Chapter 1596: The Fifth Absolute, Blazing Phoenix!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Due to Duan Ling Tian’s confidence, Feng Tian Wu did not show any mercy when she made her move. Moreover, she had unleashed her full force as soon as she attacked. This showed how much she trusted Duan Ling Tian and also to show the others that she was not being lenient in any way.

She did not show any mercy nor was there a need for her to show any mercy.

“Tian Wu’s strength has actually risen to such a level.” When Duan Ling Tian saw Feng Tian Wu’s strength, he was extremely baffled. Although he knew she was strong, it did not cross his mind that she would be so powerful.

If he had not broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, it was unlikely he would be a match for her even if he had unleashed all his techniques.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

After looking at Feng Tian Wu, Duan Ling Tian had a pretty clear idea about her strength. With just a thought, the area within a 100-meter radius around him instantly transformed into a sea of swords.

10,000 swords charged forward, the area surrounding their wake seemed as though it was being torn apart. It was also accompanied by a piercing noise.

At the place where his Territory overlapped with Feng Tian Wu’s Territory, the Flame Territory began to shatter as the sword rays swept past like a mirror that had been hit with a heavy impact. Duan Ling Tian’s 10,000 Swords Territory was like a huge hammer that slammed down heavily on the surface of a mirror.

Like a domino effect, although only a part of Feng Tian Wu’s Flame Territory was shattered by Duan Ling Tian’s 10,000 Swords Territory, it began to affect the other parts of her Territory.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of the people, Duan Ling Tian’s extremely tyrannical 10,000 Swords Territory completely destroyed Feng Tian Wu’s Flame Territory. It seemed as easy as crushing dried leaves.

In fact, Feng Tian Wu’s Territory was considered very powerful. However, there was still a gap when compared to Duan Ling Tian’s 10,000 Swords Territory. In front of his Territory, her Flame Territory seemed so weak, crumbling at the first blow. It was completely destroyed in just a blink of an eye.

“I-Is this a joke?” When the people saw this, many of them had the same thoughts in their minds.

“Lady Feng is being lenient with Duan Ling Tian, right?”

“Isn’t this too obvious! Even if both of them are Imminent Saint Stage powerhouses, and even if there’s a gap between both of their Territories, it’s impossible for the difference to be so big, right?”

“Lady Feng must be holding herself back!”

Many people whispered to one another. All these people had one thing in common. None of them were Saint Stage powerhouses.

The Saint Stage powerhouses present on the scene, including Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, were all silent at this moment.

“This Duan Ling Tian really came from the Mortal Continent?” Zi Yun was baffled as she looked at Duan Ling Tian.

Although she had faintly guessed the man whom her disciple had fallen in love with would not be an ordinary man, she did not expect him to be so powerful!

Just his Territory alone had destroyed her disciple’s Territory.

As a Saint Stage powerhouse, she could, naturally, see her disciple was not being lenient. In fact, the Territory she had cast was its peak. Even so, her territory was instantly destroyed the moment Duan Ling Tian cast his Territory.

She was very certain Duan Ling Tian was not a Saint Stage powerhouse. It was exactly because of this she knew just how terrifying Duan Ling Tian’s Territory was. It was definitely not an ordinary Territory.

In fact, her disciple, Feng Tian Wu’s territory was an extremely advanced Flame Territory. The reason Feng Tian Wu was so powerful was also partly due to her powerful Territory.

However, the powerful Flame Territory Feng Tian Wu had relied on had shattered in front of Duan Ling Tian’s Territory. Everything happened in just a blink of an eye. It was so fast that most people did not even realize what was happening.

“What kind of Territory does Duan Ling Tian possessed exactly?” Old Man Yin from Skywreck Sect was extremely pale. After seeing Duan Ling Tian’s Territory, he felt Duan Ling Tian most likely was powerful enough to defeat Feng Tian Wu.

Just like Zi Yun, he was a Saint Stage powerhouse. He could see Feng Tian Wu did not show any mercy at all.

Even then, Duan Ling Tian still managed to gain the upper hand in regards to Territory.

The other Saint Stage powerhouses were astonished as well. As the group of Saint Stage powerhouses discussed with one another, the other people who had initially thought Feng Tian Wu was being lenient with Duan Ling Tian realized they had misunderstood her.

“If Lady Feng isn’t being lenient, then, isn’t the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Duan Ling Tian, really terrifying?”

“That’s right! It’s just too ridiculous! The moment his Territory appeared, it instantly destroyed Lady Feng’s Territory. Lady Feng’s a powerhouse ranked in the Heaven Ranking! It’s said that half of her strength relies on her Territory.”

“Without the advantage from her Territory, Lady Feng is like a tiger that has lost its teeth… How are they going to continue this battle?”

Many people were still in shock from Duan Ling Tian’s Territory.

