Chapter 2914: The Death of A Ten Directions Celestial Duke from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect

After being informed by his subordinate that Duan Ling Tian was most likely a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, knew that although the sect had three Ten Directions Celestial Dukes, they might not be able to kill Duan Ling Tian at all. Moreover, how was it possible for a Ten Directions Celestial Duke under the age of 100 to have come from an ordinary background? What were the chances that someone like that was a transcender? These questions bothered him. He knew even if the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect was able to kill Duan Ling Tian, they would need to consider the consequences. For this reason, he had offered to compromise earlier. He had hoped to solve this peacefully. However, Duan Ling Tian’s request to summon Bai Yu Xuan, his son, here was tantamount to asking him to choose between his son’s life and the sect’s wellbeing.

One of the twins, a green-clad middle-aged man who was also an Old Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, scoffed before he said, “Master Duan, my junior nephew has been magnanimous to you, but you’ve overstepped the line!” He had spoken up because he knew Bai Wu Ji was in a dilemma.

“I’ve overstepped the line?” Duan Ling Tian laughed uproariously when he heard the green-clad middle-aged man’s words.

“Why are you laughing?” the green-clad middle-aged man asked. His expression soured before it turned icy-cold.

“Why am I laughing? Do I need to report to you?” Duan Ling Tian retorted nonchalantly as he briefly glanced at the green-clad middle-aged man.

Flames of fury rose in the green-clad middle-aged man’s heart and danced in the depths of his eyes. He was infuriated by Duan Ling Tian’s words. Since he had broken through and became a Ten Directions Celestial Duke and the Old Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, he had never been blatantly disrespected until today when he met Duan Ling Tian.

“Who do you think you are?” Duan Ling Tian added again.

These words kindled the flames of fury rising in the green-clad middle-aged man’s heart. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back; he completely lost control of his temper. He said furiously, “Impudent! How dare you speak to me in such a rude manner! I, Zhou Ming, would love to see what you’re made of, you brat!” As soon as he finished speaking, purple Celestial Origin Energy spiked and surged out of his body before he was shrouded by a purple flame. He had cast the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s triple-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability, the Eastern Purple Qi. This was the Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian had gained from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect during the Alchemy Conference.

“Brat, here I come!” The green-clad middle-aged man’s voice rang the air as his Celestial Origin Energy gathered and transformed into a giant purple sword. The purple sword sailed in the air like an arrow released from its bow toward Duan Ling Tian. It left ripples in its wake as it flew in the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The massive purple sword split into tens of thousands of purple sword qi all of a sudden as it shot toward Duan Ling Tian before they merged into one again. However, unlike its previous giant form, it had shrunk to a size that was even smaller than the smallest sword qi. Its color had also turned a purple so dark that it was almost black.

Whoosh!

Its speed increased at an alarming rate. It seemed even faster than what a Ten Directions Celestial Duke was capable of after it merged again. The movements of the green-clad middle-aged man, Zhou Ming, could only be seen by the other two Old Ancestors of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. Even Bai Wu Ji, a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke, was only capable of seeing the dark purple light from the sword.

As for Elder Qi, the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, he could only catch a brief glimpse of the dark purple light before it vanished without a trace.

“Very well!” Duan Ling Tian did not expect Zhou Ming would take the initiative to attack. His eyes flashed coldly, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly. “If you wish to die, I’d be happy to kill you!”

Purple Celestial Origin Energy surged out and shrouded Duan Ling Tian in an instant. His domineering aura rippled out into the surroundings. His body flickered and disappeared into thin air.

Let alone Bai Wu Ji, even the three Old Ancestors of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect could not catch Duan Ling Tian’s movements at all. It truly seemed as though Duan Ling Tian had vanished into thin air.

“This…”

“How’s this possible?!”

“Is this a disappearing technique?”

At this moment, an invisible force blocked the incoming purple-black sword qi, forcefully stopping it in its track. The backlash caused ripples in the air that spread into the surroundings.

All of a sudden, the purple-black sword qi turned around and shot toward Zhou Ming instead.

“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”

“He’s too fast!”

“He single-handedly blocked Brother Ming’s attack!”

As the purple-black sword qi took a sudden turn, the two Old Ancestors and Bai Wu Ji vaguely saw a figure beside the purple-black sword qi. It was none other than Duan Ling Tian!

Duan Ling Tian had grabbed hold of the purple-black sword qi with his bare hand. No matter how hard the purple-black sword qi struggled, it could not break free from Duan Ling Tian’s grasp at all.

Whoosh!

With the purple-black sword qi in his hand, Duan Ling Tian moved at the speed of sound and headed toward Zhou Ming. At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s strength had been reduced to that of an Eight Trigrams Celestial King. However, it was more than sufficient to deal with Zhou Ming who was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke even without the use of a King Grade Celestial Weapon.

‘The strength of a Celestial King is indeed far superior to a Celestial Duke… A mere Ten Directions Celestial Duke like Zhou Ming is no match for the Celestial Origin Energy of an Eight Trigrams Celestial King.’ Zhou Ming’s attack felt like a mosquito struggling in Duan Ling Tian’s grasp. It was only natural since a Ten Directions Celestial Duke could not be compared to an Eight Trigrams Celestial King at all!

“You’re one of the Ten Directions Celestial Dukes of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect… Is this all you’ve got?!” Duan Ling Tian scoffed as he suddenly appeared before Zhou Ming. He raised his hand that was firmly grasping the purple-black sword qi. He exerted a slight force, completely shattering the purple-black sword qi. Then, he fisted his hand and gathered his Celestial Origin Energy in his fist before he swung them at Zhou Ming. A golden Buddha silhouette shrouded him, and his fist that was shrouded in Celestial Origin Energy shone with a golden light.

‘It’s the Blissful Sect’s Duke Grade Celestial Method, the Immobilization King Method!’ The same thought appeared in the minds of the two Old Ancestors of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect as Duan Ling Tian swung his fist.

The blue-clad middle-aged man cried out anxiously and fearfully at this moment, “Please be merciful, Master Duan!”

Alas, it was too late.

Boom!

Before the Ten Directions Celestial Duke, Zhou Ming, could even defend himself, Duan Ling Tian’s fist had landed on him. With just a punch, Zhou Ming exploded into a mist of blood that rained down from the sky and painted the ground red.

“It seems like the Ten Directions Celestial Duke from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect is nothing but an ant!” Duan Ling Tian said as he held Zhou Ming’s Spatial Ring in his hand.

After hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the people of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect slowly regained their senses. Duan Ling Tian was too fast for them to see his movements so they were unable to tell what happened. However, based on the Spatial Ring in Duan Ling Tian’s hand, it was not difficult to guess what had happened.

“Heavens! Did Duan Ling Tian really kill Old Ancestor Zhou Ming?”

“That… That’s impossible, right?”

Meanwhile, Zhou Ming’s twin brother, the blue-clad middle-aged man who was also an Old Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, cried out at the top of his lungs when he witnessed the death of his brother, “Brother Ming!”

On the other hand, everyone from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, including Bai Wu Ji and the other Old Ancestor of the sect, looked at Duan Ling Tian in horror.
