Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Too Overbearing
In the next instant, Heaven and Earth returned to normal.
One of the Celestial Wing Soul Master’s Battle Souls was instantly slain, reduced to nothing but ash.
As for the Celestial Secret God Master, his hand only trembled slightly. Above his palm, the Donghuang Bell hovered quietly.
Only Ye Tianling, with his Soul Talent, noticed this slight tremor. No one else was aware of it!
Everyone present was completely stunned!
A seemingly casual strike from the Celestial Secret God Master possessed such terrifying Battle Power. It was clearly enough to shock the world and shake the Ten Thousand Races!
With one of his souls slain, the Celestial Wing Soul Master’s power in the Sword Ancestor Realm had clearly fallen by a great deal.
His face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with boundless dread. Clearly, he had never imagined the Celestial Secret God Master would be this powerful!
With a single strike, he had actually slain his Undying and Immortal soul!
"Who else wants to fight? I’ve said it already: you can all come at me at once! But I was holding back before. If I have to act again, I don’t mind slaughtering everyone here! I, Zhuge Wuxu, came bearing a Sacred Artifact. I can come and go as I please. I could have taken the Celestial Secret Divine Son away directly, but I didn’t. That is my sincerity."
The Celestial Secret God Master’s trembling hand steadied.
Many of the Soul Masters present had complex expressions. Ultimately, the tense, hostile atmosphere began to shift.
The various Soul Masters reined in their murderous auras and forcibly suppressed their indignation.
"Celestial Secret God Master, since you speak of sincerity... My Ten Thousand Dao Soul Clan has a peerless Soul Child named Xi Junchang. He is a disciple we have been secretly cultivating, one destined to become a Divine Child, perhaps even a Young Venerable Level existence. Ye Tianling captured him. Have him hand Xi Junchang over. I can overlook everything else, but that disciple must be returned unharmed!" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The Soul Master of the Ten Thousand Dao Soul Clan spoke up.
"The situation is much the same for my Cang Mountain Soul Clan’s Divine Son Li Rushan."
"Do you even know what this Ye Tianling has done? It’s one thing that he killed Xia Qiuhe and Xia Fansong of my Great Xia Royal Family, but he violated and then murdered Xia Fanqian! For such crimes, anything less than death would be an injustice!"
The Great Xia Emperor stepped out of the distant void, arriving at Kunpeng Celestial Mountain.
"Celestial Secret God Master, on the Thirty-Sixth Layer of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, this Ye Tianling committed numerous crimes! He slew many a Prince and Princess!"
"Celestial Secret God Master, Ye Tianling critically wounded Lin Tianyan, damaging his very foundation! He has broken a major taboo among Divine Children!"
"Ye Tianling seized all the opportunities on the Thirty-Sixth Layer of the Heaven-Reaching Tower for himself, leaving nothing for anyone else. He is far too domineering!"
...
Even though the Celestial Secret God Master had displayed an air of invincibility, as more and more Clan Leaders and Daoist Ancestors appeared, many of the powerful experts still radiated boundless killing intent.
Their eyes glittered as they stared at Ye Tianling, as if to prevent him from being taken away.
"What nerve! If your own races’ Divine Children had accomplished what he has, would any of you choose to compromise now?"
Zhuge Wuxu’s expression was cold as he shot back.
An immensely powerful Celestial Secret Law Power manifested in his eyes. Wherever his gaze swept, not a single Daoist Ancestor, Soul Master, or Emperor dared to meet his eyes.
The man was simply too powerful.
Wielders of special Laws often possessed Battle Power beyond imagination. They were not existences one would carelessly offend—especially not after Zhuge Wuxu had nearly killed Bai Yimei of the Celestial Wing Soul Clan in a single move.
A One Path Sword Ancestor at the Late Stage of Perfection Realm, and a Great Power of the Soul Race at that, had been taken out in a single blow!
Such Battle Power was simply too terrifying. No one dared to be the first to challenge him again.
Zhuge Wuxu’s rhetorical question plunged the scene into a heavy silence.
"Celestial Secret God Master, are you planning to simply let this matter go?"
At that moment, the Demon Lord of the Golden Night Demon Race, who had arrived much earlier but had remained silent until now, finally spoke.
She was an incomparably beautiful and alluring woman who looked quite young, but her demonic eyes held an unfathomable depth and were filled with Dao Marks.
Her eyes seemed to contain Netherworld Power, inspiring a profound sense of dread in all who met her gaze.
Ye Tianling glanced at her and was nearly drawn in by her eyes. A chill shot through him. ’Every single person here today is a powerhouse capable of shaking the heavens and the earth!’
’These are the strongest experts in the entire New World at present.’
’And today, all of them have come to Kunpeng Celestial Mountain. If Zhuge Wuxu, the Celestial Secret God Master, hadn’t intervened, I can only imagine how terrible my fate would have been.’
’Even with my incomplete Demon Heart Sword Body and a certain degree of Battle Power, I couldn’t possibly create a miracle against so many Sword Ancestor Level experts.’
’Perhaps I could still escape in the end by relying on the Celestial Sacrifice Ancient City, but I would have to pay an extremely steep price for it.’
"And for what reason have you come?"
Zhuge Wuxu’s pupils contracted slightly as he met the gaze of the Golden Night Demon Race’s Demon Lord.
"This Ye Tianling captured the First Princess of my Golden Night Demon Race—my daughter, Mu Yuxi—and... defiled her! You must answer to me for this! Zhuge Wuxu, hand over Ye Tianling. Let me take him back to the Golden Night Demon Race. With his Soul Source, I can heal my daughter and restore her Demon Heart Talent. Only then can I forgive his transgressions."
The Demon Lord of the Night Demon Clan spoke with a cold tone.
It was a humiliating affair, but she spoke of it anyway.
After all, something like this was impossible to conceal.
As the woman spoke, she looked at Ye Tianling, her eyes flashing with incredibly cold, demonic Dao Marks, as if trying to completely ensnare him and make him surrender willingly.
Ye Tianling circulated his qi and blood, instantly breaking free of her pull. This brought a flicker of surprise to the eyes of the Demon Lord of the Demon Race.
Ye Tianling shot her a contemptuous glance and said, "I was on my way to the Hell Abyss when I encountered four Soul Masters: Li Rushan, Die Xin, Bai Changxi, and Qianyue. Before I even got close, they blocked my path for no reason. Every other word out of their mouths was ’lowly spawn of the Human Race’ or ’worthless slave.’ I told them not to be fools and gave them a chance to back off, but unfortunately, they wouldn’t listen.
"In the life-or-death battle that followed, they tried to kill me. Unfortunately for them, their skills were inferior, and I captured them instead. I obliterated that Bai Changxi with one sword strike, and that’s when I captured Li Rushan and Die Xin.
"Qianyue was the only one who didn’t get involved, so she remained unharmed.
"Later, after entering the Hell Abyss, I came across Mu Yuxi. She had been trapped and imprisoned, the victim of a plot by Xi Junchang, along with Yao Qiye and the Nine Demon Beauties.
"Xi Junchang planned to use Mu Yuxi for Absorption after he seized the Hell Red Lotus Fire.
"I happened to be passing by at that moment. The Hell Red Lotus Fire began to stir, and Xi Junchang went to investigate."
