Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Damn It
Ye Tianling activated the Netherworld Birth and Death Technique and gathered his Qi Blood Power. His entire body almost instantly dissolved into Soul Energy Particles.
By reassembling his own particles, he dispersed the terrifying crushing pressure and avoided the suppressive damage from the compression of the True Void Space.
Ye Tianling did not immediately use the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword to deliver a fatal blow. He was waiting for the perfect opportunity!
"Hm? You’ve actually cultivated the Netherworld Life and Death Path to this level? It seems Fairy gave you quite a bit of her Origin Essence Blood—all the more reason I can’t let you live!"
Gu Zhangyi’s pupils contracted, and the killing intent in her eyes only intensified.
’For Fairy’s sake, I wasn’t going to make things difficult for you. But since you’re this obstinate, from now on, I, Ye Tianling, will no longer hold back against any of you!’
Anger flared in Ye Tianling’s heart, his expression turning ice-cold.
Manifesting the Netherworld Life and Death Path to resist the crushing force of the True Void Space was the best method he had at the moment.
Gu Zhangyi’s strength was astounding. In a head-on fight, Ye Tianling was simply no match for her.
If he had his Demon Heart Sword Body, Ye Tianling would be fearless. But now, the Demon Heart Sword Body was completely depleted and utterly unusable.
As for the destructive power of the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, unless he could strike by surprise, it was impossible to land a killing blow on Gu Zhangyi.
Unlike the Saints who had pursued him, Gu Zhangyi was different. A technique like the Netherworld Life and Death Path, which could manifest the True Void and transform the user’s body into Energy Particles, was both an incredibly bizarre and wondrous Cultivation Technique and a terrifying Body Technique.
"Courteous? What does it matter if you are? And what if you aren’t? Don’t even mention that you only have a few months of life force left; even if you were perfectly healthy, you’d still be nothing more than an ant! You were doing just fine as the Celestial Secret Divine Son, so you should have stuck to that. You never should have meddled in the affairs of Sumeru Mountain. Its Cultivation Techniques, even more so, are not something you can covet."
Gu Zhangyi’s voice grew even colder.
The Void’s pressure intensified, and Ye Tianling still had no way to break free for the moment.
He continued to unleash the Netherworld Life and Death Path with all his might, using this technique to counter Gu Zhangyi’s own similar True Void technique.
Because the two Cultivation Techniques were of a similar nature, the crushing damage Ye Tianling received was reduced to an absolute minimum.
Although Ye Tianling couldn’t align with the Celestial Dao, he possessed the Kunpeng Hidden Dragon Technique. With this technique active, along with his Nirvana Nine Transformations, he took almost no damage.
However, this was no long-term solution. As the Space was compressed even further, the damage he sustained would gradually increase, and ultimately, he would have no escape.
"I never imagined Sumeru Mountain was this kind of place. Looks like I was too naive after all. All this talk of repaying a debt of gratitude, only to repay kindness with hatred. I really feel sorry for Fairy."
Ye Tianling taunted Gu Zhangyi while analyzing the changes in the space around them.
"Fairy is young and ignorant. She was tricked by your schemes into sacrificing her Origin Essence Blood to forcibly impart the Path to you, damaging her own foundation! For that alone, I would be completely justified in putting you down. What’s more, you could never understand the true significance of the Netherworld Life and Death Path. If this Path were to spread, the calamity it would unleash would be far beyond anything you could imagine.
So, you can only blame yourself for your greed. You should never have practiced this Cultivation Technique!"
As Gu Zhangyi spoke, a ruthless glint appeared in her eyes. She added, "Since you still want to resist and refuse to submit, then I’ll just send you on your way ahead of schedule! In this world, only the dead can truly keep secrets."
After Gu Zhangyi finished speaking, the murderous aura in her eyes coalesced, forming a cycle of life and death.
This was an incredibly vast and ancient Netherworld aura, like a current of the Power of Reincarnation. The moment it coalesced, it shot forth.
This power swept through the space. The True Void Space containing Ye Tianling had already been compressed to a little over a hundred square meters. Now, enhanced by this power, it instantly became even more terrifying.
BOOM—
The space trembled as if it were collapsing, and the sky itself seemed to explode.
The space containing Ye Tianling, after instantly compressing, suddenly expanded violently, like a real explosion.
This violent and extreme fluctuation was clearly a countermeasure aimed at the Netherworld Life and Death Path.
Gu Zhangyi knew Ye Tianling was using the Netherworld Life and Death Path to resist her, so she immediately unleashed the Celestial Evil Race’s Cultivation Technique designed to counter it.
However, this very explosion allowed Ye Tianling to instantly seize an opportunity!
Because this explosion allowed Ye Tianling to resonate with a Cultivation Technique he had mastered—the Chaos Destiny Scripture!
OMMM—
Almost simultaneously, Ye Tianling manifested the Chaos Destiny Scripture, visualizing the Chaotic Big Bang. In an instant, his Netherworld Life and Death Path transformed, morphing into the power of the Chaos Destiny Scripture.
BOOM—
With the eruption of the explosion, Ye Tianling’s figure dissolved into drifting wisps of Chaos Soul Qi and scattered.
Gu Zhangyi breathed a sigh of relief. Her furrowed brow relaxed, and her expression eased considerably.
But just then, a look of alarm suddenly flashed across her face. Her figure shot forward in an instant, crossing dozens of miles in a single step.
Her figure then solidified, and she thrust a palm across the sky. It manifested into the form of a great mountain, smashing down violently on a specific point in the Void.
That spot was where the dispersed Soul Qi was coalescing back into Ye Tianling’s figure.
He had just reformed and used the Kunpeng Hidden Dragon Body Technique to escape, only to be met instantly by Gu Zhangyi’s attack.
BOOM—
Gu Zhangyi’s strike was world-shattering, directly splitting the earth open into a terrifying chasm.
Ye Tianling’s figure dodged abruptly. Pushing his Soul Talent and other Abilities to their absolute limits, he just barely managed to evade the blow.
Even so, the power of Gu Zhangyi’s palm strike was apocalyptic. Its aura shook the heavens and the earth, and it blasted an incomparably huge and deep palm print into the ground.
Ye Tianling was shaken to his core. In the instant Gu Zhangyi thought he was dead, Ye Tianling had intended to attack, but Gu Zhangyi had sensed his intent instantly and struck back without hesitation.
If not for a certain precognitive Sensing Talent Ye Tianling possessed from the Insect Race, he would have undoubtedly been killed by that palm strike.
At this point, it was no longer a matter of animosity. Gu Zhangyi was now dead set on killing him, and this caused the killing intent in Ye Tianling’s own heart to blaze with extraordinary fervor.
’Damn it!’
Ye Tianling took a deep breath. A certain special talent from the Insect Race made his Soul Talent exceptionally acute and his Sensing Power terrifyingly potent, as if he could achieve complete Harmonization Dao with heaven and earth at any moment.
It was as if everything between heaven and earth fell completely within his range of Sensing.
In such a state, Ye Tianling’s ability to perceive any hint of danger had reached its absolute peak.
