Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Ancient Fairy vs. Ye Cangkun [1]
Atop the Yellow Grand Bell, Ancient Fairy stood quietly.
She wore a beautiful, light purple gauze dress, her entire body veiled in an unparalleled aura of Charm.
This aura of Charm was incredibly mystical, making her seem almost unreal.
But her beauty was breathtaking.
Ye Tianling glanced over. Hun’Er, who had just been mesmerized by Ye Tianling’s own looks, was instantly captivated by Ancient Fairy.
’So beautiful! That Charm Power... Tsk tsk, it’s truly unrivaled.’ Ye Tianling was inwardly astonished, but he quickly regained his composure.
Even so, he couldn’t help but be amazed.
The Yellow Grand Bell, the Celestial Secret Origin Method, the Path of Space-Time Tracing.
Ancient Fairy’s appearance stunned a group of Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Spirit Races.
"That is an unparalleled Divine Artifact! It might be even more than just a Divine Artifact!"
A Soul Master and a Demon Lord instantly grasped the situation.
"The Celestial Secret God Master’s Donghuang Bell was actually given to Ancient Fairy? Not to the Celestial Secret Divine Son, Ye Tianling?"
The Great Xia Emperor was also astonished.
"Ancient Fairy is Ye Tianling’s Disciple. It’s the same no matter who gets it. Besides, with Ye Tianling’s Talent, does he even need the Donghuang Bell?"
The Soul Master of the Ten Thousand Dao Soul Clan said faintly.
"The way you put it... I’m actually speechless."
The Great Xia Emperor was taken aback, then replied sheepishly.
The Donghuang Bell hovered in the Void, and eventually, all the Phenomena dissipated completely.
The Void trembled. Behind Ancient Fairy, Que De and the others all moved to protect her, directly facing the group of Guardians by Ye Cangkun’s side.
"The Celestial Secret Divine Son is no longer here, but the battle between his Disciple and Ye Cangkun still has all the splendor of their original fight."
"No, this battle is even more attention-grabbing. I just wonder if the Ancient Fairy Goddess can exhibit the same invincible divine might as the Celestial Secret Divine Son."
"If he weren’t confident, given Divine Son Ye Cangkun’s low-key nature, why would he have accepted this fight?"
"And if she weren’t confident, why would the Ancient Fairy Goddess have issued the challenge?"
...
All sorts of discussions rose and fell once more.
Ye Tianling saw Ancient Fairy as well.
He longed to rush forward and pull this disciple—who had become so strong, yet so heartbreakingly pitiable—into his arms.
But he controlled himself.
This battle was a good opportunity for Ancient Fairy to prove her Dao.
"You’re finally here! I’ve waited a long time for this battle."
Ye Cangkun’s gaze locked onto Ancient Fairy, his eyes glittering.
Then, his figure moved abruptly. Like a bolt of lightning, he suddenly appeared further in the Void. He had been eleven thousand meters from Ancient Fairy, but in an instant, he closed the distance by five thousand meters!
Five thousand meters in a single thought, in less than one ten-thousandth of a breath.
At that speed, he didn’t even leave an afterimage!
Just this one Body Technique was enough to move everyone watching.
’He’s gotten stronger again!’
This was the shock and awe felt in the hearts of all the Cultivators who witnessed the scene.
Ancient Fairy paid no attention to Ye Cangkun, instead murmuring in her heart, ’Master, I wonder if you’ve come? And Master’s wife, Ruoxue, will you come too? Fairy caused such a huge commotion just to use the world’s momentum and all its information to bring you two back together... Fairy misses you so much, Master.’
Only then did she take a step forward.
With a single step, she also closed the distance by five thousand meters.
But Ancient Fairy said nothing, as if it were an extremely easy thing to do.
Only a thousand meters separated the two.
"Your strength is passable, but you’re no match for me. I know Ye Tianling isn’t dead, so I hope he shows up before you’re defeated. That way, you might be spared death!"
