Chapter 2343 Chen Yi Ru, the Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial
Previously, when Duan Ling Tian had first entered the restaurant, the finely-dressed old man had already piqued his interest. This was because the finely-dressed old man’s aura felt familiar. It was somewhat similar to the aura of Lao Nai Jiang, the Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. However, with just that alone, he was not able to completely confirm the finely-dressed old man was a Bodiless Celestial. He became 100% certain when he discovered the cultivation base of the finely-dressed old man’s followers. The burly middle-aged man was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage while the skinny middle-aged man was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Since these two were the followers of the finely-dressed old man, the old man had to have come from an extraordinary family or he had to be stronger than an Eminent Celestial. Apart from that, the finely-dressed old man was able to guess his cultivation as soon as he attacked the burly middle-aged man. Only an Eminent Celestial or those who were stronger would be able to do that. The finely-dressed old man also maintained his composure when he discovered his cultivation base. He was not nervous or frightened at all. This had to mean the finely-dressed old man was at least a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Otherwise, how could he have been so confident? Finally, the old man was able to bypa.s.s his Divine Consciousness and probe Si Ling’s cultivation base. Based on all this, he was certain the finely-dressed old man was a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial or even stronger!
“Do you really think I wouldn’t be able to tell that you’re a Bodiless Celestial?” Duan Ling Tian said to the finely-dressed old man.
When the finely-dressed old man heard Duan Ling’s question, he was taken aback by the fact that Duan Ling Tian knew about Bodiless Celestials. “You’ve heard of Bodiless Celestials?” He did not wait for Duan Ling Tian to reply as he nodded and muttered to himself, “I almost forgot that you’re not only a Guardian of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, but you’re also the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute, and the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect. As the leader of such an ancient sect, it’s no surprise that you know about Bodiless Celestials.”
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he asked nonchalantly, “If I’m not mistaken, you must be a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at the very least, right?”
The finely-dressed old man was not surprised by Duan Ling Tian’s words. After all, only those who were Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestials or stronger were more powerful than Eminent Celestials.
At this moment, the skinny middle-aged man who was standing behind the old man chimed in smugly, “Humph! My lord is a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”
Duan Ling Tian’s heart jolted in surprise and his expression turned solemn. ‘Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? If a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial unleashes all his strength, he would be able to tear open a hole in the void. They’re much stronger compared to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.’
The finely-dressed old man was the second Bodiless Celestial Duan Ling Tian had encountered. If the old man was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, this meant he was much stronger than Lao Nai Jiang, the Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.
When the skinny middle-aged man saw the change in Duan Ling Tian’s expression, he began to smirk. In his opinion, this Eminent Celestial, the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny and the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, would definitely rush to let his daughter become the direct disciple of the finely-dressed old man now that he discovered his master was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. However, his smile disappeared when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He thought he had misheard Duan Ling Tian.
“I’ll allow what has transpired to slide, but if you insist on pus.h.i.+ng the matter, I’ll kill you!” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently as he glanced at the old man. In fact, he was not afraid at all when he learned that the finely-dressed old man was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. He only wanted to return to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect as soon as he could without any delay. This was just a trivial matter and he could easily deal with a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, but he would prefer not to kill the other party if it was not necessary. After all, the finely-dressed old man was human. The finely-dressed old man would prove useful when the Devil Clans invaded the Upper Province in the future. It would be a great loss to humankind if he killed the finely-dressed old man now. For this reason, he decided to let the finely-dressed old man go if the old man stopped pus.h.i.+ng the matter.
“Impudent!”
“Impudent!”
The two middle-aged men cried out in unison and their expressions changed drastically as soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking. It had never occurred to them that someone would dare to utter such impudent words after learning that their master was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! He was just a mere Eminent Celestial, and yet he thought he was the king of the world?
Meanwhile, the finely-dressed old man was trembling in anger and his face was red. He said coldly, “Duan Ling Tian! It seems like you don’t know the difference between different stages of a Bodiless Celestial even though you’re the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, and the leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect… Let me show you the strength of a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial before you die!” At this moment, the finely-dressed old man’s killing intent skyrocketed. He continued to say, “A Two Tribulation Bodiless Celestial’s strength is equivalent to an Eminent Celestial like you. A Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial is stronger than you. How strong do you think I am as a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? I can even tear open the void when I attack. Moreover, I can travel freely between the Upper and Lower Province!”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed coldly when he heard the finely-dressed old man’s words. “You’re going to show me your strength before I die?” Based on the old man’s words, it was clear the old man was determined to kill him.
…
Meanwhile, the spectators were, naturally, baffled when they heard the exchange between Duan Ling Tian and the finely-dressed old man.
“Two Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”
“What is this Bodiless Celestial? Why are there different stages?”
“He said a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial is stronger than an Eminent Celestial?”
“I heard that as well. Moreover, he said that he’s a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who’s even stronger than a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… He also said he’s able to tear open the void and travel freely between the Upper and Lower Province!”
“If it’s true, is he even human? That sounds more like a True Celestial from the Devata Realm, right?!”
…
Since Duan Ling Tian had determined the finely-dressed old man intended to kill him, he instantly cast his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability. “Elementary Devouring Tactic!”
Whoos.h.!.+
Whirlpools began to appear and churn rapidly around Duan Ling Tian. In just a blink of an eye, he had absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings!
‘The Lower Province really can’t compare to the Upper Province when it comes to Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy… In just a blink of an eye, I’ve raised my Celestial Origin Energy to its limit!’ In about a breath’s time, Duan Ling Tian had raised his Celestial Origin Energy to its limit. If he unleashed all his strength now, he would be able to tear a hole in the void that would take thirty minutes to close.
As a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, the finely-dressed old man was, naturally, the first to discover the abnormality. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and sneered. “Hm? Well, your a.s.sist-type Divine Ability is definitely extraordinary. However, do you really think your a.s.sist-type Divine Ability will be able to raise your strength to where it’s comparable to a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”
The finely-dressed continued to say in a cold voice, “Today, I, Chen Yi Ru, a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, will kill the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny. My name will be known for killing you. After all, the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny seems to appear only once in every 10,000 years!”
The crowd that was still reeling from shock from the loss of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in their surroundings when they heard Chen Yi Ru’s words. All their attention s.h.i.+fted to him since they knew he was about to make his move.
