“You’re finally here...” Despite not having met Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er prior to this, Zhang Jin Yi knew the two people in front of him were Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er due to Huan’er’s peerless beauty.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er discovered everyone from their group had been killed by the young man in front of them with just a blow.

After Duan Ling Tian took a better look at the young man, his eyes narrowed as memories from 100 years ago flooded his mind.

‘It’s him, Zhang Jin Yi! He’s the envoy that the main Phantom Fox Clan in the Seven Upper Province’s Heavenly Territory sent 100 years ago!’

Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er had hidden in the Little World that the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion created when Zhang Jin Yi visited the Profound Nether Mansion. Although they were in the Little World, they had seen Zhang Jin Yi. Therefore, he recognized Zhang Jin Yi in a short time.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘It has been 100 years, and he’s still in the Southern Heaven Territory... It seems like the main Phantom Fox Clan in the Heavenly Territory still hasn’t given up on Huan’er.”

At this moment, Huan’er said through Voice Transmission, “Brother Ling Tian, he’s a member of the Phantom Fox Clan. He... he seems familiar... It’s as though I’ve met him before.”

“Huan’er, do you remember 100 years ago, we hid in the pavilion master’s Little World?” Duan Ling Tian asked, helping Huan’er to recall where she had seen Zhang Jin Yi.

“It’s him!” Realization dawned on Huan’er immediately. If Duan Ling Tian did not remind her, she would not have remembered Zhang Jin Yi.

“Huan’er, leave him to me... I’ll kill him!” Duan Ling Tian said solemnly through Voice Transmission, “Once he confirms you’re a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, he’ll surely report back to the main Phantom Fox Clan in the Heavenly Territory. At that time, I’m afraid calamity would befall the pavilion master and everyone in the Profound Nether Mansion when we leave the Spirit Overarching Heaven. It’s of utmost importance that we hide your identity from him and make sure he doesn’t have a chance to report back to the main clan.”

Duan Ling Tian felt indebted to the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion in the Profound Nether Mansion. Naturally, he did not want calamity to befall the Profound Nether Mansion. The mansion stood no chance against the main Phantom Fox Clan in the Heavenly Territory. Even the Su Clan that ruled over the Profound Nether Mansion would not dare to retaliate if the main Phantom Fox Clan annihilated the Profound Nether Mansion.

“I understand, Brother Ling Tian.” Huan’er could sense the gravity of the situation based on Duan Ling Tian’s tone. Her expression was grim as her Celestial Origin Energy that was raging slowly calmed down.

“Who are you? Based on your words, it seems like you’ve been waiting for us?” Duan Ling Tian asked lightly as he looked at Zhang Jin Yi.

“That’s right.” Zhang Jin Yi nodded.

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, Zhang Jin Yi charged toward Huan’er as his Celestial Origin Surged and a golden light shrouded his body.

Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian teleported in front of Huan’er, shielding her. His eyes shone with killing intent as he faced the ferocious Zhang Jin Yi.

“You’re no match for me.” Zhang Jin Yi came to a stop. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and coldly said, “You’re clearly weaker than her so why don’t you let her fight in your stead?”

“You will need to defeat me first.” Duan Ling Tian smiled. If this was 100 years ago, he would not be able to speak such words to Zhang Jin Yi. However, the circumstances were different now. Alas, Zhang Jin Yi was not unaware of this.

“Since you have a death wish, I’ll grant you your wish!” Zhang Jin Yin’s gaze grew frosty as he directed his Soul Energy toward Duan Ling Tian. This was also a technique that only direct descendants from the main Phantom Fox Clan could master; it could muddle one’s mind.

Soon after, a shocked expression on Zhang Jin Yi’s face when he discovered Duan Ling Tian was looking at him smughly, clearly unaffected by his attack.

“So this is your special technique? Your Soul Energy is not bad. Unfortunately, it’s useless against me.” Zhang Jin Yi’s domineering Soul Energy was easily deflected by the Profound Divine Metal in Duan Ling Tian’s body that protected his soul. Although the Profound Divine Metal was only in its third form, it could easily deflect weaker Soul Energies.

“Y-you own a soul defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon?” Zhang Jin Yi’s eyes narrowed as he solemnly asked.

A soul defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon was capable of deflecting soul attacks from those below the stage of a Celestial Lord.

“Well, you can say so, I guess. In short, your technique doesn’t work on me,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.

