Chapter 736: Late Stage of Sword Tribulation Second Refining

His Soul shattered, but the Soul-Slaying Dao activated, instantly restoring it.

His Soul shattered again, only for the Netherworld Life and Death Path to evolve Soul Particles and the Netherworld Heavenly Bridge Technique to manifest, reforming it once more.

His physical body exploded, and the Nirvana Nine Transformations technique activated.

His entire body blew apart, but he cast the Nirvana Rebirth Skill and was immediately restored.

This dazzling array of transformations put Ye Tianling’s profound strength and various Heaven-defying Techniques on full display, leaving the prodigies utterly dumbfounded.

Duan Cangyue, Ji Yun, and the others all sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

At the same time, the muscles in their faces twitched uncontrollably, their expressions a spectacular sight to behold.

"This Celestial Tribulation is blasting him like this and still can’t kill him? How much of a freak is he?!"

"Is this the invincible physical body of the Sword Venerate Dominating Body?"

"Damn it all to hell, he recovered again! And he’s instantly back at his peak!"

"Holy shit, he blew up again, and recovered again... What is he, some kind of unkillable bug?"

"This is too heaven-defying! His Three Souls and Seven Spirits shatter and instantly recover. Damn it, we’re supposed to fight a monster like that?"

"Fuck, so this is a Young Venerable. I will never be his enemy. Damn it, I’d rather die than fight him!"

"Is he even human?"

"He was never human. He’s an Unparalleled Celestial Dragon!"

"An Unparalleled Celestial Dragon like him? He must be an Unparalleled Divine Dragon!"

"The biggest mistake of my life was fighting Ye Tianling!"

"From now on, if I see him, I’m taking a detour."

"From now on? We should be worried about surviving this encounter first!"

...

Deeply shaken, the group of prodigies couldn’t help but voice their complaints.

This was simply too heaven-defying!

They had seen countless geniuses, but never one like this.

Unkillable, indestructible.

Even a super Celestial Punishment couldn’t do anything to him!

This was truly terrifying.

A super Celestial Punishment—that was an attack far surpassing Ancestral Dao Killing Intent! He could block a fucking attack like that?

Many of the prodigies felt incredibly conflicted. As for fighting Ye Tianling?

They would never entertain such a thought again.

At least, not before stepping into the Ancestor Dao Realm. They would never again entertain the thought of fighting him before then.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!—

The super Celestial Punishment descended again.

This time, Ye Tianling had already completed several rounds of physical transformation. He had absorbed the Thunder Origin that had been refined from the super Celestial Punishment, and his body had grown even stronger.

After withstanding this Celestial Punishment, he was nearly obliterated. It was a miserable sight; his body had been blasted to dregs, and barely a single bone was left intact.

But he held on, completing this most difficult trial by Celestial Punishment.

Then, Ye Tianling’s physical body began to recover.

At this moment, the rest of the Hell Celestial Tribulation descended once more. But this time, his reformed body and bloodline had already begun to turn crystal-clear. Ye Tianling’s bones transformed from gold into an unparalleled Crystal Skeleton.

When the next super Celestial Punishment descended and struck, Ye Tianling’s whole body trembled. Although he coughed up blood continuously and his body cracked, the injuries were now bearable.

Transformation!

Transformation!

The transformation continued!

His body absorbed the Power of Celestial Punishment and gradually recovered.

The Celestial Punishment struck again.

This time, his body only showed faint cracks, and Ye Tianling merely coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.

Next, a full nine-nine Supreme Dao Celestial Tribulation, with nearly eighty super Celestial Punishments of the Destruction Killing Dao, descended one after another, striking Ye Tianling’s body.

When that incomparably terrifying Chaos divine light and the purple-black Celestial Tribulation, carrying the power of the Destruction Law, came crashing down, Ye Tianling could already withstand them directly with the strength of his physical body.

His Thunder Flame Divine Body was evolved to a whole new level, and his Samadhi Celestial Fire also rose to a new height, becoming incomparably powerful and heaven-defying.

Ye Tianling’s body completed its transformation under the super Celestial Punishment. The Qi and blood in his body were like an ocean, and the Dragon Soul Divine Blood and Azure Celestial Dominator Blood within him fused even further, transforming into a will like that of an Azure Celestial Divine Dragon.

Within every drop of his blood, it was as if an Unparalleled Divine Dragon was swimming.

Ye Tianling’s bloodline had become exceptionally powerful.

His Battle Power, without a doubt, had increased even further on top of its Breaking Ten foundation.

Not only that, but his ability to exert his Battle Power also soared from forty-five percent to a terrifying fifty-four percent!

Ye Tianling’s Sword Tribulation Second Refining Realm was completely tempered, reaching an extremely profound level. He stepped directly into the Late Stage of the Sword Tribulation Second Refining Realm in one go!

Ye Tianling’s Soul became incomparably crystal-clear, and his Divine Thought grew exceptionally brilliant. After being cleansed by the Origin of the Thunder Divine Dao and the Celestial Punishment, his Soul Talent seeped into his very Soul, as if he could now directly peer into the secrets of others’ Souls and the circulation paths of their Cultivation Techniques!

This was truly terrifying.

At this moment, Ye Tianling even had the supreme thought that he himself was a Celestial Dao Venerable, that he was the Thunder King.

The Invincible Will, originating from something like the Thunder Inference King, left him with a profound understanding.

Lost in thought, Ye Tianling casually threw a punch.

BOOM—

The Fist Intent was like a dragon.

An Unparalleled True Dragon!

The Ancient Dragon Soul instantly manifested.

With a Dragon Soul Roar, a single Azure Dragon Fist tore straight through the turbulent Thunder Tribulation Celestial River.

RIP—

The Void shattered. The entire space of the Hell Celestial Tribulation collapsed, and a vast area was instantly turned to dust.

BOOM—

All the prodigies fell from the Hell Celestial Tribulation’s space, landing on the dilapidated, nearly destroyed altar.

CRACK—

The altar exploded. White light flared, and a ripple of light swept across the sky. While Ji Yun and the other prodigies watched, dumbfounded, the entire group was teleported away.

BOOM—

The teleportation of the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave activated at this moment. Or rather, it had already been active, but the sheer power of the Hell Celestial Tribulation had locked down the surrounding space, nearly disabling it.

Now that the teleportation ability was active again, Ji Yun and the other prodigies were finally, truly teleported out.

Afterward, each prodigy was sent to a different region.

But they felt no regret or anxiety. Instead, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least they were still alive.

At least they had still made it into the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave.

And at least, they had finally put some distance between themselves and that monster, Ye Tianling.

’I hope that Ye Tianling isn’t in my region.’

’That Ye Tianling is just too terrifying! He forcibly withstood the Hell Celestial Tribulation with his physical body and ended up reforging it within the tribulation’s ultimate Celestial Punishment! A body like that... it must be comparable to an Ancestral Artifact, right?’

’Ye Tianling is now, without a doubt, the number one expert of the younger generation. No one else even comes close!’

’Even those Unparalleled Divine Sons, Goddesses, Young Venerables, and Young Lady Venerables who have the resources of two Worlds probably can’t compare to him!’

...

After some of the Cultivators left, these thoughts arose in their minds.

This was naturally followed by a wave of sighs and lamentations.
