Chapter 3811: Hua Tian Du’s True Strength
Hu Tian Du was the Young Master of the lord-rank Eastern Oriental Sect. He was younger than 8,000 years old. In the past, he had always been compared to the First Winter Sect’s Ji Wu Chang. It was only today that people realized he was actually much stronger than Ji Wu Chang.
Ji Wu Chang was also clearly shocked when he was defeated by Hua Tian Du, showing that he was unaware of Hua Tian Du’s true strength as well.
Apart from that, Hua Tian Du had also defeated Ji Wu Chang, Lady Seven, and Du Po Jun without using his bloodline power.
“It seems like Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du are much stronger than the participants in the first tier.”
The crowd was truly surprised by the gap between the strength of Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian and the other participants in the first tier. Even among the Eastern Ridge Mansion’s emperor-rank forces, the duo could be considered rare talents. They were certain that if the emperor-rank forces received news about Duan Ling Tian, they would surely send people to recruit him. Unless Duan Ling Tian refused them, the Flying Dragon Sect would not dare to stop him at all. After all, unlike the Flying Dragon Sect, there were other emperor-rank forces with Emperors of Gods.
After Hua Tian Du entered the battle ring, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with a faint smile and said, “Duan Ling Tian, let’s end this Latent Dragon Grand Contest.”
Duan Ling Tian, who had entered the battle ring as well, nodded.
The duo looked calm as they stood across from each other. However, the calm was like the calm before a storm.
…
Everyone, including Lan Yu Shan, Dongfang Yan Nian, and the other White Dragon Elder, was focused on Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du’s match, which was also the final match of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest.
“Who do you think is stronger?”
“It’s difficult to tell. Hua Tian Du hasn’t used his bloodline power, after all. From what I heard, his bloodline power is quite powerful.”
“What kind of bloodline power does he possess?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then, how do you know it’s powerful?”
“I heard it somewhere.”
…
In the battle ring.
“Duan Ling Tian, equip your doppelganger with a prominent divine artifact,” Hua Tian Du said nonchalantly. Death energy from the law of death began to swirl around him.
…
The crowd was shocked by Hua Tian Du’s words.
“What does he mean? Isn’t he afraid of Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger from the law of space?”
“Where does his confidence come from?”
“It seems like apart from his bloodline power, he has other tricks up his sleeve as well.”
…
Duan Ling Tian cocked an eyebrow and smiled faintly as he said, “Young Master Hua, it seems you’re very confident about your strength.”
As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell, a spatial storm appeared above him. Although he was confident, he would not let his guard down when faced with also confident Hua Tian Du. During his previous matches, he had held back when fighting his opponents. Hua Tian Du was clearly different from the others.
“If you don’t have an extra prominent divine artifact, I’ll give you a chance to borrow it from someone. It’d be too late if you wait until the critical moment,” Hua Tian Du said. He was not in a rush to make a move and was even magnanimous enough to give Duan Ling Tian to borrow another prominent divine artifact.
These words made the crowd even more certain that Hua Tian Du had greatly held back during his previous matches.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned slightly solemn as he said with narrowed eyes, “You don’t have to worry about me, Young Master Hua.”
“Duan Ling Tian, today will be the first time I’m publicly revealing my true strength,” Hua Tian Du said as he took a step forward. In just a moment, his aura changed drastically. Following that, a doppelganger with red eyes appeared.
Unlike Duan Ling Tian who formed his doppelganger using the law of space, Hua Tian Du’s doppelganger was the ability of a profundity from the law of death called the Undead Doppelganger. The doppelganger from the law of death’s Undead Doppelganger was not as strong as doppelgangers formed from the laws. The Undead Doppelganger had more limitations.
This was similar to the ability of one of Duan Ling Tian’s friends, Ling Jue Yun, who was also a native of a Realm of Gods.
As soon as Hua Tian Du’s Undead Doppelganger appeared, Duan Ling Tian saw its blood-red eyes flash to life. Following that, a weapon appeared in its hand. Based on its aura, it should be a prominent divine artifact.
At this time, Hua Tian Du was also holding onto a prominent divine artifact.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Hua Tian Du and his Undead Doppelganger moved in unison. Shockingly, his Undead Doppelganger could use triple Fused Profundities from the law of death as well. Usually, Undead Doppelgangers could only use profundities that the owner had comprehended. With this, one could see Hua Tian Du’s comprehension of the law of death was rather profound. From what the crowd could see, his comprehension of the law of death was not inferior to Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the law of space.
In fact, Hua Tian Du was just a step away from comprehending three triple Fused Profundities.
…
The crowd, who had noticed the eyes of Hua Tian Du’s Undead Doppelganger flashed to life, was shocked.
“So that’s his bloodline power?”
“His bloodline power transforms his Undead Doppelganger, and makes it no different from doppelgangers formed by the laws!”
“This means his doppelganger is as strong as Duan Ling Tian’s!”
“Hua Tian Du has never revealed this before!”
“No wonder he’s so confident! With this, even if Duan Ling Tian equips his doppelganger with a prominent divine artifact, he still won’t have an advantage. Moreover, based on Duan Ling Tian’s previous matches, it seems like his comprehension of the law is slightly lacking compared to what Hua Tian Du’s showing now.”
“If you ask me, even with the rudimentary Sword Dao, Duan Ling Tian is still no match for Hua Tian Du. After all, don’t forget that Hua Tian Du has a higher cultivation base.”
…
Similar to the others, Duan Ling Tian was also shocked when he saw Hua Tian Du’s display of power. He did not expect Hua Tian Du’s bloodline power would help him to transform his Undead Doppelganger into a doppelganger formed from a law. Moreover, based on what he could sense, he could tell Hua Tian Du’s Undead Doppelganger was not inferior to his law of space’s doppelganger.
Due to their limitations, Undead Doppelgangers could not wield weapons. However, Hua Tian Du’s Undead Doppelganger was different due to his bloodline power.
“How surprising. I didn’t expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve,” Duan Ling Tian said. Based on Hua Tian Du’s current strength, he knew no one from the first tier was a match for Hua Tian Du.
“Duan Ling Tian, I look forward to you surprising me as well. If what you’ve shown previously is all, I’m afraid you have no chance of defeating me. However, my instincts are telling me you have more tricks up your sleeve,” Hua Tian Du said before he and his Undead Doppelganger shot toward Duan Ling Tian.
Although Duan Ling Tian was surprised, he was not flustered.
…
At this time, many people sighed emotionally when they looked at Duan Ling Tian.
“Duan Ling Tian will definitely lose if he doesn’t have any more tricks up his sleeve.”
…
Duan Ling Tian did not disappoint Hua Tian Du. A prominent divine artifact appeared in his doppelganger’s hand at this time.
…
Upon seeing this, Linghu Huan turned to look at Linghu Zheng Xing and asked, “Did you lend him the other prominent divine sword?”
Linghu Huan had lent Duan Ling Tian a prominent divine artifact. He was sure the prominent divine artifact in Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger’s hand did not belong to his brother, Linghu Heng. In fact, he was sure it did not belong to Linghu Zheng Xing as well, but he had asked just to be sure.
Linghu Zheng Xing shook his head. “No. I’ve seen all the prominent divine artifacts in our clan, including yours and your brother’s. I’ve never seen that prominent divine artifact before so it should be his.”
