Chapter 454: Suppression, Soul Slash
Neither Yao Qiye nor Nine Demon Beauties posed a fatal threat on their own.
If they joined forces, Ye Tianling was still eighty percent confident he could win. However, he couldn’t afford to go all out, as he had to be ready for Bai Changyi’s sudden burst of killing intent!
Once Bai Changyi finished constructing the Soul Dao Battlefield, Ye Tianling knew he would be at a distinct disadvantage—even if he didn’t fully understand what a Soul Dao Battlefield entailed!
The next moment, Ye Tianling’s eyes grew even more bloodshot.
He had to suppress Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties first, just as he had done with Bai Changsong.
BOOM—
Ye Tianling landed a punch on Yao Qiye.
Golden light burst from Yao Qiye’s body once more. His physique became exceptionally tough; the strength of his flesh was in no way inferior to that of the Sword Venerate Dominating Body!
Once activated by the golden Kunpeng Divine Blood, his body’s Defense Power was astonishingly high.
Ye Tianling couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath. He finally realized that Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties weren’t called the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" for nothing.
He knew better than anyone how powerful his fists were, yet this punch had failed to do any real damage!
"This move again?"
A ferocious and cruel light glinted in Yao Qiye’s eyes.
But no sooner had the defiant words left his lips than a trickle of golden Kunpeng Divine Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Although he had blocked Ye Tianling’s punch, he had clearly still been injured.
SWOOSH—
Nine Demon Beauties vanished again. When she reappeared, her jet-black Long Spear was already thrusting forward.
The angle of her attack was exceptionally cunning.
That strike was too fast.
Ye Tianling could have dodged it, but doing so would have left him wide open.
But at that moment, Ye Tianling didn’t try to dodge. Instead, he simply twisted his body, allowing the spear to lunge at him!
This evasive maneuver seemed to be exactly what Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties had anticipated.
SWOOSH—
Soul-Binding Rope!
At that moment, Yao Qiye suddenly brought out the Soul-Binding Rope, a Soul Dao Weapon!
The instant the weapon shot out, it bound Ye Tianling tightly. Just like the Hidden Dragon Shackles before, it completely restrained him.
Ye Tianling’s twisting body was wrenched back around to face them directly.
At the same time, the jet-black Long Spear stabbed directly toward the center of Ye Tianling’s forehead.
With a single strike, they intended to pierce the center of his forehead, shatter the Soul Pool deep within, and destroy Ye Tianling’s Battle Soul!
Failing that, they would at least shatter his defensive trump cards and force out his Soul, leaving it for Bai Changyi to slay and perform Refinement on its Origin!
This was their plan.
However, what they didn’t know was that Soul Dao Weapons were the very thing Ye Tianling feared the least.
Soul-Binding Rope?
’In this world, what weapon would dare try to imprison me, Ye Tianling?’
Ye Tianling didn’t defend himself, allowing the strike to pierce the center of his forehead. To him, that spot wasn’t his most fatal weakness—it was his safest point!
’With the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower and the Mechanical Heart from the Divine Hall of Destiny, how many people in this world could possibly break through the defenses at the center of my forehead?’
Just as he predicted, the instant the jet-black Long Spear pierced the center of his forehead, he felt the terrifying agony of his Soul being ripped apart.
But in that same instant, his Demon Heart grew even more frenzied.
A terrifying Light of Destruction erupted from the point where his forehead was pierced.
The Light of Destruction shot out at an incredible speed.
Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties were completely unprepared for this.
By the time the Light of Destruction fell upon them, it had suddenly transformed into blood-red Flame.
As the Flame appeared, Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties were horrified to discover they were suddenly immobilized.
"Engulf!"
Ye Tianling activated the terrifying Devouring Power of the Blood Secret Realm. Instantly consuming thirty percent of his own Origin Energy, he swept both Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties into the Blood Secret Realm!
The Blood Secret Realm was an inescapable trap, a true Blood Domain Prison!
Once inside, they could never escape unless Ye Tianling chose to release them.
Ye Tianling was perfectly aware of the many changes happening within it!
