Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Control of Fate, Rise of the Venerable
"Don’t thank me. It was your own good fortune that you could comprehend a sliver of the Celestial Dao Rule Domain. If you had been unable to grasp it, then even if I had helped you, I could have only provided you with some tempering."
Feng Chaoge’s voice echoed from the leaf.
But it was merely the projection of a mark, not the real Feng Chaoge.
With the manifestation of this projection, the real Feng Chaoge would learn of Ye Tianling’s progress and could finally be at ease.
Ye Tianling let out a long breath. Then, he began to cultivate the most problematic of his techniques, the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique.
However, the re-cultivated Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique could not be optimized here at all.
Ye Tianling tried several times, but each attempt ended in failure.
Still, he managed to optimize the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique somewhat, cultivating it to the Second Layer.
Of his techniques, the Returning Butterfly Cocoon Technique and the North Nether Divine Skill had truly reached the Perfection Level of the Second Layer. In contrast, the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique had barely progressed. This, in itself, proved just how terrifying the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique truly was.
Next, Ye Tianling re-cultivated the Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique. After combining this Divine Technique with the Devouring Law, he was now comparable to an unparalleled Divine Dragon. His power surpassed the bloodline talent of the Dragon Race by an unknown number of times!
Ignoring the passage of time, Ye Tianling then devoted himself to cultivating the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao, the Nirvana Rebirth Skill, the Reincarnation Life and Death Fist, the Asura Soul-Slaying Killing Dao, the Tianshu Ancient Town Celestial Secret Divine Skill, and the Chaos Destiny Scripture.
After Ye Tianling used the methods of the Celestial Dao Rule Domain to cultivate, gain insights, re-establish, and have epiphanies about these Cultivation Techniques, all of them stepped into the Great Perfection level of the Second Layer.
Upon reaching this stage, Ye Tianling clearly sensed his own bottleneck!
It felt as if he were a cosmos stretched to its limit, on the verge of exploding. To achieve his next transformation, he would have to self-destruct.
But in truth, Ye Tianling had no confidence that he could survive such a self-destruction.
Ye Tianling finished re-cultivating all his techniques, but his Realm had actually regressed slightly, falling back to the Sword Void Six Transformations Perfection Realm.
His Battle Power had also fallen, only reaching the level of Breaking Eight. The portion of his power he could exert had also shrunk, from forty-five percent down to around twenty-three percent.
’This is due to my own instability. In reality, my Battle Power and overall strength have improved immensely, but that’s only in the context of the New World. The New World is still growing, still expanding. Every time it expands, the Realms and Battle Power of all Cultivators decrease! It’s just that this decrease isn’t as obvious as it once was.’
’So, my previous methods of judgment were all static. But in reality, cultivating with such a fixed mindset and method of comprehension naturally leads to instability. That’s why I hit a Realm barrier at Sword Void Six Transformation!’
’A shifting perspective, a life of decay... these are all manifestations of the Laws of the world’s changes. I only focused on increasing my strength, but I ignored the true meaning behind these changes. Now, I finally understand!’
’If everything is in flux, just like the changing Dao Patterns on the leaves of the Celestial Dao Rule Domain... every leaf is still that same leaf, and yet every leaf is also different!’
’This is the truth! This is the meaning of Cultivation! I can be myself, but at every moment, I am not the me of the previous instant, nor am I the me of the next.’
’This is the meaning of a particle, my meaning, the meaning of existence, the meaning of Cultivation!’
’I understand!’
Ye Tianling opened his eyes. Within them, the transformations of numerous Laws—such as Netherworld Life and Death and Particle Origin—swirled. In the end, they merged into one, becoming a single point of light that appeared between his brows.
The Eye of Celestial Secret opened, then just as naturally, it vanished.
At that moment, the bloodline within Ye Tianling’s body was completely enveloped by layer after layer of the Dragon Soul Divine Blood’s power, which then thoroughly permeated it.
In that instant, his originally flawed bloodline, his past Innate Deficiency, and the risks latent within his cells were all cleansed away.
The depleted state of his cells vanished. Although the Venerable Soul Curse remained, it belonged to the category of ’Celestial Dao Erasure,’ not cellular depletion.
Ye Tianling had undergone a complete transformation. His Realm naturally returned to the Early Stage of Sword Void Seven Transformations.
His Battle Power once again reached the level of Nine Forbidden!
The portion of his Battle Power he could exert grew to thirty-six percent.
As for his own bloodline, it had completely transformed into pure Dragon Soul Divine Blood.
When he used the Kunpeng Hidden Dragon Technique, he was the unparalleled Kunpeng Divine Son.
When he used the Little Faceless Technique to simulate any bloodline, he could become the Unparalleled Divine Son of any race!
And if he used his Particle Origin to manifest the changes of the Dragon Soul Divine Blood, he could truly transform into a dragon! He could become a golden-red, five-clawed Divine Dragon, manifesting endless Battle Soul totems.
At the same time, Ye Tianling’s Three Souls were fully activated and fused into one. The Power of the Seven Spirits was also activated, creating a corresponding harmony with his techniques and forming a unified whole.
VMMM—
Ye Tianling stood up. With a single thought, a ball of fire appeared at his feet.
It was the Samadhi Celestial Fire, now at an entirely new level.
The moment the flame appeared, even the leaves of the Celestial Dao Rule Domain seemed to warp and twist. This alone was enough to prove how heaven-defyingly powerful the flame was.
’The Venerable Soul Curse originates from the Celestial Dao Rule Domain itself. Only by truly comprehending the meaning and changes within the Celestial Dao Rule Domain can I break this curse. But for now, after this transformation, my Life Force has been extended to three months. Three months is enough time.’
Although Ye Tianling hadn’t been able to comprehend the Time Axis, this period of re-cultivation within the Celestial Dao Rule Domain Secret Realm had brought him the greatest possible gains.
If he were to encounter Gu Zhangyi again, he still might not be able to defeat him, but he could now escape completely without any pressure or danger.
’I don’t know how much time has passed in the outside world... But with Nine Forbidden Battle Power completely in sync with the New World, and the ability to exert thirty-six percent of that power... I am now truly invincible in the Void Realm! It’s time I paid a visit to the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave.’
Ye Tianling murmured to himself.
At this moment, his expression was calm, but his eyes were exceptionally bright and profound.
He was like an unparalleled god of slaughter, fully awakened from antiquity and truly descending upon the world.
Ye Tianling opened his hand. The golden leaf within it flew up into the sky and vanished from this world.
The sky dissolved into Chaos, and Energy surged in from all directions.
Ye Tianling took out his Star Disc, recalling the spatial environment of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Within his mind, a vast amount of Soul Qi formed a Chaos Celestial Curtain. Upon this curtain, numerous Dao Patterns began to transform.
’Void node... location of the Teleportation Array... Celestial Qian, Ren Kun, Li Kan, Jiu Li...’
Ye Tianling quickly established his coordinates, locking onto the location of that Teleportation Array.
Half an hour later, the coordinates of the array were recorded on the Star Disc.
Then, Ye Tianling activated the Star Disc, and his figure vanished completely from this world.
