"Is this where Jiang Lan chose to carry out his plan?" When Duan Ling Tian's vision returned to him, he discovered he was in an average-size cave. He was surrounded by stone walls; there were no doors or passages. It was completely sealed.

"Huang'er," Duan Ling Tian called out to the soul artifact in his body. "Earlier, Ling Jue Yun told me you'll be able to help me see through the Illusory Formations in here…"

Before Huang'er could reply, the Chaos Divine Earth's childish voice rang in Duan Ling Tian's mind. "Boy, you don't need Huang'er for that. I can easily do that as well!" A hint of pride could be heard in its voice when it spoke.

"You are capable of that as well?" Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised.

"Of course." The Chaos Divine Earth felt prouder when he sensed Duan Ling Tian was rather impressed.

Then, a scoff rang in Duan Ling Tian's mind.

It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to identify the Profound Divine Metal. At the same time, he discovered an energy shooting out from the Profound Divine Metal to his eyes before covering the surface of his eyeball. With that, a golden light in his eyes. It was as though he possessed a pair of golden fiery eyes. However, the golden light only lasted for a brief moment before it fused into his eyes and vanished without a trace.

Immediately after that, Duan Ling Tian discovered the scenery around him had changed. He found that he was in a high cave on a floating island. Most importantly, there was a towering tree on the island. Unlike ordinary trees, this tree was blood-red. Not only were the branches red, but even the leaves were red. Apart from that, even the energies that resembled lightning bolts surrounding it were blood-red.

"Hm?" Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian discovered the other peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials at the peak of the huge mountain earlier were also here. He quickly found Ling Jue Yun, Murong Xiao Xiao, and Lin Fei Yang.

Apart from Ling Jue Yun who stood unmoving, the others were looking left and right as though they could not see the people around them.

'It seems like they're affected by the Illusory Formation.' It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to come to this conclusion. Before the Profound Divine Metal did what it did, he thought he was in a fairly small cave, and he did not see anyone around him. Clearly, that was the effect of the Illusory Formation.

"Profound Divine Metal, why do you have to steal my thunder?" The Chaos Divine Earth sounded vexed. He had felt proud when Duan Ling Tian was impressed by its ability to see through Illusory Formations. However, before he could even show off, the Profound Divine Metal had beaten him to it.

The Profound Divine Metal replied indifferently, "You were going on and on about such a trivial skill… I just couldn't watch you go on any longer."

Duan Ling Tian chuckled as he said teasingly, "Chaos Divine Earth, so you're not the only one with the ability to help me see through Illusory Formations? Since Senior Profound Divine Metal is capable of that, Senior Chaos Divine Flame is likely to be able to do the same, right?"

This time, the Chaos Divine Earth did not respond to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian knew the Chaos Divine Earth was sulking. After all, it had thought it was his time to shine, but who knew the Profound Divine Metal would steal its thunder?

After spending time together, Duan Ling Tian had a relatively good grasp on the three Divine Elements' personalities.

Among the three, the Chaos Divine Flame seemed mature like a wise elder. The Profound Divine Metal was reliable, but it liked to occasionally tease the Chaos Divine Earth. As for the Chaos Divine Earth, it acted no different from a child even though its power was not inferior to the Profound Divine Metal and the Chaos Divine Flame. In terms of maturity and sensibility, the Chaos Divine Earth was still lacking compared to the other two Divine Elements.

"Duan Ling Tian, don't act rashly and expose the fact that you've seen through the Illusory Formation. Just kill whoever attacks you. You can use a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon if you have one." Ling Jue Yun's voice suddenly rang in Duan Ling Tian's mind. "However, don't use Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons in order to avoid making Jiang Lan wary or suspicious… If he puts his guard up, it'd be harder for us to snatch the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits from him if the tree successfully bears fruit."

With these words, Duan Ling Tian confirmed that Ling Jue Yun had also seen through the Illusory Formation with the help of his artifact soul.

Almost as soon as Ling Jue Yun finished speaking…

Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian heard the sound of movements before a blue-clad young man appeared in front of him.

The blue-clad young man immediately attacked with what seemed like a web made out of lightning bolts.

