Chapter 2998 - The Gale Profundity
Chapter 2998: The Gale Profundity
From beginning to end, the green-clad young man seemed indifferent to the death of his companion. His expression did not even change at the moment of his companion’s death. It was as though the blue-clad young man was not his companion but a passerby.
“The law of earth’s Earth Elemental Profundity… Interesting.” Based on the green-clad young man’s words, it was clear he knew Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the law of earth’s Fundamental Profundity, the Earth Elemental Profundity. Nevertheless, there was no fear or panic to be seen on his face, and he was brimming with confidence.
Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned slightly solemn. There were only two reasons why the green-clad young man could remain composed at this moment. One, the green-clad young man was trying to put up a front to call Duan Ling Tian’s bluff. Two, the green-clad young man had also comprehended the profundity of a law.
Duan Ling Tian’s gut instinct told him it was more likely to be the latter reason.
At this moment, the green-clad young man’s gaze suddenly turned fierce as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. At the same, Celestial Origin Energy began to surge out of his body. His Celestial Origin Energy soon turned into a gust of cyan wind that wrapped itself around his body and lifted him in the air. It was clear he did not rely on his power to levitate; it was all the gust of cyan wind’s doing.
“The Wind Elemental Profundity!” Based on this, Duan Ling Tian knew the green-clad young man had comprehended the law of wind’s Fundamental Profundity, the Wind Elemental Profundity. Moreover, he could tell the green-clad young man’s comprehension of the Wind Elemental Profundity was far ahead of Huang Jia Long. Huang Jia Long had only comprehended and mastered a small part of the Wind Elemental Profundity whereas the green-clad young man had already mastered the Wind Elemental Profundity. Moreover, judging by the speed the Wind Elemental Profundity had merged with his Celestial Origin Energy, it was clear the green-clad young man had long mastered the Wind Elemental Profundity.
“I’m Sima Chun from the Sima Clan,” the green-clad young said in a low voice at this moment.
‘Sima Clan? The grade-seven clan in the Profound Nether Mansion that’s only second to the Three Sects and Two Clans?’ Duan Ling Tian was taken aback when he heard the green-clad young man’s introduction.
During the journey to the Scaling Cloud Lake, Duan Ling Tian had learned about the Sima Clan from Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation. He really did not expect the green-clad young man in front of him to be from the Sima Clan.
Duan Ling Tian recalled Huang Jia Long telling him that apart from grade-eight sects, clans, and kingdoms, there would be people from grade-seven forces entering the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. According to Huang Jia Long, due to them being in grade-seven forces, most of them had comprehended King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities very early in their lives. Among these people, the most outstanding one had already comprehended two profundities of a law. ‘No wonder he’s so confident… He’s from a grade-seven clan.’
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he introduced himself. “I’m Duan Ling Tian from the Supporting Fall Nation.”
“You’re not even 100 years old, but you’re already a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who has comprehended the law of earth’s Fundamental Profundity, the Earth Elemental Profundity… Your talent and comprehension skills are extraordinary.” Sima Chun looked at Duan Ling Tian and praised him without any hints of unwillingness. “This is the first time in my life meeting someone like you.”
“You’re not too bad yourself,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
“Alas, you’re destined to fall here today. I’d be forever proud being able to kill such a highly talented person like you,” Sima Chun said as his eyes flashed with killing intent.
In order to score points, it was impossible for one to spare the lives of one’s opponents, after all, unless one was very well-acquainted with one’s opponents.
Sima Chun’s confidence was evident judging by how certain he sounded when he said he was going to kill Duan Ling Tian even when he knew Duan Ling Tian was strong.
Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian speculated inwardly, ‘It seems like Sima Chun might be one of those people whom Jia Long mentioned. He might have comprehended two profundities of a law!’
There was no doubt that an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial who had comprehended two profundities of a law was the strongest among all the Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had entered the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. It would be easy for someone like that to dominate the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm!
