"Leng Ji?"
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow. The figure of the black-clad young man whom he killed not long ago appeared in his mind. "It seems like he's really a disciple of North Nether Sect."
"Yes."
Peng Bao nodded. "Among the younger generation in North Nether Sect, Leng Ji is the only one who has comprehended the Third Level Advance Earth Concept and is a Third Level Void Transformation martial artist.
Leng Ji is the second strongest person among the younger generation in North Nether Sect. His strength is extraordinary! If we fight in the sky, we're on par. However, if we meet in Emperor Wu's secret treasure, I'm no match for him. "
Peng Bao's tone was filled with dread when he reached the end of his sentence.
Duan Lingtian nodded. Naturally, he knew why Peng Bao said that.
The Martial Emperor's secret treasure was composed of numerous caves that were hidden deep underground. Every corner of the cave allowed a martial artist who had comprehended the Earth Concept to freely communicate with the Earth and borrow the Earth Energy.
"So that fella's name is Leng Ji!"
At this moment, Huang Daniu nodded in realization. He could not help but sneer, "So what if he's the second strongest person among the younger generation in the second-rate force, North Nether Sect? He was still killed by Duan Lingtian! "
Huang Daniu's face was filled with pride when he reached the end of his sentence. It was as though he was the one who killed Leng Ji and not Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong did not react to Huang Daniu's words.
However, when Peng Bao heard it, it was as though he was struck by lightning. He froze on the spot and no longer flew forward.
Seeing that Peng Bao had stopped, Duan Lingtian and the other three stopped as well.
"B-Brother Ling Tian, y-you killed Leng Ji?"
Peng Bao looked at Duan Lingtian with his eyes wide open. His voice was filled with shock and disbelief.
When he found out Duan Ling Tian had obtained a Profundity Fragment, he had faintly guessed Duan Ling Tian was not as simple as he thought. He was much more powerful than he had imagined.
However, he never thought that Duan Lingtian would have the ability to kill Leng Ji!
Leng Ji's cultivation base was similar to his, and the Concept he had comprehended was similar to his as well. However, if he were to fight Leng Ji in Emperor Wu's secret treasure, he would definitely lose.
What Leng Ji comprehended was the Earth Concept. He could freely borrow the power of the earth from Emperor Wu's secret treasure and increase the power of his Earth Concept by 50%.
In response to Peng Bao's question, Duan Lingtian nodded gently with a calm expression, as if killing Leng Ji was nothing to him.
Of course, in reality, it wasn't much.
If he chose to make the first move and unleashed all of his strength, he would be able to unleash an ancient horned dragon's strength that was more than 200 times stronger than Leng Ji's.
He only needed one move to kill Leng Ji!
"Monster!"
The corner of Peng Bao's mouth twitched when he saw that Duan Lingtian only nodded casually in response to his question. This was the first thought that popped up in his mind.
The third-rate force, Five Element Sect, actually had such a terrifying disciple. It made him feel inexplicably shocked from the bottom of his heart.
No matter how he looked at the purple-clad young man in front of him, he was only around 25 years old.
Even if his cultivation base could suppress his aging and he paid attention to his body's maintenance, his real age would not exceed 30 years old.
Peng Bao was certain about this.
It was precisely because of this that he felt inexplicably shocked and even in disbelief.
"Let's go!"
Under Duan Lingtian's beckoning, Peng Bao continued to travel with Duan Lingtian and the other three to the central area of Emperor Wu's secret treasure.
However, along the way, he would occasionally look at Duan Lingtian.
This young man who could be called a peerless monster was able to kill Leng Ji who had borrowed the power of the earth …
Just how powerful was his strength?
"Fortunately, I didn't think of snatching the Ninth Level Saber Concept Fragment from him … Otherwise, I'd be the one who died instead of him!"
Peng Bao could not help but feel a lingering fear when he recalled the first time he met Duan Lingtian and made a deal with Duan Lingtian.
He still remembered that transaction very clearly to this day.
He used the Ninth Level Earth Concept Fragment to exchange for the Ninth Level Saber Concept Fragment with Duan Lingtian.
At that time, in his eyes, Duan Lingtian was just a hothead from a third-rate force. He was weak and not worth mentioning at all.
When he recalled that he was still teaching Duan Lingtian when he left, he could not help but feel his face burning.
"And this time … Fortunately, I didn't covet the Third Level Monarch Stage Wind Profundity Fragment in Brother Ling Tian's hand. Otherwise, I might not even be able to survive, let alone obtain the Profundity Fragment for the sect. "
Peng Bao felt a lingering fear when he thought of this.
"To think that I was worried that Lei Jun would covet the Profundity Fragment in Brother Ling Tian's hand and attack Brother Ling Tian … Lei Jun's ability is on par with mine, but he's no match for Leng Ji in this Emperor Wu's secret treasure!"
