Chapter 1777: High-Grade Divine Ability Relic?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Now that the deal has ended, I’ll need to rely on myself to walk the path in front of me,’ Xiao Dun sighed inwardly.

With his strength, every step would indeed be difficult for him in the Saint Martial Secret Zone.

Perhaps, he might be able to pass the trials of a low-grade Divine Ability Relic, but it would be impossible for him to pass the trials of a medium or high-grade Divine Ability Relic.

‘Why am I thinking so much for? Currently, I’ve already obtained an uncommon medium-grade Divine Ability, and this is already a pleasant surprise! With my current strength, it would be too greedy of me to ask for more Divine Abilities.’ The moment Xiao Dun thought of this, he felt much more at ease and a smile appeared on his face.

He had finally come to terms with this.

“Senior Brother Ling Tian, all the best to you.” After Xiao Duan glanced in the direction where Duan Ling Tian had disappeared, he turned around and became a lone ranger.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who had entered the swamp began to welcome his first trial.

The first trial was four wild beasts that appeared out of the swamp to block his way.

When the four wild beasts joined forces, their strength was on par with the five flying-type fierce beasts at the entrance of the palace.

However, these four beasts were from the same tribe so they had a tacit understanding with one another. Even so, they were just four wild beasts at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage. They were no match for Duan Ling Tian no matter how much they understood each other.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian managed to kill all of them with just a raise of his hand.

“Why is there no movement?” After killing the four wild beasts, Duan Ling Tian stretched out his Divine Consciousness everywhere, but he did not sense any movements.

In fact, whether it was the Six Harmonies Tower or the palace before this, a great door would open up after he passed the first trial.

Only when he had passed all the trials would he be able to obtain the Divine Ability Relic that was hidden inside!

However, at this moment, although he had already killed the four beasts that should be the first trial, he did not sense any movement in the surrounding. How should he go about the next trial and the ones after to obtain the Divine Ability Relic inside this swamp area then?

“Huh?” Duan Ling Tian was still baffled and thinking about this matter when his Divine Consciousness suddenly gave a jolt. “What’s going on?”

From his Divine Consciousness, he could sense a slight movement from the surrounding of the swamp area. The originally calm swamp began to bubble and boil, gradually increasing its strength. In the end, it was like a raging wave.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

When Duan Ling Tian was staring at the swamp’s surrounding solemnly, swift figures shot out of the swamp and covered the sky. They appeared in every direction around Duan Ling Tian, surrounding him like locusts. The light from above was blocked off as well.

“These wild beasts…” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian discovered the figures surrounding him were wild beasts.

These wild beasts were identical to the four wild beasts he had killed earlier.

“Intermediate, Mastery, and even the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage… There’s even Early Refined Saint Stage wild beasts as well!” After Duan Ling Tian activated his Divine Eyes and stretched his Divine Consciousness out to envelop the surrounding wild beasts, he soon discovered the weakest among these wild beasts were at the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage while the strongest ones were at the Early Refined Saint Stage.

There was not one but nine Early Refined Saint Stage wild beasts!

Nine Early Refined Saint Stage wild beasts!

Roar!

Roar!

Aaaooo!

…

Duan Ling Tian glanced at the wild beasts that seemed as many as a swarm of locusts. He could see there were thousands of them. “What kind of wild beast is this? To think that the clan is actually so huge!”

Duan Ling Tian could tell the wild beasts before him all came from beneath the swamp.

When he killed the four wild beasts earlier, he had enraged the wild beasts’ clan.

“Look at these wild beasts… Don’t tell me this is the first trial for the Divine Ability Relic?” Even Duan Ling Tian had no idea why such a thought suddenly rose up in his mind. The moment this thought appeared, it stayed in his mind.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up.

If this clan of wild beasts was the first trial for the Divine Ability Relic, did it mean the Divine Ability contained in the Divine Ability Relic was more powerful than his Six Harmonies Golden Body and the one that Xiao Dun’s obtained?

The moment he thought about this, he became excited.

As for the group of wild beasts before him, although they were great in numbers and quite powerful, they were nothing in front of him.

“However, why are they only staring at me and not attacking?” Duan Ling Tian was a little baffled when he saw the thousands of identical wild beasts not making any move at all. He did know what this group of wild beasts was trying to do.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian also took the time to study the group of wild beasts.

To be honest, although he had killed four of the wild beasts earlier, he did not bother looking closely at them at all. Now that he had the time, he carefully examined the characteristics of these wild beasts.

The type of wild beasts before him were humanoid wild beasts. Their bodies were swollen and they had a pair of flesh wings behind their backs. They had thick skin that was covered with wrinkles on their bodies. Coupled with their enormous head, they looked extremely disgusting.

