Chapter 2335 The Ruined Inter-province Transportation Formation

Duan Ling Tian did not go to the clans in the Devil Clans to kill as many powerhouses as he could because he was… afraid of the forefather of the Human-Devil clan.

After the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan managed to escape using the Fiery Blood Evasion Talisman, Duan Ling Tian managed to bring almost the entire Human-Devil clan under his control. Naturally, this did not include Yang Zhen Xing and the other Bodiless Celestials in the Human-Devil clan!

Since Yang Zhen Xing had escaped, there was no doubt he would go looking for the forefather of the Human-Devil clan whom Duan Ling Tian suspected to be a Seventh Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Duan Ling Tian was afraid the forefather of the Human-Devil clan would be able to find him if he stayed in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land even if he did not stay in the Human-Devil clan’s territory. For this reason, he decided to leave as soon as possible.

“I can further increase my strength by improving the Sovereign Heart Sword from the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method even if I don’t improve my cultivation base, martial tactics, and Divine Abilities!” Duan Ling Tian was very clear about his current condition. Since he had become an Eminent Celestial, he could be considered as being at the peak of power in the mundane realm. Naturally, this did not include Bodiless Celestials who had strength comparable to those who lived in the Devata Realm.

One would become a Bodiless Celestial if one failed and survived the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. After that, a new and extreme cultivation path would be open to Bodiless Celestials.

The strength of a Two Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was comparable to the strength of Eminent Celestials.

A Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was one time stronger than Eminent Celestials.

Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and above were much stronger than anyone in the mundane realm.

Duan Ling Tian who was an Eminent Celestial possessed strength comparable to a Five or Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial after he cast his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, and Body Fusion from the fourth stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method’s Sovereign Heart Sword! Since his cultivation base had reached its limit in the mundane realm, there was nothing he could do about it. He could only wait for the arrival of the celestial ascension force so he could ascend to the Devata Realm.

Therefore, Duan Ling Tian could only raise his strength by improving the Sovereign Heart Sword of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method. After all, he had not mastered the fifth stage, also the last stage, of the Sovereign Heart Sword that was known as Heart-Sword Amalgamation! Once he gained an understanding and broke through to the fifth and last stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, his strength would increase by another level. As for Divine Abilities, he could only improve them slightly since most of them, apart from his assist-type Divine Ability, would not be able to raise his strength by much.

‘Even if I gain insight into the Heart-Sword Amalgamation, the fifth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, and comprehend my Divine Abilities to the highest level, I’m afraid my strength would only be comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at most. It seems like this is the limit of my strength in the mundane realm. After all, I’m cultivating using the orthodox path, unlike Bodiless Celestials!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a bitter smile on his face, ‘This means I’ll never be as strong as Eight or Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in the mundane realm!’

Naturally, the cultivation path of Bodiless Celestials was not easy. In fact, most Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials did not survive their tenth Tribulation. Although there were downsides to taking the cultivation path of a Bodiless Celestial, being so strong in the mundane realm was definitely one of the plusses.

‘Regardless, I think it won’t be long before I have to leave the mundane realm. I didn’t feel it as much when I just became an Eminent Celestial, but after casting the Elementary Devouring Tactic and devouring the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Human-Devil Saint City and the Saint Stone reserve to raise my strength, I can vaguely feel the pull of a mysterious force. This is probably the celestial ascension force that will help me ascend to the Devata Realm,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Since he knew he had not much time left in the mundane realm, he knew he had to cherish the time he had here. Once the celestial ascension force came, there was no stopping his ascension to the Devata Realm regardless of how strong he was.

‘I wonder when I’ll be able to return once I ascend to the Devata Realm? Before I ascend, I must do something for my family and friends in the mundane realm. After my ascension, I won’t be able to help them if they get into trouble…’ This was Duan Ling Tian’s biggest concern when he thought about ascending to the Devata Realm. ‘I have to make sure my parents, Ke’er, Little Fei’er, Nian Tian, and Si Ling would be absolutely safe even after I ascend to the Devata Realm!’ Although it sounded like a tall order, he was determined to try his best. He would do everything in his power to ensure his family’s safety after he ascended to the Devata Realm.

…

At some point, Duan Ling Tian arrived at the Inter-province Transportation Formation in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land with the three ladies in tow. He discovered the Devil Clans were setting up a new Inter-province Transportation Formation to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. He quickly extended his Divine Consciousness. As a Saint Inscription Master, it did not take long for him to discover the Inter-province Transportation Formation was almost complete…

Duan Ling Tian scoffed as his gaze turned cold. His Celestial Origin Energy that was mixed with Saint Origin began to surge out of his body, turning into millions of dazzling sword rays. The sword rays hovered around him when they appeared.

‘Sword Wielding Art!’ Millions of sword rays that were hovering near Duan Ling Tian shot out immediately as soon as this thought appeared in his mind.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Some of the sword rays were targeted at the almost complete Inter-province Transportation Formation while some were targeted at the Devil Clans’ Formation Masters who were setting up the Inter-province Transportation Formation. The remaining sword rays targeted the devils in the surroundings.

After a while…

“Ahh!”

“Nooo…”

Screams reverberated in the air as the devils were killed. Even those at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage were not spared. Apart from that, the Inter-province Transportation Formation was destroyed by the sword rays as well.

What a joke!

Duan Ling Tian’s current strength was similar to when he had just left the Wandering Saint Palace in the Human-Devil clan’s territory after all. When he left the Wandering Saint Palace and the territory of the Human-Devil clan, he realized the effect of the Elementary Devouring Tactic had weakened slightly. Whenever he felt it weaken, he would cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic again and devour the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy to raise his strength. Since he was still in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, he did not dare to act recklessly and was very guarded. Although he felt exhausted from casting the assist-type Divine Ability so many times, he felt it was worthwhile.

In other words, when Duan Ling Tian cast the third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Sword Wielding Art, his strength was comparable to Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. How could the devils put up a fight when the strongest among them was only at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?

“Devour!” After Duan Ling Tian killed the devils, he did not hesitate as he cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic to devour the devils’ Innate Spiritual Roots so he could improve Ke’er’s Innate Spiritual Root.

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, very careful when he was improving Ke’er’s Innate Spiritual Root. After all, he could not recklessly improve her Innate Spiritual Root to a black one. Otherwise, she would have to face a Heavenly Tribulation.

“Y-you destroyed the Inter-province Transportation Formation?” It took a while for Gan Ru Yan to notice this.

“Hmm.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. When he saw she was about to speak again, he quickly cut her off. “Whatever it is you want to say… Let’s talk about it after we return to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.”

In just a flash, Duan Ling Tian brought the three ladies to the site of the ruined Inter-province Transportation Formation.

‘I think it’s here,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he lifted his hand to shoot out a white sword ray from his palm. When the sword ray shot out of his palm, it formed a sword in his hand. ‘This sword that’s formed from my inner energy is much stronger than the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword… This must be due to the Celestial Origin Energy since it’s a type of energy from the Devata Realm. The Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword, on the other hand, is merely a weapon forged in the mundane realm. Therefore, it’s useless to someone who has gained Celestial Origin Energy.’
