Rebirth of the Strongest Empress Chapter 2755: Tian (4)

"Yes, I must express my gratitude to the legacy realm of the Fourth Domain," Ye Qingtang replied with composure. "I once bore witness to you employing the god-grade Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline to assault your own sister."

"In an era long past... you observed me attacking... What utter nonsense are you spewing?!" The God of Nature was incensed.

"It is of no consequence," Ye Qingtang stated expressionlessly.

From the yellow dog, Ye Qingtang knew that acquiring the power of the Heavenly Dao had but two paths: cultivation or plunder. And the sole method to seize Heavenly Dao energy was through the application of the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline.

Given that the God of Nature possessed a god-level Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline, if she intended to triumph over him, her only recourse was to await the precise moment he employed his own Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline to absorb her Heavenly Dao energy.

Although Ye Qingtang also wielded the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline, it was incomparable to his divine-tier lineage. Consequently, during Ye Qingtang's engagement with the God of Nature, she had already channeled Heavenly Dao power to fortify her own Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. This was the very reason the God of Nature had commented on her slow absorption of Heavenly Dao power.

In reality, it was not that Ye Qingtang's absorption of Heavenly Dao energy was sluggish; rather, she dedicated all her Heavenly Dao energy towards her Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline.

The sheer magnitude of Heavenly Dao energy was sufficient to elevate a bloodline beyond the god-tier, propelling it to the level of Heavenly Dao itself.

Ye Qingtang had been biding her time, anticipating the exact moment the God of Nature would unleash his god-level Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline to absorb her Heavenly Dao energy. That definitive moment had finally arrived.

"At times, regardless of how formidable one's martial prowess may be, a certain degree of intellect is still indispensable... Do I speak the truth, Ling Yan...?" Ye Qingtang's lips curved into a slight smile as her gaze drifted into the distance.

Perhaps after spending so much time in the company of that man, she had indeed become more astute...

"I am eternal and indestructible. Your actions are utterly meaningless... Let us forge a pact. Retain your bloodline power for now," the God of Nature implored, fixing his gaze upon Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang simply shook her head. "I hold no interest in any dealings with you. Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao Devouring Bloodline, once initiated, cannot be halted."

"What did you say?!" The God of Nature's countenance shifted dramatically.

"Moreover, are you still capable of remaining imperishable and indestructible after the complete depletion of your Heavenly Dao energy?" Ye Qingtang inquired.

"Allow me to impart a secret. I possess the ability to aid in your parents' resurrection. I can even facilitate your ascension to become Tian," the God of Nature continued, attempting to bargain.

Ye Qingtang responded indifferently, "Upon absorbing your essence, I shall naturally attain the status of Tian. There is no need for you to resurrect my parents either. I can accomplish that feat myself."

"You... do you realize that I am your brother? How could you possibly bring yourself to treat your own kin in such a manner...?"

"Preposterous."

...

Following a period of intense struggle, Ye Qingtang observed the God of Nature, who had now disintegrated into a swirling vortex of dust. No trace of pity could be found within her eyes.

Nevertheless, it had to be acknowledged that the Heavenly Dao energy contained within the God of Nature's being was truly immense.

At that very instant, Ye Qingtang even felt that with but a flick of her wrist, she possessed the power to reshape the world itself, should she so desire...

"It is finished."

Ye Qingtang whispered to herself.

Everything had reached its conclusion.

...

In the Upper Realm, within the confines of a colossal palace.

The Heavenly Palace.

Ye Qingtang and Ling Yan emerged from the grand structure.

"Salutations, Tian!"

Several guards prostrated themselves upon witnessing Ye Qingtang's arrival.

"Rise," Ye Qingtang commanded.

These guards were formidable individuals handpicked by Ye Qingtang from the lower realms. She had bestowed them Perfected Immortal bodies and escorted them to the Upper Realm.
