Chapter 1969: The Black Turtle’s Barrier
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian who had transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was completely exposed to the hundred bolts of lightning that were as thick as a baby’s arms. Even then, Duan Ling Tian stood unmoving just like a mountain.
As lightning flashed across the sky, a purple light appeared, causing the dragon scales on Duan Ling Tian to reflect the light, making it dazzling and blinding for all.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Finally, the hundred bolts of lightning that were as thick as a baby’s arms descended and struck Duan Ling Tian.
Each of the hundred bolts of lightning contained combat force that was in no way inferior to the attack of an Early Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.
When they were close to Duan Ling Tian, they seemed to have merged together and completely shrouded Duan Ling Tian.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian only felt a vast and terrifying energy sweeping over him, causing his body to tremble. Soon after, he realized that with the help of brute strength of a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior that had been infused with the Sun Saint Energy, he was not injured at all even though the force of the bolts of lightning made his body shake until it felt like his internal organs were also rattling. Despite the powerful force of the lightning, it was unable to break the defense on his body.
The brute body of a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, coupled with the Sun Saint Energy that was on par with the Saint Energy at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage Saint Energy, easily blocked Sun De’s attack that contained a Dao method and Divine Ability.
‘As expected from the defense of the body of a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. It’s comparable to an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon!’ Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief.
“Based on Sun De’s cultivation base, this attack is probably his most powerful attack!” Duan Ling Tian who forcefully withstood the hundred bolts of lightning that were as thick as a baby’s arms was unharmed. At the same time, all his dragon’s characteristics disappeared as he returned to looking like a human again.
He had hidden his ident.i.ty as a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior well.
“It’s my turn to attack now!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone as he withdrew his 10,000 Swords Territory that had blocked everyone’s sight.
In the next instant, a completely unharmed Duan Ling Tian appeared before everyone’s watchful eyes.
Sun De who was standing nearby had a horrified expression on his face when he saw this. He had thought his attack that he unleashed unreservedly would at least injure Duan Ling Tian.
If Duan Ling Tian was injured, he would have created an opportunity for himself. Perhaps, he could stall for time until the effect of Duan Ling Tian’s a.s.sist-type Divine Ability was gone. Once Duan Ling Tian lost the effect of his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability, he would return to normal or he might even be weakened.
Duan Ling Tian whose cultivation base was only at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage without the help of his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability would not be a match for him.
However, imagination was always beautiful, but thereality was mostly cruel.
Although he had unleashed his strongest attack, he had failed to injure Duan Ling Tian at all.
He did not know what kind of method Duan Ling Tian had used when he consolidated his Territory, but the fact remained that Duan Ling Tian was uninjured!
It was due to this reason that the upper hand he thought he would gain was lost and had now fallen into a disadvantageous position.
“He’s unharmed?” At the same time, when the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples saw Duan Ling Tian was unharmed, they were greatly shocked.
Although they knew Duan Ling Tian was stronger than Sun De now, they did not expect he would escape unscathed!
“Unfortunately, the Territory that Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian consolidated blocked our sight. Otherwise, we would be able to see how he withstood Senior Brother Sun De’s attack!” Many Four Symbols Sanctum’s disciples found this to be a pity.
Naturally, it did not cross their minds that Duan Ling Tian had intentionally consolidated his Territory to block their vision. They merely thought that Duan Ling Tian had to rely on his Territory to withstand Sun De’s full-force attack.
‘Senior Brother Sun De is going to be defeated now!’ At the same time, the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples present on the scene thought to themselves. They did not think there would be any more surprises left in this battle.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian looked at Sun De and said, “Senior Brother Sun De, I’m sorry!”
After giving him a warning, the wings made of flames appeared again. It was the Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings.
In the next instant, the Golden Crow’s Wings flapped abruptly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous explosions sounded in the air.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian charged toward Sun De at an extremely fast speed.
Sun De’s expression turned grave immediately as soon as he saw the Golden Crow’s Wings flapping. The Saint Energy emanating from the surface of his body increased rapidly. One could see he kept mobilizing his Saint Energy as though he was trying to do something.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian who moved at lightning speed appeared near Sun De.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
As Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Energy surged out of his body, golden sword rays appeared around him as well. Each of the sword rays contained a piercing aura that could tear through everything.
There were hundreds of these sword rays.
‘Go!’ Duan Ling Tian thought. The hundreds of golden sword rays that were originally revolving around his body seemed to have understood his order as they charged toward Sun De.
The hundreds of golden sword rays soared through the sky in a compelling manner!
