Chapter 2541 Asura Hell

Young Master Qing Yan! Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he heard the thin middle-aged man’s words. A fiery inferno could be seen burning in the depths of his eyes. Although he did not expect Yun Qing Yan to let him off so easily, he did not expect Yun Qing Yan would send someone to kill him. He thought to himself, ‘Since he’s bold enough to send someone to kill me, it means he’s not afraid of Ke’er finding out about this. After all, Ke’er has my Soul Pearl.” It was not difficult to figure out that Yun Qing Yang was most likely threatening Ke’er with his family and friends.

“Yun Qing Yan,” Duan Ling Tian muttered through clenched teeth. His gaze turned increasingly cold as he looked at the thin middle-aged man. If looks could kill, the thin middle-aged man would have died many times over. A cold smile appeared on his face as he said, “So you’re sent by Yun Qing Yan.” At the same time, he cast his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic to raise his strength. He took out his Celestial Sword as well and wielded it with the fifth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In just a few moments, a sword battle Formation formed from millions of sword rays hovered above Duan Ling Tian. He had also cast his offensive Divine Ability, the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords. Since he had completely comprehended the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords, he had become much stronger than before. Currently, he was confident he could kill a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial with a single strike! After all, the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords was even stronger than ordinary offensive Divine Abilities in the Devata Realms.

Unfortunately, Duan Ling Tian’s strength was still lacking compared to the powerhouse whom Yun Qing Yan had sent to kill him.

“Xiao Xiao, quickly leave! This man isn’t any weaker than those Great Overarching Golden Celestials who left their inheritance behind in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone!” Duan Ling Tian transmitted his voice to Tang Xiao Xiao. He was prepared to fight to his death. Although he knew he was not a match for the powerhouse who was sent by Yun Qing Yan, he did not plan to give up without a fight! Nevertheless, he was unwilling to involve Tang Xiao Xiao since she was innocent.

As soon as Tang Xiao Xiao heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, her expression changed drastically. When the thin middle-aged man had emerged from the void tear, she had extended her Divine Consciousness and discovered there were no pseudo realms in the area. Based on this, she could roughly tell the thin middle-aged man was strong and not inferior to Duan Ling Tian. She had read some records in the Tang Sect about tearing the barrier of mundane realms and knew that one had to be a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, at least, to be able to tear a hole in the barrier. Duan Ling Tian’s words had confirmed her suspicion. She trembled in fear inwardly as she transmitted her voice that was laced with panic to Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, when and how did you provoke such a strong being?”

How could Tang Xiao Xiao not feel afraid? The thin middle-aged man was at least as strong as a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. There was a possibility that he was even stronger than that. So many people coveted the treasures in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone because they were left by a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Now that one appeared before her, she was, naturally, frightened.

“Don’t worry about any of that. Just get out of here!” Duan Ling Tian said with a hint of anxiety. He did not expect Tang Xiao Xiao would ask questions at this critical moment.

Tang Xiao Xiao replied bitterly through Voice Transmission, “It’s too late for me to leave now. Try to probe our surroundings with your Divine Consciousness. He’s using his power to trap us here. I can’t leave.”

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed. He glared at the thin middle-aged man who was looking at him disdainfully and said in a low voice, “My friend has nothing to do with this. Since Yun Qing Yan ordered you to kill me, you can let her go!”

The thin middle-aged man smiled sinisterly. “How can you even think about protecting your friend when you can’t even protect yourself? Indeed. You’re really kind to women. However, since you seem adamant about protecting her, I won’t let her leave. What can you do to me anyway if I refuse to let her leave?”

“You…” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes turned red from anger. Meanwhile, the sword battle Formation above him seemed agitated as though it was about to fly toward the thin middle-aged man.

The thin middle-aged man looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Indeed. Your technique is rather similar to the technique of Feng Qing Yang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. No wonder Young Master Qing Yan suddenly ordered me to attack a Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm. As it turns out, it’s because of you.” He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “However, your technique is far weaker than Feng Qing Yang. You should know that Feng Qing Yang couldn’t even withstand 100 strikes from me. Eventually, he had to escape to the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms, to escape pursuit. Everyone, including Heavenly Emperors, has no chance of surviving after entering that place”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically. He did not expect the thin middle-aged man was the one Yun Qing Yan had sent to kill Feng Qing Yang. Yun Qing Yang had targeted Feng Qing Yang solely because he had inherited Feng Qing Yang’s techniques and because Feng Qing Yang was, technically, his master.

The thin middle-aged man’s words continued to ring in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. He had indirectly caused Feng Qing Yang’s death!

When Tang Xiao Xiao who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian heard the thin middle-aged man’s words, her expression changed as well. “H-heavenly Emperor?” A hint of disbelief and awe could be seen in her eyes as she looked at the thin middle-aged man. “Y-you… D-did you just say a Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm couldn’t even withstand 100 strikes from you and was forced into entering a deadly place just to escape from you?” Her voice trembled when she spoke.

Tang Xiao Xiao knew a thing or two about Heavenly Emperors from the records in Tang Sect. Heavenly Emperors were the strongest powerhouses in Devata Realms. Since there were 81 Devata Realms, there were also 81 Heavenly Emperors. How could she not feel shocked by the thin middle-aged man’s claims that he was stronger than a Heavenly Emperor?

The thin middle-aged man scoffed at Tang Xiao Xiao’s question. “There are only a few Heavenly Emperors who could withstand more than 100 moves from me. Since Feng Qing Yang managed to withstand almost 100 moves, his strength can be ranked in the top 20 among the 81 Heavenly Emperors!”

Tang Xiao Xiao shuddered when she heard the thin middle-aged man’s reply. She was dumbfounded and petrified.

The thin middle-aged man shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian again and his eyes gleamed with anger as he said, “Little brat, I really don’t see what’s so special about you that even the most beautiful woman in our Divine Offering Land fell for you!” He said contemptuously, “It seems like you can’t wait to attack me. Well, I’ll just stand here. If your attacks manage to reach 10 meters away from me, I’ll leave your corpse intact.”

Duan Ling Tian, who had long been poised to attack, could no longer hold back after hearing the thin middle-aged man’s provocative words. The sword battle Formation above his head flew out immediately.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The huge sword battle Formation flew out followed by other sword formations. In total, there were 12 sword Formations altogether. There were 13 sword battle Formations if one counted the huge sword battle Formation that flew out first.

These Formations were the product of the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, the offensive Divine Ability, the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords, and the fifth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

After a while, the 12 sword battle Formations at the back merged with the huge sword battle Formation in front, and the sword rays grew even stronger. It seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth!

Hideous and terrifying void cracks could be seen in its wake as it flew out.

The thin middle-aged smiled disdainfully as he looked at the attack that Duan Ling Tian had unleashed with his full strength. “I’ve underestimated you. It’s truly surprising that a mere Eminent Celestial in a mundane realm has strength comparable to a Golden Celestial in the Devata Realms. However, with this little bit of power, it’s impossible for it to come within 10 meters from where I’m standing!”
