Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

BOOM—

Then, Ye Tianling threw another punch, a destructive blow that swept in all directions. The six powerful cultivators who had been so loudly defiant just moments before were struck down by his Azure Dragon Fist.

SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT—

Seven crimson explosions erupted, and a boiling mist of blood filled the air.

In an instant, Ye Tianling obliterated them with the ease of snapping dry twigs. All six cultivators, with realms ranging from Sword Tribulation Third Refining to the Sword Tribulation Sixth Refining Realm, were blown apart.

His brutal methods left the other cultivators appalled. They all retreated several thousand meters, no longer daring to get any closer.

The scene fell deathly silent. The expression on every cultivator’s face was extremely grim.

Most of the other cultivators, however, now looked at Ye Tianling with expressions of utmost respect, reverence, and even wariness and fear!

’This Ye Tianling is simply boundless in his cruelty! He’ll obliterate you with a single punch at the slightest disagreement! It’s just too terrifying!’

’How could such a being appear here?’

’With this kind of strength, even people like Divine Son Ji Yun are probably only on this level, right?!’

"Tell your brother, Ji Xian, to bring Liu Xu’er here. I’ll give you one hundred breaths’ time. The Hidden Dragon Demon Cave is about to open in this area, so they should be arriving soon."

Ye Tianling spoke indifferently, his tone utterly frigid.

"You tell me to send a message, so I’m just supposed to send a message?"

Ji Hui was enveloped by Ye Tianling’s massive, blood-red Hand Seal, shackled within it, a complete captive.

Because of this, she hadn’t seen Ye Tianling kill the six cultivators with a single punch. They had stepped forward for her, hoping to win her favor or seize the valuable cultivation land. Thus, even as a captive, she believed Ye Tianling wouldn’t dare kill her.

Ye Tianling said nothing. With a flick of his hand, he retrieved the Profound Ice Cold Iron Rod from his Qiankun Ring and stabbed it straight into Ji Hui’s chest.

One side of her proud chest was blasted open. The vicious Profound Ice Cold Iron Rod had nearly pierced her heart.

For a Tribulation Realm cultivator, the destruction of one’s physical body wasn’t a major issue. However, in an environment like this, being so violently stabbed by Ye Tianling meant the injury was by no means light.

"Aaaah—"

Ji Hui’s body twisted in agony.

Beyond the piercing physical pain, the ’humiliation’ sent a chill through her entire body. She was both shocked and enraged, but at the same time, a powerful sense of fear rose from the depths of her heart.

’Beating her half to death at the slightest disagreement...’ This gave her an instant understanding of Ye Tianling’s tyranny and ruthlessness. One could only imagine the dread that now filled her heart!

"Send the message!"

Ye Tianling spoke again, his tone as cold and ruthless as ever.

These methods left Ye Tianyun, who was beside Ye Tianling, completely stunned.

This aura, this disposition, and that unrestrained, devilishly charming demeanor gave Ye Tianyun a very familiar feeling!

In fact, the moment this sense of familiarity arose, Ye Tianyun almost immediately thought of someone—a person whose memory was still fresh, etched deep into her heart and soul.

At that moment, Ye Tianyun even gave up on her cultivation. Her gaze flickered with an exceptionally strange light as she stared at Ye Tianling, as if trying to confirm something.

’Brother? Are you my brother?’

Ye Tianyun didn’t speak, but at this moment, she conveyed her question with her eyes.

She knew Ye Tianling could understand.

Ye Tianling nodded faintly. "What you’re thinking is correct. I am Tianshu. Actually, Yuan Haoning already knows this."

Ye Tianling spoke faintly, his voice not loud.

However, Ji Hui, who was next to Ye Tianling, heard this and her eyes flew wide open, an expression of utter horror on her face.

She had already obediently begun to send the message, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.

But after hearing Ye Tianling’s words, it was as if she realized something. She immediately shrieked, "A Dao Body?"

"Yes, a Dao Body," Ye Tianling replied.

Ye Tianyun was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning. Her whole world turned upside down.

"Wh-why?"

Ye Tianyun felt like crying. Before, that Tianshu had groped her all over; he’d stopped just short of molesting her!

’How... How could he do something like that?’

’Was this something her brother—the honest and simple brother from her memories—would do?’

’How could he have two such extreme personalities?’

’And why could one person enter the True Void Divine Realm with two different identities?’

Ye Tianyun still found it hard to believe, and she was unwilling to accept it. Subconsciously, Tianshu was a demon, while her brother, Ye Tianling, was a peerless prodigy, an unparalleled man, the most perfect being in her heart.

But all of this was shattered by Ye Tianling’s words.

Ye Tianyun felt lost and bewildered, but she didn’t know where this feeling of emptiness and loss came from.

For a fleeting moment, she even felt a sense of dazed confusion.

"There’s no why. It was just a bit of a sick joke. All right, let’s drop the subject."

Ye Tianling didn’t explain.

He wasn’t the type to offer explanations. The many times he had explained things to Ye Tianyun, Long Qingzhuo, and the others were only because he cared.

He still cared now, but to cultivate the Invincible Supreme Dao, he needed a truly Invincible Heart.

And cruelty was the first prerequisite for invincibility. Only by being absolutely cruel and indifferent could he possibly gain a deeper understanding of the Thunder Inference King’s Supreme Fist Intent and comprehend the even more profound Dao within it.

It wasn’t that Ye Tianling didn’t want to create his own Dao, nor that he didn’t want to establish his own Laws; he simply hadn’t reached that stage yet.

"Ye Tianling... I... I’ve already sent the message. Can you... can you let me go?"

Ji Hui had begun to beg.

She had experienced Ye Tianling’s dominance firsthand.

But his identity as Tianshu made her even more terrified.

’Tianshu didn’t just have one great Divine Body, but at least three Ancient Divine Bodies!’

’If you added Ye Tianling’s Sword Venerate Dominating Body, that would make Four Great Ancient Divine Bodies.’

’She couldn’t afford to provoke a genius like that!’

’Just think about what kind of faction must be backing such a genius!’

’Without a powerful faction, how could a genius like this have possibly matured? His flesh and blood would have long been devoured and withered away by the heaven-defying abilities of the Divine Bodies themselves. He would have long since undergone Transformation Dao!’

"How long until they arrive?"

Ye Tianling’s gaze was ice-cold, looking at Ji Hui as if she were already a dead woman.

That gaze made Ji Hui’s heart sink to the very bottom.

If she could, she would even be willing to trade her innocence for a chance to survive.

Unfortunately, it was clear Ye Tianling held her in complete contempt. She had never seen a male cultivator with such a cold gaze, one that so utterly disregarded her beauty.

’That look in Ye Tianling’s eyes was too terrifying!’

"It’ll... it’ll take... a few hundred... no... a few dozen. A few dozen breaths."

Ji Hui trembled all over, her voice quivering.

At this point, she also looked up toward the nine Celestial Roads.

The six cultivators who had previously scrambled to stand up for her were long gone, leaving the scene empty and silent.

The bustling crowd of cultivators in the distance hadn’t rushed forward to seize the so-called "cultivation Divinity aura" either.

Deep apprehension and fear could be seen in everyone’s eyes.
