Chapter 2228 - 2228 The Final Push

2228 The Final Push 

As soon as Duan Ling Tian cried out…
Whoosh!
A huge Black Turtle silhouette appeared around Duan Ling Tian, protecting him. This technique was none other than the Fire Worship Sect’s strongest defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The sound of swords rang in the air, a solid sword qi appeared around Huang Wen Jing as she hovered in the air. A light shield formed from sword qi shrouded her. This was her defensive Divine Ability, the 10,000 Swords Defensive Body!


Almost immediately after Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing cast their defensive Divine Abilities…
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Waves and waves of powerful forces not unlike stormy waves crashed against their defensive shields.
Bang!
A loud noise from the collision of their shields and force rang in the air. Their shields shook violently looking as though they would collapse at any moment.

Such a powerful force!
This was only the first wave of the killing Formation. Both Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing’s eyes darkened with caution, and they both had a grim expression on their faces.
Bang!
Another deafening noise sounded in the air as the force collided with their shields again. The force was gradually getting stronger and stronger. Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing’s defensive shields were almost at their breaking points. It would only take one more wave of attack for their shields to completely collapse.

To my right.
Huang Wen Jing’s cold voice echoed in Duan Ling Tian’s ear.

Okay!
Duan Ling Tian replied and turned to the right and saw a wave of force rushing toward them. He quickly withdrew his arms.


Boom!
Duan Ling Tian lifted his hands and exerted all his Sun Saint Origin to the point that it was so strong that it seemed capable of toppling mountains and stirring up the sea.
Swoosh!
Two immensely strong forces swept out of Duan Ling Tian’s hands and merged together, forming an even stronger force. His power that was akin to a gigantic divine dragon collided with the destructive force.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Meanwhile, the sound of swords howling rang in the air again as Huang Wen Jing quickly made her move. Many swords flew out, shooting out sword qis, as it rushed toward the destructive force as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing’s attacks continuously smashed against the destructive force, the passage began to quake even more violently than before. Sounds of explosions rang thunderously in the passage. It seemed as though the passage was about to collapse.
After a short moment, the cacophonous sounds began to die down and the result of the clash also became apparent. The combined forces of Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing had successfully dealt with the first assault of the last trap.
Although the killing Formations in the passage were all one-time Formations, they were divided into three waves of attacks. Currently, Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing had only passed the first wave of the attacks. There were still two more attacks left. For this reason, both of them did not let down their guards and became even more vigilant.


It did not take long before the second wave of attack arrived. The second attack was different. It came in the form of tiny sharp forces similar to embroidery needles. It flew at them fiercely, seeming as though they were able to pierce through anything.
At this time, both Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing were fully focused on dealing with the attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The force that was as sharp as embroidery needles attacked them relentlessly and managed to penetrate their shields. It continued its onslaught on both of them. Both of them were momentarily taken aback by this turn of events.
In actuality, this force was not much stronger than the previous one. What made this attack different from the previous attack that was similar to waves from a tempestuous sea was the tiny needle-like attacks that could pierce through anything.
Although they were momentarily discombobulated, they quickly snapped back to their senses and defended against the second attack with much difficulty.
Thank goodness I agreed to join forces. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to deal with this wave of attack!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after they successfully defended against the second attack. He sighed in relief.
Duan Ling Tian could still defend against the first attack without Huang Wen Jing’s help if he unleashed all his strength. However, he was not certain he would be able to defend against the second attack without her help.
Both Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing were relieved the second attack was over. At the same time, they turned and met each other’s eyes.
Currently, Huang Wen Jing’s impression of Duan Ling Tian had changed drastically. Earlier, she still felt a hint of dissatisfaction toward him, thinking that it was pure luck that he managed to discover her weakness and defeat her. However, after observing him during the second attack, she became deeply aware of the gap between their strength. There were no longer any doubts in her mind that he was much stronger than her.



