Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 151: Long Tianyu’s Demise
Ye Tianling turned around. He saw the Spirituality in Long Tianyu’s eyes slowly fade, her gaze growing exceptionally dim.
His heart jolted, and an indescribable, stabbing pain welled up within him.
Earlier, when Little Dragon Girl had summoned Long Tianyu, she had mentioned it—Long Tianyu was on the verge of death.
Little Dragon Girl’s judgment came from the Mechanical Heart, meaning its accuracy was nearly one hundred percent!
And yet, he had somehow forgotten that. All he had seen was the moment she forced her way through the Tribulation to protect him.
But now, Ye Tianling instantly realized what was happening.
POP POP POP POP POP—
Inside Long Tianyu’s body, her meridians began to rupture one after another.
Even then, she was still transferring her Cyan Dragon Soul Origin Power to Ye Tianling, and he was powerless to stop her.
’Tianyu... I’m not actually as talented or powerful as you think. But for you, I can master the Thunder Will, shatter the myriad shackles of the Dao, and battle the very heavens.’
Ye Tianling knew it wasn’t that Long Tianyu didn’t want to restore her Talent.
It was just that, in her current state, Long Tianyu was likely already a spent force.
Otherwise, Long Tianyu would never have let Granny Qinglian go.
And even so, Long Tianyu still transferred her remaining Dragon Soul Power to him.
What was Dragon Soul Power?
It was the Origin Power of the Dragon Race, a power that came from the Dragon Crystal.
A Dragon Crystal was equivalent to a Demon Beast’s Crystal Core, or to a human’s Lifebound Essence Blood and Origin Energy.
Expending this kind of Energy, even once, would damage one’s foundation and cause immense harm to their Origin and Realm.
Yet when Long Tianyu did this, she never mentioned a single word about the danger. In fact, she had transferred it without a moment’s hesitation.
It had been like this the first time they met.
And now, it was happening again.
"Brother, you’re so kind."
After Long Tianyu spoke, the spark in her eyes vanished completely. All over her body, Thunder Tribulation Power began to manifest.
The Celestial Tribulation in the void failed to coalesce again, instead dissipating bit by bit.
Long Tianyu had failed her Tribulation.
The process was far from the success she had claimed, having recovered eighty percent of her strength.
Her so-called "recovery" was, in reality, just superficial.
She had used this facade to deceive Long Tianxiao and Granny Qinglian, and her deception had been extremely successful.
Ye Tianling could only imagine how much pressure Long Tianyu must have been under while he was devouring the Celestial Tribulation for his own transformation.
"No, I’m not good. I’m a Demon! I’m useless... I couldn’t protect my sister."
Before Ye Tianling could finish, Long Tianyu reached out and covered his mouth.
Her eyes were vacant, her pupils even starting to dilate.
Her hand was incredibly cold, as if it were about to freeze solid.
"Brother... you’re the best. I’m... very happy. After I’m gone, you... just bury me in the Jiyu Icy Cave, so I can be with the Snowfield Snow Mountain..."
Long Tianyu’s consciousness was already slipping into a delirious state.
It was like a sudden, catastrophic collapse of her health.
When the Celestial Tribulation was cut short.
When her Dragon Soul shattered.
When all her meridians burst.
Her Life Qi had faded to almost nothing.
"No, Tianyu, hold on! If you die, I’ll undergo Transformation Dao right now and go with you, so you won’t be alone on the path to the Yellow Springs."
Ye Tianling choked back a sob.
Tears streamed down his face.
The hot tears fell onto Long Tianyu’s exquisite, pale face.
Long Tianyu didn’t speak.
Tears welled up in her hollow, vacant eyes and streamed down her temples.
’Little Dragon Girl, draw out my Dragon Blood! Give her the Mechanical Heart, okay? I don’t want the Huaxia Dragon Soul Inheritance anymore.’
Ye Tianling thought with sudden, unshakable resolve.
"Are you certain? You’re willing to give up everything for her? Once you renounce the Huaxia Divine Blood inheritance, you will immediately undergo Transformation Dao and be utterly annihilated."
