Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Endless chaotic energy, currents of Destruction, and raging waves of Force Qi.

Endless rubble, dust, and sand; endless Dao Principle Radiance and worldly light—all were swallowed by darkness and annihilated.

Nothing survived.

Yao Yuan’s figure split into two, then four, forming a series of steps as he accelerated his escape, leaving afterimages in his wake.

But the dark Arrow was faster. As it caught up to Yao Yuan’s afterimages, they were destroyed one by one, disintegrating into dust without any power to resist.

Everyone’s expression changed, even that of a Daoist Ancestor at the One Path Sword Ancestor Realm like Master Qian Ye.

’If I faced that kind of power, I would die too!’

This was the first time Qian Ye had discovered that an ’ant’ at the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm could slay a Daoist Ancestor!

Yes, Tianshu could do it!

If Tianshu could unleash such an attack multiple times, then slaying a One Path Sword Ancestor would be no problem for him at all!

Qian Ye’s expression grew solemn.

As for Yao Yuan, he was so terrified his liver and gallbladder nearly burst.

He had lost a Dao Body, one derived from the Thief-Devouring Spirit of his Seven Spirits.

While he was in agony, his body feeling as if it were being pierced by ten thousand swords, the afterimage derived from his second Dao Body—the Foul Lung Spirit—also disintegrated into dust.

Yao Yuan’s face twitched, his expression turning utterly hideous.

But now, he had no strength left to resist.

"Save—save me! Mansion Master, save me! I don’t want to die!"

Yao Yuan roared, only to realize with horror that the Arrow seemed to have manifested a phantom of a Demon God, which was sneering at him.

It was the sneer of the cruelest, most indifferent Slaughterer—exactly like the look Yao Yuan himself gave the ’ants’ he usually killed.

Yao Yuan’s eyes bulged, as if he were seeing his own final destiny.

In that instant, his vision froze.

He saw his own head pierced by a black light. He saw... he saw his own body burning in a raging Flame.

’My eyeballs flew out, and I saw the scene just before my own death...’

In that moment, such a thought even crossed Yao Yuan’s mind.

But this thought, too, instantly faded into darkness as everything fell silent.

The Arrow disappeared.

The Baiyu Demon God Radiant Bow returned to a state of calm.

It was like a king’s return, a Demon God’s awakening.

The Li Fire from the Li Huo Sword, and Yao Yuan’s Essence, Qi, and Soul—all had vanished.

The black chasm also returned to normal in that instant.

The aura of the Baiyu Demon God Radiant Bow was now deeper and more mysterious, and its compatibility with Tianshu had reached a new, unprecedented level.

That one Arrow had successively slain the ten afterimages Yao Yuan had derived from his Three Souls and Seven Spirits using a miraculous Cultivation Technique.

In the end, it pierced through Yao Yuan’s head, killing him and turning him to dust.

Yao Yuan was dead.

Yet, the scene remained deathly silent.

After a long time, the Guardian formation over War Dragon dissipated. Qian Ye and Feng Caiyi had withdrawn their protection over the area.

"Tianshu, you have proven yourself. You are exempt from the assessment. Eighteen years old, a Loose Cultivator, possessing Three Great Ancient Divine Body Talents, wielding unparalleled Bloodline Power, and in Control of a Celestial Dao Law Flame that is at least Divine Level... Tianshu, I now bestow upon you the title of ’Divine Child’ of the War Dragon Academy. You may take up residence in the Celestial Palace, the second exclusive courtyard of the War Dragon Academy.

Do you accept?"

Hearing this, Ye Tianling was quite satisfied.

’This is the result I wanted.’

His Dao Body, Tianshu, still wore a cold, wild, and devilishly charming expression.

Upon hearing the offer, he simply gave a faint nod and said, "Fine. I accept."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the crowd before landing directly on Ye Tianling. He said coldly, "Now, I challenge for the right to reside in the Imperial View Pavilion. Ye Tianling, will you fight me?!"

