Chapter 3080: The Power of Blood

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The God of Death’s Scythe Profundity was one of the offensive profundities of the law of death. Moreover, it was also the most powerful profundity of the law of death. Thus, it was widely known as the strongest offensive profundity of the law of death.

However, based on the current situation, Ling Jue Yun’s comprehension of the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity was still shallow. Judging from his attack, he had only barely grasped the basics of it. Therefore, he could not unleash it to its full potential. His comprehension level of the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity was similar to Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension level of the law of earth’s Gravitational Profundity and the law of fire’s Explosion Profundity.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Ling Jue Yun and said, “Based on my knowledge, the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity is the hardest profundity to comprehend from the law of death.”

“I see that you’re rather knowledgeable about the law of death… You’re right. The God of Death’s Scythe Profundity is the hardest profundity to comprehend among all the profundities of the law of death,” Ling Jue Yun replied as he nodded, slightly startled by Duan Ling Tian’s knowledge of the law of death. Then, he added, “I had only grasped its basics a few months ago. Although I’m able to cast it, it’s not very powerful at the moment.”

Duan Ling Tian said, “It might not be very powerful now, but as it is, it complements your existing techniques. It’s greatly beneficial to you.”

If Ling Jue Yun did not use the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity earlier, it would have been impossible for him to block the countless fiery sword qis. With that, it gave his clone the opportunity to resist the flood of magma pouring down.

“Duan Ling Tian, your comprehension of the law of fire is beyond my expectation… If I’m not mistaken, you used the law of earth in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm to conceal your true strength, right?” Ling Jue Yun asked.

“What if… Well, what if I say I only began comprehending the law of fire after joining the Simplicity Celestial Sect? Would you believe me?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a shrug.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, a slightly skeptical expression appeared on Ling Jue Yun’s face. How long had it been? Only less than years had passed since then. In less than ten years, it would have been considered an amazing feat if Duan Ling Tian managed to comprehend one profundity from the law of fire apart from the Fire Fundamental Profundity. However, Duan Ling Tian said, in this short time, he had comprehended two profundities, the Pillaging Profundity and the Burning Profundity, from the law of fire, apart from the law of fire’s Fundamental Profundity, the Fire Elemental Profundity?

In the end, Ling Jue Yun said, “Duan Ling Tian, you’re stronger than I expected… Nevertheless, it’s time to end this.” As soon as he finished speaking, his clothes fluttered from his aura of death. It gave him a dark appearance.

“So? Are you going to surrender?” Duan Ling Tian asked jokingly.

“Surrender?” Ling Jue Yun shook his head. He stared at Duan Ling Tian with eyes shining with determination as he said, “I just wanted to tell you that you’re going to lose soon.”

“I’m going to lose?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback by Ling Jue Yun’s declaration. When he regained his senses, he chuckled. “Although my speed is slower than yours at the moment, I’m capable of resisting all your attacks. What makes you think I’m going to lose? In fact, based on our battle earlier, worst-case scenario, I’d come to a draw with you.”

Duan Ling Tian did not reveal that he did not go all out earlier. He had also grasped the basics of the Explosion Profundity and could use it. It might not be powerful now, but it was sufficient to boost his speed to that of Ling Jue Yun. Moreover, it would also boost his attacks.

“You’re right.” A rare smile bloomed on Ling Jue Yun’s face. “However, you’re basing it on our earlier battle. How sure are you that I went all out earlier?” As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of bloodlust flashed briefly in the depths of his eyes.

At this moment, a blood mist appeared and shrouded Ling Jue Yun. As soon as the blood mist appeared, it merged with his Celestial Origin Energy that was boosted with the Death Elemental Profundity. In just an instant, the black aura of death around him contained a hint of red.

“My family inherited the power of blood… At my current cultivation base, my blood power had just awakened not too long ago. Although I had just awakened it, it can already greatly boost my strength!” Ling Jue Yun said. Before he finished speaking, his black Celestial Origin Energy with hints of red that looked like lightning bolts began to form scythes.

Then, Ling Jue Yun added, “At the very least, it can boost the law of death’s profundities that I have yet to completely grasp to the stage where they have been completely comprehended!” As soon as he finished speaking, the scythes formed from his energy seemed to take on corporeal forms.

