Chapter 4119: Resume the Fight

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing the words of the teacher standing among the crowd, Duan Ling Tian looked at Yuan Dong Chun in surprise. After all, even among advanced Emperors of Gods, very few possessed prominent divine artifacts with complete artifact souls. It was only natural that he was surprised an ordinary teacher of the Myriad Laws Academy possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.

To possess a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul, one could rely on oneself to cultivate one’s prominent divine artifact into giving birth to an artifact soul. Apart from that, one could also obtain it from another person. For example, those who failed to survive the Heavenly Tribulation or died unexpectedly would usually leave their prominent divine artifacts to their descendants. However, this was rarely the case because there were very few prominent divine artifacts with complete artifact souls that could be wielded by another person. Under normal circumstances, complete artifact souls would follow their masters in death due to their limited intelligence. Artifact souls came into existence and lived for their masters. As such, they felt their existence was meaningless without their masters. Even if their masters discouraged them, they were still likely to die along with their masters.

Usually, only artifact souls whose intelligence had developed to the level of a human would survive their masters’ deaths. However, it took time for their intelligence to develop to that level. Generally, even the artifact souls of Supreme Gods had developed to that level.

After listening to the reminder, Yuan Dong Chun looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, do you have an issue with that?”

Duan Ling Tian shrugged. “I have no objection. Let alone yours, even if the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation sends someone to check my prominent divine artifact, I won’t object to it. The only condition is that the other party’s artifact soul has to be female.”

!!

In fact, the genders of the artifact souls did not matter if the artifact souls had yet to develop a certain level of intelligence. However, after gaining a certain level of intelligence, artifact souls, which were similar to humans, would reject contact with an artifact soul of the opposite sex.

Meanwhile, Hong Li and the other three’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. They did not understand why Duan Ling Tian was so bold. Could it be possible that the prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul truly belonged to him?

“Since that’s the case, please bring your artifact soul out,” Yuan Dong Chun said.

As soon as Yuan Dong Chun’s voice fell, a prominent divine artifact appeared in his hand. It was a long and slender scimitar that resembled the crescent moon. Following that, a beautiful figure appeared above the scimitar. It was none other than his artifact soul.

The students outside of the Arena of Death were not surprised. It seemed like they already knew about Yuan Dong Chun’s prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. They even knew its name.

“That’s Teacher Yuan’s Shining Crescent Scimitar!”

“I heard that Teacher Yuan is about to break through and become a Supreme God. It’s only natural that he possesses a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.”

“Shining Crescent Scimitar? What a great name!”

“Teacher Yuan is stronger than we thought…”

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian asked Huang’er to show herself as well.

The Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword burst forth with colorful lights, illuminating the entire Palace of Death before Huang’er appeared. She was dressed in a colorful robe as she hovered in the air. Her entire person seemed to be glowing with a dazzling light, making everything in her surroundings pale in comparison.

Everyone was stunned.

Those with a keen eye could see that Huang’er was not weak.

“This artifact soul…”

“It seems like Duan Ling Tian’s divine sword soul is more mature than Teacher Yuan’s divine sword soul…”

“I’m afraid that only Supreme Gods’ artifact souls have this level of maturity, right?”

Yuan Dong Chun was slightly surprised as well. However, he recovered quickly and sent his artifact soul into the Arena of Death as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, let your artifact soul cooperate with the investigation. It won’t hurt your artifact soul so you can rest assured.”

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian said before calling out to Huang’er.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, a divine white light burst forth from Yuan Dong Chun’s artifact soul and enveloped Huang’er. Then, the light began to pulsate rhythmically. After a dozen breaths, the light receded. Following that, the artifact soul turned to look at Yuan Dong Chun before she shook her head.

Yuan Dong Chun brought his artifact soul out of the Arena of Death before he looked at Hong Li and the other three, who wore sour expressions on their faces, and said, “My artifact soul has determined that Duan Ling Tian’s prominent divine artifact only has his aura. There’s no trace of another person’s aura at all. As such, we can safely conclude that Duan Ling Tian’s prominent divine sword belongs to him and wasn’t borrowed. Duan Ling Tian’s use of the prominent divine sword doesn’t violate the rules of the Palace of Death.”

