Chapter 2532 - Enlightenmen
2532 Enlightenmen
“Am I wrong?” Du Wei yelled, “If I didn’t betray you back then, indirectly causing your death, would you, Ling Tian, be so strong now?”
“How despicable!” Duan Ling Tian sneered. “Did you plan my transmigration as well when you betrayed me and caused my death?” He found Du Wei’s claims utterly ridiculous. Hilarious! Betraying and killing him was beneficial to him?
“Regardless if I’d known about you transmigrating or not, this is the truth!” Du Wei said heatedly, “Therefore, you can’t kill me! If you kill me, you’ll be killing your benefactor. It’s not in your personality to do such a thing!” At this juncture between life and death, he no longer had anything to lose. He could only threaten Duan Ling Tian with talks of morality. In his opinion, Duan Lingtian was a man who knew how to be grateful and would hate to kill anyone who had helped him in any way. He deeply believed that he had helped Duan Ling Tian to achieve everything even though he had betrayed Duan Ling Tian and caused Duan Ling Tian’s death. This should be enough for Duan Ling Tian to spare his life today!
“My personality? It seems like you know me very well?” Duan Lingtian continued to sneer. With just a thought, he withdrew the force that had been supporting and protecting Du Wei in space.
Within seconds, the frigid temperature in space enveloped Du Wei. “Nooo!” This was his last cry before his death.
Although Du Wei was a super soldier, and his soul was as strong as an Eminent Celestial’s soul, his physical body was that of a mortal after all. As a mortal, it would be impossible for him to survive in space without any protection.
Nary a rippled could be seen on Duan Ling Tian’s face as he watched Du Wei being killed by the cold. After Du Wei died, he waved his hand, getting rid of Du Wei’s frozen corpse.
Du Wei’s corpse broke like a block of ice. With just a wave of his hand, Duan Ling Tian turned Du Wei into millions of ice chips. The light from the nearby planets was reflected in the ice chips. Finally, the person who had betrayed him in his past life was dead
“Hm?” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian suddenly looked up as though he had sensed something. He stood motionlessly as he closed his eyes.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Waves and waves of terrifying energy surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s body immediately. The energy shrouded him in the shape of a sword. The energy continued to grow stronger and stronger as they shrouded him, looking like a fierce flame.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was completely focused on comprehending the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords. Previously, he had only managed to comprehend six swords of the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords. He had struggled to make progress after that as though there was some sort of obstacle in his way that prevented him from progressing. That obstacle was his obsession with seeking revenge from Du Wei. Now that Du Wei had died, he had finally removed the obstacle in his way.
After Du Wei had died, the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords had appeared in his mind. He could have chosen to ignore it, but he knew there must be a reason for the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords to appear so suddenly in his mind.
“This…This is…” Duan Ling Tian soon discovered that, with just a thought, he managed to make great progress. Previously, no matter how hard he tried, he could not make any headway at all. Moreover, he was progressing at an alarmingly fast rate.
‘Is this…what they called an enlightenment?!’ Duan Ling Tian redoubled his efforts and concentration as he began to comprehend the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords. He stood in space motionlessly like a month meditating in a temple.
Energy continued to surge out of Duan Ling Tian’s body and rose above him like a huge mountain. It continued to grow with no signs of stopping.
“Seventh Green Lotus Swords!” Duan Ling Tian cried out. He had successfully comprehended the Seventh Sword of the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords.
However, that did not seem to be the limit of Duan Ling Tian’s progress.
“The Eighth Green Lotus Sword!”
“The Ninth Green Lotus Sword!”
“The Tenth Green Lotus Sword!”
It was only one second but it seemed like hundreds of years had gone past. Before Duan Ling Tian realized it, he had already comprehended the thirteen swords of the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords.
“I didn’t expect this windfall after killing Du Wei. Who knew I would be able to completely comprehend the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords?” As soon as Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes, the sword-shaped energy that was as big as a mountain slowly began to vanish into his body. Apart from that, two beams of piercing light shot out of his eyes as well.
“It… It seems like the two beams of light that just shot out of my eyes are sword qi! It’s a sign that I have completely mastered the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords!” Although his instincts told him that he had completely mastered the Thirteen Green Lotus Sword, it was just his instinct. However, the two beams of light were concrete proof that he had, indeed, completely mastered the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords.
Now that Duan Ling Tian saw the Pupil Light Sword Formation, he was convinced of his newly-gained power. He lifted his hand, deciding to test his new power.
Sword ray shot out of Duan Ling Tian’s hand. It did not take long before the second sword ray shot out as well. More and more sword rays continued to shoot out before all of them fused with the first sword ray. Indeed, he had mastered the last seven swords of the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords.
“Although it was rather troublesome to go out of my way to bring Du Wei here before killing him, as it turns out, it’s the right decision. By killing him, I was able to get rid of the obsession in my heart and comprehend the profundity of the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords.” Duan Ling Tian did not expect that bringing Du Wei away from earth and killing him here would bring him so many benefits. “Fortunately, I decided to bring him here and didn’t directly kill him on the ship. Otherwise, I might not be able to completely master the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords. After all, directly killing him on the ship might not be enough for me to let go of my obsession or assuage my anger.”
“You’re finally awake.” Duan Ling Tian heard a familiar voice ring next to his ears. He turned and saw Tang Xiao Xiao looking at him. A surprise expression appeared on his face as he asked, “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be on Planet Yan Huang?”
Tang Xiao Xiao chuckled. “You’ve been standing here for five years… Why do you think I’m here?” She shook her head as she said, “It seems like you were comprehending your Divine Ability. So, did you make much progress?”
“What?! Five… Five years?!” Duan Ling Tian was shocked. It seemed like he did not hear Tang Xiao Xiao’s remaining words after she had said he had been here for five years. He thought to himself regretfully, ‘No! Du Wei’s people would have detonated the super nuclear bombs a month after he died. Five years have passed, does this mean that earth is destroyed?’ A wave of guilt rose in his heart. He blamed himself for being too immersed in his cultivation.
