Chapter 2198 - The Battle Between Two Powerhouse At the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage
Chapter 2198 The Battle Between Two Powerhouse At the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage
Even the four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect had a hint of bewilderment in their eyes when they looked at Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect. They felt that he was acting a little unusual.
Is Sect Leader unwilling to hand over Guardian Ling Tian because of his innate talent?’ This thought appeared in the four Guardians’ minds. After all, Duan Ling Tian’s achievements were completely unprecedented at his age. However, they dismissed this thought soon after. This was because all of them thought Duan Ling Tian had grown so strong all thanks to the trap left behind by the three Eminent Devils. They did not think it was because of his innate ability. They all thought the trap was also a treasure vault even though it had killed many people. Only those who managed to survive would be able to obtain the treasure in it. Duan Ling Tian might be at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage now, but they thought it would be difficult for him to raise his cultivation base since his innate talent was only average. They remembered the color of his Innate Spiritual Root when he was tested in the Fire Worship Sect a few years ago. The Guardians were still thinking about the reasons why the sect leader would behave in such a way when…
Boom!
A loud explosion rang in the air, causing the ground to quake. Wind blew violently from where Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, was standing. Almost everyone was sent flying by the explosion. The few powerhouses at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage looked extremely wretched as they were sent flying back.
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian managed to avoid looking as wretched as the others even though he was sent flying back as well. He had activated his Divine Abilities, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, and the Black Turtle’s Barrier, to raise his Sun Saint Origin and to protect himself.
Lang Qian Jin must not be able to hold himself back anymore…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after he found his footing. He was slightly alarmed. It was obvious that Lang Qian Jin could no longer suppress his anger and was about to attack.
“TangXuan, since you want a fight… I’ll fulfill your wish!” Lang Qian Jin roared as he vanished. He had moved so fast that his afterimage could be seen on the spot where he was last standing.
Bang!
Before Duan Ling Tian could react, he heard another earth-shattering explosion. He knew Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin had already started fighting.
This time, the explosion resulted in an even greater shockwave. The air began to stir violently at the spot where Tang Xuan was standing before it turned into a flurry of hurricanes.
Although everyone was prepared for the backlash this time around, they were still forced to retreat one after another.
The two Vice Sect Leaders from Black Kshetra Sect whose cultivation bases were only at the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage were sent flying back even though they had tried to brace themselves from the shockwave. Both of them threw up a mouthful of blood as they were sent flying back. It was obvious that they were grievously injured.
The shockwave was far greater than the one before. It spread out tyrannically toward the White Tiger Sanctum, one of the Four Symbols Sanctums in Fire Worship Sect, since it was closest to the where to the battle was taking place. Although the force from the shockwave was no longer as strong when it spread to the White Tiger Sanctum, it still managed to kill many disciples from the White Tiger Sanctums with a weak cultivation base. They did not even have a chance to react.
On the other hand, the disciples from White Tiger Sanctum with a higher cultivation base managed to escape death, but they were still severely injured. Many of them were throwing up blood, causing the ground in the White Tiger Sanctum to turn red.
It was as though hell had descended on the White Tiger Sanctum at this moment.
“Lord Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder of the Black Kshetra Sect have begun to fight?”
“Just the shockwave from a fight between two powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage managed to kill so many disciples from the White Tiger Sanctum… How terrifying!”
In the comers of the White Tiger Sanctum, many White Tiger Sanctum elders sighed as they spoke among themselves. They were all worried.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Fire Worship Sect also knew that Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, and Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, had begun to fight.
“What’s so great about Duan Ling Tian that Lord Sect Leader is willing to go to such an extent for him?”
Wen Yan and her senior brother, Bu Hong, had a sullen expression on their faces when they discovered Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin had begun to fight.
Both of them did not expect that Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, and Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, would behave so recklessly since they were powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Both of them stood at the peak in the Dao Martial Saint Land. After all, a fight at their level could easily result in their deaths.
It was only natural for humans to be afraid of death, and this was even more true for powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! The Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was also known as the Celestial Ascension Form. If they managed to survive the Heaven Tribulation, they would be able to ascend to a higher realm. However, if they died before they could ascend, all of their efforts would be wasted. For this reason, it was extremely rare for powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage to fight among themselves unless they had enmity with the other person.
For this reason, Wen Yan and Bu Hong were not only furious, but they were confused by Tang Xuan’s actions as well. They could not figure out why Tang Xuan would protect Duan Ling Tian to this extent.
Lord Sect Leader has made his move?”
“It seems like Senior Brother Ling Tian will survive this disaster!”
The Liu Brothers, Liu Yun and Liu Mu, sighed in relief when they discovered the Sect Leader of their Fire Worship Sect had made his move.
Meanwhile, the remaining people from the Fire Worship Sect were also shocked by Tang Xuan’s actions.
Outside the Fire Worship Sect.
At this moment, Tang Xuan seemed to have realized the shockwave from his fight had killed many disciples from the White Tiger Sanctum disciples. With just a flash, he vanished before everyone’s eyes. He had moved so quickly that he left behind an afterimage.
Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, snorted before he also vanished before everyone’s eyes.
“It seems like Sect Leader intentionally lured Lang Qian Jin…” It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure out Tang Xuan’s intention.
Bang!
Another deafening explosion rang in the air.
Duan Ling Tian clearly saw a mushroom cloud several kilometers away from where he was standing.
It was obvious that Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin had just exchanged another blow.
“They actually traveled so far away in such a short time?”
A commotion broke out again as the force from the shockwave swept out toward Duan Ling Tian and the others. However, due to the distance, the force was much weaker now. Even the two Vice Sect Leaders of Black Kshetra Sect were not affected by it.
However, the same could not be said for the White Tiger Sanctum. Although the force from this shockwave was weaker than the one before, it still injured many disciples from the White Tiger Sanctum. Many elders and disciples in the White Tiger Sanctum trembled in fear when they saw this.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
When the five Guardians of Fire Worship Sect and the people from Black Kshetra Sect saw Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin moving further and further away from the Fire Worship Sect, they quickly followed them once they regained their senses.
However, the commotion from the fight sounded weaker and weaker as they tried to catch up to Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin. Based on this, they could tell Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin were getting further away from them. They could not catch up to both of them at all.
In the end, the commotion died down entirely. The group of people had lost track of Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin.
This is the speed of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?’ Duan Ling Tian had a gloomy expression on his face when he discovered how terrifyingly fast a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was.
When he regained his senses, he quickly expressed his gratitude to Elder Huo. “Thank you, Elder Huo!” If it was not for Elder Huo’s warning, he would not have been able to escape the destructive force from Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin’s fight. He did not end up in a wretched state like the others since he was able to prepare himself.
“Elder Huo?” Duan Ling Tian called out. He found it a little strange since Elder Huo did not reply to him. Elder Huo had always been very prompt with his replies in the past. However, he was soon distracted by three piercing gazes.
The two great Karmapas and Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect were glaring at Duan Ling Tian at this moment.
Inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Elder Huo had a horrified expression on his face as he stared at a huge figure that had appeared out of thin air. He asked, “W-Who are you?”
