Duan Lingtian, who had made a breakthrough in his cultivation base and comprehended the Third Level Advance Wind Concept, transformed into a bolt of lightning and the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon above his head followed him like a shadow.
The khaki-colored energy rolled under Duan Lingtian's feet as though it resonated with the earth. He took a step forward and passed through a few caves.
Other than the strands of purple lightning that raged around the khaki-colored energy, there were also strands of solid green wind that followed him like a shadow.
Not only that, when Duan Lingtian flew out, there was a faint layer of energy on his body that led the way. Upon closer inspection, it was a solid sword-shaped energy.
Above Duan Lingtian's head, ancient horned dragons' silhouettes that covered the sky followed him in a menacing manner.
Due to the fact that the speed was too fast, it was difficult to see how many ancient horned dragons' silhouettes there were.
As long as Duan Lingtian stopped moving, the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon above his head could be clearly seen. There was a total of 1,150 ancient horned dragons' silhouettes.
The Third Level Void Transformation Stage's Origin Energy was equivalent to the strength of 400 ancient horned dragons when fully unleashed.
The Third Level Advance Wind Concept was also equivalent to the strength of 400 ancient horned dragons.
The other three Ninth Level Void Interpretation Concepts were equivalent to the strength of 300 ancient horned dragons when added together.
Altogether, it was equivalent to the strength of 1,100 ancient horned dragons!
As for the additional strength of 50 ancient horned dragons, it was the Earth Energy that Duan Lingtian borrowed from the resonance between his Earth Concept and the earth. It was half the strength of the Earth Concept itself.
Duan Lingtian, who was propelled by the strength of 1,150 ancient horned dragons, was as swift as the wind and lightning. His speed was so fast that many martial artists could not see his movements clearly.
"Huh?"
After an unknown period of time, Duan Lingtian stopped moving. His face was slightly pale.
"Chen Wei!"
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Duan Lingtian's eyes revealed a ghastly coldness as though he was about to devour someone.
He was not unfamiliar with Chen Wei.
It was to the extent that he already knew Chen Wei before he joined the Five Element Sect.
Although the first time he met Chen Wei was not pleasant, it was also because Chen Wei was deceived by his biological younger brother.
Chen Wei himself was very much to his liking.
Before entering the Emperor Wu's Secret Treasure, Chen Wei was still alive and kicking. But now, he had turned into an ice- cold corpse, and it was obvious that he had been dead for many days.
Bang!!
At some point, Duan Lingtian, whose face was gloomy, lifted his foot and stomped on the ground.
Rumble! Rumble!
…
Instantly, a hideous crack split open on the ground where Duan Lingtian had landed, and it extended all the way to Chen Wei's corpse, causing Chen Wei's corpse to fall into it.
As Duan Lingtian raised his hand, his Origin Energy fused with Earth Force surged and collided with the side of the cavern wall. Stone fragments swirled in the air, accompanied by some rubble that fell down.
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian raised his hand once again, and the stone fragments and gravel were guided by his power, filling up the crevice where Chen Wei was buried, allowing Chen Wei to peacefully rest underground.
"Rest in peace."
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself as he lowered his head and looked at the crevice that was filled up.
"What's he doing?"
"I came earlier, and I just happened to see … He seems to be burying someone's corpse."
"It should be a Senior Brother from the same sect who was on good terms with him."
…
Unknowingly, the commotion caused by Duan Lingtian had attracted many onlookers. These people stood in the distance and whispered among themselves.
Duan Lingtian frowned and was about to leave.
"It's Duan Lingtian!"
Two people who had just entered the cavern and joined the onlookers could not help but exclaim in surprise when they saw Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian looked over when he heard them.
With just a glance, he recognized the two of them. They were the two secular disciples from the Empyrean Temple.
Although he did not know the two of them, he had some impression of them.
Duan Lingtian nodded at the two of them. It could be considered fate for them to meet here since they had entered from the same entrance.
After nodding his head and greeting the two of them, Duan Lingtian was about to leave again.
However, before he could move, he realized he was surrounded by three figures who shot out at lightning speed. After the three of them surrounded him, their eyes lit up as they stared at him greedily.
It was as though he was a rare treasure!
"You're Duan Lingtian?"
"The strongest person among the younger generation in the Five Element Sect in the eastern district of the northern desert?"
"I heard you obtained a Profundity Fragment?"
After the three of them surrounded Duan Lingtian, they spoke one after another. Their breathing quickened as they spoke.
"That's right! How could I have forgotten? Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian … I heard he obtained a Profundity Fragment some time ago. "
"I heard about it too. Duan Lingtian, the strongest person among the younger generation in the Five Element Sect, obtained a Profundity Fragment not long ago. "
"So he's that Duan Lingtian!"
…
At this moment, apart from the two Empyrean Temple's monk disciples, everyone else was staring at him.
The other onlookers were glaring at Duan Ling Tian like a tiger watching its prey. They could not wait to kill Duan Ling Tian and snatch the Profundity Fragment from his hand.
