Under such circumstances, Lin Dong's breakthrough to the Saint Stage was beyond the expectations of most of the people present on the scene.
The reason it was said to be most of the people and not all of them was because some people did not seem surprised at all.
Moreover, it was not just one person.
Among the people from King Qian's estate, King Qian, who was the leader, and the two old men standing behind him did not seem shocked or surprised when they saw Lin Dong's breakthrough.
Based on their calm expressions, it was obvious they had long known this would happen.
In fact, they had long known this would happen.
Lin Dong could have broken through to the Saint Stage a few months ago. The reason he did not break through was due to his battle with Duan Lingtian today.
If he had broken through to the Saint Stage, put aside whether Duan Lingtian would be willing to fight with him, even if Duan Lingtian was willing and he won, people would say he had an unfair advantage and would look down on him for bullying the weak.
However, breaking through to the Saint Stage in a Death Duel was a completely different concept.
Even if he killed Duan Lingtian at this moment, nobody would say anything.
King Qian and the two old men behind him were not surprised because they had long known about this. However, the others did not know about this. Due to this reason, they were all shocked.
Among them were Situ Ming, Ye Feng, and Ye Mu Bai.
Earlier, when they saw Duan Lingtian's heaven-defying speed, they did not hold any hope that Lin Dong would be able to kill Duan Lingtian. They were in a bad mood.
However, the scene before their eyes turned around and made them feel like they had ascended to heaven from hell.
Lin Dong had broken through to the Saint Stage!
Naturally, they knew what this meant.
"Duan Lingtian, you're dead meat!"
The three of them looked at Duan Lingtian with a hint of viciousness in their eyes.
When the others saw Lin Dong who had broken through to the Saint Stage, they were so shocked that they could not regain their senses for a long time. When they finally regained their senses, all of them had a blank expression on their faces. Some of them could not help but rub their eyes to see if they were seeing things.
However, the shocking scene in front of them seemed to be telling them that their eyes were not playing tricks on them, nor were they seeing things wrongly.
Lin Dong had indeed broken through to the Saint Stage!
It was not rare for one to have a breakthrough during a battle in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
However, breaking through to the Saint Stage during a battle was rare even in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
"Lin Dong … actually broke through?"
"It's funny that I was just teasing him for cramming at the last minute. I didn't expect that he would really break through in such a short time!"
"Duan Lingtian's speed was so fast that I thought he would be invincible and even kill Lin Dong. I didn't expect Lin Dong to break through to the Saint Stage at the most critical moment."
"Although Duan Lingtian's speed is fast, and it can even be said that it's hard to find a match for him below the Saint Stage … However, compared to the speed of a Saint Stage powerhouse, there's still a huge gap."
"Of course! Once a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator breaks through to the Saint Stage, it means that the True Energy in the body will transform into True Origin. True Energy can't be compared to True Energy at all! After the True Energy transforms into True Origin, the True Energy Consolidated Weapon, Consolidated Beast, and Consolidated Territory will transform into the True Energy Consolidated Weapon, Consolidated Beast, and Consolidated Territory. "
"Duan Lingtian is really unlucky!"
"Yes, he's really unlucky. He must have been confident in his speed when he accepted Lin Dong's Death Duel. He must have thought he'd be able to kill Lin Dong. However, I'm afraid he didn't expect Lin Dong would break through to the Saint Stage at the most critical moment! "
…
The group of onlookers' attention was completely focused on Lin Dong as they discussed among themselves.
Based on his words, he was shocked by Lin Dong's breakthrough and felt pity for Duan Ling Tian. He felt Duan Ling Tian who had the upper hand initially would definitely die in Lin Dong's hands after Lin Dong had broken through to the Saint Stage.
"How could this be? How's this possible?! "
Situ Hang's face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Previously, when he saw his savior, Duan Lingtian, had displayed a speed that was much faster than Lin Dong, he thought Duan Lingtian would be able to kill Lin Dong and was overjoyed. However, it did not cross his mind that Lin Dong would break through to the Saint Stage in just a blink of an eye!
This was undoubtedly a disaster for Duan Lingtian!
Situ Hao and Situ Hou were also dumbfounded. They were rendered speechless as they stared blankly at Lin Dong whose aura had changed drastically after he had broken through to the Saint Stage.
"He has broken through to the Saint Stage?"
When Bai Li Hong and the others saw Lin Dong had broken through to the Saint Stage, their expressions turned grave immediately.
When they recalled the sword that Duan Lingtian had used to kill the Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elder, they were not worried about his safety. However, when they thought about how Duan Lingtian would reveal the sword to everyone after he took it out, they could not help but feel worried for Duan Lingtian.
Even the top powerhouses in Windfall Nation would be tempted by that sword.
They believed that once that sword was exposed, Duan Ling Tian's situation would surely not be any better.
Moreover, it might even alert the powerhouses in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion.
