Although most of the disciples in the Black Turtle Sanctum thought Duan Ling Tian was quite strong since he was able to kill Gu Long who was at the peak of the Exemplary Stage, they did not think he was stronger than Zhang Ji!

Perhaps, Gu Long had a higher innate talent since he had a blue Innate Spiritual Root. However, in terms of strength, Gu Long could not compare to Zhang Ji at all. No matter what, Gu Long’s cultivation base was only at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage.

As an elite powerhouse among all Early Quintessential Saint Stage disciples in the Black Turtle Sanctum, coupled with the fact that he’s a Devil Cultivator who specialized in cultivating his body, his strength had surpassed more than 80% of the Early Quintessential Saint Stage disciples in the Black Turtle Sanctum!

“An elite powerhouse among all Early Quintessential Saint Stage disciples in the Black Turtle Sanctum? A Devil Cultivator who specializes in cultivating his body?” As the number of Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples increased, Duan Ling Tian heard their words and gained a deeper understanding of Zhang Ji. He kept all their words in mind.

As the saying went, ‘One who knows his own strength and his enemy’s strength is invincible in battle!’

Although Duan Ling Tian had learned about Zhang Ji’s strength, he did not feel fear at all. His expression remained calm.

Ten days ago, even if he was faced with an ordinary Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse, he would be able to come to a draw with the powerhouse if he transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and unleashed all his techniques. However, there was a chance he might be defeated because the Elementary Devouring Tactic depleted his Spiritual Energy quickly and the effect did not last long.

However, he had made a breakthrough today so it would not be difficult for him to defeat an Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse.

Even if Zhang Ji was an Early Quintessential Saint Stage Devil Cultivator, an elite powerhouse among all Early Quintessential Saint Stage disciples in the Black Turtle Sanctum, Duan Ling Tian was 80% confident he would be able to defeat him.

He was not 100% confident because he did not know if Zhang Ji had mastered any high-grade Divine Abilities or not. If Zhang Ji had mastered a high-grade Divine Ability, it might be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to defeat him.

The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples present on the scene did not know that ten days ago, when Duan Ling Tian fought Gu Long, he did not use all his strength and techniques. He did not even transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. He did not transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior because he did not think it was necessary. He could defeat and kill Gu Long without the need to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. The result proved that he was right.

“I wonder if I can defeat Zhang Ji without the need to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior…” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he stood opposite Zhang Ji.

He did not plan to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior as soon as he fought with Zhang Ji. In fact, he would not transform unless it was absolutely necessary.

Being able to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was his trump card after all. It was only natural that he would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary. It was the best to conceal one’s trump card and reveal it at the critical moment since it would yield a good result!

“He has already offended Elder Li An the moment he entered the Fire Worship Sect and the Black Turtle Sanctum? Ten days ago, he even killed a disciple at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage who possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root by relying on his two high-grade Divine Abilities even though his cultivation base is only at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage?” Zhang Ji had also learned about Duan Ling Tian from the discussion in his surroundings. He was shocked when he heard this.

He did not expect this Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple who wanted to challenge him for the ownership of his Secundus house was an Early Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. At the very least, he was an Early Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator ten days ago.

Due to the reason that he had heard Duan Ling Tian had killed a Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, he did not dare to underestimate Duan Ling Tian. At the very least, Duan Ling Tian’s strength could be considered to be at the top among powerhouses at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, especially after he cast his movement Divine Ability that was almost on par with an Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse!

“I can’t believe that during the time I was in closed-door cultivation, a strong person like you would come to the Black Turtle Sanctum. I believe during these ten days, you’ve broken through to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage, right?” Zhang Ji asked Duan Ling Tian coldly as he stared at him.

Duan Ling Tian did not come to challenge anyone for the ownership of Secundus house prior to this because he was aware of his own strength. However, today he instantly came to issue a challenge as soon as he left his house. This showed that he was confident about his chances of winning.

Duan Ling Tian sneered in response to Zhang Ji’s question as he asked indifferently, “What? Are you afraid now?”

“Scared?” Under the watchful eyes of the others, Zhang Ji smirked in response to Duan Ling Tian’s question. “Duan Ling Tian, you’re thinking too much. I admit you’re quite strong, and you might even be able to hold your own against an Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse once you have broken through to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage! However, do you really think that an Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse can compare to me? Today, I’ll show you that there are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens!”

