Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Ye Tianling is a Dual Divine Blood Divine Child?

The expression on the face of the man in the green Daoist robe flickered. He had already made his move and seized the Mutated Dao Fire, and after much effort, he had finally suppressed the Divine Sons and Divine Ladies eyeing it covetously. Yet now, the Kunpeng Divine Son was acting this aggressively?

Although he had heard that the Kunpeng Divine Son was incredibly arrogant, he had never seen it for himself. Now that he was suddenly facing it, he was absolutely livid.

"You—"

The man in the green Daoist robe took a deep breath, suppressing his fury. He then glanced around at the five remaining Divine Sons and Divine Ladies before finally speaking. "You’re very strong, but to expect me, Wu Yunxiao, to just willingly hand over the Dao Fire I fought for? That’s absolutely not going to be easy!"

Ye Tianling, however, appeared utterly unconcerned. He activated his Soul Mirror Talent and locked onto the Xuanwu Divine Son, Wu Yunxiao.

’This man is indeed no pushover. He’s a notch stronger than the Undying Divine Lady.’

However, Ye Tianling wasn’t afraid of a Divine Son who focused on Defense Power. His Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword specialized in shattering it.

"I’ve already said it: hand it over and live, or refuse and die! You think I wouldn’t dare cut you down just because you’re a Divine Son?!"

Ye Tianling took a step forward, and the Soul Qi around him began to surge.

At that moment, Wu Yunxiao felt his blood run cold. A terrifying sense of crisis erupted from deep within his bloodline.

"Wait! Kunpeng Divine Son, let’s talk this over! How about this: we have a duel, but not to the death. If I lose by even half a step, I’ll hand over the Dao Fire without complaint! If we fight a true life-or-death battle, you might be able to kill me, but I can absolutely make you pay a heavy price. When that happens, the other Divine Sons and Divine Ladies will just sit back and reap the spoils!"

Wu Yunxiao was inwardly stunned and couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath. That terrifying sense of crisis had forced him to compromise.

But even in compromise, he had his pride. He wanted to use this battle with Ye Tianling as an opportunity to hone his own Battle Power.

"Make your move."

Ye Tianling gave Wu Yunxiao a mild look, a flicker of appreciation sparking in his heart.

The man hadn’t truly backed down even now, but he also hadn’t shown any killing intent from the very beginning. Ye Tianling rather approved of his conduct.

Ye Tianling didn’t mind skipping a death match. As long as he achieved his objective, the process didn’t matter to him.

In this Thirty-Six Layers of Flame Purgatory, might made right. Seizing opportunities depended on one’s own ability. Such conflicts were perfectly normal.

"Very well. Then I, Wu Yunxiao, shall witness firsthand the abilities of you, Kunpeng Divine Son Ye Tianling!"

Wu Yunxiao took a deep breath, focusing his Battle Soul and manifesting the phantom of a Xuanwu Divine Turtle. The phantom merged with his Battle Soul, his own Realm of Sword Void Three Transformations, and his terrifying Breaking Seven Battle Power.

"Celestial Dao Cracks!"

With a sharp cry, a terrifying totem resembling the Eight Trigrams manifested. It looked as if it could shatter an entire World as it launched a ferocious assault on Ye Tianling.

This attack was truly extraordinary!

HUMMM—

A great wave surged through the void.

The waves were monstrous. After manifesting, the totem, resembling the Eight Trigrams, lunged like a Fierce Beast baring its fangs and claws, trying to take a vicious bite out of Ye Tianling.

Although its Battle Power was peerless, the attack contained no killing intent. At most, it could only cause a grievous injury, not kill.

Ye Tianling perceived the Profound Meaning of Wu Yunxiao’s Killing Dao—he was holding something back.

’These Divine Children are certainly brave and cunning,’ Ye Tianling mused. ’Regardless of whether they can win, they always hold something back, never using their full power! It gives them a chance to test my strength while also leaving themselves an escape route.’

Ye Tianling mused for a moment, then thrust out a hand, grabbing directly at the embodiment of Wu Yunxiao’s Killing Dao.

