4562 G-greetings, Lord Duan Ling Tian!
Guo Lin was the second most powerful person in the Azure Cloud Saint Sect after Zhan An Yi. Since Zhao An Yi spent most of his time in closed-door cultivation, the responsibility to protect the sect had always been shouldered by Guo Lin. Previously, most people thought that he was nowhere near as strong as Zhao An Yi even though he was also a Saint. However, they were shocked when they witnessed his strength today. He was still no match for Zhao An Yi, but he was much more powerful than they had thought.
Swoosh!
Spatial tears appeared in the crimson sky as the flaming blade ray shot out. In just a blink of an eye, it was only inches away from Duan Ling Tian. However, Duan Ling Tian remained motionless.
…
Meanwhile, the onlookers could barely contain their excitement as they watched the fight.
“What is he doing?”
“Is he too shocked to react?”
“Impossible. He might not be as strong as Senior Zhao An Yi, but he shouldn’t be weaker than Senior Guo!”
…
“Is this all you got?” Duan Ling Tian asked contemptuously.
At the same time, the space around Duan Ling Tian began to distort. In just a moment, countless sword rays appeared and formed a huge humanoid silhouette. It raised its hand and swung it toward the flaming blade.
Bang!
The flaming blade ray was easily destroyed by the gigantic hand like a candle that was put out.
The gigantic figure withdrew its hand after destroying the blade ray as the spatial tears mended themselves. In just a moment, silence descended and peace was restored after the storm had passed.
Guo Lin exclaimed in disbelief, breaking the silence, “How’s this possible?!”
Following that, Guo Lin struck again. An even more powerful flaming blade ray shot toward Duan Ling Tian again.
Swoosh!
Alas, the flaming blade ray was still easily crushed by the gigantic figure.
…
The onlookers were thoroughly shocked as they watched with wide eyes.
“H-how’s this possible?!”
“Impossible! Even Senior Zhao doesn’t possess this kind of terrifying strength!”
At the same time, the members of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect looked at each other in shock and disbelief as well.
…
Similar to the others, Zhao Yi An’s solemn expression was replaced by one of shock and disbelief.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian’s terrifyingly powerful Divine Consciousness suddenly surged out, crushing those of Zhao An Yi and Guo Lin.
Guo Lin, who was caught off guard, spat out a mouthful of blood. Colors drained from his face immediately. It was clear that he had suffered.
On the other hand, Zhao Yi An; the strongest person in the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, felt his soul shudder after sensing Duan Ling Tian’s powerful Divine Consciousness. All kinds of emotions surged in his heart at this moment.
“You…”
After he recovered, Guo Lin’s eyes were filled with fear and unease as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He looked like a child who had been caught misbehaving by his parents at this moment.
Meanwhile, Zhao An Yi cupped his fists together at Duan Ling Tian and bowed as he said in a slightly trembling voice, “G-greetings, Lord Duan Ling Tian!”
Guo Lin was pulled back to his senses upon hearing Zhao An Yi’s words. His face paled, and his body trembled uncontrollably as realization dawned on him. He quickly cupped his fists together and bowed at Duan Ling Tian as well as he said, “Guo Lin greets Lord Duan Ling Tian! Please forgive me for not recognizing you!”
After Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness easily crushed those of Zhao An Yi and Guo Lin, how could they not know who they were facing at this moment? They had seen Feng Qing Yang previously when they went to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. As such, the purple-clad young man in front of them could only be Duan Ling Tian, the other level-seven supreme powerhouse.
In the duo’s opinion, Duan Ling Tian was more terrifying compared to Feng Qing Yang. Feng Qing Yang had comprehended the law to the paramount stage and the Sword Dao to the seventh stage before he underwent the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation as an intermediate Supreme God. With his strength, it was not hard for him to pass the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, which was much weaker for an intermediate Supreme God.
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian had undergone the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation as an advanced Supreme God. The Fatal Heavenly Tribulation for an advanced Supreme God was much stronger. Even if Zhao An Yi and Guo Lin possessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength when they were advanced Supreme Gods, they were not confident they could survive the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation.
