Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 157: Fighting the Blood Killing Saintess
"Die!"
Ye Tianling’s eyes were cold and merciless. In that instant, the Dragon Blood in the Ninth Layer region transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and was fully activated.
Ye Tianling channeled the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique, unleashing the killing intent of the Nine Swords of Dugu as he charged directly at Xia Xinyan.
"VMMM—"
Xia Xinyan formed a Sealing Technique with both hands, manifesting a blood-red defensive ripple that pulsed outward to collide with Ye Tianling’s attack.
She slapped her hand forward. The ripple was like a terrifying black hole, directly devouring Ye Tianling’s strike before moving to swallow him as well.
The moment she attacked, her incredibly powerful Battle Power was immediately on full display.
Ye Tianling was slightly shaken. The Ice Spirit Armor on his body instantly manifested a cyan halo, forming a Guardian Power around him.
At the same time, after his attack was annihilated, Ye Tianling activated the Returning Butterfly Cocoon Technique. His figure transformed, emanating the endless aura of a Blood Cocoon, allowing her attack to eat away at his Attack and Kill Power.
"CHHSS—"
Under the effect of the Returning Butterfly Cocoon Technique, Xia Xinyan’s terrifying devouring ripple spread out, shattered, and passed by on either side of Ye Tianling’s body.
After the attack passed, a huge storm manifested.
Within the Energy storm, Ye Tianling’s black hair was a mess. Cyan and blood-red light flickered around his body, making him look like an unparalleled War God who had descended upon the mortal world.
"You have some skill. No wonder you could kill Ye Qingfeng and Guan Cangyun."
Xia Xinyan’s pretty face grew solemn, and a look of profound shock filled her eyes.
She was an expert at the Sword Void First Transformation with a Battle Power that was Breaking Five, yet in a direct clash, she had only managed to fight Ye Tianling to a draw!
What did this mean?
If one were to calculate his Battle Power, just how terrifying would Ye Tianling’s be?
Although the Spiritual Armor on his body was a major factor, the implications were still horrifying.
It wasn’t reaching the Nine Forbidden that was difficult in this world, but breaking through a Great Realm!
’Is this enemy before me really only worth a single Enlightenment Branch?’
Xia Xinyan found her mind wandering. It wasn’t intentional, but the scene had been too shocking, too mentally impactful.
At that moment, Ye Tianling’s eyes were like lightning. Locking onto Xia Xinyan, he began to truly unleash his own Battle Power.
"Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!"
After Xia Xinyan once again unleashed a destructive ripple attack, he used the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique, combined it with the power of his Innate True Essence, and unleashed his most powerful Great Shift of Heaven and Earth technique.
"VMMM—"
As the technique circulated, he combined it with his Spiritual Artifact’s Defense Power to stabilize the force of her attack. Simultaneously, using his Emperor’s Qi Sword Body, he channeled the Extreme Cold Mysterious Sword and thrust out with his own blade.
"BOOM!"
This strike was world-shaking.
It was originally Xia Xinyan’s attack, which had been completely transformed and locked onto by his Spiritual Longsword, absorbed, and then redirected back at her.
Empowered by the Spiritual Longsword’s Battle Power, the redirected strike was naturally even stronger than Xia Xinyan’s original attack.
With that one sword strike, Ye Tianling could even sense that his comprehension of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth had deepened, stepping into a level of ’Dao’.
Before, his Martial Arts were merely Martial Arts Techniques.
But now, their very nature had begun to change.
The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth seemed to be blessed by the Dao Sound and Dao Marks of cosmic change, as if it contained the will of Heaven and Earth itself—capable of suppressing all directions, sweeping across antiquity, shattering the heavens, and extinguishing the universe for all eternity.
This attack even surpassed Ye Tianling’s own expectations, as if in that one instant, it had unleashed both eternity and Silent Extinction.
