The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ling Tian, was at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage?
What a joke!
With the strength Duan Ling Tian displayed earlier, it would be strange if he was really an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator!

Damn it! We’ve been deceived!
Di Shan’s expression was extremely grave. He had calculated meticulously, but this scenario did not cross his mind at all.
Duan Ling Tian’s true strength was equivalent to a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Stage even though his cultivation base was at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage when he probed him earlier!


Not only that, but based on his observation, the strength and aura surging out of Duan Ling Tian’s body were no different from a powerhouse at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage. For this reason, he was certain that Duan Ling Tian’s true cultivation base was at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage!
As for the reason why Duan Ling Tian’s strength was equivalent to a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage, this was because he had comprehended two Divine Abilities!
As the Clan Leader of the dragon clan, Di Shan, naturally, could tell the two Divine Abilities Duan Ling Tian mastered were extraordinary!
Put aside the extremely amazing movement Divine Ability that he cast in the beginning, even the sword-type Divine Ability that he cast after that was not something the saber-type Divine Ability, the Gigantesque Wallop, that Di Jue mastered could compare to in terms of grade.
The Gigantesque Wallop that Di Jue comprehended could also be considered as a powerful Divine Ability among all medium-grade Divine Abilities. This was why he was certain the sword-type Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian cultivated was a high-grade Divine Ability!

He’s so young yet he has already mastered two high-grade Divine Abilities. The sword-type Divine Ability is still acceptable since it’s only at the Rudiment Stage, but the first movement Divine Ability is far stronger than the Rudiment Stage!
Di Shan’s heart jolted. He was baffled.

On top of that, he must have mastered some secret tactic that could conceal his cultivation base. Otherwise, his cultivation base would have been exposed under my Divine Consciousness!
Di Shan speculated.
Di Shan’s speculation was similar to the speculation of most people present on the scene.

Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage? Impossible! Based on the strength the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion displayed earlier, he must be at the Divine Saint Stage at least!


I can’t believe that in the Azure Cloud Mansion, not only the Mansion Master has a heaven-defying innate talent and strength, but even the Young Mansion Master is as monstrously talented. With this Young Mansion Master, I think the Azure Cloud Mansion would be able to retain their glory for several hundred years!




Don’t speak so fast! We still don’t know whether he’d be able to survive the Death Duel with Di Jue!


You have a point!

The spectators from the other quasi third-rate forces buried their heads together and discussed among themselves. Their eyes never left Duan Ling Tian and Di Jue who were still stuck in a stalemate.

I can’t believe he actually concealed his power!
Qing Yan’s expression was grave.
Now that he thought about it, Duan Ling Tian must have intentionally probed him that day with his Eminent Saint Stage Divine Consciousness to mislead them so that Di Jue would be careless during the battle with him.
Naturally, this was all just Qing Yan’s speculation. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was plausible.
Qing Yan was not the only one. Even the dragon clan’s Enforcement Elder, Xue Chan, and the Five-clawed Divine Dragon, Elder Zhi Jing, had a grave expression as well.

Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base is at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage! Didn’t Di Jue say he was only a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator five years ago?
Zhi Jing asked in a low voice.

Don’t forget that his father is Duan Ru Feng!
A hint of dread flashed across Xue Chan’s eyes.
Duan Ru Feng!


Upon hearing this name, even Zhi Jing fell silent.
When she recalled Duan Ru Feng’s achievements in the past, it was no longer a surprise that his son was so outstanding.

I’m n-not dreaming, right?
Gu Li watched Duan Ling Tian from afar with his mouth agape.
He had actually gained the upper hand when he clashed with Di Jue whose cultivation base was at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage? W-Was he really his Junior Brother Ling Tian?!
All this while, although Gu Li knew Duan Ling Tian was strong, he did not expect his junior brother to be even more powerful than him! At the very least, he did not think he would fare this well if he was the one facing Di Jue. In fact, he would most likely be killed by Di Jue in just one blow!

Young Mansion Master!
Ku Mi’s eyes lit up. A rare smile that looked even uglier than a crying face appeared on his skinny face.

Tian’er is actually so strong? Not only that, but the Divine Ability he used earlier…
Duan Ru Feng stared at Duan Ling Tian in confusion. At this moment, he felt as though his son was a stranger to him. He felt as though he didn’t know him at all.
‘No wonder Senior Prophet told me to make this five-year pact with the dragon clan… He really has confidence in Tian’er!’ The moment Duan Ru Feng thought about this, he felt his heart was slightly more at ease.
Based on the strength Duan Ling Tian had demonstrated earlier, it might not be enough to defeat Di Jue, but it would not be impossible for him to protect himself.

How’s this possible?!




