Upon hearing the discussions in his surroundings, the grey-clad young man did not agree nor disagree. Hell die for sure? Duan Ling Tian isnt that weak...
Due to his extraordinary background, he prided himself on being a good judge of character. When he first saw Duan Ling Tian, he had sensed a familiar aura from Duan Ling Tian. Although he was not sure what aura it was, he could tell it was similar to his clan and the realm he was from. He muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear, The aura feels like the aura of an artifact, but its not exactly the same either... It feels like something is missing.
As soon as the grey-clad young man finished speaking, a female voice rang in his mind. The voice was mellifluous but bone-chillingly cold at the same time. The soul of the artifact is missing.
Sister Huanger, youre awake?! Upon hearing the female voice, the grey-clad young man widened his eyes in excitement.
Yes. The mellifluous and cold voice rang again. Ive already regained consciousness when you first met him. However, at that time, I couldnt communicate with you. After a pause, the woman spoke up again. Little Feng, youve grown up.
Upon hearing these words, the grey-clad young mans eyes reddened. He had unknowingly clenched his hands as he said, Sister Huanger, one day, Ill avenge you and the clan!
I believe you... the woman said, Ill help you as well...
Sister Huanger, you... The grey-clad young mans eyes flashed as he spoke.
However, before he could finish speaking, the woman interjected. Little Feng, I plan to fuse with the artifact in Duan Ling Tians body and become the soul of that artifact.
T-The soul of the artifact in his body?! Upon hearing the womans words, the grey-clad young mans eyes widened in shock, and his expression changed drastically. Sister Huanger, you... youre the soul of a prominent artifact. Not even a mediocre artifact is worthy of you, let alone a primitive artifact... Then, he looked at the purple-clad young man before he asked in a trembling voice, Is it... Is it possible that the soulless artifact in Duan Ling Tians body is a prominent artifact?
Youve heard of the artifact in his body before... the woman said.
Ive heard of it? The gray-clad youth was stunned. Then, his eyes brightened as he said, Sister Huanger, youre saying that... the artifact in Duan Ling Tians body is not just a prominent artifact, but a prominent artifact from the Divine Offering Land. Am I right?
The artifact in his body is called the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword! the woman replied.
What?! The... T-the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword?! The grey-clad young mans eyes widened in shock. That sword... Isnt it in the possession of Xia Jie, the third master of the Xia Clan? Why is it in Duan Ling Tians body?
The gray-clad young man had, naturally, heard about the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. Almost everyone from the Divine Offering Land had heard of it. The Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword was famous not because of how outstanding it was among prominent artifacts but because its original owner was very famous in the Divine Offering Land.
You have to ask him about this... However, since he has the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, it shows that he has a special relationship with Xia Jie, the woman said, If you can befriend Xia Jie through him, youll have a powerful ally helping you when you seek revenge in the future... The Xia Clans third master is quite strong after all.
Sister Huanger... The grey-clad young man trembled slightly. The woman was the soul of the artifact that his elder sister used to carry around in the past. After the artifacts body was destroyed, the seriously injured soul escaped and hid in his body. Then, it guided him to escape from his destroyed clan and the Divine Offering Land to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, one of the 81 Devata Realms.
Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, not privy to the grey-clad young man and the womans conversation. Otherwise, he would be surprised by the way the woman had addressed the grey-clad young man. After all, based on what Duan Ling Tian knew, the grey-clad young mans name did not contain the word Feng.
....
Meanwhile, another person had appeared near the grey-clad young man. This person was also one of the participants who was fighting fiercely in one of the halls earlier. He had just passed the trial and walked into this hall not long ago. When he looked into the hall where most people were gathered in front of, he recognized Duan Ling Tian immediately. Duan Ling Tian?
This young man was none other than Xue Jing Yu, the Second Prince of the Southern Qi Nation. Previously, he had fought with Duan Ling Tian before entering the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. He was also a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended the law of thunders Fundamental Profundity, the Thunder Elemental Profundity. Due to his strength, he managed to survive thus far.