Peng Bao laughed at himself. He felt that he had underestimated Duan Lingtian. "Brother Ling Tian can even kill Leng Ji … If Lei Jun dares to offend Brother Ling Tian, he'll definitely die!"
Naturally, Duan Lingtian did not know what Peng Bao was thinking.
Currently, he was fully focused on the central area of Emperor Wu's secret treasure that he was about to reach.
That place was an unknown place to him.
The unknown was also the scariest, because anything could happen inside.
"According to the message left by the Emperor Wu powerhouse, there's a palace in the central area of the Emperor Wu's secret treasure … That's where he died!"
Duan Lingtian recalled the message left by the Emperor Wu powerhouse after he entered the Emperor Wu's secret treasure.
"It won't be easy to obtain the three Profundity Fragments in his body in that palace!"
Duan Lingtian had a strong intuition about this.
Naturally, he had such an intuition because he had merged with the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's memory.
According to the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's memory, if an Emperor Wu powerhouse really left his final resting place and Emperor Stage Profundity Fragment behind, it would not be easy for anyone to obtain it.
In the eyes of a powerhouse like Emperor Wu, only the most outstanding person was qualified to obtain his Emperor Stage Profundity Fragment.
"Huh?"
Three days later, Duan Lingtian came to a halt. The other four people by his side also came to a halt and stood next to him.
This was because they realized there was no path ahead.
Right now, they were in a spacious cave.
There were three entrances to the left and right of the cavern that led to other caverns. They had a confused expression on their faces. They did not know which entrance led to the central area of the Emperor Wu's secret treasure.
"Shall we split up and explore?"
Huang Daniu took the lead and suggested.
"That's the only way."
Duan Lingtian nodded. His gaze then shifted to the innermost entrance on the left. "I'll go there."
"Peng Bao, go there."
Then, Duan Lingtian turned to look at the innermost entrance on the right and said to Peng Bao.
Peng Bao nodded. He had no objections.
"Daniu, Su Li, Big Brother Zhang … The three of you will enter one of the entrances to explore. No matter what the outcome is, we'll meet here one day later. "
Then, Duan Lingtian looked at Huang Daniu, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong.
The three of them were the weakest among the five of them. In consideration of their safety, Duan Lingtian allowed them to go together.
"Alright!"
Huang Daniu and the other two responded immediately.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded at the four of them. Then, he transformed into a bolt of purple lightning and dashed into the innermost entrance on the left side of the cavern. He dashed in quickly, intending to explore the situation inside.
Peng Bao followed suit and dashed into the innermost entrance on the right side of the cavern.
Huang Daniu and the other two entered the entrance as well.
Just as the three of them made their move, a sturdy figure suddenly appeared in front of the entrance on the outer side of the cavern.
"Peng Bao … Let's see how you're going to protect Duan Lingtian this time!"
The owner of the sturdy figure was none other than Lei Jun.
Ever since he parted ways with Duan Lingtian and the other four that day, he had gone all the way to the central area of Emperor Wu's secret treasure and arrived here.
After arriving here, he quickly found the correct path to the central area with the help of the speed boosted by the strength of 1,000 ancient horned dragons.
The correct path was behind the innermost entrance on the right side of the cavern.
That entrance was also the entrance that Peng Bao had gone to explore.
After confirming the correct path to the central area of Emperor Wu's secret treasure, a thought flashed in his mind when he was about to continue his journey. He realized this might be an opportunity for him.
A chance to kill Duan Lingtian and obtain the Profundity Fragment in Duan Lingtian's possession!
"The Eighth Level Monarch Stage Thunder Profundity Fragment!"
Lei Jun's eyes gleamed with greed. In the next instant, purple lightning surrounded his body as he dashed out and disappeared into the innermost entrance on the left side of the cavern.
His target was none other than Duan Lingtian.
To be exact, it was the Eighth Level Monarch Stage Thunder Profundity Fragment in Duan Lingtian's possession.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian did not know that Lei Jun was hiding here. He did not know that Lei Jun was chasing after him.
Whoosh!
After Duan Lingtian entered the innermost entrance on the left side of the cavern, the Origin Energy in his body exploded. Four types of Concepts followed him like a shadow. It was as though he had transformed into a gigantic sword that was surrounded by khaki energy, purple lightning, and green wind.
Whoosh!
The gigantic sword pierced through the air and shuttled through the caverns one after another in an attempt to find out if this was the way to the central area of Emperor Wu's secret treasure.
Time passed by quietly.
Soon, half a day had gone by.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian had also figured out the situation here. This was a maze of death that he could not get out of. There was no other way except to go back.
"Let's go back first … Maybe they have some clues."
With a thought, Duan Lingtian began to go back.
Duan Ling Tian's swift figure came to a halt when he was about to reach the cave entrance. His eyes were suffused with coldness as they descended onto the nearby robust young man.
