Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Chapter 455: Shattering the Long White Snowfield

"You’re at death’s door and still dare to act so arrogantly!"

Bai Changyi snorted coldly, enveloping the entire Soul Realm Battlefield with his Power of Soul Dao.

He had created this Soul Realm Battlefield; he controlled all its rules.

The Saint Level Soul Artifact bonded even more closely with him, transforming its Power of Battle Soul into an independent Power of Rules that crushed down viciously upon Ye Tianling.

Ye Tianling already had a countermeasure in mind and was on high alert.

The moment Bai Changyi made his move, Ye Tianling unhesitatingly unleashed his Soul-Slaying Dao.

The Soul-Slaying Dao, much like the Soul Race’s Netherworld Birth and Death Technique, could instantly shatter and slash souls.

However, Ye Tianling’s execution of the Soul-Slaying Dao was far more thorough. As he performed it, he simultaneously began Meditation with his Soul Body.

Under these circumstances, he fully activated the Chaos Destiny Scripture.

Previously, Ye Tianling had always practiced the Chaos Destiny Scripture’s Meditation in his physical body. Each session allowed him to draw closer to the Celestial Dao, as if entering a perfect state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

But now, as he began to meditate in his soul form and unleashed the Soul-Slaying Dao, Ye Tianling had the terrifying sensation that he himself was dissolving into Chaos.

It was as if he now possessed the same Ability as Soul Masters like Xi Junchang and Bai Changsong—the power to dissolve into clusters of Soul Particles.

By slashing his soul during Meditation, the Chaos Destiny Scripture allowed Ye Tianling’s soul to transform almost directly into clusters of Soul Spirit Qi.

As a result, Bai Changyi’s crushing attack completely missed its mark.

His pupils contracted sharply. A look of utter disbelief appeared on his cold, handsome face.

"That’s the Netherworld Life and Death Soul Dao Technique of my Soul Race! How do you know it?"

Bai Changyi’s voice was laced with shock and suspicion, rising in pitch as he failed to contain his astonishment.

But Ye Tianling didn’t answer.

Transforming into this state was, in itself, a form of Soul Slash.

After unleashing the Soul-Slaying Dao, one of his souls had already disintegrated into Soul Energy Particles. It was as if he had cleaved one soul from his original Dual Soul—except this severed soul had transformed into particles instead of perishing.

Now, under the power of the Chaos Destiny Scripture, these clusters of Soul Energy Particles from Ye Tianling’s severed soul gathered together, forming what looked like a patch of Chaos.

’The cosmos and stars form the Taiji, which transforms into Chaos to birth destiny. Visualize the expansion of the cosmos, the evolution into primordial Chaos...’

In his pure soul state, free from the shackles of a physical body, Ye Tianling’s Cultivation of the Chaos Destiny Scripture was instantaneous. The effect was like unleashing a terrifying storm of Soul Qi!

At that moment, Ye Tianling’s Soul Qi converged. Then, within the environment of the Long White Snowfield, a fist-sized black hole suddenly appeared in the Void.

The black hole was like a nascent cosmos, and it began to expand, spreading continuously!

Ye Tianling’s Meditation plunged him directly into this state.

The next moment, Ye Tianling forgot everything.

A cold, desolate, dark cosmos manifested directly within Ye Tianling’s mind and soul. His Soul Spirit Qi also became a patch of darkness.

Ye Tianling continued to channel the Chaos Destiny Scripture. All his Soul Qi transformed into Chaos, then gradually converged into a single point.

BOOM—

Ye Tianling’s soul exploded.

Within this explosion, the origin of a cosmos evolved. It transformed into a Taiji, forming the Yin Yang Fish, and then a new soul was born.

After this cosmic big bang, Ye Tianling’s strength actually improved. His Early Stage of Sword Void Three Transformation approached Perfection, and he broke through from the Early Stage State to the Middle Stage State.

And for the highly condensed Long White Snowfield Soul Realm Battlefield, this big bang was nothing short of a Super Killing Move.

It was like a space that had been compressed to its absolute limit suddenly exploding.

The sight was too terrifying!

BOOM—

The entire Void trembled!

"Damn it—"

At that moment, Bai Changyi seemed to sense the danger and roared in fury!

He immediately tried to forcibly retract the Soul Realm Battlefield and release its binding effect on Ye Tianling, hoping to stop the self-detonation of Ye Tianling’s Soul Origin!

But it was too late!

Ye Tianling had unleashed everything in a ten-thousandth of a second. He was incredibly decisive; after receiving guidance from the Mechanical Heart, he had acted without a shred of hesitation!

It happened so fast that even if Bai Changyi could instantly perceive some of Ye Tianling’s intentions, he wouldn’t have had time to react. Besides, with his Soul Talent, how could Bai Changyi possibly know what Ye Tianling was thinking?

The self-detonation of Ye Tianling’s soul was like a true explosion of Chaos.

What was even more terrifying was that the small, black cosmos born from the Creation was like a real one!

Small as it was, it was complete in every way.

This tiny cosmos represented the rules of Chaos. How terrifying would the explosion of such a cosmos be?

The instant the Void trembled, Bai Changyi unleashed every technique he had.

He transformed into a blinding flash of light and deployed countless defensive measures.

Unfortunately, for an internal explosion like this, the stronger the defense, the more terrifying the resulting blast.

At the first tremor of the Void, Bai Changyi was already spitting blood. At the same time, his soul swelled and instantly burst, scattering into pieces of Soul Energy Particles.

But after that first tremor in the Void, the subsequent explosion was even more terrifying.

BOOM—

The Void quaked once more.

This time, the shockwave struck Ye Tianling, and even his own soul was affected.

PFFT—

Ye Tianling spat out a mouthful of Soul Blood. His Realm suddenly collapsed, regressing from the Sword Void Three Transformations Middle Realm back to the Early Stage.

Because after the explosion of his severed soul, Ye Tianling’s Void Realm Dual Souls had been reduced to one.

Seizing the rare opportunity, Ye Tianling’s remaining soul figure instantly rode the powerful shockwave out of the Soul Realm Battlefield’s space.

Having lost one of his Void Realm Dual Souls, Ye Tianling was left with only a single soul. His Origin was instantly depleted by about fifty percent, a truly grievous injury.

The moment he reappeared, he noticed that a large number of powerful Cultivators were already flying toward the Hellfire Red Lotus Area.

Any Cultivator who could reach this place was exceptionally powerful.

Ye Tianling glanced back at Bai Changyi. A sharp glint flared in his eyes, which immediately took on an extremely vicious look.

Although he was in bad shape, he had suffered a tremendous loss. Now that he had an opportunity, he would show Bai Changyi absolutely no mercy.
