After Jiang Lan killed two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, who had comprehended three profundities of a law and in the process of comprehending the fourth one, with a strike each, Duan Ling Tian, Ling Jue Yun, and even Lin Fei Yan were not surprised.
This was within Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun’s expectations. After all, as a reincarnated Celestial Emperor, although Jiang Lan was less than 100 years old, he had already comprehended four profundities from the law of water. His strength was two times greater than peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
On Lin Fei Yang’s side, as soon as he saw Jiang Lan’s Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, he did not doubt if Jiang Lan wanted him dead, then, he would die. Moreover, he was aware Jiang Lan would not need more than a strike to kill him. Therefore, when he witnessed Jiang Lan effortlessly killing the two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, he did not feel surprised and felt that it was a matter of course. In his opinion, the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon was a big part of Jiang Lan’s strength. In fact, he even thought that if he was the one who possessed the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, he would be able to defeat Jiang Lan even if his strength and combat experience were far lacking compared to Jiang Lan. After all, Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons were extremely powerful; it was much more powerful than Royal Grade Celestial Weapons. How could the King Grade Celestial Weapon he possessed compare to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon?
After killing the two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, Jiang Lan finally turned his attention to Duan Ling Tian. A sneer appeared on his face as he said contemptuously, “So, what do you think? If you have the guts, fight me with the combined power of your Royal Grade Celestial Weapons…”
However, when he looked at Duan Ling Tian’s face, his expression stiffened a little. He had assumed Duan Ling Tian would be terrified and fall into despair after he revealed everything. He even thought Duan Ling Tian would kneel and beg him to spare his life like the young man earlier. It was beyond his expectation that Duan Ling Tian would look at him calmly, devoid of fear.
Duan Ling Tian met Jiang Lan’s gaze and asked indifferently, “What? You’re going to kill me next?”
Jiang Lan quickly regained his senses. He rationalized that Duan Ling Tian was just putting up a front and was actually trembling in fear inwardly. The sneer on his face deepened as he said, “To think you’re putting up front even at the end of your life. You should’ve learned from that young man earlier. If I were in a good mood, I might have spared you.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as Jiang Lan finished speaking, a violent raging flame surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s body before it completely engulfed him. After that, the flame surged even higher, burning hotter and hotter, as though it intended to destroy everything in its path!
‘Hmm?’ Uponsensing the aura of Duan Ling Tian’s flames, Jiang Lan’s eyes that were flashing with a cruel light narrowed slightly. “This is the law of fire’s Burning Profundity? You were concealing your strength?” He did not expect the person in front of him, whom he had thought only comprehended two profundities from the law of fire and was fortunate enough to obtain two extraordinary Royal Grade Celestial Weapons, had concealed his strength! Not only did the person in front of him comprehend the law of fire’s Fire Elemental Profundity and the Pillaging Profundity, but he had even comprehended the Burning Profundity!
In the next moment, the flames around Duan Ling Tian seemed to be exploding into dazzling sparks.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Lan’s eyes widened. He was stunned. ‘The Explosion Profundity? So, he has comprehended three profundities from the law of fire and is in the process of comprehending the fourth one?’ He did not expect Duan Ling Tian was also a monstrous talent like Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang.
Meanwhile, Lin Fei Yang was similarly shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s strength. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian was not any weaker than himself. Moreover, he had yet to factor in Duan Ling Tian’s two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons that were almost comparable to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. Taking everything into account, it would be as easy as flicking a finger if Duan Ling Tian wanted to kill him.
“Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to conceal yourself so deeply. Your innate talent and comprehension skills are not inferior to Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang.” Jiang Lan, who was about to attack, paused for a moment to appreciate Duan Ling Tian’s strength and talent. “However, even if we don’t factor in our Celestial Weapons, I’m stronger than you. With my Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, my strength far surpasses yours!”
Jiang Lan soared up into the sky after he finished speaking. He looked at the remaining three survivors and said, “I’ll give three of you a chance of survival…” He paused for a beat before he continued to say, “As long three of you allow me to brand the enslavement mark on your souls, I’ll spare your lives. Not only that, but if three of you submit to me, you will also be given a chance to compete for a Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. The fruit will belong the strongest among the three of you.” Then, as though he just recalled something, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Naturally, when three of you compete for the fruit, Duan Ling Tian’s not allowed to use his pair of Royal Grade Celestial Weapons.”
