Chapter 1999: Warming Up

Boom!

With the blood energy suffusing its body, the mountain-like gigantopithecus that was holding on to the long spear took one step forward, causing the air to tremble and setting off a deafening sound.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next instant, the gigantopithecus charged toward Duan Ling Tian at a fast speed. Every step it took caused an air explosion.

The air explosions shook the Saint Land disciples seated around the Death Arena so much that their expression began to turn grave. It was as though each step the gigantopithecus took landed on their chests.

“What great timing!” Faced with the menacing gigantopithecus, Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. At this moment, an earth-shattering transformation also happened to him.

From what the Saint Land disciples could see, the things that had been transformed were Duan Ling Tian’s hands and legs that were revealed from the Saint Land disciples’ uniform. At this moment, his hands and legs had transformed into dragon claws.

After a while, as the dragon scales appearing on Duan Ling Tian’s skin began to thicken, the uniform exclusive to Saint Land disciples on his body began to tear. s.h.i.+ny black dragon scales were exposed to the crowd, allowing them to see the transformation of a Dragon Warrior.

All of these happened in just a blink of an eye, it was so fast that the crowd had a hard time catching what was happening.

Their eyes were glued to Duan Ling Tian’s dragon claws. Each of his hands and legs had nine claws that were gleaming brilliantly.

The humanoid dragon body with nine claws revealed his extraordinary ident.i.ty as a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.

“Golden Crow’s Wings!” As soon as Duan Ling Tian transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, a pair of flaming wings sprouted out of his back.

Whoos.h.!.+

A sword also appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s right dragon claw.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian took the sword out, Yang Wen narrowed his eyes as he suddenly yelled, “Duan Ling Tian!” His voice was filled with rage and hatred.

This was because he recognized the sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand. The sword was the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword that used to belong to his younger brother, Yang Wu!

In the next moment, Yang Wen’s face turned red as both his arms and legs began to move rapidly.

That gigantopithecus that was pouncing toward Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, also began to mimic Yang Wen’s movements. It seemed like he was controlling the gigantopithecus at this instant.

“Die!” Under the watchful gaze of the others, the gigantopithecus opened his mouth and actually spoke before it roared with anger and hatred.

This voice clearly belonged to Yang Wen!

At this second, Yang Wen seemed to have possessed the gigantopithecus as it charged toward Duan Ling Tian while holding the spear.

At once, the bloodshot eyes of the gigantopithecus that was being controlled by Yang Wen gleamed even more intensely. At the same time, the muscles on the gigantopithecus’ right arm also began to swell up to an absurd proportion. It was twice the size of what it was before.

Swis.h.!.+

The thick arm swept out as the 30 meters long spear in the gigantopithecus’ hand transformed into a bolt of thick lightning that was shrouded in blood energy as it charged toward Duan Ling Tian.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

…

The lightning that was shrouded by blood energy was extremely thick. It was as thick as a human’s thigh. The air vibrated and there was a deafening sound in its wake. It was as though the sky was going to split open.

Upon seeing this, the group of Saint Land disciples who were still dumbfounded by Duan Ling Tian’s transformation could not help but hold their breaths. They were watching everything intently as though they were afraid they would miss out on this interesting show.

“What good timing!” Faced with the spear from the gigantopithecus’ hand that had transformed into a bolt of lightning, battle intent rose in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. As he hollered loudly, he tightly gripped the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword in his hand. Apart from that, the pair of flaming Golden Crow’s Wings on his back seemed to have frozen at this moment.

All of a sudden, he flapped the Golden Crow’s Wings. Two b.a.l.l.s of flames instantly shot out.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of deafening explosions instantly reverberated in the air. Its force even overpowered the commotion caused by the spear the gigantopithecus that was controlled by Yang Wen wielded.

Swoos.h.!.+

As the Golden Crow’s Wings flapped, Duan Ling Tian’s entire being seemed to have transformed into a gigantic fireball. He looked like a meteor falling from the sky as he charged toward the menacing gigantopithecus.

The gigantopithecus’ spear swept swiftly. However, Duan Ling Tian’s speed was even faster!

When Duan Ling Tian’s body was fast approaching the gigantopithecus, he brushed past the spear. He could even hear the sound of friction between the spear and the air as he brushed past it.

“Get away!” The gigantopithecus yelled. Its long spear swept horizontally toward Duan Ling Tian who was just next to it. It was trying to send Duan Ling Tian flying back.

Duan Ling Tian who was only slightly over 1.8 meters tall appeared particularly tiny in front of the 30 meters long spear. If he was. .h.i.t by the spear, he would definitely be sent flying back violently.

