After dealing with the inner sect disciple who was imprisoned on the seventh level of the Celestial Stairway, Duan Lingtian felt a suction force trying to take him away. It was obviously the teleportation power from the eighth level.
However, when he realized that he could ignore this suction force, he began to cultivate on the seventh level.
When Duan Ling Tian was done cultivating, he calmed his Divine Energy that had transformed after breaking through to the Higher Rank Deity Stage and slightly stabilized his cultivation base as a Higher Rank Deity. Then, he stopped cultivating and allowed the suction force to take him away.
In the blink of an eye, Duan Lingtian appeared in the air above a sea of blood.
It was called a sea of blood because he was now above a blood-red sea. He could smell the pungent stench of blood, but there was no one around him.
However, when his Divine Perception swept out and probed the approximate range of the spatial barrier, Duan Lingtian already had an idea.
Whoosh!
With a teleportation, Duan Lingtian disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in the sky, looking down at the sea of blood.
"The power of bloodline can actually extend to such an illusion and prevent my Divine Perception from detecting your presence. It's indeed impressive … However, do you think you can sneak up on me by hiding like this?"
Duan Lingtian asked calmly as he stood in the air with his hands behind his back and looked down at the sea of blood beneath his feet.
Almost as soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, the sea of blood beneath his feet boiled and rolled. Then, it completely vanished and transformed into a middle-aged man in a long dark red robe.
The middle-aged man was tall and had a determined face. His brows were cold and his eyes were like lightning. "You have good eyesight. You can actually tell that it's the power of my bloodline."
Now, as the middle-aged man withdrew the sea of blood, what appeared before Duan Lingtian's eyes was a barren plain without a trace of life.
"Since I've been teleported here, it's naturally impossible that there's no one here … My Divine Perception can't detect your presence, so how can I not guess?"
Duan Lingtian asked in return.
"You're pretty smart. In the past, many inner sect disciples were killed by me before they could even react. They didn't even have the chance to leave with the Heavenly Stairway Badge. "
The middle-aged man grinned. "The days here are too boring … What I'm looking forward to the most is for you inner sect disciples who are challenging the Stairway to Heaven to come in and give me some fun."
"Seeing that you're smart, even if I have the chance to kill you today, I won't."
From the middle-aged man's words, it was clear that he was very confident in himself.
"Kill me?"
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly. "Then I'll thank you for not killing me."
"Brat, it seems like you don't care about my words."
The blood-robed middle-aged man laughed coldly. "However, you will soon know what despair is … I, Xue Haishan, am the second strongest among all the inner sect disciples who are imprisoned on the eighth level of the Stairway to Heaven if I claim to be first!"
As soon as the crimson-robed man finished speaking, he moved.
Divine power bloomed from his body. Then, it fused with an inexplicable Law that caused one's heart to palpitate. Then, as he pointed his finger, the space around him froze. Moreover, this freezing continued to spread.
In the blink of an eye, the space around Duan Lingtian was shrouded in this space.
This familiar aura caused Duan Lingtian's heart to stir. "The Law of Time!"
He saw through it.
This Higher Deity named Xue Haishan was an inner sect disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect. He comprehended one of the Four Supreme Laws, the Law of Time. This Law of Time was also the strangest Law of the Four Supreme Laws.
After all, this Law of Time could be used to control time, making it impossible to guard against.
However, the moment Xue Haishan attacked, Duan Lingtian sensed that he comprehended the Law of Time. Moreover, he was extremely proficient in the Law of Time. He even comprehended the fusion of three profundities of the Law of Time.
"You comprehended the fusion of three profundities of the Law of Time. Although it's only one, it's enough for you to stand out among the inner sect disciples imprisoned on the eighth step of the Celestial Stairway."
Duan Lingtian spoke again. Divine power swept out from his body. He fused the Space Law's Fundamental Profundities, the Space Element, and then fused the three profundities.
Moreover, he fused more than one of the three profundities.
Two types of three profundities fused and resonated. A mighty spatial storm swept out. In the blink of an eye, it blocked Xue Haishan's Law of Time, causing his Law of Time to be unable to advance any further. This way, it wouldn't affect Duan Lingtian.
As one of the Four Supreme Laws, the Law of Space wasn't as strange as the Law of Time, but it still couldn't be underestimated. Once the two types of three profundities of the Law of Space fused together, the surrounding space was immediately sealed.
Because the space was sealed, Xue Haishan's Law of Time couldn't spread towards Duan Lingtian. It couldn't affect Duan Lingtian.
Shua!
Xue Haishan's originally arrogant expression changed drastically at this moment. He completely collapsed. "You … You actually comprehended two types of three profundities of the Law of Space fused together!"
Why did Xue Haishan think that none of the inner sect disciples imprisoned on the eighth step of the Celestial Stairway were his match?
Basically, all of the inner sect disciples imprisoned on the eighth step of the Celestial Stairway were Higher Deities. Moreover, they had all comprehended one type of three profundities of the Law of Space fused together. Although Xue Haishan was the same, he had comprehended the Law of Time!
