Chapter 2360 Void Crack Over A Thousand Meter Long
“Duan Ling Tian, I surrender.”
The people from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect felt sympathy for Tang Xuan when they heard his words. Regardless, he was still their sect leader. As he kneeled before Duan Ling Tian and admitted defeat, they could hear the shame, resentment, and helplessness in his voice when he spoke. They could only imagine how he was feeling at this moment.
“You surrender?” Duan Ling Tian smirked when he heard Tang Xuan’s voice. Then, he said indifferently, “Since you’ve surrendered, you should go to h.e.l.l!” As soon as he finished speaking, Celestial Origin Energy that was mixed with Saint Origin surged out of his body. As an Eminent Celestial, he did not even need to cast his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, to effortlessly kill Tang Xuan who was only at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as Duan Ling Tian lifted his hands, his force shot out like a fierce roaring dragon, setting off a series of explosions. He was finally going to avenge Elder Huo, the Three-legged Golden Crow.
Tang Xuan who realized he was on the brink of death hurriedly shouted, “Hold on! Duan Ling Tian, you can’t kill me. If you do, you’ll never find out about the Saint Girl’s origin and the danger that looms ahead of her.”
“Hmm?” Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brow as he halted the energy that had shot out. He said emotionlessly to Chen Yi Ru, “Release him.”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s command, Chen Yi Ru released Tang Xuan from the force that had bound him. At the same time, he also warned Tang Xuan, “You better not play any tricks. Otherwise, even if master spares your life, I’ll make you feel as though you’re living in h.e.l.l on earth!”
Since Tang Xuan knew Chen Yi Ru was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he felt chills run up his spine when he heard his warning. He did not feel delighted even though he was freed. He knew whether he was bound or not, he was still in a precarious situation. However, when he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian, he was shocked. “E-eminent Celestial?” He had sensed the Celestial Origin Energy in Duan Ling Tian’s body. Not even in his wildest dreams would he expect that the purple-clad young man from a few years ago who was as weak as ant had already pa.s.sed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and became an Eminent Celestial! He found it incredibly hard to believe. How could Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base improve so tremendously in just a few years? “H-how’s this possible?”
“Eminent Celestial?”
“Did Lord Sect Leader say Guardian Ling Tian is an Eminent Celestial?”
“What? Guardian Ling Tian became an Eminent Celestial in such a short time? Is this a joke?”
“Look at Lord Sect Leader… Does it look like he’s joking?”
Everyone from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was already shocked that Duan Ling Tian had a follower who was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Naturally, they were even more shocked when they heard Duan Ling Tian had become an Eminent Celestial. Not only was his follower incredibly strong, but he was also strong.
An Eminent Celestial! Prior to today, most of them thought Eminent Celestials were the strongest in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Chen Yi Ru might be impressive since he was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, but Duan Ling Tian who was less than a hundred years old had only come to the Upper Province about ten years ago and he had already pa.s.sed his Celestial Ascension Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial! This was even more shocking to them!.
Chen Yi Ru sneered when he heard the people from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect talking. “Eminent Celestial?” Was his master somebody whom Eminent Celestials could compare to? His master’s current strength was comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Even he was no match for his master!
“Tell me what you know,” Duan Ling Tian demanded coldly.
Tang Xuan who had regained his senses looked at Duan Ling Tian fearfully. Initially, he had thought Duan Ling Tian had dared to act so boldly because he had Chen Yi Ru’s support. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian’s strength would greatly surpa.s.s his after a few years. Although he was able to escape from Eminent Celestials easily with his movement Divine Ability, he was not a match for them if they fought. He knew his limitations very well. He asked pleadingly, “Would you spare my life if I tell you what I know?”
“Do you think you have the right to talk to me about conditions?” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes immediately as his body emitted killing intent.
Tang Xuan’s heart was seized by coldness, and he chose to give in. “The Saint Girl is the reincarnation of a G.o.ddess. This isn’t a secret in the sect,” he said as Duan Ling Tian watched him coldly, “I’m aware that not many people believe this. In fact, even the Guardians think it’s nothing but nonsense.”
Zi Feng, Qing Huo, Hong Yun, and Leng Yin did not speak up when they heard this. Indeed. They thought their sect leader had made this up for some reason. After all, there were no records of Saint Girls in the history of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. It was difficult for them to believe him.
“All these while, I didn’t bother to convince them. It’s enough that I know the Saint Girl is the reincarnation of a G.o.ddess!” At this moment, Tang Xuan turned to look at Ke’er who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian as he continued to speak, “That year, a G.o.d-like powerhouse who’s not from the mundane realm appeared before me. His strength is nothing like I’ve ever seen. He managed to tear open a crack in the void that was over 1,000 meters long with just a lift of his hand!” His expression turned grave as he spoke about this as though he was reliving his past experience again.
“What did you say?” Chen Yi Ru asked in astonishment when he heard Tang Xuan’s words. “You said he tore open a crack in the void that was over 1,000 meters long by simply lifting his hand?”
How could Chen Yi Ru not lose his composure? Based on what he knew, even Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in the mundane realm were only capable of tearing a crack in the void that was over a hundred meters long.
“A crack over 1,000 meters long?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grim as well when he heard Tang Xuan’s words. Although, unlike Chen Yi Ru, he did not know long the crack would be if a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial tore a hole in the void, he knew someone who was able to tear open a crack in the void that was over 1,000 meters long must be very formidable! That person had to be even stronger than a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.
“A crack in the void that’s over 1,000 meters long?”
“H-how strong is that person?”
“From what I know, Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials or those who are stronger are able to tear a hole in the void. However, even a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial can only tear a crack that’s one inch long!”
“Over 1,000 meters? Even Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials aren’t so strong, right?”
The four Guardians of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect felt a jolt of fear when they heard Tang Xuan’s words.
“Is Lord Sect Leader telling the truth?”
“I feel like I’m listening to some fantasy story!”
“He wouldn’t lie to Duan Ling Tian, would he?”
“That’s possible!”
Many disciples from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect could not help but whisper among themselves. They found this hard to believe.
As a cultivator at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, Tang Xuan’s hearing was, naturally, very good. He was so furious he almost threw up blood again when he heard the discussion in his surroundings. For a moment, he wished he could give the disciples a beating. He was afraid Duan Ling Tian would doubt his words as well so he quickly swore on the lightning penalty oath to prove the veracity of his words. “I, Tang Xuan, swear on the lightning penalty oath…”
