Chapter 2653 Seven-colored Sword Ray
“It seems like I’ve underestimated you!” In a hurry to repel Duan Ling Tian’s attack, Zhou Tong unleashed all his strength without using a Celestial Weapon. He stumbled back slightly before he looked at Duan Ling Tian with a solemn expression on his face. His eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with shock. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so strong!
Zhou Tong felt doubt beginning to rise in him as he thought to himself, ‘He… Did he truly
ascend to the Spirit Overarching Heaven just two and a half years ago? Is he really a Heavenly Celestial?’ It should be impossible for a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial to launch such a powerful attack no matter how many heaven-grade Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities they mastered. Apart from that, was it even possible for someone, a Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial, who had just ascended two and a half years ago become a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial in such a short time? Even if Duan Ling Tian was a peerless talent who managed to ascend after cultivating in a mundane realm for less than 100 years, it should still be impossible for him to achieve so much in such a short period. In the end, he concluded inwardly, ‘He has to be hiding even more secrets…’
Zhou Tong had verified that Duan Ling Tian had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven two and a half years ago. If that was the case, he was certain Duan Ling Tian had to be harboring other secrets. Moreover, that secret probably had something to do with his immense strength. He, naturally, grew excited when he thought about this.
“Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to be so strong…” Zhou Tong said in a deep voice as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “However, if this is the extent of your strength, you won’t be able to avoid your impending fate. I’ll still capture you and torture you!” His tone turned colder and colder as he spoke. Although Duan Ling Tian’s attack was stronger than all the peak Golden Celestials he had met, Duan Ling Tian was still weaker than him. He could defeat Duan Ling Tian without even using his Celestial Weapon. He only had to unleash all his strength earlier to repel Duan Ling Tian’s attack because he was caught unprepared. Needless to say, if he was prepared, he would be able to easily deflect Duan Ling Tian’s attack without using his full strength.
Duan Ling Tian sneered. “Well, we’ll have to see if you’re capable of capturing me!” At this moment, he was very well aware of the difference between his and Zhou Tong’s strength. Even without using a Celestial Weapon, Zhou Tong had easily blocked his attack even after he used his primitive Celestial Weapon and unleashed all his strength. Nevertheless, that was not all the tricks he had in his a.r.s.enal!
“You’ll see for yourself soon enough!” Zhou Tong sneered as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhou Tong moved toward Duan Ling Tian again. His fiery Celestial Origin Energy intensified and surged into the air. He was like a vengeful G.o.d of fire that was about to mete out punishment.
The disturbance was so great that Zhou Fei and Qin Yu stopped fighting for a moment as they stared in horror at the moving fiery energy.
‘Duan Ling Tian is able to force G.o.dfather to unleash so much power?’ With Zhou Fei’s cultivation base, he still could not see through his G.o.dfather’s move. However, he could sense that the strength his G.o.dfather was using was much more than the full strength of a peak Golden Celestial.
Similarly, Qin Yu was shocked as well. After exchanging twenty to thirty moves with Zhou Fei, he was beginning to feel the burn of it. Since Zhou Fei had stopped attacking for the moment, he took the opportunity to catch his breath. Nevertheless, although he was at a disadvantage, he would not be defeated anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian’s expression was grim as he faced Zhou Tong’s ferocious attack again. This time, Zhou Tong’s attack was much stronger. He would not be able to block this attack if he had used the same attack he had used earlier. He sighed inwardly. ‘I’m still weaker than a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.’ Soon enough, his eyes began to s.h.i.+ne brightly as he continued thinking to himself, ‘That said, I’m not much weaker than a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.’
Whoos.h.!.+
A gust of wind blew in the air as Duan Ling Tian put away his primitive Celestial Sword.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Tong was puzzled.
At the same time, a seven-colored sword ray shot out of Duan Ling Tian’s right palm that was facing downward. The aura it emitted was incredibly powerful. “Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword!”
A few moments later, the seven-colored sword ray hovered in front of Duan Ling Tian. As soon as it appeared, it seemed to suppress and stifle those who were present on the scene. This was especially true for Zhou Fei and Qin Yu. Even Zhou Tong’s aura as a Great Overarching Golden Celestial was not as great as the seven-colored sword ray!
As soon as it appeared, everything in its surroundings seemed to pale in comparison!
“This… Is this a Celestial Weapon?”
“W-what grade is this Celestial Weapon?”
The three people present on the scene were in shock and disbelief.
“Sword Formation! Thirteen Green Lotus Swords!” Faced with the ball of flame that was moving toward him, the seven-colored sword ray hovering in front of Duan Ling Tian shot out and split into tens of thousands of sword rays before converging again to form a sword Formation. The seven colors it radiated was incredibly dazzling, looking like a rainbow as it continued to shoot out.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A wave of energy from the sword Formation rolled out in all directions, setting off a series of explosions. At this moment, it seemed as though the end of the world had arrived.
Greed flashed in Zhou Tong’s voice. His voice was ice-cold that it seemed like the surroundings’ temperature had dropped. “Duan Ling Tian, who knew you possess such a high-grade Celestial Weapon? However, do you think you’re the only one who has a Celestial Weapon?”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
A cane appeared in Zhou Tong’s hand as he charged at Duan Ling Tian. The flames around him seemed to intensify as it surged even higher. His aura was not any weaker than Duan Ling Tian’s sword Formation that was radiating a seven-colored light.
“A mediocre Celestial Weapon?” Duan Ling Tian could tell Zhou Tong’s Celestial Weapon was of a higher grade than a primitive Celestial Weapon. If it were just a primitive Celestial Weapon, it would not be able to boost Zhou Tong’s strength to the point where it was as strong as the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. He was certain it was a mediocre Celestial Weapon because he thought it was unlikely for Zhou Tong to own a prominent Celestial Weapon.
‘I wonder if the Ten Thousand Soldiers Surrender will be able to submit it like the other primitive Celestial Weapons…’ Duan Ling Tian felt slightly unsettled.
Suddenly, the sword Formation’s aura turned strange as it rapidly shrouded a large area of the land. Not only did it envelop Zhou Tong, but it enveloped Qin Yu and Zhou Fei as well.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
In just an instant, Zhou Tong and Qin Yu’s Celestial Weapons shot out of their hands and flew into the seven-colored sword Formation as though they were being pulled by an invisible force.
“No!”
“Impossible!”
Two cries sounded in unison.
Zhou Tong’s cane, a mediocre Celestial Weapon, had been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the mysterious energy of Duan Ling Tian’s seven-colored sword Formation! The backlash from when his weapon was s.n.a.t.c.hed away injured his hand. Without his cane, the raging flames around him weakened slightly.
At this moment, the seven-colored sword Formation was very close to Zhou Tong who was shrouded in flames.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
A series of sword cries rang in the air as the seven-colored light from the sword Formation turned blindingly bright. The land was bathed in seven colors at this moment.
Meanwhile, fire on the ball of flames raged as it shot in the air, seemingly capable of burning everything down!
The two attacks collided.
Bang!
A deafening explosion sounded as a mushroom cloud rose into the air. Powerful shockwaves rolled out in all directions, sending Qin Yu and Zhou Fei flying. They were even injured by the shockwave. Fortunately, both of them were quite a distance away from the epicenter. Otherwise, they would have been killed! Both of them fearfully stopped all movements.
At the same time, a painful cry rang in the air. “No!”
“G.o.dfather!” Zhou Fei’s expression changed drastically upon hearing that scream.
