Duan Ling Tian's biggest advantage was his speed. Every Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple present on the scene knew this very well.
Currently, they could tell Zhang Ji's speed was much faster than Duan Ling Tian and the gap between them was closing. In their opinion, the battle was going to end soon.
"I can't believe Senior Brother Zhang Ji's speed is actually this fast! Although Duan Ling Tian's speed is much faster compared to ten days ago, it can't compare to Senior Brother Zhang Ji!"
"Actually, Duan Ling Tian's current speed can't be considered as slow. His speed is comparable to that of an ordinary Early Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator! It's just that his opponent now is not an ordinary Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse. It's Senior Brother Zhang Ji, an elite powerhouse among all Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses!"
"Looks like Senior Brother Zhang Ji is merely a step away from breaking through to the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage after coming out of his closed-door cultivation. Otherwise, his speed wouldn't be this fast!"
The Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples whispered among themselves. They were all in low spirits and had begun to lose interest.
Initially, they thought they would be able to witness an exciting fight. Who knew the fight would end so quickly?
"To think I intentionally came out of my closed-door cultivation for this. How disappointing!" Many Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples complained. Some of them had put their cultivation on hold to watch this fight.
However, a voice rang in their ears at this moment and lifted their spirits immediately.

"Do you really think this is as fast as I can go?" The voice was cold. It belonged to none other than Duan Ling Tian.
The moment he finished speaking, the huge wings that were burning with flames flapped even harder.
Duan Ling Tian's speed instantly increased by 20%.
Although it was only 20% faster, he easily left Zhang Ji far behind in the dust.
Horror dawned on Zhang Ji when he saw Duan Ling Tian's silhouette was getting further and further away from him.
He did not expect that Duan Ling Tian had been concealing the full extent of his speed. It was already so fast to begin with.
A feeling of failure instantly rose in his heart.
Although Duan Ling Tian's speed had not reached the speed of an Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator yet, it was already quite close to it.
How fast was his speed after increasing by 20%? He managed to instantly leave Zhang Ji behind.
"How fast!"
"His speed is not much slower than an ordinary Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse, right?"
"This is just too ridiculous!"
"It's completely different from ten days ago!"
Apart from making Zhang Ji feel overwhelmed, it also caused an uproar among the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples.
"How fast!" Jiang Chu's expression had turned solemn. Despite having a foot in the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage, he was aware his speed was nowhere close to the speed of an Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse.
Compared to Duan Ling Tian's speed, it was about 20% slower as well. His speed was evenly matched with Zhang Ji's current speed.
"I can't believe that Zhang Ji has gotten so strong after he came out of his closed-door cultivation. He can already compete with me in terms of speed!" Zhang Ji was Jiang Chu's old rival. Jiang Chu naturally felt pressured when he saw his rival had gotten a lot stronger.
"It has only been ten days, but why does it feel as though Duan Ling Tian has changed into a completely different person?"
"Although his speed is very fast ten days ago, at the most he was only par with an ordinary Early Quintessential Saint Stage cultivator. However, currently, his speed can be considered as the fastest among those under Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage! This is too ridiculous!"
"Unbelievable!"
"He really made a breakthrough in just ten days? It's unbelievable!"
Duan Ling Tian's burst of speed had baffled most of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples present on the scene. Most of the disciples who were baffled were those who witnessed the fight between Duan Ling Tian and Gu Long ten days ago.
Since the fight happened fairly recently, they remembered everything very well. At that time, Duan Ling Tian's speed was not as fast as it was now!
The increase in his speed did not only shock them, but it caused them to shudder as well! This was because his progress was just too shocking!
"Hurmph! So what if your speed is faster than mine? Your strength is merely temporarily raised by an assist-type Divine Ability. How long will it last?" Zhang Ji began to slow down when he saw that he could not catch up to Duan Ling Tian. He snorted and said disdainfully, "You'd better run away now. Otherwise, I'll torture you when I catch you since the effect of your assist-type Divine Ability will lose its effect soon! If you're scared, you can always admit defeat and flee. Once I catch you, I can still torture you until you wish to die. That way I'm not violating the rules of the Black Turtle Sanctum and Fire Worship Sect!" Zhang Ji's voice was extremely cold. It seemed as though the surroundings' temperature had dropped by a few degrees.