Although the attack was not as visually impactful as Sun De’s attack, the force was in no way inferior to Sun De’s attack at all. It pressured Sun De as well as it charged toward him.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Sun De’s eyes were bloodshot as he cried out suddenly, “Black Turtle’s Barrier!” His voice was extremely loud.
His words shocked the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples so much that they widened their eyes in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was equally as shocked that he was momentarily stunned.
Black Turtle’s Barrier?
In the next instant, Duan Ling Tian could clearly see that before the hundreds of golden sword rays that were infused with the profundity of the Sovereign Heart Sword could get near Sun De, they had already been blocked by an invisible energy. It was as though they had crashed into an invisible wall!
In the next instant, under the watchful eyes of the others, the silhouette of a gigantic Black Turtle mysteriously appeared around Sun De’s body.
The Black Turtle’s silhouette was translucent, and if one did not pay close attention, one would not be able to see it clearly.
The hundreds of golden sword rays controlled by Duan Ling Tian were blocked by it. It seemed as though Sun De was protected by an iron wall.
Naturally, although the Black Turtle’s silhouette managed to block the attack, it was not easy either.
The gigantic Black Turtle’s silhouette was repeatedly attacked until rattled violently. Subsequently, a ripple appeared in the air and continued to spread out. It was visually impactful!
“This is the Black Turtle’s Barrier?” Despite his failed attack, Duan Ling Tian was not in a hurry to attack again.
Although he knew he would be able to easily shatter the Black Turtle’s silhouette using his Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, he was not in a hurry to do so. This was because he had something more important to do!
Duan Ling Tian was staring intently at the Black Turtle’s silhouette before him as though he was studying it. He was completely immersed in it.
As for the other Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples, they finally regained their senses one by one. They all had an expression of disbelief on their faces. “S-Senior Brother S-Sun De has successfully cultivated the treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier from the Black Turtle Sanctum?”
“Not only is the Black Turtle’s Barrier the most treasured Divine Ability in the Black Turtle Sanctum, but it’s also the number one defensive Divine Ability in our Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect! I can’t believe Senior Brother Sun De has successfully comprehended it!”
“Comprehending the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, also means that Senior Brother Sun De can now head to the Saint Land and become a Saint Land disciple!”
“When did Senior Brother Sun De successfully comprehend this Black Turtle’s Barrier? Since he has already successfully comprehended the Black Turtle’s Barrier, why didn’t he leave?”
The Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples whispered among themselves. Many of them found it weird that Sun De did not leave the First Mine despite having successfully comprehended the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier.
“Don’t tell me Senior Brother Sun De has only just comprehended the Black Turtle’s Barrier?” A Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciple could not help but guess.
His question created a commotion immediately.
Everyone looked at Sun De who was enveloped in the Black Turtle’s silhouette with a puzzled gaze.
Did he really just comprehend the Divine Ability from the Black Turtle Sanctum, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, now?
Was this true?
These were all the questions in their hearts.
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian regained his senses. His eyes were bright as he looked at Sun De who was enveloped by the Black Turtle’s silhouette as he asked, “Senior Brother Sun De, did you just successfully comprehended the Black Turtle’s Barrier now?”
Duan Ling Tian had noticed the pleasant surprise on Sun De’s face that was why he asked this question.
Earlier, when he was studying the Black Turtle’s silhouette, Duan Ling Tian had also noticed numerous flaws.
Due to this reason, he could tell that Sun De must have only successfully comprehended the treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, from the Black Turtle Sanctum not too long ago. However, when he saw the pleasant surprise on Sun De’s face, he was even more certain Sun De had only successfully comprehended the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, during the battle!
“That’s right!” When Sun De heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, Sun De suppressed the happiness in his heart and cupped his hand in front of his chest. “Junior Brother Ling Tian, it’s all thanks to you that I successfully comprehended the Black Turtle’s Barrier today! Thank you very much.”
As soon as Sun De finished speaking, he bowed at Duan Ling Tian.
Upon seeing this, the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples were dumbfounded.
What was happening?
Sun De had successfully comprehended the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, but why was he giving the credit to his opponent?
The Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples were baffled and so was Duan Ling Tian. “Senior Brother Sun De, what do you mean?”
“Earlier, due to the pressure from your attack, it seemed as though I was going through a life or death situation. At the brink of a situation like that, the numerous questions I encountered in the process of comprehending the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, in the past have all been answered. It’s all thanks to you I comprehended the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier!” Sun De who was extremely happy patiently explained to Duan Ling Tian
