Chapter 829: Pleasantly Surprising Breakthrough!
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytorEditor: JayC
As soon as the overbearing medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill flowed out, it combined flawlessly with the Origin Energy in Duan Ling Tian's body and resisted the foreign formidable strength within his body.
With the addition of the Rebirth Pill's medicinal strength, the Origin Energy in Duan Ling Tian's body seemed as if it was assisted by the gods and easily annihilated the foreign energy.
Subsequently, the overbearing medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill started to return to hiding in the depths of Duan Ling Tian's Dantian.
Of course, a large portion of it had completely fused into the Origin Energy in Duan Ling Tian's body after fighting side by side earlier, causing Duan Ling Tian's Origin Energy to expand, and it seemed as if it was injected with a stimulant as it fiercely charged forward.
Bang!
A light bang resounded out, and Duan Ling Tian's bottleneck that led to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage and hadn't shown any movement for a long time broke with a crack.
Instantly, Duan Ling Tian's Origin Energy underwent a transformation.
Third level of the Void Interpretation Stage!
"I've broken through?" When he noticed the changes in his body, Duan Ling Tian's feelings surged because he knew that he'd succeeded, he'd succeeded in relying on the strength from before to break through to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
"Hmm?" In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian was stunned once more because he noticed that the violent Origin Energy in his body continued charging forward without losing momentum in the slightest after charging through the bottleneck to advance to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
"This is…" After noticing this, Duan Ling Tian's pupils constricted, and he didn't hesitate in the slightest to circulate the mental cultivation method of the Sword Dragon Form.
His Origin Energy flashed out fiercely while completely being moved forward by the overbearing medicinal strength left behind by the Rebirth Pill, and it seemed as if it had gone berserk and utterly didn't know how to stop.
Instantly, Duan Ling Tian noticed to his shock that after he broke through to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage, the bottleneck that led towards the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage had formed.
Bang!
Duan Ling Tian hadn't even had the time to think when the bottleneck that led to the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage was blasted open, whereas, Duan Ling Tian's Origin Energy underwent a transformation once more.
Meanwhile, the speed of the Origin Energy moved by the overbearing medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill had finally slowed down, yet it still showed no signs of stopping.
Finally, after the bottleneck that led to the fifth level of the Void Interpretation Stage appeared, his Origin Energy completely went quiet, whereas the medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill in his Origin Energy was completely exhausted as well.
"Two levels?" Duan Ling Tian was stunned, utterly stunned.
He originally intended to use the strength of Qi Feng's arrow to take a risk and arouse the medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill in his body to charge through the bottleneck that led to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
But unexpectedly, he'd still underestimated the medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill.
The medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill directly mobilized his Origin Energy and allowed him to break through twice successively, and he broke through to the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage in one go!
Moreover, it was at the end of the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage and had directly formed the bottleneck that led to the fifth level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
In other words, if he advanced a step further, he would be able to break through to the fifth level of the Void Interpretation Stage!
A pleasant surprise came so swiftly, and it caused Duan Ling Tian to be slightly unable to recover from it.
Only when a wave of ear piercing sounds entered his ears and his throat felt as if it had been locked on to that Duan Ling Tian didn't have the time to look yet could guess what had happened.
Qi Feng's second arrow had arrived!
Without any hesitation, a sword appeared out of thin air with the raise of his hand, and it was a sword that emitted a terrifying aura.
Sword Drawing Arts!
At this moment, what Duan Ling Tian had to do was to stop Qi Feng's arrow and not launch an attack, so he didn't utilize the Nine Dragon's Radiant Flash but used the most straightforward Sword Drawing Arts.
As soon as his sword swept out, the vast Origin Energy from Duan Ling Tian's breakthrough instantly gushed into the sword, and his second level Intermediate Wind Concept fused into his Origin Energy at the same time.
Swish!
The sword Duan Ling Tian withdrew in a hurry was the Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword, and when combined with the fourth level Void Interpretation Stage Origin Energy he possessed now, it mobilized the strength of 120 ancient horned dragons!
Half of them was the energy contained in his fourth level Void Interpretation Stage Origin Energy, and the other half was the amplification strength of the Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword.
It wasn't just that, there was also the strength of 30 ancient horned dragons from Duan Ling Tian's second level Intermediate Wind Concept.
When both of them were added together, it was the strength of an entire 150 ancient horned dragons.
It practically just happened to be equal to the strength contained on Qi Feng's arrow, so the outcome was obvious.
The arrow shattered on contact with the sword, and a terrifying strength swept out from the collision, causing terrifying waves of air to shoot out into the surroundings.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
The terrifying violet winds swept out in all directions, causing some young geniuses with comparatively lower cultivations to be unable to help but narrow their eyes.
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian who was at the center of the storm stood without moving.
The sword in his hand had already been put away, and the sword light that shot out like a bolt of lightning earlier had been completely extinguished after shattering Qi Feng's arrow.
The energy of the heavens and earth that fluctuated mightily in the sky was unable to condense into the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth in the end.
"Hu!" Duan Ling Tianm who noticed that he didn't expose the Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Right when everyone including Qi Feng was dumbstruck, Duan Ling Tian moved.
Whirlwind!
The direction Duan Ling Tian flashed out towards was precisely the location of Qi Feng.
Thousand Illusions!