In the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, any Dao talisman that contained the Celestial Origin Energy of an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial or someone stronger could not be used. If one tried to use it, it would only be destroyed by a Formation in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm the moment its power was released. Since most offensive Dao Talismans contained Celestial Origin Energy of those stronger than an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, they, naturally, could not be used in the realm as well. Therefore, everything depended on one’s strength.
Upon hearing Sima Chun’s words, Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. His voice was frosty as he said, “A lot of people have said this… Alas, in the end, all of them died without exception.”
“That’s because they’re useless… I, however, will be the exception!” Sima Chun raised his hand as he spoke. Soon after, a sword glowing with a mysterious light appeared in his hand. It was a King Grade Celestial Sword.
“Then, go ahead and try!” A long rod, a King Grade Celestial Weapon as well, appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s hand. Among the few King Grade Celestial Weapons he owned, the long rod was a purely offensive Celestial Weapon. That was why he usually used it in his attacks.
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian cast his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.
Sima Chun’s expression soured when he saw Duan Ling Tian remaining fearless. The cyan wind around his body seemed to stir for a moment before he seemed to have turned into a gust of wind himself as he swept toward Duan Ling Tian. At the same time, a blue light that seemed to boost his speed could be seen under his feet. He looked like a cheetah as he moved at such a deadly speed.
“Oh?” Just when Duan Ling Tian thought Sima Chun’s speed could not increase any further, he saw Sima Chun’s body flickering, seemingly disappearing into thin air. He could no longer see Sima Chun.
‘Is this… the law of wind’s second profundity that he comprehended?’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically when he thought about this. He could think of anything else that could grant Sima Chun such a terrifying speed. He speculated inwardly, ‘His speed has increased so much in just an instant… The law of wind’s second profundity that he had comprehended must be a movement profundity…’
“Boy, if you don’t want to die, try your best to merge the Earth Elemental Profundity with your Celestial Origin Energy and channel it into your vest!” the Chaos Divine Earth said anxiously at this moment.
Duan Ling Tian hurriedly did as he was told. After merging the Earth Elemental Profundity with his Celestial Origin Energy, he channeled it into the vest he was wearing, which was a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon. Red scales appeared on his body before a mustard energy shot into the vest. The red scales looked incredibly life-like.
Seeing the mustard energy, Duan Ling Tian knew the Chaos Divine Earth had boosted his defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon with its own power as well. As soon as its energy shot into the vest…
Zing! Zing! Zing! Zing! Zing!
The ear-piercing sounds of swords cries rang in the air suddenly.
At the same time, a shower of swords wrapped in cyan energy rained down on Duan Ling Tian’s vest before Duan Ling Tian even had a chance to react.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
The light around Duan Ling Tian’s vest rippled and dimmed as though its defense would break. However, it remained strong.
“He’s fast! His swords are attacking at full speed as well!” Duan Ling Tian was shocked. If the Chaos Divine Earth did not boost his defensive Celestial Weapon and strengthen his defense, he would not have been able to stop Sima Chun’s attack.
“He’s too fast… What’s the law of wind’s second profundity that Sima Chun comprehended?” Duan Ling Tian asked the Chaos Divine Earth as his heart thumped wildly.
“The law of wind’s second profundity that he comprehended is a movement profundity. It’s called the Gale Profundity. It’s also one of the most practical profundities in the law of wind. It can improve one’s speed and the speed of one’s attacks,” Chaos Divine Earth said, “Boy, if I weren’t here… You would’ve died!”
Then, the Chaos Divine Earth’s childish voice turned solemn as it continued to say, “This young man’s strength can be considered to be at the top among those who entered the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm this time around.”
The Chaos Divine Earth’s childish voice turned slightly arrogant as it said, “However, since you have me, it doesn’t matter how fast he is, it’s impossible for him to breach your defenses. In the end, he’ll have no choice but to give up on his attacks.”
As though proving the Chaos Divine Earth right, Sima Chun stopped attacking, and his figure appeared before Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. He said solemnly, “Unexpectedly, you’ve also comprehended the second profundity of a law… The law of earth’s second profundity is a defensive profundity, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to stop my attacks. It seems like I’ve underestimated you…”
