Chapter 412: A Peerless Prodigy Who Survived Celestial Dao Erasure

"I really don’t want to believe it, but it’s the truth. It’s truly terrifying!"

Mo Yufan’s voice trembled slightly.

He was so stunned by this terrifying information that he nearly coughed up blood. The shock was truly unimaginable.

For him, it was simply an unparalleled, world-shattering blow!

"Are... are you sure this is real? You have to understand, the Small World may be a broken place, just a corner of existence left over after our New World was completely compressed, but it’s by no means ordinary! The rules are fragmented and the Heavenly Dao Laws are rudimentary, and that’s not even mentioning the combat power shackles like the Nine Forbidden. The barriers between Great Realms are completely locked tight. How could someone be that terrifying?"

Mo Yuqian was completely stunned at first. Then, she realized this claim felt very wrong.

So she voiced her question immediately.

"I thought so, too. But not only did I kill seven natives in a row, but another Cultivator gave me the same story. He was a Saint Child, a true witness who saw that scene with his own eyes. This Saint Child is very powerful himself. He ended up in our territory and was captured by our Saintess, who was preparing to use him for Absorption."

As Mo Yufan spoke, he added, "This person’s name is Long Huiyu. He possesses a trace of the Divine Dragon Bloodline. Unfortunately, it isn’t very pure—he’s from a branch of the Dragon Race—so I released him."

Mo Yuqian nodded. "It’s best not to provoke behemoths like the Dragon Race for now. It was wise to release him. So, did he also confirm these things?"

Mo Yufan nodded gravely. "I apologized to him, explained the current rules of Heaven and Earth, and even helped heal his injuries. He was actually very grateful, and from what I can tell, he was telling the truth. The seven Cultivators I killed didn’t have their stories straight. More importantly, according to Long Huiyu, this Celestial Secret Divine Son, Ye Tianling, is even more terrifying than I described."

"Rumor in the Dragon Race has it that he is the main culprit behind the Descent of the New World. He directly shattered the forbidden Laws of the Celestial Dao, causing it to fracture. Only then did the Great Dao Laws activate ahead of schedule, triggering the changes that brought about the New World’s Descent."

"An existence like that would surely not be tolerated by the Celestial Dao, so he was targeted for Celestial Dao Erasure."

"The terrifying part is that all the natives of the outside world thought Ye Tianling had undergone Transformation Dao and been erased by the Celestial Dao. But in reality, he’s thriving right now. He’s even fought his way into the Thirty-six-story Celestial Tower! The Celestial Dao itself couldn’t kill him... If Mo Yuxi goes after him, I can’t imagine any outcome other than him throwing his life away..."

Hearing this, Mo Yuqian’s face went pale.

"We have to stop him! Let’s go, quickly!"

Mo Yuqian’s voice was strained with panic.

"It’s too late. We’ve already spent nearly an hour gathering this information. In that time, Mo Yuxi would have had enough time to cross the blood-red wasteland and enter the Thirty-Sixth Layer. With his explosive temper, he’ll charge in recklessly, quickly find out where the Celestial Secret Divine Son is, and then go straight for the kill by Burning his Essence Blood."

"Our power levels are similar. By the time we rush over there, forget saving him—I’m afraid we’ll be too late to even collect his body."

Mo Yufan felt helpless. He had already given up on the idea of saving Mo Yuxi. Ever since he learned what kind of monster this Celestial Secret Divine Son was, all thoughts of battle or revenge had vanished from his mind.

’Revenge?’ He knew full well that the Heavenly Dao Laws were not to be defied. ’I’m not more badass than the Heavenly Dao Laws. If they can’t kill him, I don’t stand a chance. So why would I make an enemy of an existence like that? It’s not just a matter of having a screw loose; only a complete moron would do something so brain-dead.’

"Who said anything about saving him? We’re going over there to make things clear and ensure we don’t make an enemy of that Ye Tianling!"

Mo Yuqian said firmly.

"Er—"

Mo Yufan’s expression became a sight to behold. A muscle in his cheek twitched uncontrollably. Clearly, Mo Yuqian’s suggestion had shocked him, too.

’Rush over there in a panic just to apologize? And disavow Mo Yuxi, so that Ye Tianling doesn’t direct his hatred toward us?’

’Could anything be so insane?’

For the first time, Mo Yufan felt that reality was utterly absurd.

But was it really absurd?

’When I think of a monster that even the laws of Heaven and Earth couldn’t erase... when I think of how he, at the mere Sword Soul Realm, managed to kill six of a Divine King’s Clones... Even if that was in the Small World, it’s still enough to prove what an unparalleled monster he is!’

’The Small World is low-level, fragmented, and crude, yes. But to display such breathtaking talent in such a difficult and harsh environment... Now that he’s in the terrifying New World, just how horrifying will he be when his full Talent is unleashed?’

Mo Yufan gradually calmed down. "Yes, we should go. And we need to get there as fast as humanly possible!"

Mo Yuqian said, "Once you hear the information I’ve gathered, you’ll understand that I have very good reasons for doing this."

Mo Yufan asked, "What? Did he do something else astonishing here?"

Mo Yuqian said, "The Elder Roc King and the Celestial Serpent King have already summoned all the Ancient Ancestor Level beings and made an announcement. Among other things, they revealed that this Divine Son, Ye Tianling, isn’t just the Celestial Secret Divine Son—he also possesses the ancient Divine Blood of the Golden-winged Roc Lineage: the Kunpeng Divine Blood. He is the Kunpeng Divine Son of the Golden-winged Roc!"

"Although the Golden-winged Roc Clan has since produced a pair of breathtakingly talented youths, a Golden Divine Son and Jade Girl, who have already taken Ye Tianling’s place as the primary Kunpeng Divine Son!"

"But do you know what Ye Tianling did before that happened?"

"HISS... What did he do?"

Mo Yufan sucked in another sharp breath.

’As if being the Celestial Secret Divine Son wasn’t enough, he also has ties to the powerful and utterly insane Golden-winged Roc Clan?’

"He roasted and ate the Celestial Serpent King’s grandson, Prince Celestial Serpent Teng Chuanxing. If the Celestial Serpent King himself hadn’t personally intervened to plead for mercy, Teng Chuanxing would have been a dead man for sure! For someone as vicious as the Celestial Serpent King to actually take the initiative and beg for mercy... can you even imagine that scene?"

Mo Yuqian’s heart trembled. Just hearing about it sent a thrill of excitement through her. She found herself picturing Ye Tianling’s incredibly domineering presence, and an uncontrollable admiration began to blossom in her heart.

For a pragmatic woman like her, his kind of Talent, ability, and domineering charm held a fatal attraction.

As for any thoughts of hatred, she had long since thrown them to the wind.

"Unimaginable. The Celestial Serpent King is notoriously calculating. For him to back down... it just goes to show how heaven-defying this Kunpeng Divine Son must be. It’s only natural, I suppose. After all, you can’t just target a Divine Son, especially not one from an ancient bloodline. Those lineages rarely produce a Divine Son or Divine Lady, so when one appears, they are truly precious."

"To kill a Divine Son is to create a blood feud that can never be reconciled!"
