Chapter 3026: Another Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What?!” Ou Ya’s words frightened Murong Xiao Xiao. “A p-purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?!”

Just like purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons were rare among King Grade Celestial Weapons, purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapons were very rare and valuable among Royal Grade Celestial Weapons as well. They were only second to soul defense Royal Grade Celestial Weapons. In fact, a purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon was almost as valuable as an ordinary Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!

“That’s right.” Ou Ya nodded. She no longer wasted time and descended to three stone blocks 100 meters below the second-highest stone blocks. With her strength, it would not be difficult to claim one of three stone blocks.

Naturally, just because Ou Ya was wise enough to give up on fighting Ling Jue Yun for his seat, it did not mean others would give up.

Soon enough, a red-clad middle-aged man, one of the four men who were terrified of Duan Ling Tian, flew toward Ling Jue Yun. Although Murong Xiao Xiao’s seat was on the same level as Ling Jue Yun’s seat, he did not dare to challenge Murong Xiao Xiao for her seat since Murong Xiao Xiao’s strength was widely known. On the other hand, Ling Jue Yun was just a nameless young man.

Moreover, since Duan Ling Tian had communicated with Ling Jue Yun through Voice Transmission earlier when he had given Li Yuan’s point to Ling Jue Yun, most people did not know they were acquainted. Although they had seen Ling Jue Yun obtaining the points, they assumed Duan Ling Tian had randomly chosen Ling Jue Yun.

Li Yuan was a never-seen-before genius from a grade-eight sect. For that reason, the sect regarded him as their lifeline.

Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun had even more formidable backgrounds. Both of them came from grade-seven clans that had many powerhouses.

If any of these people knew who murdered the geniuses from their clans and sects, there was no doubt they would seek revenge.

For these reasons, they were not surprised Duan Ling Tian had given the points away. They had assumed the points were given to Ling Jue Yun because he was seated closest to Duan Ling Tian.

Only Ou Ya, Xue Jing Yu, and a few others knew that Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun were acquainted and had witnessed Ling Jue Yun’s strength during the second trial in the Celestial Lord Temple. However, they were all busy fighting for a good seat or comprehending the law of time. They did not have the time nor the energy to warn the others who were unaware.

‘Yun Zhan!’ Murong Xiao Xiao recognized the red-clad middle-aged man who planned to challenge Ling Jue Yun. He was a disciple from a grade-eight sect, and he was not as young as the other participants. His appearance was that of a middle-aged man, but he was, in fact, more than 1,000 years old. He had suppressed his cultivation base and comprehended the profundities from a law so he could enter the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Not only did Yun Zhan comprehend two profundities from the law of earth, but due to his age, he had many combat experiences as well. All these factors contributed to his strength.

Murong Xiao Xiao did not think she would be able to defeat Yun Zhan during the time when she had just begun to comprehend the second profundity from the law of water.

Ling Jue Yun looked at Yun Zhan, who was standing nearby, indifferently before he said in a frosty voice, “I’ll give you a chance… Get out of my sight immediately. Otherwise, you’ll have to stay in the Celestial Lord Temple and the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm forever!”

After repeating Duan Ling Tian’s earlier words to Li Yuan, Ling Jue Yun thought to himself, ‘I feel cool saying this…’

Yun Zhan did not expect Ling Jue Yun to repeat Duan Ling Tian’s words to him.

Since Ling Jue Yun did not make an effort to lower his voice, everyone heard his domineering words. They stopped fighting immediately and looked at the two second-highest seats. They saw a grey-clad young man sitting cross-legged on one of two stone blocks with a sheathed long sword on his lap. His words, naturally, caused an uproar. Many of them were rendered speechless by his words.

“Huh? He’s less than 100 years old!”

“Hey, aren’t his words a copy of Duan Ling Tian’s words to Li Yuan?”

“This… This is my first time seeing such a lazy person! Is it that difficult for him to think of his own line? Is there a need to copy someone else’s line?”

“Does this guy think he’s Duan Ling Tian? Is he under the delusion that he possesses an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon like Duan Ling Tian?”

“Are Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons so easy to obtain now?!”

