Chapter 3585: Sorry, I Have Them As Well
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the ball of flames drew closer, Duan Ling Tian watched what looked like a rope shooting toward the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword as well, joining in the fight. With that, all Five Divine Elements were present. Moreover, the Five Divine Elements were in their eighth form, very close to evolving to their ninth form.
The ninth form was the final form of the Five Divine Elements. From there, if they progressed any further, they would obtain a soul and form a physical body. Following that, the essence of their elements would be scattered throughout various places as first-form Divine Elements.
“I didn’t expect to be the last to arrive!” The person who had just arrived was dressed in a red robe. His entire person was shrouded in flames, concealing his appearance.
With just a glance, Duan Ling Tian knew the newcomer was deliberately hiding his appearance. This meant that the newcomer must be famous outside of the Nine Serenities Battlefield.
As for the others, they must have disguised their appearances as well. If not, it was likely that they were not known outside of the Nine Serenities Battlefield. Otherwise, they would not have openly revealed their Divine Elements.
After all, even G.o.ds coveted the Divine Elements, let alone eighth-form Divine Elements that were close to evolving to their ninth form.
“Shou Huo, you haven’t returned to the Nine Serenities Battlefield for a long time. I didn’t think you’d intentionally make a trip here. I guess even you can’t resist the prominent divine artifact,” the yellow-clad woman who possessed the World Cleansing Divine Water said.
“Han Xuan, you couldn’t resist coming as well, right?” Shou Huo, the figure shrouded in flames, said.
“I just arrived. Yang Meng, He Chun Li, and Tan Jin arrived before I did,” Han Xuan said as she glanced at the trio nearby with a small smile on her face.
“I didn’t expect all of us would gather like this…” Tan Jin, the young man who possessed the Profound Divine Metal, said with a smile, “This is the first time we’re all gathered at one place.”
“Indeed.” Yang Meng nodded. At this point, he had stopped fighting with He Chun Li. After all, if they continued fighting, it would only be beneficial to the other three who arrived later.
“I guess none of us are going to give up on this prominent divine artifact,” He Chun Li said. Then, she s.h.i.+fted her eyes to Duan Ling Tian as she continued to say, “However, before anything else, don’t you think we should make sure the original owner is dead first. After all, we can’t make the prominent divine artifact acknowledge us as long as its owner is alive. It’d be pointless for us to fight over a sword with an owner.”
He Chun Li’s words instantly made Duan Ling Tian everyone’s target.
“I agree.” Yang Meng was the first to speak up. His gaze turned icier as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
Following that, Tan Jin nodded. From the moment he appeared until now, he maintained a faint smile on his face. Despite his harmless appearance, he could not conceal the coldness and fierceness flas.h.i.+ng in the depths of his eyes.
“I have no objections!” Han Xuan chimed in.
“Alright, then we’ll kill him first,” Shou Huo, who had just arrived, said with a nod.
At the same time, countless beasts appeared behind Shou Huo at this moment, lined up in neat rows like well-trained soldiers. They growled and roared, looking ferocious and intimidating. Similar to Shou Huo, they were shrouded in flames as well.
“He didn’t change at all. Apart from him, who else brings a troop of beasts with them when they leave home?” Yang Meng shook his head.
Tan Jin laughed. “Yang Meng, Shou Huo’s beasts aren’t illusions. Have you forgotten how the beasts breached your defenses the last time you fought Shou Huo?”
Yang Meng scoffed. “That’s only because I didn’t avoid his beasts. Otherwise, how could they have breached my defenses.”
“Nevertheless, you can’t deny the beasts are strong,” Tan Jin said with a chuckle.
At this moment, the Seven Orifices Exquisite was completely restrained by the five eighth-form Divine Elements. It could not move an inch, let alone help Duan Ling Tian.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian was being surrounded by the five owners of the Divine Elements who were also powerful Nine Star G.o.ds of War.
Apart from that, there was also a troop of beasts waiting to pounce on Duan Ling Tian. All of them stared at Duan Ling Tian intently, ready to pounce if he moved just the slightest bit.
