Chapter 3684: Invincible

The old man standing next to Zhang Tian Heng was one of the Vice Pavilion Masters of the Trial Pavilion. He was a powerful inner elder, second only to the 19 core elders of the Hidden Fog Sect. Among the inner elders, he was also the most likely to be promoted to a core elder.

“Pavilion Master, rest assured. Everything is proceeding smoothly,” the old man said with a reassuring smile.

“Is there anyone particularly outstanding?” Zhang Tian Heng asked, “Do you think we’ll finally have a new core disciple this time?”

The old man said with a wry smile, “Pavilion Master, core disciples are rare. Based on their mediocre performance, I don’t think there’ll be any core disciples from my side. I think Duan Ling Tian alone has a good chance of becoming a core disciple.” After a brief pause, he asked curiously, “How’s Duan Ling Tian faring, Pavilion Master?”

“He hasn’t made a move yet,” Zhang Tian Heng said as he shook his head helplessly, “That son of mine has persuaded the other inner disciples to help Duan Ling Tian clear the obstacles to help Duan Ling Tian conserve his energy so Duan Ling Tian has a higher chance of becoming a core disciple. I really don’t know what he’s thinking.”

The old man smiled wryly and said, “It seems like the Young Master doesn’t know the difficulty Duan Ling Tian will have to face at the end of the test won’t change even if they help him. Moreover, we can easily change the test.”

Zhang Tian Heng was the master of the Little World, after all. All the obstacles in the Little World were arranged by him. He could easily manipulate and change everything in his Little World with just a thought. It was similar to how the supreme powerhouses who created Realms of Gods had control over the Realms of Gods. It was said that Realms of Gods were just Little Worlds of supreme powerhouses, after all.

“That’s why I said that boy is a fool who’s only wasting his energy,” Zhang Tian Heng said.

The old man shook his head and said, “I beg to differ, Pavilion Master. Perhaps, the Young Master is trying to befriend Duan Ling Tian? Even if Duan Ling Tian fails to become a core disciple today, there’s no doubt he’s going to be a powerhouse of the sect in the future.”

“I wouldn’t have worried so much if he’s so sensible. Knowing him, he just wants to brag to others that he personally witnessed Duan Ling Tian passing the test to become a core disciple,” Zhang Tian Heng said.

Zhang Yao Ji was naturally unaware of his father’s thoughts. Otherwise, he would have thought that indeed his father knew him the best.

Duan Ling Tian did not make a move at all during the first few obstacles. He only got involved when Zhang Yao Ji and the others were overwhelmed and nearly injured.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The danger was neutralized as soon as Duan Ling Tian’s spatial energy swept out, forcing the death slaves and demon beasts to retreat.

The demon beasts looked at Duan Ling Tian fearfully. Despite possessing no intelligence, they possessed their instincts, after all.

On the contrary, the death slaves were devoid of emotions so they knew no fear. However, due to Zhang Tian Heng’s arrangement, they did not rush out again once they had been forced to retreat.

After a few more rounds, all of the inner disciples were forced to surrender except for Zhang Tian Heng and another two inner disciples.

“Senior Brother Duan, this is as far as we can help you,” one of the inner disciples said with a wry smile, “If you didn’t help us the last two times, we would have been eliminated.”

“We’ve reached our limits!”

“Good luck, Senior Brother Duan! We can only do this much to help you!”

The weaker inner disciples nodded in agreement. All of them were looking forward to Duan Ling Tian passing the core disciples’ test.

At this time, one disciple looked up and sighed. “It’s too difficult. After such a long time, we’re only halfway through….”

“That’s right. I wonder how Senior Xue Hai Chun passed the test 10,000 years ago?”

The remaining inner disciples watched as Duan Ling Tian, Zhang Yao Ji, and the other two inner disciples continued flying up. They discovered that without them, Duan Ling Tian and the other’s progress seemed to have sped up. The death slaves and the demons beasts did not even have a chance to approach the trio before they were forced to retreat by Duan Ling Tian. Due to the number of people earlier, Duan Ling Tian had restrained his strength in fear of injuring the other inner disciples.

One of the younger inner disciples muttered to himself, “I wonder when I’ll become as strong as Senior Brother Duan.”

Another inner disciple overheard this and said as he shook his head, “It’s considered very good if you can even be as strong as Senior Brother Zhang…”

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian discovered the other two inner disciples had strength comparable to Qi Yu. They seemed to have comprehended triple Fused Profundities as well. He thought to himself, “They must be among the top ten strongest inner disciples who are gods.’

As time passed, Zhang Yao Ji and the other two inner disciples were drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

“It’s getting more difficult. Let’s rest for a while.”

Zhang Yao Ji could not help but curse inwardly when he saw Duan Ling Tian looking completely unaffected. After a moment, he said, “That’s right. Duan Ling Tian, you haven’t met these two prior to this, right?”

Then, Zhang Yao Ji pointed at the aloof young man dressed in a long gray robe and said, “This is A Qiu, Guardian Yun Huai’s fourth disciple.” Following that, he pointed at a middle-aged man dressed in a long light blue robe with an ordinary appearance but extraordinary bearing before he continued to say, “And this is Sha Yu Ting. He’s the third elder’s second disciple. These two, as you’ve probably guessed, are among the ten strongest inner disciples who are gods.”

“Your reputation precedes you. I have to say you live up to your reputation,” Sha Yu Ting said with a smile.

The aloof A Qiu smiled awkwardly and said, “You’re really extraordinary.”

However, before Duan Ling Tian could respond, a loud roar rang from above.

In the next moment, a huge demon beast carrying a dozen death slaves on its back descended. Then, the death slaves leaped off its back one after another.

Zhang Yao Ji cursed, “That old geezer is too much! He won’t even let us have a short break!”

Previously, there would be a short period of rest before the next wave of death slaves and demon beasts appeared. Currently, that was clearly not the case anymore.

A Qiu and Sha Yu Ting’s expressions turned grim immediately.

The trio was just about to mobilize their Divine Energies to fight when Duan Ling Tian said, “The three of you can take a break. I’ll handle this.”

With that, Duan Ling Tian flew out with a primitive divine sword in hand. He swung his sword, unleashing a huge sword ray at the demon beast and death slaves.

Just like that, the demon beast and the death slaves were sent flying back. Blood spurted in the air immediately. Some of the death slaves were so injured that they began to vomit blood. Then, as though they had just received an order, all of them retreated immediately.

The trio watched in shock.

“That’s… That’s the Sword Dao, right?”

The trio knew that the demon beast and the death slaves were really strong. Even if they joined forces, they would barely be able to defeat them due to their exhaustion. Perhaps, at the peak of the strength, two of them would be enough to deal with the demon beast and the death slaves. Nonetheless, they still would not be able to defeat the demon beast and the death slaves with just a strike.

“If I was the target of that attack, I would definitely die! It seems like Qi Yu didn’t die in vain,” Sha Yu Ting muttered to himself.

“However, the upcoming obstacles won’t be easy for him either,” Zhang Yao Ji said as he watched Duan Ling Tian continue to advance.

However, to his shock, Duan Ling Tian managed to clear the next few obstacles with just a strike again.

“Heavens! How’s this possible?” Zhang Yao Ji was shocked.

A Qiu solemnly said, “He must have comprehended two triple Fused Profundities from the law of space. Combined with the rudimentary stage of the Sword Dao, it’s only natural that he’s so powerful. In fact, his current strength far surpasses that of Xue Hai Chuan’s 10,000 years ago!”
