Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Chapter 596: Soul-Reaping Bell Toll

Ye Tianling didn’t say much. With a wave of his hand, he sent over fifty Yin Yang Soul Fish.

Xue Fanqian no longer refused. He materialized a huge Jade Bottle and stored them inside.

Then, without any ceremony, Xue Fanqian began to eat them one by one.

Ye Tianling then divided the remaining one hundred and fifty among Tianqing, Li Xuyao, and Li Xushan.

The three of them hesitated slightly, but they all accepted in the end.

Ye Tianling waited quietly, his Samadhi Celestial Fire Aura enveloping the four of them.

Under the enhancement of his Celestial Fire Aura, the four of them quickly completed their Refinement of the Yin Yang Soul Fish. The strength of their auras was now approaching that of Kong Lindao.

Among them, even the weakest, Li Xushan, now possessed an astonishing Battle Intent. His Battle Power was on the verge of touching the Nine Forbidden, and he could unleash nearly 300% of his full power!

This was utterly terrifying.

After they had each consumed a total of nearly seventy Yin Yang Soul Fish, the fish’s effects on them began to taper off.

Afterward, the four of them caught two or three more Yin Yang Soul Fish, but the effects of consuming them were noticeably weaker.

It was as if Ye Tianling had calculated this exact limit.

In the distance, many Cultivators watched the changes in Li Xuyao’s group with incomparable envy, their hearts filled with extreme jealousy.

The moods of people like Celestial Praise, Celestial Seal, and Tianyi were naturally very complicated.

Ye Tianling’s gaze fell upon the Void above the lake’s surface.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply.

On the mist-shrouded surface of the lake, a mountain had suddenly appeared.

A pale blue mountain range, like an ancient glacial formation, emerged from the water.

In this nearly black-and-white World, such an azure, glacier-like mountain range seemed exceptionally strange and bizarre.

The mountain range gradually rose higher, as if it would pierce through Heaven and Earth, its sheer height becoming suffocating.

This mountain was like a new Manifestation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge from outside the cave, an unsettling and heart-pounding sight.

The mountain range finally stopped growing. The entire vast lake had transformed into clusters of clouds and mist that drifted through this part of Heaven and Earth.

The Yin Yang Soul Fish swimming in the lake seemed to transform into white cranes, sprouting wings and soaring through the clouds.

An ancient palace was faintly visible on the mountain range.

The faint sound of a bell tolled from within.

A bell chimed, like a vesper bell at dusk, its deafening ring causing one’s very soul to tremble.

As the melodious toll of the bell manifested, wisps of an ancient aura immediately filled Heaven and Earth.

Then, another bell rang out. These wisps of ancient aura began to color the black-and-white World.

Some color returned to Heaven and Earth, and the deathly silent environment became filled with vitality.

The many Cultivators surrounding the lake were gradually enveloped by the encroaching mist, yet they didn’t notice a thing.

The ancient palace seemed to be moving, gradually drawing closer to the Cultivators on the scene.

DONG—

Another bell tolled. Even with Ye Tianling’s Cultivation, Ability, and the peerless power of his Soul Talent, his Soul couldn’t help but shudder, as if it had been completely stunned by the sound.

Streaks of mist drifted over.

Suddenly, a chill ran through Ye Tianling, and he felt a cold aura spreading everywhere.

Deep within his brow, the long-dormant Space-Time Soul-locking Tower and Blood Secret Realm began to vibrate violently. They erupted with a terrifying Vibrating Power that instantly jolted Ye Tianling back to his senses.

By now, the white mist had already reached Li Xushan.

Ye Tianling’s pupils trembled. Li Xushan’s eyes were vacant, yet they held a look of extreme fanaticism.

VWOOM—

His figure shot forward like a streak of Flowing Light, charging straight into the white mist.

As he ran, his near-Saint Level Defensive Battle Armor actually began to corrode.

"Get back here!"

Ye Tianling gathered his power into a Soul-Suppressing Sound, directing the shockwave at Li Xuyao, Li Xushan, Tianqing, and Xue Fanqian.

Besides Li Xushan, Li Xuyao had actually already woken up the moment Ye Tianling shouted.

Xue Fanqian and Tianqing were only a ten-thousandth of a breath slower.

Li Xushan, however, did not regain his senses and continued to charge forward.

It wasn’t just Li Xushan. Ye Tianling spread his Soul Talent and activated his Eye of Celestial Secret.

He saw many more Cultivators charging forward as if they had gone mad.

Among them were the three from the Immortal Sacred Land: Qin Xingchen, Qin Xingyi, and Qin Xingzhou.

And the three from the Celestial Blood Ancient Clan: Xiao Qin, Xiao Xin, and Xiao Wan.

And the four from the Great Xia Royal Family: Xia Xinqin, Xia Xinyue, Xia Xinqi, and Xia Xinzhen.

And the two from the Holy Heaven Ancestral Land: Celestial Seal and Celestial Praise.

And many, many more.

From every Divine Land Ancestral Land, more than seventy percent of the Cultivators had fallen under the spell. Controlled by the bell tolls, they ran frantically toward the white clouds.

In contrast, the Golden-winged Roc Lineage was rather fortunate. They were a good distance away, and their Double Golden Boys and Jade Girls awoke at the first moment, shouting their clansmen like Yao Ling and Yao Lun awake and allowing them to escape the same fate.

...

SSSSSS—

Soon, Li Xushan’s near-Saint Level Battle Armor was completely corroded away.

His Bloodline Power and other defenses had no effect at all. His flesh began to rot and fall off piece by piece.

SLOSH SLOSH SLOSH—

His flesh and blood rotted, falling off in chunks.

Every Cultivator who rushed into the white clouds suffered the same fate.

The scene was shockingly gruesome.

Li Xuyao watched, his eyes nearly splitting with rage and grief. He took an instinctive step forward.

But the moment he took that step, his expression changed drastically, and he retreated as fast as lightning.

The next moment, white mist began to rise from his body, and he trembled slightly.

A thoughtful look crossed Ye Tianling’s face. He gathered the aura of his Samadhi Celestial Fire Power, shrouded himself in it, and then took a step forward.

VWOOM—

With that single step, both his Soul Talent and his Samadhi Celestial Fire Aura were instantly suppressed.

At the same time, Ye Tianling’s Life Force was depleted by one full day in an instant.

It was as if a terrifying power of Destruction had instantly swept away his vitality.

Deep within his brow, Ye Tianling’s Space-Time Soul-locking Tower and the Blood-Colored Crescent Secret Realm both began to vibrate at almost the same time, as if they were about to be ripped from his body.

A cold sweat broke out over Ye Tianling’s body, and he too retreated.

In that mere ten-thousandth of a second, he had also suffered an astonishing loss.

Ye Tianling took another step back, putting more distance between himself and the white mist.

PLOP PLOP PLOP—

Li Xushan, who had charged into the white clouds, quickly had all the flesh rotted from his body.

His entire body had been reduced to white bones.

His head became a skull. He was completely dead.

Even his Soul had been completely corroded away.

But even as a skeleton, he continued to walk forward.

Gradually, his skeleton was also corroded until it could no longer support itself, collapsing into the clouds with a RATTLE.

The cranes cried out as they swooped past, absorbing and devouring all the bone dust left behind by the corrosion.
