"Brother Ling Tian, where should we go now?" Huan'er asked as she blinked her beautiful eyes. She looked even more curious compared to before.

"We can go wherever you want. Although Brother Pei said that danger lurks everywhere in here, and it's hard to stay alive here, that only applies to those who are weaker than Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. There's no need for us to worry," Duan Ling Tian said with a glint in his eyes.

However, it did not take long before a sigh escaped from Duan Ling Tian's lips. Initially, he had been relieved when the three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland decided to send nine people into the Little World first to serve as scouts. With this, at least, the remaining Violet Sun Golden Celestials could be saved. However, he did not expect the nine people who were first sent in would survive after a month. With this, he knew the young Violet Sun Golden Celestials would not be able to escape their impending deaths! Naturally, he wanted to tell the Sect Leaders of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland about how deadly the Little World was, not even a Great Overarching Golden Celestial would be able to survive there. However, he knew no one would believe him. On the contrary, they would think he was exaggerating so he could claim more treasures for himself. He could reveal to everyone the reason he would be safe in the Little World was due to Huan'er's protection since she was an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial under the age of 100. Even there, there was still a chance that they might not believe him. Moreover, that would put Huan'er in danger. For all these reasons, he simply said nothing and watched as the event unfolds. There was nothing else he could.

The only thing Duan Ling Tian could do now was to survive with Huan'er and help the mysterious young man with the surname Pei find the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring, and see if he would be lucky enough to encounter treasures and Chance Inheritances along the way.

Finally, Duan Ling Tian looked at Huan'er and asked, "Huan'er, which way do you think we should go?"

"Brother Ling Tian, I don't know." Huan'er shook her head.

"It's fine. Pick whichever direction you like," Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.

"Then… let's go this way." Huan'er pointed straight ahead.

"Alright, we'll go this way then." Duan Ling Tian nodded and began to move in the direction that Huan'er had chosen.

They moved in the air, causing a disturbance in the clouds.

After about 15 minutes…

"Hm?" Huan'er suddenly came to a halt as though she had sensed something.

"What's wrong, Huan'er?" Duan Ling Tian stopped moving as well and looked at Huan'er in confusion. However, before she responded, he lifted his head and stared ahead. He could sense something was amiss.

In just an instant…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A thunderous noise rang in the distance.

Duan Ling Tian saw a flock of birds take flight under the cover of the clouds. The strange thing was each bird was the size of a hill. With hundreds of them, it seemed as though they had covered the entire sky.

"What celestial beast is this?" The birds resembled eagles and had blood-red eyes.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Their wings sliced through the air like blades as saber rays shot toward Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er. Their sharp and gleaming claws seemed capable of tearing through anything!

Duan Ling Tian quickly investigated with his Divine Consciousness. 'These birds… Even the weakest among them has the cultivation base of a Yellow Sun Golden Celestial. The strongest ones are comparable to Blue Sun Golden Celestials. One would have to be a Violet Sun Golden Celestial, at least, to deal with them head-on.'

Swoosh!

Before Duan Ling Tian could even take action, a chilling aura surged out of Huan'er's body at lightning speed. It felt as though the entire world had frozen over at this moment. When he regained his senses, the deadly birds were all frozen dead by her aura.

Due to the momentum, the birds' corpses continued to move in the air. They only began to drop into the lake with plopping noises when they were less than 100 meters away from Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er. All the birds were killed in just a blink of an eye by Huan'er even though she did not move a muscle at all from the beginning until the end.

"Huan'er, next time when we encounter something, don't make a move unless I'm unable to deal with it. I haven't been able to test out my strength after my recent breakthrough," Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.

"I… I just don't Brother Ling Tian to be tired," Huan'er said timidly with a pout. When she saw Duan Ling Tian's expression, she thought he was displeased.

"Huan'er, you've misunderstood me. I'm not blaming you." When Duan Ling Tian saw tears brimming in her eyes, he, naturally, knew she thought he was blaming her. He hurriedly explained again, "I just want to test my strength. I'm not blaming you for protecting us."

"Really?" Huan'er asked as she stared at Duan Ling Tian with shining eyes.

"Of course." Duan Ling Tian nodded hurriedly.

Bang!

At this moment, another thunderous noise reverberated in the air. It seemed to have come from the lake below them.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of thunderous noises followed soon after.

"Hm?" Duan Ling Tian could easily sense a powerful aura from below. It was no weaker than the birds that Huan'er had killed.

Roar!

The mist and clouds below Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er's feet swirled before they finally dispersed, revealing many figures with the size of a mountain.

'These celestial beasts… Every one of them has the strength of an Indigo Sun Golden Celestial!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he studied the thirteen rising beasts, 'Even ordinary Violet Sun Golden Celestials wouldn't choose to face them head-on… As for those who are weaker, they'll undoubtedly die if they encounter these beasts. Who knew we would meet such powerful celestial beasts as soon as we enter the Little World?'

At this moment, the gigantic beasts below them with red eyes finally made a move.

Whoosh!

The wind stirred as Duan Ling Tian vanished from his spot.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A series of sword cries rang in the air. Blood splattered everywhere. In just an instant, the thirteen celestial beasts that resembled killer whales were riddled with wounds.

Whoosh!

In half a breath's time, Duan Ling Tian reappeared at where he stood earlier.

The thirteen gigantic beasts roared and howled before they took their last breaths and fell back into the lake. The sound of these beasts falling into the lake was much louder compared to the birds.

After killing the beasts, Duan Ling Tian called out, "Huan'er, let's continue on our way."

It would have been easy for Duan Ling Tian to kill these celestial beasts before he became a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, let alone now that he had become an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Therefore, he did not think much of killing the celestial beasts.

…

Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland were still outside the entrance of the Little World.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

At this moment, all of their eyes were widened, and there was a drastic change in their expressions. It was due to the three crisp cracking sounds that had just sounded.

They watched as three of the nine Soul Pearls, which belonged to the nine Violet Sun Golden Celestials who were first sent in, shattered.

"That… The Soul Pearls belong to the three Violet Sun Golden Celestials below the age of 100 who had joined the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect after the Wasteland Grand Contest!" An elder from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect cried out.
