Chapter 3477: The Tables Have Turned

Chapter 3477: The Tables Have Turned


Similar to the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Feng Qing Yang, Su Li specialized in the law of destruction. For this reason, Feng Qing Yang had invited Su Li to stay with him for a time to guide him.


It was impossible for Feng Qing Yang to teach Su Li as he would Duan Ling Tian; the most he could do was help Su Li gain a better understanding of the law of destruction.


However, although Feng Qing had openly shared his knowledge of the law of destruction with Su Li and answered many of the questions that had been bothering Su Li, due to law of destruction’s difficulty, Su Li needed more time to apply what Feng Qing Yang had taught him. Hence, Su Li did not improve much since Feng Qing Yang last saw him because he had yet to fully grasp Feng Qing Yang’s words.


Swoos.h.!.+


Despite not having improved much, Su Li was already rather strong. His Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the law of destruction shrouded him before he transformed into a blood-red sword.


The blood-red sword soared into the sky, breaking through Tuoba Ping’s sword rays that were raining down on him.


Su Li did not waste time and retaliated immediately after breaking through Tuoba Ping’s first round of attacks.


Duan Ling Tian who was sitting among the audience nodded slightly. His eyes were narrowed as he murmured to himself, “Su Li isn’t in a disadvantageous position at all…”


After Su Li and Tuoba Ping traded a few rounds of blows, Su Li began to gain the upper hand.


Upon seeing this, a rare smile bloomed on Duan Ling Tian’s face. “It seems likely that Su Li will win this match.”



Back in the battle ring.


The duo, who both displayed the strength of a Three Star G.o.d of War, seemed to be evenly matched as they continued to exchange blows. The blood-red sword and the golden sword rays clashed continuously.


Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+


The sword cries did not cease at all.


The crowd was thrilled by the duel between two Sword Celestials.


“Tuoba Ping really lives up to his reputation!”


“I didn’t expect Tuoba Ping to possess the strength of a Three Star G.o.d of War!”


Many people were shocked by Tuoba Ping’s strength. Previously, most of them thought that his strength would be mediocre. However, this battle proved them wrong.


Nevertheless, as much as they were surprised by Tuoba Ping, they were even more surprised by Su Li.


“Heavens! Is Su Li really only a little over 600 years old?”


“He’s already so strong at such a young age… If he continues to progress, can you imagine how heavenly-defying he will be when he reaches 1,000 years old? At that time, he’ll probably be comparable to a Five or Six Star G.o.d of War!”


“I wouldn’t have believed this if I didn’t witness it with my own eyes! To think someone who’s just a little over 600 years old is so strong!”


“Based on the strength he displayed so far, he’s comparable to Duan Ling Tian, the only true disciple of legendary Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang. In fact, Duan Ling shares the same age as Su Li, and they’re both friends as well!”


“My childhood friend is from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect and is doing quite well… Before the start of the Battle of the Geniuses, he mentioned Su Li and Duan Ling Tian. According to him, Su Li and Duan Ling Tian came from the same mundane realm and have been best friends for many years. They’re both prodigies of the same generation.”


“Su Li and Duan Ling Tian are from the mundane realm? Since when did ascenders have such heaven-defying talent?”


While the crowd was discussing Su Li, the topic gradually s.h.i.+fted to include Duan Ling Tian as well. Many people were shocked that the duo come from the same mundane realm and were even more shocked to find out the duo were ascenders.


After all, it was rare for ascenders to be so talented. Even natives of the Devata Realms could not compare to the duo. Most of them felt like they had lived in vain after learning about this.


There were also some who found out Duan Ling Tian was an ascender earlier when Feng Qing Yang destroyed the clone of Situ Zhugqing, the Heavenly Emperor of the River Luo Heaven.


“Duan Ling Tian came from the same mundane realm as Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang, right? This means Su Li also came from the same mundane realm as Feng Qing Yang!”


“There were many heaven-defying talents from the Yan Huang Realms and several other realms. However, I’ve never heard of so many talents from the same era in a mundane realm!”


Due to this discussion, many people became curious about the mundane realm that Duan Ling Tian, Feng Qing Yang, and Su Li hailed from.


With this, Duan Ling Tian could feel the crowd’s eyes on him as well.