He even knew some of the thoughts of Mu Yuxi, Die Xin, Bai Changsong, Xi Junchang, and Li Rushan, who were also trapped inside.
That was why he was willing to sacrifice thirty percent of his Soul Origin to get Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties inside first!
Once they were inside, he would torture them to death. Nothing less could quell the hatred in his heart!
HUMMM—
As the terrifying, blood-colored spatial Energy recoiled, Bai Changyi finally made his move.
He actually could have acted earlier, but he didn’t!
Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties both saw this. The moment they were suppressed, looks of resentment and hatred filled their eyes.
BOOM—
The pair was swept into the Blood Secret Realm, but the Soul-Binding Rope was still coiled around Ye Tianling.
SIZZLE—
Samadhi True Fire and Karmic Fire enveloped the Soul-Binding Rope and the jet-black Long Spear. Ye Tianling immediately ignited his Dragon Blood in a Blood Sacrifice to the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, letting it directly devour the two Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
At that moment, Bai Changyi’s Soul Battle Battlefield finally manifested.
A vast Snowfield suddenly descended upon the area.
HUMMM—
Ye Tianling found himself completely unable to move. Just as he had trapped Bai Changsong and the others, Bai Changyi had now used a similar technique on him!
’The Blood Secret Realm is a Secret Realm for Soul Battles, and it’s mine alone! I don’t need to construct a Soul Realm Battlefield!’
The realization struck Ye Tianling in an instant.
But as soon as the thought occurred to him, Ye Tianling’s Soul was forcibly ejected from his body.
SIZZLE—
His Void Soul solidified, appearing within the vast Long White Snowfield.
Snow danced across the land, blanketing the world in silver.
As Ye Tianling’s Soul appeared, so did Bai Changyi.
Here, however, he was like a Creator, a Celestial Dao Law Enforcer!
Because this was the Soul Realm Battlefield he had constructed.
Ye Tianling was immediately crushed by the pressure of the Celestial Dao.
"Soul Slash!"
Bai Changyi’s voice was glacial. His single word boomed like thunder from the highest heavens, striking directly at Ye Tianling’s Soul.
Ye Tianling felt the cold touch of death. In a Soul Dao Space created by his enemy, the enemy was the Creator. ’How can I possibly win?’
’Mechanical Heart, what do I do?!’
In that moment, Ye Tianling forced himself to calm down. Though his Soul was in a frenzied state, he instinctively consulted the Mechanical Heart.
He had not relied on the Mechanical Heart for a long time.
"Perform a Soul Slash on yourself, enter Meditation on the Chaos Destiny Scripture, and self-detonate your Soul. This is the only solution! Otherwise, you will be devoured piece by piece!"
The Mechanical Heart’s response was, as always, robotic.
Ye Tianling’s mind grew even calmer.
The Mechanical Heart followed up with a more detailed message: "This is a Battle Soul Space, an independent Space inherited from some kind of Saint Level Soul Artifact that has been compressed to its absolute limit. If you self-detonate within it, you will be damaged but you will not die! This is because you can recover even if you lose one of your Three Souls. You possess the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, and you are a true Inheritor of the Huaxia Divine Blood.
Your Soul’s self-detonation will cause this space to instantly expand. The combination of extreme compression followed by sudden expansion will cause him to suffer a devastating blow!"
The probability of error in the Mechanical Heart’s calculations was virtually zero.
In fact, Ye Tianling had already reached the same conclusion just as the Mechanical Heart was responding.
At that moment, the crushing pressure of the Heavenly Dao Laws had already injured Ye Tianling’s Soul.
If not for the terrifying depth of his Soul’s foundation, that single blow would have been enough to destroy one of his souls.
"Your Soul is quite strong, but this is as far as you go! After I kill you, seize your inheritance, and open your Inheritance Secret Realm, I can rescue them. They will even be grateful to me for it."
Bai Changyi said nonchalantly.
But even now, though his Soul was bleeding, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked thoroughly battered, a vicious, contemptuous sneer spread across Ye Tianling’s face.
