A thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind.

It took you less than two years to break through to the Early Divine Saint Stage from the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage. Moreover, you’ve become a Devil Cultivator… Zhao Ji, don’t tell me you’ve cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique?
Duan Ling Tian asked scornfully as he looked at Zhao Ji.
Upon hearing his words, the Devil Qi that surged from Zhao Ji’s body suddenly stopped for a moment. After a while, as though he had decided not to conceal this fact, he replied bluntly,
So what if I did?


So that’s the case!
Duan Ling Tian was shocked when Zhao Ji confirmed his suspicion. After all, he had only casually asked that question.
After all, the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land was so vast and contained all kinds of wonders. It would not be strange if he had a fortuitous encounter.


However, Zhao Ji had, in a way, admitted that he had been cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique!

Since you’re going to die today, it doesn’t matter even if I tell you about it! I was the one who arranged the meeting between Xu Jing and Zhu Lu Qi, the former Palace Master of Heaven Palace. Zhu Lu Qi isn’t the only one cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, I’m cultivating it as well.
In Zhao Ji’s opinion, Duan Ling Tian was definitely going to die today so he spoke without holding back since he was not worried of words getting out.

I see.
Duan Ling Tian managed to piece the puzzle together after hearing Zhao Ji’s explanation.
Then, does this mean the commotion in the remote areas in the west, and the young women whose vital energies and blood were absorbed were not done by Palace Master Zhu alone?


Exactly! It’s Zhu Lu Qi and me who turned those young women into dried corpses. However, unlike Zhu Lu Qi who refuses to touch virgins, I love virgins the most. Due to their vital energies and blood, my cultivation base had risen so quickly!
When Zhao Ji reached the end of his sentence, he licked his dry lips with a longing expression. A hungry and wolf-like look gleamed in his eyes.

You beast!
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grave.
Aren’t you afraid of becoming the public enemy by cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique?


The public’s enemy is Zhu Lu Qi! As for me, I’m just someone lucky enough to receive the Inheritance from a Prehistoric Devil Beast.
Zhao Ji smiled proudly.

Aren’t you worried I’ll spread this out?
Duan Ling Tian asked as his eyes gleamed coldly.

Spread it out? Well, first, we’ll have to see if you’ll be able to survive today!
Zhao Ji smiled disdainfully.
Ling Tian, your innate talent is indeed high! If you continue to grow stronger, you might become a legend when you head to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Unfortunately, you made me your enemy. This is all your doing!
Zhao Ji said confidently. It was as though he was certain he had Duan Ling Tian grasped in his palm.

You want me dead? We’ll have to see if you’re capable of killing me!
Duan Ling Tian replied coldly as his eyes narrowed when he saw Zhao Ji shamelessly boasting.

Don’t worry. I’ve already said I’m not in a hurry to kill you. I’ll take my time and torture you to death!
Zhao Ji’s tone turned colder and colder as the Devil Qi on his body surged even higher.


Without warning, as an earth-shattering sound of air explosion reverberated in the surroundings. Zhao Ji who was completely shrouded in Devil Qi seemed like a peerless evil God. In just a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Duan Ling Tian.
Boom!
A fist smashed out with the strength of a mountain at Duan Ling Tian. The attack felt as though Mount Taishan had collapsed on Duan Ling Tian, pressuring him.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
…
The sound of swords whistling in the air sounded as the golden sword rays formed a light shield around Duan Ling Tian’s body. It was the Colossal Sword Bell! Not only that, but most of the sword rays swept toward Zhao Ji’s fists that were surging with Devil Qi.

You’re just a mantis trying to stop a chariot! Die!
Zhao Ji shouted. The energy on his fists seemed to have risen even more as he easily destroyed Duan Ling Tian’s defense before he continued to attack him again.

How powerful!
At this instant, Duan Ling Tian experienced the might of an Early Divine Saint Stage powerhouse. It was not something that the current him could withstand.
At the very least, he was no match for Zhao Ji at all if he did not use the Jasper Celestial Sword and the Devilseal Tablet!
Bang!


Due to this, Duan Ling Tian chose to dodge Zhao Ji’s punch. Although he was fast, Zhao Ji’s punch was even faster.
Bang!
Although Zhao Ji’s punch did not land on Duan Ling Tian, it landed on the Jasper Celestial Sword that rose to the surface of his body.
At this instant, the Colossal Sword Bell shattered into thousands of pieces.
Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, affected when the Colossal Sword Bell shattered. Coupled with the lingering force from Zhao Ji’s punch, he was sent flying. He flew out like an arrow that had left the bowstring and only came to a halt with great difficulties after he had flown hundreds of meters away. His vital energy and blood were in turmoil, and he had injured his internal organs as well.
It was also fortunate he had a powerful body. If it was an ordinary Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, he would have suffered more than a minor injury from Zhao Ji’s powerful punch.

