Chapter 2572 Ascend!

In the Heavenly Wave Mansion in the Heavenly Wave Galaxy.

When the people from the Heavenly Wave Mansion learned that the person who killed their old ancestor, a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, was merely an Eminent Celestial, they felt frustrated and upset. They thought their old ancestor had died in vain. In their opinion, if their old ancestor had known that Duan Ling Tian was merely an Eminent Celestial, their old ancestor would have been able to kill Duan Ling Tian with a soul attack. Even if Duan Ling Tian was still able to kill their old ancestor, at the very least, Duan Ling Tian would die along with their old ancestor. That incident was like a thorn in their flesh, making them feel aggrieved and vexed whenever they recalled it. However, all this disappeared when they heard a piece of shocking news.

“Although Duan Ling Tian’s only an Eminent Celestial, he managed to defend against the soul attack from Gongsun Wen Tian, the old ancestor and Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial of the Gongsun Family, and forced him to commit suicide?”

“Gongsun… Gongsun Wen Tian was widely acknowledged as the strongest person in our Yan Huang Realm, right?”

“Yes!”

“Heavens! Even the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm who cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment technique couldn’t kill Duan Ling Tian. Instead, he was forced to commit suicide!”

“There’s no doubt Gongsun Wen Tian is stronger than our old ancestor…”

“It seems like our old ancestor did not die in vain…”

“That’s right…”

“Rumor has it that the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial of the Gongsun family coveted Duan Ling Tian’s technique that could snatch others’ Celestial Supreme Treasures away. Therefore, he abducted Duan Ling Tian’s friend to threaten Duan Ling Tian. He assumed Duan Ling Tian’s soul was weak since Duan Ling Tian was only an Eminent Celestial. He, naturally, didn’t expect that his soul attack couldn’t even harm Duan Ling Tian.”

“That’s so unfortunate and sad.”

At this moment, nobody from the Heavenly Wave Mansion thought their old ancestor had died in vain. After all, even Gongsun Wen Tian, the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm, was forced to commit suicide even though he had made preparations to deal with Duan Ling Tian.

“Is Duan Ling Tian a monster? How is he able to kill the strongest person in our Yan Huang Realm even though he’s only an Eminent Celestial? I wonder if there’s anyone in the mundane realms who’s a match for him?”

The people of the Heavenly Wave Mansion thought Duan Ling Tian was absurdly strong.

…

Tang Sect in the Thousand Opportunities Galaxy.

The news about Duan Ling Tian forcing Gongsun Wen Tian, a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial of the Gongsun family, to commit suicide before killing Gongsun Hong, another Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, had also spread to Tang Sect as time passed. It, naturally, took many people by surprise.

“It’s been a very long time since any Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were killed in the Yan Huang Realm. Within a few years, who knew Duan Ling Tian who’s from the Saint Province Realm would kill three Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in our Yan Huang Realm!”

“One of them was even the strongest person in our Yan Huang Realm!”

“Who’s Duan Ling Tian? How can he be so strong?”

“I heard that Duan Ling Tian had visited our sect before. He’s a friend of Tang Xiao Xiao, the strongest person among the younger generation in our sect.”

“Is it true?”

“It should be true. I heard someone mentioning this matter.”

When Tang Chong, the Sect Leader of Tang Sect, received the news, he was similarly shocked. “Duan Ling Tian is so strong?”

Tang Chong was already shocked when he heard Duan Ling Tian had killed the old ancestor of Heavenly Wave Mansion who was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. However, he had thought Duan Ling Tian was only lucky since the old ancestor of the Heavenly Wave Mansion did not launch a soul attack on him. However, based on the recent news he received from the Mystical Ancient Galaxy, he realized Duan Ling Tian had no need to fear the soul attack of the old ancestor of the Heavenly Wave Mansion at all! After all, Duan Ling Tian had easily defended himself against the soul attack of the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm and even forced such a person to commit suicide!

‘I wonder if Xiao Xiao’s friend is the reincarnation of a god? Otherwise, how could he possess such strength despite being an Eminent Celestial?’ Tang Chong thought to himself, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

…

In Planet Sattel of the Coste Galaxy.