This time, the Spiritual Force Duan Ling Tian mobilized was tremendously different from the Spiritual Force from before.
After he broke through to the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage, his Spiritual Force had broken through to the sixth level of the Void Interpretation Stage along with this, so the illusory space constructed by his soul skill, Thousand Illusions, now was even more solid than before.
In the next moment, the illusory space had already enveloped Qi Feng.
Subsequently, under the dumbstruck gazes of the surrounding spectators, Duan Ling Tian whose blood still flowed out from the corners of his mouth had flashed to arrive by Qi Feng's side.
Under the circumstances that Qi Feng didn't react in the slightest, he struck out with his palm and heavily injured Qi Feng.
The illusory space shattered after this.
"Ah!" Qi Feng's countenance was pale, and his body shook before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
When he saw Duan Ling Tian who stood nearby, a wisp of bitterness arose on his face. "You… You've broken through?"
"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded indifferently. It was because Qi Feng had clearly explained the sequence of events to him earlier, otherwise he would absolutely not have held back.
As for the two arrows that Qi Feng shot out without holding back in the slightest, Duan Ling Tian didn't blame him.
A person like Qi Feng would only attack with full strength once deciding to make a move.
Perhaps in his mind, there was utterly no word called 'mercy.'
Moreover, Qi Feng had once persuaded him to admit defeat, and it was he who didn't admit defeat and asked Qi Feng to make a move against him.
It could be said that even if he died this time, he would have died to his arrogance and conceit, and not at Qi Feng's hands. Because Qi Feng had already clearly said that he didn't want to kill him.
It was he who forced Qi Feng to make a move!
Fortunately, he made the right bet and didn't die.
"You… You had the intention of relying on my strength to break through since the beginning?" Qi Feng took a deep breath and asked once more.
"You're very smart." Duan Ling Tian smiled lightly, and then he soared up into the sky to look at Ning Can who had a livid expression before speaking with a clear voice. "Vice Fort Master Ning, thank you… If it wasn't for you that asked Qi Feng to 'temper' me, I wouldn't have successfully broken through so quickly."
Duan Ling Tian especially placed emphasis on the word 'temper.'
"Hmph!" Ning Can grunted coldly as he was naturally able to discern the ridicule within Duan Ling Tian's words.
Never had he imagined that he originally wanted to make Qi Feng kill Duan Ling Tian, yet who knew that it would help Duan Ling Tian in the end instead, allowing Duan Ling Tian to complete a break through at the most critical moment?
When he recalled the manner Duan Ling Tian shattered Qi Feng's arrow with the raise of his hand, Ning Can was slightly unable to wrap his head around it even until now.
Even if Duan Ling Tian broke through, he seems to be only at the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage, right?
How did he shatter Qi Feng's arrow with a third level Void Interpretation Stage cultivation?
He didn't suspect that Qi Feng had held back because the arrow Qi Feng shot out had the silhouettes of 151 ancient horned dragons following behind it.
That was Qi Feng's full strength!
"Looks like there are many secrets in this Duan Ling Tian's possession…" Ning Can thought to himself.
After ridiculing Ning Can, Duan Ling Tian glanced at Feng Wei, who had an unsightly expression, before looking at the nearby Zi Shang and saying via voice transmission. "Zi Shang, you're surely extremely disappointed now, right?"
Zi Shang's face sank when he heard Duan Ling Tian, and he replied bluntly via voice transmission. "Duan Ling Tian, don't be complacent! Even if you're able to survive at Qi Feng's hand, you're bound to be unable to live for long."
"Then we'll see who lives longer." Duan Ling Tian glanced deeply at Zi Shang before returning to the side of Feng Tian Wu and the others.
"Tian Wu, Uncle Feng, Su Li, Big Brother Zhang… Sorry, I made all of you worry." Duan Ling Tian looked apologetically at the four people before him.
Actually, he'd heard all the ceaseless voice transmissions from the four of them, but because his was in a state of extreme concentration, so he was utterly unable to reply.
"Duan Ling Tian, you really scared us." Su Li laughed bitterly and then said, "Next time, tell us beforehand if you want to take a risk, so that we're mentally prepared… You didn't see it earlier, Young Miss Tian Wu…"
"Hmph!" Feng Tian Wu grunted coldly to interrupt Su Li, and then she looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked with concern. "Big Brother Duan, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I've only suffered some light injuries." Duan Ling Tian shook his head. After he consumed a healing medicinal pill earlier, the injuries in his meridians and internal organs had already almost recovered.
"That sword strike of his from before was extremely extraordinary." In the distant sky, Hui Ming who stared fixedly at Duan Ling Tian from afar spoke with a serious expression. "That strike was actually able to rival Qi Feng's arrow, and it indicated that it at least possesses the strength of 150 ancient horned dragons."
"The strength of 150 ancient horned dragons?" Hui Jing said in surprise, "Is this possible? Even if Duan Ling Tian broke through, he'd have only broken through to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage. How could he possibly possess such a formidable strength?"
"Perhaps this is the strength of a Variant." Hui Ming continued.
"It can only be explained in this way." Hui Jing nodded.
"Duan Ling Tian, you really didn't disappoint me… I look forward extremely to the battle between us in the near future." The young monk muttered to himself, and then his voice transmission shot out to pierce into Duan Ling Tian's ears.