“This…” Earlier, Duan Ling Tian could clearly see the aura of death around Ling Jue Yun fusing with his Celestial Origin Energy. Then, the Celestial Origin Energy had transformed into scythes that were slowly gaining corporeal forms. Upon seeing this, his expression turned grim. Naturally, he knew what this meant. With Ling Jue Yun’s power of blood, however temporary it was, at this moment, Ling Jue Yun had mastered the law of death’s God of Death’s Scythe Profundity to the rudimentary stage. There was, naturally, a vast difference in the power of the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity when one had only just grasped the basics compared to when one had mastered it to the rudimentary stage.

“After activating the power of blood, it’s almost like I’ve comprehended four profundities from the law of death. Do you still think you’re a match for me?” A half-smile appeared on Ling Jue Yun’s face. Then, he began to move. Unlike earlier, his speed when he charged toward Duan Ling Tian was much faster.

Simultaneously, the scythes around Ling Jue Yun were spinning rapidly like a troop of well-trained armies, waiting for his command to attack.

Swoosh!

At this moment, Ling Jue Yun’s clone from the law of death’s Undead Doppelganger Profundity aggressively advanced toward Duan Ling Tian as well.

This time, not only was Ling Jue Yun faster than Duan Ling Tian, but his attacks were significantly stronger than Duan Ling Tian’s attacks as well.

It was only natural that there was a world of difference in Ling Jue Yun’s strength compared to before. After all, earlier, he had attacked using the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity that he had only grasped the basics of. Currently, he was attacking with the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity that had been comprehended to the rudimentary stage.

Ling Jue Yun was fast. Duan Ling Tian almost did not have time to react. In just a blink of an eye, he had reached in front of Duan Ling Tian.

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

Buzzing noises rang in the air as the corporeal scythes spinning around Ling Jue Yun instantly shot out, seemingly sharp enough to tear open a spatial opening in the air.

Fortunately, despite Ling Jue Yun’s speed, Duan Ling Tian managed to evade the attacks.

“Explosion Profundity!” Faced with Ling Jue Yun’s domineering attacks, Duan Ling Tian quickly cast the law of fire’s Explosion Profundity even though he had only understood its basics. Although the Explosion Profundity was an offensive profundity, it could boost one’s speed to a certain extent as well. Apart from that, he also unleashed all the techniques he had used earlier at the same time.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A sky full of sword qis rained down immediately. As they collided with scythes, they exploded into dazzling fireworks. It was clear the sword qis were more powerful this time around.

“The law of fire’s Explosion Profundity?” Although Ling Jue Yun’s attacks managed to overpower the swords qis, causing them to explode, he was still surprised by the fact that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended another profundity from the law of fire. Naturally, he could tell Duan Ling Tian had yet to fully comprehend the Explosion Profundity and had only grasped its basics. It was similar to how he had only grasped the basics of the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity before he used his blood power.

A similar scene was reenacted.

However, the person who was hastily resisting and evading the attacks this time was not Ling Jue Yun but Duan Ling Tian. This time, Ling Jue Yun had the upper hand.

“I’m surprised you’ve grasped the basics of the law of fire’s Explosion Profundity… Regardless, you’re still not a match for me.” Ling Jue Yun did not stop his movements as Duan Ling Tian dodged his attacks. Instead, he continued with his attacks.

At the same time, Ling Jue Yun’s clone from his law of death’s Undead Doppelganger Profundity shadowed him, waiting for an opportunity to strike while the original fought Duan Ling Tian.

Bzz! Bzz! Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!

The scythes that had lost their shine after colliding with Duan Ling Tian’s sword qis brightened and gained corporeal forms again as Ling Jue Yun charged forward. Just like before, they seemed capable of piercing everything.

“Do you still have another trick up your sleeve? It’s best you use it now while you still have a chance. Otherwise, surrender. You’re not a match for me now.” Ling Jue Yun’s lips curved into a smirk as he advanced toward Duan Ling Tian. It was clear he was confident of his victory.

In Ling Jue Yun’s opinion, if Duan Ling Tian had other techniques up his sleeve, Duan Ling Tian would have used it earlier instead of just casting the Explosion Profundity that he had barely comprehended.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who did not care about winning could not help but frown slightly when he saw the smirk on Ling Jue Yun’s face. ‘This guy is quite… arrogant…’

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. ‘Isn’t it too early to think you’ll win?’

With that, Duan Ling Tian summoned the Chaos Divine Flame in his body. “Senior Chaos Divine Flame, I’d like to ask for your help. However, there’s no need for you to go all out like that time when we fought the Six Combos Celestial King from the Blood Skull Gang. This time, just a casual strike is enough.”
