Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Invincible Ye Tianling
"Quick—go, Ning’Er! Don’t worry about me!"
"I’m not leaving, Senior Brother! We were supposed to make our names known throughout the world together! How could I abandon you and save myself?!"
A young Male Cultivator roared, pushing aside a Female Cultivator in a green gauze dress.
He, however, was engulfed in a green light and instantly surrounded by a swarm of insects.
PFFT PFFT PFFT—
In the span of a single breath, a pile of white bones dropped from the young Male Cultivator’s body.
Then, those very bones were enveloped by another group of insects, and in an instant, even the skeleton was gone.
The numerous green insects swelled in size, then burst, each one multiplying into dozens more.
The dense green swarm seemed to blanket Heaven and Earth as it reproduced with mad abandon.
Just then, tears streamed down the face of the woman in the green gauze dress. She let out a mournful cry, "Senior Brother!"
Her voice was utterly grief-stricken. She began Burning her Essence Blood, wildly swinging the Longsword in her hand.
Each swing of her sword sliced more than ten insects into several pieces, but they would quickly revive—however many pieces they were cut into, that many new insects would emerge.
Consequently, after a flurry of frenzied slashes, the incredibly dense swarm quickly enveloped the young woman.
"AH—"
The young woman cried out in agony. Her gauze dress Disappeared, and just as her beautiful figure was revealed, her eyes turned ice-cold.
The green light in her eyes grew fiercer, then erupted completely.
Dozens of Cultivators caught in her gaze froze on the spot, then streams of green light pierced into their eyes.
They had originally been drawn to the beautiful body of the woman in the green gauze dress, and as a result, they all fell for the trap.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!—
SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!—
Soon, the bodies of numerous Cultivators burst open, and even more insects surged out.
Among these Cultivators were children as young as seven or eight with very low Realms, as well as extremely old men whose bloodlines had nearly run dry.
Not a single one survived for more than a hundred breaths before dying completely.
"Little Sister—quick, run! Activate the Array Disc and escape!"
"Big Brother, I won’t go! If we’re going, we go together!"
"Quick, go! There’s no time! I can’t hold them back! This is an unknown race—they can’t be killed, they can’t be exterminated! Quick! Go, the Array is about to break!"
The young brother and sister—the brother no older than nineteen, the sister only about seventeen—had both already reached the Sword Void Six Transformations Perfection Realm, making them first-class talents.
Unfortunately, even so, they were still powerless against the massive insect swarm.
Their killing techniques had almost no effect on these insects!
Even the insects they could pulverize with a single blow at the beginning could no longer be killed in one hit after evolving a few times.
And if they failed to kill an insect in one blow, cutting it into pieces would only cause it to revive as multiple new insects. At this rate, a catastrophe would inevitably erupt.
BZZZ—
Just then, a bloody light spread out, and a sea of Flame raged, incinerating everything in all directions.
HISSS—
Within the range of the Samadhi Celestial Fire, countless insects were instantly reduced to ash, dying so completely they didn’t even have the Ability to twitch.
"The... The Celestial Secret Divine Son..."
Upon seeing Ye Tianling, the brother and sister were both taken aback, and their feelings immediately became extremely complicated.
"You two should leave together. If you stay here, you will only make these insects stronger."
Ye Tianling said lightly, having directly saved the siblings.
"Celestial Secret Divine Son, for saving our lives, we will surely repay you with our own in the future!"
The young brother and sister bowed deeply in salute, then without hesitation, they instantly activated the Array Disc and departed.
This scene was but one of many instances of Ye Tianling rescuing Cultivators.
However, Ye Tianling did not save everyone. For those who fought to the death, resisting for the sake of friendship, family, or even love, Ye Tianling would often intervene.
But as for those who betrayed their friends at critical moments or used others as cannon fodder to save their own skin, not only would Ye Tianling not help, he would coldly watch as the insects slaughtered them.
Or, Ye Tianling would even strike himself, killing those who managed to escape by luck in a single blow.
With his Ability, this was not difficult to achieve.
Gradually, Ye Tianling became covered in a terrifying amount of blood—the blood of insects, the blood of Cultivators from various clans, but not a single drop of his own.
During this time, Ye Tianling continuously circulated the Devouring Law.
After the power of the Devouring Law devoured the Energy Origin of the insects, it transformed into wisps of a special, bizarre Energy that gradually suppressed the force of life decay within Ye Tianling.
Ye Tianling, who originally only had about two months left to live, had actually, through such Slaughter and Devouring, gradually extended his life to about three months.
This was an unexpected gain.
However, Ye Tianling was indifferent to this.
BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ—
A massive amount of green light converged. The insects finally gave up on the other Cultivators, flying toward Ye Tianling in a dense mass.
They were not without a will of their own.
Evidently, they knew that Ye Tianling was their greatest natural enemy.
"So you’ve all come?"
Ye Tianling’s gaze was frigid, an incomparably terrifying Slaughter Divine Light manifesting in his eyes.
BZZZ—
The countless green insects converged, forming a colossal green insect, a behemoth a full three hundred meters long.
The giant green insect’s pair of antennae were an astonishing seven hundred meters long, seeming to stretch into the depths of the sky.
This pair of antennae began to absorb the Power of Laws from Heaven and Earth, gathering a terrifying killing intent potent enough to shake one’s very soul.
This was clearly something no normal Cultivator could handle.
The giant insect looked down from on high, its eyes like great bronze bells staring at Ye Tianling with a sinister and terrifying gaze.
"Master, this... They can even perform an Integration!"
Ancient Fairy was also greatly shocked.
’This aura... it’s too terrifying.’
"Nothing to worry about."
Ye Tianling said lightly.
Then, he summoned the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword.
BZZZ—
Deep within Ye Tianling’s glabella, all thirty levels of Dragon Blood in the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower ignited.
The Samadhi Celestial Fire was fully activated, transforming the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword into a Longsword of concentrated Celestial Fire that instantly expanded to a thousand meters long and nearly a hundred meters wide.
"Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao!"
As a Sacred Artifact, combined with the Samadhi Celestial Fire and fueled by Ye Tianling’s Dragon Blood, just how terrifying was this killing strike?
Everyone felt as if they were blinded by that killing strike; they could only feel Heaven and Earth suddenly plunge into darkness.
PFFT—
Almost without any suspense, the Power of Slaughter shot forth, as if a great chasm had been carved into Heaven and Earth.
A storm of Destruction swept across all of Heaven and Earth. The sky and land grew dim, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
