Chapter 3306: The Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor
A huge crowd had gathered in the Prodigy Arena. From afar, one could only see a sea of heads.
At this moment, Elder Qin from the Sword Trial Pavillion was already waiting in the battle ring with his eyes closed.
Many people were still swarming to the Prodigy Arena at this time. It seemed like there was an endless stream of spectators coming to the arena.
“That’s the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor’s first disciple, Sima Yu. Among the prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace, he’s only ranked behind the top five prodigious disciples. I didn’t expect he’d come to watch the battle as well.”
The first disciple of the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor, one of the nine t.i.tled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace, Sima Yu, was a young man dressed in a simple robe and carried a zither on his back. He had become a Ten Directions Celestial Lord before he reached the age of 1,000. Apart from that, he had also comprehended all the profundities to the mastery stage.
“In the past, he had fought Han Yun Jin and managed to exchange more than 100 moves before he was defeated… Most importantly, he is only a Celestial Lord. Many people think he’ll have no problem defeating Han Yun Jin once he becomes a Celestial Emperor.”
“That’s right. I wonder when he’ll have a breakthrough. It’s really exciting.”
“He must be really interested in Duan Ling Tian and Han Yun Jin’s battle. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come.”
Sima Yu caught many people’s attention as soon as he arrived. After all, he was only second to the top five prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace. This meant that he was the top sixth prodigious disciple in the Heavenly Pool Palace. Although he was famous in the Heavenly Pool Palace, outsiders were only aware of the top five prodigies in the Heavenly Pool Palace. Unless he defeated Han Yun Jin and replaced Han Yun Jin as one of the top five prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace, he would only be known in the Heavenly Pool Palace.
At this moment…
“Liu Bai Feng is here!”
These words caught everyone’s attention as soon as they were spoken.
Soon enough, a woman dressed in a black loose and long robe that hid her figure and a hat that hid her face appeared.
This woman’s arrival caused another uproar because not only was she one of the top five prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace, but she was also the only female among them. Nevertheless, she was strong enough to be ranked in the top three among the top five prodigious disciples. Her talent and apt.i.tude put many men to shame. She had also defeated Han Yun Jin before. She was the disciple of the You Han Celestial Emperor, one of the nine t.i.tled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace.
“I didn’t think Liu Bai Feng would come.”
“Not only is Liu Bai Feng powerful, but she’s the You Han Celestial Emperor’s first disciple… However, she rarely shows herself in public. I didn’t expect her to be interested in the battle today.”
“It seems like many people are interested in today’s battle. I wonder if any of the t.i.tled Celestial Emperors will show up? I heard a few t.i.tled Celestial Emperors showed up three years ago when Duan Ling Tian fought Fan Qi.”
“Two t.i.tled Celestial Emperors came because the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor came. The Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor came at that time because he was worried about Duan Ling Tian. The Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor and the Smoke Wave Celestial Emperor came to stop the Verdant Prairie Celestial from intervening in Duan Ling Tian and Fan Qi’s life-or-death battle…”
“In another one of Duan Ling Tian’s battles, apart from the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor and the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor, the Merciless Celestial Emperor showed up as well…”
“Those two battles had special circ.u.mstances. That was why the t.i.tled Celestial Emperors showed up. If there’s nothing wrong with today’s battle, I don’t think any of the t.i.tled Celestial Emperors would come…”
Among the nine t.i.tled Celestial Emperor in the Heavenly Pool Palace, the You Han Celestial Emperor was ranked in the top three. The three strongest t.i.tled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace were the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor, the You Han Celestial Emperor, and the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace. Following that, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor, the Merciless Celestial Emperor, the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor, and another t.i.tled Celestial Emperor were ranked behind them. The weakest among them was the Smoke Wave Celestial Emperor.
After Sima Yu and Liu Bai Feng’s arrival, many other prodigious disciples of the various t.i.tled Celestial Emperors came as well. Nevertheless, the commotion they caused was not as big as the commotion Sima Yu and Liu Bai Feng’s arrival had caused until another young man showed up.
The young man was dressed in a grey robe, and a gourd and a long rod hung from his waist. His messy hair that hung over his shoulders made him look unkempt.
Many people’s eyes brightened as soon as they saw him.
“It is Sun Xing!”
“Even Sun Xing came!”
“Sun Xing is the first and only disciple of the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor. Apparently, he was once taught by Yang Jian, the Jade Emperor Heaven’s Three-eyed Celestial Emperor. He’s the most powerful among the top five prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace. Even Liu Bai Feng and Lu Ji aren’t a match for him.”
“I heard that Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor’s true form is a Howling Heaven Celestial Dog that stayed by the side of the Jade Emperor Heaven’s Three-eyed Celestial Emperor… I wonder if this is true?”
