Chapter 2504 The a.s.sist-type Divine Ability from a Devata Realm
The black-clad woman looked at Duan Ling Tian warily and asked, “Do you want my Celestial Supreme Treasure as well?”
Duan Ling Tian could only see the black-clad woman’s eyes and long hair that fell like a waterfall on her back. He was already anxious for failing to find anyone from Yan Huang Realm after so long so he became impatient when he heard the woman’s words and her refusal to answer his question. He said snappily, “If I wanted your Celestial Supreme Treasure, do I have to wait until this moment?” A vast energy surged out of his body as soon as he finished speaking like a burst of flames, giving him an intimidating aura. At the same time, wave after wave of sword rays formed and shrouded his body.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The piercing sound of swords whistled in the air as sword rays gathered around Duan Ling Tian before they finally rose above his head. This was his Sword Formation. It emitted a formidable aura as it hovered above his head, encompa.s.sing a large area in his surroundings.
The black-clad woman’s expression changed drastically when she felt the mysterious aura. Naturally, her expression was hidden underneath the black cloth. However, the hint of shock in her eyes could not be concealed at all. It was obvious that she longer had her composure from before.
Whoos.h.!.+
While she was in a state of shock, the black-clad woman’s dagger injured her hand before it flew out of her grasp as though it was being summoned by something. She could only watch as the dagger flew to the Sword Formation above Duan Ling Tian’s head.
“You…” The black-clad woman was thoroughly shocked.
Duan Ling Tian had taken the dagger into his hand. He weighed it before flipping it around. As he held the dagger in his hand, he stared at the black-clad woman and asked indifferently, “Now, do you still think I covet your Celestial Supreme Treasure?”
“You… You’re Duan Ling Tian?” The black-clad woman, once again, failed to answer Duan Ling Tian’s question. Her eyes revealed her shock.
Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. “You know me?”
“Are you really Duan Ling Tian?” The black-clad woman gasped when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s confirmation. “I-Is it true that you killed the strongest Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in Muoro Realm despite being an Eminent Celestial? Also, are you really as strong as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”
“Why would I lie?” Based on the black-clad woman’s words, Duan Ling Tian knew she must have heard of his deeds in the location of the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.
“So it’s you!” The black-clad woman sighed in relief. The fear in her eyes had disappeared, and it was replaced by curiosity as she gazed at Duan Ling Tian. If the man standing before her was Duan Ling Tian, there was no doubt he would not covet her Celestial Supreme Treasure. After all, if he had wanted it, he could easily kill her. There was no need for him to waste words with her.
“When I asked if any of you were from Yan Huang Realm, I could tell, based on the look in your eyes, that you’re from Yan Huang Realm. Am I right?” Duan Ling Tian asked. He had noticed a change in the black-clad woman’s eyes when he had asked that question earlier.
“Yes.” The black-clad woman finally answered Duan Ling Tian’s question. She had avoided answering his question earlier and asked him if he coveted her Celestial Supreme Treasure. As a result, he had taken her Celestial Supreme Treasure as a show of power. Now that she had given him an answer, her eyes darted toward the dagger he held in his hand. She had obtained the dagger from a heaven-rank treasure vault.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up when he heard the black-clad woman’s reply. He quickly asked as he weighed the dagger in his hand, “Do you want me to return this Celestial Supreme Treasure to you?”
The black-clad woman’s eyes brightened upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. “You’ll return it to me?” When he had taken the dagger away, she was prepared for the eventuality of losing the dagger. Unexpectedly, it seemed like he intended to return it to her. If he was willing to return it, she, naturally, wanted it. It was a Celestial Supreme Treasure after all!
Duan Ling Tian did not beat around the bush and stated his condition immediately, “As long as you take me to the point of entrance of exit to Yan Huang Realm, I’ll return this Celestial Supreme Treasure to you.”
It was not easy for Duan Ling Tian to find someone from Yan Huang Realm. Therefore, he was determined to seize this chance. He was willing to use every means available to him to get the black-clad woman to show him the way to the point of entrance and exit to Yan Huang Realm in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.
“You want to go to Yan Huang Realm?” The black-clad woman, naturally, understood Duan Ling Tian’s intention. She finally knew why he had asked her and the group of people if they were from Yan Huang Realm.
“Mm.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
“Don’t you have a companion from the Celestial Masters Sect? Why didn’t you ask him to lead you there?” The black-clad woman asked skeptically. She was familiar with Duan Ling Tian’s feats in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Not only did she hear about his strength that was on par with Nine Tribulations Bodiless Celestials and how he had killed the strongest Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in Mouro Realm, but she had also heard that one of his companions was from the Celestial Masters Sect in Yan Huang Realm.
“You even heard about this?” Duan Ling Tian could not hide his surprise. “I brought him with me to the Saint Province Realm. However, we were separated when we entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone again.”
“I see.” The black-clad woman nodded. Her eyes darted around as a cunning light flashed in her eyes.
Duan Ling Tian frowned. He did not miss the cunning glint in the black-clad woman’s eyes. He vaguely felt an ominous feeling rising in his heart.
The black-clad woman said, “I don’t have a problem with leading you to the point of entrance and exit to Yan Huang Realm. However, before that, you’ll have to help me pa.s.s the challenges in the heaven-rank treasure vaults. I want the Divine Abilities from the Devata Realms. I have no interest in the minor inheritance in the heaven-rank treasure vaults so you don’t have to help me with that.
“Don’t try to take advantage of the situation!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened. “I’m already being generous by returning you the Celestial Supreme Treasure. How dare you demand I help you to obtain the Divine Abilities in the heaven-rank treasure vaults?”
“I’m not taking advantage of the situation.” The cunning light in the black-clad woman’s eyes grew brighter. “After all, it’s not difficult for you to help me pa.s.s the challenges, right?”
Indeed. It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to pa.s.s all the challenges in a heaven-rank treasure vault. However, he did not want to waste too much time in here. After all, it would take some time for one to memorize and comprehend Divine Abilities. He said irritably, “My patience has its limit. If you won’t do it, I’ll just find someone else.”
“You’re welcome to do that. It’s not like I can’t pa.s.s the challenges. I just need more time,” the black-clad woman said indifferently, putting Duan Ling Tian in a tough spot.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?” Duan Ling Tian glared at the black-clad woman. His eyes were cold as he stared at her.
“Would you do it?” The black-clad woman retorted as she stared at Duan Ling Tian. The cunning light in her eyes did not disappear at all.
Duan Ling Tian scoffed, but in the end, he decided to compromise. After all, it was difficult for him to encounter someone from Yan Huang Realm. Who knew when he would find another person from Yan Huang Realm if he let her go?
The black-clad woman looked extremely pleased with herself when Duan Ling Tian agreed to her request. It took him three days and three nights to help her pa.s.s the challenges. In fact, he could have done it faster, but he was restricted by the rules in the heaven-rank treasure vault.
“a.s.sist-type Divine Ability?” The Divine Ability in the heaven-rank treasure vault soon appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. It was an a.s.sist-type Divine Ability from a Devata Realm.
“It’s an a.s.sist-type Divine Ability!” The black-clad woman exclaimed excitedly. She did not waste time and began to memorize and comprehend the Divine Ability. If she managed to memorize and comprehend it before the time was up, she would be able to obtain it.
This process was similar to the one that Duan Ling Tian had previously gone through in order to obtain the Divine Ability, the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords.
Duan Ling Tian, however, did not attempt to comprehend and memorize this a.s.sist-type Divine Ability from a Devata Realm. After all, the a.s.sist-type Divine Ability he had mastered, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, was far superior in comparison.
