Chapter 4118: A Prominent Divine Sword With a Complete Artifact Soul
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hong Li and the other three disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were prepared to make a move on Duan Ling Tian after he cast the Double Teleportation Profundity, but what happened next surprised them.
Even the crowd, including Yuan Dong Chun who was the teacher on duty in the Palace of Death, was surprised.
Duan Ling Tian had cast the Double Teleportation Profundity, and he surprised everyone when he reappeared near Wang Yun Sheng. As soon as he appeared, a terrifying spatial storm began to surge around him.
Wang Yun Sheng scoffed. His expression did not change much when he faced Duan Ling Tian’s sudden attack. His body shone as the prominent divine artifact in his hand began to shake violently. His Divine Energy that had been imbued with the law he comprehended surged forth from his body. He had been prepared to attack with all his might so he was not flustered when Duan Ling Tian appeared near him. He said disdainfully, “Duan Ling Tian, you finally stopped avoiding me. I’ve underestimated you.”
Faced with Wang Yun Sheng who was approaching at lightning speed, Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly, “I don’t care if a dead man underestimates me.”
!!
As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell, the spatial storm around him surged and changed. He had cast the Mastery Dao. At this time, his comprehension of the Mastery Dao had surpassed his comprehension of the Sword Dao due to his time in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The spatial storm grew even more terrifying as it surged. From a distance, it looked like a tornado.
Everyone saw the air rippling and twisting as the tornado spun.
At the same time, a seven-colored sword suddenly appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. Following that, a slender figure appeared in the air above the sword before it merged with the sword.
“This…” Wang Yun Sheng, who was standing closest to Duan Ling Tian, came to his senses first. His expression changed drastically as he exclaimed in horror, “A prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul!”
Wang Yun Sheng was in shock and disbelief, causing him to be distracted.
When Hong Li and his three fellow disciples recovered from the shock of seeing Duan Ling Tian’s terrifying spatial storm, they were shocked again as soon as they saw his prominent divine sword.
“The Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation is nothing special at all,” Duan Ling Tian said.
Before Hong Li and the others recovered from their shock, Duan Ling Tian destroyed Wang Yun Sheng’s attack, which had been greatly weakened due to his inattention, with his sword.
Swoosh!
The seven-colored sword shone dazzlingly after destroying Wang Yun Sheng’s attack. Following that, it flew toward Wang Yun Sheng.
“Junior Brother Yun Sheng!”
The four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation instinctively flew toward Wang Yun Sheng. Alas, they had yet to reach Wang Yun Sheng when the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword’s sword rays landed on Wang Yun Sheng. In just a blink of an eye, Wang Yun Sheng was reduced to ashes.
After that, Duan Ling Tian casually picked up Wang Yun Sheng’s prominent divine artifact that had fallen to the ground.
Just like this, Wang Yun Sheng, the Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, died. Everything happened in just a blink of an eye. The crowd had yet to recover from their shock of seeing the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword when Duan Ling Tian not only destroyed Wang Yun Sheng’s attack but killed Wang Yun Sheng as well.
At this time, it seemed like no one cared that Wang Yun Sheng was dead. Their attention was all focused on the seven-colored sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand. All of them had varying expressions on their faces such as envy, shock, and disbelief.
“It’s a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul!”
“Did Vice Academy Master Yang lend it to him? If so, doesn’t this mean that Duan Ling Tian broke the rules? The Palace of Death prohibits the elders of the participants of the life-or-death battle from lending prominent divine artifacts, with incomplete and complete artifact souls, to the participants.”
“No, that’s not Vice Academy Master Yang’s sword.”
At the same time, Hong Li and his fellow disciples stopped moving. Their expressions were one of discontent. They stared at Duan Ling Tian vigilantly as they complained to Yuan Dong Chun.
“Teacher, are you going to let Duan Ling Tian get away with violating the rules?”
Meanwhile, Yuan Dong Chun performed a series of hand gestures, erecting a barrier between Duan Ling Tian and the four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation to prevent them from making another move. After that, he flew into the air and asked Duan Ling Tian solemnly, “Duan Ling Tian, where did you get this prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul?”
Duan Ling Tian looked at Yuan Dong Chun and replied with a smile, “Teacher, everyone has their own fortuitous encounter. Can I refuse to answer this question since it’s inconvenient for me to do so?”
Yuan Dong Chun nodded. “You don’t have to explain, but you must prove that the prominent divine sword belongs to you. If you can’t prove, you’ll be considered to have broken the rules of the Palace of Death, and the punishment for that infraction is death.”
The crowd shuddered slightly upon hearing Yuan Dong Chun’s words.
The Palace of Death was very strict regarding participants using prominent divine artifacts with incomplete or complete artifact souls that did not belong to them. The punishment for violating the rule was death.
“This prominent divine artifact belongs to me,” Duan Ling Tian said calmly, “I’m aware of the rules of the Palace of Death. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to use my prominent divine sword. The academy can investigate this matter; I have nothing to hide. If the academy finds that the sword doesn’t belong to me, I’m willing to be sentenced to death. I won’t be leaving the academy so soon so the academy can ground me while they investigate the matter.”
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “Apart from that, I’ll also swear on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath. As long as I’m alive, this sword will only remain in my possession. If this sword isn’t mine and I return it to another person, I’m willing to die.”
Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate to swear on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath to prove his innocence.
Upon hearing, most people’s suspicions were immediately dispelled.
“Duan Ling Tian is only a Lord of Gods, but he owns a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul?”
“Heavens! Did he obtain it from the legacy of a supreme powerhouse or did he obtain it from a Supreme God?”
“No wonder he dared to challenge Wang Yun Sheng to a life-or-death battle. As it turns out, he possesses a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul!”
While the crowd was discussing fervently among themselves, the expressions on Wang Yun Sheng and his fellow disciples’ faces were unsightly. Then, they began to protest vehemently.
“Teacher, it’ll take too long for the academy to carry out an investigation!”
“Although Duan Ling Tian swore on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath, we’ll die in vain if it’s later proven that the prominent divine artifact doesn’t belong to him!”
“I suggest that you call off the life-or-death battle at once!”
Hong Li and his fellow disciples no longer wished to fight.
Wang Yun Sheng was shocked and distracted by the prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. After all, usually, only those at or above the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods possessed such weapons. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian was only able to kill him because he was distracted, but Hong Li and the others still could ignore Duan Ling Tian’s strength.
At this time, a teacher standing among the crowd looked at Yuan Dong Chun and said, “There’s another way to prove if Duan Ling Tian is the master of the sword. Teacher Yuan, the artifact soul of your prominent divine artifact is female as well. If Duan Ling Tian has a clear conscience, he won’t mind letting your artifact soul investigate his artifact soul. Your artifact soul will be able to find out if there’s another person’s aura. If Duan Ling Tian borrowed the prominent divine artifact recently, your artifact soul should be able to sense the real owner’s aura in the other artifact soul.”
