Chapter 760: Nine Dragon Soul Poison

"You? An ant like you dares to make such a bold claim? You don’t even know what the Nine Dragon Soul Poison is, and you think you can find a cure?"

The man’s voice dripped with contempt.

"A bold claim? I am a disciple of the Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King. Whether I can stop it or not, at least I’m trying! Besides, I don’t want Feng Chaoge to have died for nothing."

Ye Tianling added after a brief pause.

Upon hearing this, the Crystal-Winged Man’s expression shifted subtly.

The change wasn’t obvious, but it couldn’t escape the instinctive perception of Ye Tianling’s powerful Soul Talent.

With his Soul Talent’s range shortened to a one-meter radius, its ability was greatly enhanced.

The winged man had been about to strike Ye Tianling and had already moved within that one-meter radius, which was how Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent was able to sense him.

"Feng Chaoge? Heh, that idiot was nothing but a disgrace to my Celestial Beauty Race. A filthy beast, a mongrel born from some lowly Immortal Phoenix and one of our people, worthy of being compared to our Phoenix Family? As for the Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King... are you really his disciple?"

The figure sneered.

But immediately after, when mentioning the Thunder Inference King, a hint of caution and awe did indeed appear in his expression.

Ye Tianling took out a Projection Stone and manifested a scene he had prepared.

Once created, replicating such a scene as many times as he wanted was no problem at all.

The scene manifested and then faded away.

The Crystal-Winged Man, however, watched with extreme focus.

"The Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King and Empress Bai Yin... once a peerless couple envied by all the world, yet who would have thought it would end like this. The Thunder Inference King buried an era, but he also buried his own lover."

The voice sighed for some unknown reason, sounding indifferent.

But then, his gaze fell on Ye Tianling and grew even colder. "Considering you have some connection to the Thunder Inference King, scram."

Ye Tianling froze, finding it hard to believe.

’Could it be that this Crystal-Winged Man saw through my ruse?’

Ye Tianling also felt a sense of displeasure. For one, although this man possessed Divine Consciousness and was a true Divine Spirit, his insults toward Feng Chaoge were completely unacceptable.

Insulting Feng Chaoge was one thing, but repeatedly telling him to "scram"—his words dripping with contempt—also made Ye Tianling extremely uncomfortable.

Ye Tianling knew that the weak had no say in this world. But this man was just a wisp of a Divine Spirit’s remnant thought. ’What right does he have to be so arrogant?!’

"I’ve already stated my purpose for being here."

Ye Tianling responded coldly.

"It seems you really think you’re something special. Let’s not even talk about you being the Thunder Inference King’s disciple. Even if you were, so what? As it happens, I need some Essence, Qi, and Soul to awaken and transform. I’ll just kill you and awaken more of my Divine Sense!"

The man held nothing back, and his killing intent flared once more.

With the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower, Ye Tianling was not afraid.

However, if this man truly targeted him, he feared his physical body would be utterly destroyed.

Ye Tianling’s expression turned grim, and a furious killing intent raged within his heart.

’In this era, if the Nine Dragon Soul Poison really erupts as this man said, it will be a true world-ending catastrophe.’

’It’s one thing for this man not to ’help’, but he actually wants to kill me and stop me from finding a way to deal with the Nine Dragon Soul Poison?’

’Even though this was just an excuse on my part, if I could really find a solution, wouldn’t it be a golden opportunity to resolve the hidden threat of the Nine Dragon Soul Poison?’

’The chance of an outbreak of something like the Nine Dragon Soul Poison is just too high!’

"Fine. I’d like to see just how strong a mere Divine Thought like you really is!"

Ye Tianling’s face darkened, and he snorted coldly.

Immediately, he gathered all of his Bloodline Power, preparing to burn it as a Blood Sacrifice and channel the Power of Demon God and Divine Power to unleash an absolute killing blow—the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao—with his Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword.

But the moment he drew the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, the winged man’s eyes suddenly fixed on it, a look of utter shock appearing on his face.

’He recognizes it?’

A strange feeling inexplicably rose in Ye Tianling’s heart.

At that moment, the Crystal-Winged Man’s expression grew exceptionally complex. At the same time, he fiercely gathered his Divine Dao Killing Intent, intending to forcibly execute Ye Tianling.

But the instant his killing intent converged, his expression changed abruptly, and he involuntarily shivered.

His eyes were locked on the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword. Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and an even more terrified look appeared in his eyes.

THUD, THUD, THUD—

He stumbled back seven or eight steps, sending out a stream of his Divine Sense to probe Ye Tianling’s Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword.

VMMMM—

The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword pulsed with a faint golden light, and the Crystal-Winged Man’s Divine Sense was instantly trapped.

Not only was it trapped, but the power of his Divine Sense immediately began to flow into the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword as if it were being devoured. He couldn’t pull it back, nor could he sever the connection.

"AH—"

The man shrieked. With a sharp flap of his crystal wings, his entire body became a streak of light as he violently tore himself free.

At the same time, his illusory body was coated in a layer of biting frost.

His face was visibly pale and his expression a mixture of shock and uncertainty. He didn’t dare release his Divine Sense again.

He stared at Ye Tianling from a distance, his eyes filled with deep apprehension, and said no more about killing him.

"Go on, you old dog! Make your move!"

Ye Tianling glanced thoughtfully at his Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, instantly realizing it was the ultimate counter to this strange entity.

Seizing the moment, he taunted mockingly, hurling direct insults.

The man’s face darkened, but he didn’t retort.

Ye Tianling snorted coldly and continued, "Calling Feng Chaoge an ant? A mongrel? A beast? He was countless times nobler than you! As far as I’m concerned, all those things you said were just descriptions of yourself!"

Ye Tianling’s mocking words made the Crystal-Winged Man’s expression turn even uglier.

Blazing killing intent flared in his eyes as he stared death at Ye Tianling, yet he still didn’t make a move.

Clearly, he was extremely wary of the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword in Ye Tianling’s hand.

’I don’t know if it’s the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword itself that has some terrifying power, or if it’s the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao—which I’m about to unleash with the Power of a Demon God and Divine Power—that can inflict destructive damage on this Divine Thought, making him so apprehensive...’

Ye Tianling mused inwardly. He couldn’t be sure which it was for the moment, but he leaned more toward the former.

In other words, the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword still held unknown secrets that he had yet to uncover.

As he contemplated this, Ye Tianling started walking toward the man.

Seeing Ye Tianling approach, the man, though shocked and enraged, had no choice but to retreat, putting more distance between them.

Ye Tianling’s expression was cold and aloof, and he strode forward step by step, unperturbed.

He brandished the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, circulating the Samadhi Celestial Fire around it and using his own blood for a Blood Sacrifice to further enhance its power.
