Chapter 750: You’re Too Tyrannical

Chu Shaocheng didn’t know why, but at that moment, he suddenly shivered, an inexplicable chill running through his body.

It was as if, in the unseen world, something terrible was about to happen.

"You’re right, finding a powerful Dao Body is indeed necessary. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find another Demon Heart Sword Body."

"There should be one in the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave, but I don’t know where exactly. How about we split up to search? I’ll search this area. I’ll start by giving the Thousand Shadows Pool a thorough search."

Chu Shaocheng suggested.

"No need to search the Thousand Shadows Pool. I buried a friend there. Don’t disturb his eternal rest."

Ye Tianling said immediately.

Chu Shaocheng had a sudden realization. He understood now that Ye Tianling had been at the edge of the Cold Pool earlier to personally bury an old friend, which explained his previous sentimental mood.

Feeling a pang of sympathy, Chu Shaocheng knew that since Ye Tianling had said so, he naturally wouldn’t go near the Thousand Shadows Pool.

"Shaocheng, I’m leaving first. If anything comes up, I’ll send you a message with my Soul Mark. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to message me. I’ll do my best to help you solve it."

Ye Tianling said seriously.

"Okay, I will."

Chu Shaocheng replied with great sincerity.

...

The cold north wind howled, its mournful whistling carrying a biting chill.

Ye Tianling walked across the land, his figure casting a long, lonely shadow under the crescent moon.

Another hour passed.

Only four hours remained of the three-day assessment.

But Ye Tianling had traversed three regions without any luck.

He hadn’t encountered any Cultivators from outside War Dragon Academy. Of course, besides Chu Shaocheng, he had run into a few Disciples from War Dragon Academy.

However, the moment these Disciples saw him from afar, they acted as if they’d seen Yama himself, fleeing as far as they could. They were terrified that one wrong move would get them slain by Ye Tianling’s sword or blown apart by his fist.

They couldn’t afford to provoke Ye Tianling, nor could they defeat him.

If they didn’t want to die, their only option was to run.

Along the way, Ye Tianling continuously used the Celestial Observation Technique, operating his Inference Technique and performing all sorts of deductions.

Gradually, he grasped a familiar aura.

It was the power of the Hidden Dragon Shackles.

That power stretched deep into the earth, presenting a faintly pulsating aura.

But the aura was difficult to pin down.

Ye Tianling pushed his Soul Talent to its absolute limit, exhausting his mental energy to perform the Celestial Secret Technique countless times before he could finally glimpse a thread of causality.

And so, following this clue, Ye Tianling began his search.

Along the way, Ye Tianling periodically traversed the void, passed through ancient Arrays, crossed dark lakes, slipped through canyon crevices, endured chilling astral winds, and passed through layers of poisonous miasma.

Finally, he arrived at the edge of a great, purple-black mountain.

This purple-black mountain was very similar to the one where he had found Feng Chaoge’s body, possessing the same terrifying aura.

The mountain stood like a short sword piercing the heavens and splitting the earth, exuding an immense, sky-piercing might.

Nine ridges lay across the mountainside, like the peerless Law of the Nine Dragon Venerable etched into the purple-black rock. The sight was magnificent and utterly breathtaking.

The Dao rhythm of myriad ages converged with the Heaven and Earth Supreme Dao, forming layers of purple-black clouds and mist that swirled in every direction, shrouding the area. It made the mountain appear hazy, at times real and at others illusory.

Wisps of desolation from a distant ancient era rippled outward, while a sense of the Primordial Era’s vastness and vicissitudes periodically emerged.

An aura of eternal sorrow and solitary loneliness formed desolate tableaus, threatening to pull one into a downward spiral of decadence from which there was no escape.

’This place... it does have the ancient aura of a Demon Heart, but can a complete Demon Heart Sword Body truly exist here?’

’Relying on the Thunder Inference King is ultimately an illusion. As Chu Shaocheng said, if I had an Unparalleled Demon Heart Sword Body, I could go anywhere I pleased in this vast world.’

Ye Tianling murmured to himself, then stepped into the purple-black mountain range.

However, just as he entered the foothills, Ye Tianling saw someone: a woman with her hands behind her back. Her expression was indifferent, her features cool yet breathtakingly beautiful.

The woman wore a white gauze dress, its fabric intricately engraved with lotus flowers made of Dao Patterns. Her aura was profound and ancient.

Moreover, her Realm had reached the Sword Tribulation Fifth Refinings Great Perfection Realm. Her eyes were exceptionally deep, and her power far surpassed what it had been the last time Ye Tianling saw her.

"You cannot enter this place. Leave. You are not in a ranked region, nor do you have a record in the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave. Therefore, I will not make things difficult for you."

The woman spoke, her voice exceedingly pleasant to the ear, yet tinged with an unmistakable indifference.

"Qianyu, I have no desire to make things difficult for you either. There is something on this mountain that I need."

Ye Tianling replied, not backing down.

This woman was indeed Qianyu. After entering the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave, she, like Chu Shaocheng, had further integrated the resources of two Worlds, reaching her limit. Her strength had also been pushed to its peak.

Having seized her opportunity, the current Qianyu’s Battle Power had not only increased further, but her Realm was also now three full Realms higher than Ye Tianling’s!

A three-Realm gap made Ye Tianling understand that their Battle Power was now more or less equal.

Therefore, this was a fight Ye Tianling did not want to have.

But he wouldn’t back down either.

"This is Purgatory Purple Mountain. Purgatory Purple Mountain comes from the legacy of the Asura Emperor Soul Clan! The only things on it are the corpses of dead Asura Race members, not what you’re looking for. Right now, the Law Supreme Dao of this entire area is under my comprehension. This is my opportunity, so your presence here is an offense in itself. Letting you leave is already giving you immense face."

Qianyu’s tone grew even colder.

"Apologies, but the Asura Emperor Soul Clan and I do go way back. An old friend of mine was a member of the Asura Race, and the Asura Soul-Slaying Killing Dao I specialize in was founded upon the Asura Race’s Absolute Kill Cultivation Technique, the Asura Martial Emperor Technique."

Ye Tianling spoke again, refusing to yield.

Qianyu’s elegant brows furrowed, and her expression turned decidedly icy.

Her expression was frigid as she said, "Ye Tianling, I admit you are strong, but is there any point in saying such things? My unwillingness to make things difficult for you doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you now! We both underwent the Nine Forbidden Great Perfection Transformation. My Realm is three levels higher than yours. Even if your Battle Power is at the level of Breaking Ten, you still can’t do anything to me! If you know what’s good for you, get lost!"

Ye Tianling’s expression turned just as icy. "It seems you didn’t get beaten hard enough last time! Today, I’ll teach you a lesson again!"

As Ye Tianling spoke, he extended a hand, and the Baiyu Demon God Radiant Bow materialized.

Qianyu made no move. "I admit, I misjudged you before. That was indeed my, Qianyu’s, mistake. But this time, this place is where I am undergoing Establishment Dao and Enlightenment Dao, comprehending the Law. Your forceful intrusion has already interfered with my Enlightenment Dao, and now you want to resort to violence? Ye Tianling, aren’t you being too tyrannical!"
