Chapter 467: Grandmaster Ye Tianling, I Was Wrong
’The Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique...’
’Half a drop of Divine Blood...’
’Ye Yuemei has already obtained the other half-drop...’
’The Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique... it devours Talent, devours the Heavenly Dao Laws. An existence that transcends the Dao, it can devour anything!’
’Devour Talent to grow your own Talent! Devour the Celestial Dao to grow your own Celestial Dao...’
...
Ye Enjun had suddenly obtained this inheritance, and with it, he also heard the words Long Qingzhuo had spoken to Ye Yuemei.
’So... she’s the mother of the Tianling Divine Son.’
’This is what they mean by "repaying a drop of kindness with a gushing spring." Even with a complete Demon Soul, the limit of my Battle Power in this life would have been Breaking Eight. But with this Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique... this drop of Dragon Blood is a gift of rebirth. Elder Qingzhuo, please accept my bow—from this day forward, I will cultivate the Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique to its absolute limit!
I will find the Tianling Divine Son and impart this Divine Technique to him!’
’I, Ye Enjun, hereby swear an oath! For all my lives to come, without your permission, Elder Qingzhuo, I will never pass the Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique to another person! If I break this vow, may I suffer countless calamities and be annihilated, my Demon Heart shattered, and my Demon Soul consigned to Silent Extinction...’
Ye Enjun was utterly stunned by the incredible boon he had suddenly received.
He knew all too well how terrifying a Cultivation Technique like this was—one that could devour the Celestial Dao and the Talent Origin of geniuses to transform one’s own Talent.
If word of it ever got out, rivers of blood would flow across the land! The world would descend into a state of constant slaughter, with everyone fighting to the death to devour one another, a path of carnage leading to the final apocalypse.
And the first to suffer would undoubtedly be the Dragon Race! This was because the Cultivation Technique had to be activated with the highest-grade Dragon Blood.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Ye Enjun had made the deadly oath without a moment’s hesitation.
Afterward, he began to refine the Dragon Blood and cultivate the Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique.
...
「Inside the Blood-Colored Crescent Secret Realm.」
"AHH—Ye Tianling, you’d better pray you never fall into my hands!"
Yao Qiye roared in fury.
But as he roared, the Blood Demon Illusion within the Crescent Secret Realm materialized a Battle Axe and relentlessly hacked down on him.
He had endured this agony several times already and knew all too well how horrifying it was.
Now, as his Soul was being cleaved once more, he let out a heart-rending, agonized shriek.
’What’s a little humiliation now? Qi Ye, don’t struggle. It will only give Ye Tianling more satisfaction!’
Nine Demon Beauties was also in extreme pain—her condition was even worse—but she forced herself to endure it and mentally consoled Yao Qiye.
Yao Qiye wished he could tear Ye Tianling to shreds, but the moment that thought arose, the torment became even more painful.
This assault was merely a Soul Slash technique, not enough to damage his Soul Origin.
But this only made the pain all the more intense!
"AAAAHHH—"
Yao Qiye writhed in agony, curling into a ball like a beaten dog, convulsing uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, the Blood Demon Illusion attacked without pause.
Finally, Yao Qiye collapsed to the ground, his voice trembling. "Ye Tianling... Grandmaster, I was wrong..."
Yao Qiye had been tortured to the point that his Soul felt as if it had been shattered into a million pieces. The pain had long surpassed his limits.
Tears streamed down his face, and snot ran from his nose. He was a pathetic sight.
His body was caked in blood, dust, and mud. His hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly ridiculous.
But in this situation, no one could bring themselves to laugh.
Xi Junchang watched this scene in silence. He felt a stir of emotion, but he quickly quashed the stray thoughts in his mind, knelt back down on the ground, and kowtowed three times toward the Blood Demon Illusion in the Void.
Only after doing so did the unease in his heart begin to subside.
At this moment, everyone was in the same boat; no one was in a position to mock anyone else.
’This new World is magnificent, and the road ahead is long. To die here like this would be the greatest waste of all.’
’Especially when so many of them had exhausted countless resources and methods to slumber from the ancient Era of Decline until this new, resplendent age.’
’The magnificent part of their lives had yet to truly begin. How could they let it end like this?’
Xi Junchang kowtowed. Bai Changsong kowtowed.
Li Rushan and Die Xin also kowtowed without hesitation—even though they hadn’t been attacked.
But Ye Tianling’s words had been too ruthless: anyone who refused to submit would be hacked at until they did.
They were still defiant in their hearts, and the killing intent had not yet descended upon them, but how could they dare to take any chances? Seeing how badly the others had been savaged, they knew that if they were attacked, they might be killed instantly if caught off guard.
’If they were to lose a large amount of their Origin here, what would they do in the future? What would they have left to contend with the other Divine Sons, Divine Ladies, and Young Venerables?’
’Endure! We must endure! Our day to rise will come!’
Bai Changsong thought the same.
Beyond just thinking this, he didn’t even dare let his thoughts have anything to do with Ye Tianling—for if they did, that would be considered defiance!
And if the Secret Realm’s ’Blood Demon Illusion’ detected that defiance, there would surely be no good end for him.
Bai Changyi’s situation was just as miserable.
As the Divine Child of the Celestial Wing Soul Clan, he was exceptionally proud and defiant. It was this very nature that had forged his incomparably resolute Dao Heart.
Normally, this was a good thing. But at this moment, that resolute Dao Heart had become a tragic flaw.
He wasn’t screaming or shouting, but his face was a savage mask of agony.
Although it was impossible to tell if the Blood Demon Illusion’s killing intent had descended again, Bai Changyi’s face would convulse violently every few moments, his expression so savage it was nearly twisted beyond recognition.
"Ye Tianling... Grandmaster... I... I submit... I was wrong..."
Finally, Bai Changyi coughed up a mouthful of blood. The light in his eyes dimmed as he fell into a near-death state.
He had been tormented the most miserably and had suffered the most pain.
The agony shattered his persistence and obliterated his Dao Heart, causing him to completely break down and submit.
His eyes were the color of dead ashes.
Only then did the Blood Demon Illusion retract its Battle Axe, and its blood-red glow slowly dissipated into the Void.
Ye Tianling’s will also naturally faded from this part of the world.
For a moment, a quiet peace settled over the land.
Mu Yuxi had watched everything unfold in silence. She hadn’t received any punishment. Not only that, but she was surprised to find that every time someone else suffered the punishing slash, her own Soul Origin would grow a fraction stronger.
The increase in strength was quite distinct.
’Is this because... Ye Tianling’s Soul Origin is growing stronger, so I’m reaping the benefits as well?’
A complex look filled Mu Yuxi’s eyes.