Ye Cangkun spoke faintly, his voice cold and indifferent.
His face was expressionless, but his words contained an extremely powerful will.
"Whether Master appears or not is unimportant. What’s important is that my Master’s legacy is with me, and I will not let it be tarnished. Anyone who bears a grudge, hatred, or enmity toward my Master can come at me!"
Ancient Fairy finally spoke.
Though a woman, she was valiant and heroic. An aura of Dao rhythm flowed around her. Her Charm Ability and Talent, combined with the Dao Principle Radiance, made her as Spiritual and otherworldly as the peerless Jiutian Profound Lady, captivating the hearts of all who saw her.
"How arrogant! The era of the Celestial Secret Divine Son is in the past, and you will meet your Silent Extinction in this battle today!"
Ye Cangkun snorted coldly.
From his body, wisps of the Great Dao’s aura began to suffuse the air.
It was as if the aura of a Celestial Tribulation was spreading between Heaven and Earth, and traces of the Great Dao began to manifest.
"CHHHH—"
Wisps of destructive electrical arcs gathered around Ye Cangkun’s body.
This was a Phenomenon triggered when one’s Realm and Battle Power reached a level where they resonated with a Celestial Tribulation.
This Phenomenon alone proved that Ye Cangkun’s Battle Power was Near Nine!
"The Human Race really does have some heaven-defying talents!"
"Wrong. That’s the son of the Taotie Divine King. He belongs to the Ancient Demon Race."
"Ah— It seems you’re right."
"Indeed, he isn’t from the Human Race. He just grew up and practiced Cultivation among them."
Many Saint Masters and Soul Masters conversed in low voices. Though they weren’t loud, many other Cultivators still overheard them.
"WUUUMMM—"
At that moment, Ye Cangkun made his move.
His speed was so extreme that he didn’t even leave an afterimage, just like the ultimate speed he had displayed when covering five thousand meters in a single thought.
"CHHH—"
Taotie Devouring Heaven Divine Skill!
For his very first move, Ye Cangkun unleashed his Talent Totem—the invincibly powerful Taotie Devouring Heaven Divine Skill.
This new version of the Taotie Devouring Heaven Divine Skill was completely different from the one Ye Tianling had comprehended, but it possessed an ultimate and heart-pounding Devouring power.
Devouring, violence, corrosion, sinister evil—all sorts of negative concepts seemed to be contained within this Devouring Divine Technique.
When the Divine Technique was unleashed, it immediately produced negative emotions like palpitations, fear, and mania in others, making them utterly disoriented.
Between Heaven and Earth, an area several thousand meters wide was instantly plunged into darkness.
The darkness descended, as if tearing open the original Void, and completely enveloped Ancient Fairy.
This attack was infinitely powerful, its divine might surging to the heavens. Even many of the Soul Masters’ faces paled slightly.
This strike was too strong, and it was a killing move using the invincible Devouring Law!
Nine-colored light manifested all over Ancient Fairy’s body. The colors were incredibly vibrant, instantly illuminating the dark Void.
Her eyes revealed an endless, complex aura of Dao rhythm, as if evolving a wisp of blood-colored, ethereal light.
"CHHH—"
The next moment, it was as if a blood-red Flame ignited in Ancient Fairy’s eyes; they turned completely crimson.
"Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao!"
Ancient Fairy channeled the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao, and a blood-red Battle Axe appeared in her hands.
The Battle Axe was as tall as she was. It looked incredibly thick and heavy, exuding a complex sense of ancient vicissitude and a vast aura of Ancient Qi.
Ancient Fairy unleashed the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao. With an axe blow that seemed capable of sundering the heavens and splitting the earth, she struck out without hesitation.
Within the darkness.
A bloody light spread.
A blood-red Battle Axe seemed to cleave open Heaven and Earth, splitting the endless darkness apart.
