Ji Fan stared at Duan Lingtian intently. He could not wait to see how Duan Lingtian would react after Li Ping, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, had become a Celestial King.
At this moment, Ji Fan was extremely nervous.
If Duan Lingtian was no match for Li Ping who had become a Celestial King, Ji Fan would lose a layer of skin even if he managed to survive this ordeal.
Moreover, he would be ruining his own future, making it impossible for him to become the next Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect.
"Celestial King?"
Duan Ling Tian's expression remained unchanged when he heard Ji Fan's words. He looked in the direction where Li Ping, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, had spoken. A faint smile appeared on his face.
Ji Fan could sense Duan Lingtian's confidence when he saw how calm Duan Lingtian was. He sighed in relief inwardly.
Based on the current situation, it seemed like Duan Lingtian was not worried at all.
It seemed like Duan Lingtian was not afraid of Li Ping who had just become a Celestial King.
"What's going on?"
"Why are there so many casualties?"
A loud voice rang in the air again. It was clear the person had noticed the deaths of the Blissful Sect's disciples.
"He's here."
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes.
An old monk appeared in Liu Xuankong's line of sight. His speed was much faster than Liu Xuankong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect.
"Li Ping, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect … Before today, he was only a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. Now, he's a One Basic Celestial King! "
Duan Lingtian was not surprised when he saw the old monk's speed. After all, he knew the old monk was Li Ping, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect.
Li Ping was the strongest person in the Blissful Sect.
In the past, Li Ping was only considered the strongest person in the Blissful Sect since nobody knew if there were any quasi Celestial Kings hidden in the Six Southeastern Regions.
However, now that Li Ping had become a Celestial King, he was the strongest person in the Blissful Sect.
Even if the Blissful Sect had quasi Celestial Kings hidden in the Six Southeastern Regions, they were still weaker than Li Ping.
Perhaps, they were also Celestial Kings in the past. However, after staying in the borderlands for so long, they were affected by the Formations in the borderlands and the central area. For this reason, their cultivation base had regressed to that of a Ten Directions Celestial Duke.
At that time, a Celestial King was a Celestial Duke, a true Celestial Celestial King.
For this reason, Li Ping's Celestial King was a Quasi Celestial King hidden in the Blissful Sect.
Swoosh!
"Senior uncle, congratulations for becoming a Celestial King!"
As soon as Liu Xuan Kong saw the newcomer, he immediately congratulated the newcomer for breaking through and becoming a Celestial King.
"Congratulations, Old Ancestor!"
"Congratulations, Old Ancestor!"
…
As soon as Liu Xuan Kong finished speaking, the high-ranking members of the Blissful Sect regained their senses and congratulated Li Ping, who seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
However, Li Ping ignored Liu Xuan Kong and the others' congratulatory words.
He glanced at the corpses on the ground and said, "These are the disciples of the Blissful Sect?
Moreover, they were all killed by the sound waves! "
Li Ping was a Celestial King now. Even before his breakthrough, he could easily discover the cause of death when he scanned the bodies of the Blissful Sect's disciples with his Divine Consciousness.
"Who can tell me … what is going on?"
Li Ping muttered to himself in a high-pitched voice. The high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect shuddered in fear when they heard Li Ping's words.
As soon as Li Ping finished speaking, he noticed Ji Fan and Duan Lingtian standing in front of him.
Li Ping was about to speak to Ji Fan when a voice rang in the air.
"Old Ancestor!"
An elder from the Blissful Sect standing behind Liu Xuan Kong cried out in grief. Then, he pointed at Ji Fan and said angrily, "That's Ji Fan! He brought an outsider into the Blissful Sect and publicly announced that he's leaving the sect!
Those disciples who were killed by the sound waves were killed by the outsiders Ji Fan brought with him! "
Then, he shifted his gaze to Duan Lingtian who was standing in front of Ji Fan.
"What?!"
Li Ping's expression changed drastically when he heard the elder's words. At this moment, a terrifying aura surged out of his body.
It was the aura of a Celestial King, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect, Liu Xuan Kong, and the other high-ranking officials from the Blissful Sect felt their hearts palpitating.
"That's the Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial King?"