Cheating? Xue Jing Yu was shocked when he heard the discussions in his surroundings. He was shocked to find out that Duan Ling Tian was being punished during the first trial in the Celestial Lord Temple for cheating.
They think hell die for sure? Xue Jing Yu sneered when he heard several people saying Duan Ling Tian would certainly die. He was aware that Duan Ling Tian was not as weak as these people thought.
However, that battle soul is truly strong. Its attack is much stronger than mine during our battle... However, I dont think its attack is strong enough to breach Duan Ling Tians defenses. Back then, Duan Ling Tian had easily stopped my attack! Moreover, at that time, he didnt have a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon. Now that he has a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon, his defense must have grown even more formidable. That battle soul wont be able to break his defenses! As long as Duan Ling Tian takes advantage of the time when the battle soul is attacking him, hell be able to kill the battle soul. Naturally, it carries a risk as well! Xue Jing Yu was thoroughly convinced of his defeat by Duan Ling Tians hand. He was rather certain Duan Ling Tian would be able to kill the battle soul.
If it were me, I would be easily killed by that battle soul. After seeing the strength of the battle soul Duan Ling Tian faced, he knew he was no match for the battle soul. He was unlike Duan Ling Tian who had comprehended two profundities from the law of earth. Moreover, the other law of earths profundity was a defensive profundity.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian no longer attacked the battle soul head-on. Instead, just as Xue Jing Yu had speculated, he allowed the battle soul to attack him. In the next moment, the Red Scale Vest appeared on his body. At the same time, he took the chance and slashed with his giant sword at lightning speed.
The battle soul that was in the midst of attacking could not defend itself from Duan Ling Tians attack. It did not stop and continued on its trajectory to cut Duan Ling Tian down. Its only purpose was to kill Duan Ling Tian; it had no regard for its life at all.
Upon seeing this, the spectators gasped in shock. Did the purple-clad young man plan to die along with the battle soul? He must know that this move would kill him even if he managed to kill the battle soul, right?
However, the subsequent progress was out of their expectations!
On the contrary, Xue Jing Yu smiled faintly, looking smug that he had guessed correctly. I knew it.
Meanwhile, the grey-clad young man who was having a conversation with the soul of the artifact in his mind regained his senses when he heard the exclamations in his surroundings.
Heavens! What a terrifyingly strong defense!
He blocked the full attack from the battle soul just by using his defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon? How did he do it?!
His defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon doesnt look like it had been nurtured by a Celestial Lord. In fact, even if it had been nurtured by a Celestial Lord, it still wouldnt be able to completely stop the attack of that battle soul, right?
He must have comprehended the second profundity from the law of earth! Moreover, the second profundity must be a defensive profundity. Otherwise, his defenses wont be so terrifyingly strong!
After hearing these words, the grey-clad young man saw the battle soul had attacked Duan Ling Tian with all its strength but failed to penetrate the red vest on Duan Ling Tians body. At the same time, Duan Ling Tians explosive attack managed to completely destroy the battle soul.
This guy... is terrifying!
Hes too terrifying! I dont think there are many people who can breach his defense, right?
Whos he? Hows he so insanely strong? Ive never heard of him before.
That young man called out his name earlier... Maybe he knows him?
With that, everyone looked at Xue Jing Yu inquiringly.
Xue Jing Yu calmly said without any prompt, His name is Duan Ling Tian. Hes a genius sectless cultivator whos representing the Supporting Fall Nation in the Thousand Nations Territory.
A genius sectless cultivator representing the Supporting Fall Nation in the Thousand Nations Territory?
Most people were shocked by Xue Jing Yus words. They had assumed Duan Ling Tian had come from a grade-seven force after witnessing his strength.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who had just passed the trial entered the hall where everyone was gathered.
Huh? He did not expect to see so many people after he walked out of the hall. Moreover, he even recognized two of the people there. They were none other than Xue Jing Yu, the Second Prince of the Southern Qi Nation, and Ling Jue Yun, the genius sectless cultivator from the East Ming Nation.