Huh?
When Zhao Ji discovered that Duan Ling Tian had only suffered minor injuries, he was shocked.
Although his punch did not land directly on Duan Ling Tian, the energy in the wake of the punch that swept Duan Ling Tian away was not weak at all.
Duan Ling Tian should have been dead, if not heavily injured.
Based on the current situation, his punch only managed to cause some minor injuries to Duan Ling Tian.



Well, this is good as well. This way I can play a little longer!
Zhao Ji chuckled smugly. It was apparent he was certain of his victory.

Ling Tian, is that all you have? How disappointing!
Zhao Ji did not forget to provoke Duan Ling Tian with his words. His eyes were filled with arrogance.

Zhao Ji.
Faced with Zhao Ji’s provocation, Duan Ling Tian who caught his breath remained calm. He said,
Since you’re so honest and revealed everything to me, I think I should be honest as well. It’s not fair if I keep too many secrets from you!
When Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he raised his hand and took out a stone tablet under Zhao Ji’s watchful eyes.
This stone tablet lacked a corner but it was densely carved with many words. These words were hard to understand, and Duan Ling Tian did not know nor understand them at all.
At this moment, the stone tablet was trembling violently in Duan Ling Tian’s hand as though it was trying to free itself from Duan Ling Tian’s grip!

This is…
Zhao Ji had no idea why, but when Duan Ling Tian took out the stone tablet that lacked a corner, fear rose up in his heart. He felt uneasy, but he did not reveal it in front of Duan Ling Tian.
However, Zhao Ji’s attention quickly shifted to another place. He saw the muscles shifting on Duan Ling Tian’s face that he hated to the core before it transformed into another handsome face.
He looked familiar!
When he saw this handsome face, a thought appeared in his mind.
It seemed as though he had seen this face before. However, he could not recall it for a long time.



Ling Tian is just my name. My surname is actually Duan!
Duan Ling Tian’s voice resonated in Zhao Ji’s ears.
Ling Tian was only his name?
His surname was not Ling but Duan?
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Zhao Ji instinctively replied,
Why are you telling me th-…?
However, he stopped speaking suddenly as though he had just remembered something. His eyes widened, and a shocked expression appeared on his face. He muttered,
D-Duan Ling Tian? Duan Ling Tian? Isn’t that the person who’s rumored to possess the Devilseal Tablet? I remember now!

When Zhao Ji looked at Duan Ling Tian again, he finally remembered where he had seen this face.
This face is identical to the person on the portrait that was being spread around previously. The person on the portrait is Duan Ling Tian who’s rumored to possess the Devilseal Tablet! Y-You’re Duan Ling Tian?!

Now that Zhao Ji regained his senses, it seemed as though he had seen a ghost when he looked at Duan Ling Tian again.
Before Duan Ling Tian had time to respond, Zhao Ji’s eyes shifted to the stone tablet that lacked a corner in Duan Ling Tian’s hand as a terrifying thought rose in his mind. ‘He’s Duan Ling Tian… Then, don’t tell me this incomplete stone tablet is the Devilseal Tablet, one of the ten great Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking?!’
The Devilseal Tablet was one of the ten great Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking. Whoever obtained it would be able to kill Devil Cultivators a stage higher than himself.
‘He’s at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage so he can kill Devil Cultivators at the Divine Saint Stage and below using the Devilseal Tablet!’ The moment Zhao Ji thought of this, his eyes widened in fear. He was so scared it felt as though his heart was about to leap out of his chest.
He felt as though God had pulled a prank on him!
He cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, and his cultivation base had finally entered the Divine Saint Stage and surpassed Ling Tian whom he hated to the core!
However, when he was so close to getting the revenge he wanted, the person he hated actually brought out a Super Saint Weapon. Moreover, it was the Devilseal Tablet!

Could it be that Duan Ling Tian is sent by God to suppress me?
Zhao Ji’s heart was filled with rage and humiliation. At this instant, he lamented the fact that the person before him would always outshine him in every way!
Duan Ling Tian knew Zhao Ji recognized the Devilseal Tablet when he saw expressions after expressions flitted across Zhao Ji’s face. In the end, he settled on a grim expression as he stared at the stone tablet.

What? You recognize this? Why aren’t you talking anymore? Didn’t you say earlier that you’re going to slowly torture me to death? Didn’t you say you want to cut me into a thousand pieces?
Duan Ling Tian mocked him with a sneer.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian took out the Devilseal Tablet and revealed his identity, the situation took a complete 180-degree turn!
Zhao Ji who originally had the upper hand had fear written on his face while Duan Ling Tian who was injured by Zhao Ji earlier had now gained the upper hand!
