Duan Ling Tian's vision flickered between darkness and light. His feet felt light and heavy. In the next moment, he discovered he had appeared on a spacious stone platform. In front of him was a divine pit that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"What's this place?"
"Did we leave the first trial?"
"Could this be the location of the second test set by the Celestial Lord Palace?"
…
When Duan Ling Tian heard the commotion, he looked around and discovered that apart from Ling Jue Yun, Xue Jing Yu, and the others, there were eight more people in the surroundings.
Duan Lingtian, Ling Jueyun, Xue Jing Yu, and the others turned to look at the eight people.
Among these eight people, there was a middle-aged man, a young man, and a young woman. Her appearance was delicate and pretty, and her temperament was elegant. Although she could not be considered to be extremely beautiful, she had her own unique charm.
"That's … Dongfang Jin Lun!"
Xue Jing Yu exclaimed in surprise when he saw a finely-dressed young man among the eight people. A hint of dread could be seen on his face.
"Dongfang Jin Lun?"
Immediately, several people not far from Xue Jing Yu followed Xue Jing Yu's gaze and saw the young man in luxurious clothes.
"It's really Dongfang Jin Lun!"
"Dongfang Jin Lun is the most outstanding genius in the Eastern Fang Family in recent years. He's only slightly over 200 years old, but he has already comprehended two profundities from the law of thunder!"
…
Many people in Duan Lingtian's group recognized the finely-dressed young man.
"Dongfang Jin Lun?"
Duan Lingtian looked in the direction Xue Jing Yu and the others were looking at and saw the finely-dressed young man.
The finely-dressed young man was tall, had a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. He gave off a stern aura.
He stood there like an iron tower, unmoving like a mountain. Although he heard Xue Jing Yu and the others' exclamations, he remained indifferent.
"Dongfang Jinlun, a member of the Dong Fang Family, a rank seven clan. He's a little over 200 years old and has comprehended the Fundamental Profundity of the Law of Lightning, the Thunder Elemental Profundity, and the Lightning Profundity of the Law of Lightning …"
Previously, Xue Jing Yu and the others had mentioned Dongfang Jin Lun when they were talking about the people who had comprehended two profundities.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian knew Duan Ling Tian was a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial whose speed was on par with Sima Chun whom he had killed.
In terms of speed, the Lightning Profound of the Laws of Lightning wasn't any slower than the Gale Profound of the Laws of Wind. In fact, it even had a bewitching property that the Gale Profound didn't have. It was a relatively powerful and practical Profound of the Laws of Lightning.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Xue JingYu and the others descended from the sky and landed near where Duan Lingtian and Ling Jueyun were, obviously intending to approach Duan Lingtian and seek shelter.
Compared to Duan Lingtian and Ling Jueyun, the eight people were more threatening.
"That young woman looks familiar as well."
A young man standing next to Xue JingYu said with a frown as he looked at the only woman among the eight people.
"She's Ou Ya from the Frost Sect."
Xue JingYu said in a deep voice.
As the most outstanding prince of the Southern Qi Nation's Emperor in the Profound Nether Mansion's Thousand Nations Territory, Xue JingYu often accompanied the Emperor of the Southern Qi Nation to visit various forces. Therefore, he was familiar with the geniuses in the Profound Nether Mansion.
Whether it was Dongfang Jin Lun from the Dong Fang Family or Ou Ya from the grade-eight Frost Sect, Xue JingYu had met both of them before.
Naturally, they might not remember him even if he remembered them.
"Frost Sect? Ou Ya? "
"I've heard of Ou Ya from the Frost Sect. She's a rare female prodigy in the Profound Nether Mansion. She's not even 200 years old, but she's already comprehended two profundities from the law of ice!"
"In terms of innate talent, Ou Ya is even more talented than Dongfang Jin Lun. Only Duan Lingtian and Ling Jueyun are stronger than her."
…
The few people on Duan Lingtian's side shifted their attention from the young woman to Duan Lingtian and Ling Jueyun.
"Ou Ya?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at the young woman. He had heard about Ou Ya from Xue JingYu and the others. She was a female prodigy from the grade-eight Frost Sect.
Although the Frost Sect was only a grade-eight sect, it was much stronger than ordinary grade-eight forces.
At the very least, none of the 1,000 grade-eight Celestial Kingdoms in the Thousand Nations Territory could compare to the Frost Sect.
The Guardian Celestial Method of the Frost Sect was a King Grade Celestial Method that allowed one to comprehend the law of ice's Fundamental Profundity, the Ice Elemental Profundity, and the law of ice's Frost Profundity.