The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion’s son is actually so strong?
The two Deputy Leaders of Mountainshade Black Market, Feng Bu Yi and Zhong Qi Shan, looked at each other in disbelief.
Dugu looked at Duan Ling Tian from afar and muttered to himself,
Interesting! Duan Ru Feng’s son is indeed not inferior to him!
He was the calmest person on the scene.
As time passed by, the noise gradually began to die down until it was completely silent. One could even hear the sound of the blowing breeze.
Di Jue spoke first after being locked in a stalemate. He looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly and said in a terrifying voice,
Duan Ling Tian, I can’t believe your strength has risen to such heights in the five years that we’ve not seen each other. However, if you think that you can kill me with your strength, I can only tell you that you’re daydreaming!


Daydreaming?
Duan Ling Tian laughed heartily. It was filled with disdain.

What? You don’t believe me?
Di Jue’s heart surged with anger when he saw the disdainful smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face.
Don’t worry! I’ll instantly show you that your feeble strength is nothing in my eyes! Even if you’re already a Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, it’ll still be easy to kill you like killing an ant!

The moment his words left his mouth, he made his move. It seemed as though he had transformed into a bolt of lightning as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian.
This time, he did not hold back. His energy at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage surged out without restraint. His speed was much faster than it was before.
A vast energy covered the surface of his body. It was as though flames had ignited on his body.
Whoosh!


The sound of wind howling and deafening explosion sounded in his wake.

Gigantesque Wallop!
As he moved at lightning speed, the heavy and wide Ten Inscription Saint Saber in his hand began to move as well.
His attack that contained martial tactics along with the medium-grade saber-type Divine Ability that he comprehended charged in the direction of Duan Ling Tian’s head again. It was obvious he was trying to slice him into two.
Swish!
It was the same saber, but it seemed completely different when compared to the previous slash that lacked power.
The saber fell from the sky like a bolt of lightning as though it could cut the sky into two.
The menacing saber did not show any mercy, just like the Grim Reaper’s scythe. It was aiming for Duan Ling Tian’s life!
At this moment, Di Jue was finally using all his strength at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage!

Elementary Devouring Tactic!
As soon as Di Jue began to make his move and charge at him with a murderous gleam in his eyes, Duan Ling Tian cast the high-grade Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic.
In just a second, ripples began to appear in within 10-meter radius around him. It was as though he was standing in the heart of the whirlpool.
When Duan Ling Tian cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic, a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the within the 10-meter radius rapidly surged into his body and fused with his Sun True Origin after being absorbed by the whirlpool!
The Sun True Origin was also quickly getting more and more powerful.
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in within 10-meter radius of Duan Ling Tian could be considered as very rich. It would help raise the Sun True Origin in Duan Ling Tian’s body a stage higher.
However, it was too time-consuming to cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic and absorb all the positive energy from the surroundings.
Whoosh!
When Duan Ling Tian had only managed to absorb a fraction of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in within a 10-meter radius, Di Jue’s saber was already slashing down at his head, ready to cut him into two.

Hurmph!
Faced with Di Jue’s attack, Duan Ling Tian snorted disdainfully. At this moment, he stopped absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surrounding. Instead, with just a flick of his hand, he wielded his sword and clashed with Di Jue.
Meanwhile, the Sun True Origin in his body that had been greatly strengthened surged out suddenly through his 99 Saint Veins and was infused into the Ten Inscription Saint Sword in his hand that he used to block Di Jue’s Ten Inscription Saint Saber that was crashing down.
‘Otherworldly Celestial!’ With just a thought, Duan Ling Tian once again produced two clones that rose up into the air with him.
The swords in their hands were like poisonous snakes that charged out fiercely toward the saber ray that shot out from the Ten Inscription Saint Saber in Di Jue’s hand.
Whoosh!
One of the swords from the clone clashed with the saber ray, causing it to dim a little. However, the clone was destroyed as well.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian’s true body and the remaining clone charged out in unison. The two swords flicked out and the Sun True Origin that was greatly elevated by the Elementary Devouring Tactic surged out with all its might.
Rumble!
Rumble!
A loud explosion sounded in the air, both Duan Ling Tian and Di Jue retreated into the distance in unison.
As for the saber ray that was shot out from the saber in Di Jue’s hand, it had destroyed the other clone.
Barf!
Both of their bodies swayed at the same time as they threw up a mouthful of blood. Both of their faces were slightly pale as well.

Impossible! I’ve exerted all my strength, and I only manage to come to a draw with him?
Horror dawned on Di Jue’s pale face.
The crowd had not even regained their senses.
This outcome was something that did not cross his mind at all.
The young man whom he hated to the core and was so eager to kill was actually so strong that he managed to draw with him after only five years?
It felt as though that incident had taken place a lifetime ago.
