Chapter 2299 Duan Ling Tian, You Concealed Your Strength Very Well!
“It seems like I overestimated its strength… Or should I say I underestimated my strength…”
Duan Ling Tian had flown far away because he was afraid the lightning would endanger Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan. For the safety of the three women, he had cast the movement Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings, and quickly flew away from them. However, it seemed like he did not need to do that at all. Just a moment ago, he had only waved his hand and did not even cast any martial tactics, Divine Abilities or utilize the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword, and yet, he had easily dealt with the first lightning bolt from the Tribulation Clouds. His vast Saint Origin had overwhelmed the lightning bolt easily, it did not set off any storm at all.
He was completely unharmed.
Yuwen Hao Chen!’ After Duan Ling Tian dealt with the lightning bolt, he felt a piercing gaze on him. He discovered it belonged to Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace!
Yuwen Hao Chen was a middle-aged man of medium build. Although his looks were not particularly outstanding, as the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, he had a superior air about him. His entire being radiated an aura of someone who held a high position. Today, Yuwen Hao Chen seemed exactly the same as when Duan Ling Tian had first seen him. He wore a silver robe as well. When he looked at Duan Ling Tian, he discovered Duan Ling Tian fearlessly returning his gaze.
Apart from Yuwen Hao Chen’s cold gaze, Duan Ling Tian could see a hint of shock on his face as well. In fact, Yuwen Hao Chen was not the only one who was astonished. Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by this. After all, he himself was also shocked by the tribulation lightning.
Previously, I felt that my comprehension of Heaven and Earth has hit a bottleneck, but now it seems like I’ve reached the limit of my comprehension! When I dealt with the Lightning Tribulation earlier, I could sense the strong connection between my Saint Origin and heaven and earth. Its connection is not inferior to Yuwen Hao Chen’s connection to heaven and earth three years ago. In fact, it’s even comparable to Yuwen Hao Chen’s Saint Origin when he dealt with the lightning bolt earlier. This means I’ve met all the conditions to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!’ Duan Ling Tian was excited when he thought about this. He finally discovered he was facing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. He had noticed the Tribulation Clouds that were brewing in the sky had not only locked onto Yuwen Hao Chen, but it had locked on to him as well!
It seems like I have Yuwen Hao Chen to thank for this… Usually, people who have comprehended heaven and earth to my level would need to find a chance to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. However, I’m lucky that Yuwen Hao Chen attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation when my comprehension of heaven and earth has reached the limit. For this reason, Yuwen Hao Chen’s Tribulation Clouds sensed this and sent a Tribulation Lightning my way!’ At this moment, he discovered that not only did his ability to comprehend heaven and earth had reached its limit, but his comprehension of heaven and earth had also reached its limit for the time being.
Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen looked at each other for a long time but none of them spoke. The atmosphere was very tense.
On the other hand, although the main people involved were quiet, the people in the surroundings certainly had no qualms about discussing this matter.
“My goodness! Am I seeing things? The second bolt of lightning actually went for Duan Ling Tian!” An elder from Wandering Saint Palace exclaimed, breaking the brief silence.
“The second bolt of lightning? I don’t think it’s the second bolt of lightning. The lightning bolt that struck at Duan Ling Tian was similar to the one that struck at Lord Palace Master!” Another Elder of the Wandering Saint Palace chimed in.
“So what’s happening exactly?” Many disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace had a confused expression on their faces.
“If I’m not mistaken…” At this time, a Vice Palace Master from Wandering Saint Palace spoke up, his tone slightly troubled as he said, “Similar to Lord Palace Master, Duan Ling Tian is also undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation!”
Duan Ling Tian was also undergoing Heavenly Tribulation!?
Silence descended on the scene when the Vice Palace Master from Wandering Saint Palace finished speaking.
After a while, someone finally asked, “This… How’s this possible!? How can Duan Ling Tian also undergo the Heavenly Tribulation!? Lord Palace Master is the one who attracted this Celestial Ascension Tribulation!”
“Exactly! Lord Palace Master’s the one who attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Why is Duan Ling Tian also suddenly undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation… Impossible!”
“There are certain conditions that have to be met if one wants to attract the Heavenly Tribulation. One of them is to have a certain level of comprehension of heaven and earth. It’s impossible for Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of heaven and earth to reach that level!”
