2329 Like a God

Everyone was shocked. Most of them could not see in detail what had happened due to the constraint of their strength. However, the result had stupefied them.

Liao Nai Jiang, a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and their Lord Patriarch's master, had been killed by Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion! Moreover, it seemed like he had been killed with just a strike!

An expression of shock and disbelief could be seen on Yuwen Hao Chen's face. His eyes widened as he looked at the tear in the void near Duan Ling Tian. "He tore the void… How is he so strong?" Based on his knowledge, those who were capable of tearing the void with their attacks were those Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials or stronger! Although Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were strong, they still could not tear a hole in the void. This was also why Liao Nai Jiang had only left distortions in the void when he attacked, he was not strong enough to tear a hole in the void. He found it hard to accept this. 'Duan Ling Tian's current strength is comparable to a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?' Regardless if he accepted it or not, the truth was displayed before everyone's eyes.

Although Yuwen Hao Chen could not clearly see the battle between Duan Ling Tian and Liao Nai Jiang, as an Eminent Celestial, he could vaguely see that Duan Ling Tian had killed Liao Nai Jiang with just a strike after Liao Nai Jiang had attacked with all his might!

'During the critical moment… numerous sword rays surged out of Duan Ling Tian, and he turned into a sword ray as well before it all formed a long white sword. When Liao Nai Jiang approached, the long white sword moved. Its speed was not too fast since I was able to see it. However, the seemingly slow sword managed to tear a hole in the void!' Yuwen Hao Chen felt a jolt of fear when he recalled what had happened. With just a slash, the sword that Duan Ling Tian had seemingly transformed into managed to leave a narrow but long tear in the void.

'Based on the length and width of the tear, Duan Ling Tian seems to be much stronger than a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!' Yuwen Hao Chen thought to himself.

Duan Ling Tian who was standing in the distance had lowered his head to think to himself. After a while, he began to move under everyone's watchful eyes. He simply lifted his hand and a dazzling white sword ray shot out of his palm. It turned into a sword which he then grasped in his hand.

'I feel like I don't have to use any techniques to tear a hole in the void!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he slashed at the void with the white sword that he formed using his Celestial Origin Energy that had been fused with his Saint Origin. He moved at a moderate speed.

Everyone could see Duan Ling Tian's movement.

A crack appeared in the wake of the white sword. However, the size of the crack was nothing compared to the crack earlier. After all, the earlier crack had been torn open when Duan Ling Tian had used his Divine Abilities, martial tactics, and the Sovereign Heart Sword. This crack was torn open with just his inner force.

"How… how's this possible?" When the two leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Halls saw this, they were further stunned by Duan Ling Tian's strength.

"Even a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial can't tear open the void so easily, right?"

"Duan Ling Tian who has just become an Eminent Celestial is seemingly stronger than a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… Am I dreaming?"

"After he became an Eminent Celestial, he had cast an assist-type Divine Ability before his strength rose to this level… I wonder what assist-type Divine Ability it is?"

"If that's the reason his strength rose… His assist-type Divine Ability definitely didn't come from the mundane realm!"

Apart from Yuwen Hao Chen, the other leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Halls were discussing among themselves. They knew how extraordinary Duan Ling Tian's assist-type Divine Ability was. After all, as soon as he had cast the Divine Ability, he had grown much stronger than someone who had just become an Eminent Celestial. Everyone was in a state of disbelief.

'Sword Wielding Art!' White sword rays shot out of Duan Ling Tian's sword and crashed against the void like a white dragon.

Rrripp!

The sound of something being torn could be heard when the white sword ray tore a hole in the void. The space around Duan Ling Tian distorted and seemed like a piece of paper.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As the sword ray continued on its trajectory, the void around Duan Ling Tian was torn apart like a piece of paper. At this moment, he seemed like a god who controlled space as he left tears in his wake.

'Sword Wielding Art from the third stage, the Sword Warding Heart, from the Sovereign Heart Sword, is indeed weaker…'

After fifteen minutes, the tears Duan Ling Tian had slashed open had closed. Only the first crack in the void was still open. It was obvious it needed more time before it closed. He had torn this crack open with the fourth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Sword-Heart Illumination, after all!

'The fourth stage of the Sovereign Hearth Sword, the Sword-Heart Illumination, allows the force in my body and my physical body to form a sword. From now on, I shall call it Body Sword Fusion'!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with eyes as bright as stars. Currently, the Body Sword Fusion was the strongest technique in his arsenal. 'If I combine it with my other sword-type Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, my clones will be able to turn into swords as well!'

'It seems like a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial is not that strong. I don't think I even need to use the fourth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword or the Body Sword Fusion to kill him. I should be able to kill him without using any techniques. After all, I can tear open a hole in the void after casting the Elementary Devouring Tactic and condensing my inner force into sword rays. It's obvious Liao Nai Jiang couldn't even tear a hole in the void after he had cast his strongest technique...' At this moment, Duan Ling Tian realized how much stronger he was compared to Liao Nai Jiang. 'It's truly unexpected that my strength would rise to this level with the Elementary Devouring Tactic after I became an Eminent Celestial!' He was only mildly surprised by this. After all, he had devoured all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Human-Devil Saint City and also one of the two richest Saint Stone reserves in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to improve his Celestial Origin Energy!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

After another fifteen minutes, the crack in the void finally almost closed up.

To the crowd, Duan Ling Tian seemed like a god hovering in that open space.

Ke'er stared at Duan Ling Tian with her glittering eyes, an expression of adoration could be seen on her face. "Brother Tian!"

"Daddy is so amazing," Duan Si Ling, who blindly idolized her father, said.

Meanwhile, Gan Ru Yan looked at Duan Ling Tian with a complicated emotion in her eyes. 'He… is actually so strong…'

When Huang Wen Jing stared at Duan Ling Tian, the emotion in her eyes was even more complex compared to Gan Ru Yan.

"I have no more regrets in my life for having such a master!" Peng Lai said with an expression of pride on his face. Everyone who saw his expression would know Duan Ling Tian was his master.

'Brother Ling Tian…' Although Huang Qi Ling was happy for Duan Ling Tian, he felt ashamed of himself. Therefore, he found it difficult to call out to Duan Ling Tian.

Yun Fu Ye, who was standing next to Huang Wen Jing, stared at Duan Ling Tian in fear.

At this moment, the god-like Duan Ling Tian who was standing in the distance suddenly turned to look at Yang Zhen Xing, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan. He said solemnly, "Patriarch Yang! I apologize. I couldn't stop in time and accidentally killed your master."
