Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Want to Escape? Can’t Escape
Ye Tianling did not hold back.
The Samadhi Celestial Fire surged forth, aimed straight at Gu Zhangyi’s head.
This was his only chance to overpower a Saint.
BUZZ—
The Samadhi Celestial Fire ignited upon Gu Zhangyi’s blood-soaked head. A series of CRACKLES, like the very sound of Transformation Dao, echoed without end.
HISS—
But in that instant, something unbelievable happened.
In the spot where Gu Zhangyi’s head had been, where the attack had pierced through, it was as if a dark black hole had formed. From that empty space, a dark, blazing sun actually appeared.
It was just like the bizarre variations of a Celestial Evil Race Cultivation Technique.
The black sun unleashed a dazzling light, repelling the Samadhi Celestial Fire and stopping it in its tracks.
It was a destructive Dark Power, like a special barrier formed in an instant. After repelling Ye Tianling’s Samadhi Celestial Fire, it enveloped her head and what was left of her nearly obliterated body.
BUZZ—
A massive amount of Dark Energy surged. Gu Zhangyi’s entire figure transformed into a dark sun, which then exploded into a cloud of dark Energy Particles.
Like wisps of black smoke, the Energy Particles clustered together, instantly reforming into the complete figure of Gu Zhangyi.
Gu Zhangyi now stood within a cluster of black clouds, looking completely unharmed.
She floated there silently like a Yin Spirit, not far from Ye Tianling.
However, her face was exceptionally pale, a stark contrast to the black clouds behind her.
"To think you could force me to reveal my trump card... Truly incredible! A mere Void Realm cultivator with such Battle Power? It seems the Celestial Secret Divine Hall found you a very powerful Weapon! And your compatibility with it has reached an astonishing level! It’s truly hard to imagine!"
Ye Tianling’s pupils contracted. He gathered his Samadhi Celestial Fire, performed the Blood Sacrifice Xuan Yuan Soul, and once again unleashed an Absolute Kill.
He used his own power to command the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, letting the blade strike on its own.
WHOOSH—
The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword had already devoured a great deal of power, including some from Gu Zhangyi. Now, as it once again unleashed the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao, its Attack Power was still incredibly formidable.
The blade was like the very embodiment of the Destruction Killing Dao, piercing through the Void.
Its speed was truly at the absolute limit.
But Gu Zhangyi didn’t resist. Or rather, she didn’t have time to before the black light pierced through her once more.
But to Ye Tianling’s alarm, even as the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao sliced through Gu Zhangyi, cutting her in two...
...in the next instant, she completely recovered. Her two halves merged back into one, as if she had never been attacked at all.
Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent clearly sensed it: this time, Gu Zhangyi had suffered no damage whatsoever!
’The Samadhi Celestial Fire can’t even damage her? No, that’s not right. In that instant, she reversed True and Void. She’s using some kind of Cultivation Technique!’
A chill ran through Ye Tianling’s heart.
Then, at that moment, that special premonition of his seemed to manifest once more.
’My Insect Race Talent, combined with the Samadhi Celestial Fire, can annihilate her! Right now, she’s in a Void Soul state, not her true body!’
’From the very beginning, I’ve been fighting a clone—a Holy Soul Clone Void Body!’
For reasons he couldn’t explain, Ye Tianling became aware of the situation.
"So that’s the foundation of your attacks. However, given the extent of your life force’s decay, you only have a few days left to live, don’t you? In that case, you can die without regrets."
Gu Zhangyi spoke lightly. Having familiarized herself with Ye Tianling’s attack patterns, she was surprised, but mostly attributed his power to the sword in his hand. Ye Tianling himself wasn’t bad, but that was all.
For a Divine Child to have come this far was certainly surprising, but that was the extent of it.
’I don’t know where this Ability of mine comes from, but all the abilities I’ve mastered have now formed an unprecedented state of harmony due to my extreme life force decay. Since this instinct has emerged, I might as well give it a try.’
Ye Tianling gradually calmed down.
He was no longer angry.
He was no longer filled with killing intent.
He had already given his all to bring the battle to this point.
This settling of his heart and mind brought Ye Tianling into a state of greater clarity.
"I thought your true body had come, but it turns out you’re just a Void Body projection. If you were here in your true Saint body, I might be helpless at this point. But a mere soul projection? Why would I fear that?"
Ye Tianling said coolly.
In that moment, he completely activated his Celestial Evil Dragon Soul.
It was a special Battle Soul, born from a mutation of his Insect Race Talent and Celestial Evil Race Talent.
This time, Ye Tianling didn’t perform the Three Souls Fusion. He only utilized this single Battle Soul.
WHOOSH—
With this Battle Soul, Ye Tianling activated the Samadhi Celestial Fire.
The Samadhi Celestial Fire coalesced into the Slaughter Technique from the Chaos Destiny Scripture.
Destruction!
Creation!
The Celestial Fire was like the Cosmos birthing Chaos. As it exploded, a curve of Chaos manifested the Insect Race’s Parasite Talent. Infused with Ye Tianling’s Venerable Soul Curse, it instantly shot into the phantom Gu Zhangyi had manifested.
That strike transcended the concept of speed.
The moment the strike was unleashed, Gu Zhangyi was hit.
Gu Zhangyi never even imagined that Ye Tianling still had any Power of Attack left. In her eyes, he was a spent force, completely and utterly depleted.
But when that strike was unleashed, a sense of mortal danger finally bloomed in her heart.
"Ah—!"
Gu Zhangyi cried out in shock and fury, letting out a bloodcurdling scream.
HISS—
The killing intent of the Insect Race’s parasitic Profound Meaning—a fusion of Destruction and Creation—erupted. It was combined with the burning power of the Karmic Fire within the Samadhi Celestial Fire and carried the explosive Law of decay from the Venerable Soul Curse. Gu Zhangyi’s Soul was instantly enveloped by the Law of Destruction, deteriorating and crumbling at a terrifying speed.
It was like ice and snow melting rapidly under a blazing sun!
The scene was too horrifying.
In a single instant, ninety-nine percent of Gu Zhangyi’s Void Soul was annihilated. It nearly shattered completely, on the verge of undergoing Transformation Dao.
"You—"
Overcome with shock and fury, Gu Zhangyi shrieked repeatedly. Her Holy Soul dissolved into Soul Energy Particles in a desperate attempt to escape this unknown, terrifying killing intent.
But now, the very Imprisonment she had set up was trapping her. She couldn’t possibly dispel it in an instant.
"What’s wrong? Trying to run? Can’t escape? The Imprisonment you set up yourself has become your own death trap! Don’t you find this all rather satisfying?"
Ye Tianling sneered and once again brandished the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword.
With a single cleave, he unleashed the killing intent imbued with the Profound Meaning of the Insect Race.
