Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Too Heaven-Defying, Intolerable to the Celestial Dao
Long Fengyang’s expression was sinister; he completely ignored Ye Yuemei’s words.
His mind was completely consumed by wicked thoughts.
He strode forward, raising a hand and reaching for Ye Yuemei.
"Stop—"
Yun Zhiruo, having regained some clarity, roared furiously, but it was to no avail.
"Stop? Ye Yuemei, why don’t you beg me? Kneel and beg, and maybe I’ll consider sparing you just this once. Or maybe I won’t. This is an opportunity for you; let’s see if you’re fortunate enough to seize it."
Ye Tianxi said with immense glee.
Yun Zhiruo was filled with immense regret. ’I should have been more on guard. I fell for Ye Tianxi’s trick and dragged my junior sister Mei’Er down with me.’
"Beg you? My heart is pure. Even if I cannot achieve the Transformation Dao right now, no matter what misfortune befalls me, when I finally do achieve it, I will still be pure."
Ye Yuemei was already resolved to undergo the Transformation Dao.
"Beg you? Beg a twisted Demon like you? A pathetic wretch who can no longer tell right from wrong? Your actions bring nothing but shame upon your grandfather, your parents, and your sister! They truly won’t be able to rest in peace!"
Yun Zhiruo’s words were far too vicious.
These words drove Ye Tianxi to the brink of madness.
"Absorb her! Absorb her until she’s dead!"
Ye Tianxi shrieked.
Long Fengyang’s gaze fell upon Yun Zhiruo. At the same time, he ripped at her clothes, intending to Absorb her right then and there.
"BOOM—"
Just then, the Void trembled violently. An incredibly terrifying Power of Rules crushed down, moving to forcefully imprison Long Fengyang.
At the same time, the Space Mirror manifested, suddenly shooting out a ray of Immortal Light.
"SWOOSH—"
The Immortal Light enveloped Ye Yuemei and Yun Zhiruo, gathering them up and whisking them aside.
Ye Yuemei and Yun Zhiruo appeared at Long Qianying’s side.
Beside Long Qianying, the figures of Long Yunfan, a withered old woman, Ye Fengyang, and Long Qingzhuo fully manifested.
"You—"
Long Fengyang was utterly shocked.
"Your death would be no loss!"
As the withered old woman spoke, she unleashed a powerful, crushing blow.
"SPLAT—"
Long Fengyang’s Divine Body exploded, turning into a pool of blood.
However, the blood flowed and quickly gathered together, once again forming a crimson figure.
Having entered the Holy Dao Realm and possessing a Demon Soul and a wicked will, Long Fengyang was incredibly difficult to kill.
"So he has fused with a Demon Soul, as expected."
The withered old woman spoke, then struck again, aiming a vicious blow at Ye Tianxi.
"PUFF—"
Ye Tianxi was cleaved in two and instantly pulverized into dust by the terrifying Power of Rules.
"BOOM—"
A ball of blood-red flame burst into existence.
Within the flames, Ye Tianxi’s figure instantly underwent Nirvana. Simultaneously, the flames swept up Long Fengyang, and the two fled into the distance!
"Trying to escape?"
Ye Fengyang deployed the Space Mirror, which suddenly shot out a blinding ray of divine light, piercing forward fiercely.
"BZZZZ—"
A terrifying phantom of a Demon Soul suddenly manifested. It roared wildly and spat a stream of black fire at the blinding divine light.
"BOOM—"
The Void in the Ancestral Dragon Abyss suddenly collapsed, tearing open a terrifying chasm.
A crimson light sped away; Long Fengyang and Ye Tianxi had escaped.
"They escaped after all."
Ye Fengyang sighed bitterly, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
His body was turning incorporeal, bit by bit, as if about to dissipate.
"Fengyang."
Long Qingzhuo called out softly and took a step forward.
"CLINK CLINK CLINK—"
A great number of crimson chains appeared at her feet.
