Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Ye Tianling’s gaze swept across the area.

Every cultivator his gaze fell upon felt a chill in their heart, a cold that seeped into their very bones.

With only two months of Life Force remaining, Ye Tianling seemed to have become completely unrestrained.

Although Ye Tianling himself didn’t see it that way, nearly every cultivator present came to the same conclusion.

’He only has two months to live, so he must have gone completely insane. Whoever crosses him now is just asking for trouble!’

’Damn it, if I’d known, I would have stayed far away from this lunatic!’

’What fucking rotten luck! Who would’ve thought this madman would still be this powerful, even at this stage!’

’He’s making an example of them to establish his dominance! I just don’t get it. He’s about to die, so what’s the point?’

...

Many of the cultivators felt a bitter taste in their mouths. After all, among those who had made it to this area, how many could be considered trash?

And how could cultivators who had become a Divine Son or a Divine Lady in a Holy Land, an Ancestral Land, or even a Divine Land, possibly be trash?

But in front of Ye Tianling, even a dragon had to coil and a tiger had to lie low. Otherwise, the only path was death.

Resistance?

It wasn’t that no one considered resisting. But for those who harbored such thoughts, the moment the idea surfaced, they were struck down and killed in a single blow.

After witnessing the gruesome deaths of the seven Zago Race experts, Xue Fanqian’s submission, and Xi Weidao’s miserable end, no one was willing to resist anymore.

Catching five Yin Yang Soul Fish was indeed difficult, but the demand wasn’t five per person. It was five in total from an entire faction.

When distributed among the cultivators of a faction, it amounted to just one Yin Yang Soul Fish per person, or perhaps even less.

"Ten Thousand Dao Soul Clan, ten Yin Yang Soul Fish. Xi Junchang, do you have any objections?"

Ye Tianling said coolly.

He had killed Xi Weidao, but he hadn’t obtained any resources from him.

His Devouring Law had activated, and while he had gained something, cultivators of the same Realm could no longer provide him with much Origin Energy.

Xi Junchang shuddered. He bowed deeply to Ye Tianling and said, "N-No objections. We... we will do our absolute best to catch them as quickly as possible."

Xi Junchang was genuinely terrified of Ye Tianling. The moment his name was called, it was as if he’d been struck by lightning, and a shiver ran through him.

It seemed pathetic and cowardly.

But who would dare to laugh?

Who would even think of laughing?

"I left a seal on all of you before. And you managed to break it? Impressive."

Ye Tianling spoke again.

Hearing this, Xi Junchang’s knees nearly gave out.

His face paled.

It wasn’t just Xi Junchang. The faces of Die Xin, Li Rushan, Bai Changyi, and the others also turned pale.

If Ye Tianling decided to make an issue of this, their group would truly be in for a catastrophe.

But as things stood, Xi Junchang, Li Rushan, and the others knew their place.

They weren’t Ye Tianling’s match in the past, and they were even less of a match for him now.

Judging by the Battle Power Ye Tianling had displayed earlier, they would now be utterly crushed in his hands.

"Celestial Secret Divine Son... that seal from before... We... at least, I never thought of trying to break it."

Xi Junchang bowed again, his attitude one of utmost deference.

He looked torn between laughter and tears, a wry smile fixed on his face.

"Oh? So the seal just broke on its own? Are you the Celestial Dao’s favorite son? Does it really dote on you that much?"

Hearing Ye Tianling’s remark, a few cultivators felt an inexplicable urge to laugh, but they didn’t dare. They could only suppress it in silence.

"Celestial Secret Divine Son, that’s truly what happened. The New World is in constant flux. Originally, that seal was deadly and severely hindered my growth. But after countless changes, the seal gradually transformed into Energy. Our own Cultivation then slowly assimilated it through Refinement, which actually ended up boosting our Cultivation speed.

As far as I know... the same thing happened to Bai Changyi, Bai Changsong, and Die Xin Fairy."

Xi Junchang said with complete honesty.

He was not an honest man by nature.

But in front of Ye Tianling, he could only be completely submissive, not daring to act out in the slightest. ’I’d still like to live a few more days, thank you very much.’

Ye Tianling simply stared at Xi Junchang with a cold gaze. An icy chill enveloped Xi Junchang, and he felt as if his very Soul was trembling. The profound sense of unease put him under immense pressure.

In just a few moments, beads of cold sweat broke out on Xi Junchang’s forehead.

"Mm, go fish."

Ye Tianling’s gaze swept over Yao Qiye, the Nine Demon Beauties, and the others. He found that the cultivators upon whom he had placed the Tianshu Ancient Town seal were in the exact same situation as Xi Junchang. All the seals were about ninety-nine percent broken.

The last remnant of the seals was also integrating into their Origin at an extremely slow pace, converting into pure Energy.

This was indeed a change brought about by the New World, causing the old rules to become obsolete.

In other words, Xi Junchang had been telling the truth.

Upon hearing that, Xi Junchang let out a sigh of relief, his entire body already drenched in sweat.

That kind of pressure was not a pleasant feeling.

He wouldn’t have been in such a sorry state even when facing a Daoist Ancestor, but the Celestial Secret Divine Son, Ye Tianling, was different.

This man was a true Great Demon King, a madman through and through. No one knew if he would suddenly fly into a rage and strike someone dead with a single blow.

As for fighting back?

After personally witnessing Ye Tianling in action, any thought of fighting back had been completely extinguished.

Not fighting back meant a chance at survival. Fighting back, on the other hand, would often lead to their entire faction being mercilessly slaughtered!

Ye Tianling waved his hand, took out his fishing rod, and cast his line back into the lake.

His Soul Talent quietly reached out, sensing.

Beside him, Li Xuyao, Li Xushan, Tianqing, and even Xue Fanqian all wore looks of deep admiration.

They were also fishing.

Ye Tianling fished for half an hour and caught about nine more Yin Yang Soul Fish.

Combined with the Yin Yang Soul Fish turned in by the various factions, large and small, Ye Tianling’s total count had already reached nearly two hundred.

The Yin Yang Soul Fish were formidable in the water, but once out of the lake, they were like ordinary fish. They lost most of their Abilities and were left completely at the mercy of others, like fish on a chopping block.

"Xue Fanqian, take fifty of them."

Ye Tianling waved his hand, handing over fifty Yin Yang Soul Fish.

Xue Fanqian was stunned. He never expected to receive so many Yin Yang Soul Fish.

"Celestial Secret Divine Son, these Yin Yang Soul Fish possess a powerful transformative force. If you consume enough of them, it could trigger a qualitative breakthrough for you. I don’t need them."

Xue Fanqian refused.

But even as he refused, he was deeply moved.

The Yin Yang Soul Fish were a true treasure; otherwise, why would those Zago Race cultivators have tried to snatch them so desperately?

"They’re useless to me. You take them. Just remember what you promised me."

Ye Tianling said coolly.

Then, his gaze shifted toward the far side of the lake.

Xue Fanqian instinctively looked over as well, but he saw nothing. There was only a hazy mist and an empty expanse of the Void.
