Giving Birth But Not Raising, Why Are You Crying Now That I’ve Become an Immortal Emperor? - Chapter 38 - Chapter 38 – Split Heaven! One Sword Is Not Enough How About Two

“Boom!!!”

With a slight tremble of the Taibai Immortal Sword, a piercing, invisible sword intent suddenly emerged, a murderous aura sweeping across heaven and earth.

At this moment, Ao Feng’s eyes locked tightly onto the sword in Ye Lingyun’s hand, a faint trace of caution flickering deep within.

Although Ye Lingyun’s cultivation was still far from his own, this immortal sword, silent for a thousand years, held unpredictable power that could not be underestimated.

Fortunately, Ao Feng himself was a practitioner of the Ascension realm—one of the peak experts in the Nine Provinces.

Though cautious about the sword, he was confident in his own supreme cultivation and held considerable assurance that he would be able to capture Ye Lingyun this time.

The two confronted each other in mid-air, the atmosphere growing heavier by the moment.

Yet, neither noticed that not far away in a nearby void, since Li Yue and Ao Feng’s appearance, a cold, elegant gaze had quietly been watching them, faintly present but unwaveringly focused on the situation between the two sides.

That cold gaze belonged to none other than the Daoist Supreme of the Dao Palace, Dongfang Yuqing.

From the time Ye Lingyun and his group left Eastern Province Great Chu and traveled to Northern Province’s Mount Shu, she had been secretly following—not only to study Ye Lingyun more closely but also to protect his safety.

A promising innate Dao body like him must not suffer any accidents.

Dongfang Yuqing’s slender figure was concealed in the void, her hair neatly tied high, her exquisite beauty unmatched. Her clear, bright eyes shimmered with a faint chill, calm and otherworldly like a banished immortal.

She quietly watched everything unfolding in the distance. Ethereal power subtly surged in her delicate hands, ready at any moment to intervene and rescue Ye Lingyun and his group from the old dragon Ao Feng.

Meanwhile, as Ye Lingyun faced off with Ao Feng holding his immortal sword, Xue Yi, who had been at his side the whole time, stepped directly in front of him.

“Young Master Ye, I’ll hold off those two. You go ahead!”

Her voice was cold and resolute. Without turning back, she stared straight ahead, the light in her hand softly glowing as the holy grade sword “Snow Wind,” gifted by Ye Lingyun, suddenly leapt forth.

Xue Yi’s cultivation was close to the Mahayana realm, making her the strongest openly acknowledged member of Ye Lingyun’s party. That she was willing to make such a decision clearly meant she had thrown caution to the wind about her own life and death.

Before Ye Lingyun could respond, Ao Feng made his move.

A withered hand stretched smoothly out from his sleeve, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, and struck down heavily.

Amidst the surge of vast spiritual power, it instantly condensed into a gigantic dragon claw hundreds of feet across!

The claw was covered entirely with blue scales, strong and ferocious, radiating a terrifying pressure wave as it slammed furiously toward Ye Lingyun and his group.

Seeing this, Ye Lingyun’s eyes sharpened. He grabbed Xue Yi behind him and, at the same time, swung the Taibai Immortal Sword down fiercely!

“Stunning Phoenix!”

A fierce sword intent exploded like a raging river, rushing forward like the might of converging rivers into the sea, crashing heavily against the dragon claw!

Bang bang!!

The powerful dragon claw trembled violently under the sword energy, unleashing the terrifying force within like a volcanic eruption.

Even after grinding away the sword intent, the battered and fearsome claw still roared forward!

It was clear: despite the support of the immortal sword, facing an Ascension realm expert’s assault was still not enough!

“Hmph! The Taibai Immortal Sword is indeed powerful, but you only mastered the third level. Not enough, far from enough!”

Ao Feng’s cold mockery sounded alongside. Ye Lingyun’s expression shifted slightly as the enormous blue dragon claw rapidly expanded in his vision. The spiritual power in his dantian surged wildly.

At this critical moment, in his mind, the emotionless voice of the Dao sounded again, quietly:

[You used the Taibai Immortal Sword, sword energy fills the air, falling from the ninth heaven, comprehend the Taibai Sword Technique Level Nine — Split Heaven!]

With his extraordinary aptitude, he directly comprehended the ninth level of the Taibai Sword Technique!

It should be noted that in the endless passage of time, none of the previous sword masters of the Taibai Immortal Sword achieved the ninth level without countless years—hundreds or even thousands—of intense study and meditation after receiving the sword.

But now, Ye Lingyun, thanks to his unparalleled comprehension, had suddenly mastered the Taibai Sword Technique to the very peak.

Terrifying indeed!

Realizing this, dazzling lights sparkled in Ye Lingyun’s eyes. He threw back his head and laughed loudly. His spiritual power boiled over, and the immortal sword in his hand came crashing down heavily again!

“Old mudfish, open your eyes wide and watch closely!”

“Split! Heaven!”

Before his words fell, an overwhelming sword energy surged up from the Taibai Sword, soaring straight into the nine heavens!

Boom!!

The wind and clouds dispersed; heaven and earth rumbled!

The roaring sword intent cut across the sky. Under the stunned gaze of everyone present, it fiercely struck the raging blue dragon claw.

The murderous sword intent surged wildly, forcibly shattering the powerful dragon claw!

Ao Feng’s face instantly changed, his body trembling uncontrollably. Blood welled up from the tip of his right hand.

This top-tier Ascension realm expert was actually injured by this earth-shattering sword strike!

The entire scene fell into stunned silence—utterly breathless!

The Liu sisters and Xue Yi stood dumbfounded, their beautiful eyes trembling, simultaneously filled with disbelief.

My heavens, he actually wounded that Ascension realm old dragon!
And he mastered the ninth level of the Taibai Immortal Sword this fast?
Is he even human?

Even the distant void rippled faintly. Hidden in the shadows, Dongfang Yuqing’s figure trembled slightly, a trace of shock flashing in her clear, autumn-like eyes.

That’s the ninth level of the Taibai Immortal Sword!
How could this kid possibly master and unleash it successfully in such a short time?

Although she had been secretly observing Ye Lingyun for a long while and knew of his extraordinary aptitude, at this moment she was still deeply shaken again.

Such talent—truly terrifying!

Facing Ye Lingyun, Li Yue unconsciously opened her mouth wide, staring blankly at the scene before her, speechless for a long time.

“How… how did he do that?”
“Uncle Feng is one of the top Ascension experts in the Nine Provinces!”

Countless thoughts surged in the young lady’s mind, leaving her momentarily at a loss.

Finally, Ao Feng was the first to come back to his senses.

He glared fiercely at Ye Lingyun, his aged eyes revealing undeniable shock.

“Ninth level of the Taibai Immortal Sword—how is that possible?!”

I must capture him!

If this kid can be used by my Demon God Palace, it would be a huge gain!

At that thought, a brilliant gleam flashed in Ao Feng’s eyes, and his aura instantly intensified.

“Boy, one sword is not enough!”
“Today, you must come with me!”

With a roar, Ao Feng launched another attack!

But at the same time, a meaningful smile slowly appeared on Ye Lingyun’s face.

“One sword not enough?”
“Well then, how about two?”
