, his voice even more indifferent.

He gazed coolly at the Winged Divine Thought as if looking at a dead man.

This Winged Divine Thought was indeed strong and could be of great use.

However, Ye Tianling had no intention of letting it go. He didn’t believe this Winged Divine Thought would ever submit and willingly become his dog.

Of course, if it was truly willing to submit, Ye Tianling would only become stronger, and he would be spared the need for the female corpse to fight. That would naturally be even better.

"You think you can intimidate me?! Ignorant ant! Although you are protected by a Supreme Yang Magical Treasure, I didn’t attack you before because I was at a critical moment in my Realm’s advancement and didn’t want any complications. But now, none of those concerns matter anymore!"

The Winged Divine Thought spoke coolly, its tone incomparably cold.

Even though the might emanating from its opponent was terrifying in its eyes, it was still eager to strike.

The only reason was that its opponent’s Soul Talent and Eye of Celestial Secret were its most delectable meal.

"Fine, then I’ll grant you your wish!"

As Ye Tianling spoke, the female corpse had already replaced his physical body.

He had already prepared everything. Now, his connection with the female corpse was like having a Dao Body; the transformation happened in the span of a single thought.

Not only that, but the moment the female corpse appeared, the body began to glow, and Ye Tianling’s world changed completely.

The purple qi abyss, the Chaos scene shrouded in clouds and mist—all of it disappeared.

Not only was the world no longer filled with a sorrowful atmosphere, but it was now brilliantly radiant, mystical, and bizarre.

Seven-colored lights and shadows hung inverted in the Void, as beautiful and captivating as a rainbow.

Streaks of Law Fragments drifted quietly in the distance, continuously releasing a lustrous Dao charm that formed into purple-and-azure clouds of smoke.

This azure smoke was the true source of the clouds and mist.

It was because Ye Tianling’s current state was so powerful that, through the female corpse’s eyes, he could see the true essence of this world and was therefore not deceived by it.

And the Divine Thought was also completely revealed in his eyes.

It was a middle-aged man in white robes with a sinister face, possessing the complete characteristics of a person of the Celestial Splendor Race.

His appearance even bore a slight resemblance to Feng Chaoge, but he looked more defiant and noble.

RUMBLE—

In that instant, Ye Tianling, in his female corpse state with a halo of light flowing around him and both his Bloodline Power and Dragon Soul Divine Blood Power circulating, locked his gaze on the Winged Divine Thought and instinctively threw a punch.

This time, the punch he threw was the Azure Dragon Fist.

This instinctive punch was completely fluid, thrown without a hint of hesitation.

BOOM—

His bloodline surged wildly. Unexpectedly, the punch was incredibly smooth.

And his originally depleted bloodline was completely mobilized by this single punch.
