Chapter 370: Chapter 370: If I Am Not Strong, How Can I Be Worthy of the Name Divine Child?

It was hard for Xia Xinyue to imagine how her opponent’s fist could contain such immense, heaven-defying explosive power. It was even more inconceivable that this young man, who was only about seventeen, could possess such outrageous Battle Power!

Xia Xinyue was also sent flying backward, retreating for nearly a thousand meters before she came to a stop. Her body, however, trembled uncontrollably.

In that single strike, she had used nearly eighty percent of her Battle Power, yet she was beaten to the point of near collapse!

’Where in the world did Yao Ling find him? He’s merely at the Early Stage of the Sword Spirit Second Heaven Realm, so how can he fight across Realms and beat me into such a sorry state?! After the world changed, have all the geniuses suddenly emerged at once?’

Xia Xinyue’s mind wandered for a moment, her feelings a tangled mess. The trace of arrogance she once possessed had dissipated considerably.

Lost in thought, she then fixed her gaze on Ye Tianling.

She assumed that Ye Tianling, having also been knocked back, must be in a similarly sorry state. After all, that strike was clearly his most powerful one.

But when she saw Ye Tianling, Xia Xinyue was left completely stunned.

At that moment, Ye Tianling stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His white robes billowed and his black hair whipped in the wind, exuding an air of cold, untamed indifference, and a casual, otherworldly grace.

It was as if that previous Absolute Kill strike was nothing more than a casual flick of his wrist.

In fact, he was making one thing clear—he hadn’t seized the opportunity to attack when she was stunned and wounded. Otherwise, she would have long been defeated.

"You... How can you be so strong!"

Xia Xinyue was shaken to the core, so much so that her voice trembled.

She was an extremely confident woman. With her icy temperament and calm composure, her heart had never been so stirred.

But now, before Ye Tianling, her very spirit had been dealt a massive blow. Her heart was in turmoil, and she found it difficult to control her expression.

"If I weren’t strong, how could I be worthy of the title of Divine Child?!"

Ye Tianling stared at Xia Xinyue, paying no mind to her shock.

He spoke nonchalantly, then immediately erupted with an even more ferocious and majestic Battle Intent.

Fifty percent Battle Power!

Ye Tianling was experimenting, using a more complex level of his Battle Power to test his own abilities.

From their previous exchange, Ye Tianling had discovered that Xia Xinyue had not yet fully unleashed her abilities.

Although he and Xia Xinyue were already locked in a fierce battle, the reality was that Ye Tianling was fighting more with his own boundless Battle Power and overwhelming willpower, forcing Xia Xinyue into an extremely passive state.

Therefore, Ye Tianling further increased his Battle Power, but he deliberately suppressed the overwhelming, majestic aura of his bloodline’s will that had been affecting Xia Xinyue.

He did this to completely draw out Xia Xinyue’s ultimate Battle Power as the First Princess of Yunxiao City, so he could understand just how strong the prodigies of this New World truly were.

At the same time, this was also the best way to hone his own Battle Power!

At this moment, the Reincarnation Life and Death Fist, unleashed with fifty percent of his Battle Power, appeared particularly terrifying.

Ye Tianling’s qi and blood erupted. His figure shot out like a lone crane as the phantom of his Celestial Dragon Sword Spirit manifested. A Dragon Soul roared at the heavens, its presence astonishing.

Then, endless Bloodline Power surged, swelling violently as if about to go berserk.

In that instant, Ye Tianling seemed to transform into a great mountain, flying straight into the Void. His entire body emanated terrifying waves of Sword Spirit aura.

This aura was like an impending tsunami, a breaking tidal wave, a crumbling mountain peak.

Wave after wave of this terrifying aura slammed into Xia Xinyue’s body and soul.

Xia Xinyue took a deep breath. Her Soul Qi surged like a vast ocean as she unleashed one hundred percent of her Battle Power.

This time, a terrifying purple qi emanated from Xia Xinyue’s Soul. As the sea of purple qi surged upward, vast and mighty, it completely enveloped her.

In the next moment, Xia Xinyue transformed into an incomparably beautiful, purple Immortal Phoenix.

The Immortal Phoenix continuously spewed purple qi, and in an instant, it created a second, identical image of itself.

It was as if, in that moment, Xia Xinyue had gone from being one person to two!

Ye Tianling’s pupils constricted, but he only became more ferocious, unleashing an Absolute Kill fist.

His Reincarnation Life and Death Fist, still at fifty percent Battle Power, erupted once more. Fusing the essence of his Celestial Dragon Sword Spirit and Samadhi True Fire with a supreme will to kill, Ye Tianling showed no weakness.

Meanwhile, Xia Xinyue, in her Immortal Phoenix form, was wreathed in purple qi. Her celestial posture was captivating, and her breathtakingly beautiful, multicolored feathers were a dazzling sight.

"Suppress!"

Xia Xinyue parted her lips, softly uttering a single, simple sound.

That sound rapidly wove itself into a melody, manifesting as ancient Ancient Runes and forming an intensely powerful, soul-shaking vibration.

It was as if a beautiful melody had materialized directly in Ye Tianling’s mind. His entire being shuddered, and the Fist Intent of his forceful attack was inexplicably severed!

Ye Tianling’s heart went cold, but before he could react, he was overcome by a powerful wave of vertigo.

The sensation was intense and overwhelming, battering Ye Tianling’s body and mind and leaving him utterly disoriented.

Ye Tianling was suddenly struck by a hallucination: he was back in the Blood-Colored Crescent Secret Realm, a blood-colored phantom wielding a giant axe to chop down a tree.

The moment the hallucination appeared, Ye Tianling’s Soul jolted, and his mind cleared considerably.

His heart was immediately filled with vigilance.

Ye Tianling’s Celestial Dragon Sword Spirit suddenly pulsed. With absolute willpower, he endured the strange turbulence assaulting his Soul, and in the very instant his Fist Intent was severed, he erupted with power once again.

He could no longer lock onto his target with the punch, but relying on terrifying combat instincts, Ye Tianling still struck out toward Xia Xinyue.

BOOM!

This one punch shattered the endless rain, tearing through the Void. Carrying an indescribable Supreme Will and the majestic aura of the Ancient Dragon Soul, it slammed directly into the Guqin hovering before Xia Xinyue.

DONG——

Xia Xinyue let out a muffled groan. Her Immortal Phoenix form shuddered, and due to the backlash from her own soul attack, her Soul began to tremble and destabilize.

Ye Tianling’s violent punch landed squarely on the Bright Moon Zither in her hands. After vibrating violently, it was sent flying from her grasp.

The Guqin let out a pained, ear-piercing shriek, as if it had suffered a grievous blow.

This time, Xia Xinyue was clearly on the back foot.

But Ye Tianling pressed his advantage. He executed the Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique, his qi and blood raging, and instantly threw a continuous barrage of Reincarnation Life and Death Fists.

Each punch carried the same power as the first. Each one crashed forward like a relentless, overlapping wave, its divine might seemingly invincible.

Xia Xinyue spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. Her Immortal Phoenix form began to circle in the Void. Then, forming hands out of her Soul Qi, she beckoned, and the Guqin flew back to her. Xia Xinyue began to play a beautiful, moving melody. Each note was immensely powerful, backed by an ocean of Soul Qi. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Endless Soul Qi converged, forming Soul Qi Swords. Driven by the melody, they looked as if they would slaughter their way across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

The melody spread with incredible speed, instantly blanketing the entire area.

Ye Tianling’s Fist Intent was endlessly battered by the melody. The residual power of each punch was completely neutralized, and to make matters worse, the music only grew stronger and stronger.