The Law of Time was one of the Four Supreme Laws. It was also the leader of the Four Supreme Laws!
He had the confidence to say that he was the strongest among the inner sect disciples imprisoned on the eighth step of the Celestial Stairway.
However, the opponent he was facing now didn't just comprehend one of the Four Supreme Laws, the Law of Space, but also two types of three profundities of the Law of Space fused together. This instantly made him feel hopeless.
He wasn't a match for such an existence.
"Do you still want to continue?"
Duan Lingtian thought. The Space Windstorm continued to move forward. In the blink of an eye, it gradually invaded the space affected by Xue Haishan's Law of Time. During this process, Xue Haishan's power couldn't stop the Space Windstorm at all.
"Humph!"
Xue Haishan snorted coldly. His face turned cold. Then, a small flag appeared in his hand. The flag was square in shape and embroidered with extremely complicated patterns and patterns. Once it appeared, Xue Haishan injected his divine power into it.
Then, Xue Haishan's attack soared. For a moment, not only was he able to match Duan Lingtian's attack, but he was even showing signs of suppressing it.
"Do you think … You're the only one who has a Medium Divine Weapon?"
Although Duan Lingtian didn't expect Xue Haishan to be able to take out a Medium Divine Weapon, even if it was just a Medium Divine Weapon without a Weapon Soul, he wasn't afraid at all. With a raise of his hand, a Medium Divine Sword appeared in his hand.
Swoosh!
Duan Lingtian injected his divine power into the sword and swung it.
In the next moment, the originally suppressed Spatial Energy was completely guided, turning into a ray of sword light completely condensed from a Spatial Storm. It streaked through the air and destroyed Xue Haishan's attack as easily as crushing dry weeds. Then, it continued to rush forward, only gradually dissipating when it arrived in front of Xue Haishan.
At this moment, Xue Haishan's robes fluttered, his face pale and his eyes filled with despair. There were even many pieces of cloth on his robes that were torn apart, and there were many hideous bloody wounds on his body.
Although Duan Lingtian stopped in time, because the ray of sword light condensed from the Spatial Storm was too close to Xue Haishan, Xue Haishan still suffered some superficial wounds.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew past, and Xue Haishan could feel a chill coming from his wounds. However, he was wild with joy. He originally thought that he would definitely die, but he didn't expect to have a chance to live.
"Brother, thank you for showing mercy!"
Xue Haishan bowed to Duan Lingtian and thanked him, "Brother, I, Xue Haishan, will remember this kindness in my heart. I wonder how I should address you, brother? "
"Duan Lingtian."
Duan Lingtian replied. The reason he didn't kill Xue Haishan was because Xue Haishan had said earlier that he wouldn't kill him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to stop earlier.
"Duan Lingtian, I'll remember this."
Xue Haishan nodded. "If I get out in the future, I'll definitely return this favor, brother."
Duan Lingtian didn't take Xue Haishan's words to heart.
In his opinion, the inner sect disciples who were imprisoned in the small realm in the Stairway to Heaven had all committed grave mistakes. Even if they could get out, it would be a long time later.
Moreover, Duan Lingtian's strength was far inferior to his. Even now, it would be difficult for him to return the favor.
Let alone in the future.
"Brother, now that you've reached the ninth level of the Stairway to Heaven, don't hesitate if you encounter any danger. Just use the Stairway Heaven Token to get out … Since you're able to ascend to the ninth level, you're basically the first among the inner sect disciples in the Divine Spirit Stage in this Stairway to Heaven Battle."
Xue Haishan reminded Duan Lingtian before he sent him off.
"Those on the ninth level of the Stairway to Heaven … are all God Kings?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"More than 90% of them are God Kings."
Xue Haishan nodded. "Only a small number of them are Higher Deities who have comprehended the fusion of two types of three profundities of a certain law … If you're lucky enough to encounter such people, brother, you'll still have a chance to pass the ninth level. If you encounter a God King, even if the other party's comprehension of the law profundities is ordinary, brother, it'll still be difficult for you to be a match for him.
When you reach the ninth level, try your best to hold on for a while. If the situation doesn't seem right, just leave. "
Xue Haishan said.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"I'll go out and find you for a drink, brother."
Xue Haishan bade farewell to Duan Lingtian before he activated the Formation and sent Duan Lingtian out of the eighth level to the ninth level.
After Duan Lingtian's figure disappeared before his eyes, Xue Haishan could not help but sigh. "I really didn't expect another Higher Deity to appear in the sect who has comprehended the fusion of two types of three profundities of a certain law.
Moreover, what he comprehended was the Space Law! "
Even in the era before Xue Haishan was imprisoned, such a person was as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn in the Hidden Fog Sect.
In his generation, only his younger brother, Xue Haichuan, had managed to reach this stage.
"I wonder how that boy Haichuan is doing after 10,000 years … with his talent and perception, even if he isn't a Divine Emperor, he should be a Higher Deity King by now, right?"
Xue Haishan muttered to himself.
At the same time.
Outside the Stairway to Heaven, there was an uproar.
"Heavens! Duan Ling Tian actually ascended to the ninth level!! "
"Am I seeing things?"
