Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Want to Devour Me?

"AHH—"

Xia Qiuhe simply couldn’t imagine that this ordinary-looking young man, who was only at the Sword Spirit Second Heaven Realm, could possess such terrifying battle power.

His body had been run through by a single sword strike. A full three of his trump cards had been shattered, leaving him horrifically wounded in an instant!

He was so horrified he felt he could die!

"You... how can you possibly be so strong!"

He roared, utterly aghast and furious!

BOOM—

Bursts of Dao light manifested from his body as countless Dao Marks splintered open. They coalesced into a terrifying black cloud that enveloped him, birthing an endless stream of dreadful Evil Spirits and an aura of resentment.

Under the impact of this dreadful power, the Killing Dao of the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword was finally forced back.

Ye Tianling couldn’t help but shudder, taking several steps back.

However, when his gaze fell on Xia Qiuhe, a hint of gravity entered his eyes.

"Blood Demon Power?"

Ye Tianling’s gaze sharpened, and his tone grew solemn.

"Brat, you’re dead!"

A terrifying, bloody light flickered in Xia Qiuhe’s eyes. Streams of crimson power awakened within his body, as if a terrifying Demon Soul had been born within his very Soul.

’I didn’t expect to run into a Blood Domain Demon Soul here of all places.’

Ye Tianling murmured to himself. Abruptly, the aura of Samadhi True Fire appeared in his gaze.

’Perfect. A great supplement!’

Ye Tianling mused internally, his eyes taking on a terrifying aspect.

BOOM—

It was as if two crimson flames had ignited in Ye Tianling’s eyes. The Samadhi True Fire Aura caused his presence to soar to a truly terrifying level.

"Hm? What is this power?"

Xia Qiuhe’s expression changed abruptly as an indescribable, terrifying palpitation gripped his heart.

"What power? The power that will send you to your death!"

Ye Tianling said in a low voice.

As he spoke, he took a step forward.

BOOM—

It was as if all the terrifying Power of Heaven and Earth had converged within him. With a single step, Ye Tianling instantly entered the level of the Celestial Harmony Dao.

"Instantly... the Celestial Harmony Dao?"

It was only then that Xia Fansong, who was beside Xia Qiuhe and had just snapped back to his senses, truly cried out in alarm.

Meanwhile, Xia Fanqian, who had already recovered significantly thanks to Elixirs and her own reserves, wore an expression of utter shock on her deathly pale face!

"He... he’s the Divine Child!"

Xia Fanqian suddenly recalled what Yao Lun had said earlier. Her voice grew several octaves sharper as she practically shrieked the words.

Her words made both Xia Fansong and Xia Qiuhe shudder, their hearts trembling violently.

But at this point, it was already impossible for them to back down!

"Even a Divine Child must die!"

Xia Qiuhe roared.

His eyes were also blood-red, so red they were nearly black—a truly terrifying sight.

Seeing Xia Qiuhe in this state, Ye Tianling felt as if he were looking at a familiar old acquaintance. The feeling was very familiar. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

’This is the aura of the Celestial Demon Blood Domain... It’s a lot like Long Fengyang! To think that the Demon Souls of the Celestial Demon Blood Domain have already begun to infiltrate. The Great Xia Royal Family is a Royal Race, after all, and a core power in Yunxiao City. For the core power of such a massive Ancient City to be infiltrated... It seems this World is about to descend into chaos.’

A hundred thoughts raced through Ye Tianling’s mind; even at a time like this, he was still considering such matters.

"Die?"

Ye Tianling shot Xia Qiuhe a cold glance. He didn’t attack immediately, instead choosing to wait quietly.

He was waiting for Xia Qiuhe’s Ability to fully erupt.

It wasn’t as if Ye Tianling had never encountered a Demon Soul before. He had fought them and had even comprehended the ultimate killing move of the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden technique from one. How could he possibly fear this Demon Soul?

Furthermore, Ye Tianling himself was the greatest Demon of all. He could fear anything else, but he would never fear a Demon.

"Die!"

Blood Qi billowed from Xia Qiuhe’s entire body, transforming into crimson-black Order Chains. The chains flickered with arcs of violet-black lightning, looking incredibly evil, sinister, terrifying, and cruel.

TZZT—TZZT—

The chains transformed into countless Sinful Dragons that charged murderously toward Ye Tianling.

"Ah, the Hidden Dragon Shackles. I’ve played with these things more than you can imagine, get it?"

A sneer appeared on Ye Tianling’s face as he calmly watched the shackles descend upon him.

Then, just as the shackles were about to land on him, Ye Tianling’s figure suddenly moved.

He even retracted all of the Samadhi True Fire Aura and defensive energy around his body.

"Ah—"

"Divine Child, be careful!"

"That’s the Blood Dragon Killing Soul!"

Xia Xinqin cried out three times in succession. At the critical moment, she couldn’t control herself and shouted a panicked warning.

The previous fight had happened too quickly, and Ye Tianling’s terrifying Battle Power had left her completely stunned.

Now that she had come to her senses, Xia Xinqin realized the battle had reached such a ferocious and horrifying stage.

"Divine Child, be careful! This man possesses a Blood Domain Demon Soul—it cannot be killed or destroyed! Divine Child, don’t fight him! Retreat! Retreat now!"

Startled by Xia Xinqin’s cry, Yao Lun also began to bellow.

The fur on his entire body stood on end. A cold sweat broke out all over him as a chill shot straight to the top of his head—if the Tianling Divine Son were to be killed here, it would be a catastrophe for the Golden-winged Roc Clan!

And the Brahma Lineage of the Great Xia Royal Family was truly ferocious and unreasonable. They were the most savage lineage of the Venerable Era. He just hadn’t expected them to have awakened and re-emerged so soon.

Only if that one branch of the Golden-winged Roc Ancestral Dao had also awakened could they hope to stand against them as equals.

But as of now, that branch of the Golden-winged Roc Ancestral Dao had clearly shown no signs of activity.

Yao Lun’s face turned pale. He stared fixedly at Ye Tianling, at the endless Order Chains, wishing he could charge forward and block them himself—but it was already too late.

TZZT—TZZT—

A massive number of Order Chains instantly swarmed over Ye Tianling’s body. For a moment, it seemed as if he was being surrounded and devoured by countless Sinful Dragons.

A savage expression appeared on Xia Qiuhe’s face.

"Divine Child? What a joke. His Battle Power might be shocking, but in reality, he only has a few heaven-defying tricks up his sleeve."

"That’s right! The bastard deserves to die for daring to injure our kinswoman like that!"

"Brother Qiuhe, kill him and devour him completely! I’d like to see how that Elder Roc King compensates us for our losses then!"

Xia Fansong and Xia Fanqian had become arrogant once more.

However, the smile and mocking expression on Xia Qiuhe’s face suddenly became extremely stiff.

PFFT—

Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body twitching violently as if struck by lightning.

"You want to devour me? A bunch of trash like you?"
