Chapter 1633: A Collision Between Territories

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Duan Ling Tian’s appeal was much stronger than Lin Dong in the people’s eyes, this did not mean they were optimistic about Duan Ling Tian’s chances of winning today. They were from Windfall Nation, and they only favor Duan Ling Tian because he rose to fame here.

If Duan Ling Tian had gone to the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion to fight Lin Dong, and the spectators were from Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, the scene would have been different.

Although Lin Dong knew this, he still could not accept he was one-upped by someone else, regardless if the other party was a local. He was the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking and the pride of Lin Clan in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion after all.

Hence, he was not polite when he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Humph! You’re Duan Ling Tian? Putting on airs and arriving late, I really hope you won’t disappoint me today.”

“I definitely won’t disappoint you,” Duan Ling Tian responded calmly to Lin Dong with a slight smile on his face. His expression was carefree as though he would remain unbothered even if Mount Tai were to collapse in front of him.

At this moment, the people from King Qian’s estate had their eyes trained on Duan Ling Tian as well. “Duan Ling Tian!”

King Qian had only seen Duan Ling Tian’s portrait. This was his first time meeting Duan Ling Tian in person. Even if he was reluctant, he had to admit this handsome young man with an extraordinary bearing was an outstanding person.

The two old men standing behind King Qian stared at Duan Ling Tian with a burning gaze. They knew he possessed the Devilseal Tablet. In King Qian’s estate, apart from Ye Feng and King Qian, only these two old men knew that Duan Ling Tian possessed the Devilseal Tablet.

“Duan! Ling! Tian!” Ye Feng’s expression turned grave when he saw the purple-clad young man he had met once. During their last encounter, the Dark Nether Sect’s Supreme Elder was killed by him, and he barely managed to escape.

He felt chills running up his spine when he thought about the Devilseal Tablet in Duan Ling Tian’s hands. At that time, if the Devilseal Tablet did not go after the Supreme Elder, he would have died!

Next to Ye Feng, Situ Ming stared at Duan Ling Tian coldly.

In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was the reason he was in this predicament!

From the beginning, Duan Ling Tian had disrupted his plans over and over again. Moreover, he even destroyed his strongest ally, the Dark Nether Sect, and forced the Sect Leader, Ye Feng, to seek refuge with King Qian. It left him with no other option except to betray his clan and defect to King Qian’s faction, enduring all the criticism.

‘Duan Ling Tian, I want to see you die with my own eyes… It’s unfortunate I can’t kill you with my own hands,’ Situ Ming thought to himself as his eyes gleamed coldly.

The old man beside Ye Feng and Situ Ming, the leader of a group of bandits in the southern frontier of Windfall Nation, Ye Mu Bai, was also staring at Duan Ling Tian coldly. ‘He’s the one who killed Third Brother? The former Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Duan Ling Tian?’

There was intense hatred in Ye Mu Bai, Ye Feng, and Situ Ming’s eyes. Duan Ling Tian might not have noticed it if it was just one person. However, it was hard to miss three hate-filled gazes directed at himself.

Out of three of them, he recognized Situ Ming and Ye Feng. It was his first time seeing Ye Mu Bai.

‘I don’t think I know him. Why does it seem like he wants to eat me alive?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes held a hint of confusion as he looked at Ye Mu Bai.

However, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. ‘That’s right! He must be the Great Chief of the group of bandits! He must be the eldest brother of the Third Chief whom I’ve killed, and the former servant from King Qian’s estate, Ye Mu Bai!” Duan Ling Tian finally figured it out when he recalled the news Situ Hou brought back the other day.

He was no longer surprised when he saw the hatred in the other party’s eyes.

“Ye Feng!” Duan Ling Tian was not bothered with Situ Ming and Ye Mu Bai. However, he wanted to kill Ye Feng badly. This was because Ye Feng knew the Devilseal Tablet was in his possession. Moreover, judging by the burning gazes and greedy expressions on King Qian and the two old men’s faces, it was very likely they knew about it as well.

Duan Ling Tian became even more certain King Qian had invited Lin Dong over to kill him and snatch the Devilseal Tablet from him.

Based on the current situation, it seemed like Lin Dong was not aware of the fact that Duan Ling Tian possessed the Devilseal Tablet. ‘It seems like King Qian is not being completely honest with Lin Dong… That’s only natural since Lin Dong and the Lin Clan would definitely covet the Devilseal Tablet if they know about it. There’s no way King Qian would lead a wolf into his house.’

Apart from the people from King Qian’s estate, the eyes of the people from King Rong’s estate were also trained on Duan Ling Tian.

