Two King Grade Celestial Weapons!
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the five participants, including Xue Jing Yu, frowned slightly. They felt he was rather quite demanding. Nevertheless, none of them dared to voice their dissatisfaction. At the very least, Duan Ling Tian did not intend to take all three King Grade Celestial Weapons.
On the other hand, the three clueless participants who did not witness Duan Ling Tian’s strength did not hide their displeasure.
One of the three men, a middle-aged man, looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked with a dark expression on his face, “Lad, don’t you think you’re being too greedy?”
“Do you have an opinion about it?” Duan Ling Tian looked at the man meaningfully before the other two men could chime in.
“You’re not even 100 years old. Why do you need two King Grade Celestial Weapons? Are you even capable of keeping them?” the middle-aged man asked coldly as he glared at Duan Ling Tian. He had discovered Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old, but he was oblivious to Duan Ling Tian’s strength. There were many talented powerhouses below the age of 100 in the history of the Profound Nether Mansion, but the strongest among them was only as strong as him.
“Not even 100 years old?” Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, a young man, one of three clueless participants, extended his Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian. Then, he turned to the other five participants, including Xue Jing Yu, and said disdainfully, “It’s true! He’s not even 100 years old! You lot are terrified of a brat who’s not even 100 years old? Cowards!”
The five participants were not embarrassed nor were they angry when the young man mocked them. Instead, they looked at him as though he was an idiot. This young man’s strength was roughly on par with theirs; he had only comprehended one profundity of a law.
“Does this mean both of you plan to go against me?” Duan Ling Tian looked at the young man, the corner of his lips was lifted up into a smirk.
“Brat, quit playing games with me! If you want the two King Grade Celestial Weapons, you’ll have to go through me first!” the young man retorted, clearly not taking Duan Ling Tian seriously.
Duan Ling Tian did not reply to the young man. Instead, he looked at the final man from the group of three. This man was the participant who had walked out of the hall when Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun walked out of another hall earlier. “What about you? Are you planning to go against me as well?”
The man looked at Duan Ling Tian, recalling the other five participants’ discussion earlier.
“It’s true. They’re under 100 years old!”
“Both of them are under 100 years old! Heavens! Who are they? They’re so talented even at such a young age… Can you imagine how strong they would become in the future?”
“Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun… If they don’t die an untimely death, they’ll definitely become formidable characters in the future!”
“Based on their innate talents and high comprehension skills, even the Profound Nether Mansion would be too small for them. The Southern Heaven Territory is where they belong!”
After he recalled the conversations he heard, the man remained silent when faced with Duan Ling Tian’s inquiry.
“Seems like you’re the only one with no opinion among the three.” Duan Ling Tian glanced at the man briefly before he shifted his eyes to the other two men and faintly said, “Since both of you are dissatisfied, why don’t you attack me together?” As soon as he finished speaking, his body flickered out of sight, leaving the ground shaking in his wake.
Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian suddenly appeared in front of the middle-aged man and young man who were dissatisfied with him wanting two King Grade Celestial Weapons.
“Attack together?” the young man laughed before he said disdainfully, “Lad, I can defeat you by myself!”
“Really? I can’t wait to see what you’ve got,” Duan Ling Tian grinned.
The young man scoffed and charged toward Duan Ling Tian at lightning speed. A short knife, a King Grade Celestial Weapon, appeared in his hand. Its aura that was cold and domineering spread into the surroundings. From this alone, one could tell it was not an ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapon. It was a purely offensive King Grade Celestial Weapon that had been nurtured by a Celestial Lord! The young man cast all his Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities before sending his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the law of metal’s profundity into the short knife that he wielded. In just an instant, the short knife gleamed with a golden light, and its aura intensified.
‘The law of metal’s Fundamental Profundity, the Metal Elemental Profundity?’ Once Duan Ling Tian sensed the sharp aura from the young man’s Celestial Origin Energy, it was not difficult for him to guess that the young man had comprehended the law of metal.
The law of metal was an offensive law, and its profundities were mostly offensive skills. Its Fundamental Profundity, the Metal Elemental Profundity, could increase the sharpness of one’s Celestial Weapon and Celestial Origin Energy.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Celestial Knife shot out qis that were as dazzlingly bright as the sun as the young man drew closer to Duan Ling Tian. The short knife shone even brighter than before, like the sun that could vanquish the darkness, capturing everyone’s attention.
Duan Ling Tian leisurely flew in the air to meet the incoming attack. His Celestial Origin Energy that was boosted by the law of earth’s Earth Elemental Profundity surged out of his body as he cast his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. His Celestial Origin Energy surged into a giant sword that had suddenly appeared in his hand. The giant sword’s aura was too overwhelming!
Upon seeing this, the young man narrowed his eyes, and his expression turned solemn. ‘He has comprehended the law of earth’s Fundamental Profundity, the Earth Elemental Profundity?’ Nonetheless, he was not surprised. After all, those who were able to pass the trial and made it this far would have strength on par with his. He could not say for certain if Duan Ling Tian or he was stronger.
‘Although he has comprehended the law of earth’s Earth Elemental Profundity, he’s not even 100 years old. His battle experience must be lesser than mine. No matter how I see it, I have the advantage!’ With this thought in mind, the young man’s confidence was boosted. He was rather confident about his victory.
Alas, the young man’s confidence did not last long. It was soon replaced by shock. ‘H-how’s that possible? I-is he seeking death?’ His eyes widened when he saw Duan Ling Tian charging at him head-on with no intention of dodging his attack. He had assumed Duan Ling Tian would deflect his attack with his giant sword. However, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian had chosen to disregard his life just to land a blow on him. It was as though Duan Ling Tian intended for them to die together! He could see the determination in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes so he did not think Duan Ling Tian was bluffing.
“You’re insane!” the young man cried out when he regained his sense. He swiftly moved to avoid Duan Ling Tian’s attack. For this reason, the force of his attack was greatly reduced.
The diminished force from the young man’s attack swept toward Duan Ling Tian and was easily deflected by the Red Scale Vest on Duan Ling Tian’s body.
Although the young man had successfully evaded Duan Ling Tian’s attack, by doing that, he had given Duan Ling Tian the upper hand. He tried to retaliate with all his might, but he found that Duan Ling Tian had no intention of avoiding his attacks like earlier. With this, the young man grew more and more passive in the battle. Eventually, when he attacked for the third time, he decided not to dodge Duan Ling Tian’s attack anymore and charged forward.
“I’d like to see if you’re truly courageous enough to die along with me!” the young man cried out as he mustered up all his strength and attacked Duan Ling Tian.
Alas, the young man could not breach Duan Ling Tian’s defense at all. The Red Scale Vest on Duan Ling Tian’s body that emitted a mustard light seemed invincible. It had been boosted by the Chaos Divine Earth, after all.
“You… Y-you… Y-you’ve comprehended the law of earth’s second profundity?” The young man’s expression changed drastically. Realization finally dawned on him. He finally realized why the other five participants were so fearful of Duan Ling Tian to the point that they were willing to give up two King Grade Celestial Weapons to Duan Ling Tian without a fight. As it turned out, Duan Ling Tian had comprehended a defensive profundity from the law of earth.
Boom!
A wave of regret overwhelmed the young man as Duan Ling Tian brought his giant sword down on the young man, easily breaching the young man’s defense.
