War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“A Celestial Emperor?” Lin Fei Yang looked at Jiang Lan incredulously as he asked, “Since you’re a reincarnated Celestial Emperor, you must have a motive for expending so much effort to gather all of us here, right?” He was still shocked about Jiang Lan’s identity. The strongest person in the place he was from, the One Sided Territory, was only a titled Celestial Lord. He did not know if a Celestial Emperor had ever existed in the One Sided Territory, but if there had been one, it would have been a very long time ago. How could he not feel shocked about Jiang Lan being a reincarnated Celestial Emperor? He felt chills running up his spine just thinking about it.

A Celestial Emperor was formidable and reigned supreme. After going through the series of events, Lin Fei Yang did not doubt Jiang Lan’s words. After all, there was no reason for Jiang Lan to lie about this. However, he was confused and curious as to why a reincarnated Celestial Emperor would go to such trouble to gather so many people from different Devata Realms. Even if he were beaten to death, he refused to believe Jiang Lan did not have any ulterior motive.

Jiang Lan said nonchalantly, “At this point, there’s no harm in letting all of you know, I suppose. I’d gathered so many of you here to offer all of you as a sacrifice to the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit…”

The tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit?

Upon hearing Jiang Lan’s words, Lin Fei Yang and the two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, a young man and a middle-aged man, instinctively turned to look at the huge tree planted in the center. It was only now that they noticed the blood-red tree with two blood-red lumps contracting above it.

“The Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit?”

“What’s that?”

“How does this tree or its fruit benefit Jiang Lan to the point where he went to such great lengths to offer more than 10,000 people as a sacrifice?!”

Lin Fei Yang and the two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials were confused and turned to look at Jiang Lan.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun followed suit and pretended to look at Jiang Lan for an explanation as though they knew nothing about the matter.

Jiang Lan chuckled before he arrogantly said, “It’s only natural bumpkins like you from grade-seven forces don’t know anything about the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. The Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit is…”

As Jiang Lan revealed the benefit of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit, Lin Fei Yang and the two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials could not help but gasp as their eyes widened in shock. The fruit was capable of directly helping one break through and become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke from a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial? Moreover, it could also help one comprehend, at least, six profundities that one had not comprehended yet? Moreover, in the past, there was someone who managed to comprehend eight profundities from a law after consuming the fruit?

Jiang Lan, who was looking at the people before him, noted their reactions. He could see Ling Jue Yun and Duan Ling Tian were shocked as well, but they were both calmer compared to the trio. He thought to himself, feeling slightly hopeful, ‘I’m right about Ling Jue Yun… Look at how composed he is under such circumstances. He’s not only stronger than Lin Fei Yang, but his temperament is superior to Lin Fei Yang as well. I hope he’s willing to submit to me and bear the mark of enslavement on his soul.’ He was rather pleased by Ling Jue Yun’s reaction.

Although Duan Ling Tian had also reacted rather calmly, Jiang Lan only thought Duan Ling Tian was not impressed because Duan Ling Tian had to have an amazing fortuitous encounter in the past to obtain two extraordinary Royal Grade Celestial Weapons.

“It’s about time to make a move now!” Jiang Lan’s heart skipped a beat when he looked at the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit and discovered the embryos were at the final stage now. His eyes flashed coldly before his Celestial Origin suddenly surged out of his body. A blue energy immediately shrouded his body.

“No!”

Upon seeing this, Lin Fei Yang and the two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials’ expressions changed drastically.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun exchanged a look; their expressions were solemn. Jiang Lan was finally making a move.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

At this moment, it sounded as though water was being released from the floodgates as Jiang Lan’s body flickered out of sight

Duan Ling Tian and the others had already mobilized their Celestial Origin Energies earlier.

Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun separated and moved in different directions while Lin Fei Yang and the two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials subconsciously moved closer to one another. In the latter group’s opinion, joining forces was the only way for them to defend themselves against Jiang Lan who was much stronger than them.

Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun moving further away, the middle-aged man cried out, “What are both of you doing? If we don’t join forces, he’ll kill us one after another!”

Jiang Lan reappeared and walked in the air in a leisurely manner as he said contemptuously to the middle-aged man, “You think you’ll be a match for me if you join forces?” Then, he shifted his eyes to Duan Ling Tian and lightly said, “Duan Ling Tian, although the power of your combined Royal Grade Celestial Weapons is almost comparable to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, don’t forget about the word ‘almost’. Alas, no matter how extraordinary they are, they’re not Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons! Before you die, I’ll let you have a good look at a real Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!”

After Jiang Lan finished speaking, he casually raised his right hand. A blue saber ray suddenly appeared in his hand. It was even more dazzling than his blue Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Water Elemental Profundity. After a brief moment, the saber ray morphed into a translucent crystal saber. A chilling aura immediately rippled out into the surroundings, causing everyone to feel incredibly cold as though it was winter. As cultivators, Duan Ling Tian and the others were immune to the cold. However, the chilling aura from the crystal sword was capable of piercing through their cultivation base, causing them to feel cold.

“T-this is an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon?!”

“E-emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!”

Lin Fei Yang and the two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials eyes widened upon hearing Jiang Lan’s words. They felt as though their hearts had frozen over. Initially, when they found out Jiang Lan was a reincarnated Celestial Emperor, it did not occur to them that he might possess treasures from his last life. After all, it was not unlikely that the treasures had been taken by others over time. However, upon seeing Jiang Lan’s Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, they fell into despair. What hope did they have to defeat Jiang Lan now? If Jiang Lan had possessed a King Grade Celestial Weapon, the five of them might stand a chance of defeating Jiang Lan if they joined forces even if Jiang Lan had comprehended four profundities from the law of water. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian possessed a pair of Royal Grade Celestial Weapons that was almost comparable to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. Now that Jiang Lan revealed his Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, they despaired and almost completely lost the will to fight.

Buzz!

At this moment, Jiang Lan brandished his crystal saber, and a blue energy shot out of it.

Before the middle-aged man could react, he had already been killed by Jiang Lan. He fell to the ground with his eyes still open. Among the dead so far, the middle-aged was the only one who was left with a corpse. After all, the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit had already been satiated and was no longer absorbing blood energy and soul fire.

It had to be said that although the tree had received enough offering, it was not guaranteed that it would successfully bear fruits. It all depended on the will of heaven.

Upon seeing this, the young man instantly kneeled in the air in front of Jiang Lan and pleaded in desperation, “P-please… D-don’t kill me! My lord, since the tree no longer requires a sacrifice, please spare my life! I’m willing to give you everything I have!” As he spoke, he began to take off his purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon and brought out his Spatial Ring in hopes of exchanging them for his life.

The corners of Jiang Lan’s lips curled up into a sinister smile as he said, “Won’t your possessions belong to me anyway once I kill you?”

The young man trembled. Jiang Lan was like the devil when he smiled at him. He began to kowtow repeatedly as he begged, “My lord, please spare my life! Please spare my life!”

As though he did not hear the young man’s pleas, Jiang Lan said disdainfully, “Moreover… Do you think your possessions are worthy of my attention?” As soon as he finished speaking, a blue energy shot out of his crystal saber again.

Buzz!

With that, the crystal saber claimed the young man’s life.