All of them were also curious if Ling Jue Yun would be able to withstand the attack from Yun Zhan. Many of them knew who Yun Zhan was. On the contrary, most of them had never heard of or seen Ling Jue Yun before.

“The red-clad middle-aged man is Yun Zhan. He’s an outer elder of the grade-eight Thousand Autumn Sect. He intentionally suppressed his cultivation base to that of a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial so he could enter the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. He has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth. Coupled with his thousand years of experience, he’s actually quite strong.”

“I’ve never seen the gray-clad young man before…”

“Is there anyone who knows anything about him?”

At this moment, someone looked at Xue Jing Yu and asked, “Mister, you arrived with Duan Ling Tian and that gray-clad young man, right? How strong is he? Is he a match for Yun Zhan?”

“I don’t know.” Xue Jing Yu shook his head, feigning cluelessness. He knew Ling Jue Yun was extraordinarily strong and possessed a purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. He had no intention of revealing this since he despised Yun Zhan and the other shameless old men who deliberately suppressed their cultivation bases just to enter the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm and compete with their juniors for treasures and fortuitous encounters.

Many people who had arrived in Time Valley with Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun were also asked the same question. All of them pretended not to know anything, sharing the same thought as Xue Jing Yu.

“It seems like this gray-clad young man who’s less than 100 years old has only comprehended one profundity from a law.”

“Impossible… If he’s truly so weak, do you think he’d have the guts to claim the second-highest seat? I think he has comprehended two profundities from a law.”

“He’s not even 100 years old and you think he has comprehended two profundities from a law? Do you really think there are so many geniuses like Duan Ling Tian?”

“Perhaps, he wants to take advantage of Duan Ling Tian’s reputation to fool people into thinking he’s as strong as Duan Ling Tian?”

“That’s possible!”

There were a lot of discussions going on, and in the end, most of them agreed Yun Zhan would win Ling Jue Yun’s seat. They did not think Yun Zhan was going to show Ling Jue Yun any mercy due to the arrogant words Ling Jue Yun had copied from Duan Ling Tian.

Indeed, Yun Zhan was infuriated and humiliated by Ling Jue Yun’s response. His eyes were narrowed, and his face was flushed red from anger. In just a blink of an eye, his Celestial Origin Energy surged out. Since it had been boosted with the law of earth’s Earth Elemental Profundity, the energy around him was mustard color. At the same time, sand and pebbles around him rose into the air.

Although Yun Zhan and Duan Ling Tian comprehend the same law, unlike Duan Ling Tian, he really comprehended the two profundities from the law of earth. In truth, Duan Ling Tian had only fully comprehended one profundity and was in the midst of comprehending the second profundity.

The mustard energy around Yun Zhan surged violently as more pebbles and stones flew toward him. In the end, the stones and pebbles almost completely covered him.

The air rippled like water into the surroundings.

“The law of earth’s Shaking Profundity?” Ling Jue Yun raised an eyebrow when he saw this. He unhurriedly lifted his hand.

Upon seeing this, many people thought he was going to unsheathe his sword. However, they were proven wrong when they saw him raising his hand over his head.

‘What’s he doing?’ Murong Xiao Xiao, who was closest to Ling Jue Yun, frowned slightly, perplexed. In the next moment, she saw a black vortex appear on Ling Jue Yun’s palm. Then, the tip of a sword slowly came out from his palm. Her eyes widened in shock, and her heart raced in her chest. ‘An Emperor… Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon?!’

It was widely known that Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons could be kept in one’s body, after all.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a three-foot-long sword with bolts of gray lightning flashing around it appeared in Ling Jue Yun’s hand.

“An Emperor… Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!?”

“Another Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon?!”

“This… How’s this possible? When did Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons become so common? Duan Ling Tian has one, and Ling Jue Yun also has one!”

Everyone, including Xue Jing Yu and the others, was dumbfounded when they saw Ling Jue Yun taking out an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. To them, Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons were legendary and incredibly rare. How could they not be dumbstruck seeing two Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons consecutively?

At this moment, a trembling voice laden with horror rang from the void where the stones and pebbles gathered. “I…I…I give up…I give up! I give up!”
