Chapter 3467 - The Space Sword Dao
Chapter 3467: The Space Sword Dao
After Duan Ling Tian returned to his seat, the crowd finally broke into an uproar.
“His speed was really fast!”
“I didn’t even see his swords; I only heard the sword cry!”
“That’s right! His sword’s movement is too fast. No matter what, I’m a Two Star God of War, but I couldn’t even catch the sword’s movement!”
At the same time, Yu Dong Fang, the third true disciple of Gongsun Xuanyuan; the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven, wore a grave expression on his face. He could not see Duan Ling Tian’s sword as well.
As for Tong Tu, his body had broken out in cold sweat. He finally realized how much Duan Ling Tian had restrained himself previously. If Duan Ling Tian intended to kill him, Duan Ling Tian did not even need to launch a sneak attack to do so. Not only could he not see Duan Ling Tian’s sword, but he could catch Duan Ling Tian’s Teleportation Profundity as well. Based on all this, he could tell Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was significantly higher than his. He was only a Six Combos Celestial Emperor, but based on Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy, Duan Ling Tian was at least an Eight Trigrams Celestial Emperor or Nine Palaces Celestial Emperor like his Third Senior Brother, Yu Dong Fang!
Yu Dong Fang muttered to himself, “He did not use any fused profundity from the law of space…”
Upon hearing this, Tong Tu’s expression changed drastically.
After all, Duan Ling Tian’s opponent had used a Fused Profundity from the law of fire earlier; Tong Tu had witnessed this with his own eyes earlier. How could he not be shocked to find out Duan Ling Tian did not even need to use the law of space’s Fused Profundity to deal with his opponent’s Fused Profundity? He found this difficult to accept. Although the law of space was one of the Four Supreme Laws, it could not have been so heaven-defying that Duan Ling Tian could seriously injure his opponent without using a Fused Profundity! For Duan Ling Tian to be capable of such a feat only meant that there was a huge gap between Duan Ling Tian and his opponent’s cultivation bases.
“There’s such a big difference in their cultivation bases?” Tong Tu asked grimly.
“Their cultivation bases play a part as well, but the gap shouldn’t be too big. If I’m not mistaken Duan Ling Tian is a Nine Palaces Celestial Emperor while his opponent is an Eight Trigrams Celestial Emperor. Even with the law of space, he shouldn’t be able to injure his opponent to this extent since there’s only a level of difference between them…” Yu Dong Fang analyzed the earlier battle.
“Then, what’s the reason for it?” Tong Tu asked, bewildered. No matter how much he racked his brain, he could not figure out the reason for Duan Ling Tian’s domineering performance.
“Don’t tell me that you’ve already forgotten that whenever master speaks about Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang of the Solitary Destructive Heavenly, what is it that he admires the most?” Yu Dong Fang asked as he looked at Tong Tu meaningfully.
Tong Tu inhaled sharply upon hearing these words. His eyes widened as he said, “Third Senior Brother, you mean to say Duan Ling Tian has already created his own Dao like Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang?”
Whenever Gongsun Xuanyuan mentioned Feng Qing Yang to his true disciples, even more so than Feng Qing Yang’s feat of attaining godhood, Gongsun Xuanyuan admired Feng Qing Yang’s feat of creating his own Dao the most. After all, he wished more than anything to successfully create his own Dao; he was also very close to creating his own Dao. How could he not admire Feng Qing Yang who had already successfully created his own Dao?
“Master once said that if he could successfully create his own Dao, it won’t be long before he attains godhood as well,” Yu Dong Fang said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes, “It’s said that Duan Ling Tian only met Feng Qing Yang about 100 years ago. To think his Sword Dao has already reached such a high level. His achievements in the Sword Dao aren’t inferior to master’s…”
Yu Dong Fang knew that for Duan Ling Tian to be so powerful, Duan Ling Tian must have learned how to create his own Dao from Feng Qing Yang. Although Duan Ling Tian had obtained Feng Qing Yang’s legacy back in the mundane realm, which helped him build a stable foundation, Duan Ling Tian’s progress was still terrifying. With this serving as an example, he realized how important it was to walk on the right path. Although his master was also a genius in his own right, he had wasted a lot of time due to several mistakes in his cultivation. Nevertheless, he believed his master would be able to successfully create his own Dao given more time.
Similar to Yu Dong Fang, many Heavenly Emperors and high-ranking officials from the Title Temple branches were also analyzing Duan Ling Tian’s performance.
