Chapter 2258 - 2258 The Comprehension of Heaven and Earth

2258 The Comprehension of Heaven and Earth  

Duan Ling Tian’s attack was swift and brutal but he still could not pierce the joint defense of the three Great Guardian Warriors.

It’s just as I’ve expected.
Duan Ling Tian sighed. Although he had expected this, he could not help but feel disappointed. He had already unleashed all his power, but he still could not shatter the three Great Guardian Warriors’ defense.
Although my Sun Saint Origin is comparable to a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, it’s still different compared to the Saint Origin of someone who has broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. The full power of my Sun Saint Origin is slightly shy of reaching the full power of a cultivator at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

In fact, Duan Ling Tian had discovered earlier that his Sun Saint Origin was not exactly at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage when he tested it.
When a powerhouse at the Eight Form of the Saint Celestial Stage broke through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, not only would his or her Saint Origin become stronger, but he or she would slowly gain comprehension of heaven and earth. This was something important. It was one of the reasons why the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was also known as the Celestial Ascension Form.
Most people only knew the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was known as the Celestial Ascension Form because one had to go through the Heavenly Tribulation. However, this was not the only reason. It was also known as the Celestial Ascension Form because of one’s comprehension of heaven and earth. One needed to comprehend heaven and earth to a certain level to bring about the Heavenly Tribulation or the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Otherwise, the Heavenly Tribulation would not come even if one’s Saint Origin had reached the threshold. As a consequence, one would not be able to become an Eminent Celestial without passing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.


When one deepened one’s comprehension of heaven and earth at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, one would be able to better manipulate one’s Saint Origin for other purposes apart from using it for martial tactics and Divine Abilities.
This was the reason why the Saint Origin of a cultivator at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Origin that had been raised to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial by the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, was different.

During the battle between Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, and Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, I remember that Tang Xuan’s Saint Origin hasn’t reached its limit. Moreover, his martial tactics and Divine Abilities aren’t stronger than mine. However, he’s a lot stronger than me even after I’ve unleashed all my power. This is because his manipulation of his Saint Origin is better since he has a better comprehension of heaven and earth…

Duan Ling Tian still vividly remembered the battle between Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin! That was why he was deeply aware of the gap between his strength and Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin’s strength.
If my cultivation base is at the Ninth Form of the Celestial Stage instead of the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, I would be able to break their defense easily with just a slight comprehension of heaven and earth…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh as when he looked at the light shield that was formed by the three Great Guardian Warriors.
Duan Ling Tian found it unfortunate that only cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage were able to comprehend heaven and earth. There was nothing he could do about this.

Hey, Human-Devil! You better do everything you can while your assist-type Divine Ability is still in effect. You might not be able to withstand our attack after this!
One of the three Great Guardian Warriors sneered.

I can’t believe you’re from the Human-Devil clan…I think nobody, not even Xing Yuan Ba, the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, has an attack as strong as your earlier attack!


Unfortunately, even if you’re stronger than Xing Yuan Ba, you’re still going to die here today!

The other two Great Guardian Warriors chimed in mockingly as well.


Even with Duan Ling Tian’s strongest attack, their defensive light shield that was formed from Devil Qis only became slightly dimmer. It was obvious that his attack did not do much to the light shield.
Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes when he heard the three Great Guardian Warriors’ words. A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

It seems like three of you think that you’ve got me in the palms of your hands…
Duan Ling Tian said slowly. It seemed as though he was not affected by their words of mockery.
Duan Ling Tian’s calmness momentarily surprised the three Great Guardian Warriors. When they regained their senses, they scoffed.

Are you trying to be mysterious?


Do you think you can scare us with your words?


What a joke!

The three Great Guardian Warriors said disdainfully.

Your plan’s pretty good； Duan Ling Tian said flatly,
If I continue attacking with all my might, there’s a chance I’ll be able to shatter your defense after a while. However, at that time, the effect from my assist-type Divine Ability would most likely be gone, and my Saint Origin would return to its original level. It seems like there’s one thing you didn’t consider. With my current Saint Origin, if I escape, will you be able to catch me?
His last sentence was said mockingly.
Duan Ling Tian’s words startled the three Great Guardian Warriors. Indeed. They did not think about this. Their defense and offense were extremely strong when they joined forces, but their speed was their weak point. If Duan Ling Tian really decided to flee, there was nothing they could do to stop him.



Coward! Human-Devils are indeed cowards!


Hey, Human-Devil! Do you intend on embarrassing the Human-Devil clan? I can’t believe you intend on escaping!

What a wimp!

The three Great Guardian Warriors were honestly worried Duan Ling Tian would escape so they intentionally provoked him in hopes that he would stay and fight. Let alone kill, if he decided to flee, they would not be able to catch him at all.
Duan Ling Tian scoffed. How could he possibly not see through their thoughts?
There’s no need for you to provoke me. Although I can escape, I won’t… After all, I don’t think three of you are a match for me at all!

The three Great Guardian Warriors were shocked. They did not know where Duan Ling Tian’s confidence came from.

I can’t deny that the joint defense by three of you is so strong that even ordinary cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage wouldn’t be able to destroy it in a short time…
Duan Ling Tian continued to speak before the three Great Guardian Warriors recovered from their shock,
However, it’s unfortunate your opponent today is me!
When he finished speaking, a tablet with a missing corner appeared in one of his hands. Apart from ancient and sophisticated patterns on it, the tablet, for the most part, looked simple.
All of a sudden…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The tablet suddenly emitted a dense and rich Devil Qi. The Devil Qi surged to the sky as though it could pierce through heaven. This happened because Duan Ling Tian was sending his Sun Saint Origin into the tablet.
I didn’t know the Devilseal Tablet would have such a reaction when I sent my Sun Saint Origin that has been raised to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage into it… It seems like I’ll be able to break those three’s defenses!’ Duan Ling Tian was shocked and delighted by the tablet’s reaction.


Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see bolts of violet lightning in the Devil Qi that was surging out of the Devilseal Tablet like violet dragons. Moreover, the Devil Qi emitted an ancient aura.
The tablet with a missing corner that Duan Ling Tian held in his hand was none other than the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet!
When the three Great Guardian Warriors saw the tablet emitting Devil Qi, they became worried. An ominous feeling rose in their hearts when they felt the aura from the tablet that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth!
