Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Her mind was resolute, and her blade was lightning imbued.

At this moment, Ye Ling’s actions astonished the world again.

The disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect were completely stupefied as they gazed at the young woman in the distance. Although they were stunned, they felt like she was extremely dazzling and reliable.

The calm yet sinister smile of the peerless Heavenly Demon gradually froze onto its face, and it gazed at the Chaotic Divine Lightning in the young woman’s hands as if it were gazing at a ghost.

Not even in its wildest dreams would it have imagined that the young woman could summon this kind of terrifying lightning with such ease. With a single shout of “lightning, come”, the Chaotic Divine Lightning had genuinely descended into her hands?

Was this young woman the daughter of the Heavenly Dao?

There was pain and puzzlement in the peerless Heavenly Demon’s eyes as it gazed at the sky. It clearly represented the catastrophe unleashed by the Heavenly Dao, so why was the Heavenly Dao helping this young woman instead?

No one could answer this question.

The young woman leaned forward slightly, and a barely discernible shadow suddenly streaked toward the peerless Heavenly Demon. A formidable killing intent instantly caused the surrounding hundreds of kilometers of space to solidify.

“Assassination—Chaotic Divine Lightning Slash!”

After being imbued with Chaotic Divine Lightning, the sharpness and might of the Sword to Send You Safely On Your Way instantly rose by several notches. It tore through the sky and ruthlessly slashed down at the peerless Heavenly Demon’s head.

However, the peerless Heavenly Demon was unafraid as it faced the power that had once severely wounded it. Instead, it actively charged forward, with the twin flaming swords in its hands unleashing a formidable power of hundreds of millions of pounds. Its twin swords had yet to strike their target, but the purple flames around them had already lunged toward Ye Ling like ghosts and monsters!

The peerless Heavenly Demon knew that the Chaotic Divine Lightning on Ye Ling’s dagger could emanate into the surroundings.

Thus, it was because of this that it decided to attack first. It would strike first and burn the young woman to death with its destructive purple flames! By doing so, the young woman wouldn’t be able to unleash the full power of the Chaotic Divine Lightning even if she could fully control it!

The peerless Heavenly Demon was brimming with confidence. After all, it had only just used these purple flames to kill Situ Feng. Moreover, his current opponent was merely a young woman who had just passed her tribulation. As such, she definitely couldn’t withstand the power of its destructive purple flames, not even for a single second!

However, Ye Ling was completely unafraid of these nearing purple flames. She parted her lips, saying, “Diving Lightning Barrier.”

A portion of the lightning on her dagger instantly dashed forward to form a barrier of lightning before her, crushing the surging purple flames into nothing but currents of chaos.

“How is this possible…” the peerless Heavenly Demon murmured in a daze.

At this moment, its twin blades had already slashed down into Ye Ling’s silver-white dagger, sending bursts of devastating energy into the surroundings.

Their weapons collided again.

Arcs of Chaotic Divine Lightning started to travel along the twin blades and emanate onto the peerless Heavenly Demon’s body.

“Ahhhh…!” The peerless Heavenly Demon’s body twisted and contorted as it was ravaged by the bursts of Chaotic Divine Lightning again. Hundreds upon thousands of gaping wounds instantly appeared on its body.

Meanwhile, Ye Ling was sent flying by her own attack again.

However, after stabilizing herself in the air, she discovered that her power hadn’t weakened at all. Instead, it had become even more powerful. After being continuously tempered by the Chaotic Divine Lightning, her physique had already undergone some indiscernible transformation. Her skin was smooth and jade-like, and she radiated with an aura that was both transcendent and ethereal.

By battling while she was facing her tribulation, it appeared as if she could better familiarize herself with her new cultivation base…

Ye Ling’s unease finally disappeared. She breathed a sigh of relief, and she raised her dagger at the sky once again. Her crisp and pleasant voice instantly echoed around the surroundings, “Lightning, come!”

Boom!

Chaotic Divine Lightning descended from the sky and gathered around the dagger in the young woman’s hand. At the same time, wisps of divine lightning furiously tempered her physique, divine sense, and Divine Dao.

Her Divine Dao was already nearing perfection…

The disciples and elders of the Vermilion Bird Sect were completely stunned by what they saw. In fact, even the sect leader of the Vermilion Bird Sect was completely astounded.

This young woman was actually wielding the Chaotic Divine Lightning as if it were her own weapon! Not only could she summon it without limit, but she could even command it to nimbly change form! What in the world was this?!

“For some reason, she reminds me of a certain person.”

“I’m also reminded of that man.”

“Heh, we’re definitely thinking of the same person.”

“Indeed, he’s none other than…”

“The Tamer of Divine Lightning!”

