Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Chapter 447: Suppressing Xi Junchang

The Blood Secret Realm was opened once more, and Ye Tianling directly captured Mu Yuxi and threw her inside.

What he had said before was no joke.

Mu Yuxi harbored hatred in her heart, so there was no way Ye Tianling would let her go.

But killing her outright felt like a waste to Ye Tianling. After all, they had been a "couple for a day." The key point was that even though she was molested, Mu Yuxi had actually been very cooperative.

Besides, it was Ye Tianling’s first time tasting a woman of the Demon Race, and it truly held an indescribable, thrilling mystique that he found quite enchanting.

With Mu Yuxi captured, Ye Tianling even thought, ’Should I try tasting a woman of the Soul Race?’

But right now, he really didn’t have the time. At the same time, he truly couldn’t muster any interest in Die Xin.

It wasn’t that Die Xin wasn’t beautiful, but that the woman seemed to have some alien features. It was like a racial repulsion; Ye Tianling was simply unable to feel any Emotions for her.

"You... you... you—"

Xi Junchang stared dumbfounded at what Ye Tianling had done, his heart filled with unimaginable shock.

In fact, the shock he felt was even greater than what he showed, because the Soul Ban technique he had set up himself had actually been broken by Ye Tianling!

And by the same token, when Ye Tianling used a Soul Ban technique, he couldn’t even begin to comprehend it.

’I’m the goddamn Prince of the Soul Race, aren’t I?’

He desperately wanted to roar this out, but in the end, he held it back.

"You... you... you what?" Ye Tianling retorted. "Are you trying to say something, or just sputtering curses about my family?"

Xi Junchang staggered and nearly coughed up blood.

He was rendered utterly speechless.

"Come on, you little maggot, make your move. Don’t make me act first, or you won’t get another chance!"

Ye Tianling chuckled sinisterly.

Xi Junchang took a deep breath. His figure suddenly blurred, transforming into clusters of Soul, which then shot towards Ye Tianling like rays of murderous light!

The power of his attack was truly astonishing. A master at the Late Stage of Sword Void Three Transformations, he could unleash his Battle Power to roughly 300% of its base.

This was utterly terrifying.

Even with a Battle Power of only Breaking Five, once it was unleashed to 300%—and while not quite as exaggerated as a true threefold increase—it was enough to be comparable to a Near Nine.

Ye Tianling instantly felt the corresponding pressure.

But, on the contrary, a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"CHH CHH—"

Ye Tianling directly gathered the Power of Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden Shackles. He transformed Soul Qi into Runes, manifested a Sword of Slaughter, and launched an attack of Lonely Sword Intent using the methods of the Soul Dao.

Using his Soul to gather Runes, and using Primordial Runes to gather Sword Intent for an attack—this was a first attempt for Ye Tianling.

But even though it was just an attempt, Ye Tianling’s Battle Power was already at the level of Near Nine. As a result, a casual strike was enough to tear straight through Xi Junchang’s terrifying Soul Qi assault.

"PFFT PFFT PFFT—"

One after another, the halos of Soul Qi exploded, dissolving into clouds of Soul Qi Particles.

These Soul Qi Particles quickly re-gathered in the Void, reforming into the clusters of Soul that Xi Junchang had split into.

The process repeated itself, like an endless cycle.

Ye Tianling broke through his attacks again and again, but Xi Junchang recovered every single time.

Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent also detected no weakening in Xi Junchang’s strength.

"Huh? This is getting interesting. So he has this kind of technique to split and merge at will? When he takes a hit, he dissolves into a thousand pieces. When he attacks, a thousand souls merge into one! Interesting!"

Ye Tianling smiled.

Then, he unleashed his killing intent just as before.

But this time, he wasn’t gathering his Lonely Sword Intent, but the Samadhi True Fire and the Power of Karmic Fire.

After condensing this Flame aura, Ye Tianling forged it into a Sword of Slaughter and unleashed the incredibly heaven-defying Soul-Slaying Dao!

That’s right, the Soul-Slaying Dao.

The Soul-Slaying Dao, an advanced inheritance from the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower.

"PFFT PFFT PFFT—"

With another strike, his form was shattered into countless Soul Qi Particles once more.

"It’s useless! If this is the limit of your Battle Power, then you’re dead!"

Xi Junchang’s eyes turned bloodshot. In truth, repeatedly using the Netherworld Demon Soul Technique was taking its toll on him, but he had to pretend to be calm to make Ye Tianling feel despair—’I’m unkillable, so go ahead and try to kill me!’

"Heh, is that so? You can still act so nonchalant?"

Ye Tianling sneered. He then unleashed the auras of Samadhi True Fire and Karmic Fire, and at that moment, his Soul-Slaying Dao erupted with terrifying power.

"CHH CHH—"

Suddenly, as the shattered Soul Qi Particles began to regroup into clusters of Soul Spirit Qi, tiny sparks of fire, like fireflies, abruptly flared to life.

"AHH—"

At that moment, Xi Junchang’s eyes widened to their limits as he stared deathly at Ye Tianling.

"PFFT—"

"BOOM—"

The countless sparks converged, and the Karmic Fire blazed. For a Soul, could there be any method more terrifying than this?

What was even more terrifying was that the Samadhi True Fire and Karmic Fire contained certain Talents from Ye Tianling’s Thunder Flame Sword Body.

And what was the Thunder Flame Sword Body? It was the Divine Body of Thunder Flame Divine Punishment!

It contained the Thunder Will!

This will embodied the rules of divine punishment, a specific counter to Souls!

The Soul Race specialized in the Soul, so this was a truly crushing blow.

If Xi Junchang had noticed the Flame aura within his Soul Qi Particles earlier, he wouldn’t have suffered such a devastating loss.

But when these Soul Qi Particles combined with his Soul, the Flame aura within them spread completely, like a drop of ink dispersing through clear water.

At this point, trying to separate it out was nearly impossible.

"AHH—"

Xi Junchang suddenly screamed miserably. He could no longer care about his image and almost instantly activated all of his foundational techniques.

Streams of icy Soul Qi poured out from his Soul. Although it did slow the burning of his Soul Qi slightly, it was barely better than nothing.

"AHH—"

One after another, his Guardian Foundations shattered, completely unable to resist the assault of this Flame.

It was a perfect counter; the fight was no longer winnable.

Xi Junchang used the methods of Soul Battle to construct a Battle Soul Battlefield, attempting to drag Ye Tianling inside. However, Ye Tianling used his Samadhi True Fire Aura to instantly burn through the area constructed by his Soul, incinerating the clusters of Soul completely.

"PFFT—"

At the critical moment, Xi Junchang performed a forced Soul Slash. Revealing a second Soul, he completely severed and extinguished his first, burning Soul. This drastic measure preserved nearly seventy percent of his strength.

After this gambit, his Soul exploded into countless rays of Soul Blood light and fled frantically into the distance.

’Trying to escape?’

With a single thought, Ye Tianling unleashed the Ten Thousand Thoughts in One Heart Sword Technique. A terrifying wave of Soul Power swept out, hunting down the fleeing lights in all directions.

The Samadhi True Fire and Karmic Fire had devoured a great deal of Soul Energy, and Ye Tianling’s strength advanced another level.
