1898 Pressure

Soon after, everyone shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian. The purple-clad young man whom they did not regard highly in the beginning managed to turn the situation around at the most critical moment when he fought against Yang Wu who was at the Mastery Divine Saint Stage and killed him!

Such an unexpected outcome had also given them a fright that they only regained their senses after a long time. After all, all of them were certain the purple-clad young man would be killed by Yang Wu.

"Duan Ling Tian must know some secret tactic that can conceal his cultivation base!" Somebody said loudly.

"This must be the case!" Many people agreed with him.

Although they had never heard of any secret tactic that could conceal one's cultivation base in the Dao Martial Saint Land, they were even more convinced that such a tactic existed after they witnessed Duan Ling Tian's strength.

What a joke!

Based on their probing using their Divine Consciousness, Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base was only at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage.

However, the person whom they discovered to only have a cultivation base at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage could actually destroy the Territory of a Mastery Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator in just one blow while he was heavily injured. Not only that, but he had even forcefully endured the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword that was wielded unreservedly by a Mastery Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. He even overpowered the other party in just a blink of an eye and grasped the other party's life in his hands!

Was this something a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage could do?

"Just now when Yang Wu made his move, he looked half dead. As soon as Yang Wu approached him, he cast a terrifying technique that seemed to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings!"

"I saw that as well! At that time, a whirlpool appeared, and the energy in the surrounding was absorbed by the whirlpool at an extremely fast speed. Standing in the center of the whirlpool was none other than Duan Ling Tian!"

"It's obvious the energy that absorbed into the whirlpool was controlled by Duan Ling Tian. That's the reason why he's still so strong despite being heavily injured. Not only that, but the whirlpool even destroyed Yang Wu's Territory!"

"Such a horrifying technique must be a Divine Ability! Moreover, it must not be a simple Divine Ability! It's most likely a high-grade Divine Ability!"

The crowd discussed among themselves. Their eyes were filled with confusion and shock when they looked at Duan Ling Tian.

"Moreover, the thing he used to block Yang Wu's Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword seemed to be a claw-shaped Saint Weapon!"

"I'm sure that Saint Weapon must be a Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon as well since it was able to withstand the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword!"

Many people began discussing Duan Ling Tian's Dragonized right hand.

Naturally, they did not know Duan Ling Tian had Dragonized his right hand. They thought he had reacted quickly and took out a Saint Weapon and quickly put it away after he was done with it.

"Dragon Warrior?" If there were people who knew the technique Duan Ling Tian had used was Dragonization that allowed him to transform into a Dragon Warrior, it was Teng Shan and Li An.

As the Fire Worship Sect's Silver Flame Elders and the powerhouses who were ranked at the top 200 on the Supreme Saint Ranking, they were strong and possessed eyesight that others could not compare to.

Although it only took Duan Ling Tian a second to Dragonize his right hand before reverting it back to normal, they could tell it was a dragon's hand. As for how many claws his hand had, they did not see it clearly. This was because Duan Ling Tian had quickly reverted his hands back to normal. However, they were certain Duan Ling Tian was a Dragon Warrior!

"I can't believe this little fellow is actually a Dragon Warrior." Teng Shan was happy for Duan Ling Tian when he saw him killing Yang Wu and winning the Death Duel. However, he was still shocked by the fact that Duan Ling Tian's a Dragon Warrior. "It seems like he has some connections with the Seven-clawed Divine Dragons in the dragon clan."

Naturally, he thought Duan Ling Tian was a Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior because he did not see the nine claws on Duan Ling Tian's Dragonized hand! If he found out Duan Ling Tian was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, he would be even more shocked.

"So what if he's a Dragon Warrior? It just so happens that I haven't killed a Dragon Warrior before. It's just the right time for me to try now!" Li An's gaze was cold and filled with killing intent as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

"Thank you, Elder Teng Shan, for maintaining the fairness of the Death Duel!" After killing Yang Wu, Duan Ling Tian ignored the gazes in the surrounding. The first thing he did was to cup both his hands together and expressed his gratitude to Teng Shan.

"You don't have to thank me. As an elder of the Black Turtle Sanctum in the Fire Worship Sect, this is part of my responsibility!" Teng Shan said as he shook his head.

Just like that, it seemed like the incident had finally ended. Naturally, it only seemed as though it had ended. In truth, everything would begin with Yang Wu's death. By killing Yang Wu, Duan Ling Tian had offended many people.

