Chapter 2578 The Newly-Ascended Celestial Is Terrifying

“Gravitational Prison!”

“In order to fight this cultivator who just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, not only did Wang Wei cast his assist-type Divine Ability, but he also cast his offensive Divine Ability, the Gravitational Prison?”

“He has only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, is this necessary?”

The other men in silver armors were dumbfounded when they saw the Divine Abilities Wang Wei had cast when fighting Duan Ling Tian. They were puzzled. Why was Wang Wei treating a newly-ascended Celestial like an opponent equal to him? Naturally, this was because they had yet to discover this newly-ascended Celestial was capable of producing tens of thousands of sword rays that hovered around him. Most importantly, the sword rays made Wang Wei feel a sense of danger.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of deafening explosions suddenly rang in the air. Wang Wei had increased the gravity on Duan Ling Tian as though he planned to crush Duan Ling Tian using his offensive Divine Ability, the Gravitational Prison.

Swoosh!

At the same time, Wang Wei who had grown into a giant after casting his assist-type Divine Ability, the Giant Phenomenon, raised his hand and sent out a wave of Celestial Origin Energy in the form of swift and piercing saber rays. The size of the saber rays were, naturally, huge as well.

Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

A buzzing noise rang in the air as Wang Wei used his remarkable saber technique. Soon after, numerous saber rays shot out from the gigantic saber in his hand. They were like a troop of formidable army as they flew toward Duan Ling Tian who was imprisoned in the Gravitational Prison. The saber rays flew in such an angle that it seemed like they were going to cut Duan Ling Tian into a million pieces. However, upon closer inspection, one would see the saber rays were only targeting Duan Ling Tian’s right arm and right leg. Wang Wei was serious when he said he was going to sever Duan Ling Tian’s arm and leg!

The seven men clad in silver armors shook their heads when they saw this. All of them thought he was overreacting.

“Wang Wei even cast his Celestial Method?”

“He’s really not holding back… Is it necessary to go all out against a Celestial who has just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven though?”

“Maybe he’s just being overly cautious?”

Wang Wei, a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial, was going all out in a fight against someone who had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven! In their opinion, Wang Wei was stooping too low.

‘Wang Wei’s full strength is far stronger than a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the mundane realms!’ Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wang Wei’s attacks. If Wang Wei did not cast his Celestial Method, Wang Wei’s strength would be on par with a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. With the Celestial Method, Wang Wei’s strength has, naturally, surpassed that of a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Wang Wei’s strength is currently comparable to ordinary Golden Celestials who did not cast any Divine Abilities or Celestial Method.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes turned icy-cold when the saber rays passed through the gravitational prison and made their way to his arm and leg.

‘Sword Formation! Thirteen Green Lotus Swords!’ With just a thought, Duan Ling Tian cast his strongest technique from the Sovereign Heart Sword and his offensive Divine Ability, the Thirteen Green Lotus Sword.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

In just a blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of sword rays hovering around Duan Ling Tian flashed and formed a Sword Battle Formation at an alarming speed before flying out. It left seven afterimages in its wake!

Duan Ling Tian had only used the first seven moves from the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords. He did not think it was necessary to use all the moves against an opponent like Wang Wei.

Bang!

In just a moment, the Sword Formation merged with its afterimages and it glowed brighter than before.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

Sword cries sounded again as the Sword Formation formed by tens of thousands of sword rays’ strength rose by another level.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wang Wei and the others were stunned when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Battle Formation had easily destroyed the Gravitational Prison that seemed capable of imprisoning him. However, currently, it seemed fragile as Duan Ling Tian easily destroyed it with his Formation.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Battle Formation collided with Wang Wei’s Celestial Method as well. Although it met with some resistance, it was still crushed by the Formation in just a blink of an eye!

“No… Impossible!” Wang Wei cried out when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Battle Formation destroying all his attacks like an unstoppable rampaging beast.

Wang Wei’s expression changed drastically, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He had speculated earlier that Duan Ling Tian was not a simple person, therefore, he had played it safe and attacked with all his might. Not even in his wildest dream did he think he would lose to a Celestial who had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven even after unleashing all his strength!

“No!” Wang Wei cried out. Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Battle Formation did not lose momentum and continued flying forth like an eagle toward him. His eyes were widened in horror as despair rose in his heart. He did not have time to mobilize his Celestial Origin Energy after all.

“Ah——”

A shriek not dissimilar to pigs being slaughtered rang in the air, sending chills running up the spines of the seven onlookers. Soon after, they saw each one of Wang Wei’s arm and leg had been severed. The blood spurted out like rain and splattered all over the ground, looking like blooming roses. Naturally, no one was in the mood to admire such a sight

“You should be glad I have no intention to kill you. Otherwise, you’d definitely die!” Duan Ling Tian said coldly, causing Wang Wei and the others to shudder involuntarily.

Wang Wei staunched the bleeding on his wounds before he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian again. A hint of relief could be seen on his face. It was truly fortunate he had abided by the rule of not killing those who were newly ascended. If he had tried to kill Duan Ling Tian, there was no doubt he would have died

“W-who are you?!” Fear lingered on Wang Fei’s face. This was his first time seeing a newly-ascended Heavenly Celestial with such terrifying strength.

‘Is he really just a Heavenly Celestial?’

Although the others present on the scene knew the Celestial Ascension Pool only accepted Eminent Celestials, they could not help but use their Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base after seeing his strength.

“Hm?” With seven powerful Divine Consciousness approaching him at once, how could Duan Ling Tian not discover them? ‘Based on the seven Divine Consciousness, five of them are comparable to Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials while the other two are comparable to Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials.’ In any case, he was not bothered. Even if they used soul attacks on him because they assumed he was just a weak Heavenly Celestial who had just ascended, he still had the defective metal piece to counter the soul attacks.

Duan Ling Tian had speculated the other seven men’s cultivation base should be roughly the same as Wang Wei. It was likely that they had not become Golden Celestials. With the defective metal piece, he was very confident he would be able to defend against the soul attacks from someone with their strength.

‘Hm? Where’s the metal piece?’ Duan Ling Tian instinctively tried to touch the defective metal piece, and his expression changed dramatically. He recalled his robes had been destroyed when he ascended, and he was naked in the Celestial Ascension Pool…

‘Don’t tell me I lost it when my robe was destroyed?’ With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned gloomy. He had only brought the defective metal piece and the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, a Devata artifact that had lost its weapon spirit, and had merged with his body. He did not even bring his Spatial Ring since it could not be brought into the Devata Realms. However, he had forgotten about his robes! More importantly, he did not think he would lose consciousness in the process!