Among the group of wild beasts, the nine Early Refined Saint Stage wild beasts were the biggest in size. Each of them was about five meters tall.

Those slightly weaker were about four meters tall.

The weakest ones were the shortest and smallest.

“Huh?” All of a sudden, Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness gave a jolt. He could sense a powerful aura had appeared at the swamp area behind him.

The aura was so powerful that it was even greater than the nine Early Refined Saint Stage wild beasts.

Colossal Sword Bell!

When Duan Ling Tian sensed the aura seemed to have dangerously locked on him, he immediately activated the Sun True Origin in his body.

In just a blink of an eye, streaks of golden dazzling sword rays formed a defensive layer around his body. It looked like a gigantic bell.

Bang!

At the moment the Colossal Sword Bell was formed, a loud sound resonated and the Colossal Sword Bell shook violently. As it turned out, a gigantic figure had tried to sneak an attack on Duan Ling Tian.

Although it could be considered successful in its sneak attack, it was unfortunate it could not break the defense of the Colossal Sword Bell at all.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the thing that tried to sneak an attack on him. It was a wild beast that was almost ten meters tall.

The appearance of this wild beast was identical to the thousands of wild beasts in his surrounding.

However, there was a golden dazzling crown on the head of this wild beast that was the size of a small hill, revealing his extraordinary identity.

Roar!

Auuuuu!

Growl!

…

At the same time, the thousands of wild beasts that were originally quiet in his surrounding looked at the crowned wild beast one after another and howled. Their high-pitched voice seemed to be filled with respect.

“It seems like this must be the king of the wild beasts.” Duan Ling Tian would have lived his entire life in vain if he still could not figure this out.

“The Mastery Refined Saint Stage… This wild beast king is actually at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage! If this group of wild beasts is really the first trial to obtain the Divine Ability Relic then the Divine Ability contained in it must be extremely high-grade! Naturally, a high-grade Divine Ability means the trials are going to be extremely difficult.” Initially, Duan Ling Tian was consumed with excitement. However, when he thought more about it, it was as though a cold bucket of water had been poured on him as he snapped back to reality.

Since the first trial to enter was already this difficult, would the coming trials be any easier? Of course not!

“I’ll stop thinking about the other things for now. The most important thing now is to solve this problem first.” Soon after, Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention back to the group of wild beasts in front of him. It was apparent from how the group of wild beasts had gathered to surround him while their king made a sneak attack that they did not come with good intentions.

Roar!

As the wild beast king roared furiously, the thousands of wild beasts that were originally watching by the side charged at Duan Ling Tian menacingly with a murderous gleam in their eyes.

When the thousands of wild beasts charged at Duan Ling Tian, his heart tightened even though he had been through and seen a lot.

Naturally, this did not mean Duan Ling Tian was afraid of them, it was just an instinctive reaction.

“Trying to win through numbers?” Faced with the clan of menacing wild beasts, Duan Ling Tian sneered.

In the next instant, the air within a 100-meter radius of him began to tremble before a gigantic golden ball enveloped the area.

However, the group of wild beasts did not seem to fear anything as they charged into the 10,000 Swords Territory that Duan Ling Tian had activated immediately.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

Inside Duan Ling Tian’s 10,000 Swords Territory, 10,000 sword rays whizzed around. Those weaker wild beasts that charged in were killed immediately while the strong ones were killed after withstanding two to three moves. Those that were even more powerful, on the other hand, were able to endure for a while, but in the end, they still could not escape death.

Soon after, the nine Early Refined Saint Stage wild beasts charged in as well.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” From when Duan Ling Tian had activated his 10,000 Swords Territory until now, he was merely watching by the side and only used his mind to control the Territory. Now that he saw the nine Early Refined Saint Stage wild beasts were charging in, he lifted his right hand slightly.

In the next instant, without any movement, his entire being vanished into thin air.

In just a blink of an eye, he appeared again on the same spot.

As for the nine Early Refined Saint Stage wild beasts, they fell from the sky one by one and lost their lives.

Roar!

When the nine Early Refined Saint Stage wild beasts died, the wild beast king outside the Territory seemed to be able to feel it as it let out an ear-deafening roar before charging into Duan Ling Tian’s Territory as well.

The remaining wild beasts charged into Duan Ling Tian’s Territory as though they were given a boost when they saw how furious their king was.

Unfortunately, only death awaited them.

“What? You’re going to avenge them?” Faced with the king of the wild beasts that was charging at him with bloodshot eyes, Duan Ling Tian sneered and charged at it as well. The sword ray in his hand shone in all directions like a dazzling sun.