The Coste Galaxy was located in a remote area of the Yan Huang Realm. Previously, Duan Ling Tian had used the Interstellar Transportation Formation here to return to earth.

“This recording from a Mirror Image Talisman belongs to a cultivator. My friend who is a star trader brought it back. Take a look! Doesn’t that man in the recording look familiar?”

The recording spread like a wildfire in the Coste Galaxy, shocking all the inhabitants.

“Heavens! Isn’t this purple-clad young man the cultivator who destroyed the Disaster-level Battleships and killed the Patriarch of the Garnier Family?”

“It’s said that the old man he killed in the recording is the old ancestor of the Heavenly Wave Mansion, which is one of the top forces in our Yan Huang Realm. He was also a strong Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.”

“A Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Aren’t Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials the peak existence in Yan Huang Realm? They’re capable of destroying Apocalypse-level Battleships with just a snap of their finger! And yet, that purple-clad young man is capable of killing someone like that?”

“Just a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial alone can destroy an SSS-level technology civilization. However, this purple-clad cultivator killed a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”

“Fortunately, he didn’t vent his anger on the other members of the Garnier Family or the inhabitants of the Coste Galaxy. With his strength, he’s capable of destroying the entire Coste Galaxy!”

The people from the Coste Galaxy had just received the news about Duan Ling Tian killing the old ancestor from the Heavenly Wave Mansion who was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. They had yet to learn about the news of him killing the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm. When they finally learned about it, it would cause another commotion!

…

In the Yellow Thearch Mansion.

‘It’s finally slowing down.” Duan Ling Tian could finally feel the speed of the defective metal piece devouring the Celestial Ascension Force slowing down after three days. He was even more convinced the defective metal piece was special. After all, how could something that was able to devour the Celestial Ascension Force for three days and delay his ascension be ordinary? ‘I wonder what it’s supposed to be?’

“Brother Ling Tian!”

“Duan Ling Tian!”

Xuan Yuan Zhi and Su Li rushed over again when they received Duan Ling Tian’s message.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Xuan Yuan Zhi and Su Li who had rushed here and smiled. “Based on its decreasing speed, I think it’ll stop devouring the Celestial Ascension Force in a few dozen breaths’ time. I’ll be ascending soon. Big Brother Zhi and Su Li, I’ll wait for you in the Devata Realms.”

Xuan Yuan Zhi said solemnly, “Brother Ling Tian! The Devata Realms are unlike the mundane realms. You may stand at the peak in the mundane realms, but your strength might be considered weak in the Devata Realms. There are many Golden Celestials who are stronger than you. Above them are Great Overarching Golden Celestials and powerhouses who are even stronger. Please be careful when you get there!” As a member of the Yellow Thearch Mansion, he had read various ancient records, therefore, he had a slight knowledge about the Devata Realms.

“I will.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. In fact, he had already mentally prepared himself for this. He might be the strongest in the mundane realms, but he would be insignificant once he ascended to a Devata Realm!

“Duan Ling Tian, take care,” Su Li said. He did not say much, but one could see his reluctance to part in his eyes. He had met Duan Ling Tian at a young age. The fact that they were still friends to this day was a testament to how precious their friendship was. There was no doubt he truly treasured their friendship.

“Of course.” Duan Ling Tian nodded solemnly. His feelings were similar to Su Li’s feelings.

In just a blink of an eye, a few dozen breaths had passed.

“It has finally stopped,” Duan Ling Tian said. Just as he had estimated, the defective metal piece finally stopped devouring the Celestial Ascension force after a few dozen breaths.

Whoosh!

The Celestial Ascension Force became richer and richer, and Duan Ling Tian felt as though he was almost going to lose consciousness. However, he managed to stay conscious.

Fwuah!

Suddenly, with a flash, Xuan Yuan Zhi and Su Li’s figures began to blur before they disappeared. Duan Ling Tian’s vision was replaced by darkness in just an instant. It was as though day had suddenly turned into night. After a while, he felt himself slowly losing consciousness!
