At this moment, Yuwen Haochen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, and Shi Nanfeng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, were unaware of this.
The reason the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan had arrived so quickly was because he had been here all along.
He had been here for a long time.
Unlike Yuwen Haochen and the others who were below the Tribulation Clouds, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was hidden above the Tribulation Clouds.
"Lord Patriarch!"
Upon hearing Yuwen Haochen and Shi Nanfeng's greetings, apart from Duan Lingtian, Kerr, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan, everyone present, including Peng Lai, bowed respectfully at the green-clad middle-aged man.
In fact, apart from Yuwen Haochen and Shi Nanfeng, not many people present had seen the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan before.
If it were not for Yuwen Haochen and Shi Nanfeng, they would not have recognized the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan even if he was standing right in front of them.
"Lord Patriarch is so fast! He arrived so quickly! "
"Isn't his speed a little too fast? The Violet Light Pearl only appeared for a moment, and Lord Patriarch arrived so quickly? "
"Why do I feel like it's unreal? There should be some time between the appearance of the Violet Light Pearl and the arrival of the Patriarch, right? However, it seems like there's no time at all. As soon as the Violet Light Pearl appeared, Lord Patriarch appeared. "
…
The group of people present were shocked and in disbelief at the mysterious appearance of their Patriarch. Many thoughts appeared in their minds one after another.
"He's the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan? He's an Eminent Celestial? "
At some point, Duan Lingtian had opened his eyes. He was no longer resting. He looked at the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan and sized him up.
While Duan Lingtian sized up the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was also looking at him.
"Duan Lingtian!"
After the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan appeared, he ignored Yuwen Haochen, Shi Nanfeng, and the others.
He turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and said nonchalantly, "I have to say, you're really lucky. You managed to obtain the energy from the Devata Realm that's comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy. Not only that, but it's also able to help you!"
The energy from a Devata Realm that's comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy!
Upon hearing the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's words, Duan Lingtian's eyes widened, and his expression changed drastically.
Naturally, he knew what the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was referring to. It was none other than the Sun Force that came from Huo Lao, the Three-legged Golden Crow, in his body.
Previously, he had heard Huo Lao mention the Sun Force.
The Sun Force was superior to all other forces in the mundane realms. It was on the same level as the Celestial Origin Energy.
However, up until now, no one had been able to see through it.
However, as soon as the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan showed up, he knew Duan Ling Tian possessed the Celestial Origin Energy from the Devata Realms.
In other words …
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan had discovered the Sun Force in his body was extraordinary!
"The energy from a Devata Realm that's comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy?"
Upon hearing the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's words, Duan Lingtian's expression changed drastically. Everyone, including Yuwen Haochen and Shi Nanfeng, was stunned as well.
"Lord Patriarch said Duan Lingtian possesses energy that's comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy this year?"
Many people were puzzled as they looked at each other. They could see the same confusion in each other's eyes.
"Don't tell me … the Celestial Origin Energy Duan Ling Tian that the patriarch mentioned is the technique he cast later on? Or could it be that the bird formed from the golden flames was created by the Patriarch of the Human-Devil Clan? "
One of the Vice Palace Masters of Crimson Blaze Palace muttered to himself as he pondered.
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's next words confirmed the Vice Palace Master's conjecture.
"It's obvious that the Patriarch of the Human-Devil Clan didn't cultivate the Patriarch of the Human-Devil Clan.
If I'm not mistaken, you must have had a fortuitous encounter and accidentally obtained the Patriarch of the Human-Devil Clan … "
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan said unhurriedly as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
It was as though the Patriarch of the Human-Devil Clan knew Duan Lingtian like the back of his hand.
His gaze seemed to be able to see through everything, making Duan Lingtian feel as though there was nowhere to hide.
Duan Lingtian remained silent when he heard the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's words.
However, in the depths of his heart, waves of shock had already been set off.
'Are all Eminent Celestials so terrifying? The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan can see that the Sun Force in my body is not something that I obtained through cultivation. It's something that I obtained by accident! '
Naturally, the Sun Force was not something that Duan Lingtian obtained through cultivation.