If that happened, he would definitely be heavily injured, if not dead.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the instant when the long spear in the gigantopithecus’ hand swept out, in just a flash, Duan Ling Tian made his move as well. He flapped his Golden Crow’s Wings as he flew toward the long spear that was aimed at him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As three faint sounds resonated in the air, Duan Ling Tian had already drawn close to the spear. Three of his sharp dragon claws were embedded into the spear like nails while the remaining claws held on to the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword.

Although Duan Ling Tian voluntarily chose to face the spear head-on before it could land on him directly, causing even more damage, he still felt an intense pain spreading in his body.

The force of the spear that was almost nullified by the brute body of a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior still made his internal organs rattled.

Barf!

Duan Ling Tian threw up a mouthful of blood, causing his face to turn pale.

“Die!” The gigantopithecus yelled furiously out of humiliation when it saw Duan Ling Tian had decided to face the spear head-on. Then, it swiftly flew down to the Death Arena.

When it was approaching the Death Arena, it flicked the long spear in its hand. As it turned out, it was trying to smash the Death Arena.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was holding on to the spear, it was trying to smash the spear on the ground in hopes of crus.h.i.+ng Duan Ling Tian to death.

“Golden Crow’s Wings!” Naturally, Duan Ling Tian would not resign himself to death.

When the gigantopithecus swung its long spear on the ground, Duan Ling Tian cast his movement Divine Ability to dodge the attack.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian moved away, the spear in the gigantopithecus’ hand slammed violently on the ground of the Death Arena.

Bang!

A thunderous sound reverberated in the air as a deep crack appeared on the ground of the Death Arena. The crack was particularly deep where the tip of the spear had landed.

“How powerful!”

“The Death Arena is made from a special material! Even if a powerhouse at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage strike at it unreservedly, it would be difficult for him to even leave a dent on it. However, Senior Brother Yang Wen’s strike has left a deep crack on it!”

“As expected from a powerhouse at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Senior Brother Yang Wen is just too powerful!”

The Saint Land disciples seated around the Death Arena finally began to speak. They were all in awe of Yang Wen’s strength.

“However, Duan Ling Tian’s speed is not slow!”

“That’s right! He could even dodge the spear that the gigantopithecus that’s controlled by Senior Brother Yang Wen wielded. His speed is invincible among those below the Saint Celestial Stage!”

“I’ve long heard that the movement Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian mastered is far more powerful than the most treasured movement Divine Ability in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum. Now that I’ve finally witnessed it today, it does indeed live up to its fame!”

After a while, many of the Saint Land disciples marveled at the movement Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings, that Duan Ling Tian had cast.

…

“Duan Ling Tian is really quite strong!” Liu Yun could not help but praise.

“Brother Yun, I’ve told you before that he’s not a simple person.” Liu Mu who was sitting next to Liu Yun raised his brow. He was slightly happy since Liu Yun did not regard Duan Ling Tian very highly earlier.

“It’s too early for you to feel happy!” However, Liu Yun soon splashed a bucket of cold water on Liu Mu.

“So far, Yang Wen has only cast a medium-grade offensive Divine Ability. Although his medium-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Three Flowers Unification is top-tier among medium-grade offensive Divine Abilities, as far as I know, he has also mastered another high-grade movement Divine Ability! However, only he can use this high-grade movement Divine Ability. The gigantopithecus is merely a clone consolidated by his medium-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Three Flowers Unification. Although its force is strong, this is not his true strength!” Liu Yun spoke the truth in just one breath.

Although Liu Mu had confidence in Duan Ling Tian’s ability, upon hearing Liu Yun’s words, his expression turned solemn immediately.

“Not only that, but Yang Wen is a true disciple after all. Who knows, he might have some hidden techniques up his sleeve. As the son of the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, he must have something to protect his life at the crucial moment. Something like a forbidden pill!” Liu Yun continued to say.

Earlier, Liu Yun had also learned about Yang Wen’s ident.i.ty from the Saint Land disciples seated around him.

The son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect.

“Forbidden pill?!” Upon hearing Liu Yun’s words, horror dawned on Liu Mu.

If Yang Wen who was at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage consumed a forbidden pill, would his strength be raised to the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?

Liu Mu believed Yang Wen’s strength would be greatly raised if it was a forbidden pill given by Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect!

…

‘If Duan Ling Tian only has these few techniques, he’s no match for Yang Wen at all! However, when he p.a.w.ned this bow to me, I could faintly feel the confidence he emitted!’ The custodian of the Palace of Death, Nie Zui, looked at the shabby bow in his hand before he looked at Duan Ling Tian as he thought to himself, “Where did he get his confidence from?”
