Chapter 812: Purple Flame Slaughters the Saint Demon

Noticing this scene, Ye Tianling couldn’t help but be startled. Meanwhile, the old man in the blue-purple robe was frantically tearing at his hair. He vomited blood repeatedly, bleeding from all his orifices as he let out a heart-wrenching, agonizing scream. Blue-purple Daoist light erupted from his body, completely enveloping him. His body twisted and convulsed within this Daoist light, appearing to be in extreme agony. Amidst this, a blood-colored cat—looking as if it were clamping its jaws onto a blood-red infant—was undergoing an incredibly bizarre transformation.

"Is this a Cat Demon?!" Ye Tianling was astonished. This old man was not a true human elder, but a bizarre Demon Beast. However, its Realm was terrifyingly powerful. It had likely already stepped into the Saint Realm.

Ye Tianling’s entire body was shrouded in Purple Flame, its terrifying Attack Power forming an invincible defense. However, circulating this Purple Flame caused an immense depletion. In just this brief moment, the Essence, Qi, and Soul of the old man at the Four Paths Sword Ancestor Realm he had slain earlier had been completely exhausted. As for the young girl in the red gauze skirt, she was only around the Sword Tribulation Second Refining Realm. Her Essence, Qi, and Soul could not sustain the depletion of the Purple Flame at all; in an instant, it was also drained dry.

Ye Tianling immediately retracted the Purple Flame, not daring to ignite it again. The Purple Flame could indeed be utilized, but if he continued any longer, his own Energy would be instantly burned away. This kind of depletion was simply too terrifying!

Knowing this was a rare opportunity, Ye Tianling gritted his teeth and instantly performed a Blood Sacrifice on the Heaven-Slaying Axe. Following Yanyan’s inherited methods, he directly activated the Godslaying Attack within the Heaven-Slaying Axe.

BOOM!

The Heaven-Slaying Axe flew out of its own accord, instantly locking onto the twisting, howling Blood-Colored Cat Demon.

SLASH!

It was an incomparably massive Battle Axe. A single strike from the giant axe, a Divine Dao Strike, was truly akin to Heaven and Earth Creation. This blow nearly tore through the entire Taiyin Ancient Tomb. This strike even instantly devoured nearly three hundred Time Law Fragments in this world!

One could only imagine the heartache Ye Tianling felt. Even more terrifying was that nearly three hundred hidden Space Law Fragments in this world were also devoured! As the space tore open, nearly ten thousand Space Law Fragments manifested. Ye Tianling was absolutely stunned! Previously, even when existing in Yanyan’s body and looking through her eyes, he hadn’t seen these hidden Space Law Fragments!

Ye Tianling sighed endlessly in his heart. At the same time, after the Heaven-Opening Axe gathered Space-Time Power, it instantly slashed toward the still-agonized Cat Demon!

This was a true Saint. Incomparably powerful, heaven-defying! Just its aura alone had nearly killed Ye Tianling.

Had Ye Tianling not previously absorbed nearly a year’s worth of Time Law Fragments to gain peerless accumulation; had he not repeatedly viewed the World from the perspective of Yanyan’s body to comprehend a sliver of the Emperor Dao Level worldview; had he not comprehended the Second Layer of the Celestial Dao Rule Domain; and had he not mastered the power of the Time and Space Laws, he would have been doomed this time!

The terror of a Saint made Ye Tianling deeply understand that no matter how powerful he was, no matter how heaven-defying his Talent, he must conceal his identity well within this Taiyin Ancient Tomb! At the very least, he could no longer casually expose his identity as Ye Tianling. In this place, many likely did not want him to make it out alive! The Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King was undoubtedly formidable, but it was obvious that in this place and in the eyes of those people, the Guardian of the Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King could not be utilized at all!

SLASH!

The killing intent of the Axe Dao possessed earth-shattering majesty. Like a bloody phantom, it split open countless spaces, unleashing myriads of Laws. Seven-colored divine light shot into the sky, triggering anomalies in this world. The Daoist Rhythm Law radiated brilliantly. The Battle Axe carved out a Star River, its weight as immense as the blessing of a World. That strike completely plunged Ye Tianling into peerless shock.

SLASH!

Time itself seemed to revert to an unimaginable point of origin. That strike instantly hit the Blood-Colored Cat Demon. Nine blood-red silhouettes chained together. A cat has nine lives. But at this moment, nine lives were simply not enough. Struck by the giant axe, the Blood-Colored Cat Demon’s eyes revealed the transformations of the Ninth Layer Reincarnation. Its Origin Energy surged overwhelmingly, yet it still couldn’t withstand a single blow.

SLASH!

The blood light shattered. The Fierce Ghost-like monster manifested by the Cat Demon directly exploded, completely disintegrating under this peerless Killing Dao meant for slaying a Divine Spirit.

"Devouring Law!" At that moment, Ye Tianling summoned Yanyan’s physical shell to absorb it.

Yanyan’s body flew over, and the Devouring Law circulated on its own. A massive amount of the Saint’s Origin Essence, Qi, and Soul fell into Yanyan’s body just like that. Previously, with the blessing of the Laws, Yanyan had already recovered her Fairy-like peerless beauty and Spiritual essence. Now, using the Saint Origin to supply Yanyan’s shell to absorb and store Energy, her physical body gained an extra touch of Spiritual aura.

Providing Saint Origin for this Emperor Dao shell to use was still like tossing a cup of water onto a burning cart of firewood. However, it was, after all, the Origin Energy of a Saint. If utilized by Ye Tianling’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits, he could still use it a few more times. But under normal circumstances, Ye Tianling would no longer use it lightly.

After Ye Tianling retrieved Yanyan’s body and returned to his own physical form, he still couldn’t suppress the chill running through him and shivered. Having been struck by an aura of the Holy Dao earlier, almost his entire body had been frozen. Wisps of Extreme Cold Yin Qi from the Supreme Yin made the circulation of his Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique quite sluggish. After repeatedly circulating the technique and spending a full half an hour, Ye Tianling finally managed to recover.

However, he dared not waste any more Time. He activated the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower, walking through the Void as he began capturing the Space Law Fragments and Time Law Fragments here. This time, he expended a tremendous amount of mental focus, pushing his comprehension of the Time Law and Space Law to the absolute limit. As a result, after a full three hours, Ye Tianling had captured exactly 9,730 Space Law Fragments and a total of 3,970 Time Law Fragments.

During this process, Ye Tianling’s Realm regressed a bit further. It was even starting to become unstable at the Early Stage of Sword Tribulation Third Refining Realm. There were still Space Law Fragments and Time Law Fragments in this world, but it had become very difficult for Ye Tianling to capture them.

Ye Tianling didn’t waste any more Time. Instead, he carefully began pondering the Cultivation Technique Yanyan had once used to disguise herself as the Thunder Inference King—the Form and Intent Transformation Technique. He selected a concealed Chaos Region and merged with the world via the Harmonization Dao, concealing his aura even further.

Simultaneously, Ye Tianling entered Yanyan’s body to comprehend the Form and Intent Transformation Technique. With Yanyan’s physical shell present, it was indeed incredibly easy for Ye Tianling to comprehend the technique. It was as if an invisible guide was helping him gradually understand where the Profound Meaning of this Form and Intent Transformation lay.
