Chapter 3148 - History Repeats Itself

Chapter 3148: History Repeats Itself Faced with Heng Feng’s fierce attack, Duan Ling Tian had no intention of using the Teleportation Profundity just like he had said. The space within a 10-meter radius around him began to ripple and distort in just a blink of an eye. In just a blink of an eye, he had cast the law of space’s Territory Profundity and Distortion Profundity of the law of space.

Restraining Profundity!
As soon as Heng Feng entered the distorted space, Duan Ling Tian mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the Space Elemental Profundity to restrain Heng Feng.

Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity!
In the next moment, a grey sword ray shot out of a spatial tear that had appeared in the void. It cut across the sky as easily nullified Heng Feng’s attack. Its strength did not diminish, boosted by the Territory Profundity, the Distortion Profundity, and the Restraining Profundity. In fact, its strength seemed to have doubled as it continued on its trajectory.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Meanwhile, Heng Feng cast the law of earth’s Gravitational Space Profundity and the Shake Profundity. Rock pillars appeared and formed a barrier, separating him from Duan Ling Tian. The energy from the rock pillars repelled the incoming energy from the other side. It was clear he had been prepared for this. He had switched his strategy and focused entirely on his defenses as he waited for Duan Ling Tian to attack. His mind was completely focused on the rock pillars; he would not allow himself to be distracted. He was prepared to shift the rock pillars if Duan Ling Tian were to transport or teleport his attack to another direction. He did not think Duan Ling Tian would refrain from using the Teleportation Profundity at all.

Senior Chaos Divine Flame, Senior Profound Divine Metal, please help me!
Duan Ling Tian said. He wanted the two Divine Elements to boost the grey sword rays that had shot out of the spatial tear.
At the end of his words, two streaks of energies shot out from his body and merged with the attack from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity. A dazzling golden flame shrouded the grey sword ray immediately. It was visually impactful!

What technique is this?
Wan Qing Qing who was watching from afar was shocked upon seeing this.
At this moment, Heng Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He had also noticed there was something different about this attack from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity. It was different from Duan Ling Tian’s previous attack. ‘He really concealed his true strength before this!’
Heng Feng could tell the golden flame that shrouded the grey sword ray was not from any profundities from the law of space. Therefore, he assumed this was Duan Ling Tian’s inherent skill similar to how Wan Qing Qing’s speed was an inherent skill that she was born with.
Wan Qing Qing’s original form was a Celestial Grass, the Gale Grass, in a canyon in the Southern Heaven Territory. Due to a fortuitous encounter, she gained a human form and began to walk on the path of cultivation. Since her original form was that of a plant, her comprehension of the law of wood was high and her cultivation speed was fast compared to humans. Most importantly, she had an inherent skill due to her origin as a Gale Grass that was called the Gale after she gained a human form. Her current speed from her inherent skill was comparable to three movement profundities from the law of wind. However, she was not able to further boost her speed with the profundities from the law of wood. Even then, her speed was superior to most of her peers.
For all these reasons, Heng Feng assumed Duan Ling Tian had an inherent skill as well. He thought to himself, ‘Duan Ling Tian must not be human…’
At this moment, Heng Feng was under immense pressure. His heart raced wildly in his heart when he recalled Duan Ling Tian’s confidence and his speculation about Duan Ling Tian being a foreign being. He forced himself to calm down as his eyes flashed with determination. ‘Calm down… Even if he has an inherent skill, it might not be able to breach my defenses!’

Heng Feng, prepare yourself. My attack will land in three breaths.
Duan Ling Tian raised a hand. The grey sword ray shrouded in golden flames seemed to increase in strength and speed.
Heng Feng was infuriated upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. He felt humiliated. He retorted,
Duan Ling Tian, I’d love to see if your performance matches your confidence!

In just a blink of an eye, three breaths had passed.
Buzz!
Duan Ling Tian swung his arm. The grey sword ray released by the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity shot toward Heng Feng’s first line of defense, the rock pillars that were strengthened by the Earth Elemental Profundity, the Gravitational Space Profundity, and the Shake Profundity.
Meanwhile, Wan Qing Qing looked at the grey sword ray unblinkingly. She could not tear her eyes away from it at all. The void shook in the grey sword ray’s wake. She watched as the grey sword ray landed on Heng Feng’s first line of defense before destroying it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even with the reinforcement from the Gravitational Space Profundity, the Shake Profundity, and the Earth Elemental Profundity, the grey sword ray cut through the rock pillars like a hot knife through butter.
Although the rock pillars Heng Feng had manifested were rather impressive, their defensive strength was incomparable to the Defense Profundity nor the Crystal Barrier Profundity from the law of earth. It was, at most, comparable to the defensive strength of the Rock Style Profundity. Nevertheless, Heng Feng’s expression changed drastically as he watched his first line of defense crumble in just a blink of an eye. Only he alone knew even the Recovery Profundity was not fast enough to restore the rock pillars.
Swoosh!
The grey sword ray continued on its course toward Heng Feng. Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see the golden flame surrounding it had dimmed. It was obvious Heng Feng’s first line of defense had exhausted some of its power. Soon after, it finally landed on the crystal armor that he had manifested and boosted using the Crystal Barrier Profundity and the Defensive Profundity, the two main defensive profundities from the law of earth.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
After a short stalemate, the grey sword ray pierced through the crystal armor that had been strengthened with the Defensive Profundity. After a short standoff, the grey sword ray destroyed the seals on the crystal armor. With that, the grey sword ray had successfully breached the Defense Profundity. However, the golden flame around the grey dimmed even further. It looked as though it was going to vanish at any moment.

No!
Heng Feng cried out as his expression changed dramatically. He discovered that although the golden flame seemed as though it was going to disappear due to exhaustion, the grey sword ray’s power was not exhausted at all! Even after breaching his first line of defense and the seals from the Defensive Profundity, the golden flame, weak as it might be, had not died out. Moreover, the grey sword ray still had its full strength! Heavens! What kind of power was this? The power of this attack was not inferior to the combined power of two main offensive profundities at all. In fact, this attack might be even stronger!
Buzz!
After breaching the Defense Profundity, the grey sword ray met with the layer of crystal from the Crystal Barrier Profundity. As a few fine cracks appeared on the crystal, the golden flame finally vanished. The powers that the Chaos Divine Flame and the Profound Divine Metal had released had been exhausted. All that remained was the power from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
History repeated itself; the scene from their previous battle was reenacted. Heng Feng’s crystal barrier was about to be destroyed, and his Rock Style Profundity was rendered useless.
The grey sword ray left a shallow cut on Heng Feng’s body before Duan Ling Tian teleported it away to spare Heng Feng’s life.
Wan Qing Qing’s eyes widened imperceptibly as she watched this scene unfold. Her expression remained frosty, but her eyes lit up as she thought to herself, ‘Such a formidable attack… Even those in the top six aren’t capable of something like this, right? If I work with him, I don’t have to fear encountering them at all…’
