War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 2781 - The Death of the Celestial Duke

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Is it possible that hes even more skilled than the few prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?

Expressions of shock and disbelief could be seen on everyones faces as their eyes darted from Duan Ling Tian to Tie Tai He. They felt that Tie Tai He, as the Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, would not speak empty words, even more so now that he had become a Seven Stars Celestial Duke. A Seven Stars Celestial Duke is considered the strongest powerhouse in the entire Wasteland. Someone like that would not risk losing the few prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect if the pros did not outweigh the con by a lot. For this reason, many of the onlookers were convinced that Duan Ling Tian had to be extraordinary and more skilled than the few prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

Teng Qing, an elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect wondered to himself with an expression of disbelief. Is he such a skilled prominent Celestial Alchemist? Then, he dismissed his thought and shook his head as he thought to himself, Impossible, impossible... Theres no mistake hes younger than 100 years old. Its impressive enough that hes a prominent Celestial Alchemist. However, its impossible for him to be more skilled than the few prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!

Several people shared the same thoughts as Teng Qing after they determined Duan Ling Tian was younger than 100 years old. Regardless if Duan Ling Tian was more skilled than ordinary prominent Celestial Alchemists, they thought it was a huge feat that he managed to become a prominent Celestial Alchemist even though he was younger than 100 years old. They had never even heard of someone like that in the Spirit Overarching Heaven, let alone the Wasteland. Perhaps, they were just ignorant, but it did not change the fact that Duan Ling Tian was the only one they knew who was a prominent Celestial Alchemist who was younger than 100 years old!

For him to become a prominent Celestial Alchemist even before he reached the age of 100, he must have obtained the prominent Celestial Fire through sheer luck. With his age, its likely hes not very skilled. I dont think he can compare to the older and more experienced prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect! Teng Qing thought to himself in an attempt to console himself.

After all, if Duan Ling Tian was, indeed, more skilled than the few prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Teng Qing would definitely get into trouble. After due to his actions, he had caused the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect to lose a skilled prominent Celestial Alchemist. At that time, the Sect Leader and high-ranking officials in the sect would definitely be displeased and rebuke him. In a further attempt to reassure himself, he thought Tie Tai Hes promise to make Duan Ling Tian the Chief of Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was just an empty promise made to tempt Duan Ling Tian into joining the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

A prominent Celestial Alchemist below a hundred years old... Logically speaking he would not have a high alchemy level right?

Naturally, he wont! Experience is important in pill refining. How skilled could be be when hes so young?

Most of the onlookers who were present on the scene, naturally, shared somewhat similar thoughts with Teng Qing. Apart from the very few that knew Duan Ling Tian was capable of refining the prominent Celestial Pill such as Long Fei Yun, Qiu Ling, Tie Tai He, and Huaner, the Overarching Heaven Pill, everyone was convinced that Duan Ling Tian could not be more skilled compared to the few prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. All of them discussed among themselves.

I think theres no need to take Guardian Ties words seriously. Its unlikely that the Tai Yi Sect would appoint someone whos not even 100 years old to become the Chief of the Celestial Alchemists. Moreover, how could someone whos younger than 100 years old be more skilled and experienced than the prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!

I agree, Guardian Tie is likely just making an empty promise to coax him into joining the Tai Yi Celestial Sect... Once the young man joins the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Guardian Tie can also come up with an excuse that the other prominent Guardian Celestial Alchemists are dissatisfied and would like to challenge him. Its natural he wouldnt be able to best the older and more experienced prominent Celestial Alchemists.

Guardian Tie is, indeed, the Left Guardian of Tai Yi Celestial Sect. What a cunning and a good plan.

Since they had been apart for quite a while, Qin Yu was, naturally, unaware that Duan Ling Tian was capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill.

Duan Ling Tian ignored the discussions in the surroundings and looked at Tie Tai He as he calmly said, Guardian Tie, I dont want to hear flattering words. I have no problem with joining the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, but... He paused for a moment before he looked at Teng Qing, the elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, Xue Lang, the Guardian of the Thousand Spiders Sect, and Huang Chao, the elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect before he continued to say, Youd need to show some sincerity!

Then, Duan Ling Tian looked at Tie Tai He meaningfully before looking at the three people from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland again.

