Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Chapter 414: You Have No Future

Ye Tianling’s heart jolted. He understood that this Dao was immensely significant to him—far more than just a core inheritance from the Holy Heaven Ancestral Land.

If all of Ye Tianling’s previous Divine Killing Daos were his foundation, then this Gathering Technique for the Celestial Sword Divine Body was a terrifying catalyst, instantly igniting and integrating everything.

"Tianling, do you understand?"

Saintess Tianqing spoke, her face growing slightly pale.

Passing on such a forbidden secret likely meant violating some kind of oath, which would result in a backlash.

Although Saintess Tianqing hadn’t directly passed on the forbidden secret, what she taught was something she had comprehended herself, based on the original Supreme Dao of the Celestial Sword Divine Body. Even so, imparting it would still incur a backlash.

"I understand. You..."

Seeing Saintess Tianqing’s aura instantly weaken by over ninety-nine percent, as if she had fallen into some terrible state, Ye Tianling’s heart couldn’t help but ache. An indescribable feeling of gratitude welled up inside him.

"Tianling, the stronger you become, the more hope we have. I’m not just helplessly placing my hopes on you; I simply want to help you, to make your future path a little brighter. Do you know how deeply I was moved when your hair turned white for love? So, being able to do this for you, whether you love me or not, truly touches my heart."

"Also... it’s not that I’m unwilling to give myself to you. In fact, I am. But you’re right—I was projected here through the Ancestor Tree Illusion Realm, so I’m afraid I’m in a strange state, a Half-Spirit Body, half-flesh. So I simply... can’t. Otherwise, I really would be willing. Even if our destiny was just to share a single, beautiful experience of Yin Yang Harmony, I would die with no regrets."

Saintess Tianqing said in a gentle voice.

"You... you’re such a fool. A complete and utter fool."

Ye Tianling was deeply touched, his heart stirred with emotion.

He pulled Saintess Tianqing into a tight embrace.

"I’ll teach you the Meditation Technique from the Chaos Destiny Scripture!"

Ye Tianling immediately wanted to impart this formidable Dao to Saintess Tianqing.

But Saintess Tianqing’s figure was already starting to fade away.

"I know what kind of backlash this inheritance brings. I’ll be fine. In the future, when I come to the Secret Realm and enter the Heaven-Reaching Tower, you have to guide me through it, okay? I’m going now. See you next time. And if you miss me even just a little, I’ll be even happier."

Saintess Tianqing smiled, but her figure faded away, bit by bit.

A sense of emptiness washed over Ye Tianling, but his voice was incredibly firm. "You cruel fool. How could I possibly be happy after you’ve done this? You’re just forcing me to remember you more deeply! Hmph, I definitely won’t miss you!"

"Hee hee, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease."

Saintess Tianqing laughed.

She could see that Ye Tianling was truly moved by her sacrifice.

This wasn’t a scheme or a ploy. She had simply wanted to give, sincerely wanting Ye Tianling to have an easier, better life.

’Fool... such a fool. Am I short on Cultivation Techniques? Will my life really be that hard? Will it?’

Ye Tianling murmured, staring blankly at the spot where Saintess Tianqing had vanished. His heart, however, was already filled with a sense of longing.

Her aura, her light fragrance, her pride, her softness... all of it made his heart race.

’Alright, I won’t be fine. Because right now, I already miss you.’

Ye Tianling muttered to himself, but then his gaze instantly turned cold.

Because a murderous aura, thick with Blood Evil, was already hurtling toward him from the distance.

"Ye Tianling, die!"

It was a Power of Slaughter saturated with Blood Evil, carving a terrifying crimson trench through the Void. Like a rolling cloud of blood, it thundered toward him.

This level of Battle Power, combined with the attacker’s high Realm, did put some pressure on Ye Tianling.

But that was all it was—pressure.

Ye Tianling simply raised his hand and threw a punch. The Reincarnation Life and Death Fist unleashed an ancient Fist Intent that shot across the sky, causing a section of the Void to detonate with a tremendous bang.

BOOM—

The punch directly dispersed the terrifying cloud of blood.

PFFT—

The cloud of blood roiled and burst apart. A figure inside was sent flying backward like a cannonball, violently thrown back by the force.

"So you do have some strength!"

The man barked, his tone sharp and cold.

"Blood Evil Power, with a hint of a Blood Demon’s aura. Are you here to avenge a Prince and Princess of the Great Xia Royal Family, or someone from the Immortal Phoenix Peacock Lineage?"

Ye Tianling asked calmly.

His opponent had used a strange technique to conceal his form, preventing Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent from immediately identifying him.

This proved that his opponent’s strength was indeed impressive.

’The Great Xia Royal Family? The Immortal Phoenix Peacock Lineage?’

The newcomer was none other than Mo Yuxi. Hearing Ye Tianling’s question, he couldn’t help but freeze. ’What does he mean by that? Does this mean he didn’t just kill Mo Yuyan and the other two, but also people from the Great Xia Royal Family and the Immortal Phoenix Peacock Lineage?’

Mo Yuxi suddenly berated himself for not thoroughly investigating Ye Tianling before coming here.

However, he immediately dismissed the thought as soon as it arose.

"I am Mo Yuyan’s senior brother, Mo Yuxi! Remember the name, because you won’t have a future!"

Mo Yuxi emerged from the dissipating cloud of blood. Though his vitality was still in turmoil from the impact of Ye Tianling’s punch, he felt that this Ye Tianling was not as overwhelmingly powerful as Mo Yuqian had claimed.

’So timid and hesitant, yet they want to become experts? Once I crush this Ye Tianling, they’ll see the gap between them and me!’

Mo Yuxi even imagined the scene: after he slayed Ye Tianling and avenged Mo Yuyan, a knot in his Dao Heart would be severed, allowing his strength to advance to the next level.

The knot in his heart was his affection for Mo Yuyan, which was much stronger than his feelings for Mo Yuqian. Now that Mo Yuyan was dead, if he didn’t step forward to avenge her, it would surely leave a flaw in his cultivation.

"You’re quite arrogant. But no one who has acted arrogantly before me, Ye Tianling, has ever lived more than a few days. You will be no exception."

Ye Tianling gave Mo Yuxi a casual glance. He had only thrown a careless punch, yet his opponent couldn’t even tell it was just a probe, likely assuming it was a strike at full Battle Power.

Though he spoke softly, his voice contained the Profound Meaning and the Power of Rules of the Lion’s Roar. It boomed like rolling thunder directly in Mo Yuxi’s mind and ears.

Mo Yuxi was stunned. His ears rang as if he’d heard a clap of heavenly thunder. The sound was not only deafening, but it also made the vitality in his body feel like it was about to explode, and his mind buzzed incessantly.
