"He lost! Senior Brother Zhang Ji lost?!"
"H-How's this possible?!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the attack that Senior Brother Zhang Ji cast earlier seemed to contain the high-grade fist Divine Ability, the Mountain and River Fist! I can't believe Senior Brother Zhang Ji managed to comprehend it and master it! "
"With Senior Brother Zhang Ji's current strength, the Mountain and River Fist that he cast is not as powerful as an ordinary powerhouse at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage. However, it seems like he didn't manage to injure Senior Brother Duan Lingtian at all!"
"Not only did he not injure Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, but he was even heavily injured and defeated by Duan Lingtian!"
…
The Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples present on the scene gasped before an uproar broke out.
Earlier, when Duan Ling Tian's Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, collided head-on with Zhang Ji's Divine Ability, the Mountain and Rivers Punch, the group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples was shocked.
Prior to this, they did not know both of them had mastered high-grade offensive Divine Abilities.
If they thought Duan Lingtian had a chance of winning when they saw Duan Lingtian had cast his high-grade offensive Divine Ability, none of them thought Duan Lingtian had a chance of winning when Zhang Ji cast his high-grade offensive Divine Ability as well.
This was because Zhang Ji's strength was much stronger than Duan Lingtian.
Coupled with the explosive power of his high-grade offensive Divine Ability, he would definitely be able to defeat Duan Lingtian. Even if Duan Ling Tian had also cast a high-grade offensive Divine Ability, he would still be able to withstand it.
What happened next was just as they had expected.
Zhang Ji's energy easily destroyed Duan Ling Tian's energy before it continued to blast toward Duan Ling Tian without slowing down at all.
Just when they thought Duan Lingtian would be heavily injured and sent flying, they saw a shocking scene.
A scene that made them feel incomparably horrified appeared.
With Duan Lingtian as the center, a terrifying vortex suddenly appeared. It was the support-type divine ability that he had used before.
After the vortex appeared, it actually swallowed up all of Zhang Ji's attacking power!
Following that, Duan Lingtian struck out with his palm. He combined the power that he had swallowed from Zhang Ji with his own power, turning it into a terrifying power that he unleashed at Zhang Ji.
Even though Zhang Ji defended with all his might, he still ended up heavily injured.
Although he wasn't dead or crippled, Zhang Ji wouldn't be able to stand up without half a day of recovery.
"What exactly is that support-type divine ability that Senior Martial Brother Duan Lingtian mastered? Not only can it absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to strengthen itself for a short period of time, it can even absorb the opponent's energy … It's too terrifying! "
"Based on the current situation, even the support-type divine ability from the Azure Dragon Sanctum is far from comparable to the support-type divine ability that Senior Martial Brother Duan Lingtian has mastered!"
"In my opinion, let alone the support-type divine ability from the Azure Dragon Sanctum, even the number one support-type divine ability from Zoroastrianism might not be comparable to the support-type divine ability that Senior Martial Brother Duan Lingtian has mastered!"
…
Soon after, the group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples recalled the crucial moment when Duan Lingtian had turned the tables. It was the support-type divine ability that Duan Lingtian had cast that turned the tables at the last moment!
Otherwise, he would have lost.
The high-grade support-type divine ability, the Devouring Tactic, that Duan Lingtian had mastered instantly became the topic of discussion among the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples.
"I've never heard of Senior Martial Brother Duan Lingtian's support-type divine ability before!"
"Me too! I've never heard of it before!"
"What a terrifying support-type divine ability!"
…
Soon after, the group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples discovered something.
There were so many of them, but none of them had heard of the support-type divine ability that Duan Lingtian had cast before!
Moreover, they did not even know the name of the support-type divine ability!
For a time, Duan Lingtian's support-type divine ability became even more mysterious in their hearts.
"What a terrifying support-type divine ability!"
Even Jiang Chu who had half a foot in the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage was shocked when he regained his senses. He was shocked that Duan Lingtian had managed to turn the tables and defeat Zhang Ji with his support-type divine ability at the last moment!
In fact, when Zhang Ji had cast the high-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Mountain and River Fist, even he did not think Duan Lingtian would be able to defeat him!
At that moment, Zhang Ji's strength was already enough to fight him to a draw!
"I can't believe Zhang Ji has successfully comprehended the high-grade Divine Ability, the Mountain and River Fist, that his master passed down to him. Even if I were to fight him now, I'm not confident I'll be able to defeat him. At most, we'll be evenly matched!"
A hint of dread could be seen in Jiang Chu's eyes as he looked at Zhang Ji who was lying unconscious on the ground.
