Chapter 811: Slaying Ghost Shadow and Bright Moon

Within the slaughter of the Axe Dao, the distorting Time Law and the locking Space Law were infused.

Therefore, that strike possessed heaven-slaying and earth-shattering might. Reflected in the green-clad old man’s eyes of disbelief and sheer incredulity, a gleam of axe light instantly cleaved into the center of his brows.

SQUELCH!

That Killing Dao strike was brutal and terrifying, so powerful it defied the heavens. A streak of blood-red light pierced right through the green-clad old man’s glabella.

His Three Souls and Seven Spirits evolved into a Battle Soul, soaring into the sky. Yet, the moment it rushed out, it touched the blood-colored axe light, instantly letting out a miserable shriek before shattering and facing Destruction.

BOOM!

The green-clad old man’s entire head exploded, reducing into a mist of blood. His headless corpse crashed down backward, facing the sky.

A single strike.

The killing intent of the Axe Dao erupted, and the green-clad old man was instantly subjected to an Absolute Kill! This scene completely stunned the young woman in the red tulle dress.

"Die!"

Wielding his Battle Axe, Ye Tianling did not manifest any Divinity killing intent, yet he unleashed his own peerless Battle Power. His Breaking Ten Battle Power, combined with his Invincible Heart of Absolute Kill, once again manifested the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao.

SLASH!

The axe chopped outward, its speed reaching the absolute zenith. The Time Law and Space Law operated, almost simultaneously locking onto the young woman in the red tulle dress.

She widened her eyes. Her lips trembled, but she couldn’t utter a single word.

The void grew a few degrees quieter.

From the center of the woman in red’s brows downward, a massive amount of azure blood flowed out. The blood appeared somewhat bewitching and bizarre. Ye Tianling’s killing intent had cleaved her in half with a single strike. It was only because the speed was so immense that her corpse hadn’t yet split apart.

At this moment, the woman’s gaze had completely frozen. Deep shock and a trace of fear still lingered in her pupils. However, these expressions began to dissipate, ultimately fading into a lifeless and dim pallor.

SPLAT!

The woman’s body burst open, instantly shattering into a mist of blood as she died a tragic death on the spot. With the force of snapping dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, Ye Tianling’s single strike had subjected her to an Absolute Kill.

Simultaneously, Ye Tianling noted that no Guardian Dao Light or defensive Ability had appeared on her body. He recalled the words previously spoken by the green-clad old man, suddenly realizing that in this place, certain defenses and Guardian trump cards truly would lose their effectiveness.

"Fortunately, Yanyan’s shell is neither a Guardian Mark nor an Emperor’s Thought. It should still be usable, just with a few limitations..." Ye Tianling felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

Deep in thought, he willed his mind, snatching over the Qiankun Rings belonging to both the green-clad old man and the young woman in the red tulle dress. At the same time, he gathered the Devouring Law to absorb the Essence, Qi, and Soul of both individuals. Performing Refinement on them with the Samadhi Celestial Fire, he stored them away within the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower.

A moment later, having finished this task, Ye Tianling immediately began collecting Time Law Fragments.

Only about a thousand fragments remained here, and these were precisely the extremely crucial ones—difficult to capture and equally hard to collect.

Ye Tianling walked through the void, absorbing the Time Law Fragments through the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower. Unlike the old man’s strenuous efforts, nearly every time he reached out, he would secure one or two fragments. Sometimes, when sweeping across a section of the void with the cooperation of the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower, he could gather around ten fragments in a split second.

Over a hundred breaths later, Ye Tianling had collected another two hundred Time Law Fragments.

At this time, in the distance, a beam of cyan-purple light projected downward.

BOOM!

An old man wearing long cyan robes coalesced from the void.

Ye Tianling’s pupils shrank. Immediately circulating the Kunpeng Hidden Dragon Technique, he retreated nearly ten thousand meters, pulling open the distance between himself and the newcomer.

The old man’s appearance was exceedingly similar to the one Ye Tianling had just slain. Recalling the mournful shriek that the green-clad old man had used to send a message earlier, how could Ye Tianling not realize that this person and the old man Ghost Shadow were from the same group?

As Ye Tianling pondered this, the cyan-purple-robed old man’s blood-red eyes, possessing a ferocious glare like that of an Evil Ghost, locked directly onto him.

"You killed Ghost Shadow and Bright Moon?" The old man’s voice was incomparably shrill and sinister, inducing a piercing, bone-chilling cold in the heart of anyone who heard it.

"That’s right. I cleaved them to death with a single swing of my axe. Their souls scattered, and they were reduced to ash and smoke!" Ye Tianling replied nonchalantly, though his tone was equally icy. He stared straight at the cyan-purple-robed old man without yielding in the slightest.

This was an incredibly powerful expert, his strength far surpassing that of a Daoist Ancestor. If Ye Tianling were to battle him, he might not necessarily be a match. However, the Heaven-Slaying Axe contained a strike capable of slaying a Divine Spirit, which would certainly do the job. Yet, once used, this trump card left to him by Yanyan would be completely expended. The Heaven-Slaying Axe would likely lose its major usefulness afterward.

Under the current circumstances, Ye Tianling did not have a better choice. At the same time, experiencing this incident made him realize that it would be difficult for him to remain in this place with his current identity. Otherwise, there would likely be endless slaughter. Running into a Daoist Ancestor was fine, but if he encountered a Saint or even a Divine Spirit, it would truly be hard to escape.

"You little beast!" The old man’s complexion instantly became dreadfully sinister. His face, resembling withered tree bark much like the previous old man’s, twisted into extreme ferocity.

WHOOSH!

He abruptly opened his mouth and spat fiercely.

SWISH!

A terrifying burst of Holy Dao Power shot forth, transforming into evil creatures resembling Blood-Colored Cat Demons that viciously lunged at Ye Tianling to assassinate him.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

These Blood-Colored Cat Demons were incomparably evil. Just the Manifestation of this Totem Phenomenon alone caused Ye Tianling’s qi and blood to churn, instantly subjecting him to the influence of Destruction. His eyes stung intensely, and his entire body felt as though he had plunged into an icy cavern, unexpectedly rendering him entirely immobile.

In that very split second, Ye Tianling had already prepared to bring out the killing intent of the Heaven-Slaying Axe to slay the old man. However, his attack simply didn’t have the chance to be unleashed. As expected, when an opponent’s Realm surpassed that of a Daoist Ancestor, he had almost no opportunity to even strike.

HUM!

At this exact moment, Ye Tianling sensed a terrifying crisis of death. The Time Law within his body loosened. In that instant, Ye Tianling regained Control over his body. In a ten-thousandth of a split second, almost instinctively, he activated the Silent Extinction Purple Flame from within Yanyan’s shell located at the center of his brows.

BUZZ!

The Silent Extinction Purple Flame abruptly turned into purple light, shrouding Ye Tianling’s body. It completely countered all evil creatures. Although Ye Tianling did not utilize Yanyan’s physical body, he could similarly use the Silent Extinction Purple Flame produced within her body.

THUD!

The Blood-Colored Cat Demons, dense as a swarm of locusts and ever-changing, numbered over a dozen as they viciously slammed into Ye Tianling’s body. But right at this moment, after the Purple Flame manifested, all the Cat Demons that struck it let out incredibly miserable shrieks.

POP! POP! POP!

Terrifying streaks of purple-black blood light erupted. They instantly exploded into fine powder, all of which was then absorbed by the Silent Extinction Purple Flame.

In a flash, the Silent Extinction Purple Flame unexpectedly grew considerably stronger.
