The dragon clan's members were amazed upon discovering the existence of a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in their clan. Previously, all of them thought their patriarch was only an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. This was truly unexpected.
"Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Lord Patriarch is a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?"
"Lord Patriarch is truly a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?"
"Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! That's the strongest existence in the mundane realms. They are extremely rare. To think there's a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in our dragon clan!"
"Incredible! Truly incredible!"
"Who could have known?"
"To think the patriarch is a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!"
"I… I'm not dreaming, am I? Now that the Devil Clans have invaded the Upper Province, if our patriarch makes a move, won't the Devil Clans retreat with their tails between their legs to the Land of Exile?"
"I agree. Based on how rare Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials are, I honestly think it's unlikely for the Devil Clans to have a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial as well."
Many members of the dragon clan eagerly anticipated watching their patriarch driving the Devil Clans back to the Land of Exile. At that time, the patriarch of the dragon clan and the clan would be revered as the savior of the Saint Province Realm! They felt their emotion stirred when they thought about this. After all, they had all dreamed of becoming heroes in this time of crisis. Although they would only be basking in the glory of their patriarch, they still felt excited.
On the other hand, among the members of the dragon clan, only the two Supreme Elders maintained their composure at this reveal. After all, as the Supreme Elders of the dragon clan and Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, there were many instances where they had met the patriarch. They were, naturally, privy to a lot of matters. They, including Di Huan who had just been killed, had long known about their patriarch's cultivation base.
Upon seeing the expression of surprise on the patriarch's face, Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently, "Is it strange that I'm able to tell you're a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?"
"Is it not strange?" The dragon clan's patriarch narrowed his eyes that were flashing coldly. "Not only are you able to discern my cultivation base, but you, a mere Eminent Celestial, managed to kill my clan's Supreme Elder who was a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!" His gaze turned pointed after he finished speaking.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian remained calm even when he saw the dragon clan's patriarch's cold gaze.
At this time, the members of the dragon clan, including the two Supreme Elders, were baffled after listening to their patriarch's words. They could vaguely sense that Duan Ling Tian, the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, was a genius.
"That's right. Duan Ling Tian's only an Eminent Celestial, how did he manage to discern our patriarch's cultivation base?"
"Normally, an Eminent Celestial's Divine Consciousness can't even compare to that of a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, and Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestials are definitely not capable of discerning the cultivation base of a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. How did Duan Ling Tian do it?
"Duan Ling Tian is, indeed, strange. Are all the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect so strange?"
Upon hearing the dragon clan's patriarch's words, Duan Ling Tian nodded as he said, "Well, when you put it that way, it does sound strange." He paused momentarily for dramatic effects before he said, "So, what are you going to do? Are you going to throw your life away to avenge Di Huan? Or are you going to publicly make an announcement that the dragon clan will no longer antagonize the Seven Absolutes Sect?"
As Duan Ling Tian spoke, the dragon clan's members' expressions changed drastically. What did Duan Ling Tian mean when he said their patriarch would be throwing his life away if their patriarch tried to avenge Di Huan? Not only that, but he even had the audacity to demand their patriarch to announce that the dragon clan would no longer antagonize the Seven Absolutes Sect! Did Duan Ling Tian think he was like the Celestials in the Devata Realms who were stronger than a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?
'He's insane! Duan Ling Tian is out of his mind!'
'The patriarch is a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, the strongest existence in the mundane realms. Where did he get his courage from, to speak in such a manner?'
'Does he think he's invincible just because he managed to kill Elder Di Huan?'
Although most of the members from the dragon clan, including the two Supreme Elders, acknowledged Duan Ling Tian's strength since he had easily killed their Supreme Elder, Di Huan, they did not think he was stronger than their patriarch. Their patriarch was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, the strongest existence in the mundane realms, who could threaten such an existence?
Meanwhile, the expression of the dragon clan's patriarch darkened when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. Although he had lived for 10,000 years, he could not suppress his rage at all. "Duan Ling Tian! I'll kill you today to avenge Di Huan. I like to see how you, an Eminent Celestial, are going to kill a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial like me!"
The patriarch's voice had barely faded away when a vast energy surged out from his body, leaving terrifying tears in the void. The tears looked like dragons flying in the air.
The members of the dragon clan, including the two Supreme Elders, were in awe of their patriarch's display of strength. None of them had seen a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in action before. Some of the members from the dragon clan with a weaker cultivation base were sent flying by the shockwave from the energy that surged out their patriarch. They could only watch from the distance as he prepared to attack Duan Ling Tian.
"T-this… This is the power of a Nine Tribulations Bodiless Celestial?"
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he saw the energy surging out of the body of the dragon clan's patriarch. "It seems like you intend on fighting me." As soon as he finished speaking, his Celestial Sword appeared in his hand. It shone dazzlingly when he sent his energy into it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the sword rays flowed and ebbed, the sounds of sword whistling in the air rang clearly and deafeningly.
Upon seeing the Celestial Sword, the patriarch's eyes gleamed greedily and his breathing hitched from the excitement. It was obvious he could not wait to claim the Celestial Sword as his own. "As expected of the legendary Celestial Supreme Treasure!"
When Duan Ling Tian saw the covetous look in the dragon clan's patriarch's eyes, he chuckled. "What? Did you take a liking to my Celestial Sword? Well, if you want it, all you have to do is kill me!"
The dragon clan's patriarch scoffed. "There's no need for you to remind me to kill you. I'll avenge Di Huan and snatch your Celestial Supreme Treasure today!"
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes, his smile had vanished completely. "I'm waiting for you."
Boom!
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the patriarch of the dragon clan made a move immediately. The void in his vicinity seemed to have caved in as the tears that looked like dragons continued to appear in the void.
