The auras of the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring and Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring were in perfect harmony once they merged.

Duan Ling Tian even coined a name for the rings after they merged: the Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring!

Every tip on the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring and the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring was similar. As such, after merging, there were still nine tips on the ring.

After Duan Ling Tian sent some Celestial Origin Energy boosted with the Fire Elemental Profundity into the Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring, a burst of green and red flames flashed brightly.

“Go!” Duan Ling Tian’s gaze was cold as he threw the Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring out. Subsequently, seemingly sharp blades formed from the red and green flames easily sliced through the force generated by the law of earth’s Gravitational Space Profundity before colliding with the force of the Shake Profundity.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of the collision between the flaming blades and the force of the Shake Profundity was thunderously loud. The flames seemed to waver; weakening at times and surging violently at times. After a brief standstill, the flames surged and overwhelmed the force from the Shake Profundity completely. Subsequently, the flames continued on their trajectory like an angry dragon and destroyed the pillars that held Duan Ling Tian captive. With Duan Ling Tian controlling the flames, it did not dissipate after destroying the pillars. It continued shooting forward toward the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended three profundities from the law of earth.

“No!!!” The peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who comprehended three profundities from the law of earth cried out miserably before he died. He was the second peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended three profundities from a law to die.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian could hear the sounds of battles continuing to ring in the air.

The others were still engaged in the deadly battles. Since they were stuck in the Illusory Formation and could only see one opponent in front of them, they only had two choices: kill or be killed.

Naturally, no one would choose to be killed. Therefore, everyone did not hold back and fought with all their might.

When Duan Ling Tian was battling the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended three profundities from the law of earth, Jiang Lan had been watching from a distance. ‘With his combined Royal Grade Celestial Weapons, Duan Ling Tian might possibly be stronger than Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang… If they were to fight him now, they might die.’

Jiang Lan continued thinking to himself, ‘However, Duan Ling Tian draws his strength from his Celestial Weapons… Although he’s quite talented to have comprehended two profundities from the law of fire when he’s not even 100 years old, he’s still not comparable to Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang. I’ll let him be for now and deal with him later. He’s no threat to me at all considering he draws his strength from his Celestial Weapons.’

With that thought in mind, Jiang Lan no longer paid attention to Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, he no longer bothered selecting strong opponents for Duan Ling Tian.

Meanwhile, under Jiang Lan’s manipulation, Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang had to consecutively fight peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had comprehended three profundities from a law. Nevertheless, the duo managed to defeat all the opponents who were sent their way.

Jiang Lan was not surprised by Lin Fei Yang’s victories, but he was rather surprised by Ling Jue Yun’s victories. Therefore, he observed Ling Jue Yun a little longer.

‘Is that… the law of death’s main offensive profundity, the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity?’

As Jiang Lan observed Ling Jue Yun, he noticed Ling Jue Yun casting a new profundity as Ling Jue Yun fought a new opponent.

It was the law of death’s offensive profundity, the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity, that Ling Jue Yun had yet to completely comprehend. Although his comprehension of the God of Death’s Scythe Profundity was only at the basic stage, the increase in his strength from the profundity was enough to help him kill peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had comprehended three profundities from a law.

Jiang Lan could see that, to a certain extent, Ling Jue Yun was stronger than Lin Fei Yang. Although the duo comprehended the same number of profundities, Ling Jue Yun had comprehended the law of death, one of the Four Supreme Laws. Moreover, Ling Jue Yun had also begun to comprehend the law of death’s main offensive profundity. Therefore, it was only natural that Ling Jue Yun was stronger than Lin Fei Yang. He looked at Ling Jue Yun and thought to himself, ‘If I’m able to choose one of them to bear the enslavement mark, my choice would be Ling Jue Yun. Although Lin Fei Yang is talented, he’s not as talented as Ling Jue Yun.’

After a brief moment, Jiang Lan turned his attention to the remaining peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. At this time, there were only roughly 300 peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials left. All of them had comprehended three profundities from a law like Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang. However, these people were much older than Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang and were close to reaching 200 years old.

Jiang Ling looked at the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. “The tree of Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit is at the critical stage of bearing fruits now…”

At this moment, the two flower buds had bloomed into two blood-red flowers. Each flower had nine petals and glowed with blood-red light. Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see dense blood-red mist shrouding the flowers. At the stems of the two flowers, there was a lump that was pulsing and growing.

…

As time passed, a dozen peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials had perished.

Among the surviving peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, there were quite a number of them who had begun to comprehend their fourth profundity. With a little more effort, they would be able to kill those who had comprehended three profundities and had yet to comprehend the fourth profundity.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

After the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit absorbed more blood energy and soul fire, the two nine-petal flowers merged with the lumps that had suddenly grown in size.

After the lumps grew in size, there were visible bolts of blood-red lightning flashing around them.

“We’ve finally reached this stage!” Jiang Lan’s eyes lit up when he saw the two lumps. Then, he began to move his hands again and traced complex patterns in the air.

Following that, a translucent shield suddenly appeared around the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the blood energy and soul fire from fallen peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials flew toward the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit like before. However, before the tree could absorb them, they were blocked by the translucent shield that Jiang Lan had just conjured up.

The pulling force from the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit intensified as it tried to absorb the blood energy and soul fire, but it was firmly blocked by the shield.

At this moment, Ling Jue Yun’s voice promptly rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind through Voice Transmission. “Rumor has it that once the embryos of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit appear, one can increase the chances of the tree bearing fruits by withholding and accumulating all the blood energy and soul fire before sending it into the tree all at once. Naturally, this is just a rumor. No one has been able to verify it. Even if someone had experimented, they had never stepped forward to verify this theory. In my opinion, Jiang Lan isn’t sure as well, and he’s just trying his luck. After all, there’s really no harm in trying.”

Naturally, Ling Jue Yun kept a straight face as he communicated with Duan Ling Tian. He also had to pretend he did notice the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit or its changes.

“I see.” Duan Ling Tian had also noticed the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit’s changes and Jiang Lan’s actions. He was confused when he saw Jiang Lan stopping the tree from absorbing more blood energy and soul fire until he heard Ling Jue Yun’s explanation. After a moment, he asked through Voice Transmission, “You mentioned the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit’s embryos… Are you referring to the two blood-red lumps?”

On top of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit’s tree, the two blood-red lumps seemed to have absorbed the flowers that had bloomed.

“Yes,” Ling Jue Yun promptly replied, “The appearance of the embryos means the tree is at the final stage. It’ll either bear fruit or fail to bear fruit!”
