Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable
Chapter 395: Struck by Lightning for Showing Off, Battle Power Breaks 8
"Ah—"
Horrified, Ye Tianling immediately activated his Nine-Orifice Exquisite Demon Heart and simultaneously burned all twenty-two layers of Dragon Blood within his body.
BOOM—
The terrifying Celestial Tribulation Power tore through him, instantly destroying Ye Tianling’s Battle Armor. At the same time, the protective ward left by the Elder Roc King was annihilated without even making a ripple.
The poor Elder Roc King had left behind a ward containing nearly a tenth of his Battle Power, yet it was now reduced to nothing.
The impact from the ward’s destruction managed to neutralize some of the Celestial Tribulation Power, giving Ye Tianling a moment to breathe.
’Damn it, is this thing trying to kill me?’
Ye Tianling coughed up blood. He had truly spoken out of turn! He had been so caught up in his own satisfying rant that he never imagined he would actually break a taboo!
’If the Little Dragon Girl were here, she’d definitely know how to handle this!’
’Celestial Evil Sword, get out here and block it for me!’
Ye Tianling immediately used his Sword Venerate Dominating Body to control the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, transmitting his will to it.
VMMMM—
The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword shot out abruptly.
Ye Tianling’s heart relaxed, and he felt the pressure on him lessen considerably.
But in the next moment, he nearly coughed up a mouthful of old blood.
The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword flew right out of the Seven-Colored Divine Cloud and even transmitted a peculiar thought to him—this is a trial for your Spirit Transformation, you have to handle it yourself!
"I... Fuck your grandpa!"
Ye Tianling’s face darkened. It seemed the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword had inherited some of the Little Dragon Girl’s ruthlessness and shamelessness. Knowing that the seven-colored Celestial Tribulation was not to be trifled with, it had actually fled!
Ye Tianling’s concentration had lapsed, allowing a massive amount of the tribulation to invade, instantly rushing toward the Blood Secret Realm and the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower at the center of his brow.
BOOM—
PFFT—
Ye Tianling felt like his head was about to explode. Inside his Space-Time Soul-locking Tower, entire sections of the Dragon Blood Region detonated at once.
’Well, I guess this is a blessing in disguise. I’ve reached the twenty-seventh layer in an instant! And the Fourth Layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique!’
Ye Tianling was dizzy and disoriented. His physical body had been struck by lightning until it was almost completely charred black. Waves of a meaty aroma wafted from him, and even he had to admit that it must smell quite delicious.
’Showing off gets you struck by lightning, sigh.’
Ye Tianling sighed bitterly, but the piercing pain in his Soul had actually lessened.
After the twenty-seven layers of Dragon Blood had been unlocked and the Celestial Tribulation struck, all of it fused together into one, achieving a state of Perfection. Like a Spiritual Spring, it flowed directly into his physical body.
Where his flesh had been scorched, new skin began to grow, so translucent and flawless that even the most beautiful maiden in the world would be green with envy.
However, the Celestial Tribulation only grew stronger.
This Celestial Tribulation Power, fine as a strand of hair, was accompanied by a corresponding Thunder Fire. Ye Tianling was once again subjected to that agonizing torment, and if not for his astonishing willpower, he would have collapsed long ago.
Gradually, in this state, Ye Tianling began to unlock his Soul.
At the center of his brow, a blood-red Soul took form. This Soul possessed the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart, the Eye of Destruction, a terrifying Demon Soul aura, and an exceptionally tyrannical aura of Celestial Secret.
Ye Tianling even had a feeling that if he were to unleash this blood-red Soul, his Battle Power would be utterly astonishing.
Even more terrifyingly, Ye Tianling was supremely confident that he could release two such Souls.
’The Three Souls and Seven Spirits... have I unlocked two of them? Dual Souls?’
’I can barely manage to activate the Three Souls, but the moment I think about it, I feel a sense of powerlessness. They must not be mature enough yet.’
’In one go, I’ve reached the Void Realm!’
’I wonder if those people who thought I couldn’t step into the Void know that I, Ye Tianling, have now done it!’
’At the Void Realm, without even using my Soul, my Battle Power has broken seven just with my Bloodline Power.’
’If I were to use that one Soul, my Battle Power would at least break eight, and might even be near nine.’
’My Battle Power is slightly lower than I expected, but under the current Celestial Dao Rules, this is already a rare achievement.’
After this internal assessment, Ye Tianling finally felt a sense of relief.
During the process of being repeatedly struck by the Celestial Tribulation, Ye Tianling felt his Thunder Flame Sword Body being activated once more, forming a perfect balance with his Emperor’s Qi Sword Body.
Furthermore, his Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart, which corresponded to the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, had now transformed and produced a second Soul.
The Seven-Colored Divine Cloud was gradually absorbed by Ye Tianling. He changed into the Spirit Armor he had looted from Hu Teng and Lu Minghui, which he transformed to appear as a black robe.
He had also consumed all of his Creation Spirit Pills, and they had almost not been enough.
If not for them, this ordeal would have been truly perilous.
Ye Tianling spent a little more time stabilizing his new Realm and absorbing the new inheritance from the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower. His Unparalleled Martial Arts from Huaxia had now also been completely integrated into the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique.
While in the void, Ye Tianling practiced his various Cultivation Techniques once more. Only after he had completely mastered his new techniques did he step out from the Seven-Colored Divine Cloud.
TSSSS—
The Seven-Colored Divine Cloud gradually dissipated.
At this moment, Yao Ling and the others were all sitting cross-legged in Enlightenment Dao, and it seemed a long time had passed.
"Hm? You’ve reached the Void Realm? Tianling Divine Son, you spent nearly three days Stepping into the Void. What is your Battle Power now?"
Gleyun was the first to notice that Ye Tianling had finished his Cultivation. He immediately stood up, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"My Battle Power... it should be able to break seven, I suppose."
Ye Tianling thought for a moment and decided not to hide his Battle Power, not counting his Void Soul.
He felt a little regretful that three days had passed so mercilessly.
Ye Tianling had no idea that while he felt the time for his Harmonization Dao and Stepping into the Void was too long, others would have wished for it to be even longer—the longer the process, the greater the blessing from the Celestial Dao, and the better the opportunities and Qi Fortune!
If anyone knew that Ye Tianling resented spending three days on his Harmonization Dao—and three whole days and nights at that, all while shrouded in a Divine Cloud—they would probably have a complete breakdown!
"Breaking Seven!"
Gleyun couldn’t help but gasp, deeply moved.
"Truly incredible. Think of my Celestial Spirit Race, the Children of Nature, blessed with endless opportunities and Talent, and yet my Battle Power is only near seven. Tianling Divine Son, you’ve just stepped into the Void and your Battle Power is already breaking seven. There’s a high chance you’ll break eight in the future."
Gleyun’s praise was sincere, and he was also filled with emotion and envy. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
As for the others around Gleyun, they were simply stunned.
A Battle Power that could break seven was, to them, a peerless myth. In an era like the dawn of the world, it represented an unimaginable, world-class Talent.
"With such Battle Power, if the Elder Roc King still doesn’t know how to retain such a person, if he still clings to sectarian prejudice, then... then I’ll have no choice but to leave the Golden-winged Roc Lineage!"
At that, Yao Ling, as if having thought of something, immediately declared her stance.
"Me too!"
Yao Lun immediately chimed in.
"That won’t happen. The Elder Roc King’s insight is extraordinary. He won’t be that short-sighted."
Xia Xinyue said reassuringly.