After a brief pause, Yuan Dong Chun said, “Now, we’ll resume the life-or-death battle.”

As soon as Yuan Dong Chun’s voice fell, the barrier separating Duan Ling Tian and the four disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation began to fade.

When the barrier was about to disappear, the expression of the person standing next to Hong Li changed. Then, he looked at Yuan Dong Chun and said anxiously, “Teacher Yuan, I admit defeat! I really regret this!”

With this, the other two followed suit and spoke up one after another.

“Teacher Yuan, we were unaware that Duan Ling Tian possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul before we agreed to fight a life-or-death battle! We admit defeat!”

“Teacher Yuan, please forgive our ignorance and cancel our death pact!”

All of them, including Hong Li, had lost all will to fight. However, it was only due to Duan Ling Tian’s Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. Until now, none of them thought that Duan Ling Tian was stronger than Wang Yun Sheng, the Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. In their opinion, Duan Ling Tian was only able to kill Wang Yun Sheng because of his prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul, which was extremely powerful.

They did not even have a prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul. How could they fight Duan Ling Tian? Their combined strength was stronger than that of Duan Ling Tian, but with a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul, they were no match for Duan Ling Tian at all.

Upon hearing these words, the crowd began to jeer at the four disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation before Yuan Dong Chun even had a chance to speak.

“Since Duan Ling Tian didn’t violate the rules, the life-or-death battle should continue!”

“That’s right! He didn’t violate the rules! Why should the life-or-death battle be called off?”

“Both parties voluntarily signed the death pact. Whether Duan Ling Tian hid his strength or not, it doesn’t affect the life-or-death battle from continuing!”

While the crowd was still clamoring, the barrier separating the two parties in the Arena of Death completely disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Dong Chun said, “The life-or-death battle resumes now.”

When the four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation heard these words, expressions of despair appeared on their faces. After a moment, their expressions turned twisted.

“Since we can’t avoid it, then let’s fight!”

“Let’s fight! If we can capture Duan Ling Tian’s artifact soul, we might be able to turn the tide!”

“Let’s cut off his arm and sever his connection to his prominent divine sword!”

“We can only fight with everything we have. Otherwise, only death awaits us!”

The four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation calmed down quickly before they rushed toward Duan Ling Tian. They cooperated smoothly and attacked him fiercely.

Four streaks of energy with different colors shot toward Duan Ling Tian from different directions like dragons, but he remained calm. In just a moment, he vanished from his spot.

Duan Ling Tian reappeared in front of Hong Li.

As Hong Li’s expression changed, a sword ray shot out and destroyed Hong Li’s attack before it landed on Hong Li, killing Hong Li.

With the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, the Mastery Dao, and the Sword Dao, Dian Ling Tian’s formidable strength was already comparable to most rudimentary Emperors of Gods.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian cast the Double Teleportation Profundity and appeared in front of another person.

The other party seemed to have expected this. As soon as he saw Duan Ling Tian, he quickly retreated, unlike Hong Li. When he managed to retreat without any problems, he sighed in relief.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Upon seeing this, the other two turned and fled as well.

In just a moment, the three regrouped and stared at Duan Ling Tian viciously. However, despite their vicious gaze, a hint of panic could be seen in the depths of their eyes if one were to look closely. Clearly, they were not as calm as they appeared to be.

At this time, one of the three disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, spare me! We have no enmity between us. If you spare me, I promise to give you everything I have in my possession. I’m also willing to be your servant for 10,000 years!”

In order to live, the other party was even willing to serve Duan Ling Tian as a servant for 10,000 years. It did not matter if he had to endure humiliation for 10,000 years as long as he could live. He was still young and did not wish to die. His life had just begun, after all.

Similarly, the other two also sent Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian, hoping to convince Duan Ling Tian to spare them.

In the Myriad Laws Academy’s Palace of Death, the death pact could only be nullified with the consent of both parties. However, both parties would have to pay a huge fine to the Palace of Death.