“The Heavenly Lightning God!”

The two elders suddenly shouted out different titles.

M-hm… Anyhow, this was the same person.

The awkward atmosphere between the two elders quickly disappeared.

An Lin could wield divine lightning, and he could even raise divine lightning as if it were his pet. This was already a renowned legend in the Tai Chu Continent. Right now, however, even Ye Ling had gained the ability to wield divine lightning. Moreover, even the most powerful lightning in the world, the Chaotic Divine Lightning, was taking good care of her, afraid that it would accidentally strike her to death.

They had never witnessed such a peculiar sight before.

Long ago, there was An Lin who wielded the Golden Void Lightning. Today, there was Ye Ling who manipulated the Chaotic Divine Lightning!

Should they say… like master, like disciple?

Ye Ling immediately charged at the peerless Heavenly Demon again, not giving it an opportunity to catch a breath.

The peerless Heavenly Demon was already charred black from the bolts of divine lightning, and it couldn’t help but shudder upon seeing Ye Ling charging toward it again. Without any hesitation, it immediately swung its twin swords, leaving arcs of devastating purple flames and sword projections in the air!

It didn’t choose to engage in close-quarters combat with Ye Ling again. Instead, it chose to attack her from a distance.

As long as its attacks were powerful enough, and as long as they covered a large enough area, Ye Ling definitely wouldn’t be able to capture it!

Purple flames and sword projections rained down toward Ye Ling, illuminating heaven and earth with a purple color.

If this were before, Ye Ling definitely wouldn’t have possessed the ability to block this attack. Now, however, she was currently facing a tribulation that was allowing her to become increasingly powerful.

“Shadow Sparrow Slash!” Ye Ling’s dagger left arcs of pure killing intent and darkness in the air as it tore through the numerous layers of purple flames and sword projections.

The peerless Heavenly Demon’s attack had been like a web that left no room for escape for Ye Ling.

In the next instant, however, Ye Ling had suddenly transformed into a shadow sparrow that fused into the dark web.

When the dark web finally surpassed the purple flames and sword projections and arrived before the peerless Heavenly Demon, Ye Ling suddenly leaped out from amid the web and ruthlessly thrust her dagger at the astounded Heavenly Demon!

The peerless Heavenly Demon raised its twin swords to protect its head.

Clang!

A streak of silver killing intent flashed across the sky.

This was accompanied by the booming of thunder and flashes of lightning.

Ye Ling’s dagger thrust into the peerless Heavenly Demon’s twin swords.

However, before the Chaotic Divine Lightning could even emanate toward the peerless Heavenly Demon, it suddenly arched its pointy tail and pierced it toward Ye Ling’s head at a speed that was even quicker than lightning. There was a wild expression on its face, and it roared, “Die!”

At this critical instant, Ye Ling’s slender waist suddenly bent at an exaggerated angle. She leaned backward, just barely dodging the peerless Heavenly Demon’s surprise attack. At the same time, the Chaotic Divine Lightning on her dagger wantonly surged toward the peerless Heavenly Demon!

Boom!

“Ahhhh…!”

The peerless Heavenly Demon screamed in wretched agony.

Ye Ling was sent flying by the shockwave of the collision, yet the dagger in her hand immediately thrust at the sky again. “Lightning, come!”

Boom!

Like a lightning rod, the dagger in Ye Ling’s hand attracted bolt after bolt of divine lightning.

“You’re still trying to sneak attack me? Don’t you know that my Divine Dao is the Divine Dao of Assassination?” Ye Ling said as she gazed at the peerless Heavenly Demon who had been blasted beyond recognition. Imbued with arcs of blinding Chaotic Divine Lightning, her dagger transformed into a shadow as it ruthlessly stabbed at the peerless Heavenly Demon again!

Before it could even heal its wounds, the peerless Heavenly Demon saw the nightmarish dagger ruthlessly thrusting toward it again…

Crack!

Ye Ling’s dagger collided with the Heavenly Demon’s twin swords again.

Ye Ling had chosen to thrust at the peerless Heavenly Demon’s head again. However, like before, her attack had been blocked by its twin swords. At this moment, however, a shudder suddenly traveled through her body.

Thump…

Her heart suddenly thumped, and it was as if her entire existence had suddenly ascended to a new level following this thump.

She had gone from imperfect to perfect.

Her Divine Dao suddenly materialized in the sky, with shadows emulating all matter and killing intent suffusing through the sky…

The phenomenon of Ye Ling’s Divine Dao flooded through heaven and earth. At this moment, her Divine Dao of Assassination was comprehensively acknowledged by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Ye Ling had successfully advanced to the Dao Integration Stage!
