Chapter 2895: Li An’s Death

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate, only a few people are privy to the reason the sky changed.

“This…”

“Is… is this the Duke Grade Divine Ability, the Eastern Purple Qi, from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?”

Bai Ping and Tie Tai He, the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect respectively, stared at Duan Ling Tian with a shocked expression on their faces.

Duan Ling Tian easily flew into the air with Huan’er in his arm as his aura surged and exploded into a purple streak of light.

Boom!

The ground began to quake as the horizon near the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate turned purple…

“Master Duan has mastered the Eastern Purple Qi?”

“It looks like one of the methods from the Eastern Purple Qi called the Purple Void. This method can only be used once one has completely mastered the Eastern Purple Qi, right?”

“The Purple Void has shrouded the entire Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate… Seems like the Purple Void cast by the two Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect didn’t even reach 10% of the Purple Void that Master Duan cast, right?”

“Judging from Master Duan’s display of strength… He must have surpassed the level of an ordinary Celestial King! It’s impossible for an ordinary Celestial King to cast to such an overwhelmingly powerful Purple Void.”

“It’s said those targeted by the Purple Void will not be able to hide or escape as long as they remain in the Purple Void.”

While Bai Ping and Tie Tia He discussed among themselves, the prominent Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, and Ji Fan, the Arhat of the Blissful Sect, overheard their conversations. They were perplexed.

‘Master Duan… Is a Celestial King?’ Situ Ming was dumbfounded. It took him a while to regain his senses.

‘Duan Ling Tian a Celestial King? In fact, he doesn’t seem like an ordinary Celestial King. When he cast the Purple Void, it’s far more powerful than when the two Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect cast it.’ After overhearing Bai Ping and Tie Tai He’s conversation and sensing Duan Ling Tian’s aura, Ji Fan who was shocked and terrified fell to his knees and trembled uncontrollably. Many questions flitted in his mind at this moment. ‘How’s this possible? How’s he so powerful? Didn’t he just ascend here not too long ago? Isn’t he younger than 100 years old? How’s this possible?’ He wished with all his might that the scene before him was just a nightmare.

After a few breaths, an energetic yet frightened voice rang in the air. A hint of false bravado could be heard in the tone. “The Eastern Purple Qi! Your mastery of the Eastern Purple Qi is, indeed, powerful! Not even an ordinary Celestial King is capable of this!” It was none other than Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, who had spoken.

At this moment, a disciple of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who was hovering in the sky above the sect’s estate cried out, “Look! The purple sky is starting to revert to its original color!”

Everyone instinctively turned to look. They saw the purple energy receding at a fast speed.

“Look! There’s a figure in the middle!”

A figure could be seen in the center where the purple energy seemed to be attracted to.

“It’s a monk!”

“Isn’t… Isn’t that the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, Li An? I’ve met him once!”

“What? This shabby looking monk is the strongest Nine Palaces Celestial Duke in the Six Southern Regions, Li An?”

Li An who was surrounded by the purple energy looked miserable in his torn kasaya. His aura seemed to have disappeared.

Just as the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect slowly approached Li An…

Swoosh!

A purple and white figure suddenly appeared out of thin air near Li An. Their appearance caught the attention of the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect instantly.

“Isn’t… isn’t that Master Duan?”

“Lady Huan’er is there as well…”

The members of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, naturally, recognized Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er who were embracing tightly looked like they were one entity for a brief moment.

Duan Ling Tian scoffed and said disdainfully, “Who would expect the strongest Nine Palaces Celestial Duke in the Six Southeastern Regions would have such a day as well.” His expression was calm. One of his arms was still wrapped tightly around Huan’er while the other rested on his back.

“Master Duan.” At this time, Bai Ping, Tie Tai He, and Situ Ming finally arrived near Duan Ling Tian.

“Grandmaster!” Ji Fan cried out. He had tried to escape but was cowed by Bai Ping’s pointed and threatening stare. He could only obediently follow them here. When he saw Li An’s miserable and roughed up appearance, his expression changed drastically. He rushed to Li An’s side. It was an instinctive reaction. After all, Li An was the only one who could make him feel secure at this moment regardless if it was obvious Li An was no match for Duan Ling Tian.

“Duan Ling Tian, I underestimated you.” Li An looked at Duan Ling Tian and laughed mirthlessly. “I thought you’re a mere transcender; I didn’t expect you to be so strong… However, I don’t think this is your true strength, right? You must have used some secret technique.” Li An’s energy had dropped drastically that he struggled just to speak. It was clear he was severely injured.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before Duan Ling Tian could react, two beams of grey light shot out from Li An’s glabella as he stared at Duan Ling Tian.

“A Soul Attack!” The people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were shocked to see Li An casting a Soul Attack on Duan Ling Tian.

“Your resistance is futile!” Duan Ling Tian smirked coldly. He knew Li An would think his soul was not on par with the strength he displayed. After all, if he only possessed the strength of a Celestial Lord without the corresponding soul and Celestial Origin Energy, he would be vulnerable to Soul Attacks. Alas, he did not use such a secret technique. The consumable Royal Grade Weapon not only granted him strength comparable to Celestial Lord, but it also temporarily gave him the soul and Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial King to match. Although it was just the strength of an ordinary Celestial Lord, it was still more than enough to conquer the entire Six Southeastern Regions if he so wished.

At this moment, a light flashed in Duan Ling Tian’s left eye and easily destroyed Li An’s Soul Attack before it hit Li An’s soul.

Li An hastily said with his last breath before his soul was destroyed by Duan Ling Tian, “Duan Ling Tian, it was me who wanted to kill you. It has nothing to do with the Blissful Sect!”

“Is that so?” Duan Ling Tian sneered when he heard Li An’s words.

At the same time, the purple energy that rendered Li An immobile finally disappeared with just a thought from Duan Ling Tian. Then, Li An’s body fell from the sky and hit the ground with a loud thud.

Then, Duan Ling Tian smiled coldly as he looked at Ji Fan and asked, “Arhat… Is he telling the truth?”
