Chapter 1977: Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The saber web moved toward Duan Ling Tian thunderously. One could imagine if Duan Ling Tian was shrouded by the saber web, he would definitely die!

“It’s impossible for me to block Hong Xu’s strike with my current strength… It seems that I have no choice but to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!”

Faced with the immensely powerful saber web, Duan Ling Tian mobilized the Sun Saint Energy in his body and activated the Dragon Energy hidden in his body. As the Dragon Energy passed Duan Ling Tian’s body, there would be an earth-shattering change to his appearance. Both his hands and legs had transformed into that of a dragon’s claws. Glistening scales also appeared all over his body.

Duan Ling Tian’s gaze turned colder as he held on to the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword after he stretched his dragon’s claws and felt the explosive power in his body. He turned to face the saber web that was charging toward him at an incredibly fast speed. This was the only thing he could do at this moment.

After transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, his speed did not increase significantly. Most of the improvements were on his defense and physical strength. His physical strength worked well with his Sun Saint Energy, enabling him to cast more powerful attacks.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian no longer bothered to hide that he could transform into Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior since there was no way for him to hide it anymore.

Faced with Hong Xu whose strength had improved greatly due to the forbidden pill, he only had two options left. He could either transform into Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior or he could use the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword! He had to make a choice quickly. Otherwise, he would die.

With his current Sun Saint Energy, he was confident he could kill a powerhouse at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage if he used the Jasper Celestial Sword, let alone Hong Xu whose strength was merely close to the Saint Celestial Stage! However, in his opinion, exposing the Jasper Celestial Sword would lead to more trouble. It was better for him to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. If he took the Jasper Celestial Sword out, even the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect would covet it. That was why he decided to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.

After transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, Duan Ling Tian’s defense and brute strength had improved a level!

‘If Hong Xu had come seven or eight days later, I wouldn’t even have to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior to defeat him!’ Duan Ling Tian thought as he transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.

This was because at that time he would be able to master the Black Turtle’s Barrier since seven or eight days outside were equivalent to 80 or 90 days in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He was confident he would be able to master the Black Turtle’s Barrier in that amount of time!

It was unfortunate that Hong Xu came so quickly to the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctums’ First Mine.

“That’s…”

After Duan Ling Tian transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, he took his sword and slashed at Hong Xu’s saber web.

The Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples present widened their eyes in horror as they stared at Duan Ling Tian. At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was a completely different man in their eyes! He had transformed from a human to a humanoid dragon!

“He has transformed into a Dragon Warrior!”

Among the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples present, there were some who had seen and experienced enough to know what happened to Duan Ling Tian.

“Dragon Warrior?”

“According to the rumors, Dragon Warriors are humans who are gifted the gift of Dragonization by a Divine Dragon with more than seven claws. These Divine Dragons can only bestow Dragonization once in their lives!”

“It didn’t even cross my mind that Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian is a Dragon Warrior. I wonder which Seven-clawed Divine Dragon from the dragon clan gave him the gift of Dragonization?”

The Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples continued to discuss among themselves in shock.

All of their attention was focused on Duan Ling Tian’s body that they neglected to notice the nine claws that he possessed. They would have been even more shocked if they had noticed this since a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was like a mythical creature to them.

“Otherworldly Celestial!” After Duan Ling Tian transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, he split himself into five as he advanced toward the saber web.

All four of his clones were so alike. Even the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Swords in their hands were identical.

The Otherworldly Celestial was a sword type high-grade offensive Divine Ability. It did not require much to cast it.

With the Golden Crow’s Wings, Duan Ling Tian who had split into five collided with the saber web at an extremely fast speed.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian seemed like five celestials when he cast the Otherworldly Celestial. However, after transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, he looked like five devils from hell with his humanoid dragon appearance.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

The sound of swords whistled in the air as all five Hundred Inscriptions Saint Swords collided with the saber web.