‘Enslavement mark?’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned slightly unsightly. He knew that once one was branded with an enslavement mark, it could not be removed at all unless the person who branded the mark removed it. With the mark, one had to obey every wish and command of the person who branded the mark.
Lin Fei Yang was the first one to speak up. He said loudly, “Dream on! You want me to submit to you and let you brand my soul with the enslavement mark? Impossible! I’d rather die!”
Then, Ling Jue Yun sneered before he said, “What a load of nonsense!”
Finally, Duan Ling Tian added with a sneer, “If I allow you to brand my soul, even if I obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit and become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, what use would it be? It’d be meaningless!”
Upon hearing the trio’s response, Jiang Lan clicked his tongue. “It seems like the three of you are intent on dying!” Although he had somewhat expected this outcome, he still could not help but laugh.
“In that case, I’ll send three of you on your way and keep the two Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit!” As soon as Jiang Lan finished speaking, a blue saber ray shot out from the crystal saber in his hand. It lit up the cave with a blue light. “Die!”
Lin Fei Yang’s eyes glinted with determination. His figure flashed as he charged out like a dragon breaking out of the surface of the sea.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun made their moves as well.
It was as though they had come to a tacit agreement beforehand. Without needing to speak, the trio knew their chances of survival would rise if they joined forces.
Upon seeing the trio charging at him, Jiang Lan remained unaffected. Then, he said, “Ling Jue Yun, Lin Fei Yang, I’m going to kill Duan Ling Tian first. Consider my proposition during this time. If you change your minds, don’t hesitate to speak up. Otherwise, it might be too late for regrets!” After he finished speaking, he seemed to fall deep into thoughts for a brief moment. Surprisingly, he showed signs of compromising as he said, “Both of you. Think about it; it’s meaningless for both of you to throw your lives away… If you submit to me, I promise I’ll remove the enslavement marks on your souls once I become a Celestial Emperor again!”
However, Ling Jue Yun or Lin Fei Yang’s replies were only the surges in their auras as they continued charging forward.
Currently, Ling Jue Yun maintained his strength from earlier; he was still concealing his strength.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who was Jiang Lan’s target, raised his hand. In the next moment, a beam of seven-color light shot out of Duan Ling Tian’s hand. It was the divine artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. The sword’s dazzling seven-color light lit up the entire cave, overshadowing the blue light from Jiang Lan’s crystal saber.
“This….”
At this moment, armor appeared around Jiang Lan’s body, easily deflecting Lin Fei Yang and Ling Jue Yun’s attacks. He did not spare the duo a glance and was instead, looking at the sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand intently. “Duan Ling Tian, this is truly surprising! I thought you’re pretty lucky when I saw your pair of Royal Grade Celestial Weapons. Who would have thought that you possess an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon as well? Your luck truly exceeded my expectations.” A hint of greed could be seen in his eyes when he looked at the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand.
In Jiang Lan’s previous life, although he was a Celestial Emperor, in his entire lifetime, he only had one Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. It was the crystal saber in his hand. Moreover, not every Celestial Emperor had an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. After all, the requirements to forge an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon were not only harsh on the Celestial Weapon Craftsman, but the forging materials were incredibly rare as well.
Apart from Jiang Lan’s crystal saber, his armor was just a purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Regardless, it was enough to deflect Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang’s attacks for a while.
Meanwhile, Lin Fei Yang’s expression was one of disbelief as he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian once the seven-color light appeared. “Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!” Coupled with his strange and unexplained feeling of camaraderie for Duan Ling Tian when they just met, he wondered about Duan Ling Tian’s identity. What kind of person would possess an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon?
“Why? Are you the only one who’s allowed to possess an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon?” Duan Ling Tian sneered. He was not surprised Jiang Lan mistook the divine artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, as an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. After all, the sword’s current might was only comparable to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. Apart from that, he had no intention of correcting Jiang Lan’s misunderstanding.
“I have to admit your innate talent and comprehension skills are incredibly high. Not only that, but your luck is enviable as well! Alas, your luck has run out today. You’re going to die, and your Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon will belong to me!” Jiang Lan said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian’s sword covetously. Then, he shot forward toward Duan Ling Tian as a blindingly bright saber ray shot out of his crystal saber.
After Jiang Lan killed two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, who had comprehended three profundities of a law and in the process of comprehending the fourth one, with a strike each, Duan Ling Tian, Ling Jue Yun, and even Lin Fei Yan were not surprised.
