Chapter 427: Chapter 427: My Dao Is the Killing Dao!
While everyone present was still merely in shock, a tempest was raging in Ye Tianling’s heart.
’Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave?’
’Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb?’
’Aren’t those the two most terrifying ancient trial grounds in the Small World?’
He had almost entered those two places before, but in the end, he hadn’t.
’Now, with the Descent of a New World, have those two places unexpectedly become so terrifying?’
"Since you two brothers have brought this up, I’ll share what I know."
At this moment, Meng Qianqiu also stepped forward.
He was one of the Divine Children who had remained here all this time.
After Kong Lindao’s reminder, he had now cultivated a heart that surpassed the Celestial Dao, and he was no longer much weaker than Ye Tianling or Kong Lindao.
"I am Meng Qianqiu, from the Reincarnation Heavenly Forbidden Ancestral Land. I possess the ancient Reincarnation Divine Body. My primary cultivation technique is the True Void Heavenly Forbidden Technique, *Great Dream of a Thousand Years*."
Meng Qianqiu first gave a simple self-introduction.
Kong Lindao said gently, "Please, go on."
Meng Qianqiu pondered for a moment before speaking. "I didn’t introduce my origins, Cultivation Technique, and Bloodline Talent to show off. It’s because when the New World was awakening, I performed a deep meditative cultivation of my Reincarnation dreamscape technique.
From the great dream, who awakens first? Of reincarnation, I alone am aware. Within a dream born of my True Void Celestial Forbidden Technique, I witnessed a very interesting scene.
Don’t we consider the original inhabitants of the outer world to be mere natives? We think of them as having humble and inferior bloodlines, the descendants of sinners.
But by the same token, in the eyes of the Blood Domain Demon Soul Demons from the Celestial Demon Blood Domain, and in the eyes of the Soul Masters from the Ancient Soul Clan and the Emperor Soul Race, we are actually called ’meat pigs’—creatures they raise in captivity to be slaughtered at any time. Our status is just as base and lowly.
Although I only witnessed the tip of the iceberg through the Thousand-Year Dream of my True Void Celestial Forbidden Technique, from that small glimpse, one can infer the whole."
Though Meng Qianqiu’s tone was nonchalant, his words struck everyone present like a heavy hammer to the chest.
"I’ve actually heard vague rumors about this myself, through a Manifestation of the Space-Time Totem in my Time Sand Divine Land. The content was more or less the same. If you all hadn’t brought it up, I wouldn’t have been interested in saying much. However, Brother Lindao, your words earlier were a true wake-up call, making us fully realize our own shortcomings and leading to our brand-new transformations today.
So, I want to say that if everyone continues to think they’re superior or that their Battle Power is invincible, you will ultimately suffer for it!
Brother Tianling, this may be unpleasant to hear, and I don’t mean to target you specifically, but your temperament is too defiant. You should learn to restrain it a little."
At this point, the Time Sand Divine Son, Mola, couldn’t help but speak up.
"Brother Mola, I appreciate your good intentions, but my Dao is different from all of yours. My Dao is the Killing Dao. If I were to restrain myself, I would no longer be me. However, after this, I will also focus on consolidating my Battle Power and improving the application of my strength."
Ye Tianling replied earnestly.
Mola’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t say anything more.
He had said all he could; whether Ye Tianling listened was beyond his control.
Every Divine Son and Divine Lady has their own Dao and wants to create their own techniques. There was nothing wrong with that.
"What Brother Tianling says is not wrong. One must not lose one’s defiant heart."
Kong Lindao, on the contrary, readily agreed with Ye Tianling.
Wu Yunxiao stood silently beside Ye Tianling. He hadn’t spoken the entire time, but he was deeply moved and had learned a great deal.
Now, after hearing Kong Lindao’s words, he wore a strange expression.
It wasn’t just him; even Kong Daoxi, Kong Daoze, and Ye Tianxi showed a peculiar look.
Kong Lindao obviously knew why. He didn’t hide it, saying, "Actually, in your eyes, I’m not qualified to say such things, am I? After all, my woman was humiliatingly killed by Ye Tianling. I shouldn’t be tolerating this; I should be seeking bloody revenge."
With Kong Lindao bringing the matter up himself, Ye Tianxi and the others became rather embarrassed.
As for Wu Yunxiao, he wore an expression that said, ’That’s exactly right.’ He wasn’t a man of many schemes; his thoughts were written plainly on his face.
"First of all, my marriage contract with Xia Fanqian was from a bygone era, arranged by our ancestors, and not something I desired. Secondly, while we did have a certain pull between our Souls, I would have severed that connection and drawn a clear line between us even if this incident hadn’t occurred. I had already come to fully understand her character, and she simply wasn’t my type.
Furthermore, many of her ways of conducting herself were in complete opposition to the principles of my Cultivation Technique.
For a woman I had no affection for, who had no real relationship with me beyond a title, why would I risk life and limb? It would have been meaningless.
The moment I heard the news, I was indeed slightly angry. But I gradually came to terms with it, because after that bond between our Souls was severed, my own mind became purer.
Now, the life-and-death battle with Brother Tianling has also completely severed that karmic tie.
As for the Immortal Phoenix Essence Blood, that was the real reason I intervened for Little Sister Tianxi. That was a separate price to be paid.
Given all this, have I wronged Xia Fanqian in any way?"
Only after Kong Lindao explained the reasoning did everyone feel a sense of relief.
Ye Tianling said, "Regarding Xia Fanqian, I would do the same thing if I had to do it all over again. They plotted against my friend, and I was merely giving them a taste of their own medicine. Treating a Saintess of our Human Race as a Tripod Cauldron, plotting to trample and Absorb her at will... If I hadn’t found out, so be it. But since I did, I don’t care how shocking their origins are. I’ll slaughter every man involved and humiliatingly kill every woman!"
Ye Tianling was utterly ruthless.
These words made Meng Qianqiu, the Time Sand Divine Son, and the others present feel their hearts pound with fear.
At the same time, a sense of dread filled their hearts. They made a mental note: ’When I get back, I have to warn my clansmen. No more casually slaughtering Human Race Cultivators—and especially no more humiliatingly killing any female Cultivators who are Saintesses.’
’Otherwise, if we run into him and a fight breaks out, the losses will far outweigh any gains.’
"This is another reason I disliked her. Her clan has actually done many such things. Ever since the world began to change, they’ve taken pleasure in this, even using methods like slaughter and Absorption to raise their Realms with astonishing speed. Although Xia Fanqian herself hadn’t yet taken the step of Absorbing Male Cultivators, what do you think would have happened when the power gap between her and Xia Fansong and Xia Qiuhe grew ever wider? When she discovered that her own diligent Cultivation was slower than them simply Absorbing a few Female Cultivators? Tell me, with her disposition, wouldn’t she have eventually started Absorbing Male Cultivators to improve her strength?!"
Kong Lindao’s expression was grim, but after a long moment of silence, he revealed this reason.
When these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present turned very strange.
In other words, if Ye Tianling hadn’t killed Xia Fanqian, it was very likely that, in a short while, Kong Lindao would have been cuckolded on a grand scale?