“Is that Feng Qing Yang’s Destruction Sword Dao? No, it seems different… Duan Ling Tian’s Dao contains the law of space instead of the law of destruction…”
“Now I finally see why Feng Qing Yang accepted Duan Ling Tian as his true disciple. Duan Ling Tian is simply a sword genius. How old is he? To think he’s already so close to creating his own Space Sword Dao after studying Feng Qing Yang’s Destruction Sword Dao!”
“All he needs is time to completely master his Sword Dao. At that time, he’ll be like another Feng Qing Yang!”
“No. Based on his untraceable attack alone, if he masters his Space Sword Dao, it’s likely he’ll even surpass Feng Qing Yang…”
The Heavenly Emperors looked at Duan Ling Tian with a burning gaze as they discussed among themselves. This was especially true for Ru Lai.
‘Feng Qing Yang actually taught his own Sword Dao to Duan Ling Tian. Does this mean once I possess Duan Ling Tian, I’ll be able to grasp Feng Qing Yang’s Sword Dao as well and create my own Dao? Duan Ling Tian is just a mere Celestial Emperor, it’d be as easy as flipping a coin to possess his body, right? His strength is far weaker than Ru Lai’s as well. I can’t completely destroy Ru Lai’s soul, but I should have no problem destroying Duan Ling Tian’s soul after possessing Duan Ling Tian’s body. Duan Ling Tian will definitely help me to progress in my journey to become a supreme powerhouse!’ Ru Lai’s gaze grew even more intense with these thoughts in his mind.
Meanwhile, Ding Fu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven, looked at Feng Qing Yang in shock. A complicated expression could be seen on his face as he said, “Heavenly Emperor Feng, you actually taught him your Destructive Sword Dao? Most importantly, he’s already grasped the essence and begun to create his own Space Sword Dao?”
Feng Qing Yang nodded slightly in response. The corners of his lips curled up into a small smile as he said, “I supposed his Space Sword Dao is passable for now…”
“You consider it passable for now?” Ding Fu felt like vomiting blood upon hearing Feng Qing Yang’s words. Then, he glared at Wei Qi, who was standing next to him, and said unhappily, “Do you see this? Your Junior Uncle Feng’s disciple is so outstanding. When you were his age, if you were to fight him, he would have easily defeated you…”
Wei Qi only smiled bitterly in response to his master’s words. He, the Skeletal Dragon Celestial Emperor, was made to sound so weak by his master. He did not dare to retort since he treated his master like his father. Moreover, although his master’s words sounded hurtful, his master was telling the truth. If he had faced Duan Ling Tian when he was Duan Ling Tian’s age, let alone one move, it was likely he would be unable to withstand half a move from Duan Ling Tian.
At the same time, the high-ranking officials from the Title Temple branches were also looking at Duan Ling Tian in shock.
“To have mastered the rudimentary stage of his own Sword Dao through studying Feng Qing Yang’s Destructive Sword Dao, this Duan Ling Tian is truly a monstrous genius!”
“In my opinion, he should be able to catch up to Feng Qing Yang in just a few thousand years…”
“That might not be the case. After all, while he’s improving, Feng Qing Yang will continue to improve as well. Don’t forget that Feng Qing Yang has already attained godhood…”
“Well, at the very least, Duan Ling Tian will possess Feng Qing Yang’s current strength in a few thousand years…”
Needless to say, compared to the young geniuses, the powerhouses could glean more details from Duan Ling Tian’s performance. Most of the young geniuses were rather clueless; only a small number of them could vaguely figure out Duan Ling Tian’s strength.
“When did the law of space become so heaven-defying? My friend also comprehended the law of space, but he’s only slightly stronger than me… Isn’t Duan Ling Tian’s law of space too exaggerated?”
“What tricks did he use? How could he defeat a Two Star God of War without using any Fused Profundity?”
“That’s right! His opponent is a Two Star God of War, not some rookie!”
Out of everyone present on the scene, perhaps, the person who was most shocked was Ling Jue Yun. As someone from the Divine Offering Land, a Realm of Gods, he had heard his elders talk about the laws and creating one’s own Dao. Everyone was capable of comprehending a law, but not everyone was capable of creating their own Dao. Just like possessing the Five Divine Elements could help one become a supreme powerhouse, creating one’s own Dao also helped in the journey of becoming a supreme powerhouse. Naturally, if one failed to complete the creation of one’s own Dao or evolve one’s Five Divine Elements to their highest form, one would still fail to become a supreme powerhouse.
“I didn’t expect you to have begun creating your own Dao… Did you learn it on your own?” Ling Jue Yun asked solemnly with a gleam in his eyes. If Duan Ling Tian truly learned to create his own Dao without any help, he would be a peerless genius in all Devata Realms, considering his age. Even supreme powerhouses would want to accept a disciple like Duan Ling Tian if that were the case.
