Chapter 2922: The Nine Sons Lotus Throne And The World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk

As soon as the purple cage shone intensely, it began to shrink as well, tightening the cage around Wang Dan Feng.

Wang Dan Feng, the Second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, who was trapped, struggled desperately, but it was futile. The purple energy seemed endless like the ocean. Every time she managed to muster up some of her Celestial Origin Energy, the purple energy would ruthlessly nullify her Celestial Origin Energy! Her expression changed drastically when she realized she was as helpless as a calf that was bound for slaughter.

“The Eastern Purple Qi!”

The expressions of Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru, the Sect Leader and the First Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect respectively, changed again when they saw that Wang Dan Feng was trapped. They easily recognized the technique Duan Ling Tian had cast as the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s Duke Grade Divine Ability, the Eastern Purple Qi. Moreover, they could tell that he had completely mastered the Divine Ability. Otherwise, he would not have such precise and free control of the purple energy.

Although Nangong Xiu was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s strength and mastery of his skills, she did not hesitate to make a move when she saw Duan Ling Tian had imprisoned Wang Dan Feng. “Duan Ling Tian, release my junior sister!”

Whoosh!

A gust of wind stirred in the air as Nangong Xiu shot toward Duan Ling Tian in the air.

Lin Ru who remained silent followed suit. She was prepared to join hands with Nangong Xiu to fight Duan Ling Tian. Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine they would have to join forces to fight Duan Ling Tian in anything apart from alchemy. In fact, they were not even certain they could defeat Duan Ling Tian even if they worked together. After all, based on the strength he displayed, it was clear he was very powerful and was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, at least. There was a possibility that he was even stronger than a Ten Directions Celestial Duke.

Duan Ling Tian had noticed the instance Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru made a move, but he did not even deign to spare them a glance. His eyes were trained on Wang Dan Feng who was still desperately struggling. If Murong Bing did not have a close relationship with her master, he would have killed Wang Dan Feng instantly to avoid future troubles. Although Wang Dan Feng had the protection of a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, Duan Ling Tian was, currently, capable of killing a One Basic Celestial King. He did not fear a Ten Directions Celestial Duke at all.

Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru were fast approaching Duan Ling Tian at this moment. He still did not look at them, but he gathered his force inwardly with just a thought. ‘The Immobilization King Method!’

In just a few short moments, a golden Buddha silhouette laced with purple energy appeared, shrouding and protecting Duan Ling Tian.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang in the air as Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru’s attacks landed on the golden Buddha silhouette. They pulled back before they continued to attack. Alas, it was futile. Their attacks were akin to scratching the golden Buddha silhouette. The attacks posed no threat to Duan Ling Tian at all.

“The Nine Sons Lotus Throne!”

“The World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk!”

Shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s terrifying and impregnable defenses, Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru brought out their respective Royal Grade Celestial Weapons with a grim expression on their faces.

A miniature square lotus throne appeared in Nangong Xiu’s hand. Nine boys could be seen standing in three rows on top of the lotus throne. Five boys stood at the bottom row, three boys stood on the second row, and one boy stood at the top of the row. This was the Nine Sons Lotus Throne, one of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s three most powerful sect-guarding Celestial Weapons. It was a double-trait Royal Grade Celestial Weapon that specialized in speed and offense. In fact, it was the strongest weapon among the sect’s three sect-guarding Celestial Weapons!

Whoosh!

After Nangong Xiu solemnly sent her Celestial Origin Energy into the Nine Sons Lotus Throne, two clones of the Nine Sons Lotus Throne appeared. The original Nine Sons Lotus Throne in her hands began to shine even more brilliantly. One of the clones appeared beneath Nangong Xiu’s feet. It grew until it was big enough for Nangong Xiu to stand on. Meanwhile, the other clone grew so big until it became a translucent silhouette that shrouded Nangong Xiu.

On the other hand, a horsetail whisk appeared in Lin Ru’s hands.

Duan Ling Tian was no stranger to the horsetail whisk. It was the Celestial Weapon Murong Bing had obtained in the Little World that they had both entered. It was one of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s three sect-guarding Celestial Weapons, the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk. It had been lost for many years before Murong Bing found it and brought it back to the sect.

The third sect-guarding Celestial Weapon of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was in the possession of Wang Qiu Kuang, the Supreme Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.

At this moment, the disciples and elders of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect finally returned to their senses. They were shocked and baffled.

