Initially, Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, was baffled by the fact that Duan Ling Tian survived his attack. However, when he saw Huan’er’s vomiting blood, her ashen face, and her lack of aura, he a.s.sumed she had overexerted herself to protect Duan Ling Tian, resulting in Duan Ling Tian being alive. Although he had no idea how Huan’er could have possibly helped strengthen the Duke Grade Celestial Method, the Immobilization King Method, and deflected his attack, he remained adamant about killing Duan Ling Tian. He sneered as he thought to himself, ‘I don’t know how you helped Duan Ling Tian in deflecting my attack, but it seems like you’re no longer in any condition to help him now!”

“Master Duan!” Bai Ping and Tie Tai He, the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect respectively, thought Duan Ling Tian survived due to Huan’er as well. Now that they saw Li An attacking for the second time, their expressions changed drastically again. They continued to struggle, determined to save Duan Ling Tian when Li An’s body flashed out of sight.

When Li An appeared again, he raised both his hands and struck at Bai Ping and Tie Tai He with his palms. He said coldly as he attacked the duo, “Mind your own business, you fools!”

Boom! Boom!

Two loud explosions rang in the air as Li An’s palms landed, stirring up the dust in the surroundings. When the dust settled, Li An was shocked to see two figures shrouded in a golden light that had the silhouette of a Buddha. The protective s.h.i.+eld was impenetrable and easily deflected Li An’s double palms strike. Bai Ping and Tie Tai He were clearly unharmed by his attack.

Naturally, it was Duan Ling Tian who stopped Li An’s attack. As he hugged Huan’er with one of his hands, he said with a cold gaze and a sneer, “Are you sure you’re the strongest Nine Palaces Celestial Duke in the Six Southeastern Regions? Is this all you got?!”

“How…how’s that possible…” At this moment, it finally dawned on Li An that Huan’er was not the one who had deflected his attack earlier. He was dumbfounded. How did Duan Ling Tian appear in front of him without him noticing it? Most importantly, how did Duan Ling Tian manage to deflect his attack? It seemed like Duan Ling Tian was far stronger than him.

‘Even a One Basic Celestial King that’s a rank higher than a Celestial Duke wouldn’t be able to move without me catching a trace of it…’ Li An could not see Duan Ling Tian’s movement at all. A frightened expression appeared on his face as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and stammered, “Y-y-you… Who are you? Why are you s-so p-powerful?” Not only was this young man below the age of 100 and a remarkably superior prominent Celestial Alchemist, but it was clear now that the young man was incredibly powerful; to the extent that it seemed like the young man was even more powerful than a Celestial King.

Ji Fan, the Arhat of the Blissful Sect, rushed to Li An and said, “Grandmaster, Duan Ling Tian’s finally revealed his true strength. His speed is remarkable, I couldn’t even catch his movements. If he grows stronger in the future, he’ll definitely become a threat to the Blissful Sect! Grandmaster, there’s no reason for you to hold back with him! Hurry up and kill him!” He seemed oblivious to the grim and frightened expression on Li An’s face. Otherwise, he would have discovered something was amiss. He was also ignorant of the real situation due to his low cultivation base. He only thought Duan Ling Tian was too fast for him because Duan Ling Tian was stronger than him. It did not occur to him that Duan Ling Tian was currently stronger than Li An. He thought Li An was deliberately toying with Duan Ling Tian and was holding back.

‘Hold back? Hurry and kill him?’ Li An’s body trembled from anger as he clenched his fists to suppress his anger and frustrations. He seemed apprehensive as he studied Duan Ling Tian. How was it possible for someone who was not even 100 years old to be so strong? Did he master some secret technique? ‘Let alone the Spirit Overarching Heaven, there might not be someone like him who’s a prominent Celestial Alchemist and a Celestial King before reaching the age of 100 in the other Devata Realms!’

In the end, Li An concluded the Duan Ling Tian must have used a secret technique that granted him the strength of an ordinary Celestial King.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian released a slight amount of his aura into his surroundings.

It did not take long for the people around him to sense Duan Ling Tian’s formidable aura.

Bai Ping and Tie Tai He who were the first to sense the aura since they were closest to him cried out, “This… this is the aura of a Celestial Lord!” They were thoroughly shocked. They finally realized it was not Huan’er that protected Duan Ling tian earlier. They could tell Duan Ling Tian’s aura was even stronger than the aura of a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. After all, they had both felt the auras of Ten Directions Celestial Dukes before.

Swoos.h.!.+

Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy continued to surge as he looked at Li An pointedly with killing intent. The huge amount of pressure from his aura caused Li An’s face to turn ghastly pale.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang in the air as Li An was suddenly shot into the sky to the horizon. He was not certain if Duan Ling Tian were relying on some secret technique that granted him this formidable strength, but he was certain at this moment he was no match for Duan Ling Tian. The only thing he could do now was flee! He was panic-stricken as he left his beloved grand disciple, Ji Fan, behind and escaped on his own.

On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian remained calm. He was not in a hurry to chase after Li An. He only watched as Li An escaped.

“Grandmaster?” Ji Fan looked at Li An who had left him behind in confusion. He had lost his arrogant expression at this moment and looked as timid as a mouse.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian said loudly, “Li An! Do you think you can escape from me?”

Duan Ling Tian’s voice resonated through the entire Tai Yi Celestial Sect. The disciples broke out in an uproar when they heard his voice. One by one, they flew up into the sky, heading to the source of the voice.

“Is that… Master Duan’s voice?”

“What’s going on? Did… Did Master Duan say the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, the strongest Nine Palaces Celestial Duke in the Six Southeastern Regions, is running from him?”

“Sounds like it…”

“Well, there’s a rumor going around that Master Duan is from a powerful clan in the central area. If that’s true, I’m sure his clansmen are secretly protecting him here. Maybe his clansmen have appeared to deal with Li An!”

“C’mon! Let’s go check it out!”

At this moment, a series of explosions rang in the air.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The blue sky suddenly turned purple in a blink of an eye.

“Good heavens… What’s…what’s going on?”

“What happened to the sky?”

“Can anybody tell me what’s going on? Why did the sky suddenly change?”

The disciples of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect discussed among themselves in panic.
