Chapter 4071: Duan Ling Tian’s Strength
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was a well-known fact that Duan Ling Tian’s strongest law was the law of space. Everyone also knew his comprehension of the law of space was profound and that his comprehension was not inferior to that of advanced Lords of Gods in the Seven Mansions who comprehended the law of space. There were even speculations that his comprehension was comparable to rudimentary Emperors of Gods. However, they were still shocked when he displayed his Double Teleportation Profundity today, which only intermediate Emperors of Gods in the Seven Mansions had comprehended.
…
“He’s not even 3,000 years old, but his comprehension of the law of space is comparable to mine… I’ve lived in vain for the past tens of thousands of years…”
This was the sentiment of many intermediate Emperors of Gods, who comprehended the law of space, after news of Duan Ling Tian comprehending the Double Teleportation Profundity spread to the various forces in the Seven Mansions.
There was a commotion in the various forces in the Seven Mansions as well.
“Duan Ling Tian comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity and injured Wang Xiong? It seems like Wang Xiong might not necessarily win today.”
“Will the Pure Yang Sect obtain six slots this time?”
“Keep in contact with the Pure Yang Sect. We have to obtain a slot at all costs if they decide to put it up for auction!”
…
At the venue of the Seven Mansions Feast.
Duan Ling Tian looked at Wang Xiong, who was standing in the distance, allowing Wang Xiong to recuperate.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiong was looking at Duan Ling Tian vigilantly as he tried to heal his injuries. He could not help but feel bitter. A moment of carelessness left him with eternal regrets. After all, he did not expect Duan Ling Tian to have comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity and was injured as a result. Now, he would be lucky if he could recover 80% of his strength. When he was injured earlier, it had caused his old injuries to flare up as well.
Swoosh!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian flew toward Wang Xiong. He knew he had to end the fight quickly. If Wang Xiong recovered, it would be difficult for him to defeat Wang Xiong. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Everything was going according to his plan so far. As he flew, a figure suddenly appeared next to him. It was his doppelganger from the law of space.
The doppelganger held a prominent divine sword in its hand as it flew along with Duan Ling Tian toward Wang Xiong.
The spatial storm raged around Duan Ling Tian again. At the same time, he used his Sword Dao as well.
Upon seeing this, the crowd began to discuss fervently among themselves. The young disciples were no longer confident about Wang Xiong’s victory at this time.
“Duan Ling Tian is preparing to defeat Wang Xiong in one fell swoop!”
“He’s even brought out his doppelganger from the law of space!”
“Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger has the same combat strength as him. Now that there’s two of him, even if the injured Wang Xiong uses his bloodline power, Duan Ling Tian should be able to win first place…”
“We’ll know the outcome if we keep watching. Don’t forget that there might not be a winner and that the fight might end in a tie. Even if it’s a tie, it’s enough for Duan Ling Tian to rank first.”
“It’s really a pity that Wang Xiong was injured earlier…”
Wang Xiong’s face was very pale at this moment.
Duan Ling Tian’s strength was beyond everyone’s expectations. Now that Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger appeared, no one dared to underestimate him anymore even if he was just an intermediate Lord of Gods.
Among the top ten participants in the Seven Mansions Feast, only Duan Ling Tian, Yang Qian Ye, and Ximen Long Xiang were intermediate Lords of Gods. The other seven participants were all advanced Lords of Gods.
Yang Qian Ye and Ximen Long Xiang were ranked at the bottom, but Duan Ling Tian, who was also an intermediate Lord of Gods, was strong enough to fight for first place. His strength was not on the same level as the duo at all.
“Duan Ling Tian, everyone really underestimated you,” Wang Xiong said solemnly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes briefly. At the same time, golden light and blood qi burst forth from his body again. Then, he made his move as well. However, instead of advancing, he retreated as he attacked.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Wang Xiong did not stop swinging his prominent divine sword as he flew back. Countless dazzling golden sword rays shot out to block Duan Ling Tian’s sword rays.
Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. Then, he switched positions with his doppelgangers before they attacked in unison.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two sword rays shot out violently. They were like one as they moved and crushed Wang Xiong’s sword rays.
Everyone could clearly sense that Duan Ling Tian’s strength had now doubled with the presence of his doppelganger. They were still surprised despite already expecting this.
Meanwhile, the Emperors of Gods present on the scene were shocked for a different reason. They naturally had better insight compared to the others. As such, they noticed many things that others could not.
“Is that… a formation?”
“It seems like a simple two-people formation, but due to the connection between the original body and the doppelganger and the Sword Dao, their strength is even stronger than usual.”
