Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

The Divine Thought had already gathered its Slaying Power. A Divine Law manifested, and it lunged violently toward Ye Tianling.

It was a strike meant to dominate the world and slaughter all in its path.

This strike was brilliant, stunning, and unparalleled in the world.

But the moment the strike was launched, the Winged Divine Thought was suddenly startled. An expression of utter shock appeared in its eyes.

"Oh no!"

It cried out in alarm. Under Ye Tianling’s fist, that terrifying, murderous attack was instantly annihilated, reduced to nothingness. It didn’t just cease to exist; it was struck with Silent Extinction before it could even create a single ripple.

What was even more terrifying was that Ye Tianling’s punch contained true Venerable Power.

As the punch was thrown, in Ye Tianling’s eyes, this patch of the Void began to twist. The seven-colored halos dimmed, and all the Law Fragments of the world shattered, swept up and fused into the Fist Intent.

BOOM—

The Fist Intent was like a dragon—an Unparalleled Celestial Dragon.

The phantom of an Azure Dragon, a Manifestation of the Dragon Soul, appeared.

This was not Ye Tianling’s Dragon Soul, nor was it the power of his Huaxia Dragon Soul Divine Blood. It was a terrifying existence identical to the Thunder Inference King.

"This is..."

Ye Tianling was utterly horrified. He never imagined this female corpse could unleash such a strike. This seemed to be the Cultivation Technique the female corpse used when she was alive!

’Why does she know the Azure Dragon Fist!’

’Why, when I throw this punch, do I have such a profound understanding of it, as if it were innate, as if it were etched into my very bones!’

As shock rocked Ye Tianling’s mind, a red lotus unexpectedly bloomed within the Fist Intent. The lotus danced and transformed into a raging Dao Fire.

That flame was not the Samadhi Celestial Fire, but a type of peerless Purple Flame.

The terrifying Purple Flame Lotus burned that scene into an eternal brand.

WENG—

The single punch seemed to transcend Reincarnation, manifesting the Dao of all ages, past and present.

The world visibly darkened.

Ye Tianling didn’t know what Que De was thinking at this moment, but he himself knew that the power of this punch was something that not even the Winged Divine Thought at its absolute peak in life could have withstood, let alone its current form.

The Winged Divine Thought was doomed.

The moment the thought formed in Ye Tianling’s mind, the scene erupted.

It was a bolt of slaughterous lightning.

It even far surpassed the speed of lightning.

As Ye Tianling’s will converged, the Winged Divine Thought had already erupted with a peerless light, attempting to resist.

PUFF—

There was no suspense. The instant the punch struck the Winged Divine Thought, its body split apart, mangled by the Fist Intent and ground into dust.

SPURT—

The Void trembled as if it were shattering. Wisps of rosy light flowed out from the dust of the Winged Divine Thought, landing on the spot between Ye Tianling’s eyebrows and quietly seeping in.

BOOM—

Something stirred between Ye Tianling’s brows. He seemed to have an epiphany, understanding some of the obsessions of the Celestial Splendor Race People.

"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!"

An inexplicable, hateful obsession flooded his will.

And that killing intent was directed squarely at Feng Chaoge.

Ye Tianling came to his senses. The area before the cliff had been thrown into chaos. All the Law Fragments had been cleared away, and the seven-colored rainbow deep in the sky had dimmed considerably.

That’s how it looked in Ye Tianling’s eyes, but in Que De’s eyes, the world had been shattered.

That punch had shaken him to his core.

"Ye Tianling, that punch of yours shattered the world! Did we fall into the Celestial River? Destructive Void Turbulence is raging all around us! How do we get out?"

Que De’s voice trembled; he was clearly stunned by Ye Tianling’s strike.

"It’s not broken. What you’re seeing is just an illusion. Follow me."

Ye Tianling regained his composure and spoke softly.

A halo of light flowed around his body, so Que De was able to see him.

However, Que De could only rely on this special halo to see some subtle changes in front of Ye Tianling. Everything else, just like the scene Ye Tianling himself had seen earlier, was nothing but a void of darkness.

The true Space had not been shattered. Ye Tianling had merely stripped away this region’s Law Fragments.

Or rather, it wasn’t he who had stripped them away, but the female corpse herself.

’Feng Chaoge’s enemies should be the Celestial Beauty Race... but Feng Chaoge cares a lot about the Celestial Beauty Race... If they were enemies, that shouldn’t be the case! Besides, this Divine Thought’s hatred for Feng Chaoge is the kind born from pitying her misfortune and being angry at her lack of fight. Although its words were insulting and its attitude was arrogant, it didn’t really have the intent to kill Feng Chaoge...’

’Otherwise, it wouldn’t have said ’they deserve to be killed’ but ’they deserve to die’.’

Ye Tianling had a firm grasp on Emotions and a keen eye for detail, especially with the Mechanical Heart to aid his Inferences.

’I’m afraid Feng Chaoge herself is deeply connected to the Nine Dragon Soul Poison. There must be a terrifying truth hidden within all this. And that altar might be the key... but I’d need to condense an Emperor Pattern to form a Teleportation Array... That place is probably truly terrifying. If I teleport there, I should be able to learn the truth.’

’But even with the Venerable Female Corpse, if I go there, I’ll almost certainly die.’

Ye Tianling pondered for a long time, feeling that the cause and effect of everything must lie at that altar.

But he couldn’t teleport. Condensing an Emperor Pattern was impossible. For that, even with the Venerable Female Corpse as his foundation, he would probably ’explode’ and die if he tried.

Never mind that he didn’t know how to create an Emperor Pattern; even if he did, he couldn’t withstand that level of power.

Ye Tianling spent a moment in Meditation, recalling the process of Empress Bai Yin condensing an Emperor Pattern from his memories of the Thousand Shadows Pool, then sighed again.

Que De did not disturb Ye Tianling. He knew that Ye Tianling must be thinking things through.

After a good while, Ye Tianling exhaled a breath of turbid air. He felt somewhat drained. For this female corpse to feel this way was a terrifying sign.

It meant she was running out of strength.

If he were to separate from the female corpse at this time, he would surely face an unimaginable backlash.

With Que De still by his side, Ye Tianling was genuinely afraid that something terrible might happen. The scene would be unimaginable.

’The Azure Dragon Fist... this female corpse can use the Azure Dragon Fist. Is she trying to tell me about the cause and effect this way?’

Ye Tianling’s thoughts returned to this point.

He did not move forward. Instead, he first sat down cross-legged and, in the state of the female corpse, attempted to use Visualization on the *Chaos Destiny Scripture*.

WENG—

With this Visualization, Chaos actually transformed into a blooming lotus.

A Flame Lotus bloomed, and from its depths, a purple flame condensed.

Inside the flame, a girl was actually being nurtured.

’Strange... could this be her?’

As Ye Tianling thought this, the scene suddenly changed. A woman in Flame Battle Armor stood quietly in the Void, gazing into the distance.

"Azure Dragon Fist—"

She threw a punch, but the killing intent halted midway.

But from the opposite side, a strike of Destruction lanced toward her in an assassination attempt.

PUFF—

It was a supreme, Invincible Sword Intent.
