Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
After the barrier shattered, the accumulated blood energy and soul fire swept out like stampeding beasts into the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit and to the embryos. The embryos began to tremble and contract in size repeatedly. The blood-red mist shrouding the embryos was brewing violently as well. This indicated the embryos were in the process of bearing fruits. Only time would tell if it would be a success.
Jiang Lan raised his hands and traced a complex pattern in the air again as he scoffed.
The Illusory Formation shattered immediately.
Lin Fei Yang and the two surviving peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, a young man and a middle-aged man, saw a flash of light. When their visions returned to them, they discovered they were in a huge cave on a floating island. Moreover, previously, they could not see anyone but their opponents, but at this time, they saw each other, Duan Ling Tian, and Ling Jue Yun. The expressions on the trio’s faces changed drastically as they stared at Jiang Lan warily as though they were facing a formidable opponent.
Jiang Lan glanced at the five survivors and nonchalantly said, “I must say, it’s impressive that five of you managed to survive out of 10,000 people.”
“Hm?”
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun finally realized Jiang Lan had removed the Illusory Formation. They were none the wiser since they were not affected in the first place. They only knew the Illusory Formation had been removed when they saw Lin Fei Yang and the other two’s reactions.
“W-what do you mean by this?” the middle-aged man asked in a trembling voice. Although he was not even 200 years old and was considered to have high innate talent and comprehension skills, he was nothing in front of Jiang Lan.
After all, Jiang Lan had comprehended four profundities from the law of water, and he was not even 100 years old. The middle-aged man, on the other hand, had only comprehended three profundities and had just begun to comprehend the fourth profundity from the law of thunder.
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian, Ling Jue Yun, Lin Fei Yang, and the young man shifted their eyes to Jiang Lan in unison.
Hints of surprise and unease could be seen in Lin Fei Yang and the young man’s eyes, but Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun remained calm.
Jiang Lan did not think much of Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun’s abnormal reaction. He assumed they were just feigning their calmness and were actually brimming with fear inwardly.
“What do you think I mean?” Jiang Lan smiled faintly. “Out of 10,000 people, only five of you survived… Everyone else is dead, reduced to ashes!” His smile seemed to grow wider when he mentioned the death of 10,000 people as though it was nothing.
“D-dead?!”
“All of them are dead?!”
The expressions of Lin Fei Yang and the two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials changed drastically. They instinctively looked around. Alas, they saw no one else but the five of them, excluding Jiang Lan.
“If they’re all dead, where are their corpses?” Lin Fei Yang asked after taking a deep breath. He was staring intently at Jiang Lan.
“Weren’t you listening? I said they were reduced to ashes and disappeared! What’s so hard to understand?” Jiang Lan glanced at Lin Fei Yang, the corner of his lips curling up into a sinister smile.
Turned into ashes and disappeared!
Lin Fei Yang’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained the same when he heard Jiang Lan’s words. He said, “You said they turned into ashes and disappeared? You’re powerful, but it’s impossible for you to kill all of them!”
“When did I say I killed them?” Jiang Lan burst out in laughter. “I remember your name is Lin Fei Yang, right? Do you remember the people you killed while you were trapped in the Illusory Formation?”
Upon hearing Jiang Lan’s words, the expressions of the two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials changed again. An ominous feeling rose in their hearts.
Jiang Lan stared at Lin Fei Yang meaningfully before he said, “If I say that the people you killed were part of the 10,000 people I gathered, would you believe me?”
“I-impossible!” Lin Fei Yang’s face paled immediately. “I remember their faces. Those people aren’t part of the 10,000 people!”
Lin Fei Yang had an outstanding memory. With just a glance, he could vaguely commit people’s faces to memory. Although his impression might not be very clear, he would still recognize them.
“You were trapped in an Illusory Formation. Isn’t it normal for that Formation to be capable of changing their appearances?” Jiang Lan’s smile grew wider. “It’s not just you… Everyone has taken part in the killing. All of you were killing each other under the effect of the Illusory Formation…” Jiang Lan replied. Then, he swept his eyes over everyone before they rested on Duan Ling Tian. Then, he said, “Duan Ling Tian, in particular, killed many peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. The number of people he killed isn’t any less than the combined number of people four of you killed!”
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Ling Jue Yun, turned to look at Duan Ling Tian.
At this moment, Ling Jue Yun sent a message to Duan Ling Tian and reminded him somberly, “Now is the most critical moment… Don’t expose yourself. If he attacks either of us, we’ll defend with all our might. The other person will be in charge of sneaking up on him and killing him. We have only one chance to do this right. If he doesn’t die, even if we survive, a reincarnated Celestial Emperor like him will definitely seek revenge from us in the future when we least expect it!”
Someone who could become a Celestial Emperor should never be taken lightly, after all.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression was solemn as he said, “I thought those people I killed were just a product of the Illusory Formation! I didn’t expect them to be people who were also tricked by you. What do you want? What’s your objective?”
Jiang Lan did not answer Duan Ling Tian’s question. Instead, he said, “Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to own two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons that can be merged. Their combined power is almost that of an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. Not only are you talented and have a high comprehension skill, but it seems like you’re lucky as well.”
Jiang Lan’s words drew everyone’s attention to Duan Ling Tian.
Two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons? Moreover, according to Jiang Lan, the Royal Grade Celestial Weapons were compatible and could be merged into one. Their combined power was almost comparable to that of an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!
Lin Fei Yang and the other two’s eyes lit up immediately.
“Duan Ling Tian has Royal Grade Celestial Weapons?”
“Moreover, his two weapons are compatible and could be combined!”
It was only natural for a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who possessed a pair of Royal Grade Celestial Weapons to draw people’s attention.
“No matter how lucky I am, I can’t compare to a reincarnated Celestial like you,” Duan Ling Tian said.
“Of course!” Jiang Lan raised his head arrogantly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian contemptuously, “In terms of luck, naturally, you’re no match for me. If I had the powers from my past life, I’d be able to kill you with just a flick of my finger!”
“He’s really a reincarnated Celestial!” This was the first time Jiang Lan had acknowledged he was a reincarnated Celestial.
Lin Fei Yang and the other two had already suspected this, but they were still shocked when it was confirmed.
“Kill me with just a flick of a finger?” Duan Ling Tian raised his eyebrows, feigning surprise. “W-were you a Celestial Lord in your past life?”
Lin Fei Yang and the others immediately turned to look at Jiang Lan, eager to hear his answer.
“Celestial Lord?” Jiang Lan’s face was brimming with disdain. “Celestial Lords are nothing! I was a Celestial Emperor!”
A Celestial Emperor!
Lin Fei Yang and the other two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials widened their eyes in shock. When they were on the peak of the mountain, someone had speculated that Jiang Lan might be a reincarnated Celestial Emperor. However, most of them dismissed that speculation. After all, to them, Celestial Emperors were legendary.
“Jiang Lan is a reincarnated Celestial Emperor?”
After the shock subsided, a thought appeared in Lin Fei Yang and the other two’s minds: why would a reincarnated Celestial Emperor gather so many of us here and have us kill each other? What’s his objective?
