Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 92: Seizing a Talent?

"You were so eager for me to die before. To repay you for that vicious killing intent, I’ll let you ’die’ as well!"

Ye Tianling’s tone was cold and detached.

After a few moments of breathing, the potent medicinal energy from the three Elixirs flooded the space between his brows, sending tremors through the Seventh Layer’s Dragon Blood Region. However, he still couldn’t connect with the dormant Dragon Blood.

Meanwhile, his physical body and True Essence grew even stronger.

So powerful, in fact, that he felt he was about to explode.

Ouyang Ruoxue simply watched him with a cold gaze, the mocking look on her face unwavering. "That’s a Bloodline Frenzy Pill, a Celestial Tier Lower Grade Elixir," she said. "Even a Cultivator in the Sword Spirit Realm would be driven into a frenzy by it. Go on, enjoy the sensation of your body exploding!"

Uncaring, Ye Tianling reached his sinister hand toward Ouyang Ruoxue.

Instantly, Ouyang Ruoxue’s eyes turned bloodshot.

Her power was sealed once more, and this time she couldn’t even twitch a muscle. All she could do was burn with fury and weep tears of humiliation.

Ye Tianling retracted his hand and began his Cultivation of the Innate Technique. His True Essence gradually transformed into a mist.

Under the extreme, violent pressure, this Energy underwent a further transformation, evolving from True Essence into Innate True Qi.

Innate True Qi was similar to Spiritual Qi, like the Spiritual Qi of the Sword Spirit Realm.

But their fundamental nature was slightly different.

To Ouyang Ruoxue, this Innate True Qi was Origin Energy—the purest form of Energy in Heaven and Earth.

She never imagined that this kind of Origin Energy would emanate from above Ye Tianling’s head!

Moreover, this energy actually formed a Phenomenon!

Three beautiful flowers materialized, forming a triangle as they converged above Ye Tianling’s head.

Gradually, the frenzied medicinal power was neutralized.

Thanks to the three potent pills, Ye Tianling’s Cultivation of the Innate Technique reached completion, allowing him to step into the Innate Realm of the Martial Artist Level.

In this World, with its abundant Spiritual Qi and different laws, the power of the Innate Realm was far beyond what one could imagine.

Ye Tianling was even confident that his physical body could now withstand an attack from someone in the Sword Soul Realm.

Having completed this transformation, Ye Tianling did not assault Ouyang Ruoxue. Instead, he left her there while he once again circulated the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt Cultivation Techniques to begin refining his physical body.

This process continued for nearly a thousand breaths, and Ye Tianling finally cultivated both the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt to the Fifth Layer.

He was still some distance from the Seventh Layer of Perfection, but after reaching the Fifth Layer, his physical body was already exceptionally strong.

Combined with his peerlessly powerful Sword Venerate Dominating Body physique, he believed his Defense Power now surpassed that of an Earth Tier Middle Grade Defensive Battle Armor.

Now, even if he stood still and let a Cultivator at the Sword Spirit Realm attack him, they wouldn’t be able to break through his defenses!

Furthermore, because of the combination of Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt, Ye Tianling had no weak spot.

After finishing his Cultivation, Ye Tianling finally let out a turbid breath, feeling much more at ease.

Although he still hadn’t connected with the Dragon Blood and couldn’t circulate the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique, Ye Tianling now possessed the true strength to protect himself.

Ye Tianling reset the Chaotic Stone Array and the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation, and only then did he stare at Ouyang Ruoxue with a cold gaze.

Ouyang Ruoxue looked profoundly uneasy.

Ye Tianling set up the Projection Stones again and said no more.

Once he finished, Ye Tianling’s expression grew even more ruthless.

A deep look of fear appeared in Ouyang Ruoxue’s eyes.

"Ye Tianling, I beg you, let me go... I-I’m willing to submit, to truly be your Maid. I was wrong. I’ll never try to frame you again. I’m willing to swear on my life and on the honor of our Celestial Profound Sword Sect."

