Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Ye Tianling had already completed his three qualifying challenges with a perfect record. Refusing a challenge now would have no consequences.

As for Yao Feng’s provocation, Ye Tianling could only ignore him for the time being.

If Yao Feng had truly come from the Soul Burial Starry Sky, or had completed the full transformation of his Three Souls and Seven Spirits and gained Cultivation Resources from two Worlds, then even with all his confidence, Ye Tianling knew he probably couldn’t defeat Yao Feng in his current Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm.

This was no longer a matter of Realm or Battle Power.

Having experienced the terrifying changes within the Soul Burial Starry Sky, Ye Tianling knew exactly how heaven-defying the fortuitous encounters there could be.

An entire World changed on its Time Axis. One could only imagine the benefits a genius would receive from that!

Ye Tianling himself had comprehended the Time Axis and traveled through it. Three years had passed inside, while less than a day had gone by in the outside world.

Now, several days had passed since Ye Tianling had arrived in the current World.

’So how many years have passed in the Soul Burial Starry Sky?’

In the past, the Cultivators of the Soul Burial Starry Sky might have had many imperfections, resulting in low Battle Power.

But as the Soul Burial Starry Sky fully synchronized with the outside world, those Cultivators, as long as their Realms didn’t fall behind, would become increasingly heaven-defying.

Once adapted to this heaven-defying pace, if the Cultivators it produced could manage to ’coordinate from within and without’ with the Cultivators in the current World, they would achieve a state of ultimate Perfection.

If that happened, the power they could unleash would be truly terrifying!

’No matter what, I have to kill Yao Feng. With a secret like this, every extra day it remains hidden counts.’

Ye Tianling’s eyes grew exceptionally resolute.

As for how to act—Ye Tianling didn’t plan to use his real body. Instead, he would entrust this matter to his Dao Body, Tianshu.

"Tianling, are you going to fight Yao Feng?"

Yuan Haoning had complete faith in Ye Tianling now and didn’t think he would lose to Yao Feng.

So she assumed Ye Tianling would accept the challenge this time as well.

"No, I refused."

Ye Tianling’s reply left Yuan Haoning a little confused—’He refused?’

She had thought that Ye Tianling wouldn’t refuse.

"Right. Let’s hurry. You need to step into the Sword Tribulation Realm as soon as possible. The sooner, the better. Before you turn twenty. Nothing else matters."

Yuan Haoning, afraid Ye Tianling might be upset, quickly agreed and offered comfort.

Hearing this, Ye Tianling actually smiled.

He didn’t explain, but walked out of the Heaven-Reaching Tower and headed toward the Imperial View Pavilion.

Meanwhile, on a plaza on the other side of War Dragon Academy, Yao Feng’s brow furrowed, and his expression turned quite ugly.

’Refused? You little brat, you think just because you refuse, I can’t challenge you? I’ll go straight to the Imperial View Pavilion and block your way. Let’s see you try to escape then!’

Yao Feng’s expression was grim.

Ye Tianling’s avoidance made him suspect that the man was hiding some kind of secret.

At this moment, Ye Tianling’s Dao Body, ’Tianshu’, had already completed the identity imprinting at War Dragon Academy, successfully registered, and become a prospective student.

Afterward, he arrived at War Dragon Plaza, activated his Soul Talent, and carefully scanned his surroundings.

After about a hundred breaths, a cold, sharp smile appeared on the face of Ye Tianling’s Dao Body, Tianshu.

Through his Soul Talent Sensing, he detected some Cultivators who had just greeted Yao Feng.

Because of this, Ye Tianling found out who Yao Feng was and also used his Soul Talent to determine Yao Feng’s Realm—the Sword Tribulation Sixth Refining Realm.

Ye Tianling walked straight over. Just before reaching Yao Feng, he pretended to be distracted and stumbled toward him!

"Scram!"

Yao Feng was already irritable. When he saw a handsome youth—a mere cultivator at the Sword Void Nine Transformations Realm—almost bump into him, his anger erupted at the blatant disrespect for station.

With an angry shout, he unleashed a fierce assault of Battle Soul pressure and Blood Witch Bloodline Power toward ’Tianshu’.

"Hm?"

Tianshu suddenly looked up. The Tianshu Myriad Paths Imperial Qilin Armor on his body rippled with a faint cyan aura, dissipating Yao Feng’s attack.

Then, Tianshu’s expression turned cold. His eyes locked onto Yao Feng as he said, "You son of a bitch, are you talking to me, Tianshu?"

"Heh, some of these newcomers really have eyes on the top of their heads! Who the hell do you think you are, daring to insult me, Yao Feng? Good. Very good!"

Yao Feng was almost stunned speechless.

’A trashy newcomer at Sword Void Nine Transformations dares to provoke me? After almost running into me, he’s not only unrepentant and unafraid, but he’s even cursing at me?’

Yao Feng was so angry he laughed!

"Good. Very good indeed. No one who’s dared to say the word ’Scram’ to me, ’Tianshu’, has ever lived for more than a hundred breaths!"

Tianshu’s voice was cold, and he looked at Yao Feng as if he were already a dead man.

"HAHAHAHAHA, you really are arrogant! Fine, a life-and-death battle it is!"

Yao Feng’s face was grim, his blood and qi roiling with near-frenzied energy.

At the same time, his gaze toward ’Tianshu’ was filled with a clear fervor—as someone with the Blood Witch Bloodline, he could sense with extreme clarity that ’Tianshu’s’ bloodline was very powerful.

And this kind of powerful bloodline was precisely his favorite type of ’blood food’!

"Fine."

Tianshu agreed faintly, then turned and walked toward the War Dragon Warfield.

Yao Feng, his body overflowing with Evil Qi, caused a commotion as he too wordlessly stalked toward the War Dragon Warfield.

The sudden eruption of conflict between the two, and the life-and-death battle that followed, naturally attracted the attention of many Cultivators.

Soon after, many Cultivators began sending messages.

People like Chu Yun and Chu Yan, who had entered the True Void Divine Realm, chose to return to the War Dragon Warfield to watch the battle after receiving messages from friends.

On the way to the War Dragon Warfield, Yao Feng also sent messages to inquire about ’Tianshu’. After learning that this person’s strength had even suppressed ’Ye Tianling’, Yao Feng’s expression finally grew a little more solemn.

’Ye Tianling... Tianshu... I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something strange between these two... I hope I’m not just overthinking it.’

Although Yao Feng was filled with murderous intent, he possessed the resources and heritage of two Worlds that had only just begun to integrate. At a time like this, he didn’t dare to be careless.

If he lost, not only would he die, but the core secrets of two Worlds would likely be exposed.

However, he wasn’t too worried about that—after all, he didn’t believe that this World could also produce a monster capable of fighting across Great Realms and surpassing the limits of Battle Power.

’This isn’t the Soul Burial Starry Sky, after all. And Tianshu is nothing like the heaven-defying Celestial Secret Divine Son of the past. I was overthinking things, actually feeling a sense of dread. How ridiculous!’

After a moment of reflection, Yao Feng felt relieved.

The moment his thoughts cleared, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit achieved a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, reaching an unprecedented peak!
