"Don't worry Elder Ghost, unless I die … Otherwise, it's absolutely impossible for the Devilseal Tablet fragment in my possession to be taken away by Duan Lingtian."
Zi Shang vowed solemnly.
"Mmm."
The ghastly and aged voice replied, and then it said, "If it's possible, I hope you can seize the Devilseal Tablet in his possession … Even though it's only an incomplete Devilseal Tablet, the most important part of the Devilseal Tablet is within it."
"How do I seize it?"
Zi Shang asked.
"Even though I don't know the reason why that incomplete Devilseal Tablet acknowledged him as its master … So long as you can kill him, then the Devilseal Tablet will become an ownerless object. At that time, with my help, you might be able to make it acknowledge you as its master!"
As the ghastly and aged voice spoke up to here, it was faintly slightly excited.
"Elder Ghost, didn't you say that once my strength is sufficient in the future, you'll pass down the devil dao cultivation method to me and allow me to become a formidable devil dao martial cultivator? Since it's like this, what use do I have for this Devilseal Tablet? Could it be that you want it to seal me? "
Zi Shang was slightly puzzled.
"Hmph! Do you think the Devilseal Tablet only has the ability to seal devils? "
The ghastly and aged voice continued. "As a Super Saint Weapon on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Rankings, besides being able to suppress and annihilate the soul of a devil dao martial cultivator, it's also able to extract the energy of the devil dao martial cultivators sealed within it … Whereas after the energy of those devil dao martial cultivators is extracted by the Devilseal Tablet, it'll be sealed within."
"Whereas the incomplete Devilseal Tablet in that kid's possession is precisely the medium used to contain the energy of the devil dao martial cultivators that have their souls dispersed … If a martial cultivator that hasn't cultivated a devil dao cultivation method is able to make the Devilseal Tablet acknowledge him as its master, then once that martial cultivator cultivates a devil dao cultivation method in the future, he'll be able to rely on the energy of the countless devil dao experts to cultivate and advance by leaps and bounds!"
"Of course, from then onwards, the Devilseal Tablet will completely lose its ability to seal devils … Because, it'll gradually be demonized and completely lose its instincts."
As he spoke up to here, the ghastly and aged voice paused for a moment before continuing. "You're very lucky to be able to encounter this damaged Devilseal Tablet before cultivating a devil path cultivation technique … You have to know, if it was another devil path martial cultivator that had already cultivated a devil path cultivation technique, not only would it be impossible for the Devilseal Tablet to recognize him as its master, he would even suffer a backlash and be sealed by the Devilseal Tablet!"
As he spoke, his voice was filled with fear that came from the depths of his soul.
Every word of Ghost Flame's words entered Zi Shang's ears.
"Yes, I'm very lucky … However, it won't be an easy task to seize the damaged Devilseal Tablet from him."
Zi Shang stared at Duan Lingtian in the distance, and there was a trace of fear in the depths of his eyes that were filled with ruthlessness.
He never would have thought that after so many years, he, who thought that he could completely destroy Duan Lingtian, would actually be completely destroyed by the Duan Lingtian once again.
He was very unwilling.
But he knew that it was useless even if he was unwilling.
What he had to do now was to seize the damaged Devilseal Tablet from Duan Lingtian, because it would affect the advancement of his cultivation in the future.
"Hmph! If you don't want to be restrained and sealed by him with the Devilseal Tablet after cultivating a devil path cultivation technique in the future, then feel free to give up on yourself. "
Ghost Flame's ghastly and aged voice reverberated within Zi Shang's mind, and it caused Zi Shang's expression to become even more unsightly.
"I didn't say I should give up on myself."
Zi Shang spoke with a low voice.
"That's for the best. Besides that, I have to remind you that I can't directly interfere in the battle between you and him like I did in the past … The damaged Devilseal Tablet in his possession is capable of restraining and suppressing me! "
Ghost Flame continued. "So, you can only rely on yourself to deal with him in the future and seize the damaged Devilseal Tablet in his possession … Of course, I can't directly interfere, but I can do my best to assist you in improving your strength. It's for no other reason than to kill him and seize the damaged Devilseal Tablet in his possession."
"Thank you, Elder Ghost, I'll surely do my best!"
Zi Shang took a deep breath and agreed.
"You don't have to do your best, you must kill him! I can tell you that so long as you're able to make the damaged Devilseal Tablet acknowledge you as its master before cultivating a devil path cultivation technique, then once you cultivate a devil path cultivation technique in the future and rely on the strength of the numerous devil path experts sealed within the Devilseal Tablet, your strength will skyrocket, and it wouldn't be impossible for you to become the leader of the entire devil path in the future! "
Ghost Flame continued to tempt Zi Shang.
The facts proved that Ghost Flame's temptation was extremely useful.
The leader of the devil path?
Zi Shang's eyes flashed, and his mood surged completely.
Bang!
Suddenly, Zi Shang felt an enormous force assault him from behind, and it fiercely descended onto the back of his neck.
In the next moment, he felt dizzy before he completely lost consciousness.
"Useless thing!"
In the depths of Zi Shang's mind, the ghastly and aged voice was slightly exasperated.
"Duan Lingtian!"
"Duan Lingtian!"
"Duan Lingtian!"
…
At this moment, the crowd of spectators in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena were completely in an uproar, and they ceaselessly shouted out Duan Lingtian's name.
