During this period of time, Duan Lingtian, the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, was the most popular person in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Whether it was ordinary Celestials or Bodiless Celestials, people were talking about him every day.
For this reason, it was not difficult for the Bodiless Celestials to recognize Duan Lingtian after they recognized Chen Yi Ru.
"Why is Duan Lingtian here?"
"Based on his actions, it seems like he came with Chen Yi Ru to look for Ding Yijian."
"As soon as he arrived, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings became thinner. Could the change in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy have something to do with him?"
"I don't know …"
…
A group of Bodiless Celestials stood in the distance and discussed among themselves as they looked at Duan Lingtian. However, they did not dare to approach Duan Lingtian.
Among them, the strongest person was a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. For this reason, they did not dare to act recklessly in front of Duan Lingtian.
After all, Duan Lingtian was someone who could even force Di Chen, a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Dragons, to kneel and kowtow as he begged for mercy.
The few Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials among them knew they would not stand a chance against Di Chen, a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Dragons. Therefore, they could only keep a low profile in front of Di Chen.
How could they, who were inferior to Di Chen, dare to act recklessly in front of Duan Lingtian?
"Humph!"
Duan Lingtian snorted coldly under the watchful eyes of the others.
In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian's killing intent surged out of his body. It was as though he had transformed into a peerless god of slaughter. His imposing aura was enough to pressure the Bodiless Celestials present on the scene.
Bang!
Duan Lingtian took a step forward and stomped his foot on the void. The void immediately cracked open, and dense crisscrossing cracks spread out like a spider web in the sky.
When Duan Lingtian stepped forward, Ding Yijian was so shocked that his heart sank. Immediately, he lowered his head towards Duan Lingtian in shock and fear. Other than fear on his face, there was only reverence.
Right now, Ding Yijian only had one thought in his mind.
He hoped that Duan Lingtian, the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, would overlook the conflict between him and Chen Yi Ru in the past.
Moreover, he and Chen Yi Ru didn't suffer any losses in the conflict back then.
In his opinion, it was a small matter. Since he had admitted defeat, Duan Lingtian, as the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, would not do anything to him …
However, Ding Yijian would never have thought that he would be so lucky.
Duan Lingtian did not come to avenge Chen Yi Ru. Instead, he came to avenge one of the women he had killed.
Perhaps, Duan Lingtian had forgotten that he had once humiliated a woman named Qiu Mu Qing.
However, Duan Lingtian was here for that woman!
"Bastard!"
As Duan Lingtian's Celestial Origin Energy and Saint Origin surged out of his body, his eyes turned colder as he looked at Ding Yijian. Ding Yijian felt as though he was in a world of ice and snow.
Although it was true that he was in a world of ice and snow, his cultivation base was not affected.
However, with his cultivation base, he did not feel cold at all in this world of ice and snow. However, the coldness that came from Duan Ling Tian caused his heart to feel as though it had stiffened.
Swoosh!
The sound of sword whistling reverberated in the air. It was like the blooming of a cactus. When Duan Ling Tian raised his hand, a solidified sword ray shot out from his palm.
As soon as the sword ray left Duan Ling Tian's palm, it moved so fast that Ding Yijian did not even have time to react to it. It tore through the air like a flash of light.
Before Ding Yijian could react, the sword ray was already inches away from him.
"No!"
When Ding Yijian finally regained his senses, the sword ray that came from Duan Ling Tian had already reached the space between his eyebrows. Ding Yijian only had time to cry out in his heart.
In the next moment …
Spurt!
A soft sound rang in the air as Ding Yijian's glabella was pierced, and his soul was crushed.
Although Ding Yijian was a Bodiless Celestial and his body was different from ordinary humans, his glabella was connected to his soul. Once it was pierced, his soul would be crushed as well.
Moreover, when Duan Ling Tian swung his sword, not only did it crush Ding Yijian's soul, but it also unleashed a wave of destructive energy that destroyed Ding Yijian's soul without leaving a trace behind.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Ding Yijian to survive.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
…
After his soul was obliterated, Ding Yijian's body was like the moon in the water. Once it was shattered, it perished between heaven and earth, leaving no trace of its existence.
The entire place fell silent immediately.
Among the Bodiless Celestials present on the scene, only the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials had seen Duan Lingtian's sword ray clearly.
It seemed as though the sword ray had come from outer space and could destroy everything.
"So this is the Sword Wielding Art, the third stage of the Sword Dao mental cultivation method, the Sovereign Heart Sword, created by Sword Saint Feng Qingyang?"
The Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were shocked.
Even if they did not die from Duan Lingtian's sword ray, they would be severely injured.
If Duan Lingtian had attacked a few more times, they would not have been able to withstand it.
"It's said that when Duan Lingtian forced Di Chen, a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Dragons, to kneel and beg for mercy, he had even used the fourth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Body and Sword Fusion!"
"At that time, his strength was comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!"
"Now, his strength is comparable to a peak Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial …"
Even if Duan Lingtian had only used the third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials present on the scene knew they were not a match for him, let alone the fourth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword.
After killing Ding Yijian, the killing intent that swept out from Duan Ling Tian's body vanished without a trace. The sharp aura on his body had completely vanished as well.
'You can rest in peace …'
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself as he looked in the southwest direction.
Qiu Mu Qing had died in the Western Region in that direction.
"It seems like things aren't as simple as they seem!"
At this moment, the Bodiless Celestials present on the scene realized things were not as simple as they had thought.
Initially, they had thought Duan Lingtian had stood up for Chen Yi Ru because of the conflict between Chen Yi Ru and Ding Yijian.
However, Chen Yi Ru did not suffer any losses in that matter. Logically speaking, Ding Yijian should have just admitted defeat.
However, Duan Ling Tian's shout of 'bastard' coupled with his lightning-fast attack made them realize that things were not as simple as they seemed!
"Could it be …"
As Bodiless Celestials who cultivated in the same place as the Bodiless Celestials, they knew what kind of person Ding Yijian was. Therefore, they could vaguely guess what was going on.
"Let's return."
At the same time, Duan Lingtian bade farewell to Chen Yi Ru before the two of them left. They disappeared from the Bodiless Celestials' sight in just a blink of an eye.
When Duan Lingtian and Chen Yi Ru left, they did not head south of the Seven Absolutes Sect's temporary base. Instead, they headed east.
Duan Ling Tian only brought Chen Yi Ru to the Seven Absolutes Sect's temporary estate in the southwest direction when he was certain they were out of sight and no one was tailing them.
The reason Duan Ling Tian did this was because he did not want to reveal where he was currently staying.
After all, he and the entire Seven Absolutes Sect had become a thorn in the side of the Dragons.
Since he was about to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone, he did not want any unforeseen circumstances to arise before he entered the Sword Saint Secret Zone.
As they made their way to the Sword Saint Secret Zone, Duan Lingtian calmed himself down and focused on the Sword Saint Secret Zone.
"According to Senior Uncle Prophet, the other people who possess the keys to the Sword Saint Secret Zone have already used their keys. They're only missing the key in Senior Uncle Prophet's hand to open the Sword Saint Secret Zone.
"But … I don't know who has the other keys. I wonder if there are any members of the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, or the Devil Clan among those people … "
Apart from Duan Ling Tian, even the Old Prophet had no clue who the owners of the other keys were.
However, Duan Lingtian did not expect that the Sword Saint Secret Zone would not be able to open the Sword Saint Secret Zone.
In fact, the Sword Saint Secret Zone was not created and left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qingyang. It was a Beyond Heaven Secret Zone that Sword Saint Feng Qingyang had entered in the past by chance.
At that time, Duan Lingtian had entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone and obtained a fortuitous encounter that allowed him to kill Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and fight Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials with his cultivation base as an Eminent Celestial.
Due to the long history of the Seven Absolutes Sect, The Oracle Man thought that the Sword Saint Secret Zone was a secret zone.
Sword Saint Feng Qingyang had personally created and left behind the Sword Saint Feng Qingyang.
Little did they know that the Secret Land was not created by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. It was just a Secret Land that Feng Qing Yang had entered before. At that time, Feng Qing Yang had used some tricks to obtain one of the keys to open the Secret Land. He had kept it until now.
He had left the key for the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect.
At this moment, that successor had appeared. It was none other than Duan Lingtian!
Duan Lingtian was unaware that the Sword Saint Secret Zone was not created and left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qingyang.
He was also unaware that the Sword Saint Secret Zone was a secret zone.
The Beyond Heaven Secret Zone that Duan Lingtian was about to enter was also the secret zone that Feng Qingyang had entered in the past. Each key was located in a different mundane realm.
In other words, there was only one key in the mundane realm that Duan Lingtian was in.
The second, third, and fourth keys were all in other mundane realms.
Duan Lingtian was even more unaware that the Sword Saint Secret Zone was a secret zone.
One of the keys was located in the mundane realm where Duan Lingtian's hometown, earth, was located.
