Chapter 1864: The Dragon Clan's Inherited Divine Ability
Upon hearing Di Jue's impatient remark, Duan Ling Tian who easily evaded Di Jue who had transformed into his true form, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, said mockingly, "Is this the extent of your strength?"
Faced with Duan Ling Tian's provocation, Di Jue began to see red. His strength surged as he growled in his deep voice, "Duan Ling Tian, since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!"
At this instant, under the watchful eyes of the others, Di Jue's spiraling body that was several hundreds of meters long began to shine with a bloody light. This bloody light emitted out of Di Jue's body. The moment it appeared, it exuded a terrifying aura that sent chills up people's spines. Moreover, Di Jue's aura had also changed dramatically as he became even more powerful!
Upon seeing this, a high-ranking official from a quasi third-rate force muttered in confusion, "This is the dragon clan's inherited Divine Ability? The True Form Beserkification?"
Although his voice was not loud, many people heard his words. Soon after, apart from the members of the dragon clan, almost everyone learned about the technique Di Jue had cast. It was the dragon clan's inherited Divine Ability, the True Form Beserkification!
"Tian'er, Di Jue has finally cast the True Form Beserkification, the dragon clan's inherited Divine Ability. According to my Divine Consciousness, after his true form underwent the Beserkfication, his strength is comparable to an ordinary Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse! You must be careful!" Duan Ru Feng's Voice Transmission rang in Duan Ling Tian's ears to warn him.
As soon as Duan Ru Feng finished speaking, Di Jue roared. "Duan Ling Tian, today's date will be your death anniversary next year!" His gigantic True Form moved swiftly toward Duan Ling Tian at a much faster speed than before. At this moment, his speed was no longer inferior to Duan Ling Tian's fastest speed!
"True Form Beserkification? Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage?" Faced with Di Jue's True Form that was shining with a bloody light, Duan Ling Tian's expression contained a hint of dread. He retreated to the distance with much difficulties, gradually putting more distance between him and Di Jue who was charging at him menacingly.
Even then, the wind caused by the movements of Di Jue's True Form smacked against his face, causing him pain.
'I can only raise my speed to the level that's equivalent to an ordinary Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator by relying on the two Divine Abilities, the Elementary Devouring Tactic and the Golden Crow's Wings, for a short while. Initially, I thought I'll gain the upper hand first with this speed, but it didn't cross my mind that Di Jue would cast the True Form Beserkification, the dragon clan's inherited Divine Ability. Not only is his speed on par with him, but his strength has also risen to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage!'
Although Duan Ling Tian successfully evaded the first attack by Di Jue after he had cast the True Form Beserkfication, there were no signs of joy on his face at all.
Currently, Di Jue's speed was on par with his speed. This meant he no longer held the upper hand in regards to speed. Put aside his speed and only consider their strength, he was far inferior compared to Di Jue!
Duan Ling Tian instantly fell into a disadvantageous position!
"Tian'er, the dragon clan's inherited Divine Ability, the True Form Beserkification, has a time limit. Once the time's up, the effect will disappear. Moreover, the dragon that cast the Divine Ability, the True Form Beserkification, will be weakened to a certain level." Meanwhile, Duan Ru Feng continued to transmit his voice to Duan Ling Tian. "Your speed's on par with his speed. If it's possible, put some more distance between both of you and stall for time. When the effect of his Beserkfication is gone, you'll be invincible with your speed, and you can kill him!"
Upon hearing Duan Ru Feng's words, Duan Ling Tian's eyes lit up momentarily before it dimmed again, and he smiled wryly.
Di Jue's Berserkification's effect could only last for a short time. However, was it not similar to his Sun True Origin that had risen in strength through the Elementary Devouring Tactic? Moreover, he had depleted 80% to 90% of his Spiritual Energy. It was impossible for him to cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic again.
"Duan Ling Tian, if you're a man, fight directly with me with honor. It just shows that you're a coward if you keep evading my attacks!" Di Jue began to feel impatient when his attacks failed to land on Duan Ling Tian.
Di Jue had only 15 more minutes at most with the dragon clan's inherited Divine Ability, the True Form Beserkification, that he had comprehended. After that, not only would he revert to his original state, but he would be weakened as well. At that time, he would no longer be a match for Duan Ling Tian!
For this reason, he could only goad Duan Ling Tian into action by mocking him. If Duan Ling Tian could not endure his goading, he would definitely fight him directly! If that happened, he would be able to kill him in just one blow!
Di Jue could also see that Duan Ling Tian's current speed was only on par with his speed, and his attack was completely inferior to his!
'What Divine Ability did Duan Ling Tian cast previously? To think he's able to devour the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy so quickly to raise his energy to a level that's close to the Early Divine Saint Stage. If Di Jue's Beserkification's effect is gone, he won't be a match for Duan Ling Tian at all!' The expression of Clan Leader Di Shan of the dragon clan was extremely grim.
If he could reverse time, he would not have allowed Di Jue to accept Duan Ling Tian's Death Duel Invitation.
Whether it's Duan Ling Tian's strength or the Divine Abilities he had successively cast, it made him realize Duan Ling Tian was almost invincible even among Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivators!
What a joke!
