Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 94: You’re Such a Beast

After activating his Dragon Race constitution and bloodline, the resulting "Conquest Ability" was utterly ferocious and terrifying.

Even Ye Tianling himself was taken aback.

For this reason, Ye Tianling had intentionally left a small opening for Ouyang Ruoxue to escape.

Of course, if Ouyang Ruoxue had insisted on trying to kill him, he wouldn’t have minded continuing their intense battle for a few more days.

But Ouyang Ruoxue fled, so Ye Tianling let the matter rest.

Ye Tianling let out a long breath. With a flicker of his body, he activated both the Returning Butterfly Cocoon Technique and the Turtle Breath Technique. In that same instant, his aura changed completely as he transformed into a handsome, cold, and arrogant-looking young man.

He also changed his Battle Armor, donning an Earth Tier Upper Grade Battle Armor from Guan Cangyun’s Qiankun Ring.

The Battle Armor transformed into a set of black robes.

With an Ice Profound Iron Heavy Sword from Ye Qingfeng’s Qiankun Ring slung across his back, Ye Tianling assumed his new identity and immediately departed.

Ye Tianling’s current appearance was that of Dugu Qiubai. He also planned to adopt a new name, ’Dugu Tian,’ and venture into the Fierce Beast Mountain Range. His goal was to cultivate the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt to the Great Success Realm and complete their final integration with his Sword Venerate Dominating Body.

Currently, because his Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt had already reached the peak of the Sixth Layer, combined with the ten-day process of Yin Yang Harmony and the boon of absorbing fifty percent of Ouyang Ruoxue’s talent, he had naturally broken through to the Sword Heart Realm.

Not only that, but after achieving Sword Heart Clarity, comprehending the mysterious depths of the Sword Dao God, and sensing the inherited knowledge from the Fifth and Sixth Layers of the Dragon Blood Treasure Tower Celestial Ladder, Ye Tianling had also activated his Dragon Soul Sword Spirit.

His current realm was now the First Heaven of Sword Spirit.

And his Battle Power was naturally comparable to the Sword Soul First Heaven Realm.

Though he had yet to test it, his Soul was now strong enough to completely withstand a Sword Soul Attack.

With such Battle Power, the gap between him and Ye Cangqian was no longer so vast.

Furthermore, because his Dragon Soul Sword Spirit had condensed ahead of schedule and was being nurtured in the Dragon Soul Celestial Ladder region deep between his brows, Ye Tianling could clearly sense just how powerful his Sword Soul had become.

As long as his Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt reached the Great Success Realm and fused with his Sword Venerate Dominating Body, the moment he stepped into the Sword Soul Realm, Ye Cangqian would become nothing more than an ant for him to crush!

Ye Tianling was filled with anticipation for all of this.

...

「Outside the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, in a hidden cave.」

"WHIMPER—"

Ouyang Ruoxue began to cry in sorrow.

Gradually, the sound of her crying grew louder and louder.

But after a moment, a strange yearning began to fill her mind, making her feel utterly humiliated and ashamed.

She wanted to obliterate those memories, but Ye Tianling’s cold yet handsome face stubbornly appeared in her mind’s eye.

"AHHH—"

Ouyang Ruoxue roared and viciously tore at her own long hair. She tried to force herself to calm down, but it was impossible.

The Energy throughout Ouyang Ruoxue’s body turned violent and chaotic. An indescribable sensation welled up inside her, one she was completely unable to control.

’I’m poisoned... This is the Dragon Race’s ’Yin Yang Harmony’ poison... He must be a member of the Dragon Race...’

Ouyang Ruoxue murmured as her trembling hand reached toward her own body, but she forced it back with sheer willpower.

Then, she retrieved two Ice Soul Profound Pills from her Qiankun Ring and, after a moment’s hesitation, swallowed them both.

A terrifying Ice Power instantly spread through her body, as if trying to turn her into a block of ice.

But she fought hard to control it and began her Cultivation.

The transformation of her Lion Sword Spirit’s realm progressed with exceptional smoothness. Streams of Supreme Yang Power constantly reforged her talent. Even as she cultivated, she could still feel traces of that same Supreme Yang Power flowing within her body.

Suppressing her fury, she vainly attempted to expel the Supreme Yang Power from her body, but to no avail.