'The law of thunder?' Based on the blue-clad young man's attack, it was not difficult for him to figure out that the blue-clad young man had comprehended the law of thunder.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The blue-clad young man's attack contained his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the law of thunder's profundities. On top of that, he was also wielding a King Grade Celestial Weapon. When he struck, his attack was thunderously loud.

Duan Ling Tian briefly studied the blue-clad young man. He noticed the blue-clad young man's eyes were flashing with killing intent as though he was facing his prey and would not stop until he had hunted it down.

'Two profundities from the law of thunder?' Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he waved his hand. Then, a ring with nine tips appeared in his hand. After that, he cast two profundities from the law of fire, the Fire Elemental Profundity and the Pillaging Profundity.

After exchanging only one move, it was obvious that Duan Ling Tian's strength overwhelmed the blue-clad young man. Although their profundities were roughly on the same level, Duan Ling Tian's Royal Grade Celestial Weapon helped him to completely overpower the blue-clad young man who was only wielding a King Grade Celestial Weapon.

"No!!!" The blue-clad young man cried out before he died. Before he died, he saw the ring with nine horns in Duan Ling Tian's hand. He could tell it was not an ordinary weapon.

The weapon Duan Ling Tian was using was the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring. The mysterious Brother Pei had left it with him when he was still in the borderlands of the Southern Heaven Territory. However, after he waited for a long time, Brother Pei disappeared and did not return for the weapons.

…

Meanwhile, after Duan Ling Tian killed the blue-clad young man…

"Interesting… If I'm not mistaken he's Duan Ling Tian from the Spirit Overarching Heaven's Southern Territory. I asked Ling Jue Yun to extend the invitation to him." A figure sat cross-legged above the towering tree on the island. A faint smile could be seen on his face as he watched Duan Ling Tian. This person was none other than Jiang Lan. He had appeared at some point after Duan Ling Tian and the others were transported to this place.

In Jiang Lan's opinion, there was no way the others could see him even if he was right in front of them. Similarly, they would not be able to see the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit that he had planted in his past life.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

After the blue-clad young man was killed, his body withered rapidly. At the same time, his blood energy and soul fire flew out of his body into the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit in the middle of the cave.

When the tree absorbed the blue-clad young man's blood energy and soul fire, it was like a beast. After absorbing them, its color darkened immediately.

The blue-clad young man was the first person to die. After his death, a few others died as well. All of them were those who had only comprehended two profundities from a law. They were all killed by those who had comprehended three profundities from a law.

All these people whom Jiang Lan gathered here were peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. The difference in their strength depended on the number of profundities and the type of laws they had comprehended. Apart from that, more than 80% of them only possessed King Grade Celestial Weapons. It was rare to see a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.

For this reason, Jiang Lan was rather surprised when he saw Duan Ling Tian wielding a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon earlier. Since he was a reincarnated Celestial Emperor, he had already obtained his Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon from his past life. Therefore, a mere Royal Grade Celestial Weapon was nothing in his eyes.

"This Ling Jue Yun… is truly monstrous!" Jiang Lan quickly shifted his attention to a grey-clad young man. Coincidentally, Ling Jue Yun had just finished killing his opponent. Needless to say, Ling Jue Yun's opponent became nutrients for the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit after he died.

"He has comprehended three profundities from the law of death. Similar to me and Duan Ling Tian, he's also younger than 100 years old. His talents are heaven-defying!"

Although Jiang Lang had comprehended four profundities from the law of water before the age of 100, he was aware it was due to his rebirth and memories from his past life as a Celestial Emperor. He could tell Ling Jue Yun was truly talented since he could confirm Ling Jue Yun was not a reincarnated Celestial. As such, he was truly impressed by Ling Jue Yun's achievements. Even in his past life, he had never met anyone who had achieved so much at Ling Jue Yun's age. He continued to watch Ling Jue Yun and evaluated Ling Jue Yun's talent. After a moment, he thought to himself, 'If Ling Jue Yun manages to survive in the end, I might consider giving him one Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit… After all, the tree always bears a pair of Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits, and I only need one. Naturally, this is only under the condition that he allows me to brand his soul with an enslavement mark to ensure he obeys me at all times!'