He could even force Di Jue who had broken through to the Exemplary Saint Stage to such a state, who else below the Exemplary Saint Stage could be his match?
At the very least, Di Shan felt that nobody below the Exemplary Saint Stage in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land was a match for Duan Ling Tian.
Even the person widely acknowledged as the most powerful Divine Saint Stage powerhouse in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, Centurion Tong Zhong from the Azure Cloud Mansion's Black Armored Army, was not a match for Duan Ling Tian.
Although Tong Zhong was widely acknowledged as invincible among those below the Exemplary Saint Stage in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, that was before Duan Ling Tian had shown up. Moreover, if he was to battle Di Jue who had broken through to the Early Exemplary Saint Stage, it would be absolutely impossible for him to survive ten moves from Di Jue, let alone defeating him!
"Coward?" Duan Ling Tian chuckled. "Di Jue, I've already gotten bored of you trying to goad me. Do you think I'll fall for it? Do you think I'm an idiot or are you an idiot?" Duan Ling Tian's words that hit the mark angered Di Jue so much he almost threw up blood!
He knew it was impossible to goad Duan Ling Tian into action now.
Just like this, under the watchful gaze of the others, Duan Ling Tian and Di Jue began their chasing game. One was in the lead while the other was behind. It appeared very leisurely.
A Five-clawed Golden Dragon that was several hundreds of meters long, body gleaming with a bloody light, was chasing a human that was ant-like in size comparatively. Not only was it visually impactful, but it looked comical as well.
"Coward!"
"Duan Ling Tian, you coward!"
"Fight honorably with Big Brother Di Jue if you dare. How long do you plan to evade his attacks?"
"Exactly! You might be able to evade for now, but do you think you can do it forever?"
The members of the dragon clan present on the scene were scolding Duan Ling Tian. As members of the dragon clan, they were, naturally, aware of the limitations of the inherited Divine Ability, the True Form Beserkification. Due to this reason, they felt anxious on behalf of Di Jue.
If the Beserkification's effect disappeared, Di Jue would be like meat on a chopping board. Duan Ling Tian would be able to kill him as he pleased.
Naturally, this was not something they were willing to see. All of them wished for Di Jue to kill Duan Ling Tian and obtain the chance to enter the dragon clan's Saint Land, the Dragon Cleansing Pool. They knew Di Jue would be able to rise to the sky once he came out of the Dragon Cleansing Pool.
With that, under Di Jue's lead, the dragon clan would definitely be able to become the most elite force in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. They would not have to fear the Mountainshade Black Market or the Azure Cloud Mansion!
At that time, they would be able to lift their prideful heads again, unlike how they currently had to lower their heads when they encounter people from the Mountainshade Black Market and the Azure Cloud Mansion.
"Huh? The bloody light on Di Jue's body seems to be getting dimmer."
"It's not just the bloody light that's dimming. Even the aura on his body seems to be getting weaker as well. Although the changes are minuscule, you'll be able to see it if you pay close attention."
"You're right! It looks like there are limitations to the Divine Ability that Di Jue had cast."
"It's the dragon clan's inherited Divine Ability, the True Form Beserkification, that Di Jue cast. The duration of the Beserkfication depends on his comprehension of that Divine Ability. Based on the situation so far, Di Jue's Beserkfication will probably last for only another 15 minutes at most!"
The people from the various quasi third-rate forces began to whisper among themselves. Those who did not have any expectations for Duan Ling Tian gradually began to see hope of Duan Ling Tian's victory.
"Di Jue's speed is slowing down!"
"Wait a minute! It's not only Di Jue's speed, but even Duan Ling Tian's speed is slowing down!"
"What's going on?"
"Isn't it obvious? The True Form Beserkification, the Divine Ability Di Jue had cast has its limitations and so does the Divine Ability that could quickly devour the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy that was cast by Duan Ling Tian. Judging by the current situation, Duan Ling Tian might not be able to win after all!"
"The situation really changes from minute to minute. We really have no idea who the winner will be until the very last moment! Wait a minute! I should say it's hard to guess who will live and who will die!"
As time went by, the people who had gradually become confident of Duan Ling Tian's victory began to lose their confidence in him when they discovered he seemed to be losing strength.
'Junior Brother Ling Tian...' Gu Li's expression was glum as he thought to himself, 'You can do it, you can do it! You can definitely do it!'
"Tian'er." Duan Ru Feng's expression began to turn grave as well.
Ku Mi, as usual, had a long face. One was unable to tell what his thoughts were.
"Leader Dugu, between both of them, who do you think will die in the end?" Feng Bu Yi asked as he looked at Dugu.
"I have confidence in Duan Ling Tian," Dugu answered nonchalantly.
Zhong Qi Shan who was standing at the side asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Because he's more pleasing to the eyes." Dugu's answer rendered Feng Bu Yi and Zhong Qi Shan speechless. Was this even a valid reason?
"Duan Ling Tian, I thought you're very powerful, but as it turns out, your Divine Abilities have limitations as well!" Di Jue also discovered the decrease in Duan Ling Tian's strength.
In his opinion, the Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian had cast earlier must be a Divine Ability that was similar to the True Form Beserkification that he had cast.