"Huh?"
When Duan Lingtian heard the discussion around him, he frowned and looked at the two Empyrean Temple's monk disciples immediately.
At once, the two Empyrean Temple's monk disciples' expressions changed drastically. They shook their heads and said in a panic, "Duan Lingtian, I didn't know you obtained a Profundity Fragment."
"That's right. If we had known that you had obtained a Profundity Fragment, we wouldn't have exposed your identity!"
The two Empyrean Temple's monk disciples were flustered when they spoke.
They had witnessed Duan Lingtian's strength before.
If Duan Lingtian wanted to, he could kill both of them in just one move!
Duan Lingtian's frown deepened.
He was not blaming the two Empyrean Temple's monk disciples for exposing his identity. Instead, he was curious how the others knew he obtained a Profundity Fragment.
Most importantly, apart from the fact that they had never seen him before, all of them knew his name and where he came from.
"When I obtained the Seventh Level Monarch Stage Earth Profundity Fragment, I even extended my Spiritual Energy to investigate the surroundings … Apart from me, there's no one else alive who knows I obtained a Profundity Fragment!"
Duan Lingtian recalled the scene when he obtained the Seventh Level Monarch Stage Earth Profundity Fragment. He was certain of this.
There was no one else alive who knew he obtained a Profundity Fragment!
In that case, there was only one possibility.
"Someone's trying to frame me with the intention of making me the public enemy of the group of young powerhouses who entered Emperor Wu's secret treasure … He wants me dead!"
Duan Lingtian was certain of this as soon as he thought about it. His eyes turned red as soon as he confirmed it.
At that moment, he could not help but be enraged.
What he wanted to do the most at that moment was to find the person who spread the rumor and kill him.
Although he was not worried about the impact the rumor would have on him, he was annoyed that the person was trying to frame him secretly.
Duan Lingtian realized something again when he regained his senses.
Apart from the two Empyrean Temple's monk disciples who were standing far away and trembling in fear, the other four people who surrounded him in the beginning had surrounded him as well.
The seven of them surrounded him.
At that moment, Duan Lingtian finally realized what was going on.
Apart from the three people who were together in the beginning, the other four people were also divided into two small groups with two people in each group.
In other words, these seven people came from three different forces.
There were a total of six forces who came from Entrance No. 2.
Apart from the 20 disciples from Skywolf Fort who were killed by him, he had some impression of the people from the other five forces even if he did not know them.
However, he had no impression of the seven people in front of him at all.
"Are all of you disciples from Anicca Sect, Izumo Sect, and North Nether Sect?"
Duan Lingtian asked in a deep voice as he stared at the seven young powerhouses whose Origin Energy and Concepts were rising from their bodies. These young powerhouses could attack him at any time.
"That's right!"
"Why? Are you scared? "
…
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, a few young powerhouses who surrounded Duan Lingtian had a smug smile on their faces.
As disciples from a second-rate force, they had a sense of superiority when faced with a disciple from a third-rate force like Five Element Sect.
'It seems like there are only two entrances to Emperor Wu's secret treasure … The people from Anicca Sect, Izumo Sect, and North Nether Sect came from Entrance No. 1. Meanwhile, the rest of us came from Entrance No. 2. '
'So far, I haven't met anyone who came from the third entrance. '
Duan Lingtian muttered in his heart as he vaguely confirmed this.
"Who's the Anicca Sect's disciple?"
Duan Lingtian did not show any signs of fear when he was surrounded by the seven people. Instead, he asked slowly.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's eyes were calm, and his face was calm as though he would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
"We're Anicca Sect's disciples."
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, a young man and a young woman answered nonchalantly.
The young man's face was cold as he stared at Duan Lingtian greedily.
The young woman's face was calm, and one could not tell if she was happy or angry.
"Considering that I know Peng Bao … Both of you can leave now."
Duan Lingtian glanced at the two Anicca Sect's disciples indifferently. His tone was calm and did not contain any emotions.
Peng Bao was the Anicca Sect's disciple he met previously. His cultivation base was at the Third Level Void Transformation, and his strength was extraordinary.
At that time, although he and Peng Bao had only made a deal that was beneficial to both of them and could only be considered as a chance encounter, he had a good impression of Peng Bao's straightforwardness.
Now that he knew the two people before him were Anicca Sect's disciples, he remembered Peng Bao and was willing to let them live.
Otherwise, he would not have wasted his breath on them.
"You know Senior Brother Peng Bao?"
The female Anicca Sect's disciple who had a calm expression since the beginning could not help but exclaim softly.
"Yes, I do."
Duan Lingtian nodded his head.
When the female Anicca Sect's disciple heard this, she nodded her head and retreated. "Senior Brother Peng Bao saved my life before. Since you're his friend … I won't make things difficult for you today."
"Hmph! So what if you know Senior Brother Peng Bao? The Profundity Fragment in your possession is mine! "
