Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 144: Talent Divine Blood
"This Array is rather interesting. It seems that Dragon Race bastard has some skill."
Long Tianxiao’s eyes were locked on Ye Tianling. Clearly—from his appearance, Long Tianyu’s attitude, and the ’information’ Granny Qinglian had provided earlier—he had already figured out Ye Tianling’s true identity.
"This brat has some Talent. If we kill him, we must collect his bloodline. It will be of great use."
Granny Qinglian said.
Her tone was extremely casual, as if something like stealing a person’s bloodline was completely trivial.
In her beautiful yet incredibly cold eyes was an absolute disregard for the lives of others.
"But of course. Since you’re interested, Qinglian Fairy, feel free to make your move. All I want is to see his Soul scattered and his body turned to ash."
Long Tianxiao said faintly, his hands clasped behind his back.
He paced back and forth, looking at the Chaotic Stone Array before him with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"To think he’d dare show off such a childish Array. It’s utterly ridiculous. A native is a native, after all. Without the orthodox teachings of our Dragon Race, even with the blood of a Divine Child, he could only grow into this kind of trash."
Long Tianxiao’s superior attitude was on full display, his words dripping with contempt.
Granny Qinglian nodded slightly and said, "What kind of talent can come from a backwater place like this? To have achieved this much is probably the extent of his abilities. A pity—this is as far as he goes."
Long Tianxiao thoroughly agreed with Granny Qinglian’s assessment. He laughed and said, "Indeed. We came this time to cut the weeds and pull up the roots of this bastard, to eliminate any future trouble. As for that ’dear’ clanswoman of mine, since she refuses to serve me and even dares to compete for the position of Saint Master? Then she must die, of course! Among the Four Directions Dragon Clan, each lineage can and will have only one Saint Master!"
An expectant smile appeared on Granny Qinglian’s face. "The position of Saint Master of the Cyan Dragon Lineage naturally belongs to the Heavenly Escape Saint Son. Long Tianyu? From the looks of it now, she’s nothing special! If she hadn’t escaped so quickly, she would have perished long ago!"
Just then, Long Tianxiao stepped into the Chaotic Stone Array, and his figure vanished instantly.
"Hm? This is actually a little interesting. Qinglian Fairy, you should come in and see for yourself."
Long Tianxiao’s voice was suddenly a few notches louder.
"Oh?"
Granny Qinglian was also a bit surprised. ’A mere broken, nameless little Array is actually interesting?’
With that thought, she didn’t hesitate. Without suspecting Long Tianxiao of having ulterior motives, she stepped directly into the Chaotic Stone Array.
Within the Chaotic Stone Array, countless layers of Arrays were superimposed, seeming to form a separate, chaotic World.
There were giant stones everywhere, a scene of utter desolation.
In the violent environment, massive stone pillars seemed to stretch on without end, infinite and unending.
Long Tianxiao and Granny Qinglian could not see each other.
They could hear each other speak, but it was as if they were trapped in the mottled ruins of an Ancient Land. With every step they took, countless stone pillars would shift and weave, attacking with a certain level of Battle Power.
Though the attacks weren’t lethal, they were enough to force Long Tianxiao and Granny Qinglian to take them seriously. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Just manifest a strand of Sword Tribulation Power and shatter it all!"
Granny Qinglian suddenly said.
She had clearly seen through the essence of these weak attacks and intended to break the Array with brute force.
"Such an Array... wouldn’t it be a shame to not study it, after that bastard went through such pains to set it up? Besides, this Array is completely different from any we’ve ever seen. It seems to possess an extremely ancient Daoist rhyme and meaning."
Long Tianxiao immediately stopped her.
"It seems... that is indeed the case."
Granny Qinglian was slightly taken aback, then she, too, noticed this.
Her expression immediately grew more serious. She stopped trying to break the Array by force and instead began to carefully study it.
Deep within the Array, Ye Tianling and Long Tianyu saw and heard this scene with perfect clarity.
"Cough, cough—"
Long Tianyu coughed, fresh blood trickling from the corner of her mouth again.
Her beautiful white gauze dress was now stained red with blood, a shocking sight to behold.
"Little Sister Tianyu, was it Granny Qinglian, working with Long Tianxiao to plot against you because of what happened last time?"
Ye Tianling took Long Tianyu’s hands, pulling her closer to look at her carefully.
Long Tianyu was actually on the petite side. She looked not only beautiful and moving, but also exceptionally Spiritual and incredibly cute.
"Yes, but it has nothing to do with you, Brother Tianling. The Cyan Dragon Lineage is not at peace. The position of the Saint Master’s first Inheritor has always been a competition of life and death. The Dragon Race doesn’t stop this kind of rivalry—only the strong, born from slaughter, can withstand the test.
"This is the rule of our Dragon Race. We can be incredibly united against outsiders, but by the same token, we will stop at nothing to eliminate dissenters."
Long Tianyu tilted her head up slightly to look at Ye Tianling’s face, her voice exceptionally soft and sweet.
"So, that’s why you didn’t bring me back to the Dragon Race right away, isn’t it?"
Ye Tianling’s voice was just as gentle.
"Mhm."
Long Tianyu nodded lightly. Her beauty made Ye Tianling’s heart fonder of her.
It was an indescribable feeling of familial affection and care.
They were connected by blood, yet there was also an attachment that ran deep into their minds and Souls.
"Tianyu, I intentionally unleashed my Dragon Soul earlier because I vaguely sensed you were in danger and not far from me, so I tried to summon you over. I knew that by doing so, not only you, but I myself would also be in peril, and I might even end up dragging you down.
"But I did it anyway, and for a good reason."
As Ye Tianling spoke, he took out a Jade Bottle.
Inside the Jade Bottle, the Divine Blood swirled with a halo of light like a blazing sun.
Long Tianxiao and Granny Qinglian had no idea what was happening inside the Array.
But the moment the Divine Blood appeared, Long Tianxiao still sensed it instantly.
"Talent Divine Blood!"
Long Tianxiao focused his Cultivation Technique and channeled his powerful Dragon Soul, his gaze locking onto Ye Tianling.
His immense strength allowed his gaze to pierce through the Array’s obstructions, letting him see the Divine Blood in the Jade Bottle in Ye Tianling’s hand clearly.
Long Tianxiao’s eyes, like sharp swords, like a blazing sun, were fixed intently on the Jade Bottle.
A mocking expression appeared on Ye Tianling’s face as he looked at Long Tianxiao—inside the Array, he was not afraid.
He had stacked the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation and the Chaotic Stone Array for a total of sixty-seven layers. Even if they tried to force their way through, it would take them about half an hour—this was the result of Little Dragon Girl’s calculations!
Perhaps his opponents were strong enough to shorten that time, but with that much of a buffer, it wasn’t as if he had no chance to counterattack.
"Brother Tianling—"
When Long Tianyu saw the Divine Blood, her petite body couldn’t help but tremble. An extremely complex and shocked expression appeared on her face.
"Tianyu, take the Divine Blood, begin its Refinement, and become a Goddess! Then, kill these two here!"
Ye Tianling spoke word by word, his tone extremely gentle, yet it carried an equally chilling killing intent.
Long Tianyu didn’t take the Jade Bottle. Instead, she grasped Ye Tianling’s hands and said softly, "Brother Tianling, this is true Talent Divine Blood. But... aren’t you afraid that I’ve been deceiving you all this time? That everything I’ve done was just a deliberate act to obtain this Divine Blood?"
