Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Chapter 437: Forceful Suppression

Before this, Die Xin had never imagined she would need to flee for her life like this.

But now, she had no choice but to run. Having personally witnessed Bai Changxi’s instant, gruesome death—without him even having the chance to activate his series of terrifying trump cards—Die Xin was utterly shaken.

And when Li Rushan was instantly absorbed into the space between their opponent’s eyebrows by some bizarre technique, a chill ran down Die Xin’s spine. It was only then that she realized how wise Qianyue had been not to make a move.

But just as Die Xin thought she could escape, her opponent suddenly transformed a single ray of blood-red light into tens of millions of them!

Each ray of light was like a terrifying shackle, locking down her Soul Energy completely.

Then, just as quickly, all the rays of blood-red light converged.

"Run? You can split your soul into thousands, but I can use One Heart, Many Thoughts."

Ye Tianling snorted coldly. The Blood Moon Secret Realm between his eyebrows opened, instantly imprisoning her.

CHH-CHH—

As this power erupted once more, Ye Tianling felt his own frenzied soul gradually weaken.

The ’corner’ that had been activated in the space between his eyebrows also gradually fell silent.

But at every moment, Ye Tianling could hear waves of agonizing screams coming from the depths of that Blood Secret Realm.

’So it locked them up.’

Ye Tianling was lost in thought. After devouring a member of the Soul Race, his own soul had grown to a terrifying degree.

This growth had activated certain abilities of his Blood Secret Realm.

But after using them, that growth regressed.

’There’s a lot I need to study about this.’

Ye Tianling regained his composure and immediately used the art of the Nirvana Nine Transformations, instantly healing the wounds he had sustained.

In just three or four breaths’ time, Ye Tianling’s strength returned to its peak, and he had completely purged the violent, negative emotions from devouring Bai Changxi.

Ye Tianling went to where Bai Changxi had been. A silver-white long spear still remained, standing silently in the void.

Ye Tianling reached out to grab it, but the long spear struggled, unwilling to fall into his hands.

"You dare to resist?"

Ye Tianling snorted coldly as a jet of Samadhi True Fire ignited, instantly engulfing the long spear.

The long spear trembled violently, vibrating intensely in Ye Tianling’s grasp as if trying to break free.

"In that case, Celestial Evil Sword, devour it!"

Ye Tianling’s eyes turned exceptionally cold.

He had originally planned to keep this Soul Artifact, but since it remained loyal to its former master, he certainly wasn’t going to keep it.

Having received Ye Tianling’s consent, the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword immediately let out a clear, pleasant hum. A moment later, a blood-red light emanated from the sword’s body.

The Samadhi True Fire instantly grew more tyrannical and intense.

SIZZLE—

The long spear’s vibrations gradually subsided. Then, with a mournful cry, the silver-white long spear completely disintegrated.

Within it, a phantom totem resembling Bai Changxi’s soul was also completely annihilated at that moment.

Ye Tianling retracted the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword and turned his gaze toward Qianyue.

"Kunpeng Divine Son, I have no intention of competing for this Hellfire," Qianyue spoke up proactively.

Ye Tianling nodded. "I know what happened earlier."

Qianyue gave a slight nod. "May I see your weapon?"

Ye Tianling nodded and simply raised his hand. The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword flew over to her.

Qianyue gently raised her hand, and the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword hovered quietly above her palm.

"This must be a true divine object from the Venerable Era. With this sword, it would be better for you to usually hide its Divinity. The current era is simply too chaotic."

Qianyue took a deep look at the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, then with a gentle wave of her hand, sent it flying back to Ye Tianling.

"Let them try. A weapon like this can’t be taken just because someone wants to. Qianyue Fairy, the night is long. Why don’t we go gather some Hellfire together?" Ye Tianling invited.

This caused a strange look to appear in Qianyue’s beautiful eyes.

"Kunpeng Divine Son, your courage is admirable. But I will not be going for the Hell Red Lotus Fire. The Hell Red Lotus Fire has the effect of refining the physical body and transforming the soul. Moreover, after it blooms, its aura will open an ancient path through the void. At that time, many cultivators will come to fight for it.

I consider myself to have some talent, but I am not fated to obtain that Hellfire. I won’t be participating in this conflict."

Qianyue gave Ye Tianling an apologetic smile and took a few steps back. "Kunpeng Divine Son, in half a month, the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave will open. If the Heaven-Reaching Tower is a place for training, then the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave is a place of true opportunity. When the time comes, how about we go together?"

Ye Tianling stared intently at Qianyue.

Qianyue did not avoid his gaze.

"You seem to have a very high opinion of me?"

A hint of confusion appeared on Ye Tianling’s face.

"Celestial Secret Divine Son, correct? The Celestial Secret God Master once saved my life, and I sensed the aura of the Ten Thousand Souls Celestial Secret Order on you. Furthermore, the technique you used to suppress Die Xin and Li Rushan greatly resembles... the lost ’Tianshu Ancient Town.’ If that’s the case, then you actually come from the same race as us.

However, in this current era where the Ten Thousand Spirit Races coexist, there should no longer be divisions between races. That kind of racial discrimination shouldn’t exist anymore."

Qianyue was quite open, revealing the factors she had considered.

"I see. If all the Soul Masters of the Soul Race were like you, dealing with them would be far more difficult."

Ye Tianling felt a sense of relief.

"There are many in the Soul Race stronger than I am. I can only be considered a decent genius, not top-tier. Someone like you, Celestial Secret Divine Son, is the one who should be the bearer of this era’s Qi Fortune, favored by fate."

A slightly bitter smile touched Qianyue’s lips.

As she spoke, she proactively condensed a Soul Energy Body. "Let’s exchange a Soul Mark. When the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave opens, I’ll contact you. We can look out for each other then."

Ye Tianling nodded, also condensing a Soul Mark to exchange with Qianyue.

After completing the soul connection through the marks, Qianyue also breathed a sigh of relief. "Later, after I leave this place, I will contact Senior Zhuge Wuxu, the Celestial Secret God Master. You’ve killed Bai Changxi, which has caused a huge stir. Also, the land of the Hell Red Lotus is not peaceful. You shouldn’t let your guard down," Qianyue reminded him.

Ye Tianling said, "Alright, I understand. Then we’ll meet again."

"Celestial Secret Divine Son, we’ll meet again."

...

After Qianyue left, Ye Tianling also let out a small sigh of relief.

In Ye Tianling’s opinion, among the four Soul Masters, Qianyue was definitely not the strongest. However, if she had decided to attack just now, Ye Tianling would have certainly had to expend a great deal of effort.