After her own Territory was destroyed in just a blink of an eye, Feng Tian Wu was shocked as well. After a long while, she asked, “Big Brother Duan, what Territory is this? I feel that my Territory has no resistance at all in front of your Territory.”

“10,000 Swords Territory,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

“10,000 Swords Territory…” When Feng Tian Wu heard his words, she nodded. Soon after, her eyes begin to lit up.

Although she was certain Duan Ling Tian possessed the ability to fight her based on his confidence, the scene earlier had still shocked her. Just his Territory alone was enough to destroy her Territory.

When she thought about it, she had felt an oppressive aura charging at her. It caused her to have difficulty breathing at the instant her Big Brother Duan cast his Territory but at that time, she was not too concerned about it.

Only after her Territory was destroyed that she realized her strength was incomparable to her Big Brother Duan.

Since her Territory had been destroyed, this meant her strength was greatly affected as well. In such circumstances, the result was already determined.

“10,000 Swords Territory.”

When Duan Ling Tian replied Feng Tian Wu, the people in the surroundings also he heard his words.

“10,000 Swords Territory… As expected from its name. I’m afraid there are really 10,000 solidified sword rays in Duan Ling Tian’s Territory. On top of that, it looks no different from real swords.”

“What a domineering Territory… I can’t believe it’s so powerful!”

Most people’s attention was focused on the domineering sword rays in the area within a 100-meter radius around Duan Ling Tian.

These sword rays seemed to have surrounded Duan Ling Tian and formed a world of swords.

“10,000 Swords Territory?” Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, narrowed her eyes after she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. “If it’s really the 10,000 Swords Territory… Don’t tell me he’s the successor of the First Absolute?”

Zi Yun had a secret she held in her heart. She had a fortuitous encounter when she was young.

That fortuitous encounter allowed her to obtain the legacy of a female powerhouse that claimed she was the successor of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny, the Fifth Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect. After she had obtained the legacy of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny, she became the only successor of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny.

It was exactly because of that fortuitous encounter that allowed her who originally did not have a powerful innate talent to exceed her own potential. It was how she came to possess power that even the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family feared.

She knew very well that if it was not for that fortuitous encounter, it would be uncertain if she could even be a Saint Stage powerhouse whom the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family feared.

Her entire life had been changed by that fortuitous encounter. Due to this reason, she was extremely grateful toward the female powerhouse who left the Blazing Phoenix Progeny legacy to her. She still remembered her message.

According to the message the female powerhouse left behind, she had mentioned she hoped after Zi Yun had obtained the legacy, she would continue to pass on the legacy of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny until the emergence of the Seven Absolutes Writ from the Seven Absolutes Sect.

Once the Seven Absolutes Writ appeared, their Blazing Phoenix Progeny would have to return to the Seven Absolutes Sect, and if it was required by the Seven Absolutes Sect, they would have to sacrifice everything for it.

Zi Yun knew that her innate talent was only ordinary and it would difficult for her to have major accomplishments even if she continued to raise her strength. Due to this reason, she began to search for young talented geniuses who could carry on the legacy of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny since a long time ago.

Feng Tian Wu was the young talented genius whom she decided to pass the legacy to. Although she was from the Mortal Continent, her innate talent was extraordinary.

What was more shocking was the progress that Feng Tian Wu made by cultivating the Blazing Phoenix Progeny’s mental cultivation technique was so fast that it was as though the Blazing Phoenix Progeny’s mental cultivation technique was tailored for her.

Based on Feng Tian Wu’s current achievement that relied on the Blazing Phoenix Progeny in this short period of time, Zi Yun knew she could proudly lift her head in front of the female powerhouse who had passed the Blazing Phoenix Progeny legacy to her.

Due to her ordinary innate talent, it was difficult for her to carry the responsibility of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny. However, her disciple could.

She believed her disciple would not be weaker than the other five successors of the Seven Absolutes Sect, not counting the First Absolute, Fog Rain.

She did not dare to compare to the First Absolute, Fog Rain.

This was because, in the message left behind by the female powerhouse who had passed the legacy to her, there was some information regarding the Seven Absolutes Sect contained in it as well. It explained the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, in details.

As the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, the Fog Rain Progeny was unlike the other six Absolutes.

It could stay dormant for several thousands of years without having a successor. It could go several tens of thousands of years or several hundred thousands of years without a successor. However, the moment its successor appeared, it would mean the dawn of a new era.

There was a saying that circulated in the Dao Martial Saint Land, ‘The successor of Fog Rain of the Seven Absolutes Sect will be able to produce clouds with a turn of the hand and rain with another turn of the hand.’

That saying had also been acknowledged by the majority of the people in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Based on that, one could see just how well-known the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, was.

“It’s said that the previous Fog Rain’s successor was a powerhouse who called himself the Sword Saint. The Territory he had mastered was none other than the 10,000 Swords Territory!” This was the reason why Zi Yun was stunned when she heard Duan Ling Tian saying that the Territory he had mastered was the 10,000 Swords Territory.