“I’ve had many opponents from the lower realms, but none of them had this level of synergy with their doppelgangers…”
“The reason their synergy is so high is due to his Sword Dao.”
“I didn’t expect the Sword Dao would be able to improve their synergy.”
“I heard that when those from the lower realms comprehend the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, their strength will improve significantly… Is this what it means?”
The Emperors of Gods were already shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s Double Teleportation Profundity. They were further shocked now when they saw the level of synergy between Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger. After a moment, some of them could not help but shake their heads when they looked at WangXiong.
Perhaps, if Wang Xiong was not injured, he might have had a small chance to defeat Duan Ling Tian. At the very least, he would be able to fight to a tie. However, now that he was injured, it would be difficult for the fight to end in a draw, let alone defeat Duan Ling Tian.
Without watching any further, the Emperors of Gods could already guess the outcome of this fight.
“I really didn’t expect this…”
“I didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian to be so strong. He’s much stronger than what he had shown during his fight with Han Di…”
“He really hid his strength well…”
“Everyone was so sure that Wang Xiong would win… Now, I’d be surprised if Wang Xiong actually wins…”
There was no doubt that Wang Xiong was extraordinary, but he was injured due to an error in judgment. Consequently, he lost the chance to defeat Duan Ling Tian.
Naturally, unlike Luo Yuan who was careless, no one blamed Wang Xiong for his ‘carelessness’ or error in judgment. After all, who would have thought that an intermediate Lord of Gods was capable of comprehending the Double Teleportation Profundity?
That aside, even if Wang Xiong was not injured, with Duan Ling Tian’s current strength, it would also be difficult for Wang Xiong to defeat Duan Ling Tian. At most, the fight would end in a tie. In other words, injured or not, Wang Xiong would not be able to rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast. He did not lose the chance to rank first due to his error in judgment because he would have lost either way. Duan Ling Tian was destined to rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast this time.
Apart from the Emperors of Gods, the other elders from the various forces also saw through the intricacy of Duan Ling Tian’s move.
A few of the outstanding young prodigies also wore solemn expressions on their faces as they looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock and disbelief.
‘Duan Ling Tian is actually so strong? Fortunately, I didn’t ambush him back then. Otherwise, I definitely would’ve been injured…’ Han Di, who was standing with the people from the Consonance Mansion’s United Heavens Sect, was dumbfounded. He felt fortunate that he did not launch a sneak attack on Duan Ling Tian back then.
Lin Yuan and Yuan Mo Yuan’s expressions were no better than Han Di’s.
Tuo Ba Xiu’s icy expression was replaced with a complicated one as she looked at Duan Ling Tian with eyes brimming with surprise. As an outstanding woman, her standards in regard to her partners were naturally very high. She had never paid attention to men weaker than her, whether they pursued her or not. This was the first time a man had caught her attention. Although Wang Xiong and Lin Yuan were very strong, they did not catch her attention. Duan Ling Tian was special because he was not even 3,000 years old, and yet, his achievements surpassed those older than him. She knew his future and potential were limitless. Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian was also very handsome.
Naturally, Tuo Ba Xiu was only attracted to Duan Ling Tian and saw him in a favorable light now. It did not mean that she had fallen in love with him.
‘How’s this possible?!’ At the same time, Wanqi Hong’s expression was very sour. Not even in his wildest dreams did he think Duan Ling Tian was so strong. Although Duan Ling Tian had defeated him back then, he could sense Duan Ling Tian was not much stronger than him. He wondered now if Duan Ling Tian was holding back at that time. Thinking that Duan Ling Tian defeated him even though Duan Ling Tian was holding back, he felt humiliated and ashamed.
Meanwhile, the people of the Pure Yang Sect were pleasantly surprised. Just like the others, they did not expect Duan Ling Tian to win at all.
Ye Chen Feng shook his head slightly. He had shown Duan Ling Tian his Sword Dao Principle, hoping that Duan Ling Tian would break through his bottleneck and increase his strength. However, judging from the current situation, he could tell that Duan Ling Tian had yet to break through the bottleneck. He wondered if his efforts were in vain. After all, even without a breakthrough, with the current strength Duan Ling Tian displayed, Duan Ling Tian still would be able to stay in the first place. If he had known Duan Ling Tian had such strength, he would not have been in such a hurry to show Duan Ling Tian his Sword Dao Principle and wait for a better time after they returned to the Pure Yang Sect.
However, unbeknownst to Ye Chen Feng, it was due to his Sword Dao Principle that Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger had such a high level of synergy.
