Chapter 1826: Are You Even Capable of That?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The peak of the Eminent Saint Stage?” Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes when he heard the words of the Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples from the Zhao Clan. Although he was baffled, he was inwardly glad. “It’s good that I’ve entered the Divine Saint Stage. Otherwise, I won’t be able to kill Ling Tian today!”

Whoosh!

Under the watchful eyes of the group of Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples from the Zhao Clan, his figure flashed and disappeared into thin air. Naturally, he did not really vanish. His speed was just too fast that it seemed that way to the others.

“Little Junior Brother’s speed…” The Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples from the Zhao Clan exchanged glances with each other. All of them could see the shock and disbelief in each other’s eyes.

Although most of those who were lucky enough to survive were only at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage, they knew it was impossible for a powerhouse at the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage or even the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage to possess such speed that appeared as though he had vanished.

Only powerhouses at the Divine Saint Stage and above were capable of this! Naturally, there was also another possibility. He might be using a Dao Talisman!

There were some high-grade evasion Dao Talismans. Once they were activated, it was not difficult for the user to look as though he had vanished into thin air before the eyes of Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Martial or Dao Cultivators.

“I knew from the beginning that Lord Guardian and Lord Vice Mansion Master adore Little Junior Brother a lot. After what I witnessed today, I’m even more certain of it! The evasion Dao Talisman that Little Junior Brother used today must’ve been given to him by Lord Guardian or Lord Vice Mansion Master! Based on how it seemed like he had vanished into thin air, it must be a very high-grade Dao Talisman then!”

“He who has wealth speaks louder than others! It’s such a high-grade evasion Dao Talisman, but Little Junior Brother is just casually using it!”

“It’s bothersome to make comparisons! Little Junior Brother is doted upon by everyone the moment he was born, and the road to his future has been paved for him. He’s nothing like us. We have to rely on ourselves on this journey!”

From the beginning until the end, the group of Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples from the Zhao Clan did not even think of the possibility that Zhao Ji had broken through to the Divine Saint Stage.

As members of the Zhao Clan, they knew Zhao Ji very well. Although Zhao Ji’s innate talent was good, he would most likely break through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage at most. They did not even think he would be able to break through to the Eminent Saint Stage yet, let alone the Divine Saint Stage. They felt that it was just impossible.

If Zhao Ji did not cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, perhaps, it would be just like what the group of Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples from the Zhao Clan thought.

However, Zhao Ji had cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, and after he had absorbed a large amount of young women’s vital energies and blood, his cultivation base had already entered the Early Divine Saint Stage!

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was making his journey to a faraway land. This time, he did not deliberately suppress the Sun True Origin in his body as he traveled at his fastest speed. His speed was equivalent to a powerhouse at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage. It made him look like a cannonball that was shot out as he flew across the sky. The clouds parted in his wake.

From afar, it seemed as though a heavenly path was being paved to the south!

The Azure Cloud Mansion’s estate was located in the south.

‘Since when did I begin to feel sympathy for those who want to kill me?’ Duan Ling Tian mocked himself and chuckled when he recalled the scene earlier.

Earlier, he could have waited for all of the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage disciples from the Zhao Clan to get close to him before he made his move and kill all of them.

However, at that instant when the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage disciples from the Zhao Clan charged toward him, he did not know why but a sense of sympathy rose in his heart. For this reason, he made his move immediately and killed all the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage disciples from the Zhao Clan who made a move without any fanfare.

As for the group of Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage disciples from the Zhao Clan, he merely scared them as a warning. He did not kill them. If it was the former him, he would never spare those who intended to kill him.

‘Could it because I’m in a good mood since I’ll be reunited with father and mother soon that’s why I spare their lives?’ In the end, this was the only explanation Duan Ling Tian could come up with.

Whoosh!

Without warning, a thunderous and piercing sound resonated from behind Duan Ling Tian. Based on the sound, it was fast approaching him.

“How fast!” Duan Ling Tian who was flying at his fastest speed was taken aback when he heard the sound of air whistling.

In fact, Duan Ling Tian’s speed was not considered slow even among powerhouses at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage… However, the speed of the person behind him was even faster than his speed.

“A Divine Saint Stage powerhouse!” Duan Ling Tian instantly guessed the cultivation base of the person pursuing him. Only a powerhouse at the Divine Saint Stage would possess such speed.

“Didn’t Senior Brother Gu ask some men to stop those Divine Saint Stage powerhouses from the Zhao Clan from leaving? How did this person escape?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression was slightly grave, but he did not panic.

This was because he discovered the person pursuing him was very fast, but it was not so fast that he would not be able to deal with it.

‘If I’m not mistaken, the person chasing after me is at the Early Divine Saint Stage!’ Duan Ling Tian became even calmer when he thought of this.

If he did not have the Jasper Celestial Sword, perhaps, he might be a little fearful of an Early Divine Saint Stage powerhouse. However, he possessed the Jasper Celestial Sword, and he was confident he would be able to kill an Early Divine Saint Stage powerhouse with it!

