The members of the dragon clan, including the two Supreme Elders, gasped as soon as they regained their senses. They had personally witnessed their patriarch who had reverted to his true form that was hundreds of thousands of meters long disappear after being squashed by the gigantic palm. They knew that not only was their patriarch dead, but his soul had been destroyed as well. They were shivering in fear at this moment. Their patriarch was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he should be even stronger after he had reverted to his true form. However, the young woman had killed him so effortlessly.
One of the Supreme Elders from the dragon clan looked at the beautiful woman who was hovering in the air as he muttered to himself in fear, "Is she really a Celestial from a Devata Realm just like Lord Patriarch had said?"
The other Supreme Elder smiled bitterly as he said, "Apart from a Celestial from a Devata Realm, do you think anyone in the mundane realm is capable of killing Lord Patriarch with just a palm strike? She had squashed him to death!"
If the two Supreme Elders did not witness their patriarch, a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, being squashed to death in such an effortless manner, they would have a hard time believing it. It was not just them, who would believe this unless they personally witnessed it?
At this moment, the members of the dragon clan looked at Ke'er in terror as they discussed furtively among themselves.
"Is she really Duan Ling Tian's wife?"
"His wife is so strong?!"
"That's not the main point. The main point is his wife is a Celestial from a Devata Realm! Is it possible that his strength has something to do with her?"
"Well, that's possible!"
At this moment, no one doubted that Ke'er was a Celestial from a Devata Realm. Moreover, she had to be a strong Celestial to be able to easily squash a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial to death. They also began to doubt that Duan Ling Tian had gained his strength from the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. They thought it was more likely that his wife had helped him.
Meanwhile, it took a long time for Duan Ling Tian to accept the fact that his wife had just effortlessly squashed a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial to death.
On the other hand, Ke'er's expression was calm as she looked at the people in the surroundings and asked, "Brother Tian, they..."
The members of the dragon clan's expressions changed greatly when they noticed Ke'er's eyes on them as though they were about to die.
"Didn't Duan Lingtian say that he wouldn't kill us?"
"Earlier, he had said he would spare us since Lord Patriarch didn't go back on his words. Is he changing his mind?"
"Is he going to take this chance and annihilate the dragon clan?"
Everyone, including the two Supreme Elders from the dragon clan, was frightened out of their wits at this moment. They were afraid this couple would kill all of them. Let alone both of them, even if only one of them attacked, killing them was as easy as killing ants. Now that the patriarch had died, the strongest people in the clan were the two Supreme Elders who were only Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials.
At this moment, all of them stared at Duan Ling Tian anxiously. They knew his wife would only listen to him. If he said he wanted them dead, there was no doubt that she would not hesitate to kill all of them.
"If I were to have a wife like this, I wouldn't even mind if I only have one or two years to live."
"What did Duan Ling Tian do to deserve a wife like this?!"
"I still can't believe Duan Ling Tian's wife is a Celestial!"
Amidst the fear in their hearts, the male members of the dragon clan also felt envious and jealous of Duan Ling Tian. They thought he was extremely lucky to have a wife like Ke'er.
Duan Ling Tian knew Ke'er was asking if she should kill everyone. "There's no need to worry about them. There's nothing they can do now. Let's return!" As soon as he finished speaking, both he and Ke'er disappeared from everyone's sight.
After they left, the members of the dragon clan were still staring at the sky in a daze. After a while, they sighed in relief. They discovered their robes were drenched with sweat.
"Duan Ling Tian is really terrifying!"
"I think his wife is even more terrifying!"
"With both of them around, the Seven Absolutes Sect can do as they please, and no one in the mundane realm would be able to do anything or say anything about it."
Fear rose in their hearts again when they spoke about Duan Ling Tian and Ke'er.
"No wonder Duan Ling Tian doesn't see a need to work with our patriarch to deal with the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans and drive them back to the Land of Exile!"
"He doesn't even need to lift a finger. His wife is capable of that feat all on her own!"
After witnessing Ke'er's strength, the members of the dragon clan thought that the Devil Clans' future looked really bleak at this moment.
Someone said enviously, "The Seven Absolute Sect is going to rise to the top!"
Since Duan Ling Tian was the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolute Sect, his wife would, naturally, be a part of the sect as well. If both of them drove the Devil Clans back to the Land of Exile or killed all of them, they would be considered as the saviors of the realm. Moreover, they would also bring glory to their sect. At that time, there was no doubt that the sect would become the most powerful and influential sect in the Saint Province Realm.
…
Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of those people's thoughts. At this moment, he and Ke'er were traveling back to the northern region where the temporary estate of the Seven Absolutes Sect was located.
During their journey, Duan Ling Tian could not help but ask, "Ke'er, it seems like you've gotten stronger?"
Ke'er nodded gently. "Yes, it seems like it has increased a little."
Duan Ling Tian could tell the technique Ke'er had just used was much stronger than the technique she had used to kill a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial when they were still in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. He asked solemnly, "Are there any side effects?" He was worried that her gaining so much strength would be detrimental to her.
"No." Ke'er shook her head gently as she smiled at Duan Ling Tian affectionately.
"That's good." Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief. After a while, he said, "When we return, let's head back to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to look for father and mother. After we find them, we'll deal with the Devil Clans and send them back to the Land of Exile!"
Ke'er smiled and said, "I'll do whatever you want!"
Duan Ling Tian smiled as he reached out to touch Ke'er's head. He was extremely gentle.
...
With Duan Ling Tian and Ke'er's speed, it did not take long before they arrived on the snow-capped mountain in the northern region. After spending a few days there, they decided to leave for the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Ke'er asked, "Brother Tian, do you think Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold are alright?" She was worried that the three little ones did not survive the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. She had found out previously that the three little ones had entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. However, after leaving the secret zone for such a long time, she still did not see those three. How could she not feel worried?
Although Duan Lingtian was also slightly concerned about this matter, he hid his concern since he had to reassure his wife. "Didn't you hear that they have gotten stronger? Moreover, it seems like they're not any weaker than Bodiless Celestials!"