The Sun Force was the energy that Huo Lao, the Three-legged Golden Crow, had imbued into his body. It complemented his Saint Origin so there was no need for him to expend the Sun Force.
However, when he was resisting the 80th Tribulation Lightning earlier, more than half of the Sun Force had been depleted.
Since it was not something that he obtained through cultivation, it was impossible for him to replenish it once it was depleted.
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was not angered by Duan Ling Tian's lack of response. He continued to say nonchalantly, "You're right.
He continued to say unhurriedly, "Earlier, the Celestial Origin Energy in your body that transformed into the Human-Devil Clan helped you resist the 80th Tribulation Lightning.
However, more than half of the Sun Force has been depleted. There's not much left. But I don't know … am I right? "
Swoosh!
Upon hearing the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's words, Duan Lingtian could no longer maintain his composure. His expression changed again.
He did not expect this.
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan would be able to see through this.
"An Eminent Celestial is truly terrifying!"
A hint of dread could be seen in Duan Lingtian's eyes when he looked at the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan again. He felt as though he had no secrets in front of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Human-Devil Clan no longer has the ability to help you resist the 81st Tribulation Lightning. Even if you attack with all your might with your injured body and with the help of your remaining Celestial Origin Energy, it won't be enough to withstand the last Tribulation Lightning of the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil Race continued. Every word he said echoed in the air.
Duan Lingtian's expression darkened when he heard this.
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's words were exactly what he was worried about.
In the eyes of others, Duan Lingtian was worried.
Since Duan Ling Tian had easily withstood the 80th lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, he was certain he would be able to withstand the 81st lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial.
However, Duan Lingtian knew very well.
Even though the Sun Energy had returned to his body, the remaining Sun Energy was not enough to help him withstand the 81st Tribulation Lightning, which was also the last Tribulation Lightning!
"What?!"
Upon hearing the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's words and seeing Duan Lingtian's grave expression, Gan Ru Yan and Peng Lai's expressions changed drastically.
Initially, they thought Duan Ling Tian would be able to easily pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial when they saw how easily Duan Ling Tian had overcome the 80th bolt of lightning.
Who would have thought that there would be so many twists and turns?
"I thought there was a miracle … I didn't expect it to be short-lived!"
Peng Lai smiled wryly.
"Brother Tian!"
"Father!"
Ke 'er and Duan Si Ling, who had originally heaved a sigh of relief, turned pale again.
"How did this happen?"
Huang Wen Jing's frosty face turned pale. She felt as though she had fallen from heaven to hell in just a blink of an eye.
It was the same for Huang Qi Ling.
"As it turns out, the technique Duan Ling Tian cast earlier that easily withstood the 80th Tribulation Lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation was merely a sign of terminal lucidity. To think I thought he'd really overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!
This was what most people thought.
Yun Fu Ye and Shi Nanfeng laughed.
Most people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls laughed as well.
"I see!"
Yuwen Haochen sneered as he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, I've overestimated you!
To think I even asked Lord Patriarch to deal with you … Now, it seems like Lord Patriarch doesn't have to make a move, and I don't have to make a move either! The last Tribulation Lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation will kill you! "
Yuwen Haochen's voice grew louder and louder as he spoke.
Apart from that, Yuwen Haochen, Shi Nanfeng, and the people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls realized the Patriarch of the Three Palaces and Six Halls had arrived.
The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan had arrived a long time ago.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to know so much about Duan Lingtian's situation.
'As expected of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan. What a sharp eye!'
Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh when he saw the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan had exposed his predicament. He was shocked by the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's eyesight.
At the same time, he turned to look at Kerr.
His gaze swept past Kerr and Duan Si Ling as though he was trying to engrave their faces in his mind.
"Goodbye, Kerr, Si Ling.
If there's an afterlife, I'll make it up to both of you! "
No matter how unwilling Duan Lingtian was, he knew it was impossible to change the outcome.
Of course, this did not mean Duan Lingtian was going to resign himself to his fate.
No matter how powerful the last Tribulation Lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation was, he would not just stand there and wait for his death.
He would fight the Tribulation Lightning with all his might until he was killed.
Even if he died, he would not feel wronged when he walked on the road to the netherworld.