‘He can still maintain his composure under such circumstances… Is Duan Ling Tian really confident or is he just faking it?’ King Rong had always prided himself on his ability to read people, but he could not read the purple-clad young man before him.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian and Lin Dong looked at each other before they moved. They flew to the other side of Northern Mang Mountain. There were fewer people there so they could fight freely.

Both of them stood on opposing sides in the air. The purple and white figure moved gracefully in the air.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

…

When the people saw Duan Ling Tian and Lin Dong had chosen a place to fight, they immediately rushed over there. They covered half of the sky as they gathered to watch the fight. There were so many people that they occupied the area within a thousand-meter radius.

Naturally, Martial and Dao Cultivators with a lower cultivation base stood in the distance. They did not dare to stand too close in case they were accidentally injured.

Lin Dong looked at Duan Ling Tian indifferently as he said in a low voice, “Duan Ling Tian, you should be honored to die by my hands.”

Based on his words, he was certain he would kill Duan Ling Tian. In fact, he did not feel any suspense at all toward this battle.

‘How arrogant!’ Many people shared the same thought when they heard Lin Dong’s words.

However, most of them felt his arrogance was justified. He was the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking from Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion after all.

Although Duan Ling Tian was powerful enough to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking, most people thought his strength was not comparable to Lin Dong’s strength.

“It’s such a waste that the strongest person among the younger generation in Windfall Nation is going to die here today…”

“Duan Ling Tian is younger than Lin Dong. If he’s given a few more years, it’s not impossible for him to defeat Lin Dong. However, it’s impossible for him to win now.”

“God is really envious of his talent!”

Many people looked at Duan Ling Tian pitifully. They did not think he would win.

There was a small group of people who had full confidence in Duan Ling Tian. These people were, naturally, Bai Li Hong and the others.

After staring intently at Lin Dong, Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “Based on your words, you won’t be able to rest in peace if I kill you?”

“You think you can kill me? That’s only possible if you’re stronger than me!” Lin Dong sneered arrogantly. It was as though he was looking at ants when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

“I think it’s more suitable for me to say that sentence,” Duan Ling Tian said with a slight but confident smile.

“I really don’t know where you get your confidence from!” Lin Dong’s face darkened. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would still be able to smile at a time like this. Suddenly, a wave of fierce aura surged out from his body.

The space within a hundred-meter radius of Lin Dong began to stir.

A Territory was forming rapidly.

“You’re using Territory in front of me?” When Duan Ling Tian sensed the aura of a Territory, a slight smile appeared on his face.

Ever since Duan Ling Tian mastered the 10,000 Swords Territory, he did not fear the Territories of Martial and Dao Cultivators below the Saint Stage. In fact, many people had died under his 10,000 Swords Territory.

When Lin Dong was forming his Territory, Duan Ling Tian also began to form his True Energy Consolidated Territory.

10,000 Swords Territory!

When Lin Dong’s Territory was almost fully formed, a swift and piercing aura surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s body. It seemed as though it would be able to tear the fabric of space.

When the aura swept out, it felt as though there were countless sharp swords pressing against them.

“That’s Master Duan’s Territory!”

“I heard Master Duan’s Territory crushed Lady Feng’s Territory as soon as it was formed… I don’t know if his Territory would be able to suppress Lin Dong’s Territory. If he’s able to do that, he might have a chance of winning.”

“I don’t think so. Besides, even if he could suppress it, it doesn’t mean he’ll be able to defeat Lin Dong. Don’t you forget, Lin Dong is the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking! All of his techniques are powerful, it’s not just limited to his Territory. Even if his Territory is suppressed, he can still use his other techniques to attack Master Duan.”

“I have only heard of Master Duan’s Territory in the past. Today, I finally get to witness it for myself.”

…

Duan Ling Tian’s Territory was famous in Windfall Nation. That was why everyone was so excited when they saw his Territory.

“Eh? So strong?” While Duan Ling Tian was forming his 10,000 Swords Territory, he discovered that Lin Dong’s Territory was different from all the Martial and Dao Cultivators below the Saint Stage. His Territory actually managed to pressure him.

When Duan Ling Tian was forming his 10,000 Swords Territory, he encountered quite a strong resistance. Moreover, it did not seem like it was stopping Lin Dong’s Territory from forming.

Duan Ling Tian would not believe it if he was told Lin Dong’s Territory on its own was as strong as his 10,000 Swords Territory.

At this moment, he thought of every possibility and found one that was the most plausible.

‘This Territory doesn’t seem very strong on its own, but there’s something different about it… This means Lin Dong is very close to entering the Saint Stage. Even his Territory has the aura of a Saint Stage powerhouse!’
