The middle-aged man was completely dumbfounded.
In fact, when Duan Ling Tian recognized him as an assassin from the Blood Skull Gang and seemed to know a lot about the Blood Skull Gang, he had already sensed something was amiss when he saw Duan Ling Tian was not afraid at all.
However, when he recalled the message from Zheng Hong Yi, an inner disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, and the fact that Duan Lingtian was just a transcender, he felt relieved.
Duan Lingtian was most likely a reincarnated Celestial who had regained his memories from his past life.
However, so what?
No matter how powerful Duan Lingtian was in his past life, he was only a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial now!
"You … How … How's this possible?!"
The middle-aged man was shocked to discover that even after he cast the other profundities from the law of water, he still could not move Duan Lingtian's hand.
Duan Lingtian remained motionless as he held the middle-aged man's hand. He allowed the middle-aged man's Water Elemental Profundity to wreak havoc on his hand.
"Humph!"
Duan Lingtian snorted coldly as he raised his hand that was holding the middle-aged man's hand.
In the next moment …
Rip!
A tearing sound rang in the air as Duan Lingtian tore the middle-aged man's arm off and tossed it to the side.
In just a blink of an eye, the middle-aged man's severed arm fell into the lake below, causing a splash. At the same time, a blood-red flower bloomed on the surface of the lake.
The middle-aged man had the opportunity to pick up his severed arm, but he did not dare to do so.
At this moment, the middle-aged man looked at Duan Lingtian as though he had seen a ghost. "You … Aren't you a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?!
How can you possess such powerful Celestial Origin Energy?! "
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, his body blurred as he quickly distanced himself from Duan Lingtian. It was as though Duan Lingtian was a ferocious beast that would devour him.
Earlier, when Duan Lingtian attacked, the middle-aged man had only sensed the aura of the Earth Elemental Profundity in Duan Lingtian's Celestial Origin Energy.
Apart from the Earth Elemental Profundity, Duan Lingtian did not use any other techniques.
The middle-aged man knew Duan Lingtian's Celestial Origin Energy was so powerful that the middle-aged man was unable to shake him.
Even if the middle-aged man had Duan Lingtian's Celestial Profundity and used his One Basic Celestial Profundity, he still would not be able to shake Duan Lingtian's Duan Lingtian.
Although the Celestial Origin Energy of a Ten Directions Celestial King is capable of suppressing me, it's not as strong as his Celestial Origin Energy!
'It feels like his Celestial Origin Energy has surpassed a Celestial King's and is comparable to a Celestial Lord's!'
With this thought in mind, the middle-aged man knew he was no match for Duan Lingtian. At the very least, he was no match for Duan Lingtian.
'Duan Lingtian seems to have entered the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm not too long ago … This means he's only an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!
However, his Celestial Origin Energy is comparable to a Celestial Lord's … This means he's relying on a powerful Celestial Talisman or a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon!
Although his strength will continue to be depleted, it'll be easy for him to kill me before he runs out of energy! '
The middle-aged man figured out how Duan Lingtian's Celestial Origin Energy was comparable to a Celestial Lord's Celestial Origin Energy.
At this moment, there was only one thought in the middle-aged man's mind.
'Run!'
Alas, Duan Lingtian seemed to have expected the middle-aged man to flee. With a wave of his hand, his Celestial Origin Energy that was boosted with the Earth Elemental Profundity surged out.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
Duan Lingtian's Celestial Origin Energy that was boosted with the Earth Elemental Profundity whistled through the air and transformed into black pillars in just a blink of an eye. They swirled around the middle-aged man and formed a cage that trapped him.
Although Duan Lingtian had only comprehended the basics of the law of earth's Gravitational Space Profundity, he was still able to cast the King Grade Celestial Method, the Black Rock Prison.
Naturally, the Gravitational Space Profundity was not that powerful.
Currently, Duan Lingtian was relying on his Celestial Origin Energy that was comparable to an ordinary Celestial Lord's.
With his Celestial Origin Energy that was boosted with the Earth Elemental Profundity, even if he had only comprehended the basics of the Gravitational Space Profundity, it was still extremely powerful.
At the very least, the middle-aged man who was trapped in the Black Rock Prison was forced to bend over due to the gravitational force.
"Ahhh!"
The middle-aged man roared as his Celestial Origin Energy that was boosted with the Water Elemental Profundity surged out of his body. His Celestial Origin Energy took on many different forms as he charged at the Black Rock Prison.
"I can't escape … I'm dead meat!"
At this moment, the middle-aged man's face was ashen. He knew he was going to die.
"As long as you tell me who hired you to kill me, I might spare your life. After all, you're just an assassin who has no enmity with me.