"The Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial King is too powerful!"
…
The high-ranking members of the Blissful Sect looked at each other in dismay. They could see the fear in each other's eyes.
Although they were all Celestial Dukes, they could still feel the threat of death when they sensed the aura of a Celestial King's Celestial Origin Energy.
On the other hand, Ji Fan, whose cultivation base was weaker than Duan Lingtian's, was not affected by the aura at all since he was standing behind Duan Lingtian.
Li Ping glanced at Ji Fan coldly, causing Ji Fan's face to turn pale with fright. Then, he shifted his gaze to Duan Lingtian.
His soul that had just entered the realm of a One Basic Celestial King sent out a powerful Divine Consciousness that shrouded Duan Lingtian's body.
"Not even 100 years old?"
Based on the aura of Duan Lingtian's flesh and blood, Li Ping was certain that Duan Lingtian was not even 100 years old.
He tried to probe Duan Lingtian's cultivation base, but to no avail.
"You said he's the one who killed the disciples of the Blissful Sect with the sound waves?"
Li Ping turned to look at the elder from the Blissful Sect and said coldly, "He's not even 100 years old, and yet, he killed so many disciples of the Blissful Sect in front of all of you.
Do you think all of you can just stand there and do nothing? "
Li Ping's tone turned colder and colder as he spoke. The elder from the Blissful Sect was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat as the corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably.
He was so frightened that he remained silent for a long time.
"Senior uncle."
At this moment, Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect, spoke in a grave tone, "Although he's not even 100 years old, he's stronger than me.
He's at least a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. In fact, he might even be a quasi Celestial King! "
A hint of dread could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
"A Ten Directions Celestial Duke? A quasi Celestial King? "
Li Ping was taken aback by Liu Xuan Kong's words. Then, he looked at Duan Lingtian skeptically. "Him?
"I, Li Ping, can kill this brat who is not even a hundred years old with a flip of my hand!"
Li Ping sneered as his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body and gathered in his right hand.
Boom!
In the next moment, Li Ping's Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his right hand as he pushed it toward Duan Lingtian. The palm seal was like a small mountain as it shot toward Duan Lingtian.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
When the palm seal passed by a Celestial King, it was as though thousands of soldiers and horses were galloping toward Duan Lingtian. The sound of explosions reverberated in the air.
Just as Li Ping's right hand was about to land on Duan Ling Tian's body, Duan Ling Tian was stunned.
In the blink of an eye …
At this critical moment …
"Immobilization King!"
A layer of golden light rose from the surface of Duan Ling Tian's body. In just a blink of an eye, it transformed into the silhouette of a golden Buddha that shrouded him completely.
In the next moment …
Boom!
Rumble!!
…
A deafening explosion rang in the air as Li Ping, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, struck the silhouette of the golden Buddha that had risen from Duan Lingtian's body. The terrifying force caused the silhouette of the golden Buddha to tremble.
However, the silhouette of the golden Buddha remained standing even after the energy from the palm seal was depleted. It looked like a guardian deity who was loyal to Duan Lingtian.
"Immobilization King?"
"Who … Who are you? How do you know the Blissful Sect's Celestial Method? "
Although it was only a casual attack, Li Ping was still shocked that the purple-clad young man who was not even 100 years old was able to block his attack.
However, there was another thing that caught his attention.
The purple-clad young man's Celestial Method was none other than the Duke Grade Celestial Method, the Immobilization King!
Moreover, looking at the Immovable Wisdom King that the other party used, it was obvious that he had comprehended this immortal technique to the extreme and had completely mastered it.
"Senior uncle."
Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect, reminded Li Ping, "He's the one who won the Immobilization King Celestial Method during the Alchemy Conference.
He's the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Duan Lingtian!
"Also, I suspect that … Master, he was most likely the one who killed him!"
Liu Xuan Kong's tone grew heavier as he spoke.
"What?!"
"He's the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? That brat who's not even 100 years old but is widely acknowledged as the number one prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions?
Didn't you say he's just an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial? "
Although Li Ping did not attend the previous Alchemy Conference, after Li An's death, he found out quite a bit about the Alchemy Conference.
Among them, he knew about the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
