Chapter 814 At Death’s Door, Yet You Can Still Laugh?

The mountain ranges stretched on endlessly. As the vast, white mist gradually dispersed, the expansion rate of the Taiyin Ancient Tomb’s world also began to slow. Mountains, rivers, and lakes fully took shape. A bizarre and dazzling, yet incredibly real world gradually unfolded before the eyes of all the Cultivators. This entire process happened very quickly.

Meanwhile, Ye Tianling, under the identity of Yanyue Heng, had collected more Time Law Fragments and Space Law Fragments, causing his total haul to surge once again. He had now accumulated exactly 10,008 Space Law Fragments, and his Time Law Fragments had reached 5,920. At the same time, his true body’s Realm had noticeably shrunk, dropping further until it was on the verge of falling out of the Sword Tribulation Third Refining Realm. Ye Tianling was extremely satisfied with these changes.

Many of his Supreme Daos had undergone the accumulation of Time Law and Space Law here; they were about to step into the level of Ultimate Perfection, fully synchronizing with the current Cosmos. He continued moving forward, his mood perfectly calm. The Time Law and Space Law Fragments that could be found in this world were becoming increasingly scarce, and the rules of heaven and earth had clearly begun to undergo a series of unknown changes. These changes were imperceptibly lowering his Realm, while simultaneously allowing his comprehension of various Laws to steadily deepen and settle. The sensation of having experienced the passage of Time, the changing of eras, and even being "weathered" away was very intense. This feeling became especially prominent when Ye Tianling activated his Soul Talent.

Ye Tianling knew this was a rare opportunity to comprehend the evolution of the Cosmos’s Supreme Dao, so he kept his Soul Talent active at all times. Furthermore, the Form and Intent Transformation allowed him to not only possess the Three Paths of Sword Ancestor Realm, but also wield the Battle Power and Abilities of this Realm. This was incredibly terrifying; there was absolutely no difference between him and a complete Three Paths of Sword Ancestor Realm expert. If there was a single drawback, it was that the Energy consumption of his true body was staggering. Once the physical Energy originally suited for the Sword Tribulation Third Refining Realm was exerted at the level of the Three Paths of Sword Ancestor Realm, his internal Energy would rapidly run dry within just a few moves. Other than this, his Three Paths of Sword Ancestor Realm had no flaws. The terrifying nature of the Form and Intent Transformation Technique, a type of Emperor Dao, was already beginning to reveal itself.

After accumulating another ten Time Law Fragments, Ye Tianling absorbed and refined some of the Elixirs from the Holy Demon Qiankun Ring he had obtained earlier, restoring his depleted state back to its peak. Following that, he concealed the Spiritual aura on his Saint Level Battle Armor and hid the swirling Flowing Light on the Heaven-Slaying Axe to further conserve Energy. Once all his passive consumption was minimized, the Kunpeng Hidden Dragon Technique Cultivation Technique began to circulate on its own. Ye Tianling’s Evil Qi was withdrawn, and his personal Realm aura gradually dissipated. After all, the most important things in this world were the Law Fragments, and given his current state, almost no one would dare provoke him.

Meanwhile, the changes within the Taiyin Ancient Tomb were continuously ongoing. They might even disappear soon, synchronizing with the outside world. When that happened, such serendipitous opportunities would never be found again. Most importantly, Ye Tianling now needed to figure out a way to continue dropping his Realm; this was his fundamental purpose for transforming into "Yanyue Heng" in the first place.

Ye Tianling soared through the air, extending a pair of invisible wings. As they flapped gently like the wings of a Kunpeng, the Time Law combined with the Space Law and circulated naturally. His figure rapidly advanced like a fleeting shadow. In the endlessly distant horizon, through Ye Tianling’s Eye of Celestial Secret, an ethereal, peerless immortal palace seemed to exist. Its scale was massive, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, looking majestic and spectacular. Such an area was bound to be a core region.

Ye Tianling flew directly toward that location. However, despite trying numerous methods, the palace was like a mirage. He traveled for a full two hours but didn’t get a single bit closer; the distance remained unimaginably vast. Ultimately, Ye Tianling chose to give up. He stopped above an ancient, ruined forest and descended.

Here, the auras of many Time Law and Space Law Fragments lingered. Aside from that, for the first time, Ye Tianling sensed the auras of Law Fragments with Five Elements and Yin Yang Attributes, which seemed like evolved versions of Dao Rhyme Fragments. Dao Rhyme Fragments had always been incredibly precious resources. In the outside world, Ye Tianling was no longer able to absorb Dao Rhyme Fragments, but in this place, he was absolutely certain he could.

BUZZ.

The moment he landed in the ruined, dense forest, Ye Tianling immediately sensed the fluctuating aura of an Array. A Cultivator had laid down a Law Restriction in this ancient forest, and their methods were extremely complex and mysterious. The instant Ye Tianling landed, he had already triggered the Array, provoking its backlash.

"Cultivators are fighting over things... Furthermore, this Array contains a Holy Dao Aura," Ye Tianling thought. His mood turned slightly solemn. Wherever Law Fragments were densely concentrated, a Holy Dao Aura would often appear. This indicated that the fight for serendipities within the Taiyin Ancient Tomb had already reached a truly brutal stage.

"Boy, come here!"

While pondering, Ye Tianling was already trying to back away from the area. But at that moment, a very cold and arrogant voice rang out from afar. Ye Tianling glanced over to see a young man in green clothes. He looked somewhat similar to an old acquaintance Ye Tianling had once met, but Ye Tianling didn’t recognize him. Ignoring the call, Ye Tianling continued walking straight toward the outskirts of the mountain forest. Since there was a Holy Dao Aura here, he didn’t want to attract unnecessary trouble, even though he wasn’t afraid.

"You dog, I’m talking to you! Didn’t you hear me tell you to come here? Are you deaf?" Stepping into the Void, the young man in green stood in mid-air and looked down from above. His eyes stared at Ye Tianling with incomparable coldness as he pointed a finger and barked his reprimand.

"Do you want to die? Scram!" Ye Tianling coldly swept his gaze over the young man in green, exuding a freezing aura. He had just been planning to let the matter rest, yet trouble had instantly come knocking.

Hearing this, the young man in green was taken aback. Then, his voice filled with piercing hostility, growing several pitches sharper. "You reckless thing, you dare speak to a member of the Divine Descendant Ji Family like this?! I see you only have one head growing on your neck. Is that enough for me to chop off?!"

Ye Tianling’s heart stirred. He couldn’t help but recall his past enmity with Ji Kun and Ji Shang of the Ji Family, and his expression turned icy. A sinister sneer appeared on the corners of his mouth. If this young man hadn’t mentioned the Divine Descendant Ji Family, Ye Tianling might not have attacked so easily. However, the Divine Descendant Ji Family was exactly the same Ji Family that Ji Kun, Ji Xing, and Ji Shang belonged to. Ji Xing had already perished back in the Soul Burial Starry Sky, so Ye Tianling couldn’t judge whether he was truly dead for good. But there was absolutely no mistaking the Divine Descendant Ji Family as his great enemy!

"You dog, you’re actually still smiling? To think you can still smile when death is at your door. It seems you already know your end will be incredibly miserable!" A savage grin appeared on the young man in green’s face. His eyes were exceptionally cold and arrogant as he looked at Ye Tianling as if he were looking at a dead man.
