War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 2322: Peerless!
The Human-Devil Saint City occupied a vast area. However, Duan Ling Tian managed to absorb all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Human-Devil Saint City in just a few moments. The sudden disappearance of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy, naturally, caused a huge commotion in the Human-Devil Saint City. Those who were in closed-door cultivation were heavily affected by this. In the first place, it was not easy to make a breakthrough. Now that their cultivation had been forcefully interrupted, who knew when they would be able to find another chance to make a breakthrough?
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of the commotion he had caused in the Human-Devil Saint City by casting Elementary Devouring Tactic. However, even if he knew the effect and the commotion he had caused, he would not feel guilty. After all, everyone in the Human-Devil Saint City was from the Human-Devil clan that was part of the Devil Clans. They were enemies to humans.
…
In the Wandering Saint Palace’s estate.
At this moment, the Penta-color Sunglow was about to disappear. Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly as he thought to himself, ‘Something’s wrong! Logically speaking, it’s impossible for my Celestial Origin Energy to improve so quickly even if I devour all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Human-Devil Saint City. After all, I’m still in the Lower Province, not the Upper Province…’
The Celestial Origin Energy was superior to all energies in the mundane realm. It should have been impossible for him to improve his Celestial Origin Energy so much just by absorbing all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Human-Devil Saint City!
‘Could it be…’ At this moment, Duan Ling Tian suddenly thought of something. He quickly extended his Divine Consciousness toward the heart of the Human-Devil Saint City that was located underground. His body trembled when he discovered the reason his Celestial Origin Energy had improved so much. ‘Indeed! After I absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Human-Devil Saint City, I-I’ve absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Saint Stone reserve that used to belong to the Azure Cloud Mansion as well! It used to be a huge Saint Stone reserve… Now it’s nothing but rocks!’
‘The Saint Stone reserve used to belong to the Azure Cloud Mansion. In the Lower Province, only the Saint Stone reserve in the Mountainshade Black Market is comparable to it… To think I drained it so quickly with the Elementary Devouring Tactic after years and years of being a source of power in the Lower Province! The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy it contained is much more superior than 100 or 1000 Human-Devil Saint Cities!’ He finally figured out why his Celestial Origin Energy had improved so much and so quickly. Not only did he absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Human-Devil Saint City, but he had also absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from the Saint Stone reserve.
…
The spectators from Three Palaces and Six Halls who were standing around Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen began to speculate among themselves. At this moment, most of them began to realize the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy had gotten extremely thin.
“What happened?”
“What’s going on? How come the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy is so thin all of a sudden?”
“Is this part of the phenomenon when a new Eminent Celestial appears? It can’t be… I’ve never heard of such a thing…”
“Perhaps, the emergence of two Eminent Celestials is the cause of it? After all, in the history of the Devil Clans, we have never had two new Eminent Celestials emerging at once.”
“Wow! We’re watching history being made at this moment!”
“That should be the reason for this.”
…
Naturally, there were people who were more astute. These people included the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, and the leaders and high-ranking officials from the Three Palaces and Six Halls.
“Did he cast an assist-type Divine Ability?” Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, seemed to be aware of it as well.
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan scoffed when he saw this. “It seems like he knows I’ll strike the moment the Penta-color Sunglow disappears, and he’s preparing himself… How unfortunate that it’s futile…”
The others agreed with him.
“So what if he’s prepared? He still won’t be able to escape death!”
“Since his opponent is Lord Patriarch, he won’t be able to survive regardless of how he prepares himself for it!”
The leaders from the Three Palaces and Six Halls sneered as they discussed among themselves.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After a few moments, two gusts of wind began to blow as the two beams of Penta-color Sunglow slowly disappeared, revealing Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen.
As soon as the two beams of Penta-color Sunglow disappeared, Yuwen Hao Chen’s piercing gaze landed on Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian!” Saint Origin mixed with Celestial Origin Energy began to roll off his body at this moment. He seemed to have transformed into an ancient beast, ready to devour Duan Ling Tian!
Nevertheless, Duan Ling Tian completely ignored Yuwen Hao Chen. He did not even spare him a glance. As soon as the Penta-color Sunglow disappeared, his attention was solely focused on the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan.
“Duan Ling Tian, you even made preparations in advance… Do you really think you’ll be a match for me after casting an assist-type Divine Ability?” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan stared at Duan Ling Tian intently as he scoffed. Previously, when he discovered Duan Ling Tian was able to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, he was slightly apprehensive about facing Duan Ling Tian once he had become an Eminent Celestial. However, all his apprehensions had melted away and he became fearless when he saw that Duan Ling Tian would no longer be able to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior! So what if Duan Ling Tian cast an assist-type Divine Ability? He had those as well!
