Chapter 3098: Less Than 100 People
“Jiang Lan is going to gather blood energy and soul fire from fallen peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials with the Formation before he sends them into the embryos in one go.”
Duan Ling Tian looked at the translucent barrier of the Formation. The barrier was like a dome surrounding the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit, stopping it from absorbing blood energy and soul fire. At the same time, the tree did not stop trying to absorb them, therefore, the pulling force from the tree caused the blood energy and soul fire to plaster themselves against the barrier. Once the barrier was removed, all the accumulated blood energy and soul fire would be absorbed by the tree at once.
At this moment, there were blood energy and soul fire from three fallen peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials stuck on the barrier. It was not long before the blood energy and soul fire from another two fallen peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials joined them.
After a while, a person appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. He had been waiting for quite some time before his new opponent appeared in front of him.At the same time, Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang were also facing their opponents.
All this was deliberately arranged by Jiang Lan.
After the embryos of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit appeared, Jiang Lan had grown desperate. It was as though he could no longer wait for the tree to bear fruits. Therefore, in order to speed things up, Duan Ling Tian, Ling Jue Yun, Lin Fei Yang, and the others were quickly assigned an opponent as soon as they were done with their battles.
Jiang Lan had deliberately arranged for Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang to fight peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had comprehended three profundities from a law. However, it was not his intention to sacrifice the duo. After all, the duo could help him kill the others at a faster pace.
Previously, when he had selected and invited the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials here, he had calculated that there would be more than 100 people left when the embryos appeared. With this, there was more than enough blood energy and soul fire to nourish the embryos to make them bear the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits. Therefore, he could afford to spare Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang’s lives if he so wished.
…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!Duan Ling Tian’s current opponent was a middle-aged man dressed in a long green robe.
The middle-aged man had comprehended three profundities from the law of wind and had begun to comprehend the fourth profundity. His face remained indifferent as wind blades spun around his body, creating noises somewhat similar to a swarm of buzzing bees.
“Die!” The middle-aged man cried out as he glared at Duan Ling Tian. He brandished the three-foot-long blade in his hand, stirring up a violent gust of wind that had been boosted with the Wind Blade Profundity and two other profundities from the law of wind. The gust of wind swept toward Duan Ling Tian like an angry dragon.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The ear-piercing and sharp howling of the wind rang in the air.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The sounds from the swords and the wind were incredibly loud.
People who comprehended the law of wind had a huge advantage over those who comprehended the law of earth in terms of speed and offense. Duan Ling Tian’s previous opponent had comprehended three profundities from the law of earth. Although his previous opponent had comprehended the only offensive profundity from the law of earth, the Shake Profundity, his previous opponent’s attacks were a far cry from this middle-aged man who had comprehended three profundities and in the process of comprehending the fourth profundity from the law of wind.
Nevertheless, Duan Ling Tian preferred his current opponent over the previous one. His previous opponent had used the Gravitational Space Profundity and confined him in a space before bombarding him with attacks from all directions. Although he did not suffer from the attacks, the suppression from the Gravitational Space Profundity made him extremely uncomfortable. Although his current opponent was stronger, the attacks were not as tricky to deal with compared to his previous opponent.
“Just in time!” As his opponent’s attack drew close, Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Fire Elemental Profundity and the Pillaging Profundity surged out from his body. In just an instant, he was engulfed in flames.
Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian charged forward like a human torch. A burnt smell lingered in the air as he left a trail of fire in his wake like the tail of a phoenix.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Buzzing noises rang in the air,
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s opponent saw a ring flying out from the flames that engulfed Duan Ling Tian.
The ring was engulfed in red and green flames. Its formidable aura could cause people to tremble in fear.
Duan Ling Tian was fearless when faced with the menacing attack from his opponent who had comprehended the law of wind. He had already killed a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended three profundities from the law of earth, why would he be afraid of another peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended three profundities from the law of wind? Although the latter had a basic comprehension of the law of wind’s fourth profundity, it made no difference to him at all.
Duan Ling Tian was not surprised when the attacks collided, and his attack quickly overwhelmed his opponent’s attack after a brief standstill. Just like divine power, the red and green flames morphed into a flaming sword before it killed his opponent.
Meanwhile, Jiang Lan who was watching Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by the outcome as well. “Just as I thought… Although he has only comprehended two profundities from the law of fire, with the combination of the two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons, even Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang won’t be a match for him!”
Jiang Lan could tell the opponent whom Duan Ling Tian had just killed was as strong as Lin Fei Yang and slightly weaker than Ling Jue Yun. If Ling Jue Yun were to fight Duan Ling Tian’s opponent, it might take Ling Jue Yun a few days and nights to defeat the opponent. On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian had defeated that opponent effortlessly.
At this time, Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang continued to successfully kill their opponents one after another. Seconds later, a new opponent would quickly appear before them. This was due to Jiang Lan’s desperation to speed up the fruit-bearing process of the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. He wanted to gather as much blood energy and soul fire as possible before sending it all into the embryos of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit in one go.
After a while, the few hundred survivors dwindled to only less than 100 hundred survivors.
…
Buzz!
At this moment, the Mystical Yin and Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring in Duan Ling Tian’s hands flew out before the green and red flames shot toward another of his opponents. Just like that, he effortlessly killed a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended three profundities from the law of metal.
After killing his opponent, Duan Ling Tian noticed that the barrier surrounding the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit trembled slightly when his opponent’s blood energy and soul fire landed on it. It was as though the barrier was finally feeling the pressure from all the blood energy and soul fire. The barrier trembled even more when the blood energy and soul fire from an opponent Ling Jue Yun had just killed landed on it.
Duan Ling Tian sent a Voice Transmission to Ling Jue Yun to inform him of his discovery. “Looks like the Formation he prepared in his past life is about to cave under the impact of so much blood energy and soul fire. Or perhaps, it can’t withstand the pulling force from the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit.”
Ling Jue Yun furtively glanced at the barrier before he said, “It does seem like it… My guess is the translucent barrier is only capable of withstanding another dozen peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials’ blood energy and soul fire before it shatters!” His eyes glinted as he continued to say, “At that time, Jiang Lan would probably kill the remaining survivors before the embryos grow and bear fruits. After all, I’m sure he’s also worried that someone might steal the fruits from him. From now onward, we have to pay closer attention to the barrier. When it’s about to shatter, we must be prepared and be on full alert.”
“Alright.”
While Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun were conversing through Voice Transmission, Jiang Lan had also noticed the problem. “It seems like I’ve underestimated the pulling power of the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit… When the barrier shatters, the blood energy and soul fire accumulated on the barrier would be instantly pulled into the embryos of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit… However, there are still so many survivors left…”
At this moment, Jiang Lan looked at Duan Ling Tian and the others as killing intent slowly rose from the depths of his eyes.
