Chapter 764: Unparalleled Venerable

Ye Tianling’s heart was heavy. If the sight of Divine Corpses strewn everywhere wasn’t shocking enough, then the power of the female corpse before him made him truly understand the terror of the world’s most supreme beings.

But at the same time, the female corpse’s Transformation Dao also gave him a deeper understanding of the cruelty of Cultivation.

BZZZ—

The female corpse absorbed the terrifying storm of Energy from between Heaven and Earth, as if trying to swallow this entire part of the world whole.

Soon, the excruciatingly painful stinging sensation Ye Tianling was experiencing began to subside.

In that instant, an Energy of Destruction seemed to pierce the Void and open the Ninth Layer Celestial Palace.

Wisps of its aura stirred the very firmament, powerful enough to shake the ages.

The dormant bloodline within her body finally began to flow, the sound of its movement like the thunder of ages, deafening and profound.

Not only that, but the female corpse also manifested a peerless Spiritual quality. Although her appearance remained withered, gruesome, and ferocious, Ye Tianling felt as if he could shatter the entire world with a single casual blow.

This was simply too tyrannical.

Ye Tianling stopped his Cultivation. As the bloodline flowed slowly, it felt as though the female corpse had already unlocked a peerless Ability. All Ye Tianling had to do was control it with his Three Souls and Seven Spirits.

The drain on Ye Tianling was reduced by more than a hundredfold; at the very least, it was no longer so difficult to control.

He seemed to have formed the most perfect bond with the female corpse.

Moreover, Ye Tianling even extracted the Dragon Soul Divine Blood from his own physical body and directly implanted it into the female corpse.

The Dragon Soul Divine Blood was an independent entity, capable of separating from his physical body and being extracted at any time.

The Dragon Soul Divine Blood quickly took root within the peerless female corpse, and the bloodline in her body immediately began to surge like a raging ocean, fierce and wild.

The Dragon Soul Divine Blood was like an Unparalleled Divine Dragon that had entered the Dragon Gate, finally gaining the ability to soar into the heavens.

BOOM! RUMBLE—

The terrifying Bloodline Power thundered. Ye Tianling felt the bloodline throughout his entire body turn brilliant and violent. He was like a Venerable resurrected, like a Divine Spirit descending upon the mortal world.

The feeling was simply too powerful.

All the splendors of Heaven and Earth were reflected in his eyes; nothing could hide from his sight.

All of this didn’t take long, but it was enough to be deeply etched into Ye Tianling’s memory.

The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword hovered quietly above Ye Tianling’s head, its aura even more ancient and powerful.

It was as if Ye Tianling’s increase in strength allowed it to release an even more terrifying power. Its overall color had even changed from a light gold to a dark gold.

This was a very obvious transformation.

Ye Tianling exhaled a breath of foul air, and the bones in his body let out a series of explosive CRACKS.

He was already getting used to this power.

He gazed quietly ahead, where a sea of clouds and mist was churning.

But deep within the mist, every single change was laid bare before Ye Tianling’s eyes. There were no secrets to be kept from him.

Within, numerous Divine Corpses, like dried-out mummies, were lined up in rows.

Even deeper, there was an ancient altar.

This altar greatly resembled the one in the Celestial Sacrifice Ancient City. It was a Hexagram, yet it contained the Power of Taiyin and the Sun’s Power, concealing within it the Law Transformations of the six paths and of life and death.

Previously, Ye Tianling would not have been able to see through these things, but now, they held no secrets from his eyes.

Although these Divine Corpses had decayed, the Divine Thoughts formed from their peerless resentment still remained.

Therefore, hidden everywhere within the clouds and mist of this world were incredibly ferocious Divine Thoughts. Each one was incomparably evil, emanating a dark green, hazy glow, yet they were concealed within Dao Rhyme Fragments, making them nearly impossible to detect under normal circumstances.

But Ye Tianling’s current situation was anything but normal.

"This power..."

Even though Ye Tianling knew it was heaven-defyingly powerful, he couldn’t help but feel shaken.

’Strong. It’s just too strong!’

However, it was precisely because the female corpse was so powerful that Ye Tianling understood he probably couldn’t use it too often.

His own strength had not reached that level, and the state of his Soul and other aspects was too low compared to the female corpse.

If he continued to use it recklessly, he feared it would lead to dire consequences and invite calamity.

Ye Tianling made a calculation in his mind. He passed through the clouds and mist, walking toward the Divine Corpses.

At that moment, in a flash of lightning, a shadowy figure shot violently toward the spot between Ye Tianling’s eyebrows.

It was a Divine Thought.

The situation was the same as before; the killing attack carried with it a gust of sinister, cold wind.

The cold wind blasted his face, and killing intent surged.

Previously, when Ye Tianling had endured that killing intent, he hadn’t been able to see what was attacking him. He had only felt that the killing intent was savage, sinister, and bizarre.

But this time, Ye Tianling could clearly see that it was a Divine Thought in the form of an old man with a wrinkled face.

However, this old man’s face was twisted and ferocious, his eyes emitting an evil, dark green light. It was hidden within a Dao Rhyme Fragment, its wild killing intent aiming to directly obliterate Ye Tianling’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits and then devour them.

Ye Tianling’s weakness was instantly exposed in the eyes of this Divine Thought.

After all, the female corpse was already dead. The living entity was not the corpse, but Ye Tianling’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits.

In just a ten-thousandth of a second, the killing attack was right before Ye Tianling’s eyes.

But Ye Tianling paid it no mind, his eyes narrowing.

A terrifying ray of blood-red light shot directly from his eyes.

The brilliant, blood-red light coalesced into an astonishing will to kill.

This was a strike that truly contained the attack of a Divine Spirit, or perhaps even a Venerable.

When this ray of blood-red light shot out, it was like the heavens collapsing and the earth sundering. If not for the incomparably terrifying Law of Order protecting this world, this single strike might have destroyed it completely.

"Not good!"

The elderly Divine Thought’s expression changed drastically. It clearly possessed Spiritual Wisdom, realizing in an instant that something was wrong. It immediately retreated like a bolt of lightning, then manipulated the transformation of the Dao Rhyme Fragment to instantly traverse the Void and escape the area.

But Ye Tianling’s Blood-Colored Killing Intent seemed to have completely locked down everything in this part of the world, preventing the Dao Rhyme Fragment from escaping, no matter how it tried to transform.

Finally, under Ye Tianling’s cold, harsh gaze, the Dao Rhyme Fragment was struck by the ray of blood-red light and instantly annihilated.

"Devour!"

Ye Tianling tried to activate the Devouring Law.

With a single thought, the Essence, Qi, and Soul of the Divine Thought—that Divine Thought containing Divine Power—let out a wretched scream. Then, with a PUFF, it was reduced to ash and smoke!

The previous ray of blood-red light had shattered the Divine Thought, but a thing like a Divine Thought was apparently not so easily destroyed.

Instead, it was only after the Descent of the Devouring Law that it began to shriek miserably before finally dissipating into nothingness.

Ye Tianling had thought there would be some benefit, or that the female corpse might show some slight positive change.

But even after devouring the Divine Thought, there was still no Energy transformation whatsoever within the female corpse’s body. It was as if she had eaten a mosquito’s leg—completely unnoticeable.

’This female corpse... I’m afraid she was an Unparalleled Venerable!’

Making a comparison and a judgment in his heart, Ye Tianling felt a mix of pleasant surprise and, conversely, a growing sense of dread.
