Chapter 3482: Unprecedented in the History of All the Devata Realms
Since when did it become so easy to form a Dao of Heaven and Earth?
Ling Jue Yun’s gaze when he looked at Duan Ling Tian was as though he was meeting Duan Ling Tian for the first time.
Ling Jue Yun possessed a valuable treasure that caused the downfall of the Ling clan in the Divine Offering Land. Even with the help of that valuable treasure, he had only managed to form the Limitless Dao and comprehended it to the elementary stage, which was the same stage as Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of his s.p.a.ce Sword Dao and Mastery Dao. Most importantly, even with that treasure, he had only managed to form one Dao!
At this moment, Ling Jue Yun’s soaring fighting spirit was reflected in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He murmured to himself, “I’m currently behind you in regard to the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. However, I’ll definitely surpa.s.s you in all aspects in the future! As a direct descendant of the Ling clan in the Divine Offering Realm, I won’t allow myself to be defeated by someone from a mundane realm!”
Although Ling Jue Yun knew he was behind Duan Ling Tian, his spirit was not dampened. After all, the future was long, and he still had time to surpa.s.s Duan Ling Tian since their Daos were only at the elementary stage.
“The Mastery Dao?”
Although most of the young geniuses had heard of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, they could not tell Duan Ling Tian had formed the Mastery Dao. They only figured it out when they heard the conversations between those in the know.
“It’s said if one manages to raise one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, they can attain G.o.dhood immediately. Rumor has it that Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang attained G.o.dhood through this method…”
“There are some Nine Star G.o.ds of War whose comprehension of the law is weaker than Eight Star G.o.ds of War. However, they make up for that after forming and comprehending an elementary Dao…”
“Heavens! This is too unbelievable! Duan Ling Tian is only slightly over 600 years old, but he managed to form two Daos! Although the Daos are still in the elementary stages, it’s only a matter of time before he gains a deeper understanding of his Daos!”
“It’s said that there are a few Heavenly Emperors who have formed an elementary Dao. For example, Heavenly Emperor Ding Fu of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven has formed a Devouring Dao while the Heavenly Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beast Heavens has formed the Limitless Dao.”
The young geniuses selected to partic.i.p.ate in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses were all outstanding. It did not matter if they came from a famous force or were disciples of experts living in seclusion, their elders were all powerhouses in the Devata Realms. Hence, it was only natural that they had heard of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth even if they had not seen them before. Prior to today, most of them had never seen the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth before. It was their first time seeing the Sword Dao, a Weaponry Dao, during the second round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses when Duan Ling Tian made a move.
Although most of them later figured out that Duan Ling Tian had formed another one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, it took them a while to identify the Dao as the Mastery Dao. When they recalled how Duan Ling Tian seemed invulnerable within a five-meter radius and how the s.p.a.ce around him destroyed the vines, they slowly figured out that Duan Ling Tian formed a Mastery Dao that allowed him to manipulate the s.p.a.ce around him. Since this was only the elementary stage, needless to say, the range of the s.p.a.ce he was able to manipulate would only increase as his comprehension deepened.
At the same time, the Heavenly Emperors and the high-ranking officials from the t.i.tle Temple branches were also discussing among themselves.
“Duan Ling Tian actually formed two out of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth… I’m afraid this feat is unprecedented in the history of all the Devata Realms, right? What a monstrous talent…”
“We’ll have to ask the t.i.tle Temple regarding this matter…”
“That’s right. The t.i.tle Temple’s history is as long as the Devata Realms’. They should know if someone with such heaven-defying talents had ever appeared in the past…”
Many of the Heavenly Emperors began to ask the Temple Masters of the t.i.tle Temple branches. However, they only received vague replies that said they were not sure. After all, those from the t.i.tle Temple branches had been warned by Xu Kong Hai to keep the matter a secret.
At this time, Ru Lai, the Temple Master of the t.i.tle Temple in the Pavilion Shaft Heaven, responded to a Heavenly Emperor, “The Devata Realms have existed for a long time… Although a genius like him is rare, I’m sure he’s not the only monstrous talent to have appeared…”
Ru Lai’s eyes burned feverishly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and thought to himself, ‘I, Great Master Miyan, didn’t even manage to form a Dao after attaining G.o.dhood in the past. After possessing his body using my secret technique, I’ll have his memories and knowledge. At that time, I’ll be able to comprehend the two Daos as well… Duan Ling Tian is truly the best gift from the heavens to me…’
The greed flas.h.i.+ng in Ru Lai’s eyes grew more and more intense as he stared at Duan Ling Tian like the world’s most precious treasure. His thoughts also revealed that he called himself Great Master Miyan.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was instantly alarmed when he felt Ru Lai’s greedy gaze on him. He could sense Ru Lai’s evil intentions even from such a distance.
At this moment, Zhou Shao Kun smiled sincerely as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, I admit defeat. You’re too strong…”
Subsequently, Zhou Shao Kun crushed his jade token and left the battle ring. He did not ask about Duan Ling Tian’s attack since he had heard the fervent discussions in his surroundings.
At the same time, everyone’s attention was focused on Duan Ling Tian as he returned to his seat. How could he not attract everyone’s attention when he not only formed his own s.p.a.ce Sword Dao based on his master’s Destructive Sword Dao but also formed the Mastery Dao?
Soon enough, the crowd began to wonder about Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce. After all, during his two previous challenges, he did not use his law of s.p.a.ce to defeat his opponents. The only profundities he had used from the law of s.p.a.ce were the Teleportation Profundity and the s.p.a.ce Elemental Profundity.
Someone said, “Perhaps, he hasn’t learned how to fuse his profundities…”
Many people refuted these words immediately.
“Nonsense!”
“Impossible! Based on his Celestial Origin Energy, he’s clearly a Nine Palaces Celestial Emperor. Do you think someone with such a profound cultivation base would be unable to fuse profundities? Most importantly, he’s someone who has formed two out of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. How could he not have learned how to fuse his profundities?”
As with the way of the world, there would always be those who disagreed.
Those who doubted Duan Ling Tian spoke up to defend themselves.
“Everyone’s energy is finite. I know Duan Ling Tian has high comprehension skills and is monstrously talented. However, he’s only slightly over 600 years old, after all. It’s natural for him to be limited by his age…”
“That’s right! Moreover, he only ascended to a Devata Realm a few hundred years ago.”
“It’s heaven-defying enough that he manages to form two Daos within a few hundred years. How could he also learn to fuse profundities?”
“There’s even a possibility that he hasn’t comprehended all nine profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce to the highest stage…”
Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian did not care about those who questioned his abilities.
Before Duan Ling Tian could even take a seat, Tang San Pao looked at him with blazing eyes and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, what’s your comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce like?”
“Why do you want to know?”
Tang San Pao said with a chuckle, “If your comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce is only average, I’ll still challenge you even if you’ve formed two of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. However, if your comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce is high as well, I’m not going to challenge you anymore. After all, why would I intentionally seek defeat and embarra.s.s myself? I won’t give that old man a chance to ridicule me! After all, I’ve been teasing him for being defeated by your master.”
Duan Ling Tian was rather amused by Tang San Pao’s words. He felt Tang San Pao was a really interesting character. Just like Zhang Tian You had said, Tang San Pao did possess the bearing of a powerhouse at all; Tang San Pao was the complete opposite of Ling Jue Yun.
In the end, Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile, “You’ll find out if you battle with me…”