First, he had offended the First Silver Flame Elder of the Black Turtle Sanctum in the Fire Worship Sect. Second, he had offended Yang Chong, the fifth elder of Northern Plethora Sect!

Although the Northern Plethora Sect's elder seemed like he was in a lower position compared to an elder from the Fire Worship Sect, as the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, Yang Chong's influence was in no way inferior to the Silver Flame Elder, Li An, from the Fire Worship Sect. Otherwise, they would not have become good friends.

Due to their status and strength being on par and sharing the same interests, they became good friends.

In addition, as the Northern Plethora Sect's fifth elder, Yang Chong's influence in the Northern Plethora Sect was far superior to Li An's influence in the Fire Worship Sect. In the Fire Worship Sect, Li An was merely one of the many Silver Flames Elders. He only had some influence in the Black Turtle Sanctum, one of the Four Symbols Sanctums, that was in charge of the affairs in the outer ring of the Fire Worship Sect. There was a total of five Silver Flame Elders in the Black Turtle Sanctum, and he was the strongest among them.

"I can't believe I've already offended two Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses so soon after I arrived in the Upper Province…" Duan Ling Tian knew what the consequences were for killing Yang Wu, but he still killed him anyway.

Being overly cautious was not Duan Ling Tian's style!

Not only that, but he also knew very well that even if he did not kill Yang Wu, Li An would not let him go. By killing Yang Wu, he merely offended another Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse who was more or less the same as Li An.

To him, there was not much difference in offending one or two Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses!

"Tsk tsk… Two Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses! What a huge pressure! It's been a while since I last felt such an enormous pressure! Looks like after I've wormed my way into the Fire Worship Sect and become one of their members, I'll have to make use of my time to raise my strength." Although Duan Ling Tian was not afraid, he had offended two Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses so he still felt pressured by it.

'Currently, Elder Huo must be almost done with repairing the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. As long as the fourth level is repaired, not only will I have a better cultivation environment, but I'll have a place to hide as well!' The moment Duan Ling Tian thought of this, he became slightly excited.

At this moment, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had only been repaired up to the third level.

Although the cultivation environment on the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite was quite good, it was more or less similar to the cultivation environment in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. The only advantage he had was the time flow inside was five times slower than it was outside. Five days inside was equivalent to only one day outside.

However, once the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was repaired, in addition to having a better cultivation environment, the time flow would be even slower inside.

According to Elder Huo, the time flow inside the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite was eight times slower than it was outside! Eight days inside was equivalent to only one day outside.

Just this alone was enough to fill Duan Ling Tian with determination to repair it no matter what it took.

Apart from that, there was another thing that Duan Ling Tian was looking forward to as well.

According to Elder Huo, once the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was repaired, the space inside would stabilize. No matter how huge the commotion outside was, he would not be impacted by it if he hid inside. It was different from how it was now where he would be sent out immediately if there was even the slightest movement outside.

'If the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda has been repaired, if I encounter a situation where I'm unable to fight, I can at least hide myself! As long as I hide in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and transform the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda into a speck of dust, the other party won't be able to find me!' The moment Duan Ling Tian thought of this, he felt another rush of excitement.

If he encountered a difficult situation, this could be considered as having a protective talisman that could be used over and over again.

More and more people gathered in the Black Turtle Sanctum.

After Duan Ling Tian returned to Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi's side, other people also began to disperse.

They did not forget the purpose they had come here today. It was to participate in the selection of elite disciples by the Four Symbols Sanctum, including the Black Turtle Sanctum!

Those who came today were mostly natives of the Western Region who regarded the Fire Worship Sect as their religion. They wanted to become a member of the Fire Worship Sect.

To them, it was the highest honor!

Gu Li looked at the ancient figure that was getting smaller and smaller in the distance. He said to Duan Ling Tian, "Junior Brother Ling Tian, the old man who followed behind Yang Wu has left with Yang Wu's body. He must be returning to the Northern Plethora Sect to report this incident."

"Let him be," Duan Ling Tian replied nonchalantly. That old man was a Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to stop the old man. Even if he could stop him, news of him killing Yang Wu would eventually reach the Northern Plethora Sect.

As the number of people increased, noon had finally arrived.

Behind the range of mountains where the Black Turtle Sanctum's estate was situated, a group of people had gathered in the sky in a formidable formation. From afar, they looked like black clouds that hung above a city.

Currently, everyone's attention was directed at the people standing high up in the sky.

There were eight people. Among the eight people, there were old men, old women, middle-aged men, young men, and young women. Teng Shan and Li An were among these people.
