Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

’If I die here, then with my supreme conviction, I will brand my legacy into this place. One day, a fated successor will take my place, inherit my mantle, and strive to continue the lineage of the Huaxia Dragon Soul Divine Blood.’

Ye Tianling cast aside his responsibilities and burdens, his heart filled with resolve.

He didn’t know if this was the right thing to do.

He knew that by doing this, he was toying with his own life.

He knew he could simply wait for this scene to repeat. Once its Energy gradually dissipated, he would surely be able to leave.

But if he did that, he would gain nothing, and he would betray the meaning and original purpose of his being here.

He already understood. His arrival here was not only arranged by Long Qingzhuo, but she also hoped he could comprehend the Tribulation Crossing Technique for the Sword Venerate Dominating Body.

He understood even more clearly. Seeing these scenes, combined with the Thunder Inference King’s sigh, told him one thing: he had to act. He had to stop that being emerging from the blood-haired man’s brow from attacking the woman in the white gauze dress.

That killing blow, which severed the past, present, and future, could not be allowed to happen.

He had to stop it all from happening.

’But can I stop it?’

’What am I?’

’I’m just a Cultivator at the Sword Tribulation First Refining Realm. But my opponent? He can casually condense a Starry Cosmos and sunder Time and Space. How could I possibly stop a being like that?’

The only way was to climb into that bloody hole.

To use his own body to block the entrance to that ruptured, bloody cavern.

And so, having made his decision, Ye Tianling no longer hesitated.

He walked quietly to the bloody hole. Then, with a single thought, he plunged into the crimson cave’s entrance.

BOOM—

The moment he entered, the World trembled violently.

Ahead of him, a crimson Hidden Dragon Demon Cave appeared.

Yes, the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave.

The environment of the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave had manifested, but this version was ancient.

In the crimson world, a bloody rain drizzled down, instantly drenching Ye Tianling’s body.

The bloody rain had an incredibly powerful corrosive effect. The moment it fell, Ye Tianling’s entire body was corroded into a mess of mangled flesh.

His stark white bones were exposed as endless pain assaulted him. As the rain fell, the Mirror Flower Water Moon Battle Armor he wore proved completely useless.

Soon, all of Ye Tianling’s flesh had been corroded away.

He was left as nothing but a skeleton of stark white bone.

But his bloodline remained. Within his bones, blood vessels snaked through.

Within those vessels, the Dragon Soul Divine Blood flowed quietly, shimmering with a fluorescent light and exuding a lonely, desolate aura.

In the distance, within this world, there was a crimson prison.

The prison had already been broken open by that short sword.

From within, a man with blood-red hair had already walked out of the prison and was heading down this path.

He carried the blood-red short sword in his hand, approaching step by step. His aura was as deep as an abyss, his Evil Qi as wild as a storm.

This aura was terrifying.

Ye Tianling looked at the man. Although they were the same size, in Ye Tianling’s eyes, the man was like an unscalable mountain that towered between heaven and earth.

He himself felt like an ant, a feeling so strong it made his heart pound with fear.

The man walked over, but then he suddenly stopped, his gaze resting quietly on Ye Tianling.

"What have you come here for?"

The man spoke in a very ancient language of Primordial Runes.

But his words made Ye Tianling freeze.

If he still had a face, the look on it would have been one of utter confusion.

The question left Ye Tianling at a complete loss for words.

"Stay your hand. It wasn’t easy for me to get here. I abandoned everything and crossed through Reincarnation just to stop you from delivering a blow you will regret for endless ages."

After a moment of thought, Ye Tianling spoke in a grave voice, also using the ancient and profound language of Primordial Runes.

He didn’t know what to say, but he had a vague sense that this was the Thunder Inference King’s great regret.

After killing the woman in the white gauze dress, the Thunder Inference King must have fallen into an eternal exile of self-repentance.

Perhaps he couldn’t stop what had already happened.

But he could prevent the memory from cycling through this agony.

Combining the information he had deduced, this is what Ye Tianling said.

The man trembled slightly. He looked at Ye Tianling quietly, seemingly lost in an incredibly complex state of mind.

"It is not that I wish to strike, but that I have no choice. This time, it’s either me or him. But I carry too many burdens, and there is too much I cannot let go of... The lineage of the Emperor’s Qi Sword Body must also be passed down."

The man muttered.

Then, he raised his hand and pointed toward Ye Tianling’s brow, as if to kill him.

"You can let go. You can die. The world will go on just fine without you. You’re not as important as you think you are. Of course, neither am I."

After a moment’s thought, Ye Tianling said something very cruel.

The man’s hand was almost upon Ye Tianling’s brow.

His hand stopped.

"I’m not as important as I think I am?"

He muttered, seemingly affected by these words.

A moment later, his eyes dimmed. His blood-red hair gradually turned black.

His eyes, once the color of blood, also transformed, becoming black and filled with dark lightning.

"Yes... I’m not as important as I think I am. After creating the Law of Solitude and Desolation so many ages ago, I still hadn’t understood this most basic truth. How pitiful. How lamentable."

As he spoke, the man glanced at Ye Tianling again. "The Emperor’s Qi Sword Body... For you to cultivate it to the Entry Level in such a harsh environment after the Desolate Ancient Era is truly remarkable. I know why you’ve come, but I cannot help you.

"The stronger the Celestial Tribulation for the Emperor’s Qi Sword Body, the greater the potential it will unleash. The Ancient Divine Body is merely the beginning of the beginning; you have only just started. You must find a way to make your Celestial Tribulation stronger. That is your only path forward.

"As for a Tribulation Crossing Technique...

"When you are strong enough, do you still need a technique to overcome your Tribulation?

"Be strong enough, and even the Celestial Tribulation will submit to you. The Emperor’s Qi Sword Body, where Ten Thousand Swords Submit... and this ’Ten Thousand Swords’ does not refer only to swords."

The man spoke as he pointed a finger at Ye Tianling’s brow. "Your memories are sealed. As thanks for severing my obsession and my Demon Heart, I will repay you by unsealing a memory from your buried past. I will let you know your origins, your background, your history.

"A person with no past can’t speak of a present or a future.

"You must walk your own path. Don’t be influenced by any power. Also, remember this: be wary of the legacy of the Immortal Buddha Divine Clan."

As he said this, his finger touched Ye Tianling’s brow.

SPLAT—

Ye Tianling felt his entire head explode.

RUMBLE—

In the Void, some kind of chains of Law and Order were shattered.

Suddenly, within Ye Tianling’s memories, an azure planet appeared.

That planet was called ’Earth’.

And on that ’Earth’, he was an ordinary boy—one from the very bottom rungs of society, even.

He and a girl were childhood sweethearts. They went to elementary school, middle school, high school, and university together.

The two were also deeply in love...