ROAR—

The Totem roared, lunging forward to devour Ye Tianling. However, when the deadly power of the Celestial Dao Cracks landed in his hand, Ye Tianling’s arm merely dipped slightly. And then... nothing.

A ring of light appeared in Ye Tianling’s hand. The ring swirled with an Energy like that of Taiji, forming something like a chaotic eye of Yin and Yang.

"Here, let me return the favor," Ye Tianling said lightly. "You’d better be ready to catch it."

His gaze swept casually over Wu Yunxiao, then across the five Divine Sons and Divine Ladies standing silently nearby.

As Ye Tianling’s gaze passed over them, the expressions of the five remaining Divine Sons and Divine Ladies shifted slightly, but they still didn’t retreat.

Ye Tianling was once again using the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique, the very same move he had used to overwhelm and kill Mo Yuxi. The only difference was that this time, he executed it with even greater ease and proficiency.

CHH CHH—

In his hand, the chaotic eye of Yin and Yang began to spin, looking as if it were about to erupt with a destructive ray of light.

"You—"

Wu Yunxiao felt a chill pervade his body and soul. An extreme sense of dread washed over him.

WHOOSH—

"Turtle Defends the World!"

He almost instantly took on the form of an Ancient Dragon Turtle, manifesting a colossal, totem-like shell to block Ye Tianling’s incoming attack.

At that same moment, Ye Tianling unleashed the deadly power contained within his chaotic eye of Yin and Yang.

"Turtle Breath Technique!"

Ye Tianling infused the Profound Meaning of the Turtle Breath Technique into the eye of Yin Yang Chaos, further concealing and compressing the Killing Dao within.

HUMMM—

The moment Ye Tianling unleashed this Cultivation Technique, the phantom of the Xuanwu Divine Turtle that Wu Yunxiao had manifested was made to look utterly feeble—because behind Ye Tianling, the colossal phantom of a Xuanwu Dragon Turtle had fully appeared.

The mountain-sized phantom of the Dragon Turtle stood in stark, glaring contrast to the Xuanwu Divine Son’s own turtle phantom.

"Is he the Kunpeng Divine Son or the Xuanwu Divine Son?"

"It really is a Xuanwu!"

"A Xuanwu Dragon Turtle!"

"A Divine Son with dual Divine Blood?"

"Damn it, no wonder he’s so unbelievable!"

"Terrifying!"

"He’s so strong... I say we just give up. We can forget about the Mutated Dao Fire here. A guy this arrogant and ruthless will never give us a chance to compete for it!"

"Opportunities are endless, why hang ourselves on this one spot?"

"The Kunpeng Divine Son really did manifest the Divine Blood Talent of an Ancient Dragon Turtle... Heh, now this is getting interesting!"

"Didn’t the Golden-winged Roc Lineage just produce that Golden Boy and Jade Girl, a pair with dual Divine Blood? Weren’t they trying to squeeze out this Kunpeng Divine Son? Heh, now we’ve got a good show to watch!"

"Heh, suppress him? With the Kunpeng Divine Son’s Talent, ability, and his Unrestrained and Indulgent, ferocious nature? Is that even possible? The Undying Divine Lady was almost beaten to death just now. Heh heh, they should take a good long look in the mirror and see what they’re really worth!"

"Let’s just hope the Elder Roc King doesn’t get confused and do something stupid!"

...

The surrounding discussions fell clearly on Ye Tianling’s ears.

However, Ye Tianling paid them no mind. His attention was drawn to several figures in the distance.

Ye Tianling recognized one person in the group at a glance: Ye Tianxi of the Ye Race. ’She’s already reached the Realm of Sword Void Three Transformations? And she brought two powerful experts with her?’

The man and woman with her clearly possessed a Divine Blood Talent, and their bloodline was precisely the one Ye Tianling wanted to collect: the Immortal Phoenix Peacock.

Elsewhere, another pair of Cultivators arrived. The powerful Mysterious Yin Power emanating from them allowed Ye Tianling to immediately recognize them as experts from the Profound Yin Race.

’Interesting,’ Ye Tianling sneered inwardly. ’Since you’ve all come, I might as well wipe you all out in one go. Time for a good slaughter!’
