Chapter 478: Chapter 478: So Mad I Could Die
"This bloodline!"
"A Young Venerable!"
"This is Venerable Blood!"
"Holy shit! This bloodline is so noble, so terrifying!"
...
At that moment, all the top-tier figures, including the Emperors and Soul Masters, were utterly shocked!
"No wonder he’s so strong!"
"Genuine Kunpeng Divine Blood. If someone like that isn’t a Divine Son, then who is?"
"It’s a shame the Hell Demon Gate delayed his Cultivation. The strongest Divine Sons and Divine Ladies have already reached the Late Stage of the Sword Void Six Transformations, or even Perfection. He’s two small realms behind—a huge disadvantage!"
"It’s just two Small Realms, what’s the big deal? Besides, with his Venerable Talent, it’s only a matter of time before he enters the Venerable Realm and achieves Breaking Nine Forbidden."
"Looks like the Golden-winged Roc clan lucked out. You have to admit, having the Elder Roc King was a true blessing for them."
"No wonder the Celestial Serpent King has been protecting him so devotedly. He’s... managed to get on good terms with a Young Venerable."
"Sigh, the Great Xia Royal Family is in for a show now. Their clansmen, especially Xia Fanqian with her special Life Chart, were not only humiliated but killed. If she had only been disgraced, they could have forged some kind of connection, turning a disaster into an opportunity. But now that she’s dead, that’s impossible."
The crowd of Sword Ancestors also began to murmur amongst themselves.
Now, the way they looked at Ye Tianling had changed dramatically.
"This counts as Kunpeng Divine Blood, right? If not, I can materialize the Divine Blood for you to sense more clearly."
As Ye Tianling spoke, he glanced at the Elder Roc King and sent a mental message, "Elder Roc King, consider this my way of repaying your kindness."
The Elder Roc King was deeply moved and replied via transmission, "Yao Ling and Yao Lun have been searching everywhere for you on the Thirty-Sixth Layer, but there’s been no news. They truly care about you. I promised them I would protect you, but it seems I’ve been of no use at all. With your Talent, you don’t need my protection. Tianling Divine Son, thank you for still giving me, Yao Yan, this respect."
Ye Tianling just smiled. Nothing more needed to be said.
"It counts. I, Yao Yu, was blind. This matter... we... we will not pursue it any further."
She gave Nine Demon Beauties an inexplicable look, a thought stirring in her heart. ’What if she really is with child...?’
Nine Demon Beauties seemed to sense it. A stunned, dazed look flashed through her somewhat vacant eyes before she shook her head slightly, telling Yao Yu—’no’.
Yao Yu felt a strange pang of disappointment, though she herself didn’t know why.
"My Great Xia Royal Family..."
The Great Xia Emperor stepped forward.
However, at that moment, another Sword Ancestor Level expert flew over.
It was an old woman whose power had reached the terrifying heights of the Two Paths Sword Ancestor Realm.
Beside her stood Xia Xinqin, Xia Xinyue, and Xia Xinyan.
"The matter concerning my Great Xia Royal Family ends here. Furthermore, Tianling Divine Son, you promised to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave with Xinyan. When the time comes, I’ll be entrusting Xinyan to you. Please look after her."
The old woman’s gaze was kind and gentle, her goodwill evident from afar.
"Royal Sister, you..."
The Great Xia Emperor was flustered, his expression turning sour.
"This matter will not be pursued further. From now on, Tianling Divine Son is an honored guest of our Great Xia Royal Family! As for Xia Qiuhe, have his Master come speak to me! Xia Fansong and Xia Fanqian—those two deserved to die!"
The old woman’s tone was decisive, her words firm and resonant, leaving no room for argument.
The Great Xia Emperor glanced at Xia Xinqin and the other two young women, only to find all three gazing at Ye Tianling with eyes as soft as water, brimming with affection.
"Tianling Divine Son, do you always have to cause such a commotion?"
Xia Xinyan’s beautiful eyes were smiling, but they held a look of genuine admiration.
"Divine Lady Xinyan, you’ve already reached the Middle Stage of Sword Void Six Transformations. When are we going to try some Yin Yang Harmony so you can help me raise my Cultivation?"
Ye Tianling chuckled slyly.
His words made the Celestial Secret God Master’s mouth twitch, the muscles in his face stiffening.
The group of Sword Ancestors was also stunned by his brazen and explicit words.
"Anytime you want. If the Tianling Divine Son doesn’t find the idea distasteful, Xinyan would be delighted."
Xia Xinyan’s beautiful eyes curved into crescents, a smile so stunning it was almost startling.
"Er—alright, you win. We can discuss the art and pleasure of Yin Yang Harmony in the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave. Let’s forget about it for now."
Ye Tianling rubbed his nose, defeated by Xia Xinyan’s directness.
But he knew that the more forward she acted, the less real emotion was involved.
’If she truly had feelings, she would be more reserved and shy, and wouldn’t say such things so easily.’
"Mm, then I’ll be waiting for you in the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave~"
Xia Xinyan smiled faintly, as transcendent, brimming with Spiritual Qi, and ethereally beautiful as a Fairy.
Ye Tianling gave a wry smile. Then, with a mere thought, he released Bai Changyi and Bai Changsong.
When Bai Changsong was released, he was suddenly hit by a surge of Space Power. Thinking Ye Tianling was about to torture him again, he immediately dropped to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly with a series of THUDS. "Grandmaster Tianling, I was wrong!" he cried out. "I’ll never think of opposing you again! I’m worthless, just a piece of trash! Please, let me go!"
Bai Changyi, also alarmed upon being released, immediately bowed deeply. "Ye Tianling, I am no match for you! Stop torturing me! I admit I was wrong, okay?"
Only after they had spoken did the two of them realize their surroundings weren’t right. They were instantly dumbfounded.
"You two—"
"PFFT—"
"I’m so furious I could die!"
The Soul Master of the Celestial Wing Soul Clan, along with Elders Bai Yimei and Bai Yijun, looked as if they wanted to march right over and strangle Bai Changsong and Bai Changyi on the spot.
’A Divine Son!’
’The number one Divine Son of the Celestial Wing Soul Clan, acting like such a coward?’
’And in public, no less! Have you no shame?’
’Kneeling?’
’And kowtowing?’
’And calling him Grandmaster Tianling?’
"PFFT—"
Thinking of this, the three experts from the Celestial Wing Soul Clan wished they could dig a hole and crawl into it.
This was utterly mortifying. Utterly humiliating.
They spat out several mouthfuls of old blood, feeling completely disgraced.
By now, Bai Changsong had also noticed his actions were on full display, and his face instantly flushed with embarrassment.
"My skills were inferior. I am thoroughly convinced of my defeat," he said sheepishly.
"A loss is a loss. There’s nothing more to say," Bai Changyi said flatly.
After the humiliation of having his face stepped on and being forced to drink urine, Bai Changyi had become indifferent to what others thought.
’He had already endured the worst possible humiliation. What were a few looks of disdain? They meant nothing.’
Without another word, Ye Tianling released Die Xin, Li Rushan, Xi Junchang, and Mu Yuxi.
Their state upon release was similar to Bai Changsong’s—they all looked utterly cowed.
This left the onlookers both exasperated and curious—just what had Ye Tianling done to make this group of prodigies so completely submissive?
