Gongsun Jing had assumed the young man would be relieved by his departure. Since he could not kill the young man who had comprehended the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity, he decided not to waste his time here. He did not expect the young man to stop him from leaving. He smiled coldly as he said, “I chose to spare your life, but you’re seeking death?”
“Spare my life?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback by Gongsun Jing’s words. When he regained his senses, he could not help but laugh. “You’ll have to be able to catch me in order to kill me. Since you’re a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, you’ll need to cast two movement profundities, at least, just to catch up to me. Even if you’ve comprehended the two movement profundities from the law of fire, the Pillaging Profundity and the Fire Traveling Profundity, you won’t be able to cast the Fire Traveling Profundity here since this place isn’t suitable for casting the Fire Traveling Profundity.”
Duan Ling Tian knew this very well. After all, before he comprehended the law of space, he had focused on comprehending the law of fire. The Fire Traveling Profundity could only be used in an environment where there was fire. Clearly, they were not in that type of environment now.
Gongsun Jin scoffed, clearly displeased that Duan Ling Tian had seen through him. He said disdainfully, “So what? I can’t kill you, but do you think you can kill me? Although your innate talent must be heaven-defying for being able to become a Ten Directions Celestial Dukes before the age of 100, how many profundities have you comprehended? Do you think you’re capable of breaching my defenses?” Based on his words, it was clear he did not think Duan Ling Tian had comprehended many profundities from the law of space and thought that Duan Ling Tian was incapable of killing him.
“Well, why don’t you experience it for yourself… You can see if you’re capable of defending against my attacks.” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as he mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy through his 99 Heavenly Veins before boosting it with the Space Elemental Profundity.
“Teleportation Profundity!” In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian teleported and appeared behind Gongsun Jing.
“Restraining Profundity!”
“Territory Profundity!”
“Distortion Profundity!”
Before Gongsun Jing could react, Duan Ling Tian had already cast the law of space’s Restraining Profundity to prevent Gongsun Jing from escaping. He knew this profundity alone would not be able to restrain Gongsun Jing for long so he cast another two profundities from the law of space to prevent Gongsun Jing from escaping.
“The law of space’s Restraining Profundity?” Gongsun Jing discovered he was restrained after Duan Ling Tian cast three profundities from the law of space.
“Break!” Although Gongsun Jing was taken aback by the three profundities from the law of space, he was not afraid. With just a thought, Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A raging flame burst forth from Gongsun Jing’s body, looking as though they were capable of breaking the Restraining Profundity’s restraints. Apart from the Fire Elemental Profundity, the Explosion Profundity, the Burning Profundity, and the Pillaging Profundity, Duan Ling Tian also cast the law of fire’s main offensive profundity, the Corrosive Profundity, and the Fire Style Profundity. The Corrosive Profundity’s attack was fierce and corrosive as its name suggested. On the other hand, the Fire Style Profundity was similar to the law of metal’s Metal Style Profundity in that it would engulf its user with flames, boosting his strength and his profundities.
“H-how’s this possible?!” Soon enough, a shocked expression appeared on Gongsun Jing’s face when he discovered he could not break free despite casting all of his profundities from the law of fire.
Gongsun Jing could sense he was being restrained by several different energies. After a beat, the space he was confined in began to distort and ripple. He quickly extended his Divine Consciousness. “The Territory Profundity and the Distortion Profundity from the law of space?” His expression changed again when he discovered Duan Ling Tian had cast two new profundities from the law of space.
“An outer disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion who’s not only a Ten Directions Celestial Duke but has also comprehended five profundities from the law of space?” Up until now, Gongsun Jing had seen Duan Ling Tian casting five profundities from the law of space: the Space Elemental Profundity, the Teleportation Profundity, the Restraining Profundity, the Territory Profundity, and the Distortion Profundity. However, to restrain him, Duan Ling Tian had only used four profundities from the law of space: the Space Elemental Profundity, the Restraining Profundity, the Territory Profundity, and the Distortion Profundity. He was truly shocked. The law of space was one of the Four Supreme Laws so it was superior to ordinary laws like the law of fire. Needless to say, the profundities from the Four Supreme Laws were also stronger than profundities from ordinary laws.
