A material attack and a soul attack were two completely different types of attacks.
A material attack would leave a mark on a person's body or an object. Moreover, the object could be used to defend against the attack.
However, a soul attack was different.
A soul attack would not leave a mark on a person's body. Even if it killed a person, it would only destroy the person's soul. There would not be any fatal wounds on the surface.
Apart from that, a soul attack could ignore most objects.
The only exception was if the object was protected by a Formation or Restriction that countered a soul attack.
However, such a Formation or Restriction would not appear in mundane realms. Only Devata Realms would have such a Formation or Restriction.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian merely raised his hand and shot out a defective metal piece to block Gongsun Wen Tian's soul attack.
In Gongsun Wen Tian's opinion, Duan Lingtian's action was completely unnecessary.
This was because he felt his Soul Attack could easily penetrate the defective metal piece that contained a material attack. Not only would it be able to penetrate Duan Ling Tian's body, but it would also be able to destroy Duan Ling Tian's soul!
Gongsun Wen Tian and Gongsun Hong who were standing next to him felt the same way.
In fact, apart from the two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the Gongsun family, even Xuan Yuan Zhi, a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Yellow Thearch Mansion who was standing next to Duan Lingtian felt the same way.
"That's a soul attack! Brother Ling Tian's action is destined to be futile!"
At this moment, even Xuan Yuan Zhi thought to himself, 'Duan Lingtian is doomed.
There's no doubt Duan Lingtian will die! '
"The old ancestor is using a soul attack?"
"Hmph! Duan Lingtian is seeking death! "
"The old ancestor is a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. His soul attack is comparable to the soul attack of a peak Heavenly Celestial in a Devata Realm. Duan Lingtian is only an Eminent Celestial. There's no way he can withstand the old ancestor's soul attack!"
"There's a path to heaven, but he refuses to take it, and there's no door to hell. Duan Lingtian is seeking death!"
…
The few Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the Gongsun family couldn't see the situation clearly, but they could vaguely guess what was going on. They sneered, not believing that Duan Lingtian could survive.
"This Duan Lingtian actually blocked Gongsun Wentian's soul attack … Not only will his efforts be in vain, he will also lose the opportunity to perish together with Gongsun Wentian!"
"I really don't know what he's thinking … Could it be that he really thinks his material attack can withstand Gongsun Wentian's soul attack?"
There were two Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials among the sectless cultivators present on the scene.
They couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking that Duan Lingtian had gone mad. Instead of taking the opportunity to perish together with Gongsun Wentian, he had used a material attack to defend against Gongsun Wentian's soul attack.
In their opinion:
It was destined that material attacks and soul attacks would never come into contact with each other since they were on two completely different levels.
However, just when the group of Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials thought Duan Lingtian's efforts were in vain …
A sudden change occurred!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the eyes of the Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, the defective metal piece that Duan Lingtian had thrown out finally collided with Gongsun Wentian's soul attack that resembled two dragons playing with a pearl.
They thought the defective metal piece that Duan Lingtian had thrown out would not even come into contact with Gongsun Wentian's soul attack.
This was because the latter, to a certain extent, only existed in an illusory form and did not truly exist.
However, when the defective metal piece that Duan Lingtian had thrown out collided with Gongsun Wentian's soul attack, they could not help but widen their eyes in shock and disbelief.
This was because they saw Gongsun Wentian's soul attack that resembled two dragons playing with a pearl vanish without a trace when it collided with the defective metal piece.
It seemed as though it had been devoured by the defective metal piece.
Swoosh!
Before the group of people could regain their senses, Duan Lingtian waved his hand casually. The defective metal piece that was flying toward Gongsun Wentian made a turn in the air and returned to Duan Lingtian's hand.
"The soul attack of a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial … Is this all there is to it?"
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian said indifferently as he played with the defective metal piece in his hand. He glanced at Gongsun Wen Tian coldly.
Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!
…
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, the Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials finally regained their senses. All of them gasped as they looked at Duan Lingtian with a hint of fear and dread in their eyes.
This was especially true for Gongsun Wentian, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Gongsun Clan who was widely acknowledged as the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm.
He had not held back when he had cast his soul attack earlier. It had even damaged his soul to a certain extent. It would take at least ten days to half a month for his soul to recover to its peak.
However, Duan Ling Tian was still able to block the Soul Attack that he had cast in such a manner.
