31 Heavenly Dao of the Sword (2/2)

”Be faster~” Ye Yuyan teased with a cute expression.

Nesilia felt a shiver travel down her spine while she looked at Ye Yuyan. She took bigger steps in an less than a minute she was at the top with Ye Yuyan.

In front of them was the red door embroidered with a coiling dragon on each side. Two statues stood to the side of the door.

To the left was a black demon with 9 red lines and a serpent coiled around it and to the left was a golden crow with a lightning bolt in one eye and a golden flame in the other. The two statues stood the side radiating the majesty of supreme laws.

”What are these?” Nesilia asked as she probed the statues and felt a sudden jolt in her body.

”Don't do that. Your psyche will be destroyed.” Ye Yuyan warned sternly as he approached the door. Nesilia felt her heart lurch as she watched Ye Yuyan approach the door. The two statues' eyes seemed to follow him as he approached the door and lightly tapped it.

His tap caused ripples to the door like a stone skipping over a lake. The ripples intensified as the gate started to open. From the temple came an unspeakably horrid aura burst out wrapping the entire temple.

The aura burst through the barrier shooting into the sky, even the nothingness of the extreme void warped under the pressure of the blood aura. The sky turned an even darker crimson, in turn, making the people of the world fearful.

Back in the temple, the blood auras gathered together. From inside the temple open two vertical slits as an oppressive aura forced Nesilia to fall to the ground. Her body became paralyzed by the sheer fear but Ye Yuyan stood stalwart before the horrifying gaze.

A bloody wind shot out from the temple like the roar of a beast. Ye Yuyan robe sleeves swished back with the wind but Ye Yuyan stood unfazed. He looked over Nesilia who was unable to move before the beast and felt reminiscence hit him.

Back then he was atop a mountain when in the sky appeared a man in black robes with a serpent coiled around him and on the other side was a little boy in violet robes he had a transcendent demeanor that remained unstained.

The two had a cultivation that far surpassed anything Ye Yuyan had ever seen, each clash of power rendered cracks in the sky and dispelled every cloud in a 100-mile radius. If any of there attacks hit the ground, they could destroy whole kingdoms.

Their auras blasted out suppressing the entire world, even the air was forced to be subservient. Ye Yuyan's body was slammed down onto the ground unable to move.

He couldn't even look up to the people fighting above him. He was an ant forced to kneel before true power, this was the way of the world and the Law of Kings.

”You asked why I wasn't afraid.” Ye Yuyan said as he sported a smirk.

”Well for one I'll tell that I'm human. I'm actually rather human, I lived and loved, feared and cried, failed and fought.” He said as the smirk grew into a bright smile.

The red lotus on his forehead superimposed with the third lotus leaf. His aura skyrocketed as it burst through reaching half step rank 4. His left eye bled black blood as it became completely black except for the white pupil.

”You see, man is a creature of desires and I have subjected all my desires including fear into one single path.” Ye Yuyan said as the red lotus seemed to shake with frightening nomological powers.

”A path I hold myself to. The path of power!” Ye Yuyan intoned as his eyes gleamed with the might of the heavenly dao.

The red river stirred as a golden sword force shot out intertwined with the blood aura. Nesilia's body felt lightened at the moment and she tilted her head up.

She then saw a red and gold sword shoot out from the red river stabbing through the blood winds and predator's eyes.

The sword dispelled all the blood powers instantly yet even after that the sword force lingered as it is was immortal. A terrifying prospect formed in her mind at that moment.

”You...comprehended sword intent?!?” She questioned as her fear of Ye Yuyan grew at that moment. Ye Yuyan shook his head and chuckled.

”No sadly, I've only comprehended about half.” He said self depreciatingly but in reality, the sword dao he was mastering was a peak dao.

He had comprehended his principles from the heartsword code and absorbed weapon truths from the heavenly dao. His sword intent could be said to be the Heavenly Dao of the Sword.
