Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Chapter 438: The 18th Layer of the Ancestral Dragon Abyss

After suppressing Die Xin and Li Rushan, Ye Tianling’s strength had returned to its original level. Dealing with Qianyue now would be somewhat more difficult.

The reason he hadn’t moved against Qianyue was that, in truth, his Soul Talent had allowed him to determine her origin—the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.

The Nine-tailed Foxes were also part of the Jade Fox Race.

The Jade Fox Race was the clan of his disciple, Ancient Fairy.

This Qianyue was likely an older clanswoman of Ancient Fairy’s, and her real name was ’Gu Qianyue.’ However, she had never mentioned her surname or displayed her innate Charm Talent, which was why her bloodline’s origin had remained a secret until now.

But under the scrutiny of Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent, how could she possibly hide her origins?

Still, Ye Tianling didn’t press the matter further.

If the Celestial Secret God Master truly appeared, the situation would change entirely.

Ye Tianling pondered for a moment, letting his Battle Power settle. After carefully reflecting on his recent series of battles, he flew toward the Flame Celestial Ladder and descended into the dark abyssal region.

...

「Deep within the Ancestral Dragon Abyss.」

After a period of Meditation and consolidation, Ye Yuemei’s Realm of Sword Void Three Transformations finally broke through to the Late Stage.

Her Battle Power had also finally reached the level of Breaking Eight.

She opened her eyes, which shone with extreme excitement.

This wasn’t because of her transformation in Battle Power, but because she had finally passed the *Chaos Destiny Scripture* to Ye Tianling!

’With the *Chaos Destiny Scripture*, he can achieve Celestial Harmony Dao at any moment. With Brother Tianling’s Ability, he’ll definitely be able to rise quickly! I can finally do something to help Brother Tianling!’

’The Heaven-Reaching Tower... Brother Tianling is in the Heaven-Reaching Tower... Unfortunately, the Ancestral Dragon Abyss and the Heaven-Reaching Tower are two completely different places.’

Ye Yuemei sighed and then stood up.

She recalled the path Long Fengyang had taken earlier and finally determined her direction forward.

The eighteenth level of the Ancestral Dragon Abyss was a land of blood-red glacial rivers.

Blood.

Flame.

Ice.

Shattered bones.

This was a land of chaotic Laws.

It was like a doomsday World on the verge of Destruction. Chaotic killing intent, baleful auras, and other brutal forces ran rampant, while all kinds of sinister, negative energies ravaged the land.

The ground was covered in blood.

And all this blood came from Demon Souls.

This blood carried sin and vile mental assaults. A single moment of carelessness could lead to a mental attack, causing one to lose control of their mind and be invaded by a Demon Soul.

Yet, Ye Yuemei walked here with great ease.

She was like a small boat in a raging storm, looking as if she could sink at any moment.

But she kept moving forward without a hint of hesitation or delay.

"Mei’Er, stay here. Brother Tianling misses you so much."

Suddenly, a very familiar voice sounded from behind Ye Yuemei.

It was Ye Tianling’s voice.

But Ye Yuemei didn’t turn back.

Because she knew that wasn’t her Brother Tianling.

It was just an Illusion Realm, an assault from a Demon Heart.

Scenes like this were happening constantly.

In fact, each time was even more realistic than the last.

"Mei’Er, the Ancestral Dragon Abyss is dangerous. Don’t linger here. Leave quickly."

After walking alone for nearly three days, Ye Yuemei was growing tired.

And at that moment, an even more familiar and warmer voice resounded in her heart.

’Brother Tianling?’

Ye Yuemei’s heart trembled. She was somewhat affected.

This place was already deep within the eighteenth level of the Ancestral Dragon Abyss.

Not far ahead stood a blood-red Ancient City.

The Ancient City was surrounded by desiccated corpses, all frozen in the postures they held in life.

Some were walking, some were flying through the air, some were laughing and chatting, and others were hawking precious Weapons at stalls.

But it was as if a gust of Time had blown past, drying up all their Essence, Qi, and Soul, turning them into petrified, mummy-like statues that stood there silently.

Time and Space themselves seemed to have frozen.

Just then, as Ye Yuemei responded to the call in her heart, her vitality began to drain away without her noticing.

"Mei’Er, it’s me. I’m using a Soul transmission technique to contact you. Didn’t you pass the *Chaos Destiny Scripture* to me? That’s how I can use this Cultivation Technique to communicate with you mind-to-mind."

Ye Tianling’s voice grew softer, but it now contained a trace of demonic charm and strangeness.

"Brother Tianling, where are you now? Are you okay?"

Unwittingly, her longing for Ye Tianling had triggered an invasion by the Heart Demon of this place. She was now under its influence, but completely unaware of it.

"I’m fine. I’ve already left the Heaven-Reaching Tower and am on my way to the Celestial Secret Divine Land. Once I get there, I’ll have the Celestial Secret God Master open the ancient Celestial Road of the Divine Land, and then I can enter the Ancestral Dragon Abyss to find you.

This place is too dangerous, so don’t go any further. Find somewhere safer and wait for me to come get you. I’ll be there soon."

Ye Tianling’s voice became even more gentle.

The boundless affection in his voice left Ye Yuemei somewhat dazed.

"No, you’re not Brother Tianling."

But in that instant, Ye Yuemei’s gaze suddenly became incomparably clear. She immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"How could I not be your Brother Tianling? Is there anything in this World that can impersonate me?"

The voice of ’Ye Tianling’ became even more filled with Charm.

"Brother Tianling would never tell me to retreat. He would only tell me, ’Mei’Er, if you believe you can do it, then you absolutely can.’ But you are telling me to retreat!"

As Ye Yuemei spoke, her gaze grew more focused. The blood-colored Energy that had begun to drain her Essence, Qi, and Soul instantly shuddered, then shattered. It transformed into wisps of blood-colored Energy that gradually merged into Ye Yuemei’s Soul.

Ye Yuemei’s eyes began to turn blood-red, but they soon became clear again.

HUM—

At that moment, Ye Yuemei’s Soul became purer, and her will grew stronger.

At the same time, her Realm jumped directly from the Late Stage of Sword Void Three Transformations to the Sword Void Three Transformations Perfection Realm.

Perfection Realm of Sword Void Three Transformations, a Battle Power of Breaking Eight—this level of Ability was already comparable to that of any Goddess.

However, Ye Yuemei never considered herself powerful. It wasn’t a lack of confidence; rather, in her eyes, she was still far from strong enough!

She remembered how her Brother Tianling was able to slaughter his way through the Cyan Dragon Race when he was only at the Sword Soul Realm. With a past like that, her own Battle Power at the Sword Void Three Transformation Realm still had plenty of room for improvement!

Ye Yuemei didn’t have exceptional Talent, but this was what she had always believed.

A young woman who aimed for a Battle Power of Breaking Thirty, or even Breaking One Hundred, completely disregarded rules like the Nine Forbidden Battle Technique or realm barriers. She had never considered these things to be insurmountable restrictions.

In this World, as far as she was concerned, nothing was insurmountable. The only reality was that her own Ability was not yet enough.