You're just doing me a favor, "Duan Lingtian said indifferently as he looked at the middle-aged man's ashen face.
However, when the middle-aged man heard Duan Ling Tian's words, he glanced at Duan Ling Tian before a sneer appeared on his skinny face.
In the next moment, Duan Lingtian saw the middle-aged man's body emitting a blue light. Then, his body exploded, leaving behind a cloud of blood that dyed the Black Rock Prison red.
A Spatial Ring and a set of armor fell to the ground.
"Did he commit suicide?"
Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly, but soon after, he cast it again. It was as though he had come to a realization.
'That's right … Since the Blood Skull Gang has such a reputation, it's impossible for their assassins to betray their employer.
"However, even though he's dead, his Spatial Ring was left behind … The Blood Skull Gang and the other powerful assassin organizations in the Southern Heaven Territory all have a rule: they'll take half of the deposit before they make a move.
Perhaps, I'll be able to find the deposit in his Spatial Ring.
Naturally, the person who hired me has to be from the Profound Nether Mansion. However, if he's not from the Profound Nether Mansion, he won't be able to recognize me, let alone kill me.
Moreover, those from the Profound Nether Mansion would only have prominent Celestial Crystals at most. An assassin organization like the Blood Skull Gang wouldn't care about prominent Celestial Crystals.
In other words, the person who hired the Blood Skull Gang to kill me must have paid the Blood Skull Gang with something else instead of Celestial Crystals. '
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian's thoughts changed rapidly. He thought of many things and even had his own speculations.
'Although some of the people I killed during my trip to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm came from extraordinary backgrounds, it's impossible for them to be certain I killed them even if they suspect me. It's impossible for them to go to the Blood Skull Gang to kill me just because they suspect me.'
In other words, the person who hired the Blood Skull Gang to kill me is most likely from the Simplicity Celestial Sect. '
With this thought in mind, a figure appeared in Duan Lingtian's mind. It was none other than Zheng Hong Yi, the third direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect whom he had met when he first arrived in the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
'Based on what the inner disciples said, if I didn't show up, it's very likely Zheng Hong Yi would take my spot as a true disciple.
When I first met Zheng Hong Yi, I could sense his jealousy and hostility toward me. Perhaps, he's the one who hired the Blood Skull Gang to kill me?
However, is he capable of contacting the Blood Skull Gang and hiring the Blood Skull Gang to kill me? '
With these questions in mind, Duan Lingtian made his way back to the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate. 'When I return, I'll look for the sect leader and show him the items in that person's Spatial Ring. If they belong to Zheng Hong Yi, the sect leader might be able to recognize them.'
Although Zheng Hong Yi was the direct disciple of Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Duan Lingtian knew Zheng Hong Yi was only an ordinary direct disciple.
Sun Liang Peng's other two direct disciples were also true disciples. Their innate talent far surpassed Zheng Hong Yi's.
This was one of the reasons Zheng Hong Yi failed to become a true disciple; his innate talent was limited.
Duan Ling Tian believed that if it was really Zheng Hong Yi who did it, Sun Liang Peng would surely give him an explanation and would not shield Zheng Hong Yi.
Sun Liang Peng would not hesitate to settle this matter in private.
If he was an ordinary inner disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Sun Liang Peng might not even care about him.
Of course, Duan Lingtian knew Sun Liang Peng was only a disciple of Sun Liang Peng.
The only reason Sun Liang Peng was willing to give him an explanation was because he was extremely valuable to Sun Liang Peng. This could be seen from Sun Liang Peng's attitude when he first joined the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
It was impossible for Sun Liang Peng to entertain ordinary people who entered the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
While Duan Lingtian was on his way back to the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate, the Blood Skull Gang received a Communication Celestial Talisman from the assassin who had just committed suicide in front of Duan Lingtian.
"The target is Duan Lingtian. Although he's a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, he possesses a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon or a Celestial Talisman that allows him to possess the Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial Lord.
Soon after the Communication Celestial Talisman was sent to the Blood Skull Gang, Chen Li, who was the illegitimate son of one of the vice leaders of the Blood Skull Gang, received the news.
"What?!
Duan Lingtian possesses a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon or a Celestial Talisman that allows him to possess the Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial Lord? "
Chen Li was dumbfounded.
He did not expect Duan Lingtian to have such a trump card!
'It seems like he's really a reincarnated Celestial. Moreover, he wasn't an ordinary Celestial in his past life. He must have regained his memories and obtained something from his past life.'
In Chen Li's opinion, the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon or a Celestial Talisman that allowed him to possess the Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial Lord must have been left behind by Duan Lingtian in his past life.
It was highly likely that Duan Lingtian was a Celestial Lord in his past life.