At this time, Tang San Pao, who was sitting behind Duan Ling Tian, suddenly said with a smile, “Su Li has a high chance of winning this match!”


“That’s only if Tuoba Ping has used all the tricks up his sleeve and isn’t hiding his strength,” Zhang Tian You said, “I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard his Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon has an artifact soul. It was a present from the Clan Leader of the Tuoba Clan for his 900th birthday.”


“An artifact soul?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed. He naturally knew the difference between Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons with artifact souls spirits and those without artifact souls.


Duan Ling Tian was about to send a message to warn Su Li when…


Hahaha!


Tuoba Ping, who had been pressured by Su Li up until now, suddenly laughed heartily. “Amazing! This is great! Su Li, you really impressed me! I admit I’m slightly weaker than you. However, this battle isn’t just about strength. Celestial Weapons play an important role as well…”


As soon as Tuoba Ping finished speaking, a green light surged out of his sword before an unknown evil-looking beast appeared.


“It’s a sword’s spirit!”


“Another Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon that has an artifact soul!”


As soon as the unknown beast appeared, the sword’s aura changed completely, becoming stronger and more domineering.


Swoos.h.!.+


Tuoba Ping pointed his sword at Su Li. A green sword ray appeared suddenly; it was shrouded by his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the law of metal.


In just an instant, Su Li who had the upper hand fell into a disadvantageous position due to Tuoba Ping’s Celestial Weapon.


“What a powerful Celestial Weapon!” Su Li’s expression was grim as he looked at Tuoba Ping’s sword. He smiled bitterly, inwardly regretting refusing the kind gesture from the Sect Leader of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.


Before Su Li left for the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect intended to lend him their Sect Guarding Sword that contained a powerful sword spirit. It was an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon pa.s.sed down from the time when the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect was at its peak.


Rumor had it that Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon had killed many Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons’ artifact souls in the past. It was like the bane of all artifact souls.



Meanwhile, the young geniuses shook their heads as they watched Su Li fall into a disadvantageous position.


“I was so sure that Su Li would win. Who knew I thought Tuoba Ping’s Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon has an artifact soul? An Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon without an artifact soul isn’t a match for it.”


Even Duan Ling Tian was slightly frowning as well. Unless Su Li used the divine artifact he had found in the remnant of a Realm of G.o.ds, it was impossible for him to defeat Tuoba Ping. Naturally, Duan Ling Tian would not bring the divine artifact out. After all, exposing the divine artifact would undoubtedly attract trouble. There were many who coveted divine artifacts after all.


Even if no one was bold enough to attack Su Li for his divine artifact in the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven, he would definitely be ambushed during his journey back to the Jade Emperor Heaven.


Even if Feng Qing Yang declared he would protect Su Li, it would not stop people from risking their lives to obtain a divine artifact. After all, unless Feng Qing Yang could be with Su Li all the time, it was impossible to stop people from attempting to s.n.a.t.c.h the divine artifact from Su Li.


Although Duan Ling Tian knew Su Li was not rash, he could not help but remind Su Li through Voice Transmission, “Don’t use your divine artifact even if it means you have to surrender…”


He was slightly worried Su Li would use the divine artifact out of desperation despite knowing better.


Su Li was so focused on his battle with Tuoba Ping that he did not even respond to Duan Ling Tian.


Hence, Duan Ling Tian stopped sending Voice Transmissions to Su Li. Moreover, he knew Su Li had heard his message.


Boom! Boom! Boom!


Tuoba Ping looked like a G.o.d wielding a sword as his body shone with a dazzling golden light.


The green sword ray shone with a tinge of gold suddenly increased in size before it shot toward Su Li. In front of the gigantic sword, he looked extra small.


As the sword ray shot out, the ground trembled in its wake. Even the barrier around the battle ring trembled slightly.


“Su Li, surrender now,” Tuoba Ping said indifferently.


Su Li stood his ground. His eyes were fixed on the greenish-gold sword ray as though he was in a trance.


In just a blink of an eye, the sword ray was already halfway away from Su Li. However, it did not seem like Su Li had the intention of dodging the attack at all.


Upon seeing this, even Tuoba Ping frowned slightly. He had no intentions of killing Su Li, after all. However, there was nothing he could do if Su Li refused to surrender or crush his jade token.
