Chapter 2941: Switching To Another Royal Grade Celestial Weapon

“How arrogant!”

“So he thinks he can defeat Young Master Huang with one move?”

“He’s dreaming!”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, most people thought Duan Ling Tian was too arrogant. As a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, even if Huang Jia Long was not the strongest, he was still considered as one of the top three strongest Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials in the Supporting Fall Nation. How could they believe a young man who had not even reached the age of 100 would be able to defeat Huang Jia Long with just one move? How preposterous!

At this moment, Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City, who had maintained a blank expression all this while looked at Duan Ling Tian with a faint sneer on his face. Even the strongest Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial in the Supporting Fall Nation, the Fourth Prince of the Supporting Fall Nation, needed at least ten moves to defeat his son.

Huang Jia Chao, Huang Yuan Fei’s youngest son, clicked his tongue before he said, “This brat is really cocky.” Similarly, he did not think it was possible for Duan Ling Tian to defeat his elder brother with just one move.

Back on the battlefield…

“Elementary Devouring Tactic!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After Duan Ling Tian cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic to devour the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings, the golden buddha silhouette and the purple energy kept increasing.

In the mundane realms, the Elementary Devouring Tactic was so powerful that it could quickly drain an entire area of its Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. However, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Devata Realms was, naturally, superior to the mundane realms. In the Imperial Palace of the Supporting Fall Nation, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was so dense that Duan Ling Tian’s Elementary Devouring Tactic did not even cause a ripple. It was only natural since the Elementary Devouring Tactic was only considered a Heaven Grade Divine Ability in the Devata Realms. Although Duan Ling Tian had fully mastered it, it still could not compare to Duke Grade Divine Abilities.

An umbrella materialized in the hands of the golden Buddha silhouette that flashing with purple energy as the umbrella in Duan Ling Tian’s hand released an energy that transformed into a protective barrier around him.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Huang Jia Long was only a hair’s breadth away from Duan Ling Tian. The air clearly stirred in his wake as he thrust his spear forward. The blood-red light flashing at the tip of his spear brightened before it shot out. At the same time, the golden dragon-like energy around the spear flashed and merged with the blood-red energy.

Boom!

As soon as the golden energy and the blood-red energy merged, it exploded. A terrifying force crashed ferociously against Duan Ling Tian’s golden Buddha silhouette like an ancient beast.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under Huang Jia Long’s attack, the golden Buddha silhouette flickered as the purple energy around it disappeared. It looked as though Duan Ling Tian’s defenses were about to be breached.

‘If I only use the Celestial Origin Energy of a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, it’d be difficult for me to block his attack… Huang Jia Long’s strength is indeed superior to most peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials. Besides, not all of my Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities are superior to his. I can only use the strength of a One Basic Celestial Duke to block his attacks.’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned solemn when he felt the strength of Huang Jia Long’s attack. Then, he focused on increasing the strength of his Celestial Origin Energy to that of a One Basic Celestial Duke. It was difficult for him to suppress his Celestial Origin Energy to that of a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial while exerting the strength of a One Basic Celestial Duke. It was fine for a short time, but it was difficult to suppress for a long time. Alas, he had no choice. If people sensed his Celestial Origin Energy that was equivalent to a Celestial Duke, he would be disqualified from the Southern Heaven Combat. Most importantly, it would anger the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation. As the saying went, ‘An emperor’s anger could only be quenched by the blood of hundreds and thousands of people’. It would not be difficult for him to kill the emperor with his consumable Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, but he did not want to use it unnecessarily. After all, he only had two uses left.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Everyone watched with bated breaths as Huang Jia Long’s spear struck Duan Ling Tian’s defenses.

“Amazing defenses!”

Although Duan Ling Tian’s golden Buddha silhouette was flickering as though it was going to shatter at any moment, many people were impressed that it lasted as long as it did. After several breaths’ time, everyone was shocked when they saw Duan Ling Tian managed to withstand Huang Jia Long’s attack.

