Chapter 726: Fighting Divine Son Ji Yun

BOOM—

This strike was a convergence of endless Divine Power, its Laws as vast as the sea—a single blow capable of shattering the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

CRACKLE—

The terrifying power instantly shattered the light of the Dao on the altar.

Ye Tianyun’s and Liu Xu’er’s transformations were also affected. Soon, the Origin Power stopped flowing out.

The altar’s rotation was interrupted, and it slowly ground to a halt.

The world grew even more barren and cold, the atmosphere more bleak and desolate.

This strike from Ji Yun was absolutely shocking. His Battle Power was comparable to the frenzied killing intent unleashed by an Unparalleled Daoist Ancestor—utterly terrifying!

If Ji Yun had unleashed such power in the outside world, it would have been impossible for Feng Cailuo to have suppressed him before.

Compared to the Ji Yun of back then, the current Ji Yun was more than ten thousand times stronger!

Ye Tianling knew they had all been holding back then, not having fully integrated the resources from the two worlds.

Now, everything had transformed. They were undergoing Tribulation here at the Great Perfection level, and without needing a Celestial Tribulation to Descend, their Cultivation speed was simply astonishing.

’Hmm? The number of their Dao Rhyme Fragments has decreased? Is that mysterious power coming from the Dao Rhyme Fragments?’

Suddenly, Ye Tianling’s Mechanical Heart transmitted a strange piece of information. It showed that the number of Dao Rhyme Fragments carried by Ji Yun and the other top-ten prodigies had all simultaneously decreased by about ten thousand. Among them, Qianyu’s Dao Rhyme Fragments had decreased the most, by a full fifteen thousand!

And Qianyu’s rank had also dropped from second place to third!

Second place was now occupied by Chu Shaocheng, who was the only prodigy whose Dao Rhyme Fragment count hadn’t decreased.

Ye Tianling had no time to think. Ji Yun unleashed his Demon-Slaying God-Killing Technique, and after manifesting his Battle Soul, his power was like a destructive storm, incomparably tyrannical and domineering.

This attack seemed to pierce through everything, pulverizing all obstacles in its path as if it were invincible.

This situation was almost identical to when Ye Tianling had previously executed the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao and manifested the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword.

"Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao!"

"Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique!"

"Netherworld Life and Death Path!"

"Azure Celestial Dominator Blood, Dragon Soul Divine Blood!"

In that instant, Ye Tianling once again unleashed the terrifying Killing Dao that had broken the Nine Forbidden and achieved a Battle Power of Breaking Ten.

With the unparalleled sharpness of the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, Ye Tianling slashed out once more, meeting Ji Yun’s attack head-on.

BOOM—

The collision of these two attacks produced a world-shaking explosion.

Amidst the terrifying shockwave, Ji Yun was surprisingly not sent flying. Instead, he charged forward and unleashed another Demon-Slaying God-Killing Technique.

Ye Tianling’s entire body trembled, slightly staggered by the impact.

It was then that Ye Tianling realized that Ji Yun had, at some unknown point, advanced from the Sword Tribulation Second Refining Realm to the Sword Tribulation Third Refining Realm, and had even reached the level of Great Perfection!

This was too terrifying!

His Realm transformation had seemingly occurred without any change in his aura!

’Could it be that these people are consuming and refining Dao Rhyme Fragments to advance their Realms? Dao Rhyme Fragments... they contain an incredibly mysterious Energy and a terrifyingly potent Dao rhyme aura... If this Energy is used for a Realm transformation, can it substitute for Celestial Tribulation Power and induce the effects of an unparalleled Celestial Tribulation?

’Collecting Dao Rhyme Fragments and turning them in gets you Seed Fragment rewards... The Dao Rhyme Fragments are clearly more precious than the Seed Fragments!’

’What are Seed Fragments? They are resources from the two worlds, the key to transforming one’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits. Their importance is self-evident!’

’Dao Rhyme Fragments... they’re truly incredible things!’

Ye Tianling’s thoughts raced. In an instant, he understood that the Dao Rhyme Fragments were the most precious resource in this entire land.

And this was something that people like Ji Yun obviously already knew.

But no one present had mentioned a single word about it.

Ye Tianling was shaken, his expression changing.

If that was the case, then if Ji Yun, who was carrying over two hundred thousand Dao Rhyme Fragments, absorbed them all, what kind of Realm could he reach?

The Sword Tribulation Sixth Refining? The Eighth Refining? The Ninth Refining?

Ye Tianling didn’t know, but he was very clear that if Ji Yun continued to transform like this...

Without a doubt, he would face an extremely difficult fight.

Both at Great Perfection, both with resources from two worlds, both with Nine Forbidden Battle Power, and both possessing an Unparalleled Divine Body.

The gap in Battle Power wasn’t actually that startling. But if Ji Yun’s Realm was two or more levels higher, even with Ye Tianling’s Battle Power having broken the Nine Forbidden, he would still be incredibly difficult to deal with.

That in itself wasn’t the most terrifying part. What was terrifying was that, aside from Ji Yun, Ye Tianling noticed that the Dao Rhyme Fragments on all these prodigies were continuously decreasing.

In other words, without his knowledge, the Realms of these prodigies were constantly transforming and rising, all at the Great Perfection level!

Ye Tianling understood the truth, and his heart grew cold. However, he did not retreat. Instead, he burned his Dragon Soul Divine Blood, unleashing forty-five percent of his combat potential and pushing his Battle Power even higher.

BOOM—

Another incomparably terrifying attack erupted. This time, Ye Tianling’s attack instantly pulverized Ji Yun’s.

Ji Yun was sent flying, coughing up blood, but in the next moment, his aura became even more terrifying.

The Dao Rhyme Fragments around his body decreased by another ten-thousand-plus, and because of this, Chu Shaocheng directly claimed the number one rank.

Ji Yun dropped to second place.

But when Ji Yun charged forward again, his aura was even more terrifying, even more astonishing.

"War Demon Divine Body! War Demon Divine Blood!"

"Demon-Slaying God-Killing Technique!"

At that moment, Ji Yun once again unleashed an even more terrifying killing intent.

He not only employed his Absolute Kill Talent Divine Techniques, but also pushed his War Demon Divine Body’s Divine Dao Physique to its absolute limit!

At this point, his Battle Power had also climbed to the limit of the Nine Forbidden. Although he hadn’t broken through the Nine Forbidden to reach the terrifying level of Breaking Ten, he was no longer far from it.

What was even more terrifying was that his Realm had now stepped into the Fourth Sword Tribulation Refining Realm.

This Realm was three levels higher than Ye Tianling’s!

BOOM—

Even with Ye Tianling exerting forty-five percent of his Battle Power, his Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword was still rocked by the opponent’s killing intent and sent flying backward.

For the first time, Ye Tianling was knocked back, uncontrollably spitting out a mouthful of blood.

STOMP STOMP STOMP—

Ye Tianling stumbled back six consecutive steps. The blood and qi in his body churned violently, and a nauseating, unsettling feeling welled up inside him.

Although he wasn’t seriously injured, he had been staggered by the impact and had coughed up blood. The situation was clearly no longer optimistic.

He had fallen into a disadvantage, and this was while he was unleashing his full Battle Power.

But, just as he felt himself at a disadvantage and his mood grew grim, he had no idea that the blood and qi in Ji Yun’s own body were roiling even more violently, to the point that he almost spat blood himself!

Ji Yun found it absolutely unbelievable. How could this Ye Tianling be so powerful? So heaven-defying!
