Chapter 1524: He Must Die!
'I'll be able to use the True Energy Consolidated Beast technique since I've broken through to the Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage.' Duan Ling Tian felt emotional again as he thought about this. He wanted to try the True Energy Consolidated Beast technique immediately.
However, nothing happened even after he tried for a long time.
'I almost forgot... Since the True Energy Consolidated Weapon can't work in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, it makes sense that the True Energy Consolidated Beast can't work as well. I'll have to try it outside,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
He left the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and returned to his room as soon as he thought about it. However, he did not stay there and went out instead.
After he left, he arrived at the courtyard and attempted to cast the True Energy Consolidated Beast technique.
A surge of rumbling True Energy rushed out of Duan Ling Tian's body. It shot into the sky quickly, emitting an obvious blood energy and a terrifying aura.
After a while, the extended True Energy transformed into a majestic Divine Dragon that was tens of meters long.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover it had five sharp claws on each of its hands and legs.
It was a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon!
Moreover, the blood energy surrounding the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon's body was so clear because it was not consolidated through imagination. It was a True Energy Consolidated Beast formed using blood essence.
Such a True Energy Consolidated Beast was even more powerful.
To avoid creating massive commotion, Duan Ling Tian subsequently left after consolidating the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon with his True Energy.
"I should go outside and see how powerful it is." Although Duan Ling Tian consolidated a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon with the True Energy Consolidated Beast technique, he had no idea how strong it was.
What he knew was a True Energy Consolidated Beast consolidated from blood essence was more powerful than ordinary True Energy Consolidated Beasts. He had no idea how much more powerful it would be.
When Duan Ling Tian left, he did not notice someone hovering high above the sky. It was obvious the person had seen everything had just transpired. That person saw the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Duan Ling Tian had consolidated with the True Energy Consolidated Beast technique. It was the Divine Dragon Phenomenon.
"Blood Essence Consolidated Beast... And he consolidated a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon! Is he related to the dragon clan? Otherwise, how's it possible that he has the blood essence of a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon." A hint of doubt and shock could be heard in the voice. The voice belonged to a purple bird perched on the shoulder of a black figure.
Blood Essence Consolidated Beast was the formation of a True Energy Consolidated Beast using blood essence as its foundation.
Although the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Duan Ling Tian had consolidated earlier was also a True Energy Consolidated Beast, to be more precise, it was a Blood Essence Consolidated Beast.
"Maybe." The black figure was a woman completely garbed in black. She had a beautiful body that could arouse any man in the world.
The black-clad lady was none other than the assassin from Mountainshade Black Market, Chi Mei.
Apart from herself and the purple bird on her shoulder, the Mountainshade Black Market's branch's leader might be the only one who knew about her identity in the entire Nine Sect Alliance's area.
"Sister, when are we going to leave this place in the middle of nowhere? Apart from the leader of the Mountainshade Black Market's branch who's a little powerful, the others are too weak... The few Saint Stage powerhouses in the Moon Illumination Sect can't even endure three hits from me," the purple bird said, slightly upset.
"We'll definitely leave when we're done with our job," Chi Mei said.
"Let's go! Let's follow him!" Chi Mei said and went after Duan Ling Tian. She completely disregarded the Flight Prohibition Formation that covered the entire Moon Illumination Sect.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian left Bai Li Hong's mansion by foot. He left the inner court and the Moon Illumination Sect's estate.
Although he was alone when he left the Moon Illumination Sect's estate this time, he was not afraid at all.
With his current ability and techniques, he was not afraid even if he was to encounter people at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage.
Naturally, he did not dare to say he could defeat everyone at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage. After all, there were also people at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage who were on the verge of breaking through to the Saint Stage. Those people were at the peak of the Saint Rudiment Stage, and they were considered the best, Saint Stage powerhouses aside.
If they were to use the unpredictable territory, even Duan Ling Tian did not have the confidence to defeat them.
Duan Ling Tian had many things to rely on. He was even confident he can immediately get rid of people at the Imminent Saint Stage with his current ability.
Therefore, he was fearless when he left the Moon Illumination Sect.
Naturally, he was aware he would not know if a Saint Stage powerhouse was following him.
However, if a Saint Stage powerhouse really wanted him dead, there was no need to follow him. That person could just easily kill him in the Moon Illumination Sect.
After leaving the Moon Illumination Sect's estate, Duan Ling Tian went to the place where Bai Li Hong brought him to test the Three Saint Inscriptions. It was a vast mountain range with many powerful wild beasts.
Duan Ling Tian unleashed everything he had in the mountain range.
Instead of saying he unleashed everything he had, it was more accurate to say he fully unleashed the power of the Divine Dragon consolidated by his True Energy.
The Divine Dragon Phenomenon was formed from a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon's blood essence as its foundation. It possessed the dragon force causing fear in the wild beasts that passed by.
It killed every wild beast it encountered.