Naturally, due to the wide gap between the Divine Saint Stage and Eminent Saint Stage, even if he used the Jasper Celestial Sword, he would still need to activate at least 50% of the Sun True Origin in his body to kill an Early Divine Saint Stage powerhouse.

“It might be a little troublesome if there are three Early Divine Saint Stage powerhouses but… Huh? Devil Qi? This person at the Early Divine Saint Stage is a Devil Cultivator?” As the person pursuing him came closer to him, Duan Ling Tian could clearly feel the suffocating aura from behind him.

At the same time, the Devilseal Tablet in his Spatial Ring began to tremble, alerting him of the situation immediately.

The Early Divine Saint Stage powerhouse pursuing him was a Devil Cultivator! Duan Ling Tian could not help but sneer when he confirmed the person pursuing him was a Devil Cultivator.

If that person was not a Devil Cultivator, he would have to exhaust 50% of the Sun True Origin in his body to use the Jasper Celestial Sword to kill this person. However, now that he had confirmed the person was a Devil Cultivator, there was no need for him to use the Jasper Celestial Sword at all.

With the Sun True Origin in his body that was equivalent to the True Origin of a powerhouse at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, he would be able to kill Devil Cultivators at the Divine Saint Stage and below using the Devilseal Tablet.

‘I’d like to see who’s the unlucky one who came looking for me…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he came to a halt. He turned around and looked in the distance.

From afar, a figure covered in dense Devil Qi was charging toward Duan Ling Tian at an extremely fast speed. It was so fast that even Duan Ling Tian could only see his afterimage.

After Duan Ling Tian activated his Strange Pupil, the figure of the person pursuing him gradually became clearer.

With just a glance, Duan Ling Tian was dumbfounded.

“Ling Tian! It seems like you know there’s no way for you to escape!” A cold voice sounded. The Early Divine Saint Stage powerhouse who pursued him was now standing near Duan Ling Tian.

“It’s you!” Duan Ling Tian was so dumbfounded because he recognized the Early Divine Saint Stage powerhouse who pursued him. Moreover, he was very familiar with this person as well.

Not even in Duan Ling Tian’s wildest dreams would he imagine the Early Divine Saint Stage powerhouse who was pursuing him would turn out to be this person.

Zhao Ji!

The grandson of Zhao Jin, one of the two Guardians of the Mystical Sky Mansion and the son of Zhao Deng, the Vice Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion.

Duan Ling Tian remembered Zhao Ji was only an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator less than two years ago. However, his cultivation base had already entered the Early Divine Saint Stage. Not only that, but he had converted to a Devil Cultivator.

Although Duan Ling Tian had seen and experienced a lot of things, he still could not help but feel dumbfounded by such a speedy cultivation speed.

“Ling Tian! I bet it didn’t occur to you that it would be me, right?” Zhao Ji laughed upon seeing the baffled and shocked expressions on Duan Ling Tian’s face. Zhao Ji felt extremely happy, proud, and smug.

“It has been less than two years, but you’ve broken through to the Early Divine Saint Stage from the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage. It seems like you had a fortuitous encounter during these two years!” After a while, Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath to calm down. His baffled and shocked expression was replaced by a calm expression.

“Ling Tian, I, Zhao Ji, have been waiting for this day for a long time. Today, I will seek revenge from you!” Zhao Ji’s eyes gleamed with a sheen of redness. He shouted angrily, and when he reached the end of his sentence, he sounded a little hysterical.

He remembered that time at the summit of the Heaven Palace when Duan Ling Tian had humiliated him by publicly slapping him twice.

He remembered the time when they were in the Saint Martial Secret Zone. He had only been in there for three days before Duan Ling Tian had intentionally kicked him out.

Rage boiled in Zhao Ji’s chest as though it was about spill out!

“Seek revenge?” Duan Ling Tian remained calm faced with the hysterical Zhao Ji. “How do plan on doing that?”

“How? I’m going to kill you! Don’t worry, I won’t let you die so easily. I’m going to slowly torture you. You’ll die only when the last drop of blood leaves your body!” Zhao said furiously. His eyes were bloodshot.

“Kill me? I’m not looking down on you, but are you even capable of that?” Duan Ling Tian mocked him.

Duan Ling Tian did not regret the way he treated Zhao Ji. If Zhao Ji was not so rude and overbearing, would he have lowered himself to Zhao Ji’s level? There were so many people in the Mystical Sky Mansion. It was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to just pick on Zhao Ji alone.

“Ling Tian, you’re still as ridiculous as before! You just said so yourself. I’m at the Early Divine Saint Stage now! Early Divine Saint Stage! Won’t it be easy for me, an Early Divine Saint Stage powerhouse, to kill you, a Martial Cultivator who’s at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage?” Zhao Ji laughed out loud before he smirked. The Devil Qi on his body turned even more dense as it surged up into the air.