Yang Meng said with a sigh, “Duan Ling Tian, the only true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. He’s not even 700 years old. I don’t think there’s such a young Nine Star G.o.d of War in the history of all Devata Realms, let alone the Nine Serenities Battlefield.”
“Indeed. His achievements are unprecedented in both the Devata Realms and the Nine Serenities Battlefield.” Tan Jin nodded.
“A Nine Star G.o.d of War who’s not even 700 years old. If it weren’t for the prominent divine artifact, I wouldn’t be able to bear killing him,” He Chun Li with a slight hint of regret.
“For him to die in our hands, his death won’t be in vain,” Han Xuan said.
Upon hearing the other four’s words, Shou Hou scoffed. “So what if he’s a genius? He’s still going to die today. I wonder if my pets will improve after devouring such a peerless genius. How exciting!”
The flames around Shou Hou surged higher after he finished speaking.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian’s expression was not as grim as one would expect when surrounded by five powerful Nine Stars G.o.ds of War. In fact, a small smile could be seen on his face at this moment as he swept his gaze across the five people around him.
“How can you still smile at this moment?” Yang Meng, who noticed the smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face, asked, puzzled. Then, he said mockingly, “Don’t tell you’re so frightened that you’ve turned dumb?”
Duan Ling Tian did not respond to Yang Meng’s words. Instead, he said, “All of you are finally here.”
The five people were stunned and baffled by Duan Ling Tian’s words.
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “Before entering the Nine Serenities Battlefield, I’ve heard of the five strongest Nine Stars G.o.ds of War who each possess Divine Elements with high forms. Unless one’s confident, one wouldn’t simply reveal the Divine Elements. I’m sure all of you must have once kept a low profile to grow stronger. To reveal your Divine Elements now, all of you must be really confident about your strength…”
The five Nine Stars G.o.ds of War frowned, not knowing what Duan Ling Tian was getting at.
Shou Huo bluntly said, “Since you’re aware we’re the strongest Nine Stars G.o.ds of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield, you should surrender to fate and die. Don’t tell me you plan to fight us. Otherwise, you might not even have a corpse left after my beasts and I are done with you.”
“I’ve been waiting for all of you for a long time…” Duan Ling Tian continued to say with a smile.
The five Nine Stars G.o.ds of War were still puzzled by Duan Ling Tian’s words and smile when Duan Ling Tian suddenly leaped into the air and pushed both his hands out.
In just a moment, the silhouette of a huge tree appeared behind him and solidified into the Pine Willow Divine Tree’s G.o.dly Phenomenon. Following that, a vast energy began to surge, stirring up a vortex with Duan Ling Tian at its center.
Yang Meng and the others thought the energy was strange, but they did not feel anything else. It did not affect their bodies or souls at all.
“What is he doing?”
Despite not feeling anything out of the ordinary, the five people naturally knew that Duan Ling Tian would not do this without reason. The more they could not sense anything strange from the energy, the more uneasy they felt. It did not take long before an ominous feeling rose in each of their hearts.
At this moment, He Chun Li suddenly cried out, “Look. Our Divine Elements…”
When the others turned over to look, they saw their Divine Elements were no longer restraining the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. At this time, the Five Divine Elements were shooting toward Duan Ling Tian. When they arrived near Duan Ling Tian, they began to revolve around the Pine Willow Divine Tree’s G.o.dly Phenomenon. It looked as though five streams of ribbons were twining around the tree at this moment.
“What’s happening?” Yang Meng’s expression turned grim immediately. “I… I can’t communicate with my Chaos Divine Earth!”
“Me too! I’ve lost connection with my World Cleansing Divine Water!” Han Xuan’s expression changed drastically.
Similarly, the others also discovered they seemed to have been cut off from their respective Divine Elements.
“What kind of technique is this?”
All of them looked at Duan Ling Tian with horrified expressions on their faces as Duan Ling Tian brought the Seven Orifices Exquisite back to his side with a wave of his hand. With that, his aura and energy grew even more formidable.
Following that, Duan Ling Tian’s lips curled up into a smirk as he looked at the five strongest Nine Stars G.o.ds of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield and said, “Five Divine Elements? Sorry, I have them as well.”
