Chapter 1860: The Ten Inscriptions Saint Weapon

When Di Shan saw the changes of expressions on Duan Ru Feng, Gu Li, and Ku Mi's faces, he began to feel at ease.

"I really wonder where did the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion get his courage from? Things have already escalated to this stage, and yet, he still looks unfazed!" Di Shan looked at Duan Ling Tian, baffled.

"Huh?" Di Shan stared intently at Duan Ling Tian's eyes. Suddenly, at this moment, he managed to glimpse a hint of dread flashing through Duan Ling Tian's eyes. Although it was just a moment, it was still seen by him.

'It seems like the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is not as calm as he looks. However, if he dares to swear on the lightning penalty oath as suggested by Di Jue, he'll definitely die today!' Di Shan thought to himself.

Earlier, he was the one who had transmitted his voice to Di Jue and suggested they swear on the lightning penalty oath. He was worried Duan Ru Feng would intervene during the critical moment. He knew if Duan Ru Feng chose to intervene in the matter, he would not be able to stop him from saving Duan Ling. That was why he thought this would be a good idea to nip this possibility in the bud.

If Duan Ling Tian swore on the lightning penalty oath as suggested by Di Jue, he would still die even if Duan Ru Feng rescued him. The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation would definitely kill him.

Di Shan was obviously not a simple person since he was the Clan Leader of the dragon clan. He was even able to slightly change the expression on Duan Ru Feng's face by suggesting this.

"Tian'er, if you're not confident, you can just admit defeat for this five-year pact!" Duan Ru Feng immediately told Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission.

In his heart, his son's safety was the most important.

Meanwhile, Di Jue had already sworn on the lightning penalty oath and the Tribulation Oath had also resonated accordingly as nine claps of thunder sounded.

"Duan Ling Tian, it's your turn!" After Di Jue swore on the lightning penalty oath, he looked at Duan Ling Tian. "You won't change your mind at this moment, right?" When he spoke, he looked at Duan Ling Tian mockingly.

Faced with Di Jue's provocation, Duan Ling Tian's eyes flashed fiercely. In the end, he also swore on the lightning penalty oath.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nine claps of thunder sounded again after Duan Ling Tian swore on the lightning penalty oath.

At this moment, whether it was Di Jue or Duan Ling Tian, none of them could go back on their words. Otherwise, even if they did not kill themselves if someone rescued them, the lightning penalty oath would kill them!

Swearing on the lightning penalty oath was also Duan Ling Tian's way of responding to Duan Ru Feng.

"Tian'er, be careful!" At this moment, Duan Ru Feng knew it was useless to say any more words. Since his son had already agreed to Di Jue's suggestion and swore on the lightning penalty oath, it was apparent he was quite confident. For this reason, he continued to choose to believe in his son.

"Junior Brother Ling Tian, all the best! Kill Di Jue!" Although Gu Li did not think Duan Ling Tian's chance of winning was very high, he could only hope for the best and cheer for Duan Ling Tian.

Ku Mi remained silent. However, his gaze was enough to show the concern he had for his Young Mansion Master.

"Good, good... Very good! Duan Ling Tian, you didn't let me down." Di Jue's heart was at ease when he saw Duan Ling Tian had sworn on the lightning penalty oath. He chuckled before smiling brilliantly.

"You fooled me that time, and you're going to pay for it with your death today!" Di Jue looked at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent shining in his eyes.

At that time, for the sake of his dead son, Di Yong, he had gone to Half Moon Island to investigate, but he was deceived by Duan Ling Tian. Until now, when he recalled that incident, he still felt greatly humiliated!

Currently, it did not seem important for him to avenge Di Yong anymore. He only wanted to kill Duan Ling Tian and wash away the humiliation. Not only that, but he also wanted to snatch the Devilseal Tablet and hand it over to the Upper Province's dragon clan to perform a meritorious deed.

In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was as good as dead.

"You have to possess that capability if you want to kill me!" Duan Ling Tian sneered when he heard Di Jue's words as his expression turned solemn immediately. Hints of killing intent shone in his eyes as well.

"What? Do you doubt my ability?" Di Jue laughed out loud as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

After a long while, his laughter finally died down. "I truly wonder where you get your courage from. You're merely at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage, but you actually dare to issue a Death Duel Invitation to me, an Early Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse! Soon you'll see that killing you is akin to stepping on an ant for me!"

The moment Di Jue's words left his mouth, the entire place was in an uproar.

"Duan Ling Tian is at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage? He's joking, right?!"

"Impossible!"

Everybody shook their heads when they heard Di Jue's words. Not many people believed him.

Naturally, there was a small number of people who was daring enough to probe Duan Ling Tian using their Divine Consciousness.

"He's really at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage!"

"My goodness! The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion's cultivation base is really at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage. What's going through his mind?"

"Crazy! He must be crazy!"

When almost everyone probed Duan Ling Tian's true cultivation base, the entire scene burst into another commotion because they discovered Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base was truly at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage!

"Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage?" Leader Dugu of Mountainshade Black Market was curious and could not help but extend his Divine Consciousness toward Duan Ling Tian as well. Soon after, he also discovered Duan Ling Tian's true cultivation base.

"He's really at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage!" Dugu who was experienced and intelligent was also shocked after discovering Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base.

At the same time, the two Deputy Leaders of Mountainshade Black Market standing behind him, Feng Bu Yi and Zhong Qi Shan, had also probed Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base and were dumbfounded as well.

"How's this possible?! If this Duan Ling Tian is Ling Tian from Mystical Sky Mansion, he should possess strength that's not inferior to a powerhouse at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage and that was a year ago!"

With Mountainshade Black Market's network, they knew very well how Duan Ling Tian had killed the group of Mastery Eminent Saint Stage powerhouses. He even killed a powerhouse at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage from the Zhao Clan in Mystical Sky Mansion!

Due to this reason, they found it hard to believe that Duan Ling Tian was just an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator!

"Don't tell me Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base can decline?" Zhong Qi Shan was astounded.

"It's indeed very peculiar." Feng Bu Yi also nodded his head. He had a baffled expression on his face.

"There are many outstanding powerhouses in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land who possess strength that's far stronger than their cultivation base. Such a situation is only rare in the Lower Province," Dugu who regained his senses said nonchalantly, "Just wait and see. Duan Ling Tian's strength must not be any weaker than Di Jue!"

Based on his words, it was apparent he had confidence in Duan Ling Tian.

His strength must not be any weaker than Di Jue? Just with his cultivation base at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage alone?

Whether it was Zhong Qi Shan or Feng Bu Yi, both of them did not believe Dugu's words even though they did not dare to voice it out. If they had done that, it would be equal to contradicting their Leader. They did not have the courage to do that.

"He's just a mere Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, but he actually dares to issue a Death Duel Invitation to our dragon clan's future Clan Leader? What a fool!"

"That's right! The future Clan Leader of our dragon clan is a powerhouse at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage. Just like he said, it would be as easy as killing an ant for him to kill an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator!"

"He's destined to die for provoking and humiliating a member of our dragon clan!"

Most of the members from the dragon clan present on the scene were extremely excited as they looked at Di Jue and Duan Ling Tian stand opposite each other.

"Kill!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

Many dragon clan's members who were more hot-tempered chanted loudly for Di Jue to kill Duan Ling Tian.

"No different from killing an ant?" Duan Ling Tian's gaze turned colder, and he smirked when he heard Di Jue's remark that was filled with ridicule and disdain. "I'd like to see how you, the future Clan Leader of the dragon clan, are going to kill me like how one would kill an ant!"

"Your wish is my command!" Di Jue smirked coldly before he began to make his move under the watchful eyes of the others.

Swoosh!

Di Jue's figure moved as it seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning that soared in the sky as he made his way to Duan Ling Tian. He did not use his full strength, his speed now was on par with a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage.

In his opinion, there was no way Duan Ling Tian would be able to match this speed!

Duan Ling Tian only chuckled when he saw Di Jue charging at him.

Did he really look down on him so much?

At lightning speed, the 99 Saint Veins inside Duan Ling Tian's body began to churn in a frenzy as he muttered to himself, "Since you've presented me with this chance, I'd let you down if I don't cherish this chance." Meanwhile, his Sun True Origin surged out as well.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In just an instant, a pair of huge golden wings appeared on his back! It was the Golden Crow's Wings! At the same time, an all black three-foot long-spear appeared in his hand as well.

Despite its ordinary appearance, if one paid closer attention, one would be able to see ten obvious signs of Saint Inscriptions.

It was a Ten Inscription Saint Weapon!

In the Dao Martial Saint Land, other than the Super Saint Weapon, the Heaven Rank Prominent Saint Weapon was the highest grade of a Saint Weapon.

If one wanted to further enhance this Saint Weapon that had reached its limit, there was only one method and that was to inscribe Saint Inscriptions.

The force of a single Saint Inscription was greatly helpful to those below the Divine Saint Stage, but it could only be used against a powerhouse below the Divine Saint Stage.

To those at the Divine Saint Stage and above, no matter how high the grade of the Saint Inscription was, it would only be a Saint Inscription that boosted the Saint Weapon.

Naturally, the higher the grade of the Saint Inscription, the greater the boost would be!

The Ten Inscription Saint Weapon was a Heaven Rank Prominent Saint Weapon that was inscribed with ten Saint Inscriptions. Usually, such a weapon would only be able to be inscribed by a Seven Star Saint Inscription Master or above!

In the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Ten Inscription Saint Weapon could be considered as a rare Saint Weapon. There were not many of them even in quasi third-rate forces.

This Ten Inscription Saint Weapon in Duan Ling Tian's hand was given to him by his father when they left the Azure Cloud Mansion during their journey to the dragon clan's lair.

Swoosh!

At the instant when the golden wings appeared behind Duan Ling Tian's back, golden flames appeared and surged up from the Ten Inscription Saint Weapon as well. It emitted a terrifying aura like the sun.
