Chapter 3099 - : The Translucent Barrier Has Shattered

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Lan could not wait to kill the remaining survivors, but he knew it was not the right time to make his move. Since this group of people was stuck in the Illusory Formation, if he made a move now, it would shatter the Illusory Formation and free them. Although he was powerful, if these people joined forces to deal with him, he might be severely injured. Naturally, he did not want something like that to happen.

“When the barrier surrounding the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit shatters, it’ll affect the Illusory Formation. At that time, these people would be freed from the Illusory Formation. There’d probably be a few survivors left at that time. I’ll kill them all as soon as that happens before they regain their senses. With my strength and Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, it won’t be difficult for me to kill them before the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit bears fruits!” Jiang Lan decided to kill the remaining survivors as soon as the barrier shattered.

‘I’ll spare Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang’s lives first… I’ll spare whoever is willing to bear the enslavement mark and grant him one of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits so that he can become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke as well!’ Jiang Lian mused inwardly as his eyes drifted toward Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang. If it was possible, he wanted to enslave one of the two. Naturally, it would be best if both of them were willing to submit themselves to him. However, he could only give the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit to one of them, and his choice was Ling Jue Yun. Although Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang had comprehended three profundities and had basic comprehension of a fourth profundity, Ling Jue Yun had comprehended the law of death, one of the Four Supreme Laws. Compared to Lin Fei Yan who comprehended the law of water, Ling Jue Yun obviously had a greater potential.

…

The sounds of battles continued to ring in the cave as people died one after another.

What a pity! These people were all geniuses in their own right. They were all outstanding peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials whom Jiang Lan had carefully selected and gathered from grade-seven forces across different Devata Realms. He did not bother without those higher-grade forces since, with his current strength, he would have a hard time keeping the situation under his control. He was unafraid of powerhouses from grade-seven forces. However, if grade-six forces were involved, they might send Celestial Lords after him. The Formation he had cast in his past life would not be able to withstand the force of a Celestial Lord. Hence, to minimize the risk, he only selected those from grade-seven forces. In grade-seven forces, a peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial less than 200 years old who had comprehended three profundities from a law was considered a once-in-10,000 year genius. Alas, all these talents’ lives were treated like trash here.

“The translucent barrier seems like it’s going to shatter at any moment…” Duan Ling Tian sent a message to Ling Jue Yun after looking at the barrier once he killed an opponent.

The translucent barrier was trembling violently now as blood energy and soul fire continued to fly toward it. As soon as the barrier shattered, the accumulated blood energy and soul fire would be instantly absorbed by the embryos of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. However, success was not guaranteed; there was still a chance it would fail to bear fruit. If it failed, the embryos would wither before vanishing into thin air.

“I think it’s going to collapse after another five or six people die!” Ling Jue Yun replied after a quick observation.

“Five or six people…” Duan Ling Tian briefly scanned his surroundings. Including him, Ling Jue Yun, Lin Fei Yang, and Jiang Lan, there were currently only 12 people left. In other words, after the translucent barrier shattered, only six or seven people would still be alive.

“Did you notice your recent opponents were mostly those who have begun to comprehend the fourth profundity? However, Lin Fei Yang and I have only been given opponents who comprehended three profundities. None of our opponents have even touched the fourth profundity,” Ling Jue Yun asked.

“Is that so?” Duan Ling Tian replied nonchalantly. He did not notice this, but he did not think it mattered. He thought it was just a coincidence.

“I suspect he intends to spare me and Lin Fei Yang… Don’t forget, the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit will bear two fruits, and he can consume only one. Someone like him would definitely appreciate talented people. For example, peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials under 100 years old who have comprehended three profundities and are in the process of comprehending the fourth one. After all, it’d only benefit him to have a talented follower,” Ling Jue Yun speculated.

Upon hearing Ling Jue Yun’s words, realization finally dawned on Duan Ling Tian. “So you’re saying he’s deliberately assigning easier opponents for you and Lin Fei Yang because he wants both of you to survive so both of you can become his subordinates?” He finally realized it was not a coincidence that his last ten opponents were all in the process of comprehending their fourth profundity.

Whoosh!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, another peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial appeared before him in just a blink of an eye.

His opponent was a young man wearing long yellow robes.

Duan Ling Tian had noticed this young man earlier and knew that the young man had comprehended three profundities from the law of thunder and was in the process of comprehending the fourth profundity.

“Indeed, it’s not a coincidence…” This yellow-clad young man’s appearance further confirmed Ling Jue Yun’s speculation.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Duan Ling Tian had killed a dozen of peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials with strength on par with the yellow-clad young man so it was no surprise that he easily defeated his latest opponent.

Since Ling Jue Yun was deliberately hiding his true strength, Duan Ling Tian was the fastest among them to kill his opponents. When the others had killed one opponent, he had already killed a few of his opponents.

After killing the yellow-clad young man, no one else appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian.

This was because apart from Duan Ling Tian, there were only ten people left, and these people were engaged in a battle. In fact, Ling Jue Yun was in the midst of a battle when he conversed with Duan Ling Tian earlier.

“This Duan Ling Tian…” Jiang Lan glanced coldly at Duan Ling Tian as he hovered above the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. “He’s the strongest person in the group… Once the barrier shatters, except for Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang, I’ll kill everyone first and save Duan Ling Tian for last. I want him to fall into the abyss of despair as he helplessly watches me kill the others!”

Although Jiang Lan did not think much about Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he was annoyed and displeased by Duan Ling Tian’s dominance. For this reason, he wanted to see Duan Ling Tian suffer in despair before killing him.

At this moment, Ling Jue Yun’s opponent cried out in despair with his eyes wide open before he fell to the ground, “No!”

Soon after, Lin Fei Yang and a green-clad young man defeated their respective opponents at the same time.

The green-clad young man had comprehended three profundities and was in the process of comprehending the fourth profundity from the law of wind. His strength was comparable to Lin Fei Yang, but he was much older than Lin Fei Yang.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The translucent barrier trembled again as blood energy and soul fire from a few people landed on it. At this moment, fine cracks began to appear on the barrier.

‘The barrier is barely holding on… Once those four are done with their battles, it’ll definitely shatter,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he looked at the barrier and the two ongoing battles between four peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials.

Out of the four, two of them had comprehended three profundities and had a basic comprehension of the fourth profundity. Their opponents had only comprehended three profundities.

Just as the battles were about to end, a young man dressed in a fur coat over green robes suddenly appeared before Duan Ling Tian.

The young man was strong, but roughly a dozen people with similar strength had been killed by Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian directly attacked the young man and easily killed him. As soon as the battle ended, the other two battles ended as well.

The blood energy and soul fire from these people flew swiftly toward the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Fruit and landed on the barrier.

Boom!

The translucent barrier had finally shattered!