…
Although the onlookers were watching from a distance away, they could clearly hear Zhao An Yi and Guo Lin thanks to their cultivation. At the same time, they recalled the heavenly text that appeared in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds.
‘Congratulations to Duan Ling Tian from the God Defying World. After entering the Forbidden Realm and overcoming the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, he has successfully become the second level-seven supreme powerhouse after the gap in history, surpassing all Saints and World supreme powerhouses!’
“Duan Ling Tian?!”
“He’s Lord Duan Ling Tian?! The second level-seven supreme powerhouse?!”
“Heavens! No wonder he was so terrifyingly powerful and crushed Senior Guo Lin’s attacks so easily! He even injured Senior Guo Lin with only his Divine Consciousness!”
…
“H-he’s Duan Ling Tian?!”
On the other hand, the survivors of the Fu clan were overwhelmed with despair when they realized the purple-clad young man who attacked their clan and killed their two demi Saints was Duan Ling Tian, a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
As members of a demi-saint-rank force, they naturally knew that Feng Qing Yang, the other level-seven supreme powerhouse, was guarding the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, preventing others from entering the pagoda. There were many Saints and World supreme powerhouses from the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds, but none of them had joined forces to deal with Feng Qing Yang despite their yearning to enter the pagoda. Based on this, it was clear that those Saints and World supreme powerhouses were afraid of Feng Qing Yang and were not confident about defeating Feng Qing Yang even if they joined forces. No one was willing to make a move. Even if they managed to defeat Feng Qing Yang if they joined forces, they could still die. It was not easy for them to cultivate to this point so they would not risk their lives unless it was absolutely necessary. There were those who were brave enough to take the risk, but they knew it would be impossible for the few of them to defeat Feng Qing Yang. For all these reasons, all of them decided to wait and see instead of challenging Feng Qing Yang. After all, in their opinion, it was impossible for Feng Qing Yang to guard the Heaven Traversing Pagoda forever.
…
The members of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect present on the scene turned pale as well. They did not expect the purple-clad young man to be the famous supreme powerhouse from the God Defying World who stirred up a storm in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. At the same time, they thought that He Hu, the demi Saint from the Azure Cloud Saint Sect who was killed by Duan Ling Tian earlier, had died in vain.
If Duan Ling Tian were a Saint, the Azure Cloud Saint Sect could avenge He Hu. Alas, Duan Ling Tian was one of only two level-supreme powerhouses in the world, and he was much more powerful than Saints. There was nothing the Azure Cloud Saint Sect could do. If the sect provoked Duan Ling Tian, it might even bring disaster to the sect.
When they regained their senses, they greeted Duan Ling Tian in unison.
“Greetings, Lord Duan Ling Tian!”
The survivors from the Fu clan and the onlookers in the distance quickly followed suit.
“Greetings, Lord Duan Ling Tian!”
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhao An Yi with a slightly surprised expression and asked, “How do you know I’m Duan Ling Tian?”
After all, Feng Qing Yang, his master, was also a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
“Lord Duan, I had the honor of meeting Lord Feng near the Heaven Traversing Pagoda,” Zhao An Yi replied truthfully.
Duan Ling Tian nodded. In the God Defying World, before returning to the Outer Boundary, he had heard that Feng Qing Yang was standing guard at the Heaven Traversing to prevent Saints and World supreme powerhouses from entering the pagoda. After listening to Zhao An Yi, he knew that Zhao An Yi must have gone to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda to try his luck and met Feng Qing Yang at that time.
‘Master…’
A hint of excitement flashed in the depths of Duan Ling Tian’s eyes when he thought about his master. It had been a long time since they last met, after all. He also did not expect Feng Qing Yang to become a level-seven supreme powerhouse ahead of him.
Meanwhile, Guo Lin was overcome with anxiety when he saw Duan Ling Tian ignoring him. He quickly said, “Lord Duan, please forgive me for my folly! I have no complaints if you want to take my life, but please have mercy on the members of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect! They’re innocent!”