'The Frost Profundity … Based on the name of the profundity, it should be able to freeze one's opponent.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
…
Not long after the two groups of people appeared, there was a sudden loud noise in front of them. It was like the sound of a flood breaking through a dam.
"That's …"
Duan Lingtian snapped out of his daze and looked ahead. He saw waves surging toward them from the distance.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian finally saw clearly that the place he was standing at was similar to a riverbank.
In the distance, waves of water swept over like a roaring water dragon. The momentum was terrifying.
Moreover, with his Divine Consciousness, Duan Lingtian could tell the waves were no ordinary waves.
The waves were filled with an extremely terrifying aura. That aura even gave him an extremely strong sense of danger.
His soul was slightly throbbing because of this.
"It's the Soul Extinguishing Water!"
Huang 'er's voice rang in Duan Lingtian's mind. "Once the Soul Extinguishing Water comes into contact with a person's body, it'll be able to destroy one's soul!
Without a Duke Grade Soul Defense Celestial Weapon, those below the level of Celestial Dukes will definitely die in the face of the Soul Extinguishing Water! "
Huang 'er said.
"Soul Extinguishing Water?"
Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed as he hurriedly soared into the air. This was because the Soul Extinguishing Water would soon hit the riverbank he was standing on.
"Of course, the Soul Extinguishing Water won't be able to hurt you … After all, your soul is protected by the Profound Divine Metal outside your Sea of Consciousness."
Upon hearing Huang 'er's words, Duan Lingtian realized he had been overly anxious. As it turned out, he did not need to fear the Soul Extinguishing Water at all.
"Heavens! This … This is the Soul Extinguishing Water! "
"The Soul Extinguishing Water can destroy one's soul. Those below the level of Celestial Dukes will definitely die if they touch it!"
"So this is the second test of the Celestial Lord Temple?"
…
When Duan Ling Tian soared into the sky, the others also regained their senses and soared into the sky as well. Some of them recognized the Soul Extinguishing Water, and some of them did not as well.
As the first wave of Soul Extinguishing Water splashed onto the river bank, those who had just learned of the terror of the Soul Extinguishing Water all sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Look … There are boxes and chests on the Soul Extinguishing Water."
A voice rang in Duan Lingtian's ears, prompting him to look in the direction of the voice.
With just a glance, he saw the boxes and chests floating on the Soul Extinguishing Water. However, due to the Formation that had been set up above, he could not use his Divine Consciousness to probe the contents of the boxes and chests.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian knew if he could not probe the contents of the boxes and chests, the others would not be able to do so as well.
After all, most of the people present were peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials like him whose Divine Consciousness was on par with his.
"These boxes and chests most likely contain treasures left behind by the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord!"
Among the group of eight not far away, a middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He was the first to descend from the air and approach the nearest box.
The box was five feet long so it could contain most Celestial Weapons.
Naturally, the middle-aged man did not dare to be careless as he approached the box. His Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Fundamental Profundity of the law he had comprehended wrapped around his body.
Apart from that, a faint blue silhouette of armor could be seen on his body. It was clear he was well-prepared.
He did not dare to be careless in front of the Soul Extinguishing Water.
"This box is mine!"
In just a blink of an eye, the middle-aged man arrived above the box hovering above the Soul Extinguishing Water. He only needed to reach out his hand to touch the box.
Swoosh!
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and touched the box with lightning speed, intending to lift it up.
However, the moment the middle-aged man's hand touched the box, a mysterious power suddenly extended from the surface of the box.
Ripples of energy spread out in all directions.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
…
As the shockwave swept out, the Soul Extinguishing Water around the box seemed to have come to life. It rose up like angry dragons in the water soaring into the sky.
"It's heavy!"
As soon as the middle-aged man touched the box, he discovered it was extremely heavy. Even with all his might, he could only move the box at a very slow speed.
Now, the surrounding Soul Extinguishing Water rose into the air and interweaved into a net that enveloped him. His expression changed drastically.
"No!"
A shrill cry rang in the air as the middle-aged man's body was enveloped by the Soul Extinguishing Water.
When the Soul Extinguishing Water receded, Duan Lingtian and the others saw the middle-aged man's body lying on top of the box. His eyes were filled with unwillingness as though he had died with a remaining grievance.
His vitality was rapidly dissipating, and his soul had been completely destroyed by the Soul Extinguishing Water earlier.
"How terrifying!"
"The Soul Extinguishing Water destroyed his soul in just a blink of an eye!"
"How terrifying! It's too terrifying! "
"I was just about to make a move to collect the boxes earlier. Fortunately, he took the lead. Otherwise, I would have been the one who died."
…
The remaining people felt a lingering fear when they saw the middle-aged man's death. Some of them were even glad they did not make a move first.
"Hmph! You overestimate yourself! "
