Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

"Nothing at all?"

Ye Tianling snapped.

He swung his arm, slapping Xue Fanqian’s head and driving it into the ground, robbing the man in dark-black Battle Armor of all dignity.

Xue Fanqian was so furious he could have coughed up blood. Many of the Goddesses present were women he secretly admired. His previous arrogance had been nothing more than an attempt to display a refined, superior air and capture their attention.

How could he have known? He certainly had their attention now, but it was absolutely not the admiring kind.

"Celestial Secret Divine Son... I... I was wrong. Please... please, show mercy..."

This time, Xue Fanqian was truly cowed.

This Celestial Secret Divine Son wasn’t just vicious; his methods were terrifying enough to make one’s heart shudder.

When he was first beaten, Xue Fanqian had been plotting how to get even. Only later did he realize that even if he focused all his attention and pushed his power to its absolute limit, he was still no match for Ye Tianling.

He hadn’t even seen how Ye Tianling attacked.

He was being completely dominated!

"’Show mercy?’ You’re my prisoner now. What value do you have? Why should I spare you?"

Ye Tianling walked over, his gaze ice-cold.

That gaze made the fawning expression on Xue Fanqian’s face freeze. He was suddenly at a loss for words, unable to speak.

But still, he forced his mind to race.

Soon, his eyes lit up. He took out his Qiankun Ring, a look of reluctance on his face, and said, "I... I can offer a crucial piece of information. It’s about... Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge... and the Heaven-Reaching Tower."

At this, a flicker of interest appeared in Ye Tianling’s eyes.

"Speak."

Ye Tianling drew the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword and pointed it at Xue Fanqian.

Although the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword had been shattered by Ji Kun, it was, after all, a peerless Divine Artifact with the quality of being able to evolve.

After Ye Tianling had gathered its fragments and reforged it, its sharpness was no less than that of a Sacred Artifact. It was still perfectly usable.

However, the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao it once channeled could no longer be used.

Even so, with the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword in hand, Ye Tianling’s killing intent grew even more terrifying and dense.

Xue Fanqian’s trepidation deepened.

By the shore of the massive lake, the other Cultivators were stunned. Their gazes toward Ye Tianling were now filled with profound wariness.

The Cultivators who had been jeering and mocking him earlier now obediently reined in their arrogance, their expressions turning complicated.

"Then... then do I... do I have a chance?"

Xue Fanqian was resigned. In this situation, what else could he do?

He couldn’t win a fight, and he certainly couldn’t escape.

"That depends on the value of what you have to offer."

Ye Tianling said coolly.

His killing intent was palpable, but he hadn’t yet struck a ruthless blow.

Xue Fanqian had certainly been acting high and mighty before, but that’s all it was—acting. He hadn’t revealed the same naked killing intent as the seven Cultivators from the Zago Race.

"Fine... Alright..."

Xue Fanqian was resigned. If he spoke, he had a sliver of a chance to live. If he couldn’t prove his worth, death was certain.

’Who would choose death if they could live?’

"Celestial Secret Divine Son, within the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge, there is a Life Soul Spring and an Elemental Magnetic Aurora... The area is guarded by countless creatures from the Outer Domain, and the place itself is actually connected to the Outer Domain."

Xue Fanqian hesitated for a moment, then began to communicate with Ye Tianling using a Sound Transmission Technique.

He didn’t speak this information aloud, a clear sign of its importance.

"’How could the Snow Feather Race’s sources be better than the Zago Race’s? It seems even the Zago Race is unaware of this, aren’t they?’"

When Xue Fanqian mentioned the Outer Domain, Ye Tianling naturally understood what that was.

From the behavior of people like Feng Chaoge and the azure-winged Ji Kun, Ye Tianling already knew that the Sword Burial Divine Domain was merely a growing Domain World. It was a ’prototype’ World, not a fully complete one.

If it were a complete World, the New World wouldn’t be constantly expanding and evolving.

"’The Snow Feather Race actually resides on the fringes of this World. Among all the races, we are the ones closest to the complete rules. We have a peerless Law Enforcer among our ancestors, so naturally, we learn of such things ahead of time.

’The growth and evolution of the New World will eventually form the complete Buried Soul Star Domain, becoming a true Divine Domain.

’And the Life Soul Spring and Elemental Magnetic Aurora are the very opportunities needed for that complete evolution. This opportune change will allow us, after achieving completion, to pass through the space beyond the Thirty-Sixth Layer of the Heaven-Reaching Tower and establish a true connection with the ’Heaven-Reaching Tower’ of the outer world.

’Celestial Secret Divine Son, you probably know that on the twenty-seventh, thirty-sixth, or forty-fifth layers of the true Heaven-Reaching Tower, some strange ’Totems’ appear, correct?

’These aren’t actually Totems. They are projections from within the Heaven-Reaching Towers of other places.

’And the Heaven-Reaching Tower is, in fact, a true ’True Void World.’’"

Xue Fanqian was truly laying all his cards on the table to survive.

Since he had started sharing life-saving information, he decided he might as well go all in and reveal everything.

At the same time, he could see that although Ye Tianling was young, the man was utterly terrifying.

Provoking someone this terrifying was bad enough. If Ye Tianling flew into a rage and suddenly slaughtered him, the loss would be too great for Xue Fanqian to bear!

But if he could somehow get close to Ye Tianling, even become his friend... If he could gain even the slightest benefit from such a relationship, it would surely lead to a massive opportunity!

’At the very least, even though being with Ye Tianling would be dangerous, it would certainly be safer overall.’

Xue Fanqian was a Divine Child himself. Every Divine Child possessed their own corresponding Talents, Abilities, and sufficient courage.

Once Xue Fanqian realized he was in a desperate situation, he decided to go all in. He would try to invest in this relationship with absolute sincerity. Regardless of the return, his situation couldn’t possibly get any worse.

Ye Tianling, of course, sensed Xue Fanqian’s intentions.

The advantage of his Soul Talent was that it allowed him to grasp the fluctuations of Xue Fanqian’s inner emotional world, and even perceive some of his less-defined thoughts.

Between this information and Xue Fanqian’s performance, Ye Tianling was actually quite satisfied.

"Be specific."

A thought stirred in Ye Tianling’s mind. He was gradually beginning to understand what the New World truly was.

Many of his questions were slowly being answered.

Ye Tianling recalled how, in the very beginning, Little Dragon Girl had wanted him to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave sooner.

’If he had entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave back then, perhaps many things would have never happened. He might even have dealt with some hidden dangers and learned all of this much sooner.’

For some reason, at that moment, Ye Tianling found himself no longer doubting Little Dragon Girl, Ji Yueqi, as much.

’If Little Dragon Girl had wanted to harm him, he wouldn’t have survived this long.’

As for the woman with twelve wings of light who bore a ninety-nine percent resemblance to Little Dragon Girl... ’She’s probably one of Little Dragon Girl’s elders,’ Ye Tianling thought.
