Chapter 2474 Another Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial
The person who had descended from the sky at an extremely fast speed like a dragon was an elder. He had descended and stood next to Old Ancestor Qing Yue, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from Power Saint Sect Sect.
The elder wore green robes, and his long brown hair that was not tied up fluttered in the wind like snakes that were prepared to attack. He looked ordinary, like someone who would not stand out in a crowd. However, his aura and bearing were not inferior compared to Old Ancestor Qing Yue.
“Elder ancestor!”
“Elder ancestor!”
As soon as the green-clad elder appeared, another group of people began to greet him reverently. Some people from Skyline Realm also recognized the people who had greeted this newcomer. This group of people was all powerhouses from Kun Mang Sect.
“He’s from our Kun Mang Sect in Skyline Realm!”
“That’s the Grand Elder of Kun Mang Sect, an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… Moreover, there’s no doubt that the person who’s standing next to him is the Third Elder of Kun Mang Sect, a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.”
“Heavens! Even the Grand Elder of Kun Mang Sect greeted him so respectfully as Elder Ancestor… Is he the Heavenly Python Elder of Kun Mang Sect?”
“Apart from him, there’s no one who would be treated this respectfully by the Grand Elder…”
In Kun Mang Sect, there were many Bodiless Celestials. There were more than a dozen Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, three Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, and one Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who was the strongest person in the sect. The Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was also known as the Heavenly Python Elder to outsiders.
“Another Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”
When the onlookers learned about the green-robe man’s identity, a shocked expression appeared on their faces. Were Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials not supposed to be rare? Why were there so many Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials appearing one after another? There was Xuan Yuan Zhi, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from Yellow Thearch Mansion, there was Old Ancestor Qing Yue from Power Saint Sect, and there was Duan Ling Tian whose strength was comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Currently, even the Heavenly Python Elder from Kun Mang Sect in Vast Cloud Realm had joined in the fray!
“It’s not even noon, but I’ve already seen an Eminent Celestial whose strength is comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and three actual Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials!”
“I haven’t seen one in my entire life, but today itself, I’ve met three!”
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian had a grim expression on his face.
Han Xue Nai said in a hushed tone, “This Heavenly Python Elder stood next to Old Ancestor Qing Yue as soon as he arrived as though they’re already acquainted. Don’t tell me they plan to join forces?”
“That’s very likely. Otherwise, Old Ancestor Qing Yue wouldn’t be so confident that he’ll be able to kill all of us and snatch our Celestial Supreme Treasures even after he openly admitted that his strength is only on par with Duan Ling Tian,” Zhang Yi said worriedly.
“Two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials…” Feng Tian Wu, Mu Yi Yi, and Gan Ru Yan were beginning to get worried as well at this moment.
Duan Ling Tian no longer looked as carefree as before. He was confident in facing one Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, but he was not certain about two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the Heavenly Python Elder of Kun Man Sect from Vast Cloud Realm looked at Old Ancestor Qing Yue and said, “Brother Qing Yue, you and I agreed to kill Duan Ling Tian and his companions and their Celestial Supreme Treasures would be shared evenly between us. However, what if we can’t share it evenly between us? I don’t believe we’ve spoken about that.”
Upon hearing the Heavenly Python Elder’s words, Old Ancestor Qing Yue nodded. “Indeed, we didn’t speak about that.” He thought about it for a moment before he finally said, “What about this? If there’s an extra Celestial Supreme Treasure, we’ll each send out a disciple from our respective sect and let them battle it out. The winner will obtain the extra Celestial Supreme Treasure.”
“Sounds fair to me.” The Heavenly Python Elder nodded, agreeing with Old Ancestor Qing Yue’s suggestion.
Both of them spoke loudly as though no one was around.
Upon hearing their words, Han Xue Nai exclaimed, “Indeed. They’re working together!”
At this moment, many onlookers began to discuss among themselves as well.
“No wonder Old Ancestor Qing Yue is so confident right from the get-go even though he admitted his strength was evenly-matched with Duan Ling Tian.”
“It’s obvious now that his confidence comes from his alliance with the Heavenly Python Elder.”
“Even an actual Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial might not be able to deal with two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials who join forces, let alone Duan Ling Tian who’s only an Eminent Celestial who has strength comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.”
“What a pity! Duan Ling Tian is so powerful and highly talented, it’s a pity that he’ll have to die today.”
“Even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be greatly weakened. Who knows if he’s even able to ascend to the Devata Realm… It’s truly a pity!”
At this time, Duan Ling Tian looked at the two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials guardedly. He asked in a low voice, “I assume both of you have been here since a while ago and have been hiding?”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Old Ancestor Qing Yue narrowed his eyes and said in a deceptively light tone, “Correct. The Heavenly Python Elder and I have been here since a while ago. In fact, we were here before you even arrived. We saw you kill the strongest Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from Mouro Realm so we know your strength is comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. In fact, with your Celestial Technique that’s able to snatch Celestial Supreme Treasures, there’s a chance that a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial might not even be a match for you. However, if one Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial is not enough to deal with you, what about two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials?” Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian like prey.
“I have to say both of you are really patient to have waited until now.” Duan Ling Tian did not expect Old Ancestor Qing Yue and the Heavenly Python Elder had arrived so early and had witnessed everything.
The Heavenly Python Elder said, “We planned to join forces earlier to deal with the person who obtains the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. However, when you showed up, we decided to wait so we can deal with both of you. However, we didn’t expect…”
Duan Ling Tian interrupted the Heavenly Python Elder and said, “But you didn’t expect that I would get acquainted with another Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, right?”
“Indeed.” The Heavenly Python Elder was not mad at being interrupted. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was a dead man walking. There was no point in getting angry with a dead man.
Duan Ling Tian continued speaking, “Therefore, you waited until they left before you made a move.” He was confident in his speculation.
“You are very smart,” Old Ancestor Qing Yue said as he narrowed his eyes, “Unfortunately, no matter how smart you are, you’ll die here today. If you want to find something to blame just blame the fact that you and your companions possess so many Celestial Supreme Treasures…”
Duan Ling Tian could see the greed in Old Ancestor Qing Yue’s eyes. He asked, “I am very curious. Why did you choose me and my companions instead of the person who obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial? Is it because of the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial accompanying him?” It was not that he wished these two people had gone after Su Li and his companions, he was just genuinely curious.
“That’s a good question!” The Heavenly Python Elder said, “We chose you because we surmised that you have more Celestial Supreme Treasures. Moreover, although the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial is amazing, there’s nothing we can do to obtain it.”
