Chapter 3079: The God of Death’s Scythe Profundity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Fire Elemental Profundity surged as he cast the Pillaging Profundity. With this, his speed was as fast as Ling Jue Yun.

The law of death was one of the Four Supreme Laws, therefore, it was superior to other laws. For example, the law of death’s Possessed Dead Profundity that Ling Jue Yun cast was more powerful than Duan Ling Tian’s law of fire’s Pillaging Profundity in all aspects. For example, the law of fire’s Pillaging Profundity was a movement and offensive profundity, but its offensive power was weaker than purely offensive profundities. On the other hand, the law of death’s Possessed Dead Profundity was also a movement and offensive profundity. However, its speed was as fast as the Pillaging Profundity, and its offensive power was comparable to those purely offensive profundities.

Ling Jue Yun was slightly taken aback when he saw Duan Ling Tian being engulfed in flames. As he kept a distance from Duan Ling Tian, he said, “I didn’t expect you to have comprehended the law of fire’s Pillaging Profundity as well… However, if this is the only profundity you comprehended from the law of fire, apart from the Fire Elemental Profundity, you’ll definitely lose!” After he finished speaking, the aura of death surged out from his body and seemed to morph into another Ling Jue Yun.

This clone of Ling Jue Yun was expressionless, and his eyes were bloodshot. Although he was not emitting the aura of death, his speed was not inferior to the real Ling Jue Yun.

With this clone, it was clear that after Ling Jue Yun had cast the Possessed Dead Profundity, he had cast the Undead Doppelganger Profundity.

Duan Ling Tian had witnessed Ling Jue Yun using the Undead Doppelganger Profundity when they were in the Celestial Lord Temple in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Therefore, he was not surprised by this technique. After joining the Simplicity Celestial Sect, his understanding of the law of death had grown deeper. The Undead Doppelganger Profundity was an offensive and assistive profundity. The doppelganger’s cultivation base and strength were no different from the original body. However, it could only use the law of death’s Fundamental Profundity, the Death Elemental Profundity. After all, if the doppelganger were able to use other profundities from the law of death, it would be capable of producing countless doppelgangers through the Undead Doppelganger Profundity. Nevertheless, just one doppelganger was still a force to be reckoned with. The doppelganger was indestructible unless the original body died. Even if one reduced the doppelganger to ashes, it would regain its form in a matter of seconds. Apart from that, when one cast the Undead Doppelganger Profundity, it also greatly boosted the strength of the user’s Celestial Origin Energy and speed. Therefore, as soon as the doppelganger appeared, Ling Jue Yun’s Celestial Origin Energy and speed grew even greater than before.

Swoosh!

After the boost from the Undead Doppelganger Profundity, Ling Jue Yun quickly caught up to Duan Ling Tian. As he drew closer to Duan Ling Tian who was engulfed in flames, his doppelganger followed closely behind him like a shadow.

“My speed isn’t a match for his… The Undead Doppelganger Profundity has boosted his speed tremendously. Although the Pillaging Profundity has increased my speed as well, it’s no match for the Undead Doppelganger Profundity.” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted when he saw Ling Jue Yun was swiftly catching up to him. In just an instant, a plan appeared in his mind.

Duan Ling Tian decided to stop evading Ling Jue Yun since his speed was inferior to Ling Jue Yun’s. If he continued to avoid Ling Jue Yun, he would only be handing the advantage over to Ling Jue Yun. Therefore, he decided to directly launch an attack. In his opinion, the combined force of the Pillaging Profundity and the Burning Profundity would be enough to suppress Ling Jue Yun and his Possessed Dead Profundity. The Pillaging Profundity’s offensive power might not be as powerful as the Undead Doppelganger’s offensive power, but the Burning Profundity’s offensive power was much more powerful than the Undead Doppelganger Profundity. After all, the Burning Profundity was one of the purely offensive profundities in the law of fire.

“Just in time!” Duan Ling Tian said confidently just when Ling Jue Yun almost caught up to him. In just an instant, he turned around and advanced toward Ling Jue Yun.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As Duan Ling Tian who was engulfed in flames charged toward Ling Jue Yun, the soaring flames surged several times higher than before. The heat caused the air to ripple as he moved.

“Is this the Burning Profundity?!” Ling Jue Yun had assumed he would be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian once he caught up to Duan Ling Tian. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would stop evading him and suddenly turned around to launch a direct attack instead. The flames that engulfed Duan Ling Tian not only grew hotter, but it grew bigger and surged higher than before. Needless to say, he was shocked by this.

‘Didn’t Duan Ling Tian comprehend the law of earth? Did he deliberately use the law of earth when we were in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm to mislead everyone? Does this mean the law of fire is his forte?’ Upon witnessing Duan Ling Tian using the law of fire’s Pillaging Profundity and Burning Profundity, Ling Jue Yun could not help but feel that Duan Ling Tian had deliberately misled everyone and hid his true strength by using the law of earth when they were in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

At this moment, as Duan Ling Tian drew closer to Ling Jue Yun, he said in a faint voice, “If this is all you’ve got… I’ll definitely defeat you within 10 moves!” As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed. The flames engulfing his body suddenly gathered and turned into fiery sword qis. The fiery sword qis spun around his body for a moment before they shot toward Ling Jue Yun.

The sound of sword cries rang in the air as the fiery sword qis shot out like a torrential rain of fire.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian leaped up higher into the air. Then, he pressed his hands down, aiming at Ling Jue Yun.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderous sounds of explosions resounded everywhere.

The flames surrounding Duan Ling Tian gathered and surged out of his palms like magma as though the floodgates had been opened. It poured down toward Ling Jue Yun.

Currently, in front of Ling Jue Yun, countless fiery sword qis were shooting toward him. At the same time, a flood of magma was falling on him from the top. Faced with these circumstances, he stopped moving. Similarly, his doppelganger stood beside him and stopped moving as well.

“Duan Ling Tian, you’re really something!” Ling Jue Yun raised his head and looked at Duan Ling Tian with a solemn expression. At this moment, the aura of death his body emitted suddenly intensified. Then, it merged with his Celestial Origin Energy before transforming into countless scythes. However, the scythes were not life-like, and their appearances were rather vague. It was clear he had not completely mastered this technique.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The scythes formed by Ling Jue Yun’s Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the Death Elemental Profundity shot toward Duan Ling Tian’s fiery sword qis.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The scythes and the fiery sword qis collided, causing a series of explosions.

At the same time, Ling Jue Yun’s doppelganger leaped into the air and extended his arms before charging straight into the pouring magma.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

After the sword qis and scythes collided, and the explosions died down. The aftermath of the collision revealed that the scythes were completely decimated while only a few weakened fiery sword qis hovered in the air.

Meanwhile, the magma poured down on the doppelganger, reducing it into ashes. However, the doppelganger quickly recovered its form. Then, it fearlessly charged toward the pouring magma over and over again. Eventually, the time it took for the doppelganger to regain its form grew longer, and the outpour of the magma seemed to be almost exhausted as well.

At this moment, Ling Jue Yun quickly left the battlefield at top speed after deflecting the impact from Duan Ling Tian’s attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Part of the impact from Duan Ling Tian’s attack swept over the forest, burning a large area to the ground and creating a huge scorching pit.

“I didn’t expect you to have some basic comprehension of the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity,” Duan Ling Tian said in surprise as he looked at Ling Jue Yun. His purple robes fluttered in the air as he maintained his position in the air.