Ye Tianling looked at Tianshu, shrugged, and said dismissively, "You want to live in the Imperial View Pavilion? You can keep dreaming. I’ve already used up my challenge chances. Just wait patiently. Wait a month or two, and if I’m in a good mood, I’ll let you have it!"

Ye Tianling’s brazen attitude stunned all the Cultivators present.

"Is this Unparalleled Celestial Dragon really going to fight Tianshu?"

"How arrogant! Tianshu just demonstrated the Battle Power to slay a One Path Sword Ancestor, yet Ye Tianling dares to speak to him like that?"

"Truly... the world of geniuses is something we can’t comprehend."

"Terrifying! I was breaking out in a cold sweat just hearing Ye Tianling talk."

"This Ye Tianling guy... why do I get the feeling he’s a total goofball? Does he even know how to talk?"

...

Many of the Cultivators were utterly speechless.

Yuan Haoning was also at a loss for words at Ye Tianling’s actions.

And yet, she was also a little moved.

She thought Ye Tianling was standing up for her!

’I’m so pathetic. When I saw Tianshu’s performance earlier, I was instinctively drawn to him again.’

The more this happened, the more she felt she had wronged Ye Tianling.

"Tianling, if you’re doing this to stand up for me, there’s really no need. He’s too powerful. You should avoid provoking him!"

Yuan Haoning transmitted in a low voice.

But Ye Tianling paid her no mind.

’Tianshu? So badass? That’s me! Why would I kill myself?’

The only reason he was doing this was to make a splash and build up a reputation for both himself and Tianshu. This way, no one would ever suspect they were the same person!

"Hm? You’re quite arrogant!"

Tianshu stared at Ye Tianling, a half-smile on his face, mixed with a hint of pride and mockery.

"That’s right, I am this arrogant. So what? You want to live in the Imperial View Pavilion? Just wait obediently for a month or two. Maybe by then I’ll be tired of living there and hand it over to you."

Ye Tianling shrugged and chuckled.

"Tianshu Divine Son, fight him to the death! Kill him!"

A Cultivator incited in a low, hidden voice.

Upon hearing this, Tianshu instantly locked onto the speaker.

It was a young man named Yao Li. He thought that by keeping his voice low and transmitting it through vibrations, he would be difficult to detect.

But the moment he finished speaking, Tianshu directly activated his Eye of Destruction. A vertical eye opened on his forehead, shooting out a terrifying beam of deadly light.

SHOOOSH—

The deadly light shot out like a sword, instantly piercing through the Void.

PFFT—

Yao Li’s eyes widened as blood spurted from the back of his head, spraying all over the faces of the three young men and women next to him.

The three of them screamed, nearly fainting from fright.

Yao Li’s body trembled once before he fell backward.

"Vicious in heart and mind. Deserves to die!"

Tianshu spoke, his words as cold as ice.

The fervent discussions in the crowd instantly ceased. It was as if all the disciples had been strangled, none daring to speak.

"Alright, this incident has gotten out of hand, and the assessments are about to begin. For the time being, all life-and-death battles are forbidden. The Celestial Platform on the Void Floating Platform will also be closed, and challenges will not be permitted for now.

I will announce a specific reopening time later.

Additionally, Tianshu, Ye Tianling, you are both rare geniuses, but remember to maintain a humble heart. Your Battle Power is indeed immense and extraordinary, allowing you to fight enemies seven or eight Small Realms above you, approaching the Near Nine Forbidden level. But the emergence of the Taiyin Ancient Tomb also means that the connection between the Heaven-Reaching Tower and other Star Domains has opened.

At that time, true Ancient Land Saint Son and Saintess, Prince and Princess, and Divine Son and Divine Lady will emerge.

At that time, even with your Talents, you might not rank among the very best...

Cultivate well. The War Dragon Academy will soon attempt to open the Forbidden Areas of the ’Blood-Colored Wilderness’ and the ’Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave’, allowing you to step out of the ’Newbie Area’ and explore the outside world... For now, both of you, try to behave yourselves..."

Feng Caiyi flew out and began to stabilize the situation.