Duan Ling Tian had learned from Huan’er that Zhang Jin Yi had mastered a unique skill that was exclusive to direct descendants of the main Phantom Fox Clan. However, he was not afraid at all since Zhang Jin Yi was only a Ten Directions Celestial Lord. He would have been worried if Zhang Jin Yi was a Celestial Lord.

“If that technique is useless, I’ll just crush you with my strength!” Zhang Jin Yi sneered. He was clearly angered. At the same time, a translucent metal figure appeared as his Celestial Origin Energy surged.

“The Metal Guardian Profundity!” Duan Ling Tian recognized the profundity from the law of metal that Zhang Jin Yi had cast. The Metal Guardian Profundity was a defensive profundity that also boosted one’s strength.

“Your Royal Grade Celestial Sword seems to be more powerful than ordinary Royal Grade Celestial Weapons.” Duan Ling Tian could tell Zhang Jin Yi’s weapon was extraordinary. Nevertheless, it could not compare to the Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring.

“I’ll kill you with my sword in less than three moves!” Zhang Jin Yi scoffed. He seemed to have transformed into a streak of golden light as he shot toward Duan Ling Tian.

As Zhang Jin Yi drew close, Duan Ling Tian teleported away.

Huan’er followed suit and teleported to some distance behind Duan Ling Tian before she continued to watch the fight. She had strategically chosen her spot so that Zhang Jin Yi would not be able to get to her unless he defeated or killed Duan Ling Tian.

“I’d like to see how many times you’ll be able to avoid me.” Zhang Jin Yi seemed to turn into a golden streak of light again. He shot across the sky like a shooting star toward Duan Ling Tian. He seemed to have become one with his Celestial Sword as he left a long and narrow sword ray in his wake. His aura was truly domineering at this moment.

A peculiar noise rang in the air as the sword ray shot out as though it was tearing the void as it moved.

“Is there a need for me to avoid you?” Duan Ling Tian sneered as he mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Space Elemental Profundity. Although he was only a Nine Palaces Celestial King, his Celestial Origin Energy and speed were far superior to most Ten Directions Celestial Kings, including Zhang Jin Yi, due to his 99 Heavenly Veins.

Territory Profundity! Distortion Profundity!

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s Space Territory began to expand until it covered a 100-meter radius. Naturally, it was not a coincidence that Zhang Jin Yi was within range.

Zhang Jin immediately felt his movements slowly being restrained. The golden sword ray slowed down as well. He snorted before he said, “Your comprehension of the law of space is not bad. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to stop me!”

Swoosh!

As soon as Zhang Jin Yi finished speaking, the golden sword ray suddenly picked up speed. It breached the Space Territory and shot toward Duan Ling Tian.

“Perfect timing!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted as he looked at the streak of golden light. He stood unmoving before he punched the air.

Subsequently, three spatial tears appeared in the void before three grey sword rays shot out, forming a fist. Then, it shot toward the incoming streak of golden light.

Duan Ling Tian had raised the strength of this shadow fist by casting all the offensive profundities from the law of space that he had comprehended.

Bang!

As a loud explosion rang in the air, the streak of golden light was destroyed by the shadow fist. Then, a figure was sent flying across the sky.

Zhang Jin Yi, who was sent flying back, summoned his purely defensive Celestial Weapon that manifested in the form of a blood-red armor.

“A purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted as he said with a faint smile on his face, “You’d be dead if it weren’t for this Celestial Weapon.”

“Impossible!” Zhang Jin Yi who was standing in the distance looked at Duan Ling Tian incredulously. “How could you defeat me without a Celestial Weapon? How many profundities from the law of space did you comprehend to the initial stage?”

A Nine Palaces Celestial King defeated Zhang Jin Yin with his bare hands. Moreover, he was only alive because of his purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. It was only natural that he felt like this was a bitter pill to swallow. He was the third strongest Celestial King in the main Phantom Fox Clan’s Zhang Clan, and yet, he was thoroughly defeated by a Nine Palaces Celestial King from a backward palace in the Southern Heaven Territory!

“Do you really want to know?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile on his face.

Zhang Jin Yi narrowed his eyes, focused on listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words.

However, Duan Ling Tian seemed to vanish into thin air, only leaving after afterimages in his wake.

“No!” Zhang Jin Yi’s expression changed drastically. Despite feeling extremely unwilling, he hastily brought out his Identity Jade Token so he could crush it and escape.