"Zhang Ji!" At this moment, Duan Ling Tian who was flying into the distance suddenly turned around and announced loudly, "Although I know you're trying to provoke me into fleeing, I have to tell you that I have no plans of fleeing from the beginning until now. At the very least, you don't have the ability to make me turn tail and run!" He said all this confidently and with certainty.
"It's all just words! If you're not trying to flee, why are you avoiding me then? Do you even dare to have a direct battle with me?!" Zhang Ji sneered. He continued to goad Duan Ling Tian. "You're just trash and a coward. A person like you is not qualified to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum and the Fire Worship Sect. You're just making a fool out of yourself!"
Although Duan Ling Tian knew Zhang Ji was just trying to provoke him into making a move, he was still angered by his words.
"Zhang Ji, since you want a direct battle, I'll fulfill your wish!" Duan Ling Tian said coldly. He flapped his massive wings, and in just a blink of an eye, he drew close to Zhang Ji. He instantly cast his Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial!
Swish!
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian soared into the sky. When he reappeared again, he charged down menacingly.
However, there was only one Duan Ling Tian who soared up into the air. There were three Duan Ling Tian's who turned around instead.
Nobody could discern which one was the real Duan Ling Tian. Three Hundred Inscriptions Saint Swords slashed out with killing intent as they all pointed at Zhang Ji's vital points. It was apparent Duan Ling Tian meant to kill him in a blow.
"Is this a Divine Ability?"
"What a powerful Divine Ability!"
"I'm afraid this Divine Ability is a high-grade Divine Ability as well!"
Many Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples with a higher cultivation base could tell the Otherworldly Celestial that Duan Ling Tian had cast was not ordinary.
Despite not having fully mastered the Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, the force that Duan Ling Tian unleashed when he coupled it with the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, was extraordinary. It made people believed it was a high-grade Divine Ability!
"Ten days ago, when Gu Long died, three of his vital points had been pierced. It seems like he must have died from this sword-type Divine Ability!"
"At that time, Duan Ling Tian had consolidated his Territory and blocked our visions so we couldn't see what he was doing. Now I finally understand what he was doing in his Territory!"
"It's indeed a three swords instant kill! However, it's not as simple as just a martial tactic. I think this sword-type Divine Ability is most likely a high-grade Divine Ability!"
The Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples' attention was all focused on the Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, that Duan Ling Tian had cast.
Three swords descended from the sky like three sword deities who had descended to the world — Otherworldly Celestial!
"Three high-grade Divine Abilities?" Jiang Chu who was standing in the distance was shocked well. "He's only an Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, but he's able to cast such a powerful attack. It seems like the assist-type Divine Ability must be a high-grade Divine Ability! Moreover, the sword-type Divine Ability that he is casting now must also be a high-grade Divine Ability! As for the movement Divine Ability, there's no doubt that it's a high-grade Divine Ability!" Zhang Ji's expression turned grim when he saw the Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, that Duan Ling Tian cast.
Zhang Ji was shocked as well. "He successfully comprehended and mastered three high-grade Divine Abilities? How's this possible?" A flame of jealousy rose in his heart.
To think that he, Zhang Ji, was an Early Quintessential Saint Stage, but until now, he had only successfully comprehended two medium-grade Divine Abilities and one high-grade Divine Ability.
This fellow, on the other hand, was only an Exemplary Saint Stage cultivator, but he had successfully comprehended and mastered three high-grade Divine Abilities!
It was only natural for him to feel jealous!
Zhang Ji who was burning with jealousy looked at Duan Ling Tian with a cold gaze.
If looks could kill, Duan Ling Tian would have died a thousand times over.
"Hurmph! Your sword-type Divine Ability is not bad, but unfortunately, you're just too weak!" Faced with the three Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword that were descending from the sky, Zhang Ji snorted coldly and raised his hands. Boxing gloves appeared on his fists immediately. This was his Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon!
The boxing gloves were completely black. Nobody knew what it was made of. Since it was a Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon, naturally it was not just an ordinary boxing gloves.
Faced with three Duan Ling Tians that were like sword deities and the three swords that were like the Celestial Swords, Zhang Ji shouted, "Cyclopean Punch!" At the same time, he punched his fists out fearlessly.
