Chapter 2113: Revealing His True Appearance!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s just us?” Xie Zong was unconvinced when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He continued to scan his surroundings. He used his Divine Consciousness to check every nook and cranny in his surroundings as though he would not rest until he found the person he was convinced was still hiding.
Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by Xie Zong’s action but he no longer said anything. His gaze was cold as he stared at Xie Zong.
Xie Zong shuddered when he felt Duan Ling Tian’s gaze on him. He quickly regained his senses and turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. At this moment, he could feel the intense killing intent radiating from Duan Ling Tian.
“Who are you? Why did you lure me out?” Xie Zong asked in a deep voice. At the same time, he was still looking around warily, afraid that someone would sneak up on him.
Whether it was the figure or the voice of this purple-clad young man, Xie Zong thought he looked and sounded familiar. However, he could not remember when he had met the purple-clad young man before. However, he was certain of one thing. He had never seen this man’s face before. The man’s face was not familiar at all. He was certain the purple-clad young man did not disguise his appearance. For this reason, he felt extremely baffled.
Who the h.e.l.l was this purple-clad young man? Why did he lure him out here? Why did he feel so familiar?
Duan Ling Tian laughed loudly when he heard Xie Zong’s question. His laughter was unrestrained. “Who am I?”
Duan Ling Tian’s laughter made Xie Zong feel uneasy. He cried out, “Why are you laughing?! Brat, do you know I am? I’m Black…”
Before Xie Zong could finish his sentence, Duan Ling Tian interrupted him and said, “I know you’re a Black Kshetra Sect elder, and I know your father’s the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Karmapas of the Black Kshetra Sect! There’s no need for you to give me a rundown of your background. I know all about you. Otherwise, why would I lure you out here?” Duan Ling Tian stared at Xie Zong intently with a sneer.
“You… Who the h.e.l.l are you?!” Various expressions flitted across Xie Zong’s face as his voice turned lower and lower. He felt an inexplicable sense of danger even though he knew the purple-clad young man was not a match for him. He thought the sense of danger he felt came from the person hiding in his surroundings. Therefore, he kept using his Divine Consciousness to search his surroundings.
“Xie Zong, open your eyes and take a good look at me…” Duan Ling Tian’s voice changed. At the same time, the muscles on his face began to s.h.i.+ft before it finally turned into a different face. Duan Ling Tian finally revealed his true appearance.
When Xie Zong saw Duan Ling Tian’s true appearance, his eyes widened in disbelief and an expression of incredulity appeared on his face. He felt as though something was stuck in his throat, he could not speak at all.
For a moment, it felt as though time had stood still.
Xie Zong, naturally, recognized Duan Ling Tian the moment he revealed his true appearance. Previously, he had forcefully taken the Devilseal Tablet, one of the Ten Great Super Saint Weapons, from Duan Ling Tian! Xie Zong would have killed him then if Duan Ling Tian was not a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior since he did not want trouble with the dragon clan! Apart from that, he did not kill him because he did not think Duan Ling Tian would amount to much even if he was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. When he was at the Azure Cloud Mansion, he had checked Duan Ling Tian’s Innate Spiritual Root and confirmed that Duan Ling Tian merely possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. In his opinion, someone with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root was a n.o.body even if they were considered talented in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land! At that time, he thought Duan Ling Tian would never be a threat to him.
“D-Duan Ling Tian! H-How’s this possible? How can it be you?!” Xie Zong regained his senses after a few moments. He looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock and horror. A hint of disbelief could be seen in his eyes as well. Not even in his dreams did he imagine that the purple-clad young man whose strength was almost on par with his strength after the purple-clad young man had cast his Divine Abilities was Duan Ling Tian whom he had encountered in the Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
In the past, Xie Zong though it would nigh impossible for Duan Ling Tian who possessed a light yellow Innate Spiritual Root to break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage even if Duan Ling Tian came to the Upper Province. He thought Duan Ling Tian’s limit would be at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage at most. Even if Duan Ling Tian managed to break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage by chance, it would be extremely difficult for him to progress any further.
