Chapter 2503 The Woman In Black

“Beyond Heaven Secret Zone…” Duan Ling Tian had finally returned to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, but he had lost all his initial excitement. He was certainly not in the mood to search for treasure vaults that contained Celestial Supreme Treasures. He continued his journey, looking for people from Yan Huang Realm. Since he had been separated from Zhang Yi after entering the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, he needed to find someone from Yan Huang Realm to lead him to the point of entrance and exit. Since he was not from Yan Huang Realm, he could not detect the point of entrance and exit of Yan Huang Realm.

“Skyline Realm… Vast Cloud Realm… Mouro Realm…” Half a month had passed, and Duan Ling Tian had run into people from the other three large mundane realms, but he had yet to meet anyone from Yan Huang Realm. At this time, he had begun to feel anxious.

“It’s been half a month now, Zhang Yi has probably arrived at the point of entrance and exit to Yan Huang Realm, right?” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself anxiously.

Since Zhang Yi was from Yan Huang Realm, he would be able to sense the point of entrance and exit to Yan Huang Realm. As soon as he entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, he had probably begun to make his way there. Therefore, it was not a stretch to think he had already arrived.

Duan Ling Tian who was growing increasingly anxious continued to search for people.

“Mm? I think there are people there!” A surge of hope rose in Duan Ling Tian’s heart, and he made his way to a canyon where a loud ruckus could be heard. The sound grew louder and louder as he approached the canyon. When he finally arrived, he saw a group of people surrounding one person. The person who was surrounded was a woman dressed in black from head to toe. Even her face was covered with a black cloth. She was dressed like an assassin in the dramas that Duan Ling Tian had watched in his past life. He could tell she was a woman due to her outfit that clung to her figure. Although the outfit was not extremely tight, it still showed off her good figure. It was an extremely seductive figure.

“Hand over the Celestial Supreme Treasure or die!” One of the people surrounding the woman said threateningly. His words were laden with killing intent. It seemed as though they would kill her as soon as she showed any signs of objecting.

An untidy young man said to black-clad woman, “Why don’t you remove the black cloth covering your face? If you’re pretty enough and you surrender the Celestial Supreme Treasure to me, I might even take you in as my concubine.”

The woman’s eyes, the only thing that her get-up did not cover, flashed with disdain as she said in a melodious voice, “Didn’t we agree that it’s first come, first serve before we enter the heaven-rank treasure vault? Why did all of you go back on your words once I obtained the Celestial Supreme Treasure?”

A woman standing across the black-clad woman scoffed. Most of the people there had a disdainful expression on their faces. Only a few people wore a guilty expression on their faces. Was there anyone who did not want a Celestial Supreme Treasure? Perhaps, they agreed that finders would be keepers. However, that was before a Celestial Supreme Treasure had shown up. Now that a Celestial Supreme Treasure was at stake, everyone’s words had flown out of the window.

‘She… seems quite confident?’ Duan Ling Tian who had just arrived thought to himself. He could clearly sense that the black-clad woman was not frightened despite being surrounded by so many people. She seemed calm. It was clear to him that she was confident.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s arrival had drawn everyone’s eyes, including the black-clad woman. However, they only spared him a glance before turning back to look at the black-clad woman.

On the other hand, the black-clad woman stared at the people surrounding her icily. She knew they were about to attack.

Just as a fight was about to break out, Duan Ling Tian spoke up, “Hello, everyone. Is there anyone from Yan Huang Realm here?”

The group of people turned to look at Duan Ling Tian again when he spoke. However, none of them replied to him. They assumed he was just another man who had entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. He was probably less than 100 years old and was an Eminent Celestial like them. They could not be bothered with someone like him. After all, he was no threat to them. So what if he was angry because they ignored him? There were at least three Eminent Celestials in their group, what could one Eminent Celestial do against so many people?

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by their cold treatment. He closely observed their expressions when he spoke, and he managed to determine, based on their expressions, that one of them was from Yan Huang Realm. His eyes would not deceive him.

As Duan Ling Tian stared at the person from Yan Huang Realm, the group of people began to cry out one after another.

“Kill her!”

“Kill her! Take the Celestial Supreme Treasure away!”

Various attacks flew toward the black-clad woman, causing her to look like a cornered beast. However, she only scoffed. Her eyes glinted disdainfully as she lifted her hand. A dagger instantly appeared in her hand.

With just a glance, Duan Ling Tian determined that the dagger was a Celestial Supreme Treasure.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian watched as the seemingly-trapped black-clad woman wielded her dagger. As though she had divine help, she easily defended against the attacks that were lobbed at her. After a while, energy simmered on the surface of her body before she finally released it.

“No!” The expressions of the three Eminent Celestials changed drastically as soon as the black-clad woman released the energy. Since they were Eminent Celestials, they were definitely more sensitive to danger compared to everyone else. They realized belatedly that the black-clad woman might be an Eminent Celestial like them, but her strength was definitely greater than a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

“Her power has risen to such a level after obtaining the Celestial Supreme Treasure… This means, prior to obtaining the Celestial Supreme Treasure, her strength was on par with a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”

Among the three Eminent Celestials who surrounded the black-clad woman, two of them had strength on par with a Three Tribulations Bodiless Celestial. As soon as the black-clad woman retaliated, they felt the danger and the urge to retreat. They looked at the black-clad woman with eyes that were filled with envy and jealousy and a hint of fear. After all, if they possessed the Celestial Supreme Treasure, their strength would not be inferior to hers.

‘She concealed her strength?!’ Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow as he watched from afar.

Boom!

At this moment, a stronger attack shot toward the black-clad woman. She quickly wielded her dagger with movements as fast as bolts of lightning. Flashes of light that looked divine could be seen as she deflected the attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang in the air like a thunderstorm as the black-clad woman released an explosive energy, effectively nullifying the attacks from the group of people with the dagger.

At this moment, the group of people’s expressions, including three Eminent Celestials, changed drastically when they saw the woman easily deflecting their attacks.

“This is bad!”

“We’ve underestimated her!”

“Her power is at least on par with a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”

These people truly did not expect the black-clad woman to conceal her power. If they had known she was as strong as a Four Tribulations Bodiless Celestials prior to obtaining the Celestial Supreme Treasure, they would not have the courage to covet the Celestial Supreme Treasure in her possession even if they had a hundred doses of liquid courage.

“Run!” The three Eminent Celestials decided to flee as soon as they realized the black-clad woman was stronger than them.

However, could they escape? In just a blink of an eye, the black-clad woman killed all three Eminent Celestials and the people who had surrounded her earlier before they could even react.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian and the black-clad woman were the only ones left in the vast canyon.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the black-clad woman as he asked slowly, “Are you from Yan Huang Realm?”