More and more elders and disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace began to question the situation.
Another Vice Palace Master shook his head as he said, “Is it really impossible for Duan Ling Tian to comprehend heaven and earth to the required level?”
“When Duan Ling Tian dealt with the Tribulation Lightning earlier, his current connection to heaven and earth is very strong and isn’t inferior to Lord Palace Master!”
“It’s quite obvious that Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of heaven and earth is on par with Lord Palace Master!” The Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace sounded very certain when he said this.
“His comprehension of heaven and earth is on par with Lord Palace Master?” It took a while for the elders and disciples from Wandering Saint Palace to digest the Vice Palace Master’s words.
At this time, another Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, Huang Qi Ling’s father, said, “Rumor has it that when one’s comprehension of heaven and earth has reached its limit and successfully attracts the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, if there’s coincidentally another person whose comprehension has also reached its limit present, the latter might be able to benefit from the former and attract the attention of the Tribulation Clouds from the former’s Celestial Ascension Tribulation! If I’m not mistaken, this is exactly what’s happening right now.” Then, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with a complicated gaze. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would be so strong. He remembered his son had said that Duan Ling Tian was no match for the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace three years ago!
“How’s this possible!?”
“I’ve never heard about anything like this!”
The elders and disciples of Wandering Saint Palace were shocked when they heard Huang Qi Ling’s father’s explanation.
Was this really possible? They had never heard of such a thing before.
Huang Qi Ling’s father turned to look at Huang Qi Ling and asked skeptically, “Are you certain Duan Ling Tian was absolutely not a match for Lord Palace Master three years ago? His current strength is on par as Lord Palace Master!”
“Father, three years ago, I witnessed it with my own eyes. Three years ago, Duan Ling Tian was indeed no match for Lord Palace Master… As for how he has grown so strong, I really don’t know the reasons!” Huang Qi Ling said wryly. Although he looked solemn, inwardly, he was very excited. Just a moment ago, when he saw how strong Duan Ling Tian had become, he realized there was a chance Duan Ling Tian could survive this catastrophe. He became even more hopeful when his father mentioned Duan Ling Tian was not inferior to the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace!
“That is impossible!” Huang Qi Ling’s father found Huang Qi Ling’s words hard to believe. “How can someone who was not a match for Lord Palace Master three years ago advance so much in such a short time? Even if he’s a prodigy, it’s still impossible!”
“I really don’t know.” Huang Qi Ling shook his head in response.
Meanwhile, the people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls were frightened by the strength Duan Ling Tian had displayed. He was strong enough to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation as well?
All of them were discussing this matter among themselves. Their discussion was not unlike those people from the Wandering Saint Palace.
“His comprehension of heaven and earth has reached such a level?” Shi Nan Feng’s expression darkened when he discovered this. He did not expect someone whom he was eager to kill had grown so strong to the point where that person was even stronger than him. Since this Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ling Tian, had relied on Yuwen Hao Chen to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, this means if Duan Ling Tian was able to pass the tribulation, he would become an Eminent Celestial. If this happened, it would be easy for Duan Ling Tian to kill them with just a wave of his hand. He knew very well he was no match for Duan Ling Tian at all.
“Damn it! How could Duan Ru Feng have such a powerful son?” Not only was Shi Nan Feng upset, but he was also jealous of Duan Ru Feng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion! At this moment, his eyes were, naturally, trained on Duan Ling Tian’s companions.
Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, Gan Ru Yan.
Shi Nan Feng’s eyes glinted coldly. It was as though he wanted to vent the anger he could not vent on Duan Ling Tian on his companions instead.
After staring at each other for a long time, Yuwen Hao Chen finally broke the silence between them. “Duan Ling Tian, you’ve concealed your strength very well!” His gaze became more threatening as he spoke. Three years ago, Duan Ling Tian was as vulnerable as a baby in front of him. However, currently, Duan Ling Tian was evenly-matched with him. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian had even used him to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation as well.
At this time, Shi Nan Feng raised his voice and said coldly, “Palace Master Yuwen, kill him! Don’t tell me you’re planning to help that human become an Eminent Celestial!”