The strength that Zhang Ji had displayed after he came out of closed-door cultivation made Jiang Chu feel pressured.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Chu glanced at the Secundus house that originally belonged to Zhang Ji and Duan Lingtian before he returned to his Secundus house and entered closed-door cultivation.
'I won't come out of closed-door cultivation until I've broken through to the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage!'
Jiang Chu made up his mind before he entered closed-door cultivation.
At some point, Zhang Ji had regained consciousness again.
However, because his injuries were too severe, it was difficult for him to even move. All the bones and muscles in his body seemed to have solidified.
Although many of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples had left, many of them were still discussing among themselves.
Naturally, they were discussing the battle earlier.
"At the beginning of the battle earlier, I had absolute confidence in Senior Brother Zhang Ji. However, I didn't expect Senior Brother Zhang Ji would be defeated in the end!"
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian's strength is too heaven-defying! The strength that Senior Brother Zhang Ji displayed with his high-grade Divine Ability, the Mountain-River Fist, is definitely one of the top powerhouses at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage. Even then, he still lost to Senior Brother Duan Lingtian! "
"I remember that before the battle began, Senior Brother Zhang Ji seemed to have said that he'd make Senior Brother Duan Lingtian suffer a fate worse than death. He's right! However, the person who would suffer a fate worse than death isn't Senior Brother Duan Lingtian. It's him! "
"Speaking of this, I can't help but say that Senior Brother Duan Lingtian has a good temper. If it were me, I would've mocked him after I defeated Senior Brother Zhang Ji. I would've made him pay for all the humiliation he gave me!"
"That's right. Senior Brother Duan Lingtian has a good temper. He's a great man who doesn't hold grudges against others! "
…
The group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples discussed among themselves. They did not notice that Zhang Ji had already woken up.
Upon hearing their words, Zhang Ji's face flushed red. His eyes widened before he fainted again.
However, these Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples did not know that it was not because Duan Lingtian had a good temper that he did not mock Zhang Ji after he defeated him. It was because he was in a very bad situation at that time. He was already at the end of his tether. He did not have the energy to mock Zhang Ji at all.
Otherwise, with his temper, he would have slapped Zhang Ji's face mercilessly.
Before he exhausted his last bit of energy, he only managed to say one sentence to announce his victory.
"Zhang Ji, from today onward, your Secundus house belongs to me, Duan Lingtian!"
These words proved that he was the final victor of today's battle, Duan Lingtian!
Otherwise, if he had collapsed in public due to exhaustion, this battle would have been considered a draw at most.
A draw was not what Duan Lingtian wanted.
In the Secundus house that originally belonged to Zhang Ji and now belonged to Duan Lingtian. As Duan Lingtian collapsed on the ground, his body was gradually recovering.
Not only did he recover his Sun Saint Energy, but his physical and mental exhaustion was also restored.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian's consciousness that was originally a little blurry gradually became clearer.
"I can't believe that Zhang Ji has a high-grade offensive Divine Ability as his trump card …"
When Duan Lingtian recalled the earlier scene, he could not help but gasp.
Faced with Zhang Ji who had mastered a high-grade Divine Ability, even if he transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, he might not be a match for him.
If this dragged on, he would definitely be the one to lose.
Fortunately, he had instinctively cast the Devouring Tactic at the critical moment. Coupled with his Soul Attack, he managed to defeat Zhang Ji in one fell swoop!
The reason he was able to win this battle was mostly due to luck.
'With the strength Zhang Ji displayed, I'm afraid there aren't many people below the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage who's a match for him. If I want to defeat him easily, I'll have to break through to the Mastery Divine Saint Stage before he breaks through to the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage!'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
'However, with my current green Innate Spiritual Root, coupled with the assistance from the Secundus house and the time flow on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, I'll be able to break through to the Mastery Divine Saint Stage in a month at most!'
When Duan Lingtian thought about his Innate Spiritual Root that had transformed, a confident expression appeared on his face.
Naturally, a month was the time in the outside world.
A month in the outside world was equivalent to ten months in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
'No matter what, I won't use the Devouring Tactic to devour energy that already has an owner unless it's necessary. Moreover, I won't overload the energy in my body. Not only will I feel uncomfortable, but there's also the risk of my body exploding. '
Earlier, if it was not for Duan Ling Tian releasing all of his overloaded energy in time, he would have been blown apart by that energy!
'Zhang Ji is really unlucky. I can't use the energy that I've overloaded. At that time, I only had time to push my palm forward. Zhang Ji happened to be facing me! '
When Duan Lingtian recalled the earlier scene, a gloating expression appeared on his face.
Duan Lingtian was unaware of this.
At this moment, an uninvited guest arrived at the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder.
This uninvited guest was none other than Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, a first-rate force in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!