"Duan Lingtian, you're really unlucky to have encountered me when I'm breaking through to the Saint Stage. With your speed, if I hadn't broken through to the Saint Stage, I'm most likely not a match for you. However, now that I've broken through to the Saint Stage, you're just an ant in front of me, an ant that I can trample on! "
Lin Dong's aura had changed drastically after he had broken through to the Saint Stage. He looked at Duan Lingtian condescendingly as he said in a cold tone.
"Encountered you when you're breaking through to the Saint Stage?"
Duan Lingtian sneered when he saw Lin Dong looking down at him. "I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. It's premeditated, right?"
Duan Lingtian also noticed that Lin Dong's breakthrough to the Saint Stage had shocked most people, including Situ Ming and Ye Feng. However, King Qian and the two people behind King Qian were the only ones who remained calm as though they knew this would happen.
Due to this reason, he was almost certain Lin Dong could have broken through to the Saint Stage long ago, but he had been suppressing his cultivation base and waiting for this moment to break through.
"It's premeditated?"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Lin Dong was shocked. It was apparent he did not expect Duan Lingtian to be able to notice this. However, naturally, he did not show his shock on his face. He said indifferently, "Say whatever you want. No matter what, you're going to die today!"
The moment his words left his mouth, the whirlpools within a 100-meter radius with Lin Dong in the center spun faster and faster.
Not only that, but the color of the whirlpools had also deepened.
Although the True Origin Consolidated Territory and the True Energy Consolidated Territory worked on the same principle, due to the difference in the nature of the energy, the power of Lin Dong's Territory was far from what his previous Territory could compare to.
At the same time, the True Origin around Lin Dong's body became active as though it was about to burst out at any moment.
"Lin Dong, if I'm not mistaken, King Qian must have promised you something when he invited you here from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion to kill me. He asked you to give him my Spatial Ring after killing me, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked nonchalantly as he looked at Lin Dong.
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, most of the people present on the scene shifted their attention to King Qian in unison.
In fact, before this, most of them thought Lin Dong was the one who took the initiative to challenge Duan Lingtian. They did not know why Lin Dong, the strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking, would do this.
However, now that they heard Duan Lingtian's words, they seemed to have an answer to the question that they could not figure out previously.
Lin Dong was invited by King Qian!
Moreover, he wanted to obtain Duan Lingtian's Spatial Ring.
"King Qian wants Duan Lingtian's Spatial Ring? Don't tell me there's a treasure in Duan Lingtian's Spatial Ring? "
"Isn't it obvious? If it's not for the treasure in Duan Lingtian's Spatial Ring, why would King Qian invite Lin Dong from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion to our Windfall Nation to have a Death Duel with a stranger? "
"He must have paid a hefty price to invite Lin Dong here. The treasure in Duan Lingtian's Spatial Ring must be extraordinary if King Qian is willing to pay such a price. "
"King Qian must have known beforehand that Duan Lingtian has a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic. He wanted to take it for himself, but he couldn't find a chance to do so. Therefore, he could only invite Lin Dong here. After all, Duan Lingtian was the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan previously. To a certain extent, he's also considered as one of King Rong's people. He wouldn't dare to let the powerhouses from King Qian's estate make a move so easily. "
"If that's the case, everything makes sense now. King Qian wants Duan Lingtian's Saint Grade Martial Tactic so he invited Lin Dong here to issue a Death Duel with Duan Lingtian. After killing Duan Lingtian, Lin Dong would hand over Duan Lingtian's Spatial Ring to him."
…
The onlookers discussed among themselves. All of them thought King Qian's target was the Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic in Duan Lingtian's possession.
"Hurmph!"
King Rong's eyes turned cold as he snorted. He thought so as well.
However, when he thought about how Lin Dong had broken through to the Saint Stage, Duan Lingtian would definitely die, he continued to think about how he could make use of Duan Lingtian's death to provoke Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect so that Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, would intervene in this matter.
When the people present on the scene regained their senses, their eyes were filled with pity as they looked at Duan Lingtian.
A man's wealth is his own fault!
This sentence was very appropriate to describe Duan Lingtian at this moment.
A sneer appeared on the corner of King Qian's mouth.
A Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic?
Before today, he did not know Duan Lingtian possessed such a Saint Grade Martial Tactic at all.
What he was after was far more precious than a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
Naturally, among the people in King Qian's estate, apart from King Qian himself and the two old men behind him, only Ye Feng knew about this.
Naturally, among the people present on the scene, there was another person who guessed it. It was Duan Lingtian.
"Hurmph!"
Although Duan Lingtian had guessed correctly, Lin Dong had no intention of replying to him. Instead, he snorted coldly. "Duan Lingtian, do you think it's useful for you to say all this at this moment? No matter how eloquent you are, you won't be able to escape death today! "
"Lin Dong, don't tell me you're the same as them? Do you think King Qian is only after the Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic in my possession?"