As a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse, Xie Zong thought Duan Ling Tian would still be like an ant even after Duan Ling Tian had grown stronger. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was worthless and would not pose a threat to him at all! It was completely out of his expectation that the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land whom he considered to be like an ant would grow so strong in just a year or two. Duan Ling Tian was almost as strong as him.
Duan Ling Tian ignored Xie Zong’s surprise. His gaze turned colder as he said indifferently, “Xie Zong! Back then, you killed Elder Ku in my Azure Cloud Mansion and s.n.a.t.c.hed the Devilseal Tablet away from me. You even planned to destroy the Azure Cloud Mansion even though you failed to do so in the end… At that time, I swore to myself that if I don’t kill you then I’m a useless person. Today will be the day I fulfill my promise to myself!” Duan Ling Tian’s voice gradually turned calmer as he spoke. However, his killing intent grew stronger and stronger in his eyes.
Xie Zong laughed uproariously when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words and after he confirmed there was truly no one hiding in his surroundings.
Duan Ling Tian only continued to look at him calmly.
After a while, Xie Zong finally stopped laughing. He looked at Duan Ling Tian disdainfully as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, although I don’t know what fortuitous encounter you had to grow so strong with your lousy Innate Spiritual Root, do you think you really got me trapped?” Although Xie Zong was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s improvement within these two years, he did not think much of it. He remained calm because there was nothing he could do about Duan Ling Tian’s growth in strength. He speculated that Duan Ling Tian was so bold to act at this time because he had gotten stronger and he was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.
In Xie Zong’s opinion, judging by Duan Ling Tian’s current strength, if he transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, he might be a match for Xie Zong. However, it would be difficult for him to defeat Xie Zong. Therefore, Xie Zong was not afraid.
Xie Zong was the son of the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Karmapas in the Black Kshetra Sect. Moreover, he was the Golden Lion King’s only son. His strength was not the only thing he could rely on.
‘If he transforms into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, I should still be a match for him… I suppose I’ll toy with him for a while. I’ll send a message to Elder Chu once I get bored of toying with him. Even if he’s stronger than me, and Elder Chu can’t reach me in time, I still have a Dao Talisman that can send him to h.e.l.l in just an instant,’ Xie Zong thought to himself. He did not fear Duan Ling Tian at all.
“You’ll see soon enough!” Duan Ling Tian said before he made a sudden move.
In just an instant, the majestic Sun Saint Energy surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s body and transformed into a pair of flaming wings that sprouted from his back.
The wings were extremely life-like. Even the fire on the wings made the surroundings hotter.
The Golden Crow’s Wings! Duan Ling Tian cast his high-grade movement Divine Ability!
As soon as Duan Ling Tian cast his movement Divine Ability and a pair of flaming wings appeared on his back, Xie Zong who was looking at him disdainfully just a few moments ago cried out, “Y-you’re the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s prodigy, Duan Ling Tian?!”
If one listened carefully, one could hear a slight tremble in Xie Zong’s voice when he spoke.
When Xie Zong saw the flaming wings and recalled the a.s.sist-type Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian had cast earlier to raise his strength, the puzzles began to fall into place for Xie Zong. He instantly recalled Duan Ling Tian, the new prodigy from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect who had recently become famous in the Dao Martial Saint Land!
Duan Ling Tian, the new prodigy from Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect! He managed to defeat Bu Hong who was ranked second and took Bu Hong’s place as the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian was also ranked at the 421st place on the Supreme Saint Ranking!
As Duan Ling Tian rose to fame in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, news about him mastering four high-grade Divine Abilities had spread like wildfire in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, shocking everyone.
It was not uncommon for powerhouses from the older generation to master four high-grade Divine Abilities. However, it was almost unheard of for someone so young to master four high-grade Divine Abilities! It was extremely rare even in the history of the Dao Martial Saint Land!
For this reason, news of Duan Ling Tian successfully mastering four high-grade Divine Abilities was a well-known fact in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Even Xie Zong who was in the Black Kshetra Sect had heard about it.
Xie Zong instantly recognized the high-grade movement Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian cast due to its extraordinary characteristics. “Golden Crow’s Wings!”