“Not only are you a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, but you even comprehended five profundities from the law of space before the age of 100… I truly didn’t expect this! However, do you really think you’re capable of killing me just because of this?” Although Gongsun Jing was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s heaven-defying innate talent and comprehension skills, he was quick to regain his senses. Moreover, he did not seem afraid. He extended his right hand before he fisted it with a cold smile on his face.
All of a sudden, the raging flames that engulfed him began to converge at his right hand before forming a red and purple flaming sword that emitted a formidable aura. Apart from that, tiny sword rays that looked like purple lightning bolts flashed around the flaming sword.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Gongsun Jing cast the law of fire’s Fire Style Profundity. Although it was not his full strength, he could now easily manipulate the Fire Elemental Profundity.
Swoosh!
Gongsun Jing’s right arm trembled slightly. Then, the red and purple flaming sword shot out of his hand toward the void, intending to forcibly break out of Duan Ling Tian’s restraints with just one strike. Based on the current situation, he would be able to eventually break free if he continued attacking. However, with the Teleportation Profundity, Gongsun Jing knew Duan Ling Tian would be able to reinforce the areas that he had weakened quickly. At that time, he would fall further into a disadvantageous situation. Therefore, he decided to put all his power into this one strike to break Duan Ling Tian’s restraints. “Break!”
The void rippled in the wake of the flaming sword, looking as though it would tear.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed upon seeing this; he understood Gongsun Jing’s intentions.
“Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity!”
A terrifying spatial tear appeared where Gongsun Jing’s flaming sword had pierced.
Gongsun Jing was dumbfounded upon seeing this. Although the power behind his flaming sword was extraordinary, he did not think it was capable of tearing a hole in the void.
“Could it be…” Soon enough, an ominous feeling rose in Gongsun Jing’s heart. When he saw a grey sword ray shooting out of the spatial tear toward him, he confirmed his suspicion. “T-the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity?!”
Although Gongsun Jing did not comprehend the law of space, he had studied the law of space before. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to tell that Duan Ling Tian had cast the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity!
“S-six profundities?” Gongsun Jing tried to maintain his composure, but it was futile. He was so tense that he lost focus, causing the flaming sword to weaken.
Buzz!
At this moment, the grey sword ray collided with the flaming sword. In just a second, the grey sword ray overwhelmed and destroyed the flaming sword.
Duan Ling Tian had cast the other profundities from the law of space to boost the grey sword ray from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity after all. Moreover, due to Gongsun Jing being distracted, his flaming sword had weakened. Therefore, it was easy for the grey sword ray to overwhelm the flaming sword.
“No!” Gongsun tried desperately to cast another attack, but he could only watch helplessly as the grey sword ray continued shooting toward him.
Swoosh!
Blood splattered in the sky and rained down as Gongsun Jing, who had been confident in his victory, was decapitated by the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity. His corpse was pulled into the turbulence, and it did not take long before his corpse was reduced to ashes.
With this, Gongsun Jing, a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who had comprehended six profundities from the law of fire from the Azure Green Mansion had died.
After Gongsun Jing’s death, the 13 points in his Accumulative Point Jade were transferred to Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian’s points rose from six to 19 in just a blink of an eye. With this, his ranking rose as well. Naturally, he was going to rank higher than Gongsun Jing who was ranked 69th before he died.
Unlike the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Heaven, the scores were instantly reflected on the scoreboards.
Therefore, as soon as Duan Ling Tian killed Gongsun Jing and obtained Gongsun Jing’s points, a huge commotion broke out in the Profound Nether Mansion, the Leaving Willow Mansion, the Azure Green Mansion, and the other grade-six Celestial Mansions.
