Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable
Chapter 350: How Are You Still So Arrogant
"SCREECH—"
He let out a sharp cry as his Sword Soul detached. Gathering the Talent Divine Techniques of the Golden-winged Roc, he roared and focused his Physical Strength, managing to recover thirty percent of his Battle Power and reform his shattered body.
"Ahhh—damn it! Damn you, you worthless native!"
The Golden-winged Little Roc Bird roared and spat out a Long Halberd.
The Long Halberd was three meters long and pitch-black. It radiated a cold, ghostly halo that seemed to pierce one’s Soul, creating a sense of unease.
"SWOOSH—"
Wielding the Long Halberd, the Golden-winged Little Roc Bird viciously stabbed forward.
The attack was swift and brutal, its Battle Power actually beginning to approach Ye Tianling’s.
"Hm? A little stronger than I thought."
Ye Tianling was slightly surprised, but he still threw a punch.
"BOOM—"
Ye Tianling’s punch seemed ordinary, yet it slammed right into the tip of the Long Halberd. His hand, however, was completely unharmed.
Struck by Ye Tianling’s fist, the Long Halberd shuddered and was sent flying backward.
The web of the Golden-winged Little Roc Bird’s hand split open, and his hand was nearly shattered by the impact.
"BZZZT—"
Ye Tianling threw a punch from a distance, unleashing his Destruction Fist Intent. As the punch tore through the air, his Fist Dao Slaughter Will erupted.
"BOOM—"
Although it didn’t physically touch the Golden-winged Little Roc Bird, the blow still landed. His body shuddered and once again split apart in the Void.
This time, he was in an even more miserable state.
After more than ten full breaths, the Golden-winged Little Roc Bird’s form gathered and materialized once more.
However, his breath was now as faint as a silk thread, with less than a tenth of his Battle Power remaining.
Ye Tianling locked his gaze on the Golden-winged Little Roc Bird’s head, but a strange sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
’I’m afraid this Golden-winged Little Roc Bird has some kind of guardian trump card that will keep him alive.’
’I’ve already tried to kill him twice, but he didn’t die as I expected. This just goes to show that under the complete laws of Heaven and Earth, those who can become a Saint Son or Saintess are truly difficult to deal with.’
At the same time, this exchange allowed Ye Tianling to confirm some of his own theories.
’All of my Abilities are still here, and they’ve clearly been enhanced a great deal!’
’But my Battle Power... I’m afraid it will be difficult to approach the Nine Forbidden level again. It seems I can’t just increase it indefinitely anymore.’
In this new World, the laws of Heaven and Earth were a better match for his various Killing Daos. Their power was even further enhanced, making their destructive force stronger and more terrifying than in his original environment.
But once the Power of Slaughter rose to a certain level, the effect began to diminish significantly, and this phenomenon was extremely obvious.
"You want to kill me?"
A vicious glint flickered in Ye Tianling’s eyes.
Even if the Golden-winged Little Roc Bird gave him a sliver of a sense of crisis, he would show no mercy and cut down anyone who harbored killing intent toward him.
"Damn you!"
The Golden-winged Little Roc Bird gasped for breath, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He looked utterly wretched.
But his eyes were filled with extreme indignation and fury.
He snarled, his gaze savage.
"In that case, I might as well barbecue and eat you! With your Golden Wing Roc Bloodline, I bet roasted Roc legs would be delicious."
Ye Tianling spoke lightly. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and an incredibly terrifying Lonely Sword Intent shot out from his eyes.
"TCHH-TCHH—"
The Golden-winged Little Roc Bird shuddered, his mind roared, and he was instantly plunged into a daze!
The moment the attack hit, he realized it was a Soul Attack!
’A Soul Attack technique!’
But it was already too late for fear.
After unleashing the Lonely Sword Intent from his eyes, Ye Tianling’s irises suddenly turned blood-red. Two streams of Samadhi True Fire abruptly manifested in the depths of his pupils.
"BOOM—"
Ye Tianling’s eyes became incomparably brilliant as they once again shot out two terrifying, blood-colored beams.
"RUMBLE—"
The Samadhi True Fire appeared in this new World for the first time, its terrifying power akin to the legendary Nirvana Immortal Fire appearing before mortal eyes.
"CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE—"
The Void itself was burned until it warped and crackled. The Flames twisted together like golden curves, directly manifesting a peerless Fierce Soul that lunged forward to swallow the Golden-winged Little Roc Bird whole.
"Ah—"
Seeing the Samadhi True Fire about to engulf the Golden-winged Little Roc Bird, Xia Xinqin and the other two finally realized things had gone terribly wrong.
"Don’t—"
"Young Master Tianling, stop!"
"No—"
Xia Xinqin, Xia Xinran, and Jiang Xiangning all cried out in alarm, their pretty faces turning pale.
But Ye Tianling still delivered the killing blow.
’Stop?’
’When it comes to those who want to kill me, I’ve always believed in pulling out the weeds by the roots, eliminating any future trouble.’
"BOOM—"
The Samadhi True Fire instantly surged over the Golden-winged Little Roc Bird’s body.
"PFFT—"
His body was instantly burned to a black crisp, turning to fine dust.
The Samadhi True Fire spread directly to his head.
But just then, his head didn’t catch fire. Instead, the flame was repelled by a cyan glow from a Long Halberd.
The Samadhi True Fire was pushed away from Yao Lun’s head. At the same time, an illusion of a Golden-winged Roc materialized from between his eyebrows.
The illusion transformed into a middle-aged man with a majestic bearing.
The man possessed the One Path Sword Ancestor Realm, but this Realm actually gave Ye Tianling a heart-stopping sense of suffocation, the oppressive feeling of death drawing near.
’Sword Ancestor? That powerful?’
Ye Tianling couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath, his heart filled with shock.
Still, he remained calm and composed.
His gaze was exceptionally focused, his expression solemn.
"Who is this reckless fool who dares to harm my son?!"
The illusion solidified, becoming as tangible as a real person.
A terrifying, ferocious glint flashed in his stern eyes and shot out abruptly.
Ye Tianling’s figure blurred as he instantly executed the Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique.
"BZZZT—"
The spot where he had been standing, an entire area a hundred meters in radius, was directly obliterated by that ferocious glint.
"Hm? Young friend—stop!"
Suddenly, the ferocious glint softened. All of its killing intent vanished completely, and the voice even became somewhat excited.
Ye Tianling stopped, his body coming to a halt. He had executed the Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique almost instinctively.
And when he used it, it was like walking through the Void. The Body Technique was even more heaven-defyingly powerful!
The Kunpeng Carefree Travel that he had cultivated in an incomplete world had become absurdly potent in this complete one!
At first, Ye Tianling didn’t understand why, but he gradually figured it out—his Cultivation Techniques all came from the legacy of the Huaxia Immortal Buddha Divine Clan, and were complete in and of themselves.
Cultivating in an incomplete world was equivalent to training in an extremely difficult environment, like training with heavy weights on!
Now that the World was complete and its laws whole, it was as if those weights had been removed, allowing him to use his abilities to their full potential!
More importantly, his Mechanical Heart was a super-optical computer, a super-intelligence. In that harsh and chaotic world, in order to ensure correct Cultivation, the Mechanical Heart had always performed incredibly meticulous calculations. This meant there wasn’t a single flaw in Ye Tianling’s Cultivation!
With that in mind, it was perfectly reasonable that he could now use his various Abilities with even greater ease.
Ye Tianling understood in an instant. At the same time, he gave the Ancestral Dao Illusion a thoughtful look and said arrogantly, "What’s this? Did you realize your piddling Ancestral Dao Illusion can’t do a thing to me, so now you’re ready to beg for mercy, old geezer?"
Ye Tianling’s tone was extremely rude.
And those arrogant words left Xia Xinqin, Xia Xinran, Jiang Xiangning, and the others completely dumbfounded!
’That’s a Sword Ancestor!’
’A supreme Elder!’
’How can you still be so arrogant!’
’Even if you’re strong, you’re only at the Sword Spirit Third Heaven Perfection Realm, just a bit stronger than the Golden-winged Little Roc King! The gap between you and a Sword Ancestor is simply immeasurable! How can you still be so arrogant?!’
Xia Xinran complained endlessly in her thoughts, but at the same time, she was also incredibly worried about Ye Tianling’s safety.
