Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Slaying a Saint
PFFT—
That sword strike seemed to sever the final link of Soul Qi. Gu Zhangyi let out a wretched cry, and after a brief struggle, his Holy Soul was directly annihilated by the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword.
Imbued with the immense power of the Samadhi Celestial Fire, the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword possessed the foundation for a Holy Dao attack.
With this strike, Gu Zhangyi’s Holy Soul completely disintegrated.
BOOM—
The void shattered, and destructive power ravaged the surroundings.
After Gu Zhangyi’s Holy Soul shattered and disintegrated, the imprisonment that had bound him completely vanished.
A wave of relief washed over Ye Tianling, but his condition was still dire.
His Life Force had dwindled to the point where he only had nine days left.
Worse, Gu Zhangyi had only lost a Holy Soul Void Body, not his true self.
Ye Tianling stepped out of the pocket of imprisoned space. The surrounding Fox Race members had long since vanished.
The sky was overcast, and the foot of Sumeru Mountain remained desolate and barren.
An extreme sense of crisis welled up in Ye Tianling’s heart. He knew he had to leave as quickly as possible.
With one of his Holy Souls destroyed, Gu Zhangyi would certainly strike again.
HUMMM—
Ye Tianling burned a mouthful of Essence Blood. Even though it meant depleting his life force even further, he had no choice but to flee at top speed.
He had already reached his limit and couldn’t possibly handle another expert who surpassed the Void Realm.
After being used repeatedly, the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword’s energy had been depleted by over ninety percent. This was despite having been nurtured with the Essence, Qi, and Soul Origin of countless Saints.
BOOM—
Ye Tianling’s figure flickered. He pushed the Kunpeng Hidden Dragon Technique to its absolute limit, and his aura immediately underwent a profound transformation, concealing him on a deep level.
At the same time, he flew a great distance, combining various Soul Qi rune array methods and rearranging his cellular particles to alter his entire aura.
Ten thousand li away.
Ye Tianling had transformed into a young man in green robes. Exuding faint traces of a Celestial Evil Race aura, he traveled silently through the world.
In the distance, a thick, heavy, and destructive aura suddenly permeated the sky.
It was a true Holyly Dao Aura.
Ye Tianling looked up and clearly saw Gu Zhangyi riding a black cloud, leading a full seven Daoist Ancestors as they passed overhead.
"Cover this entire region. Seal it with the Ancient Forbidden Technique of Sumeru Heaven and Earth. Don’t let that brat escape! He only has nine days of life left. If he gets away, he’ll definitely pass on the Netherworld Life and Death Path, ruining the orthodoxy of our Sumeru Mountain!"
Gu Zhangyi’s voice was soft, yet it resounded with perfect clarity in Ye Tianling’s mind.
The Parasite ability seemed to have created an indescribable master-servant connection between Ye Tianling and Gu Zhangyi.
Ye Tianling knew this was likely a feature of the Parasite ability. Fortunately, Gu Zhangyi didn’t seem to share this connection.
Otherwise, Gu Zhangyi wouldn’t have flown right over his head without attacking him.
At this moment, Gu Zhangyi’s appearance was that of the Celestial Evil Race member that Ye Tianling had killed earlier.
Not far away, many other members of the Celestial Evil Race were constantly passing by.
Like Ye Tianling, these clansmen all looked up at the sky, their expressions calm, devoid of joy or sorrow.
Ye Tianling did the same.
"Have any of you seen this person?"
Suddenly, a Female Daoist Ancestor descended. With a wave of her hand, an image of Ye Tianling’s face manifested.
It was as large as a mountain, big enough for countless members of the Celestial Evil Race to see.
Many of the Celestial Evil Race members said nothing, their eyes cold and emotionless.
They gave it a fleeting glance before returning to their own business.
Whether it was hurrying on their way or releasing Celestial Evil Energy to create some sort of resonance with each other, they paid the Daoist Ancestor no mind.
"Prince Qi Yan, have you perhaps seen this person?"
The Daoist Ancestor descended, stopping a short distance from Ye Tianling. She bowed slightly and inquired.
"Get lost!"
Ye Tianling spoke faintly as Celestial Evil Energy surged forth, carrying the terrifying Soul Power of the Celestial Evil Dragon Soul.
The Female Daoist Ancestor’s expression turned slightly unnatural, but she still clasped her fist in a salute. Taking a reluctant step back, she then turned and left.
"Any results?"
Further away, Gu Zhangyi asked in a low voice.
The Female Daoist Ancestor shook her head. "The Celestial Evil Race are the same as ever, nothing unusual. However, that Prince Qi Yan of theirs seemed even more arrogant and indifferent than usual."
Gu Zhangyi wasn’t suspicious. "Fairy is back, and the core inheritance of the Jade Fox Race is about to reach Perfection. The imprisonment between Heaven and Earth is about to be lifted, and when that happens, the peerless experts of our Sumeru Mountain will emerge one after another. For them, that’s naturally not good news. Alright, let’s go guard that Ancient Teleportation Array. Then he won’t be able to escape this space."
The Female Daoist Ancestor thought for a moment and said, "Elder Changyi, could it be that this Celestial Secret Divine Son intentionally took on the appearance of Prince Qi Yan to deceive us?"
Gu Zhangyi replied, "He can’t possibly have that ability. The Celestial Secret Divine Hall and the Celestial Secret Dao have long since declined. Without the *Tianshu Ancient Town Celestial Secret Divine Skill*, it’s impossible for him to understand the true Celestial Secret Transformation Technique. Enough. Let’s just head to the location of the Ancient Teleportation Array and wait for him there."
Gu Zhangyi spoke again.
...
Even though Gu Zhangyi was now a great distance away, Ye Tianling still heard his words.
He knew that the ’Parasite’ he had left on Gu Zhangyi must be having some effect.
However, Ye Tianling currently had no way of determining the exact details.
Other than being able to overhear some of Gu Zhangyi’s conversations, he gained no other benefit.
"Prince Qi Yan."
Nearly thirty members of the Celestial Evil Race flew over and bowed to Ye Tianling.
Their voices held no respect, nor any emotion, as if they were a group of Mechanical Puppets.
Ye Tianling nodded slightly and pointed at two of the Celestial Evil Race members with somewhat stronger auras. "You two, come here."
These two members of the Celestial Evil Race had the appearances of a man and a woman, but Ye Tianling knew they had no true gender; they merely looked that way.
"Yes, Prince."
The two bowed again and obediently flew over to stand before Ye Tianling.
Ye Tianling gathered his dwindling Life Origin, converged the Law Profound Meaning of the Insect Race, and reached out, pointing directly at the male and female-looking figures.
The two Celestial Evil Race members, the man and the woman, didn’t resist at all, allowing Ye Tianling to do as he pleased.
PFFT! PFFT—
Ye Tianling’s two fingers jabbed into the center of the Celestial Evil Race members’ foreheads.
The two Celestial Evil Race members were like ice struck by a ball of fire. In an instant, the energy in their bodies dissipated, and black light began to pour out of them.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT—
Instantly, the two Celestial Evil Race members’ Life Force rapidly depleted. Within a few breaths, their Life Force fell silent, and their entire bodies turned into nothingness.
Not even a single black Energy Particle was left behind.