Duan Ling Tian noticed that even wild beasts at the Mastery Saint Rudiment Stage could not endure the Divine Dragon Phenomenon's attacks.
The Divine Dragon Phenomenon was so powerful that it went beyond his imagination.
"My Five-Clawed Divine Dragon's Divine Dragon Phenomenon is more than a few folds more powerful than ordinary True Energy Consolidated Beasts!" Duan Ling Tian was able to confirm this very quickly.
At this moment, he was imagining how easily his Divine Dragon Phenomenon would defeat the other True Energy Consolidated Beasts.
"So powerful!" The purple bird high in the sky said in shock.
"How could it not be powerful? It's a Divine Dragon that's consolidated with a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon's blood essence as its foundation," Chi Mei replied calmly. She did not seem surprised at all.
"Sister, do we still follow him?" The purple bird asked.
"Hmm." Chi Mei nodded.
"So how much longer do we have to follow him?" The purple bird asked with a forced smile.
"Until we find the person I'm looking for," Chi Mei said bluntly as her eyes flashed.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware he was followed by two people at the Saint Stage. Otherwise, he would not be as excited as he was now.
The saying, 'Boundless is the sea for fish to dive at will, unlimited is the sky for birds to fly at ease' described Duan Ling Tian very well as he entered the mountain range teeming with wild beasts. The Divine Dragon Phenomenon would clear the path. It was invincible!
Naturally, this was because the most powerful beast that he had encountered so far was only at the Mastery Saint Rudiment Stage.
"Why are there no Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage wild beasts?" Duan Ling Tian felt a little bored. He no longer felt it was fun killing Mastery Saint Rudiment Stage wild beasts with the Divine Dragon Phenomenon. He was eager to kill Perfection Saint Rudiment wild beasts with his Divine Dragon Phenomenon even though it was quite impossible.
Even a Divine Dragon Phenomenon that was consolidated with a Five-Clawed Dragon's blood essence as its foundation was a True Energy Consolidated Beast no matter how powerful it was.
There was a significant difference when compared to a real Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage wild beast.
Duan Ling Tian did not encounter any Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage wild beasts even after half a day had passed. He became more and more impatient as time passed.
"Nevermind, I'll have many opportunities in the future... It's time to prepare myself. I'll depart to Half Moon Island after a few days of preparation." Duan Ling Tian felt relieved. He made up his mind to return to Half Moon Island in a few days time.
Duan Ling Tian was eager to go home when he thought about his two fiancees who were pregnant with his children.
In reality, there was nothing much for him to prepare anyway.
What he wanted to do was to inform Bai Li Hong as well as bid farewell to the people he knew. Apart from that, he wanted to spend time cultivating the Colossal Arrow Bell in the Colossal Aerolite Arrow.
As a defensive technique of a Saint Grade Martial Tactic that was on par with an Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic, the Colossal Arrow Bell's power was superior to the defensive techniques of ordinary Saint Grade Martial Tactics.
Although Duan Ling Tian had only cultivated the Colossal Arrow Bell to the second level, the Elementary Stage, its defensive ability had far surpassed the Golden Shirt.
Naturally, there were differences between the Colossal Arrow Bell and the Golden Shirt although there were both defensive techniques.
The crucial part about the Colossal Arrow Bell was its coordination with the Aerolite Shower. The defense formed outside was like an eggshell.
Meanwhile, the Golden Shirt emphasized on one's flesh. Apart from forming a defensive layer over one's body, it also strengthened one's flesh.
Due to the major difference, they did not affect each other and could co-exist.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who was preparing to return to Half Moon Island had no idea that Liu Huan had looked terrible since the day he returned from Han River City until now.
This was because he finally found out the Mountainshade Black Market had called off the mission to kill Duan Ling Tian!
He was furious when he heard about it.
Although Mountainshade Black Market had refunded him his payment ten folds, he was not happy at all. This was because he knew the Mountainshade Black Market would never accept missions to kill Duan Ling Tian from that day onward.
Naturally, Liu Huan had been thinking about why Mountainshade Black Market refused to take on the mission to kill Duan Ling Tian. Was there a secret behind Duan Ling Tian that he was unaware of?
In the end, he came to another conclusion.
Bai Li Hong must have some connections in the Mountainshade Black Market, and he had gotten them to cancel the mission to kill Duan Ling Tian.
"Do I really have to watch that brat grow just like that?" Liu Huan's face was pale. His eyes looked as though they would shoot fire as soon as he thought about Duan Ling Tian. "No! The brat must die... If he doesn't die, I won't even be able to do anything to Fang Hui! He must die! Fang Hui, too, must die!"
Liu Huan seemed to have lost his mind.
However, Liu Huan's eyes lit up when an inner court disciple came with news.
"Duan Ling Tian's leaving the Moon Illumination Sect alone and returning to his hometown? Are you sure this news is true?" Liu Huan looked at the inner court disciple before him solemnly.
