Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 159: Xia Xinyan’s Shock
Suddenly, Xia Xinyan let out a long cry. The qi and blood in her body surged outward, manifesting a terrifying Daoist rhythm as she descended upon the world like an Unparalleled Fairy.
Her black hair whipped about as her body was engulfed in an immense, bloody light.
A flash of her sword light enveloped the energy within a nearly ten-thousand-meter radius of the Void. It then exploded outward before instantly contracting, gathering everything into a meter-long, ferocious sword of slaughter that suddenly lunged at Ye Tianling.
The power of the strike seemed capable of twisting the Void and collapsing a portion of Heaven and Earth.
It was a world-shocking power, possessing the might of an Absolute Kill.
Her Blood Killing Dragon Spirit Sword Spirit converged and completely merged with her.
The black light was like blood, and a sanguine radiance shot toward the heavens.
Heaven and Earth became a desolate and violent expanse. Force Qi spilled everywhere as killing intent erupted.
Ye Tianling used the world-shocking Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to derive the supreme Hidden Dragon and Dragon Slaying Swordsmanship, pushing his own Battle Power to its absolute limit.
The limits of his Realm seemed to have been completely unlocked. In a direct confrontation with Xia Xinyan, Ye Tianling was surprisingly her equal.
Xia Xinyan’s Absolute Kill was blocked by Ye Tianling’s powerful Hidden Dragon Swordsmanship and was even slightly suppressed by his frenzied Battle Power.
Golden light flared toward the sky as Ye Tianling fully unleashed the power of the Spiritual Artifact Extreme Cold Mysterious Sword in his hand.
An innate compatibility seemed to form between his Emperor’s Qi Sword Body and the Spiritual Artifact. Ye Tianling felt as if everything between Heaven and Earth was within his Control.
It was as if all his senses had been opened. His Sixth Sense was incredibly sharp, and he was using his Soul Talent in battle for the very first time.
His Soul Talent spread out, blanketing the area. As a result, every one of Xia Xinyan’s strikes fell within Ye Tianling’s Sensing, as if calculated down to the smallest detail.
In terms of Realm, Ye Tianling’s was too low.
In terms of Battle Power, his wasn’t particularly high either.
Yet this huge disparity was completely negated by his Soul Talent, his powerful Spiritual Armor and Spiritual Longsword, and the control over swords granted by his Sword Venerate Dominating Body, resulting in a stalemate.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Xia Xinyan’s Absolute Kill strike evolved once more. She seized the power between Heaven and Earth, gathering it from tens of thousands of meters around her and channeling it into her Sword Dao.
Her sword was like blood, a Divine Soldier of slaughter. She attacked again, one slash after another.
With each slash, she added another ten percent to her attack. Her Attack Power was still increasing at a frantic pace.
Ye Tianling didn’t dare let his guard down for a moment. He used his Samadhi True Fire Aura to derive a deeper level of Swordsmanship from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, gathered his Dragon Blood Power, and unleashed a strike imbued with his Celestial Dragon Sword Soul.
That strike contained a solitary and desolate Sword Intent, as well as a Sword Intent of Silent Extinction.
Although it couldn’t compare to the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao, it already possessed a trace of a similar Daoist rhythm.
PFFT—
His sword struck Xia Xinyan’s head-on.
The Void seemed to tear as Force Qi shot across the sky. With a single slash, Ye Tianling shattered her attack.
A look of horror, of utter shock, appeared in Xia Xinyan’s beautiful eyes.
Her pupils contracted, her eyes locking onto Ye Tianling as bright red blood began to trickle from the corner of her mouth.
She had lost count of how many times she had coughed up blood, but this was clearly the most severe injury yet.
"Ancient Killing Soul!"
Xia Xinyan cried out again. Her Attack Power surged like the Ninth Layer Overlapping Waves, stacking layer upon layer as she slashed out in the span of a ten-thousandth of a breath.
It was a terrifying attack. Her Attack Power instantly increased by more than tenfold, becoming seemingly invincible.