Get ready… The third wave is coming soon!
When Duan Ling Tian saw Huang Wen Jing staring at him, he could not help but remind her out of anxiety. His tone was urgent. If any of them lost their focus at this moment, they would definitely die!
When Huang Wen Jing heard Duan Ling Tian’s reminder, she regained her senses and became energized. She stood ready in a combat stance as she waited for the third wave of attack from the killing Formation.
The third wave of attack would be the last of the attacks from the killing Formation. As long as they could defend against the last attack, they would be able to leave this passage and arrive at their destination. At that time, they would be able to retrieve the treasures from the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master!
It’s possible that a space with a slower time flow similar to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is located at the end of the passage!’ Duan Ling Tian became excited again as he thought about this while he waited for the third attack.
On the other hand, Huang Wen Jing was, naturally, unaware of time distortion and the likes of it. She was only curious and longed to see what kind of treasures the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master left behind. Whatever they were, she knew they had to be valuable.
Rawrrrrr!
Suddenly, a fierce roar of a beast could be heard in the distance. It echoed endlessly in the narrow passage. The roar vibrated in their ears, making them feel suppressed.
Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing’s expressions darkened immediately.
Dong!
A loud drum-like sound reverberated in the air, jolting Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing who were both fully focused. Their expressions turned somber as their hearts thumped wildly in their chests.


Dong! Dong!
In the next moment, two drum-like sounds reverberated in the air again, causing them to jump again. However, they were prepared for it this time so they were not as shocked as they were earlier.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
The sounds of drum continued to ring in the air as many black dots appeared in Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing’s visions. As they approached, the black dots grew larger and larger. After a while, both of them finally discovered what the black dots were. It was all kinds of fierce monsters in bizarre shapes. Their bodies reeked of Devil Qi. It added to the monsters’ frightening auras.
Rawrrrr!
As the bizarre-looking and ferocious monster charged at them, they roared and howled. Their roaring and howling caused pain to their eardrums.

Let’s go!
Duan Ling Tian shouted as he charged at the incoming danger. The Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword in his hand shot out a long and narrow sword qi. It was swift and looked as though it was sharp enough to pierce through anything.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian was using all his techniques without holding back. If he did not do so, he would only die. Elementary Devouring Tactic!
Black Turtle’s Barrier!
Golden Crow Wings!
Otherworldly Celestial!
Duan Ling Tian cast all four of his Divine Abilities. When he made his move, the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword flew out of his hand as he used the third stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword.
At some point, scales like those that belonged to divine dragons began to cover Duan Ling Tian’s body. His hands and feet were similar to a divine dragon’s. There were nine claws on each of his hands and legs. They were similar to that of a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon.

A Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior!?

When Duan Ling Tian took the lead and charged toward the monsters, Huang Wen Jing saw his transformation. Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief when she saw him.
As it turns out, Duan Ling Tian is a legendary Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior?’ Huang Wen Jing, as a disciple of the Human-Devil Clan’s Wandering Saint Palace of the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards, was a human. In the Dao Martial
Saint Land, she would be regarded as a Devil Cultivator. She was very interested in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Previously, she had used the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on some powerhouses from the Devil Clans with weaker cultivation bases to learn about the Dao Martial Saint Land. Among the things she had learned was the Nine-clawed Divine Dragons and Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.
As it turns out, he didn’t even use all his strength during the second attack!’ When Huang Wen Jing thought of this, she could not help but feel slightly aggrieved.

Why are you standing there idly for!? Let’s move!
Although Duan Ling Tian did not turn around, he knew Huang Wen Jing was stunned into inaction by his transformation. When he rushed forward to kill one of the monsters, he shouted loudly to snap Huang Wen Jing out from her daze.
Huang Wen Jing quickly snapped back to her senses and joined Duan Ling Tian in his attack. However, due to her sudden inaction for just a moment, she was quickly surrounded by a group of monsters while she was halfway through to the passage.