As soon as Zhang Ji finished speaking, he flew up into the sky. He targeted Duan Ling Tian as he moved agilely like a swimming dragon.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

At the same time, when Zhang Ji made his move, Devil Qi rose in within a 100-meter radius around him. A 100 Devil shadows that were completely formed by pure Devil Qi appeared suddenly.

At this instant, it caused half of the sky to be covered with Devil Qi. It looked like dark clouds looming over a city, giving off a gloomy feeling.

“It’s the Hundred Devils Territory!” Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples exclaimed in unison.

“I can’t believe Senior Brother Zhang Ji consolidated the Hundred Devils Territory as soon as he made his move. It seems like he’s not underestimating Duan Ling Tian after learning about what happened. He’s not showing any mercy at all!”

“Hurmph! Since Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian dares to claim a Secundus house today, it means he must have broken through just like Senior Brother Zhang Ji said. Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian who has broken through to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage can fight a powerhouse at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage by relying on various techniques! How can Senior Brother Zhang Ji act recklessly at this moment?”

“That’s right! Although Senior Brother Zhang Ji can be considered as the strongest among all powerhouses in the Early Quintessential Saint Stage, he’s still at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage after all. It’s not like he’s at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage or higher!”

The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples discussed among themselves as they continued to look at Zhang Ji who was consolidating the Hundred Devils Territory.

At this moment, Zhang Ji was charging toward Duan Ling Tian at an extremely fast speed.

“Devil Assemble!” Zhang Ji shouted.

In just an instant, hundreds of Devil shadows in the Hundreds Devil Territory began to charge at Duan Ling Tian at an extremely fast speed as well.

The hundreds of Devil shadows seemed like a Devil cloud as it shrouded Zhang Ji, his speed accelerating.

This speed was way faster than the speed of an ordinary Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse!

“Elementary Devouring Tactic!”

“Golden Crow’s Wings!”

When Duan Ling Tian saw the menacing Devil Qi, Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grim immediately. He instantly cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic and immediately devoured the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy completely before he mobilized the powerful Sun Saint Energy.

After that, the Golden Crow’s Wings burst out of Duan Ling Tian’s back, and he began to flap his wings.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The gigantic pair of wings that were burning with scorching flames flapped, causing the air to stir violently before it set off a series of explosions.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian managed to put some distance between him and the Devil clouds since he was faster. During this time, he discovered the Devil clouds were quickly fusing together.

In the end, it transformed into a black armor on Zhang Ji’s body. It emitted a blood-curdling aura. Zhang Ji who originally had a huge stature looked even bigger now. He looked like a Devil God.

“His Territory actually has such an ability?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he saw this.

However, the most shocking thing had yet to come.

“Rooted Devil Shadow!” Zhang Ji snarled. He activated a medium-grade movement Divine Ability on his black armor. His speed instantly increased a few times. His speed was finally on par with Duan Ling Tian’s speed.

“Duan Ling Tian, our speed is evenly matched now. It’s better if you unleash all your techniques now!” Zhang Ji shouted as he activated the Saint Energy in his body to boost his Devil Qi. In turn, his speed became even faster than before. Although it was not by much, he was still faster than Duan Ling Tian. It allowed him to slowly close the gap between him and Duan Ling Tian.

If this continued, he would definitely catch up to Duan Ling Tian.

“He’s going to catch up to Duan Ling Tian soon!”

“Ten days ago, during the battle with Gu Long, Duan Ling Tian only relied on his movement Divine Ability. If it was not for the fact that he was faster than Gu Long, he wouldn’t be a match for Gu Long at all!”

“That’s right! Senior Brother’s advantage is his speed. Now that his opponent is faster than him, does this mean he’s going to be defeated by Senior Brother Zhang Ji’s chopper board soon?”

“I can’t believe that this battle has only started, but it’s going to end soon.”

Upon seeing this, many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples shook their heads one by one. They were certain the battle was going to end soon.

“Junior Brother Duan Ling Tian…” Even Jiang Chu could not help but frown.

He did not expect that Duan Ling Tian’s speed that was his advantage was no longer useful as soon as the battle between him and Zhang Ji had begun.