“I’m not sure. However, there’s no doubt that the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor is a Celestial Beast. Many people have confirmed this.”
The Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor was one of the Heavenly Pool Palace’s t.i.tled Celestial Emperors. His strength was on par with the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor and the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor. However, the ranking was not especially accurate. This was because since he had joined the Heavenly Pool Palace, he had only battled and defeated the Smoke Wave Celestial Emperor. Apart from that, no one had seen him fight. For this reason, he was only ranked above the Smoke Wave Celestial Emperor.
“With Sun Xing here, three of the top five prodigious disciples of the Heavenly Pool Palace are here!”
“I think at least four out of the top five prodigious disciples would be here. Don’t forget that Duan Ling Tian’s Second Senior Brother is Lu Ji. It’s likely that Lu Ji will come…”
At this moment, five people appeared in the Prodigy Arena. There was a purple-clad young man standing in the middle while a white-clad young woman who was wearing a veil held onto his arm. The veil could hardly conceal the young woman’s beauty. Next to the white-clad woman was a young woman who looked gentle and warm. At the far end, there was a stunning young woman with a captivating figure who was dressed in a tight robe. A young man with a cold and determined expression on his face flew next to her.
These five people’s arrival caused an even bigger commotion than the ones before.
“It’s four of Lord Xu Lang’s prodigious disciples and Pavilion Master Lei Ying’s newest prodigious disciple.”
“The one in the middle is Lord Xu Lang’s seventh disciple, Duan Ling Tian, right? He’s the one fighting the life-or-death battle today, right?”
“That’s right.”
“The other young man in the group with a cold expression must be Lu Ji, one of the top five prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace. His strength is on par with Liu Bai Feng and is only second to Sun Xing!”
“The other two young women are Hu Mei and Wen Wan’er. Both of them are Xu Lang’s prodigious disciples as well.”
Among these five people, Duan Ling Tian garnered the most attention even though Lu Ji was more famous. After all, Duan Ling Tian was one of the main characters of today’s battle.
At this moment, Ouyang Qi Fei and Hong Fei called out, “Little Junior Brother”
Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he saw the number of people who had come to watch the battle. He did not expect so many people to turn up. When he returned to his senses, he responded, ” Sixth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother.”
Duan Ling Tian did not know Hong Fei and Ouyang Qi Fei had arrived early in the Prodigy Arena. Hu Mei tried looking for the duo before they left but could not find the duo.
Hong Fei said with a grin, “Little Junior Brother, I have a surprise for you after you kill Han Yun Jin.”
“A surprise?” Duan Ling Tian was briefly stunned. Then, he asked, somewhat embarra.s.sed, “Did you prepare a gift for me, Sixth Senior Brother?”
“You can see for yourself later,” Hong Fei said mysteriously.
Meanwhile, Hu Mei who was looking around the Prodigy Arena said, “Han Yun Jin is still not here? Is he frightened and decided not to show up?”
“If he doesn’t show up, he probably has to leave the Heavenly Pool Palace. Otherwise, he’d only be a laughingstock here,” Hong Fei said as he laughed. Then, he turned to Wen Wan’er and said, “Fourth Senior Sister, just watch how our Little Junior Brother avenges you!”
“Alright,” Wen Wan’er said softly. However, a hint of hatred could be seen in her eyes when Han Yun Jin was mentioned.
Shortly after, Duan Ling Tian bade farewell to Huan’er and his seniors before he flew into the battle ring.
“Senior.” Duan Ling Tian smiled at the Sword Trial Pavillion elder. He had a good impression of this elder.
The Sword Trial Pavilion elder nodded with a smile. At the same time, he asked Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission. “Are you confident?”
Although the elder had no enmity with Han Yun Jin, he despised Han Yun Jin’s actions. Therefore, he was rooting for Duan Ling Tian to win.
“Elder, you’ll just have to watch and see,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, clearly confident.
The elder was puzzled. He could not figure out the source of Duan Ling Tian’s confidence.
Meanwhile, many Heavenly Pool Palace disciples shook their heads as they looked at Duan Ling Tian and discussed among themselves. All of them thought Duan Ling Tian had a death wish.
“Duan Ling Tian only joined the Heavenly Pool Palace a few years ago, but he has caused so many commotions. Nevertheless, I don’t think there’s anyone in the history of the Heavenly Pool Palace who progressed as fast as he does.”
“I agree.”
“Regardless, it’s going to be tough for someone who’s not even 300 years old to defeat, let alone kill, Han Yun Jin.”
“I wonder how long he’ll be able to last.”
“If I were him, I wouldn’t show up even if it meant my reputation would be tarnished.”
“Considering his age, it’s an amazing feat that he managed to kill Fan Qi. No one would have thought worse of him if he didn’t show up. After all, Han Yun Jin was nowhere as talented as him when Han Yun Jin was his age.”
