Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 178: Smashing Ye Cangqian

HUMMM—

Before the sword strike was even unleashed, it erupted with a heaven-shattering divine might. It was as if it was empowered by the boundless aura of a Samadhi True Fire Celestial Tribulation—terrifying beyond measure, its killing intent utterly berserk!

At this moment, Duan Qianji was busy reinforcing the sealing Forbidden Array and was not paying constant attention to the situation here.

And Ye Tianling seized this brief opportunity to launch a fatal blow against Ye Cangqian.

Thirty percent of his battle power?

No, he had only been using ten percent of his battle power before!

Compared to Xia Xinyan, what was Ye Cangqian? The gap between them was as wide as the heavens.

Ye Tianling could fight Xia Xinyan to a frenzied standstill. What did Ye Cangqian amount to?

The only reason he hadn’t killed Ye Cangqian instantly was because he was waiting for this very opportunity.

"A member of the Dragon Race has arrived. Their aura is very similar to Long Tianyu’s."

Little Dragon Girl’s voice echoed in Ye Tianling’s mind.

Ye Tianling finally felt a great sense of relief.

With his worries gone, he completely unleashed his Dragon Soul Aura, including the full power of his peerless Sword Spirit, the Samadhi True Fire Celestial Dragon Sword Soul.

His battle power instantly surged to one hundred and twenty percent!

"Die!"

The sword finally struck.

HUMMM—

Like a stream of light tearing through heaven and earth, the strike shot forth. At that moment, Duan Qianji suddenly stopped what he was doing, his gaze locking tightly onto Ye Tianling.

Duan Qianji’s reaction was incredibly fast.

But he still didn’t make a move.

Ye Tianling’s heart went cold, but he didn’t hesitate for a second, pushing the sword strike to its absolute limit.

PFFT—

The sword struck.

Heaven and earth seemed to fall into a sudden, silent extinction.

It was a ray of deathly slaughter.

That deathly ray of slaughter seemed to pierce through heaven and earth.

Beneath that sword strike, a Dragon Soul roared. A blood-red, five-clawed Divine Dragon’s soul manifested, wreathed in Samadhi True Fire and raging flames, and crashed into Ye Cangqian’s Fiery Sun Sword Spirit.

PUFF—

The destruction was absolute and instantaneous!

Ye Cangqian’s body shuddered. The powerful sword he had reformed in his hand, the strong Defensive Battle Armor he wore, and even two protective Prohibition Talismans were all shattered by the berserk power.

Ye Cangqian remained standing, but his body was breaking apart, covered in gaping wounds.

Ye Tianling’s sword had pierced straight through his chest.

The destructive power had blasted through nearly all his meridians, pulverized his flesh, and shattered his bones.

SPLAT—

As his body came apart, a massive amount of blood gushed out like a spring.

However, after forming pillars of bloody light in the void, the gushing blood suddenly froze in place.

An ancient and desolate aura, vast and boundless, locked onto these pillars of blood.

Ye Tianling’s heart went cold as an indescribable sense of mortal danger washed over him.

He almost instinctively executed the Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique, instantly twisting his body aside.

WHOOSH—

A bloody light abruptly shot through the void, piercing through the spot where Ye Tianling had just been. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Meanwhile, the horrifically battered Ye Cangqian, who had been on the verge of exploding, was now surrounded by the scattered pillars of blood. The blood that had flowed out of him was now gradually flowing back.

At the same time, the blood and flesh squirmed, flying back to converge upon his body.

He stood his ground, his eyes dead and vacant, utterly devoid of spirit.

But deep within those vacant pupils flickered a horrific aura of tyranny, ferocity, evil, and bloodlust.

"Ye Tianling, thank you so much for shattering my ancient heritage. You have allowed it to achieve a complete Nirvana, to be reborn from destruction, and to fully fuse with my Fiery Sun Sword Body. Now, with my Fiery Sun Bloodline and Ancient Bloodline merged, my realm is on the verge of stepping into the Void Realm! As a token of my gratitude, I will beat you to a pulp, kill you, and refine your bloodline into my own Essence, Qi, and Soul! This will prove the peerless and invincible mastery of my Sword Void Realm!"

Ye Cangqian said coolly.

As he spoke, streams of Blood Qi spewed forth with his words, manifesting an extremely terrifying aura of Dao rhythm.

His voice was filled with a Dao Sound, a bloody, slaughterous chant that was utterly horrifying.

