Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Chapter 411: The Celestial Secret Divine Son is Actually This Terrifying

Now that she’d spelled it out, if he still couldn’t understand, he was truly a fool.

A chill ran through Mo Yufan’s heart. Mo Yuqian was too ruthless. If she had just said this earlier, then no matter how enraged Mo Yuxi was, he would have surely held back. But Mo Yuqian had deliberately withheld this crucial piece of judgment, which was why Mo Yuxi had charged forward so recklessly.

Mo Yuqian sighed. "My feelings for Mo Yuxi are no less than my feelings for Yanyan. But he’s too impulsive, too hot-tempered, and too frivolous. Among the three of us, these traits make him our weak link. If he can learn a lesson from this, it might temper him. Combined with his powerful obsession and Strong Heart, his weakness could become his strength. And if he dies, I can just ask the Daoist Ancestor to select a new Divine Child to join our group and replace him.

"This isn’t about us being cruel. If our group continues on this path, we’ll never get anywhere—just look at what happened this time. You clearly had the ability to achieve Battle Power Breaking Seven, but you were distracted by Mo Yuyan’s death and failed to break through. That is a display of incompetence. How can a true Saint Son and Saintess let their breakthroughs be affected by something like that? To be so easily swayed—don’t you feel you bring shame to those titles?

"Besides, having Mo Yuxi go and test the Celestial Secret Divine Son’s strength is also a test of this terrifying, instinctual Talent of mine. If Mo Yuxi dies, it will prove how incredible this Ability is and how it can help us seek fortune and avoid disaster in the future. And if he somehow manages to come back, it’s not a big deal for me to apologize. Then the three of us can just team up and kill the Celestial Secret Divine Son. It won’t matter either way.

"It’s only right that Mo Yuxi plays his part for the sake of this peerless, heaven-defying ’precognitive Talent’."

Mo Yuqian knew Mo Yufan had seen through her schemes and manipulations, so she stopped hiding them and laid it all out.

Even though Mo Yufan already knew Mo Yuqian was vicious and calculating, hearing this still made him gasp. A chill ran down his spine.

’This woman... she’s even using her childhood companions as cannon fodder to help her prove her path!’

’And to have so many schemes and motives, all deployed so casually... it’s truly terrifying.’

Mo Yufan fell silent. He said no more, but his heart grew cold.

"In the end, it’s his fault for not being on the same page as us. Yanyan was with Mo Yuqing and Mo Yuqiu, yet he wanted to fool around with her. Did he ever stop to think about our opinions or our feelings? Did he ever consider that his actions would cause problems for both our groups? Besides, I did everything I was supposed to. He was the one who insisted on doing things his way. What more could I have said?

"As the eldest disciple-sister, didn’t I look after Yanyan and the others? How many times did I try to persuade you? How many times did I try to reason with Mo Yuxi? But did any of you listen? You don’t listen, and when you pay the price, suddenly I’m the vicious one? If he had just listened, would any of this have happened?"

Mo Yuqian challenged Mo Yufan.

Mo Yufan sighed. "I didn’t say anything. You were right to do what you did. Making use of a waste, I suppose. I’m afraid Disciple-Brother Mo Yuxi is almost certainly going to die this time."

A strange glint appeared in Mo Yuqian’s beautiful eyes. "You can tell?"

Mo Yufan shook his head. "With your calculating mind and strategic prowess, you must already have immense faith in your Talent’s judgment. And in a New World, such instinctual judgments are as good as fact. Since that Celestial Secret Divine Son is so capable, I don’t believe he’ll let Mo Yuxi live after being challenged at his doorstep. In other words, the outcome is already set.

"Fine. From now on, I’ll follow your lead. Just tell me what you need me to do."

Mo Yuqian nodded. "In that case, go and find out the specifics about this Celestial Secret Divine Son. If you can, grab some of the local dirt-slaves and force the information out of them. I’ll gather information on the various peerless geniuses who have appeared in the New World recently. Then we’ll meet up and head to the Thirty-Sixth Layer of the Heaven-Reaching Tower."

Mo Yufan nodded. "Alright, it’s a deal."

The two quickly came to an agreement.

Meanwhile, Mo Yuxi had already entered the Thirty-Sixth Layer of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

"The Celestial Secret Divine Son? Have any of you seen the Celestial Secret Divine Son of the Human Race?"

Mo Yuxi’s aura raged, his killing intent flooding the area. He unleashed this presence, powered by his Battle Power approaching Breaking Seven and his terrifying Realm at the Middle Stage of Sword Void Three Transformations, causing the faces of countless genius Cultivators to drain of color.

Mo Yuxi stormed through the Thirty-Sixth Layer of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, bellowing at every Cultivator he passed.

These Alien Race Cultivators were by no means weak—some were even stronger than Mo Yuxi. But upon encountering him in such a crazed state, they all gave him a wide berth, wanting no part in arguing or even interacting with him. In a dangerous place like this, fighting a madman wasn’t worth the trouble, even for those stronger than him. It would only create an opening for other experts to seize the opportunity for the Mutated Dao Fire.

"No."

"Haven’t."

"Haven’t seen him. Profound Yin Saint Son, you could try checking to the west. We came from the east and haven’t seen anyone like that at all."

"Sorry, I really haven’t seen him."

"The Celestial Secret Divine Son? Don’t you mean the Kunpeng Divine Son?"

"Yeah, it must be the Kunpeng Divine Son, right? I saw him in the Flame Sea region to the west. He killed Saint Son Mo Yuqiu and Saint Son Mo Yuqing with a single sword strike. And with a thick iron rod... he impaled Saintess Mo Yuyan from below..."

He continued his furious sprint. Finally, after he had questioned over three hundred Cultivators, one of them, a young man in black robes, gave him the information he sought.

"What?! You goddamn bastard!"

Hearing the gruesome details of Mo Yuyan’s death, Mo Yuxi flew into an even greater rage—if that was even possible.

Now, to kill Ye Tianling as quickly as possible, he even began to burn his Essence Blood, pushing his Sky Control speed to its limit as he shot forth with a roar.

...

「Half an hour later.」

Mo Yuqian and Mo Yufan rendezvoused.

"I’ve found a very important piece of information."

"I’ve found an extremely important piece of information."

Mo Yuqian and Mo Yufan spoke at almost the exact same time.

"Hm? You go first."

Mo Yuqian remained silent, her expression growing even more solemn.

The news she had uncovered was even more terrifying than she had imagined, and it filled her with a deep sense of dread.

Mo Yufan nodded slightly and began, "The Celestial Secret Divine Son of the Human Race... ’Monstrous’ isn’t even enough to describe how terrifying he is."

Mo Yuqian’s heart trembled. She shuddered, and her voice wavered slightly. "Oh? Tell me."

She tried to steady the shock in her heart as Mo Yufan’s voice continued. "This man reached the Sword Soul Realm within half a year. He refined three great Void Bodies, two of which have the battle power of a peak Sword Ancestor Level expert. One of them, a blood-colored Fierce Soul, killed six Clones of the Taotie Divine Beast, the Divine King of Blood Kill! He single-handedly slaughtered his way through the entire Dragon Race and killed the Child of Celestial Mandate of the Small World—who also happened to be the Taotie Divine Beast’s son!

"And one of the Taotie Divine Beast’s wives, Yao Yusu, the Saint Master of the Jade Pool Sacred Land, was at the Nine Source Sword Saint Realm. He beat her to death, completely obliterating her!"

Mo Yuqian’s face drained of all color. She gasped. "To be so utterly brutal and terrifying!"
