Chapter 2577 Wang Wei Strikes

Before Duan Ling Tian had time to think about those cutting gazes, he was shocked to discover the Celestial Ascension Pool was now filled with so many people. ‘Why are there so many people here?” He was dumbfounded as he looked at the large group of people who had yet to become Heavenly Celestials. He was still unaware that he was the cause of their delay in becoming Heavenly Celestials.

“Wang Wei!” When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he discovered the cutting gazes were from the men standing by the Celestial Ascension Pool. One of them was Wang Wei. Currently, there were seven men who stood next to Wang Wei. There were three young men, two middle-aged men, and two old men. All of them wore armors similar to Wang Wei’s.

Duan Ling Tian was still staring at Wang Wei when a question was thrown at him.

“Lad… Is it because of you that these newly ascended people have yet to become Heavenly Celestials?!” The person who had spoken was one of the old men who was dressed in silver armor.

“They have yet to become Heavenly Celestials?” Duan Ling Tian turned to the other men dressed in silver armors when he heard the old man’s question.

‘Logically, a man in silver armor would appear once in a while to bring a batch of newcomers away. Similar to how Wang Wei was the only one around when I woke up. When those who had ascended at the same time as I woke up, Feng Qing arrived to take away the next batch of newcomers. However, there are now seven men in silver armors apart from Wang Wei… Currently, there are eight times more people compared to earlier… Is it possible that due to the Elementary Devouring Tactic devouring the force in the Celestial Ascension Pool, I somehow stalled their progress of becoming Heavenly Celestials?’ It did not take long before he figured out what had happened. No wonder the old man in silver armor had asked him such a question.

‘Who knew by following third uncle’s order, I would cause so many cultivators to fall behind.’ Duan Ling Tian shook his head helplessly when he thought about this.

Bang!

Duan Ling Tian no longer wasted time. He stomped his feet on the group and leaped out of the Celestial Ascension Pool like an eagle taking flight.

Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the newcomers who were still in the Celestial Ascension Pool and said, “I apologize…”

Meanwhile, the old man who had questioned Duan Ling Tian was enraged when he saw Duan Ling Tian had no intention of answering his question. “Lad, you dare to ignore me?!”

At the same time, an excited voice exclaimed, “You finally came out!” It was none other than Wang Wei. He was thrilled when he saw Duan Ling Tian had finally left the Celestial Ascension Pool. In just a blink of an eye, he flew toward Duan Ling Tian at lightning speed as his eyes were filled with chilling killing intent.

Whoosh!

Wang Wei shot out like a cannonball toward Duan Ling Tian. “Brat, I told you I’ll cripple your arm and leg before stomping you into the ground and disfiguring your face with my foot!” His voice sounded bloodthirsty when he spoke.

Upon seeing this, the old man who had questioned Duan Ling Tian earlier felt his anger subside. A hint of delight over Duan Ling Tian’s misfortune could be seen on his face.

As for the remaining six men, they stared at Duan Ling Tian sympathetically. In their opinion, it was definitely a misfortune for a newly ascended cultivator to offend Wang Wei.

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian regained his senses as soon as Wang Wei made his move. He saw Wang Wei moving toward him with the speed of a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the mundane realms. He could tell Wang Wei was not using any Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities, this meant without external help, Wang Wei’s basic strength was comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the mundane realms.

“Crippling my arm and leg? Disfigure my face with your foot?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes and expression turned cold. Even the aura he emitted was so cold that it seemed as though the temperature in the surroundings had dropped as well. He said with a sneer, “We’ll have to see if you’re capable of that.”

Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate as he cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic. Instantly, black whirlpools began to appear around him. The whirlpools began to quickly devour the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Celestial Ascension Pool’s surroundings. However, this time it did not deplete the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surrounding. This was because Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was still fairly low, and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Devata Realms was very rich. It was not something the mundane realms could compare to.

Nonetheless, Duan Ling Yuan had managed to rapidly increase his Celestial Origin Energy. Although it was only temporary, it still granted Duan Ling Tian with strength that was seemingly able to tear the heavens and earth apart! In any case, that was how Duan Ling Tian felt.

Compared to Wang Wei’s Celestial Origin Energy, Duan Ling Tian’s improvement was nothing. Nevertheless, the Elementary Devouring Tactic was not the only technique Duan Ling Tian planned to use against Wang Wei.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian’s Heavenly Veins had been enhanced. He discovered as Celestial Origin Energy coursed through his veins, the veins were further enhanced. Currently, whenever his energy coursed through his veins, it would be enhanced as well. How could he not feel shocked when he discovered this?

‘Sword!’ With just a thought, the Celestial Origin Energy surged out of him through the 99 Heavenly Veins before solidifying into sword rays that hovered around him like loyal guards.

‘This… It’s as though I cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic twice!’ Feeling the enhanced Celestial Origin Energy surging out his body, Duan Ling Tian was delighted by this unexpected surprise. Based on what Elder Huo had told him, he had known Heavenly Veins were not much use in the mundane realms. He did not expect after following Xia Jie’s advice, the 99 Heavenly Veins were so powerful and useful. It seemed as though he was bestowed double the effects of the Elementary Devouring Tactic!

“Hm?” When Wang Wei drew closer to Duan Ling Tian, he saw the tens of thousands of sword rays hovering around Duan Ling Tian. He could also sense the piercing aura from them. An ominous feeling rose in his heart at this moment. Several thoughts appeared in his mind immediately. ‘How’s this possible? How can a newcomer emit this sense of danger?’ A hint of disbelief could be seen in his eyes as he became guarded.

Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum!

Then, a drumming noise came from Wang Wei. Wang Wei’s well-built body began to grow rapidly. He grew from a normal man with a height of 190 com to a ten-feet-tall giant. Strangely, the silver armor did not shatter with his sudden growth. Instead, it grew with him.

“Did Wang Wei cast his assist-type Divine Ability?”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The seven men dressed in silver armor were shocked by Wang Wei’s rapid growth!

Meanwhile, Wang Wei spread his arms and two balls of vast Celestial Origin Energy shot out from his palm. In just a blink of an eye, it turned into pillars that seemed like a cage. It was clear he intended to trap Duan Ling Tian in the cage.

“Gravity?” As soon as Duan Ling Tian was in the cage, he could feel the gravity increasing outrageously at a swift speed. If it was another newcomer, they would not have been able to withstand this. Even Duan Ling Tian felt a slight pressure from this.
