Chapter 1454: Heaven and Earth Suppression

"Ha ha," the qilin snake laughed. "Many ferocious beasts know this place is a trap, yet they can't resist the temptation! I didn't expect you, a human, to fall for it so easily!"

It might just be bored; besides, it thinks Ye Liuyun won't run away, so why not chat with Ye Liuyun for a while.

"What kind of herb is this?" Ye Liuyun asked as he chatted with it.

The qilin snake found the human rather interesting and explained, "This is the Blue Soul Flower that enhances Divine Soul Power! I spent a great effort to transplant it to the entrance of my cave. Using it to lure ferocious beasts lets me save some effort when hunting."

"But why didn't I notice your realm before?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"My Divine Soul Power has already broken through the Divine Rank; can it still let you see my realm?" the qilin snake said proudly.

"Broken through the Divine Rank? What kind of state is that?" Ye Liuyun, upon hearing that its Divine Soul Power had broken through the Divine Rank, immediately wanted to know more.

"How to put it? It feels extraordinarily powerful, with no opponent! When I use my Divine Soul Power to its fullest, I even feel the suppression of this Heavenly Earth's Heaven and Earth Power!" the qilin snake said after a moment's thought.

"Suppression by the Heaven and Earth Power?" Ye Liuyun was puzzled.

"Of course! This Heavenly Earth cannot bear power beyond the Divine Rank, so it suppresses it! No matter how strong your unilateral power is, you cannot surpass this Heavenly Earth. Unless..." the qilin snake said, leaving a cliffhanger.

"Unless what?" Ye Liuyun pressed.

"Unless you break through the Divine Rank in all aspects of your strength. Then you will naturally overcome the limitation. Moreover, it is said that a better place, a better environment awaits, so you won't have to stay here." the qilin snake said with some longing.

"What is that place?" Ye Liuyun became interested.

"How would I know? If I knew, would I still stay here? You don't need to know. In a moment you'll become my food! Though your realm is low, at least you'll fill my belly!"

The qilin snake said calmly, wanting to see Ye Liuyun's worried expression, finding it amusing to tease a Human Martial Cultivator.

"Do many Human Martial Cultivators come here?" Ye Liuyun, unfazed by the qilin snake's threat, continued asking the question he cared about.

The qilin snake was a bit disappointed, but still answered him.

"Not many at all! In a year or two you won't encounter even one, and none as low as your realm. You and your few peers reaching here must rely on Divine Soul Power to subdue the beasts here, right?"

"Your Divine Soul Power is so strong it can see them?" Ye Liuyun was startled.

He only discovered this qilin snake after separating from the others by a great distance.

The qilin snake became smug again, as if enjoying the praise.

"Of course! You think your Divine Soul is strong enough to subdue all the beasts here! Compared with mine, yours is far weaker!"

It didn't know that Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul is not as strong as its own, but what Ye Liuyun worries least is the Spiritual Soul Attack.

So he remained indifferent and kept asking, "You said this Heavenly Earth suppresses your power; how can you still be stronger than me? How does it suppress you?"

"Your questions are endless!" the qilin snake seemed to have lost patience, no longer feeling the joy of teasing Ye Liuyun, perhaps a bit hungry.

"Since you're so powerful, aren't you afraid to answer a few more questions? Even if you eat me, you should let me die clearly, right? Otherwise my traveling this far would be in vain," Ye Liuyun used provocation.

"Hmm... indeed, you can't run away either! Let me tell you. Once some of your abilities break through the Divine Rank, each time you use it at full power, the Heaven and Earth Power will limit it. If you keep pushing beyond that limit, though you can still unleash it, it will send down Heavenly Thunder to strike you!"

The qilin snake said this while looking up at the sky in fear.

"If you can't use full power, how can you kill me?" Ye Liuyun retorted.

"Ha ha, to kill you, do I need to use full power?" the qilin snake suddenly laughed.

"Probably, without full power you can't kill me!" Ye Liuyun said, and the Bloodline Power in his body began to erupt.

"Huh? You're not completely useless! Maybe eating you will boost my Bloodline Power!" the qilin snake said, drooling.

But instantly, it sensed Ye Liuyun's raging Bloodline Power. This Bloodline Power even frightened it.

"This Bloodline Power..." it wondered whether Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Power had broken through the Divine Rank.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun tried to unleash all his Bloodline Power, but it was restrained. A portion of the Bloodline Power could not manifest.

The qilin snake, seeing Ye Liuyun still forcing his Bloodline Power, hurried, "Stop quickly, you'll attract Heavenly Thunder!"

"I attract Heavenly Thunder, and it also strikes me; why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Liuyun was unmoved.

"Boom," Ye Liuyun felt his blood emit a roaring sound, and immediately all his Bloodline Power erupted.

"Damn it!" the qilin snake cursed, "I'll suffer along with you! What do I do? What do I do?"

At that moment, dark clouds gathered overhead, and lightning flashed with thunder.

Ye Liuyun was actually quite pleased.

He wasn't afraid of the lightning attack; in fact, he hadn't cultivated Thunder Power for a long time.

And this also proved that his Bloodline Power had indeed broken through the Divine Rank.

With this experience, whenever other powers break through, he'll know what to expect!

In its panic, the qilin snake originally intended to kill the troublesome human boy first, but it stopped abruptly.

Even if it killed Ye Liuyun now, it would be too late; the Heavenly Thunder was about to strike.

And since Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Power had broken through the Divine Rank, his presence might help share some of the Heavenly Thunder.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun was channeling the thunder source within his Nascent Core, preparing to cultivate Thunder Power, completely unbothered by the qilin snake's ambush.

Whether Physical Body or Spiritual Soul Attack, Ye Liuyun feared nothing.

Moreover, he was still suppressing the qilin snake with his Bloodline Power. If it wanted to launch a full attack, it could only use its Divine Soul Power.

"If I can absorb a Divine Soul Power that exceeds the Divine Rank, will my own Divine Soul Power also rise to the Divine Rank?" Ye Liuyun looked forward to the qilin snake initiating a Spiritual Soul Attack first.

Within the forest sea, it was now pitch black; the sky above the forest sea was shrouded by dark clouds, also pitch black.