"Excellent. You’ve finally transformed through the crucible of life and death, breaking the shackles of the Void Realm. Your battle power can now break six and approach seven—kill him. No one can interfere with you now."

Duan Qianji commented with immense satisfaction.

Ye Cangqian stared at Ye Tianling, his eyes flashing with a cold, bloody light. With his hair disheveled, he looked like a monster cloaked in a crimson glow.

’Tsk, tsk. As expected of someone with the Qi Fortune of a Saint Son. But in the face of absolute power, it’s all useless!’

Ye Tianling sensed a disturbance. In the void, a shadowy figure seemed to be standing quietly, watching everything unfold.

The member of the Dragon Race had arrived, but they were just watching quietly, their aura retracted and their figure concealed. Not even Duan Qianji had discovered them.

’Damn it, get over here and help!’

Ye Tianling cursed inwardly.

He was rather speechless, really wanting to curse out that ’Dragon Race’ member.

’You don’t believe I’m from the Dragon Race?’

Ye Tianling was extremely wary of Duan Qianji, but he wasn’t particularly concerned about Ye Cangqian—not even after his sudden fortuitous encounter.

’Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique!’

Using the Little Faceless Technique to simulate the transformation of a Dragon Soul, Ye Tianling directly activated his Samadhi True Fire Celestial Dragon Sword Soul, mimicking Long Tianyu’s ultimate Dragon Soul technique.

The moment this technique appeared, Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent clearly sensed the observing Dragon Race figure tremble violently.

’I’ve even managed to simulate this technique. Are you really going to watch me die? I’m part of the Dragon Race too, you know!’

Ye Tianling grumbled internally. As he displayed this ability, both Duan Qianji and Ye Cangqian were utterly horrified.

They both trembled, as if they had just witnessed the most unbelievable thing imaginable.

"The Dragon Race!"

"Royal Dragon Blood!"

"He’s actually from the Dragon Race! Damn it!"

As shock and anger washed over Ye Cangqian, the flames of jealousy in his eyes seemed ready to ignite.

"Kill him! Quickly, kill him!"

Duan Qianji wanted to act instantly but restrained himself, leaving the opportunity to Ye Cangqian.

However, his expression was now exceptionally grim.

Deep within his pupils, alongside wariness and shocked suspicion, an extreme ’greed’ now gleamed.

"Master, rest assured, he won’t escape!"

Ye Cangqian was wreathed in a bloody light, his Blood Qi erupting as if he were bathing in Divine Blood. His black hair was now stained crimson.

With his blood-red hair flying, a terrifying ancient aura gathered into an ultimate killing power. He converged the supreme Power of Slaughter with his Fiery Sun and formed a Slaughter Sword Spirit, viciously striking toward Ye Tianling.

Ye Tianling didn’t activate the Power of Defense from his Ice Spirit Armor. Instead, he switched to the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword. At the same instant Ye Cangqian closed in, he abandoned all defense, pouring his entire strength into his attack.

Ye Cangqian’s Sword Spirit stabbed viciously at Ye Tianling’s chest. At the same time, Ye Tianling’s Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, empowered by the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao and burning his Dragon Blood, combined his boundless battle power to unleash an even more ferocious strike.

Burning his Dragon Blood was equivalent to Essence Blood Burning. Against Ye Cangqian, Ye Tianling clearly no longer needed to hold back in case of Duan Qianji, and thus he unleashed his strongest battle power.

A savage grin appeared on Ye Cangqian’s face, but it froze in the next instant. When his powerful sword strike landed on Ye Tianling, it failed to penetrate even half a centimeter before stopping dead.

The Battle Armor on Ye Tianling had no Defense Power; it seemed to be the most ordinary armor.

However, the defense of his physical body truly manifested the formidable, domineering foundation of the peerless Sword Venerate Dominating Body.

CLANG CLANG CLANG—

The powerful force behind the strike only managed to produce a shower of sparks. The penetration depth of less than half a centimeter wasn’t even enough to make Ye Tianling’s body bleed!

But at this moment, Ye Tianling’s sword viciously pierced the center of Ye Cangqian’s brow.

As the sword pierced through, Ye Tianling executed the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique, attempting to devour Ye Cangqian alive. He even wanted to activate the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword’s Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao, to devour Ye Cangqian as a Blood Sacrifice and use that power to assassinate Duan Qianji.

But just as the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword was about to begin devouring him, the aura of a desolate Fierce Beast, long dormant within Ye Cangqian’s bloodline, suddenly went berserk.

That desolate Fierce Beast let out a frenzied roar.