"Samadhi True Fire Celestial Dragon Sword Soul!"
Ye Tianling released his Sword Soul once more. The Dragon Soul derived from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms formed a most profound combination with his own Ancient Dragon Soul.
All of Ye Tianling’s Battle Power seemed to fuse together completely.
His Soul Talent operated at its peak, and the Dragon Blood within his body began to boil.
His body temperature rose to an extreme degree, and above his head, the Phenomenon of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Five Qi Chaoyuan manifested.
At that moment, even Abilities like his Innate True Essence were fully integrated, erupting forth along with his Dragon Soul.
CHH-CHH—
The sense of crisis in Ye Tianling’s heart flared. He met the attack with his supreme Soul Talent, his powerful Dragon Soul, his formidable Defensive Spiritual Artifact, and his Emperor’s Qi Sword Body—a physical form capable of withstanding the power of a Celestial Tribulation.
Ye Tianling’s sword clashed with Xia Xinyan’s.
His Samadhi True Fire Celestial Dragon Sword Soul clashed fiercely with her Blood Killing Dragon Spirit Sword Spirit.
The battle reached a fever pitch.
Ye Tianling roared as his Dragon Blood raged. The Innate True Essence inside him gathered the Samadhi True Fire Aura. All his Abilities reached their peak, even undergoing a supreme sublimation.
His mind and body became one. After being under the influence of his Soul Talent for so long, his sense of Control over Heaven and Earth grew even stronger.
His Sixth Sense seemed to embark on a brand-new transformation.
And after battling the Blood Killing Dragon Spirit Sword Spirit for so long, Ye Tianling’s own understanding of the Sword Spirit began to deepen.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Ye Tianling no longer retreated, only dodging the most fatal of attacks.
He met the other, less lethal attacks head-on in a frenzied clash.
Ye Tianling began to meet battle with battle, appearing overbearing and invincible.
In the midst of this frenzied battle, the defensive cyan light on Ye Tianling’s Spirit Armor finally shattered.
At that moment, one of Xia Xinyan’s slashes stabbed viciously into Ye Tianling’s shoulder.
A relieved smile finally appeared on her face. It seemed the battle was finally decided.
However, that slash finally revealed the true strength of Ye Tianling’s physical body.
Ye Tianling dropped his defenses. As Xia Xinyan’s sword stabbed toward his shoulder, he swapped his Spiritual Artifact Extreme Cold Mysterious Sword for the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword at point-blank range. Then, using the same technique one might use to chop a tree, he gathered his Dragon Blood, executed the Swordsmanship derived from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and viciously slashed at Xia Xinyan’s body.
PUFF—
Ye Tianling’s body trembled. Xia Xinyan’s sword pierced his shoulder, but it only penetrated less than three centimeters before his terrifying physical defenses stopped it cold.
However, the Power of Destruction contained within her sword erupted, surging deep into Ye Tianling’s body as if to completely annihilate him from the inside out!
PUFF—
At the same time, the defenses of Xia Xinyan’s blood-red robes were completely breached!
The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword was a Divine Artifact, its sharpness far beyond imagination.
Having swapped swords at the critical moment, Ye Tianling had slashed through her defenses with a single strike. With a vicious diagonal pull, he nearly severed her torso and one of her arms.
Blood sprayed out as Xia Xinyan’s figure shot backward. Her vicious attack failed to continue ravaging Ye Tianling’s body.
Likewise, Ye Tianling’s sword had failed to cut her in two.
The two instantly put nearly a thousand meters between them, standing in the Void. For the moment, the battle had come to a halt.
"Your physical body... It’s this tough?! My Spiritual Longsword, infused with my Breaking Five Battle Power and unleashing one hundred and twenty percent of its killing intent, couldn’t even break your physical defense! Are you the Sword Venerate Dominating Body?!"
Xia Xinyan’s voice trembled, her eyes filled with utter horror.
She had thought it was all over, but the outcome of the exchange shook her to her core. The shock was immense!
