Chapter 2903: The Celestial King Attacks

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ji Fan, the former Arhat of the Blissful Sect, stared at Duan Ling Tian unblinkingly, trying to study Duan Ling Tian’s expression to see if he could glean anything about Duan Ling Tian’s thought about the breakthrough of Li Ping, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect. Currently, he felt as though his heart was in his mouth. If Duan Ling Tian was afraid of Li Ping who had become a Celestial King or was not a match of Li Ping, it meant he had essentially destroyed his own future since he had denounced the Blissful Sect. He would no longer be able to return as the Arhat of the Blissful Sect.

“Celestial King?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained unchanged even after he heard Ji Fan’s words. He surveyed the Blissful Sect’s estate indifferently before his eyes finally landed in the direction of where the voice came from. A small smile could be seen on his face.

Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian’s reaction, Ji Fan deduced Duan Ling Tian must feel confident, and he sighed in relief inwardly. It was obvious to him that Duan Ling Tian did not seem afraid of Li Ping who had just broken through and became a Celestial King!

“What happened? Why are all these men dead?” The loud and clear voice rang again. Obviously, he had just discovered the Blissful Sect’s disciples who were killed by the wave of Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy.

“He is here.” Duan Ling Tian’s gaze turned pointed. An old figure appeared before his eyes. The figure belonged to an old monk, and his speed was much faster than Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect. However, he was unsurprised. After all, that old monk, Li Ping, was the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect. Moreover, Li Ping had just announced he had become a Celestial King. ‘Li Ping… He was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke before this, but he has just become a Celestial King…’

Li Ping was now undoubtedly the strongest person in the Blissful Sect. After all, no one from the sect knew if they had quasi Celestial Kings protecting secretly. Even if these reclusive powerhouses were Celestial Kings, having stayed in the borderlands for so long, their cultivation bases would have deteriorated to that of a quasi Celestial King or a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. For this reason, they were definitely not a match for a real Celestial King like Li Ping who had just had a breakthrough.

Whoosh!

Moments later, everyone, excluding Duan Ling Tian, saw Li Ping seemingly appear out of thin air next to Liu Xuan Kong. With Duan Ling Tian’s current strength, he could, naturally, catch Li Ping’s movements.

“Congratulations, senior uncle, for breaking through and becoming a Celestial King!” Liu Xuan Kong immediately congratulated Li Ping as soon as Li Ping appeared!

“Congratulations, Old Ancestor!” The high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect followed in Liu Xuan Kong’s footsteps and quickly congratulated Li Ping when they regained their senses.

However, Li Ping ignored the words of congratulations as he looked at the corpses strewn on the ground “These are our Blissful Sect’s disciples… It seems like they were killed by a wave of Celestial Origin Energy?” Even before becoming a Celestial King, it would have been easy to determine the cause of the men’s death with his Divine Consciousness, let alone now that he had become a Celestial King. His voice gradually turned louder and louder in fury, striking fears into the hearts of the members of the Blissful Sect, as he said, “Who can tell me what happened?”

As soon as Li Ping finished speaking, he finally saw Ji Fan who was standing across him near Duan Ling Tian. He could tell something was amiss and was about to say something to Ji Fan when one of the elders of the Blissful Sect standing behind Liu Xuan Kong spoke up.

“Old Ancestor!” the elder of the Blissful Sect cried out in anger as he pointed at Ji Fan, “Ji Fan brought an outsider back to our sect and announced he’s cutting all ties with the Blissful Sect. All the men are killed by the man Ji Fan brought here!” After he finished speaking, he shifted his eyes to Duan Ling Tian who was standing in front of Ji Fan as he spoke.

“What?!” Li Ping’s expression changed drastically as a terrifying aura surged out of his body. It was the Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial King; it, naturally, sent chills running up the spines of the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect, including Liu Xuan Kong.

The high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect looked at each other and saw their fear in each other’s eyes. Although all of them were Celestial Dukes, they could clearly feel the threat Li Ping posed.

“So this is the Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial King?”

“A Celestial King is truly powerful!”

On the other hand, although Ji Fan’s cultivation base was weaker than those high-ranking officials from the Blissful Sect, he was not really affected since he was protected by Duan Ling Tian who was standing in front of him. Nevertheless, his face still turned deathly pale when he saw Li Ping looking at him coldly.

Then, Li Ping turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. All of a sudden, he extended his powerful One Basic Celestial King’s Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian. ‘He’s not even 100 years old?’ He was shocked to discover Duan Ling Tian’s age. He quickly tried to probe Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base as well, but he yielded no result. Then, he turned to the elder who had spoken earlier and asked with a chilling grin on his face, “You said he’s the one who killed our sect’s disciples?” His tone turned more and more pointed as he continued to say, “Someone who’s not even 100 years old killed so many of our sect’s disciples in front of all of you, and yet, all of you are standing motionlessly like a puppet?”

The elder from the Blissful Sect broke out in cold sweat, but he remained silent, too afraid to speak.

At this moment, Liu Xuan King said in a somber tone, “Senior uncle, don’t underestimate him just because of his age. He’s actually stronger than me… If I’m not mistaken, he’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke at least. In fact, there’s a possibility that he’s a Celestial King.” When he finished speaking, he looked at Duan Ling Tian warily.

“A Ten Directions Celestial Duke or a Celestial King?” Li Ping was stunned by Liu Xuan Kong’s words. He instinctively turned to look at Duan Ling Tian skeptically and said with a sneer, “Him? It’d be easy for me, Li Ping, to kill a brat who isn’t even 100 years old with my little finger!” As soon as he finished speaking, his Celestial Origin Energy began to rage before they converged in his right hand. Li Ping, the Celestial King, had finally begun to attack.

Bang!

Li Ping pushed his right hand out before his Celestial Origin Energy shot toward Duan Ling Tian’s head with a terrifying momentum.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Celestial Origin Energy was palpable and seemed like tens of thousands of soldiers stampeding in the air; it left a series of explosions in its wake as it shot toward Duan Ling Tian.

At the crucial moment…

“The Immobilization King Method!” A golden light appeared on the surface of Duan Ling Tian’s skin. Then, in just a blink of an eye, it grew in size and formed the shape of a Buddha as it shrouded Duan Ling Tian, effectively protecting him.

Bam!

A deafening sound rang in the air as Li Ping’s palm attack landed on the golden silhouette of the Golden Buddha. The golden Buddha shield only rippled, but it remained unbreached. It was like a powerful guardian, loyally protecting Duan Ling Tian.

“The Immobilization King Method? W-who are you? How did you master the Blissful Sect’s Celestial Method?” Although Li Ping did not use much strength in his attack, he was still stunned to see someone who was less than 100 years old surviving his attack. Most importantly, he was thoroughly shocked by the Celestial Method Duan Ling Tian had used. Was that not the Blissful Sect’s triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method, the Immobilization King Method! Moreover, based on what he could see, it was obvious that Duan Ling Tian had completely mastered the Immobilization King Method.

“Senior uncle,” Liu Xuan Kong said to remind Li Ping, “He’s the one who won our Blissful Sect’s Immobilization Celestial Method during the Alchemy Conference… He’s Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!” He continued to say in a tone that grew increasingly grim, “I… I suspect he’s probably the one who killed my master!”

“What?! He… He’s the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Chief Celestial Alchemist? The brat who’s not even 100 years but is recognized as the best prominent grade Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions? What’s the meaning of this? Didn’t you say he’s an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?” Although Li Ping did not attend the Alchemy Conference, the others had reported everything that happened during the Alchemy Conference.
