"Yes, that’s right. You will encounter this, Kunpeng Divine Son, as soon as you step into this river. You must be vigilant. Although being killed in that Blood-Colored Space isn’t a true death, it is still terrifying."

Yami Fei’s voice was grave.

"If that’s the case, then we have encountered something similar before. Still, thank you for the warning, Goddess."

Ye Tianling nodded slightly, expressing his gratitude.

Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile appeared in Yami Fei’s beautiful eyes.

She then blinked gently. Her incredibly beautiful, long eyelashes made her eyes seem to flow with the divine radiance of life, adding to her stunning aura.

"Kunpeng Divine Son, have you achieved Battle Power Breaking Seven?"

Yami Fei asked with a gentle smile, her tone soft as she gazed at Ye Tianling.

The moment she adopted this posture, Yao Ling was struck by a sense of crisis—as if her Tianling Divine Son was about to be stolen away.

She frowned slightly and glanced at Yami Fei with displeasure, thinking, ’Some Life Goddess she is. Usually so pure, aloof, and proud, but the moment she sees my Tianling Divine Son, she starts acting up! Hmph, this woman is definitely no proper lady!’

Ye Tianling had no idea about the jealousy suddenly bubbling up in Yao Ling’s heart. Hearing the question, he saw no reason to hide much.

’After all,’ he reasoned, ’I’ve already revealed my Battle Power before. She’s a Goddess; would she be this polite and proactive if she didn’t sense my strength?’

"Just Breaking Seven."

Ye Tianling said coolly.

"Breaking Seven!"

"And you say ’just’?!"

Beside Yami Fei, Yami Xin and Yami Ling were completely stunned. The two young women’s eyes shone brightly, and they stared at Ye Tianling as if trying to see right through him.

"So you really have broken through. Tianling Divine Son, since your Battle Power is Breaking Seven, do you know that there’s an Imprisonment associated with it?"

A look of confirmation appeared in Yami Fei’s eyes as she asked another question.

"Imprisonment? I suppose so. I didn’t feel much, specifically. I just said a few things that went against the Celestial Dao, got locked onto by it, broke through from Sword Spirit Third Heaven to the Void Realm, and... well, that’s what happened."

Considering her kind reminder, Ye Tianling decided to answer her question.

"Tianling Divine Son, do you know that breaking this Imprisonment requires undergoing a Tribulation? And for this kind of Celestial Tribulation, there are ordinary tribulation clouds, white ones, as well as blood-red and golden ones. There are also three-colored, five-colored, and other variations of clouds that can appear.

Besides the clouds, the size of the Celestial Tribulation itself is also significant. When you broke through, Tianling Divine Son, did you face a Tribulation?"

Yami Fei showed a hint of shame, but her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Ye Tianling. Clearly, this question was very important to her.

Yao Lun and the others had seen the seven-colored Divine Cloud that enveloped Ye Tianling, but they couldn’t see any details about the Celestial Tribulation itself.

Since Ye Tianling didn’t speak, Yao Lun and the others didn’t dare to interject.

"Are you gathering information?"

Ye Tianling gave Yami Fei a deep look. Seeing the shame in her expression, his own feeling of annoyance lessened considerably.

"Indeed. It’s closely related to Battle Power. Since your Battle Power is Breaking Seven, Tianling Divine Son, your Celestial Tribulation should have been three-colored."

Yami Fei’s tone was very certain.

Ye Tianling’s heart skipped a beat.

"The tribulation clouds were seven-colored. The Celestial Tribulation itself was small, but it lasted a long time. As for the color of the Celestial Tribulation... it was indeed three-colored."

Ye Tianling thought for a moment and ultimately decided not to reveal more, only mentioning details that others could have seen or deduced.

"Just as I thought. This means that the Tianling Divine Son’s Battle Power and potential will only become more heaven-defying in the future! Tianling Divine Son, thank you, and congratulations!"

Yami Fei’s beautiful eyes brightened, and she finally seemed relieved, expressing her sincere gratitude at the same time.

"It’s just stepping into the Void Realm. Nothing worth mentioning."

Ye Tianling didn’t let the praise go to his head. Instead, he turned his gaze away from Yami Fei and her two companions, looking toward Yao Ling, Yao Lun, Lu Minghui, and the others.

"We’ve reached the end of the thirty-fifth layer. Next, I plan to go check out that Blood-Colored Space. Regardless of the outcome, I hope you all can enter the Thirty-Sixth Layer. Considering the pressure of the current environment, you can choose to withdraw, or you can directly enter the Blood-Colored Space that the Life Goddess mentioned."

Ye Tianling stated his suggestion directly.

After he spoke, Lu Minghui hesitated, but Hu Teng, Yao Lun, Yao Ling, and Xia Xinqin’s group did not.

They all showed their gratitude and walked directly toward the river. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Tianling Divine Son, we’ll go on ahead then."

Xia Xinqin was the first to step forward, and she entered the river without hesitation.

Like Lu Minghui, she instantly became as transparent as a phantom and then quickly disappeared.

After Xia Xinqin, Hu Teng, Yao Lun, and Yao Ling followed suit. After saying their goodbyes to Ye Tianling, they too disappeared into the river.

Finally, Lu Minghui also managed to overcome the shadow and fear in his heart and followed them.

Soon, the only ones left were Ye Tianling, Gleyun, Xia Xinyue, and the three from the Divine Hall of Life, including Yami Fei.

"Tianling Divine Son—you... you actually helped so many people through the Heaven-Reaching Tower? You’re simply ruining your own prospects! Don’t you know that for every additional Cultivator you carry, the difficulty increases twofold, or even several-fold?"

Seeing this, Yami Fei couldn’t help but speak up again.

Beside Yami Fei, Yami Xin and Yami Ling also stared at Ye Tianling with disbelief.

They hadn’t realized before that the only ones who had reached this point through their own strength were Gleyun and Princess Xia Xinyue. The rest had all been ’carried’ here by Ye Tianling!

Their shock was truly immense.

"Yes, it was no trouble. Nothing worth mentioning. Well, if none of you are leaving, I’ll be going on ahead."

Ye Tianling glanced at Xia Xinyue and Gleyun, paying no mind to Yami Fei’s astonishment.

Yami Fei could only smile wryly to herself. ’Other Cultivators would be dying to exchange a few more words with me, yet this Ye Tianling has shown impatience several times and completely ignores me.’

It even made Yami Fei start to wonder if she had lost some of her charm.

"Goddess Yami Fei, thank you for the warning. I’ll go take a look as well."

Seeing that Yami Fei had achieved her goal of gathering information, Gleyun also said his farewell.

"Life Goddess, we shall meet again."

Xia Xinyue said gently, a bright smile on her face.

"Alright, we shall meet again. We will adjust our condition and then follow."

Yami Fei and her two companions responded to Gleyun and Xia Xinyue in turn.