"VMMMM—"
Within the strike, as if in Harmonization with the Dao, an intangible aura of Daoist Chanting faintly manifested between Heaven and Earth. It seemed to trigger a resonance from the endless void, creating a profoundly mysterious atmosphere.
"CHHSS—"
Facing this strike, Xia Xinyan’s expression became even more solemn. All distracting thoughts in her mind vanished completely.
In her eyes, Ye Tianling was no longer a weakling at the Sword Soul Third Heaven, but a true ’Saint Child’-level genius opponent, just like her—an unparalleled expert of the same Realm.
"DOOM—"
Xia Xinyan formed another Sealing Technique. Her figure moved like lightning, darting through the air.
Her entire Essence, Qi, and Spirit merged into one, creating an extremely terrifying state. After the blood-red light around her transformed into a Dragon Soul, she struck out with one hand, unleashing a ripple like a black hole.
The ripple converged, forming a Longsword nearly thirty meters in length.
The Longsword, brimming with a terrifying, black hole-like aura, slashed toward the killing strike Ye Tianling had unleashed.
"BOOM—"
The massive collision gave rise to a storm of Energy.
Heaven and Earth trembled. The entire canyon area shattered, the ground quaked, and the storm howled.
That ripple.
That black hole sword.
Both collapsed almost simultaneously. Destructive Energy ravaged the area as sand and stones flew through the air between Heaven and Earth.
Ye Tianling stood within the storm, protected by the cyan halo of his Spiritual Armor, which kept him untouched by the dust and debris.
His Spiritual aura was like jade. His Battle Armor unleashed its Guardian Power to the absolute limit, becoming transparent.
His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, dancing wildly. His skin was so crystalline it seemed to glitter with Dao Marks and Flowing Light.
"Again!"
Ye Tianling shouted coldly, deploying the Innate Technique and the North Nether Divine Skill to deal with Xia Xinyan’s attacks.
He used the North Nether Divine Skill to transform his power, with the Innate Technique as his foundation. Combining them with the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique, he unleashed the Sword Dao Killing Intent of the Nine Swords of Dugu.
This strike also contained world-shaking Battle Power.
Whether it was the explosive power of his physical body, his Dragon Soul and Dragon Blood, or the slaughtering power of his Emperor’s Qi Sword Body’s control over the Sword Dao, all were astoundingly powerful.
Xia Xinyan remained calm and composed. A flash of light from her Blood Sword shot out, transforming into a destructive killing strike.
"PFFT—"
Ye Tianling’s Absolute Kill strike was directly extinguished by the bloody light, shattering completely.
The black ripple appeared again, manifesting a devouring rift. The aftershocks of Force Qi from Ye Tianling’s attack were completely swallowed by the rift, and a sudden silence fell.
Ye Tianling was startled, his heart turning cold. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
’I was able to fight her before, but now that I’ve switched to the North Nether Divine Skill, I can’t absorb any of her Battle Power? Instead, I’m being immediately suppressed?’
Ye Tianling’s mood grew heavy. ’This is a life-or-death enemy. If I don’t use the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword as my trump card, the outcome will be hard to predict!’
’But the possibility of my defeat is extremely high!’
"Blood Killing Dragon Soul, Creation of All Life!"
Xia Xinyan’s face was indifferent. With a clear cry, she unleashed a killing intent of ancient creation.
"BOOM—"
A Blood-Colored Dragon Soul manifested. The ancient, blood-colored behemoth revealed unparalleled Sword Spirit Power. This Blood-Colored Dragon Spirit Sword Spirit charged brutally toward Ye Tianling with overwhelming force.
This was a Sword Spirit killing intent. Xia Xinyan was no longer relying on Battle Power, but on the advantage of her higher Realm to crush him.
However, Ye Tianling was completely unafraid.
"Samadhi True Fire Celestial Dragon Sword Soul!"
Ye Tianling also manifested his Sword Soul. Although his Sword Soul, burning with Samadhi True Fire, had not yet transformed into a Sword Spirit, this kind of Ancient Dragon Soul was by no means an easy opponent.
