Chapter 2314 - The Situation Turned Around

Chapter 2314 The Situation Turned Around 

Neither Yuwen Hao Chen and Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace and Great Spirit Palace respectively, knew the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan had arrived so quickly because he was already here for a long time.
It was only natural that Yuwen Hao Chen and the others who were beneath the Tribulation Clouds were unaware that their patriarch was hiding above the Tribulation Clouds, observing the situation.
Apart from Duan Ling Tian, Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan, everyone, including Peng Lai, cried out in unison when they heard Yuwen Hao Chen and Shi Nan Feng’s words,
Lord Patriarch!
They bowed at the green-clad middle-aged man.
Apart from Yuwen Hao Chen and Shi Nan Feng, almost everyone on the scene hardly ever saw their patriarch. If the two palace masters did not greet the green-clad middle-aged man, they might not even recognize him.

Lord Patriarch arrived so quickly!




His speed is really fast! He appeared so quickly as soon as the Violet Ray Bead was used!


Why do I feel like something is wrong? Won’t Lord Patriarch take some time to come over when he sees the light from the Violet Ray Bead? However, he appeared as soon as the Violet Ray Bead was used.

The crowd was in shock over the sudden appearance of their patriarch. After all, this was the first time for many of them to see the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, an Eminent Celestial.
…
At some point, Duan Ling Tian had stopped resting and opened his eyes. His gaze immediately landed on the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, studying him.
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was looking at Duan Ling Tian as well. He did not pay attention to Yuwen Hao Chen, Shi Nan Feng, and the others. Instead, he called out to Duan Ling Tian and said in a light tone,
I have to say you’re really lucky to be able to obtain a force from the Devata Realm that’s comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy and use it to your advantage!

A force from the Devata Realm that was comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy!
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard the words of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan. Naturally, he knew the patriarch was referring to the Sun Force in his body that was bestowed to him by the Three-legged Golden Crow, Elder Huo. Previously, Elder Huo had explained to him that the Sun Force was superior to all forces in the mundane realm and comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy. Up until then, no one knew about this. However, the patriarch managed to figure out how extraordinary the Sun Force was as soon as he appeared! Moreover, his guess was extremely accurate.

A force that comes from the Devata Realm and is comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy?

Yuwen Hao Chen, Shi Nan Feng, and the others were also shocked when they heard their patriarch’s words.



Did Lord Patriarch just say that Duan Ling Tian’s force is comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy?
Many people were skeptical. They thought they had heard wrongly. They looked at each other in confusion as they whispered among themselves.

The patriarch said the force that Duan Ling Tian possesses is comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy… Is he referring to the technique Duan Ling Tian cast earlier? In other words, the golden flaming bird is a force from the Devata Realm?
A Vice Palace Master of Crimson Blaze Palace blurted out.
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan’s next sentences indirectly confirmed the speculation of the Vice Palace Master of Crimson Blaze Palace.

I can see that the force that formed the bird isn’t something you obtained through cultivation. If I’m not mistaken, you must have had a fortuitous encounter…
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan looked at Duan Ling Tian calmly.
Based on the patriarch’s words, it seemed like he had completely figured Duan Ling Tian out. His knowing gaze made Duan Ling Tian feel naked.
Duan Ling Tian remained silent, but he felt a jolt of fear in his heart. ‘Is this the might of an Eminent Celestial? He’s even able to see through the Sun Force and find out that I obtain it not by cultivating, but by chance!

The Sun Force was given to Duan Ling Tian by the Three-legged Golden Crow, Elder Huo. Elder Huo had fused the Sun Force with his Saint Origin. Today was the first time the Sun Force had separated itself from his Saint Origin. For this reason, the force was depleted by half when it helped him overcome the 80th Tribulation Lightning. Since he did not obtain the force through cultivation, once it was depleted, he could no longer recover them.
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was not angry at Duan Ling Tian’s lack of response. Instead, he continued talking in a leisurely manner,
Earlier, that force that’s comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy formed a golden flaming bird and assisted you in overcoming the 80th lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation… However, half of that force has been depleted, am I right?

When Duan Ling Tian heard this, he could no longer keep calm. He felt a hint of panic begin to rise in his heart. He did not expect the patriarch would be able to see things so clearly. His eyes widened in fear as he looked at the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan. He felt vulnerable. ‘An Eminent Celestial is really terrifying!’
The Patriarch continued to say confidently,
If I’m not mistaken, it won’t be able to help you overcome the 81st lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation even if you cast all your techniques along with it.



Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened because the patriarch had poked at his sore point. This was exactly what he was worried about. The people present on the scene might think he would be able to overcome the 81st lightning bolt with ease similar to how he had overcome the 80th lightning bolt, but he knew his condition very well. Although the Sun Force had returned to his body, he knew it was not enough to help him overcome the 81st lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!
When Gan Ru Yan and Peng Lai heard the patriarch’s words and saw the grim expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face, they cried out in unison,
What?

Like many others, they had assumed Duan Ling Tian would be able to easily pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial. Little did they know, the situation would turn around again.

I thought I’d be able to witness another miracle… Who knows it would be so short-lived!
Peng Lai smiled bitterly.

Brother Tian!


Daddy!

Ke’er and Duan Si Ling, who had sighed in relief, began to feel worried again.
Huang Wen Jing turned slightly pale. Her heart seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell. ‘How could this be?’
Huang Qi Ling felt the same way as well.
…


‘I see! So Duan Ling Tian overcoming the 80th lightning bolt was just his last struggle! I actually thought he would be able to pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!’ Many people thought to themselves.
Yun Fu Ye and Shi Nan Feng smiled. In fact, most people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls were smiling as well.

I see!
Yuwen Hao Chen smirked when he looked at Duan Ling Tian again.
Duan Ling Tian, it seems like I’ve overestimated your ability! To think I’ve mistakenly summoned Lord Patriarch here to deal with you. It seems like there’s no need for any of us to make a move. The last Tribulation Lightning will kill you as it is,
he said mockingly, his spirit becoming higher.
Most people, at this point, realized their patriarch had arrived since a while ago. That must be how he knew so much about the situation.
‘How astute! As expected of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan!’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. His current predicament had been cleanly exposed by the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan. At the same time, he turned his head slightly to look at Ke’er and Duan Si Ling. His eyes darted back and forth between the two ladies as though he was trying to imprint their appearances into his mind.
‘Goodbye…Ke’er and Si Ling. If there’s a next life, I’ll definitely treat both of you better…’ Even if Duan Ling Tian was unwilling to accept his fate, he knew there was nothing he could do about it. Naturally, he did not plan to stay idle and wait for death. Even if he was sure to die, he would do his best to fight regardless of how hopelessly strong the last Tribulation Lightning was. He would fight to his last breath so he would not have any regrets left when he died.
