Chapter 3556: Tearing the Void With a Strike of His Sword
“Heavens! What technique is this?”
“How terrifying!”
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian stood in the midst of the lightning storm, impervious to the attacks. Not even a crease could be seen on his purple robe.
It was only natural that everyone was shocked.
On the other hand, the expression of the old man who had accompanied Wu Long here turned solemn. He had maintained an indifferent expression until now; he could no longer maintain his composure.
“You’ve formed and comprehended the Mastery Dao?” Wu Long’s expression turned solemn as his fighting spirit soared. His thunderous voice rang in everyone’s ears as he said, “Interesting. Very well, I won’t be holding back anymore moving forward…”
‘Holding back?’
The members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance were shocked by Wu Long’s words.
On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian remained indifferent as he said, “Alright, hurry up and reveal all the tricks up your sleeve.”
Wu Long scoffed, feeling insulted by Duan Ling Tian’s indifference. His eyes flashed coldly as he raised both his hands.
In just a blink of an eye, a terrifying thunderstorm began to brew. Flashes of purple lightning bolts lit up the sky when they flashed. Following that, instead of striking Duan Ling Tian, the purple lightning bolts suddenly struck at Wu Long.
Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, was puzzled. What was Wu Long trying to do?
“Why are the purple lightning bolts attacking Wu Long?”
“What’s he trying to do?”
However, soon enough, everyone discovered that a vortex had formed near Wu Long. Before the lightning bolts could land on him, the vortex devoured the lightning bolts like a greedy beast.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Every time the vortex devoured a lightning bolt, the storm that was brewing seemed to grow stronger. It was as though the lightning bolts, which came from the law of thunder’s Fundamental Elemental Profundity, were making Wu Long stronger when they were devoured by the vortex. Clearly, he was able to grow stronger by absorbing the lightning bolts.
‘Is this the Devouring Dao?’ Realization soon dawned on Duan Ling Tian. He was surprised by this; he did not expect Wu Long to have begun to form the Devouring Dao. Although Wu Long had yet to comprehend the Devouring Dao, there was no mistaking that he had begun to form them.
In fact, there were many who managed to form the Daos of Heaven and Earth. There were some who managed to form all Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. However, there were equally as many who failed to comprehend them after forming them.
“How unexpected.” A rare hint of surprise flitted past Duan Ling Tian’s unusually expressionless face.
“Duan Ling Tian, take this!” Wu Long shot across the sky like a god of thunder, looking as though he would destroy all the obstacles in his path.
Bang!
When Wu Long punched out, the lightning bolts raged and struck at Duan Ling Tian like ferocious dragons.
Boom!
When the attacks entered the range of Duan Ling Tian’s Space Mastery Dao, they were not instantly destroyed. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian felt a suffocating pressure pressing down on him.
‘Although he hasn’t even comprehended his Devouring Dao to the elementary stage, he’s still very powerful after drawing power from it…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘It’s rather impressive that he found a way to increase his strength when he has barely comprehended the Mastery Dao. However, devouring the lightning bolts to increase his strength isn’t without risks. If he’s not careful, he might injure himself or get himself killed… Nevertheless, based on this alone, it’s true that he’s invincible among those below Nine Star Gods of War…’
Duan Ling Tian could tell that Wu Long’s strength far exceeded even those of top Eight Star Gods of War even if Wu Long was not as strong as a Nine Star God of War. After all, Nine Star Gods of War were demi-gods. At this stage, these demi-gods’ Celestial Origin Energy already held some qualities of the Divine Energy.
Before one’s Celestial Origin Energy began to make the shift to transform into Divine Energy, one would only be an Eight Star God of War no matter how strong one was. Once one’s Celestial Origin Energy began to contain traces of the Divine Energy, one would become as strong as a Nine Star God of War, easily powering everyone with only Celestial Origin Energy. It did not matter if one’s opponent had a deeper comprehension of the law; as long as one had a trace of the Divine Energy, one would be able to easily defeat opponents with only Celestial Origin Energy. However, this was only if Celestial Weapons did not play a part in the fight. For example, if Duan Ling Tian used the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and fought a demi-god without a divine artifact, Duan Ling Tian would still be able to defeat the demi-god.
“Nice!” Faced with Wu Long’s powerful attack, Duan Ling Tian placed his left hand on his back before pushing his right hand out.
Swoosh!
In just an instant, Celestial Origin Energy mixed with spatial energy surged out and formed a sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand. Although it did not look particularly dazzling with its greyish light. Its aura was calm and profound unlike the turbulent aura of Wu Long’s attack, but it was not any less terrifying.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yun Feng’s eyes lit up. “I heard that apart from the Mastery Dao, the Young Master has also formed and comprehended the Space Sword Dao that’s unique to him!”
At this moment, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian finally made a move. He brandished his sword casually without any technique; it was just a simple technique.
The unassuming sword faced the raging storm in the sky. When they collided, Duan Ling Tian’s simple attack looked as though it was being overwhelmed by Wu Long’s flashy attack.
The members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, who had felt their hearts sink upon seeing this, suddenly heard the sound of something tearing. When they looked up, they saw that Wu Long’s raging attack seemed to have suddenly frozen. At the same time, the force of the attack was swiftly depleting as well.
“Look! What’s that?!”
At this time, most people had noticed the tear in the void that was devouring the force of Wu Long’s attack like a ravenous beast.
“It’s a tear in the void!”
“Heavens! Our Vice Leader managed to tear a hole in the void! I thought only gods are capable of such a feat in Devata Realms? Moreover, the Nine Serenities Battlefield is much more stable compared to Devata Realms. Even ordinary gods aren’t capable of this, right?”
“Is our Vice Leader a god?”
“Are you stupid? If he’s a god, how could he have entered the Nine Serenities Battlefield?”
The members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance were shocked and frightened by Duan Ling Tian’s terrifying attack.
At this time, some of the more knowledgeable members of the alliance explained, “Our Vice Leader didn’t really tear a hole in the void with his strength alone. You can say he actually used a special technique. Nevertheless, it doesn’t make this feat any less impressive.”
“Remarkable! Truly remarkable!”
“I feel really lucky being able to witness such a fight! I really didn’t live so long in vain!”
Meanwhile, Wu Long stared at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief. However, it did not long before he regained his composure. “You truly live up to your identity as the only true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. You’re really powerful.”
Wu Long withdrew the energy around him as he walked toward Duan Ling Tian. The lightning bolts in the sky had vanished, and the thunder had stopped ringing in the air.
“What’s Wu Long doing? Is he going to surrender?”
Many people were puzzled by Wu Long’s actions. Although he seemed to be at a disadvantage now, he must still have tricks up his sleeve. After all, both opponents had yet to draw their weapons.
“Are you going to surrender?” Duan Ling Tian asked tonelessly.
At this time, Wu Long had drawn rather close to Duan Ling Tian.