Gradually, this energy seeped completely into her Lion Sword Spirit, integrating with the deeper inherited knowledge of the Returning Butterfly Cocoon Secret Technique.

At that moment, Ouyang Ruoxue became deeply immersed in this inherited knowledge, gradually losing herself within it.

"HUMMM—"

「Three days later.」

Ouyang Ruoxue’s aura transformed. Her talent had increased by at least tenfold. Due to this transformation, she had also refined most of the energy from the Life and Death Talismans she was afflicted with.

Her senses had also become extremely sharp, and she had even gained a sliver of ’Soul Talent’.

This sliver of talent wasn’t very useful, but it did allow her to sense the energy of the Life and Death Talismans within her body, enabling her to capture, refine, and eliminate it.

In this way, it took another full three days for Ouyang Ruoxue to purge the power of the ’Life and Death Talismans’ and completely recover from her injuries.

Her Cultivation at the Sword Spirit First Heaven had already reached the Perfection Level, and she was on the verge of breaking through to the Sword Spirit Second Heaven Realm.

This rate of progress had clearly left Yun Zhiruo and Ye Cangqian in the dust.

Yet, Ouyang Ruoxue couldn’t bring herself to be happy.

Being violated and losing half of her talent, only for her remaining talent to increase nearly tenfold—this should have been a good thing.

But to Ouyang Ruoxue, her talent and abilities were now mixed with Ye Tianling’s, meaning she was no longer ’pure’.

The stronger she became, the more powerful her Heart Demon would grow, and the deeper her obsession would take root.

"Kill!"

Ouyang Ruoxue stood up, an incredibly cold killing intent glinting in her eyes.

This time, she no longer felt that she was helpless against Ye Tianling.

’He’s here in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range to hunt Fierce Beasts, so he has to be somewhere in this region... I have a sliver of Soul Talent. It isn’t much, but if he appears, my Sensing should be able to pick him up...’

Ouyang Ruoxue pondered this, then stood up and activated her full Battle Power, making no attempt to conceal her Cultivation level.

She changed into a powerful suit of Earth Tier Top Grade Armor, which took the form of a light purple gauze skirt.

At the same time, she drew her treasured Earth Tier Top Grade treasure sword, the ’Cyan Moon Sword’.

When it came to dealing with Ye Tianling—she no longer underestimated him in the slightest.

The man could create his own Cultivation Techniques, and his Talent was terrifyingly high.

His bloodline Ability, moreover, was simply heaven-defying!

For a person like that, even with his Soul having been shattered twice, condensing a Sword Soul was surely just a matter of time!

Everyone had been completely wrong about him!

In her heart, Ouyang Ruoxue now saw Ye Tianling as the most monstrous genius there was—bar none!

...

"Achoo—"

Ye Tianling sneezed, his expression a little strange.

’Six days, and that dame still hasn’t come looking for me. If she did, I could catch her for another ’fight’... With her ability and transformed talent, she should be able to refine the Life and Death Talismans, right? I actually already removed a good number of them for her. Sigh, it’s only been a few days, and I’m already starting to miss it... the feeling of Yin Yang Harmony.’

Ye Tianling muttered to himself, then with a single stroke of his sword, slew a beautiful and adorable Demon Fox Beast.

As he watched the female Demon Fox Beast fall, its ’beautiful scenery’ exposed, Ye Tianling felt a faint stir of excitement.

Ye Tianling was utterly speechless. He slapped himself on the forehead, unsure whether to laugh or cry. ’Dragon Blood, oh Dragon Blood, have you lost your mind? Getting worked up over a beast? You’re nothing but an animal!’

As Ye Tianling cursed inwardly, the spot between his eyebrows suddenly throbbed a few times, and what sounded like an ancient dragon’s roar echoed from within.

It was a sound of discontent.

The voice seemed to say, ’You’re the one who’s worse than an animal, you sick pervert. How dare you blame me for it?’

’Holy shit, it really has a will? Then hurry up and help me condense the Supreme Dragon Spirit Sword Spirit! I need to one-shot Ye Cangqian!’

Ye Tianling shot the thought right back.

But his thought was met with silence, like a stone sinking into the ocean.

Ye Tianling found that his connection to the Dragon Soul Treasure Tower Celestial Ladder between his brows had even grown a little fainter.

’Damn you... you win this round!’

Ye Tianling rolled his eyes.
