"He's just an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. How dare he say that?"
"He must have lost his mind. How dare an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial threaten to kill us if we don't cooperate with him!"
"I'd like to see … who among us will he kill after three breaths of time, and who will he be able to kill!"
"Now that one breath has passed, there are only two breaths left."
…
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, the high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect burst into laughter. Based on their words, they felt Duan Lingtian was being ridiculous.
Their eyes were filled with disdain and mockery when they looked at Duan Ling Tian again.
Although Elder Hong and Elder Qi, who were the leaders of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, did not say anything, they looked at Duan Lingtian with disdain as well.
"He's Duan Lingtian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in the Wasteland? The person whose name spread throughout the Six Southeastern Regions after the Alchemy Conference? "
"Yes! That's him! After the Alchemy Conference, he's widely acknowledged as the number one prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions. It's said that he's not even 100 years old, and he's an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial! "
"It's undeniable that he's able to achieve such a feat in alchemy within the age of 100. It's also undeniable that he's able to break through and become an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial before the age of 100. However, I really don't understand how a mere Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial like him has the guts to say such words. "
"How dare he ask the elders to cooperate with him? Moreover, if the elders don't cooperate after the span of three breaths, he'll kill one of the elders? Is he crazy? "
"In the past, the Blissful Sect hasn't spread the news about him. Fortunately, the elders have to be wary of the major clans in the central area. Now that they've confirmed he's not from a major clan in the central area, there's no need for them to be wary of him anymore!"
"He's digging his own grave by acting like this!"
"Could it be that he still doesn't know that the Blissful Sect has investigated him thoroughly?"
"He definitely doesn't know about it. If he knew, why would he be so arrogant?"
…
The high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect laughed when they heard Duan Lingtian's words. Meanwhile, the patrolling disciples of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect began to whisper among themselves.
Based on their words, they felt Duan Ling Tian was spouting nonsense.
More people thought that Duan Lingtian was going to be in trouble.
"Three breaths of time is up."
Duan Lingtian's voice rang out once again. His voice was not loud, but once it rang out, it seemed to possess some sort of magical power that instantly suppressed the noise in the area.
"Three breaths of time is up … I want to see which one of us you want to kill!"
An elder from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect stepped forward and looked at Duan Ling Tian disdainfully as he said, "My strength is only average among the elders of the Blissful Sect. I'm only a Six Combinations Celestial Duke. Why don't you try and kill me?
A hint of mockery could be seen on the elder's face when he finished speaking.
Many elders and disciples of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect looked at Duan Lingtian mockingly as well.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Tie Tai He glanced at the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect and shook his head when he saw the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were unmoved by Duan Lingtian's words. A hint of sorrow could be seen in his eyes.
He felt sorry for the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.
"I was just thinking about who to kill first … Since you're so eager to die, I'll fulfill your wish!"
As soon as the elder of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at him. Killing intent flashed in the depths of Duan Ling Tian's eyes. It was so terrifying that it seemed to be able to freeze one's soul.
Before the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect could react, Duan Lingtian's words left their mouths.
"Ugh …"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the elder of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect who claimed to be a Six Combinations Celestial Duke suddenly clasped his hands around his neck. His face was so red that it seemed as though blood was about to drip out of it.
His facial features were contorted as though he was in excruciating pain.
"This is …"
"What's going on?"
…
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Even the elders of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect who were disdainful of Duan Ling Tian earlier had a grave expression on their faces.
Bang!
At this moment, a loud explosion rang in the air and everyone was shocked by the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect's elder's strange actions and his face that was as red as blood.
At the same time, they saw the elder from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.
The elder from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect who had insulted Duan Lingtian earlier suddenly exploded into a rain of blood, leaving behind a Spatial Ring that fell to the ground.
Swoosh!
The Storage Ring fell from the sky for a moment, then it was pulled by an invisible force and flew to a certain place.
Duan Lingtian raised his hand and put it away.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
The high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect finally regained their senses when they saw Duan Ling Tian taking the Spatial Ring of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect's elder. Their expressions changed drastically as they inhaled sharply.
When they looked at Duan Lingtian again, a hint of fear could be seen in their eyes.
The two Eight Trigrams Celestial Dukes, Elder Hong and Elder Qi, glanced at Duan Ling Tian fearfully before they began to scan their surroundings. It was as though they were trying to find a hidden powerhouse in the surroundings.
Although the elder from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect who had been killed was only a Six Combinations Celestial Duke, both of them could easily kill him.
However, they knew they were not capable of killing the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect's elder in such a bizarre manner.
"I'm afraid only a powerhouse like the sect leader would be able to kill a Six Combinations Celestial Duke with such a bizarre method, right?"
Elder Hong looked at Elder Qi and asked through voice transmission. At the same time, he looked at Elder Qi with a fearful gaze.
"I agree. Only a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke or stronger would be able to kill a Six Combinations Celestial Duke with such a bizarre method. Even we didn't notice it since we weren't on guard!"
Elder Qi replied through Voice Transmission.
In Elder Qi's opinion, with his and Elder Hong's strength, they would be able to detect a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke if they were on guard. After all, they were Eight Trigrams Celestial Dukes.
However, based on their previous state, it was only natural that they would not be able to detect a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke's attack.
For this reason, they speculated that the person hiding in the dark might be stronger than a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke or a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke.
"What's going on?"
"T-he's dead?"
"Elder Peng is a Six Combinations Celestial Duke, right? A Six Combinations Celestial Duke died just like that? "
"Is Duan Lingtian the culprit?"
…
The expressions of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect's patrolling disciples changed drastically. When they looked at Duan Lingtian again, they were no longer filled with disdain and mockery. Instead, they were filled with shock and confusion.
However, when some of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect's elders followed Elder Hong and Elder Qi's gazes, they could guess what the elders were thinking.
"It seems like there's a hidden powerhouse behind this!"
"Isn't it said that Duan Lingtian's identity as a disciple of a powerful clan in the central area is fake? The Blissful Sect went to great lengths to investigate this matter! "
"That's right … How do you explain what happened earlier?"
…
At this moment, not only were the patrolling disciples confused, but even the high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were confused as well.
"Very good. Another three breaths have passed."
Duan Lingtian did not expect no one would call Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, out even after he had killed a Six Combinations Celestial Duke. He could not help but narrow his eyes.
Initially, the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect did not take Duan Lingtian's threat seriously.
However, after Duan Lingtian said three breaths had passed, the death of the Six Combinations Celestial Duke shocked the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. They began to take Duan Lingtian's threat seriously.
During the next three breaths, the elders from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were not afraid of Duan Lingtian. It was just that they did not have time to react.
However, when they heard Duan Lingtian's voice again, their expressions changed again.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian's voice sounded like the voice of the Grim Reaper, causing them to shudder involuntarily.
"Hmph!"
Duan Lingtian scoffed. In just a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the old man, Elder Hong, who was the leader of the high-ranking officials from the Blissful Sect.
Based on the reactions of the people from the Blissful Sect, Duan Lingtian and the others from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were suspicious.
These people thought the death of the Six Combinations Celestial Duke from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect was caused by a hidden powerhouse.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian decided to show these people his true strength.
"An Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke?"
Duan Ling Tian appeared out of thin air in front of Elder Hong. Elder Hong only regained his senses when he heard Duan Ling Tian's question. His expression changed again, and his eyes widened in shock and fear.
"How fast!"
