Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian was taken aback when he saw Ling Jue Yun flying to the second-highest stone blocks without saying anything. “He… gave up? This isn’t like him at all…”

“Little Feng is worried you’ll vent your anger out on me if he defeats you.” Huang’er’s voice sounded in Duan Ling Tian’s sea of consciousness in a timely manner.

Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by Huang’er’s words. He only looked at Ling Jue Yun’s back silently. As it turned out, Ling Jue Yun fled without a fight because he was afraid he would vent his anger on Huang’er if he lost.

Meanwhile, the people in Time Valley were still in shock about being able to comprehend the law of time. However, now that someone had made the first move, all of them snapped back to their senses and moved one after another.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A group of people, including Xue Jing Yu and the others who were standing near Duan Ling Tian, flew into the air and made their way toward the blocks of stones. Most of them only comprehended one profundity from a law and were well aware of the limitations of their strength so none of them dared to claim the six highest stone blocks.

The six coveted stone blocks were the highest seats. There was one stone block at the highest point. A hundred meters below the highest stone block were two stone blocks. Finally, 100 meters below the two second-highest stone blocks were three stone blocks.

Currently, only Ling Jue Yun had gone to the top and chose one of the two second-highest seats. The second-highest seats were also the ones that were targeted by the black-clad young man who had been glaring at Duan Ling Tian since earlier.

At this moment, people had begun fighting for the stone platforms. As of now, no one had died yet. Those who felt they were not as strong as their opponents wisely withdrew, and those who were stronger would wait for their opponents to withdraw. Everyone was reluctant to kill because killing more people would only expedite the opening of the exit of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. They were worried they would not have sufficient time to comprehend the law of time that had been left behind by the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord before being sent out.

As time passed, the stone blocks at the bottom were all claimed by the participants.

At this moment, only Duan Ling Tian, Murong Xiao Xiao, Ou Ya, a black-clad young man, a green-clad young man, a blue-clad middle-aged man, a red-clad middle-aged man, a silver-clad old man, and a gray-clad old man had not claimed their seats.

Most of these people moved independently. Only the green-clad young man followed the black-clad young man like a shadow.

“Let’s go,” Murong Xiao Xiao said to Ou Ya. Now that she knew she would be able to comprehend the law of time at the final destination of the Celestial Lord Temple, she no longer wanted to waste time currying favor with Duan Ling Tian. Initially, she had wanted to get closer to Duan Ling Tian in hopes that he would look out for her. Since Duan Ling Tian had made it clear he was not going to give up his claim on the highest seat, she no longer wasted any time on him.

After Murong Xiao Xiao and Ou Ya flew away, the black-clad young man walked to Duan Ling Tian with the green-clad young man in tow. He said, “Brat, stay away from Xiao Xiao… Otherwise, you might die…”

After the black-clad young man finished speaking, he and the green-clad young man flew toward the stone blocks as well. If it were not for the fact that he was worried about being sent out of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he would have killed Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian only shook his head slightly at the black-clad young man’s threat and did not say anything.

Upon seeing this, the red-clad middle-aged man laughed before he said, “Young man, you’re really lucky. Li Yuan isn’t someone who shows restraint. It’s surprising that he let you go.”

Then, the silver-clad old man chimed in, “That’s right. If he’s not worried about shortening our time in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm by killing you, he would’ve killed you. You’re really lucky.”

A faint smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face as he said, “So both of you think that he’ll be able to kill me just because he wants to?”

As it turned out, the black-clad young man was Li Yuan. Duan Ling Tian had heard Xue Jing Yu and the others talking about Li Yuan previously. Based on their conversation, he learned that Li Yuan was a genius from a grade-eight sect. However, it must be said that those who made it to the Celestial Lord Temple were geniuses in their own right. He also learned that Li Yuan had comprehended two profundities from the law of metal.

The silver-clad old man smiled genially before he said, “Young man, don’t feel offended. We only said those words because Li Yuan is really powerful. He has comprehended two profundities from the law of metal.”

Duan Ling Tian did not agree nor disagree. He asked indifferently, “How does his strength compare to Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun?”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the blue-clad middle-aged man and the gray-clad middle-aged man who were about to take flight halted their movements and turned to look at Duan Ling Tian.

“Sima Chun? Dongfang Jin Lun?” The red-clad middle-aged man was taken aback. He instinctively looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, “That’s right… Where are Sima Chun and Dongfang Jun Lin? With their strength, there’s no doubt they would be here…”

“Out of everyone who has comprehended two profundities in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, only both of them aren’t here… How strange! Is it possible that both of them died?” the blue-clad middle-aged man wondered out loud.

“There’s no reason for them not to be here unless they’ve died,” the gray-clad old man said.

The two middle-aged men and two old men exchanged a look. As realization dawned on them, an expression of horror appeared on their faces immediately.

The silver-clad old man inhaled deeply before he asked tentatively, “Young man, you… Since you mentioned Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun, do you… do you know where they are?”

Duan Ling Tian looked at the silver-clad old man and slowly said, “They’re dead…”

Although the four men had suspected this, they were still shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s confirmation.

Sima Chun, the genius from the grade-seven Sima Clan, had comprehended two profundities from the law of wind, the Wind Elemental Profundity and the Gale Profundity. He was much stronger than the four men. Although four of them had also comprehended two profundities of a law, it was impossible for them to kill Sima Chun. After all, Sima Chun had comprehended the Gale Profundity that boosted his speed.

As for Dongfang Jin Lun, the genius from the grade-seven Dongfang Clan, he had comprehended two profundities from the law of thunder, the Thunder Elemental Profundity and the Lightning Profundity. He was stronger than Sima Chun so the four men knew they were definitely no match for him either.

The blue-clad middle-aged man gulped as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked in a trembling voice. “Y-you… Y-you… Did you k-kill them?”

The remaining three men turned to look at Duan Ling Tian in unison.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded faintly. Then, as he prepared to take flight, he nonchalantly said, “They provoked me one after another… Alas, their strength was just average. I killed them within seconds with just one strike.”

The four men’s eyes widened in shock and fear when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. How terrifying! They would not be so shocked if Duan Ling Tian had merely told them he had killed Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun. What shocked them was Duan Ling Tian killing those two geniuses with just a strike!

When the four men regained their senses, they began to discuss among themselves. They were clearly skeptical.

“He’s… He’s joking, right?”

“Look at him… He doesn’t seem to be joking.”

“He said he killed Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun in seconds… Even if he comprehended three profundities from a law, it’s impossible for him to kill them within seconds, right?”

“That’s right. Even if he possesses a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, it’d still be difficult for him to achieve such a feat…”

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian drew close to the highest stone block in the air above Time Valley.

At this moment, Li Yuan, the black-clad young man, and Wang Xian, the green-clad young man, were already standing near the two second-highest stone blocks.

Li Yuan looked at Murong Xiao Xiao in confusion and surprise when he saw she had no intention of claiming the highest seat. “Xiao Xiao, you should go to the highest stone block… What are you doing here?” After a moment, he looked at Ou Ya before he asked, “Are you here to help Ou Ya claim one of these two seats?”

When Wang Xian, who was standing next to Li Yuan, heard these words, his expression changed drastically. Ou Ya might not be a match for Li Yuan. However, if Murong Xiao Xiao helped her, there was no way Li Yuan would be able to help him obtain one of the two second-highest seats!