At this moment, not only did Duan Ling Tian used the Sun Saint Energy unreservedly to cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic, but he even used all the brute force that a Nine-clawed Dragon’s body granted him.

The saber webs formed from hundreds and thousands of saber rays were being destroyed in the wake of the five solidified sword rays.

Duan Ling Tian’s strength after transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was also very close to the Saint Celestial Stage. He was certainly not afraid when faced with the hundreds and thousands of saber rays from Hong Xu’s Saber King Ingress.

Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng!

However, there were too many saber rays that formed the saber web. Although Duan Ling Tian managed to destroy some of it, they still landed on Duan Ling Tian.

After a few moments, all four of Duan Ling Tian’s clones could no longer endure the damage and disappeared.

Roar!

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian let out an animalistic roar.

Sou!

A sharp and strong dragon tail appeared behind him on his back. He whipped it around, effectively destroying some of the saber rays. Even then, there was still quite a number of saber rays that landed on Duan Ling Tian.

Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!

The sound of metal colliding reverberated in the air as saber rays landed on Duan Ling Tian. His scales helped him to deflect the saber rays. However, it still left marks on his dragon scales. If it was any deeper, it would have sliced through his dragon scales.

“Hong Xu!” Duan Ling Tian cried out after he cleared his throat. He managed to destroy Hong Xu’s saber web after all.

At the same time, the Golden Crow’s Wings began to flap rapidly.

In the next moment…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of explosions rang in the air. Duan Ling Tian in his dragon humanoid form, coupled with his Golden Crow’s Wings, charged at Hong Xu at lightning speed.

Hong Xu’s face turned pale immediately. This was because he had exerted all his strength in the earlier attack after he consumed the Kismet Rejoining Pill!

Initially, Hong Xu thought Duan Ling Tian would definitely die under the onslaught of such a powerful attack. Although Duan Ling Tian had surprised him by transforming into a Dragon Warrior, he did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to resist the attack from his Divine Ability, the Saber King Ingress, and the Ghastly Shadow Thousand Strike Saber Technique.

Naturally, he only had these thoughts, similar to the other Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples, because he thought Duan Ling Tian was merely a Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior!

If Duan Ling Tian was merely a Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior, then naturally, it was impossible for him to fight Hong Xu directly, let alone destroying his attack.

‘How could a Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior be so strong?!’ Hong Xu thought to himself as he instinctively looked at Duan Ling Tian’s dragon claws.

The sight of his dragon claws nearly scared him to death!

“Nine… Nine-claws?!”

He could clearly see nine sharp claws on each of what used to be Duan Ling Tian’s hands and legs.

A Nine-clawed Divine Dragon was a legendary existence even in the dragon clan. They were known as Nine-clawed Ancestral Dragons or Nine-clawed Winged Dragons!

‘This Duan Ling Tian… He’s actually a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior?!’

Hong Xiu’s face was deathly pale. He no longer moved when faced with Duan Ling Tian who was charging at him at an extremely fast speed. This was due to the aftereffects of the forbidden pill he had consumed. The effects of the Kismet Rejoining Pill had disappeared. Currently, it was impossible for him to make an attack like he did earlier! Due to this reason, he had lost all motivation to fight Duan Ling Tian.

“That… Nine claws?!”

At the same time, after seeing Duan Ling Tian destroying Hong Xu’s saber web that consisted of hundreds and thousands of saber rays before charging toward Hong Xu at an extremely fast speed, a number of Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples finally noticed the number of claws Duan Ling Tian possessed.

“That’s… He’s a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon’s claws?”

“A Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior?! Goodness! Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian, he’s… He’s actually a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!!”

“Incredible! Incredible!”

The Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples gradually regained their senses before they were shocked again. However, their eyes never left Duan Ling Tian.

“How’s that possible?!” The expression of the person sent by Black Turtle Sanctum’s Great Silver Flame Elder Li An to monitor Hong Xu had changed drastically as his eyes widened in disbelief.