When Duan Ling Tian heard the patriarch’s words, he smiled indifferently. “A match for you?” He lifted his hand and the short-lived sound of wind howling could be heard immediately.
Swish!
At this moment, waves and waves of terrifying aura rolled off Duan Ling Tian’s body. Before the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan could react, Duan Ling Tian had already grabbed someone and dragged the person in front of him.
The patriarch of the Human-Devil clan only regained his senses when the person was in front of Duan Ling Tian. His expression changed immediately when he saw the person.
Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, turned deathly-pale when he regained his senses. “This…” From the beginning until the end, he did not see Duan Ling Tian move at all!
The person whom Duan Ling Tian caught was none other than Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace. Duan Ling Tian caught him with such ease like a cat toying with a mouse.
The others began to regain their senses as well…
They watched in horror and awe as Shi Nan Feng who was on his knees struggled to stand. They seemed as though they had just seen a ghost!
Among the people present, the person who felt the worst was undoubtedly Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace. A few moments ago, when Duan Ling Tian had lifted his hand into the air, he had felt a peerless energy shrouding him before he could even react. The peerless energy had suppressed his Saint Origin as it pulled him forward. He was completely powerless. When he regained his senses, he found himself in a different location as the peerless energy forced him to his knees. The person standing before him was the person whom he wished would die. It was Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion! He was furious! He clenched his teeth and tried to stand up, but he failed miserably. Under the peerless energy, he could not even mobilize his Saint Origin.
‘How’s this possible?! No matter how powerful an Eminent Celestial is, he or she shouldn’t be able to overpower me with such ease!’ Apart from shock, fear began to rise rapidly in Shi Nan Feng’s heart.
Duan Ling Tian’s strength after becoming an Eminent Celestial was clearly stronger than normal.
“H-How did this happen?”
“I-is that really Palace Master Shi of Great Spirit Palace?”
“Goodness! Duan Ling Tian has gotten so strong… Is this the strength of an Eminent Celestial?”
“No! An Eminent Celestial is undoubtedly powerful, but it should not be to this point! After all, Palace Master Shi is still a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had almost completely comprehended heaven and earth. No matter how strong the Eminent Celestial is, it’s impossible for them to overpower him so easily!”
A horrified expression could be seen on the faces of those from the Three Palaces and Six Halls as they discussed among themselves. Shock and disbelief could be heard in their voices.
After all, Shi Nan Feng was one of the leaders of the nine strongest forces in the Human-Devil clan. However, he was just like an ant before the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. He could not even stand…
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian made a surprising discovery. The assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, that he had cast did not slow down at all as he continued to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. In fact, it had gotten even faster. ‘How’s this possible? It seems like it has gotten even faster! It must be the Celestial Origin Energy boosting the Elementary Devouring Tactic!”
Duan Ling Tian discovered as his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, improved his Celestial Origin Energy, the Celestial Origin Energy, in turn, boosted the assist-type Divine Ability as well. It was an endless circle!
‘I think… I think I’ve hit the limit of what the Elementary Devouring Tactic is capable of!’ After a while, Duan Ling Tian discovered the Elementary Devouring Tactic had stopped absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. However, this did not mean there was no more room for improvement in his Celestial Origin Energy. It only stopped improving because the Elementary Devouring Tactic had reached its limit.
When Duan Ling Tian inspected the Celestial Origin Energy in his body, he was filled with confidence. ‘Regardless, with my current Celestial Origin Energy, it’s more than enough to defeat the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan!’ If the Celestial Origin Energy in Duan Ling Tian’s body earlier was likened to a stream, then his current Celestial Origin Energy was similar to a great river! It could not be compared at all!
‘It took three breaths for the Elementary Devouring Tactic to reach maximum capacity! Moreover, I didn’t go all out in the beginning. If I did, it’ll probably only take two breaths for me to devour all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Human-Devil Saint City and the Saint Stone reserve!’
With the vast Celestial Origin Energy in him, Duan Ling Tian felt an explosive energy coursing through his body. He felt as though he could tear the void open and destroy everything with just a casual wave of his hands!
…
“The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy… is almost completely gone?”
Everyone, including those from the Three Palaces and Six Halls, discovered the lack of Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in their surroundings. Even those in the Human-Devil Saint City who were in closed-door cultivation had been awakened. They were confused.
“Why did the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy disappear suddenly?”
“The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy seemed to have disappeared completely in just an instant… It’ll gradually come back, but the speed is extremely slow. How are we going to cultivate when the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy is so thin?”
“What the hell is happening?!”