“Our sect leader has to use the Nine Sons Lotus Throne? Are Duan Ling Tian’s defenses so terrifying?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Before they brought out their Royal Grade Celestial Weapons, Sect Leader Nangong and Guardian Lin Ru weren’t able to breach Duan Ling Tian’s defenses even after they joined forces. How could it not be terrifying?”

“Since Guardian Lin Ru has brought out the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk, the two Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes should be able to breach Duan Ling Tian’s defenses with two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons, right?”

“So what if they manage to breach or destroy Duan Ling Tian’s defenses? It’s clear now that he’s at least a Ten Directions Celestial Duke!”

How could the people from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect not be shocked? Wang Dan Feng was the Second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, a Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes, and yet, she was completely defenseless when faced with Duan Ling Tian. Although Wang Dan Feng had underestimated Duan Ling Tian, it was clear even if she had been guarded, she would not have been able to do anything to Duan Ling Tian. This was sufficient enough to prove Duan Ling Tian’s strength. Moreover, they had seen how the other two Nine Palace Dukes from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had joined forces but were unable to breach Duan Ling Tian’s defenses. At this moment, they could only wait and watch what happened next now that the two Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes had brought out their sect-guarding Celestial Weapons. Most of them had assumed that it would be enough to breach Duan Ling Tian’s defenses even if they could not defeat him. Alas, they were quickly disabused of that notion.

They saw a Celestial Weapon appearing in Duan Ling Tian’s hand soon after Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru brought out their Royal Grade Celestial Weapons. His weapon was an umbrella that was etched with strange carvings, even the handles were etched with strange carvings.

“That’s…”

“Isn’t that a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon as well?”

“Of course… It’s impossible for a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon to possess such an aura!”

Duan Ling Tian opened the umbrella as soon as it appeared in his hands. With a flurry of movements that could not be captured by the people present, the umbrella was soon in the hands of the golden Buddha silhouette that was protecting him. It shone with a golden light that was laced with purple energy as soon as it was in the hands of the golden Buddha silhouette.

At this moment, Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru arrived close to Duan Ling Tian.

It seemed as though the nine boys standing on the lotus throne in Nangong Xiu’s hand had come to life.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The wind whistled in the air as the nine boys left the lotus throne and flew toward Duan Ling Tian swiftly. As they flew, the nine boys kept growing in size. When they finally arrived near the golden Buddha silhouette that was holding an umbrella, they dove fearlessly like suicide bombers. They glowed with a mysterious light as they landed with an explosion on the golden Buddha silhouette.

Boom!

The sound of the nine boys exploding was thunderously loud and seemed as though it could shake the lands. Waves and waves of violent energies rippled out into the surroundings upon impact.

The golden Buddha silhouette with an umbrella flickered in the midst of the explosions. It seemed as though it was going to shatter at any moment.

Whoosh!

The golden Buddha silhouette was still flickering when an ear-piercing noise rang in the air.

Lin Ru, hot on the heels of Nangong Xiu, had attacked as well. The World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk seemed to have come alive in her hands. She swung her hand, and the air rippled and distorted as a flurry of violent tornadoes swept toward Duan Ling Tian. It swept out like a ravenous and powerful prehistoric beast, leaving destruction in its wake, as it continued on its trajectory toward Duan Ling Tian.

The golden Buddha silhouette flickered even more intensely when the tornadoes landed on it.

The elders and disciples from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect stared at the golden Buddha silhouette unblinkingly. Their hearts were hoisted high as they watched with hope shimmering in their eyes.

“Will it be able to shatter Duan Ling Tian’s defenses?”

Nevertheless, the subsequent scene destroyed all of their hopes.

The golden Buddha silhouette with an umbrella protecting Duan Ling Tian remained even after the attacks.

Nangong Xiu had shielded the disciples of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect from the backlash of the attacks so the disciples remained unharmed.

“This… It’s not enough to shatter his defenses?”

“Well, his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon is remarkable… It looks like a defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon!”

“There’s no doubt he’s at least a Ten Directions Celestial Duke!”

Not only were the people of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s defenses that were able to withstand Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru’s attacks, but they were also amazed by the umbrella in the hands of the golden Buddha silhouette. The umbrella that shone with a mysterious golden light that was laced with purple energy seemed capable of blocking all attacks!

While everyone marveled over Duan Ling Tian’s strength, Duan Ling Tian noticed something in the distance. His eyes narrowed imperceptibly as he looked at a figure heading toward him at top speed. ‘Is he finally going to show himself?’