Presently, Duan Lingtian had just used his soul skill, Thousand Illusions, to construct an illusory space that enveloped Zi Shang, and under the circumstances that Zi Shang wasn't on guard at all, Duan Lingtian had moved behind Zi Shang and knocked him out.
Zi Shang who didn't have the assistance of Ghost Flame was only an ordinary ninth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist, and he was utterly unable to resist Duan Lingtian's soul skill, Thousand Illusions.
Whoosh!
On the first-class spectating area that belonged to the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family, the black clothed old man flew out to catch the unconscious Zi Shang, and then he glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian before returning to his seat.
"Brother!"
The old man had just brought Zi Shang back when Zi Yan came over with a worried expression.
"He's fine, he's only fainted."
The black clothed old man shook his head, and then he stretched out his hand to rub Zi Shang's temples. After a short moment, Zi Shang moved and woke up in a daze.
Zi Yan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this.
"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't obtain the first."
After Zi Shang woke up, he realized what had happened. He who wasn't possessed by Ghost Flame and merely relied on his ninth level Void Initiation Stage Spiritual Force to resist Duan Lingtian's illusory realm soul skill.
Even though he was unwilling to lose at the hands of Duan Lingtian, he knew that it was something that couldn't be helped.
The Devilseal Tablet countered Ghost Flame, and Ghost Flame was unable to help him resist the illusory realm soul skill. Presently, he was bound to not be a match for Duan Lingtian.
"You don't have to blame yourself. Being able to obtain the second in the Dynasty Martial Competition today is already not bad."
The old man shook his head and didn't have the slightest intention of blaming Zi Shang.
"Yeah, Brother, you're already extremely formidable."
Zi Yan spoke out as well.
"So what if I'm formidable? Didn't I still lose at the hands of Duan Lingtian? "
Zi Shang laughed with self ridicule, and then he looked at Duan Lingtian who stood in the distant sky and was receiving the cheers of the crowd of spectators in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena, and his eyes flickered with cold lights.
"Kid, with your current strength, it isn't an easy thing to seize the incomplete Devilseal Tablet in Duan Lingtian's possession … I suggest that you rely on the strength of the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family and ask the Imperial Family to seize the incomplete Devilseal Tablet in Duan Lingtian's possession!"
Suddenly, Ghost Flame's voice sounded out in Zi Shang's mind.
Get someone else to do my dirty work?
Zi Shang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he seemed to have thought of something and sighed. "Elder Ghost, even if I describe the incomplete Devilseal Tablet in Duan Lingtian's possession to an extravagant degree, and even if the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family arouses greed and seizes it away … Wouldn't we still be paving the way for someone else?"
Zi Shang wasn't willing to do something like paving the way for someone else.
"Paving the way for someone else?"
Ghost Flame said with disdain, "Even if we really paving the way for them, so what? If they aren't willing to give the Devilseal Tablet to you, then kill your way back a few years later and annihilate them to seize the Devilseal Tablet back. "
"In terms of strength, even though Duan Lingtian is far inferior to the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family now, needless to say, his potential is shocking … If the Devilseal Tablet is always in his possession, then you might not be able to seize the Devilseal Tablet from him a few years later!"
"If the Devilseal Tablet is in the hands of the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family, then with my help, I'm 100% confident in allowing you to possess the strength to crush the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family and seize the Devilseal Tablet back in a few years."
Ghost Flame's words were extremely clear.
The Devilseal Tablet in the hands of the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family was much better than in the hands of Duan Lingtian.
The potential threat of Duan Lingtian was much greater than the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family.
"Ghost Elder is wise!"
Zi Shang wasn't an idiot, and he instantly understood the meaning behind Ghost Flame's words. "Don't worry Ghost Elder, after the Dynasty Martial Competition ends today, I'll discuss it with my Master and the Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor … I believe that so long as I exaggerate a little, they'll surely be interested in the incomplete Devilseal Tablet in Duan Lingtian's possession."
Zi Shang was filled with confidence.
In the sky above the Cage Battle Arena.
"The young expert of the Darkstone Empire, Duan Lingtian, has obtained the first in our Darkhan Dynasty's Martial Competition, and he'll obtain 50,000 low grade Origin Stones as a reward!"
The old man directly announced.
Instantly, the spectators in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena were in an uproar once more.
Especially the people of the Darkstone Empire, all of them were grinning from ear to ear.
Swish!
The other old man directly passed a Spatial Ring to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian stretched out his hand to receive the Spatial Ring and dripped his blood on it to establish ownership. After confirming that there were 50,000 low grade Origin Stones within, he casually put away the Spatial Ring.
"The second in the Dynasty Martial Competition today is the young expert, Zi Shang, recommended by our Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family, and he'll obtain 30,000 low grade Origin Stones as a reward."
As for the announcement the old man made after that, Duan Lingtian didn't pay much attention to it.
At this moment, his attention was completely on the broken stone tablet that floated in midair. "Now that I think about it, it's strange that this Devilseal Tablet is actually still pestering me."
Duan Lingtian's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he shot towards the second-class spectating area where the people of the Darkstone Empire were seated.
Whoosh!
At practically the instant Duan Lingtian descended, the Devilseal Tablet appeared by his side and floated in midair like a shadow.
"Hmm?"
Right at this moment, Duan Lingtian felt that there seemed to be a slight and imperceptible connection between him and the Devilseal Tablet.
This sort of connection wasn't unfamiliar to him.
