Chapter 2556 Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic
Although Duan Ling Tian did not use his Celestial Supreme Treasure, with his current strength, he was stronger than Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. This was due to his complete mastery of the offensive Divine Ability, the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords. This Divine Ability was superior even among the Divine Abilities from the Devata Realms. After he cast this Divine Ability, his strength had increased by three times.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Battle Formation alone at its full force was comparable to the full-force attack of a weak Golden Celestial from the Devata Realms. However, even the weakest Golden Celestial was extremely powerful compared to people in the mundane realms. Not even Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were a match for them.
The strength of a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was only comparable to a Heavenly Celestial in the Devata Realms. One should know that in the hierarchy in the Devata Realms, Golden Celestials ranked higher than Heavenly Celestials. It was only natural that even the strongest Heavenly Celestial was not a match for the weakest Golden Celestial.
Apart from Duan Ling Tian and his opponent, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the Devil Clans, only the seven Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the Devil Clans could vaguely see Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Battle Formation.
As for the others, they only felt the wind blowing and heard the sound of wind whistling in the air.
“How’s this possible?!”
“He… He’s not even using a Celestial Supreme Treasure, and yet, he’s already so strong? He had effortlessly dispelled Master Wu Ji’s full-force attack! He even forced Master Wu Ji to cast the Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic?!”
“Heavens! Is he really human?!”
“Didn’t people say his strength is only comparable to the patriarch of the dragon clan even after he wielded his Celestial Supreme Treasure? What nonsense! He can clearly kill a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial without the help of a Celestial Supreme Treasure!”
“Is it possible that he has been hiding his strength?!”
The seven Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the Devil Clans were shocked by what they could vaguely see of Duan Ling Tian’s power. If they did not witness this with their own eyes, they would not believe Duan Ling Tian possessed this level of strength.
“With his strength now, even if he’s not as strong as his wife, he has to be pretty close, right?”
“Where did Duan Ling Tian and his wife come from? How is it that these people from the Lower Province become so monstrously powerful when they’re not even 100 years old!?”
As difficult as it was for the seven Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from Devil Clans to believe this, the truth was laid bare before their eyes. They could no longer look the other way and pretend that nothing happened.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian said, “I take back my words from before. You’re slightly stronger than the patriarch of the dragon clan. My attack would have definitely killed him.”
When the onlookers regained their senses, they saw Duan Ling Tian looking in the distance, in the northeast direction. He seemed to be talking to himself. After a moment, they saw a beam of blood-red light appearing in the distance where Duan Ling Tian was looking at. After that, it began to distort before it turned into mist. Eventually, it condensed into a figure of a human. A familiar figure appeared in front of them.
“Master Wu Ji?”
“Master Wu Ji, what… are you doing?”
The Devils recognized the person who had just appeared. However, they were confused. The person who had appeared was Wu Ji, the strongest person in the Devil Clans. He had been lucky enough to survive Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Battle Formation attack. However, the elder before them seemed to have weakened and aged considerably at this moment.
Meanwhile, the humans looked at each other in confusion. They had no idea what had just happened. Although there were no Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials among the humans, there were a few Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. They could not see clearly what had happened, but they knew Duan Ling Tian and that Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial had fought. Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian had the upper hand and was about to kill his opponent when his opponent suddenly escaped using some mysterious technique.
“This Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from Devil Clans seems to be injured? It doesn’t look like a light injury either.”
“What happened? Wasn’t he attacking at Duan Ling Tian before he escaped? How come he ran back here?”
“On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian has just been standing there the entire time.”
All of a sudden, a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans seemed to have recalled something and cried out, “The Heaven Demon Blood Escape Technique! Master Wu Ji cast the Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic from our Devil Clans. In the past hundred thousand years, no one has managed to master this technique!”
The Devils were shocked when they heard this.
It was no secret that the Devil Clans were skilled at Blood Escape Tactics. Even Celestials who cultivated Devil techniques could cast Blood Escape Tactics. However, the Blood Escape Tactics had different levels. The Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic was the most powerful Blood Escape Tactics in the mundane realms.
As for the Devil Clans in the Devata Realms, they had much stronger Blood Escape Tactics, but it could only be cast in the Devata Realms.
For this reason, there were no Blood Escape Tactics in the mundane realms that were stronger than the Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic.
The side effect of the Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic was not too significant. It would consume 90% of the caster’s physical strength, and the caster could only regain strength in a natural manner, without the use of potions or pills.
“Unless one is in a life or death situation, most people wouldn’t cast the Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic. After all, it would deplete one’s strength and it would take a while before the strength is recovered.”
“I still can’t believe Master Wu Ji has mastered the Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic… However, now that he had cast the Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic, it means he’s in great danger now!”
“Life or death situation? Doesn’t this mean that Duan Ling Tian almost killed Master Wu Ji earlier?!”
“Yes!”
The Devils were shocked and in awe that Wu Ji had mastered the Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic. However, they knew the fact that he was forced to cast the technique did not bode well for him.
‘Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic?’ Duan Ling Tian looked at the strongest Devil from the Devil Clans. ‘This old man seems interesting.’
Finally, Duan Ling Tian looked at Wu Ji and asked in a deceptively soft voice, “Now, do you still think I’m bluffing?”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, various expressions flitted across the old man’s face. His eyes seemed to dim as he sighed. “Not only does your wife possess the strength of a Golden Celestial, but I didn’t expect your strength is not inferior to hers as well.” He paused for a moment before he said, “If you had used your Celestial Supreme Treasure, I… I wouldn’t have been able to cast my Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic in time!”
Upon hearing Wu Ji’s words, the expressions of the Devils in the surroundings changed drastically. Even without using his Celestial Supreme Treasure, Duan Ling Tian was capable of killing a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! How strong would he be if he had used his Celestial Supreme Treasure?
“Duan Ling Tian hid his strength so well!”
“As it turns out, his strength is not inferior to his wife!”
“I can’t believe this! How is Duan Ling Tian so strong?”
Apart from a select few, everyone from the Devil Clans was frightened out of their wits. They only hoped Duan Ling Tian would spare their lives at this moment. It was clear that the Devil Clans had lost. There was no way for them to turn the tables.
On the contrary, the humans present on the scene were elated.
“Heavens! Duan Ling Tian is so powerful!”
“Judging from the words of the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans, Duan Ling Tian isn’t any weaker than his wife!”
“Yes. He couldn’t even defeat Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, from the beginning, Duan Ling Tian didn’t even wield his Celestial Supreme Treasure. Otherwise, he would be even stronger!”
“To think I thought he was being arrogant earlier. I truly underestimated him!”
“You’re not the only one. All of us jumped to conclusions too quickly.”
When the humans remembered their behavior toward Duan Ling Tian earlier, they felt remorseful.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian looked at the old man and asked, “If I’m not mistaken, after you cast the Heaven Demon Blood Escape Tactic, you could’ve escaped, and I wouldn’t have been able to trace you. Why didn’t you do that?”
