Chapter 3338 - The Origin of Journey to the West?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Heavenly Pool Palace titled Celestial Emperors flew toward their respective targets as soon as You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, finished speaking.
Similarly, the titled Celestial Emperors from Duan Ling Tian's group stepped forward to deal with their opponents.
Only Duan Ling Tian, Pei Yuan Ji, and Lian Qiu stayed in a group.
For this reason, Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor, and Li Xuan Tian, the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor, charged in the same direction despite having different targets.
"This makes things easier for me," Pei Yuan Ji said when he saw Lei Ying and Li Xuan Tian flying toward them. He knew Lei Ying wanted to kill Duan Ling Tian, therefore, before he even dealt with Li Xuan Tian, he raised his hand and turned his mustard energy into pillars of energy to trap Lei Ying.
"Pei Yuan Ji, you should worry about yourself instead of taking care of Duan Ling Tian." Lei Ying scoffed. Her energy surged out of her body like a chain of lightning dragons and slammed against the energy pillars. However, how could she easily destroy Pei Yuan Ji's energy pillars?
Pei Yuan Ji was much stronger than You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, so it was not difficult for him to restrain Lei Ying while he dealt with Li Xuan Tian.
Lei Ying had attacked the energy pillars with all her might, but she only managed to leave fine cracks on them. Perhaps, she would be able to break free if she continued attacking them, but it would take her a long time to do so. Her expression soured when this realization dawned on her. Soon after, she brought her Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon out and repeatedly struck at the energy pillars that trapped her.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunder clapped in the air as the purple lightning bolts in the cage Pei Yuan Ji created suddenly merged into a ball of energy and exploded. Based on this, it could be seen that Lei Ying was doing all she could to free herself as fast as she could.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian inhaled sharply. 'This technique… Brother Pei merged two triple-fused profundities from the law of earth?!'
No wonder Pei Yuan Ji was stronger than You Feng Yu. His comprehension of the law was truly high.
Nevertheless, although the law of earth's defenses were really strong, its offensive power was truly weak. Pei Yuan Ji's comprehension of the law of earth was so high that even the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless could not kill him. His comprehension of the law was so high that if he had the same level of comprehension of one of the Four Supreme Laws, he would be stronger than many titled Celestial Emperors in the Devata Realms. Even if it was just an ordinary elemental law, or a weaker derivative law, with that level of comprehension, he would still be stronger than a lot of titled Celestial Emperors.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Li Xuan Tian, whose strength was only second to You Feng Yu, was no pushover. His Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Fundamental Profundity from the law of destruction swept toward Pei Yuan Ji.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Xuan Tian's attack, naturally, failed to breach Pei Yuan Ji's defenses. Although he comprehended the law of destruction that had high offensive power, how could he hope to break Pei Yuan Ji's defenses or defeat Peo Yuan Ji when even the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven could not kill Pei Yuan Ji.
Pei Yuan Ji easily defended against Li Xuan Tian's attacks as he restrained Lei Ying. He even mended the cracks on the pillars that trapped Lei Ying at the same time.
"Pei Yuan Ji!" Lei Ying roared. Her blood boiled when she saw the cracks on the pillars disappearing. Her previous efforts were all in vain!
'It seems like I've underestimated Brother Pei,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he watched Pei Yuan Ji easily deal with two titled Celestial Emperors. Since he did not need to do anything with Pei Yuan Ji making a move, he even had the time to look at the other titled Celestial Emperors' battles.
At this time, all the titled Celestial Emperors were engaged in their respective battles except for You Feng You and Meng Chuan, the Jade Bow Celestial Emperor, who stared at each other from afar.
Duan Ling Tian shifted his gaze to the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor, one of three female titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace. Similar to Li Xuan Tian, her strength was only second to You Feng Yu in the Heavenly Pool Palace. She wore a long black robe, and her long silky hair was draped on her back. At this moment, a cold expression could be seen on her delicate and beautiful face. Her gaze was equally as frosty as she seemed to have turned into a dark energy as she shot toward Xuan Bing, the Profound Ice Celestial Emperor.
Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed upon seeing this. 'It's the law of darkness!'
Apart from the Four Supreme Laws, the five elemental laws and their derivative laws, there were other laws that fell beyond these categories. These laws were the law of darkness, the law of light, and the law of destruction.
At this moment, the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor had cast the profundity from the law of darkness. Darkness instantly shrouded her and Xuan Bing, forming a small battleground for them.
For Xuan Bing, it was completely dark, and he could barely see his surroundings.
On the other hand, those who were outside could only vaguely see two figures in the haze of darkness.
Xuan Bing said, seemingly unflustered by his dark surroundings, "I've heard that the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor from the Heavenly Pool Palace had fused a few profundities and created the Dark Field Profundity. You're quite impressive." As he spoke, a bone-chilling cold permeated the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A thunderous noise rang in the air as the bone-chilling energy clashed with another wave of energy.
"Revert to your true form," the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor said coldly, "Otherwise, you won't be a match for me."
"Well, since you asked so nicely…" Xuan Bing said with a hint of ridicule.
…
After that, Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention to his teacher, Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor, and Ke Bai Lu, the White Deer Celestial Emperor. In the beginning, the duo seemed to be equally matched. However, as time passed, Xu Lang gained the upper hand. Ke Bai Lu switched from offense to defense, using the formidable defenses from the law of earth. Therefore, although Xu Lang's offensive power was stronger, he was helpless against Ke Bai Lu's defenses. After all, even You Feng You could not breach Ke Bai Lu's defenses to kill him; it was not surprising that Xu Lang was unable to breach Ke Bai Lu's defenses.
Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Lang and Ke Bai Lu reach a stalemate. Following that, he looked at the other titled Celestial Emperors' battles.
Teng Xiong Ba, the Swirling Cloud Celestial Emperor, and Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor, fought fiercely. At one point. Teng Xiong Ba managed to pressure Gu Chang Jiang.
Xue Jin Hua, the Golden Flower Celestial Emperor, seemed to be evenly matched with the Smoke Wave Celestial Emperor.
Swoosh!
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian noticed a tall and slender young man with an ordinary appearance shot toward Teng Xiong Ba like a ball of flames with eyes that glinted like that of a wolf. With his intervention, Teng Xiong Ba who had gained the upper hand fell into a disadvantageous position. Teng Xiong Ba now had to battle two titled Celestial Emperors on his own.
'Yang Xiao Tian, the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor?' Although Duan Ling Tian had not met some of the titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace, it was not difficult to identify some of them.
"Come out." Duan Ling Tian summoned the two Ning Dragons with just a thought to help Teng Xiong Ba.
Meanwhile, Lian Qiu stood next to Pei Yuan Ji helplessly. Although he was powerful, it was only almost that of a titled Celestial Emperor. How could he stand a chance against any of these titled Celestial Emperors? He could only smile bitterly as he watched the battles in his surroundings.
When Duan Ling Tian was helping Teng Xiong Ba, he received a Voice Transmission. "Duan Ling Tian, I heard from Sun Xing that you ascended from Planet Yan Huang in the Yan Huang Realm. Is that true?"
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian could tell that Yang Xiao Tian was deliberately holding back his strength and slowing down his speed.
"Yes," Duan Ling Tian replied, surprised. Then, he asked curiously, "Senior Xiao Tian, have you heard about the novel 'Journey to the West'?"
"Journey to the West?" Yang Xiao Tian was briefly stunned. When he recovered his senses, he smiled and said, "Sun Xing said you were born a few hundred years after he was born. It seems like 'Journey to the West' managed to survive through the years…"
"So… You've heard of Journey to the West?" Duan Ling Tian was stunned. He did not expect Yang Xiao Tian would know about it.
"Of course. Journey to the West came from me after all. It came from the legacy and secret codes I left behind in Planet Yan Huang," Yang Xiao Tian said as a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