“H-how’s that possible?!” Huang Jia Long looked dumbfounded when he saw that he failed to breach Duan Ling Tian’s defenses even after he had attacked with almost all his might.

Even Hu Ji Yong, the Fourth Prince of the Supporting Fall Nation, who was seated next to the emperor was stunned. Although he was able to defeat Huang Jia Long, it was impossible for his defenses to withstand Huang Jia Long’s almost full-strength attack.

“You have one more move left,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, most people regained their senses immediately.

“Monster!”

“This purple-clad young man’s defense is terrifying!”

At this moment, no one questioned Duan Ling Tian’s strength anymore. More and more people began to think it would not be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to defeat Huang Jia Long. Nevertheless, they still did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to defeat Huang Jia Long with just one move. After all, just because one had an extremely strong defense did not mean one’s strength was equally as strong.

“How should I address you?” Huang Jia Long asked with a calm expression. However, hints of admiration could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was rare to be able to meet such a young powerhouse. The purple-clad young man was so powerful even though he had not even reached the age of 100. Moreover, he could tell the young man had fully mastered all his Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, including his assistive Divine Ability that was not of the duke grade.

“Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian responded indifferently.

“Brother Duan, based on the strength of your defenses, it’s clear I won’t be able to breach your defenses. I don’t think the outcome will change even if I attack again. So, why don’t I defend against your attack now?” Huang Jia Long had used nearly all his strength earlier to attack. He thought it was more practical for him to give up and defend against Duan Ling Tian’s attack instead since he did not think he would be able to breach Duan Ling Tian’s defenses even if he attacked with all his might.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Huang Jia Long calmly and said, “When you defend yourself, you may attack as well. I still stand by my words; if I can’t defeat you with one move, I’ll admit defeat.” At some point, he had put away his umbrella, the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.

Many people were confused by Duan Ling Tian’s action of putting away the umbrella.

“W-why did he put his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon away?”

“Isn’t he going to attack with his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?”

“His Royal Grade Celestial Weapon is a defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon… If he uses it to attack, its strength wouldn’t be any stronger than an offensive Duke Grade Celestial Weapon. Maybe he’s going to switch weapons?”

“You have a point. He’s able to block Young Master Huang’s attack largely because of his defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.”

Although most people guessed that Duan Ling Tian was going to change his weapon, they could not help but gasp in shock when they saw the rod in Duan Ling Tian’s hand that was shining with a mysterious energy. They had thought he was going to bring out an offensive Duke Grade Celestial Weapon. How could they not be shocked to see another Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?

“Heavens! It’s another Royal Grade Celestial Weapon!”

“Who’s Duan Ling Tian? Not only is he powerful, but he even casually brought out two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons!”

“He must have a remarkable background!”

“Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?”

“Another Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?”

The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation stared at Duan Ling Tian intently as he muttered to himself, “This young man is not an ordinary sectless cultivator…”

“Two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons?” Imperial Concubine Lan who was seated next to the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation looked as though she was going to faint at this moment. ‘This little b*stard has two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons?’ After she recognized Duan Ling Tian as her nephew’s killer, she could not wait to tear Duan Ling Tian into a million pieces to avenge her nephew. However, when she saw Duan Ling Tian possessed two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons, she realized seeking revenge might prove to be a difficult task. A hint of despair began to well up in her heart at this moment. Would someone who possessed two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons be an ordinary person with a simple background?

‘If I kill him, will those behind him kill me as well? I’m not sure if I’m even able to kill him since it’s likely that he has powerhouses secretly protecting him…’ With this thought in mind, Imperial Concubine Lan sent another message to her eldest brother.

“Brother Duan, I surrender… Two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons? Who are you?” Huang Jia Long smiled bitterly when he saw Duan Ling Tian casually switching between two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons. With this, he realized Duan Ling Tian was not being arrogant when he said he was going to defeat him with just one move.