Little Dragon Girl’s voice was incredibly serious.
It was still just as childlike, but... it held a strangely different timbre.
’I’m certain! Certain! Absolutely certain!’
Ye Tianling replied in his mind without a hint of hesitation.
’If Long Tianyu died, what meaning would there be for him to go on living?’
’In this entire world, no one had ever been so good to him.’
’And it was impossible that anyone ever could be again.’
"I was wrong. You do have one good quality, actually."
Little Dragon Girl said suddenly.
’I don’t want any good qualities! I don’t want anything! I just want her to live.’
Ye Tianling suppressed the trembling of his heart and roared in his mind.
"The chosen successor for the Huaxia Inheritance is one of a kind. Giving it to her won’t save her from her current predicament. However, you can save her yourself. There are two ways."
Little Dragon Girl said immediately.
’What are they?’
Ye Tianling immediately asked with urgency in his mind.
"First, Yin Yang Harmony. Obtain the true Yin Yang Harmony Method, then perform Yin Yang Harmony with her on a physical, Sword Soul, and Soul level. This way, she can achieve Nirvana. She might even have a chance to break the Eight Prohibitions Shackles, step into the level of Nine Forbidden Battle Power, and transform into a Goddess."
Ye Tianling was stunned. ’She’s my own sister!’ he thought. ’I’m not an animal!’
"Mm-hm. And?" Little Dragon Girl replied.
Ye Tianling was speechless for a long moment.
Little Dragon Girl continued, "First, your bloodline and Soul have long been completely altered by the Huaxia bloodline. They have no connection to hers. Your supposed familial relationship is only in your own mind. Second, the Dragon Race has always taken their own kin as partners to prevent their bloodline from spreading to outsiders. Every powerful race has this kind of rule.
"If you’re going to give up this chance simply because you’re worried about that, then just pretend I never said anything."
Ye Tianling looked down at Long Tianyu, cradled in his arms in a princess carry. Her eyes were vacant, her breathing faint. For a moment, he was completely at a loss.
’Then... how do I get the true Yin Yang Harmony Method? And once I have it, what are the chances it will actually help Tianyu recover?’
Ye Tianling immediately asked.
Long Tianyu was indeed exquisitely beautiful and lovely.
She was like a peerless Goddess, inspiring an overwhelming desire to protect and cherish her.
If that hadn’t been the case, Ye Tianling wouldn’t have asked her to be his partner the first time they met.
But after learning she was his sister, Ye Tianling had never entertained a single improper thought about her.
And now, under these circumstances, he was even more unwilling to make the slightest improper move.
Especially since Long Tianyu was sacrificing her life to protect him, Ye Tianling felt that even having such a thought was a desecration of her.
"There’s an 80% chance of healing her and restoring her to her original state. If she recovers, there’s then a 60% chance she can break the Nine Forbidden Shackles and become a Goddess. As for the Yin Yang Harmony Method, you can obtain it by going to the Yin Yang Sword Sect. As long as you become a Core True Disciple, you can receive the complete ’Yin Yang Harmony’ Sword Dao inheritance."
After a moment of silence, Little Dragon Girl gave her answer.
’That’s too low. Only an 80% chance of recovery means there’s still a full 20% chance of failure. What’s the second method?’
Ye Tianling’s expression flickered as he immediately asked.
"An 80% chance is already very high. Moreover, this method is completely risk-free and has great benefits for you as well. Didn’t you want to give her the inheritance? After you perform Yin Yang Harmony and her constitution and bloodline are assimilated by yours, you can begin to transfer some of the inheritance to her.
"With repeated Yin Yang Harmony, you can eventually transfer the entire inheritance to her."
Little Dragon Girl urged.
Ye Tianling refused.
He held Long Tianyu and walked away, replying to Little Dragon Girl in his mind, ’I won’t bet on a 20% chance of failure. I certainly won’t gamble with Tianyu’s life and innocence! If it were my own life on the line, I’d take it even if the chance was one in ten thousand.
’Tell me the second method.’