Ouyang Ruoxue was finally afraid.

Although she knew this moment would eventually come, she had been clinging to a sliver of hope, secretly trying various methods to break the Imprisonment that had been placed on her.

’At the same time,’ she thought, ’the moment I break free, I must kill Ye Tianling on the spot and eliminate this threat for good.’

Unfortunately... she couldn’t use any of her trump cards.

Ye Tianling said, "I’m not interested in you becoming my Maid. Right now, I just want to have a ’battle’ with you, just as I promised. I’ll let you have a good taste of ’death’ too."

As he spoke, Ye Tianling walked toward Ouyang Ruoxue step by step...

Ouyang Ruoxue screamed, struggling...

...

It was a very fierce battle.

And it lasted a very long time.

「Three days later.」

Ye Tianling retrieved the numerous Projection Stones. Ouyang Ruoxue, meanwhile, had completely lost all her strength.

Even with the gift of Ye Tianling’s Supreme Yang Energy, which had restored some of her ability, she still had no strength to struggle.

Her body was weak and powerless, yet she felt lost in the experience.

She had indeed ’died’ many times.

She had even let out deeply humiliating sounds.

This made her loathe her own debasement, and at the same time, her heart turned to ash.

The Sword Spirit Realm she had always dreamed of... her Lion Sword Spirit seemed to have evolved further, transforming her lion bloodline, making it nobler and more powerful!

She had stepped into the Sword Spirit Realm.

The Imprisonment placed on her had loosened for a full three minutes, but she did not take revenge.

When the transformation was complete and the Imprisonment formed again, she couldn’t be bothered to act.

’Is my heart dead as ashes?’

’Despair?’

’Shattered dreams?’

Ouyang Ruoxue didn’t know.

It seemed she no longer had anything worth caring about.

...

Ye Tianling’s experience was different from Ouyang Ruoxue’s.

After the ’conquest,’ Ye Tianling felt a sense of pleasure in both body and mind as an unimaginable transformation took place within him.

This transformation allowed him to easily activate his Dragon Blood, opening a connection to the Dragon Blood in the Seventh Layer of the Dragon Soul Treasure Tower Celestial Ladder.

A sliver of Dragon Blood from the Fifth Layer and Sixth Layer finally gathered, enabling him to circulate the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique.

The circulation of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique revived Ye Tianling’s Dragon Blood, forming a perfect cycle.

Ye Tianling’s Sword Heart Realm became even clearer and more translucent, purer than ever before.

He even had a mysterious feeling—not only had he achieved Sword Heart Clarity, but he felt he could also reach Divinity in the Sword Dao.

With his Innate True Qi, the Power of his Sword Heart, and the foundation from the Fifth Layer of Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt, twenty percent of Ye Tianling’s Sword Soul could finally merge into his physical body, achieving a perfect union.

And that wasn’t all this transformation entailed.

Ye Tianling discovered that he had somehow naturally comprehended about fifty percent of the Returning Butterfly Cocoon Technique—a Secret Technique of immortality that could lead to Nirvana!

This was clearly a Talent he had seized from Ouyang Ruoxue.

But Ye Tianling couldn’t understand why he had gained this Talent.

’I took Ouyang Ruoxue’s innocence, and she can still grant me half of her Talent? Do I have some kind of innate Yin Yang Harmony Talent?’

Though puzzled, Ye Tianling used his Soul Talent to carefully sense Ouyang Ruoxue’s condition. He discovered that her Realm had advanced—she had already stepped into the Sword Spirit First Heaven Realm. Not only was her Talent unharmed, but it had actually improved by more than threefold!

And the credit for this was, of course, related to his ’Supreme Yang Power.’

Ye Tianling walked over and extended his sinister hand once again.

Ouyang Ruoxue, however, didn’t move at all, completely unresponsive.

Her eyes were exceptionally dim, hollow and devoid of spirit.