Moreover, Duan Lingtian had easily blocked his soul attack.
"What's that metal piece in his hand?"
Gongsun Wentian asked as he looked at the defective metal piece in Duan Lingtian's hand.
Naturally, he could tell Duan Lingtian was only able to block his soul attack due to the uniqueness of the defective metal piece.
The Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials present on the scene could not help but look at the defective metal piece in Duan Lingtian's hand.
At first glance, the defective metal piece seemed ordinary.
However, upon closer inspection, they discovered that there were faint traces of light surrounding it.
There were strands of faint profound light lingering around the damaged piece of metal. When they subconsciously extended their Consciousness and touched the profound light, they felt as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss and were unable to extricate themselves.
There was simply no way to pry into the 'details' of this defective metal piece!
"No wonder it was able to block Gongsun Wentian's soul attack. Brother Ling Tian's defective metal piece is extraordinary."
Xuan Yuan Zhi, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Yellow Thearch Mansion, who was standing next to Duan Lingtian, sighed inwardly as he looked at the defective metal piece in Duan Lingtian's hand.
'No wonder Brother Ling Tian was so calm from the beginning until the end. It seems like Brother Ling Tian already knew what was going on.
Xuan Yuan Zhi could not help but smile wryly when he thought about this.
If this Brother Ling Tian of his could remind him of all this earlier, he wouldn't have to stand at the side in fear.
"What's that metal piece in your hand?!"
Gongsun Wentian's eyes were filled with fear when he looked at Duan Lingtian again.
At the same time, he realized the ominous feeling he had earlier was right. Duan Lingtian was not deliberately mystifying himself. Duan Lingtian was truly not afraid of Gongsun Wentian's soul attack.
Gongsun Wentian could see this as well.
As long as Duan Lingtian still had that thing in his hand, no matter how many soul attacks he launched, he would not be able to hurt Duan Lingtian at all.
Gongsun Wentian could not help but feel regretful.
He should not have coveted Duan Lingtian's technique that could snatch Celestial Supreme Treasures. Otherwise, he would not have fallen into such a passive situation.
"W-what's going on?"
"The Old Ancestor used a soul attack? But … How could this Duan Ling Tian be fine? "
"Can someone tell me what's going on?"
…
Those from the Gongsun Clan and those who weren't from the Gongsun Clan weren't able to see what had just happened due to their weaker cultivation, so they had no idea what was going on.
However, they could vaguely see something.
Duan Lingtian had gained the upper hand!
When Gongsun Wentian looked at Duan Lingtian again, there was a hint of fear in his eyes. It was as though Duan Lingtian was a ferocious beast.
"It's not just Gongsun Wentian … Even the other Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Gongsun Clan seems to be afraid of Duan Lingtian as well."
Soon after, someone else noticed this as well.
An uproar broke out among the crowd.
"W-what's going on?"
Just as the group of people were feeling extremely puzzled by the situation before them,
"Duan Lingtian!"
Gongsun Wentian, a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Gongsun Clan, who was widely acknowledged as the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm, looked at Su Li in his hand as though he was grasping at straws. He threatened Duan Lingtian.
"Swear on the lightning penalty oath that you'll never make an enemy of the Gongsun Clan.
Otherwise, I'll kill Su Li right now! "
Gongsun Wentian glared at Duan Lingtian with bloodshot eyes. He looked like a trapped beast who was desperately trying to break free.
However, Duan Lingtian remained calm in the face of Gongsun Wentian's threat. It was as though he would not bat an eyelid even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. Those who did not know better would think he did not care about Su Li's life at all.
"You can kill Su Li."
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian said calmly, "However, if Su Li dies, I'll annihilate the Gongsun Clan and kill everyone in the Gongsun Clan to accompany him in death!"
"Su Li, you won't blame me, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at Su Li who was still in Gongsun Wentian's hand.
"Cough cough …" Su Li coughed.
Su Li coughed twice. After he caught his breath, an indescribable smile appeared on his face. "I … I don't even have the time to thank you, why would I blame you? With a top-tier force like the Gongsun Clan in Yan Huang Realm dying with me, I, Su Li, have no regrets! "
"I'm relieved to hear that."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Swoosh!
However, as soon as Su Li finished speaking, Gongsun Wentian's expression changed drastically.