Although Teng Qing and Xue Lang knew Duan Ling Tian was displeased with them, even if Tie Tai Hes presence, they were not particularly afraid. After all, they were not from Tie Tai Hes sect. They had the support of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect so they were not worried.

On the contrary, Huang Chaos face paled and his expression changed drastically when he saw Duan Ling Tian glanced at him.

Of course. Tie Tai He, naturally, knew what Duan Ling Tian meant when he saw Duan Ling Tian glancing at the Teng Qing, Xue Lang, and Huang Chao. It was so brief and fleeting that many people failed to notice the cold killing intent that flashed in his eyes at this moment.

Hum!

A humming noise reverberated in the air, shocking everyone.

When they finally regained their senses, they were shocked by the sight that greeted their eyes.

Huang Chao, the elder from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had been vertically cut into two from his head down. It took but a moment before blood poured out of his body as though a dam. A powerful force seemed to scatter the blood, causing it to rain down. Just like that, Huang Chao, the elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and a Two Forms Celestial Duke was dead!

Hm? Even Duan Ling Tian was surprised by how decisive Tie Tai He was. He did not expect Tie Tai He would not hesitate at all to kill an elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

Meanwhile, the onlookers gulped as they looked at Tie Tai He with fear brimming in their eyes. How strong was a Seven Star Celestial Duke? He had easily killed a Two Forms Celestial Duke while he was talking and laughing!

For most people, a Two Forms Celestial Duke was an invincible being. However, in the eyes of a Seven Star Celestial Duke, it was as easy as killing a chicken to kill a Two Form Celestial Duke

Huang Chao is dead?

He... He killed a Two Form Celestial Duke who was an elder from his own sect because of an outsider?

Meanwhile, Teng Qing and Xue Langs expressions changed when they regained their senses. They only expected Huang Chao to be given a slap on the wrist as a punishment. It was far from their expectations that Tie Tai He would unhesitantly kill Huang Chao. Based on this, they realized that they had underestimated Duan Ling Tians importance to Tie Tai.

At this moment, Tie Tai He looked at Duan Ling Tian after killing Huang Chao and bluntly said, Celestial Alchemist Duan! Since Huang Chao is a member of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, its within my right to punish him as I see fit without any consequences. However, regarding people from other sects, Id need a casus belli. Id need you to make a stance. For example, if youre the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, what these two people had done could be considered as a slight and a sign of disrespect to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect... As he spoke, his murderous gaze was trained on Teng Qing and Xue Lang.

Teng Qing and Xue Lang turned pale and began to panic.

Although Tie Tai He did not specifically tell Duan Ling Tian what needed to be done, it was as though they had a tacit understanding. Therefore, he said without any hesitation, Ill join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

A smile bloomed on Tie Tai Hes face as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tians words. Duan Ling Tian, on behalf of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, we welcome you.

Contrary to the warm voice Tie Tai He had used when he spoke to Duan Ling Tian, his voice had turned freezing cold as he said to Teng Qing and Xue Lang, Celestial Alchemist Duan is the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial!

In just an instant, Teng Qing and Xue Langs expression turned grim as an ominous feeling rose in their hearts after they heard Tie Tai Hes words.

Whoosh!

Teng Qing made an attempt to flee this dangerous situation.

Meanwhile, although Xue Lang did not try to flee, he quickly used his status in the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect to deter Tie Tai He. Guardian Tie, Im the Guardian of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, you cannot...

Hum!

The humming of saber rang in the air, cutting of Xue Langs words and just as Teng Qing tried to escape.

Soon after that, they followed in Huang Chaos footsteps. Their bodies were split in two as blood surged out like a torrential rain.

Everyone fell deathly quiet at the sight of this. Even the splattering of the blood on the ground could be heard. Despite their silence, shock and disbelief could be seen on their faces, and their eyes were filled with anxiety and fear as they looked at tIE Tai He and Duan Ling Tian. How could they not be shocked or frightened? Tie Tai He had killed three Celestial Dukes in just a blink of an eye for Duan Ling Tians sake. A Three Talent Celestial Duke and two Two Form Celestial Dukes who were mighty in their eyes had just been killed in a blink of an eye. The cause of three peoples deaths was all due to Duan Ling Tian who was not even 100 years old. What was so special about Duan Ling Tian? Was it really just because he was a prominent Celestial Alchemist? However, how skilled could he be as a prominent Celestial Alchemist when he was not even 100 years old?