On every chain, a terrifying fire from the Thunder Tribulation burned fiercely.
"Qingzhuo, I’m fine. Our son Tianling is in great danger this time. We have to find a way..."
Ye Fengyang sighed.
"There’s nothing to be done. We were a step too late. Grandmother, we must rely on you for what comes next."
Ye Fengyang bowed deeply to the withered old woman.
The withered old woman shook her head. "Don’t worry too much. Since he has the Life Chart of a Divine Child and was able to suppress Ye Cangqian, he is blessed with Qi Fortune... He should be able to withstand this tribulation of Celestial Dao Erasure. If he can’t... and he is erased... then none of us will remember him anyway. So it... won’t be a problem."
As the withered old woman spoke these words, her tone was filled with a deep sense of sorrow.
"No... Brother Tianling will be fine! He has to be!"
Hearing their conversation and thinking of Ye Tianxi’s plan to perform the Nirvana Sacrifice to Heaven, Ye Yuemei became incredibly worried.
"Senior... why didn’t... didn’t you kill Ye Tianxi completely..."
Yun Zhiruo found it hard to understand.
The withered old woman’s eyes looked weathered and hollow. "What Nirvana Sacrifice to Heaven... She herself is a product of the Celestial Dao’s self-correction, an entity blessed with its opportunities. She represents the Celestial Dao itself... This Ancestral Star has lain dormant for far too long. Back then, many astonishingly brilliant individuals repeatedly shielded the Celestial Secret, allowing acts of ’deceiving heaven’ to occur time and time again.
"As a result, many geniuses have roamed freely beyond the rules, like parasites gnawing away at the world’s will, its opportunities, and its Qi Fortune.
"Among them, Ye Tianling... has gone too far. Time and again he has acted with Heaven-defying Dao, finally triggering the most severe collapse of the rules in this world with its flawed Celestial Dao.
"I struck and killed Ye Tianxi utterly, but she revived in an instant. That is the best proof there is!
"The Celestial Dao Rules are merely using her hand to purge this world of its outlaws—even if we don’t see them as such."
Tears immediately filled Ye Yuemei’s beautiful eyes.
She hadn’t cried through all the pain and suffering she had just endured, but now, the thought of Ye Tianling’s plight brought her to tears in an instant.
"Then... then what can we do? Senior, you must... you must save him. I... I’m begging you."
Ye Yuemei dropped to her knees.
Though Yun Zhiruo said nothing, she too knelt.
"There is truly... nothing to be done. All I can do is protect you and the others he cares about, to keep you from being implicated and erased. Your suffering today wasn’t because Ye Tianxi was taking revenge on you, but simply because you walk alongside Ye Tianling.
"His defiance has reached a point heaven can no longer tolerate. This time, he can only rely on himself—he has to face this eventually!"
...
On Celestial Secret Mountain, a light-blue ripple bloomed from the Void, as beautiful as a blossoming lotus.
However, just as this beautiful lotus manifested, a swath of blood-red storm clouds gathered overhead.
The blood clouds pressed down, exuding an incomparably sinister and cold aura that made one shudder without cause.
Beneath the blood clouds, Wan Jimie, Que De, Wan Xuegui, Que Xinyan, Ancient Fairy, and the others all felt their breath catch as their expressions turned exceptionally grave.
"The method for shielding the Celestial Secret... has been exposed after all."
The Celestial Secret God Master looked at the blood clouds in the sky and sighed in resignation.
"Since it’s exposed, then just remove the effects of the Celestial Secret Soul Stone on me. Whatever I must face, I will bear it alone."
Ye Tianling’s expression was nonchalant and his words were casual, but his eyes held an unwavering resolve.
Having reached this point, Ye Tianling had, in truth, already seen through to many of the possible outcomes.
’It was a transaction I promised, and that transaction is now complete. Now it’s time to pay the price, so what is there to fear?’
