Chapter 1612: A Fish That Slipped Through the Net
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Supreme Elder Peng of Dark Nether Sect had revealed his killing intent to Duan Ling Tian, he was not in a hurry to make a move.
He was also using his Divine Consciousness to search the surrounding for people hiding in the dark. Both he and Ye Feng shared the same thought. They felt a powerhouse sent by Situ Hao had to be hiding in the dark to support Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Duan Ling Tian to appear in front of them so openly. It did not cross their minds at all that, perhaps, Duan Ling Tian alone was enough to defeat both of them.
‘Two idiots!’ Duan Ling Tian cursed inwardly when he saw both of them staring at him, but their attention was not on him at all.
At the same time, a stone tablet appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s hand. The stone tablet was missing a corner. It was fully engraved with some ancient writings that Duan Ling Tian could not decipher. Although he could not decipher the ancient writings on the stone tablet with a missing corner, it did not affect his ability to use it at all.
Hu!
Duan Ling Tian quickly raised his hand that was holding the stone tablet with a missing corner at lightning speed. A hint of ferocity could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Ye Feng and the old man standing next to him.
He moved his hand and the stone tablet flew out like an arrow toward Ye Feng and the old man. As the stone tablet flew out, it began to emit a black mist. When the black mist appeared, it was accompanied by a terrifying aura that made Ye Feng and the old man next to him tremble in fear as they regained their senses. Fear lingered around them when they sensed the terrifying aura.
They quickly retracted their Divine Consciousness and s.h.i.+fted their attention to the stone tablet with a missing corner.
The stone tablet with a missing corner gave off a dangerous and oppressive feeling.
Boom! Boom!
Without any hesitation, Ye Feng and Elder Peng made a move almost simultaneously.
Accompanied by the two explosions, two powerful auras appeared immediately in within a hundred-meter radius. It was obvious they were casting their Territories using their True Origins.
True Origin was the power of a Saint Stage powerhouse.
A Territory formed by True Energy could not be compared to a Territory formed using True Origin.
Not only were they a lot stronger, but even the speed when they formed their Territories with True Origins was a lot faster.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned solemn when he felt the tremendous pressure from the aura of the two Territories.
“Worthy of being Saint Stage powerhouses… Their Territories are so strong that even my 10,000 Swords Territory can’t compete with them!” Duan Ling Tian was certain about this.
However, although the situation might seem dire, Duan Ling Tian had no intention of retreating at all.
His eyes quickly s.h.i.+fted to the stone tablet with a missing corner. He had full confidence in it because it was the Devilseal Tablet. It was one of the Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Ranking. It had the ability to suppress Devil Cultivators!
As this thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, the black mist exploded as though it could sense the Territories formed by the True Origins. The terrifying aura intensified as though it was angered from being challenged by the Territories.
When the black mist exploded, both Ye Feng and the old man’s Territories that were almost completely formed were instantly suppressed. Although they were suppressed, they were not destroyed. They were only on the verge of being destroyed.
“Impossible!”
“How’s it possible?!”
When Ye Feng and the old man saw this, their expressions changed dramatically. Their eyes were filled with shock when they looked at the stone tablet with a missing corner.
How could a mere Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator force them into a corner just like that? Naturally, they could see it was all due to the stone tablet before their eyes.
What the h.e.l.l was that stone tablet?
“Could it be…” At this moment, Ye Feng seemed to have recalled something. His eyes widened as he yelled in horror, “It’s the Devilseal Tablet! It’s the Devilseal Tablet!”
The Devilseal Tablet!
Once Ye Feng finished speaking, the old man’s expression changed drastically. He even stopped forming his Territory.
Due to this reason, the old man’s Territory that was not completely formed was instantly destroyed by the Devilseal Tablet. It was as though it was never there at all.
Once the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect’s Territory was destroyed, Ye Feng’s Territory could not withstand the Devilseal Tablet on its own. In just a moment, it was destroyed just like the Supreme Elder’s Territory. In just an instant, both of them were completely exposed and vulnerable to the Devilseal Tablet.
“Run!”
“Run!”
Faced with Devilseal Tablet that they had only heard about from the rumor mill, Ye Feng and the old man who had finally experienced the power of the stone tablet had no intention of fighting at all. In fact, they did not even look at each other before they fled in different directions.
Sou! Sou!
One had to know that as Saint Stage powerhouses, their speed was outrageously fast. Since they had both fled in different directions, the Devilseal Tablet could only target one of them.
Eventually, the Devilseal Tablet chose to chase after the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect. The Supreme Elder was fast, but the Devilseal Tablet was not slow either.
Duan Ling Tian watched as the black mist swept toward the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect and completely shrouded him. After a while, the black mist gradually disappeared, revealing the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect. However, his eyes were dull, and he was completely lifeless.
The Devilseal Tablet killed Devil Cultivators by destroying their souls, not their bodies.
Therefore, although the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect looked fine physically, he was already dead because his soul had been destroyed by the Devilseal Tablet.
However, since it had chosen to chase after the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect, it had missed the chance to chase after Ye Feng, allowing him to escape.
Duan Ling Tian thought the Devilseal Tablet would go after Ye Feng after it was finished with the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect. He did not think it would stop moving as though it had lost track of Ye Feng.
“One of them actually managed to escape… This is going to bring me trouble!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned extremely gloomy. He thought he had used the Devilseal Tablet at the perfect time. He did not think the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, Ye Feng, would be able to escape. Ye Feng’s escape meant that he was about to land in big trouble!
