When they saw Sword 13 reveal a cultivation at the ninth level of the Void Transformation Stage, Ning Can and Feng Wei, the two Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort, had fearful expressions as if they were facing a dreadful beast.
"Sword 13, since you're already a ninth level Void Transformation Stage expert, the two of us know that we're not a match for you … But, the rules of the second round of the selections today were agreed upon since the beginning, and it's only for the sake of seizing the number tokens to carry out the ranking."
Ning Can took a deep breath and said frankly, "These rules were set by the Lord Fort Master. If you have any doubts, you can follow me to see the Lord Fort Master for confirmation. "
The Lord Fort Master Ning Can spoke of was precisely the highest leader that commanded the entire Skywolf Fort, the elusive Fort Master of Skywolf Fort.
After Ning Can mentioned the Fort Master of Skywolf Fort, slight fear flashed past Sword 13's eyes, and then he grunted coldly in the end and didn't say anything further.
Even though he wasn't afraid of the two Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort before him, he had no choice but to be extremely fearful of the Fort Master of Skywolf Fort.
The Fort Master of Skywolf Fort had been famous for many years, and even if Sword 13's cultivation had broken through to the ninth level of the Void Transformation Stage now, he knew that he wasn't a match for the Fort Master.
"Duan Lingtian, let's go!"
Sword 13 paid no further attention to Ning Can and Feng Wei, and he spoke to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian nodded. At the same time that he left with Sword 13, he didn't forget to put away the Devilseal Tablet in his hand, and at the same time, he fiercely glanced at Zi Shang who stood nearby.
When Feng Wei rushed over in time, he knew that it was impossible for him to kill Zi Shang.
No matter how unwilling he was, he had no other choice.
No matter what, this was Skywolf Fort, and Feng Wei was the Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort.
Moreover, the rules of the second round of the selections did indeed not state that one could kill … So Feng Wei's interference couldn't be considered to have broken the rules.
"If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have put away the Devilseal Tablet the first time I attacked earlier …"
Thinking about what had just happened, Duan Lingtian felt a wave of regret.
When he made a move against Zi Shang for the first time, Zi Shang had hastily cried for help from Feng Wei, whereas he was worried that Feng Wei would notice the Devilseal Tablet in his hand, so he put it away at the first possible moment.
At that time, he was in a hurry to kill Zi Shang, and for a moment, he forgot that there was a remnant soul that seemed to belong to Emperor Wu within Zi Shang's body, allowing Zi Shang to escape calamity under his soul skill, Thousand Illusions.
When he recovered from his shock and realized his mistake, he withdrew the Devilseal Tablet once more and intended to use the Devilseal Tablet to blast Zi Shang to death.
Feng Wei had come, forced him to retreat, and saved Zi Shang.
"One wrong step leads to many wrong steps!"
Duan Lingtian sighed. He originally had the opportunity to kill Zi Shang today, but because of a momentary lapse in judgment, Zi Shang had luckily escaped calamity.
Of course, Duan Lingtian also understood that at this point, it was useless to think about it any further.
In this world, there was no medicine for regret.
What he had to do now was to not make another mistake when the next opportunity arrived, and strive to kill Zi Shang at the first possible moment!
His heart couldn't be at ease until Zi Shang died.
"All in all, my current strength is still too weak … If I possessed a strength that surpassed Skywolf Fort, then not to mention Feng Wei and Ning Can, these two Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort, even if the Fort Master of Skywolf Fort personally made a move against me, I would similarly not be afraid, and I would be entirely capable of killing Zi Shang right before his eyes!"
Duan Lingtian realized once again that his strength was still too weak.
Now, he didn't compare himself with the younger generation, but Feng Wei, Ning Can, and the other experts of the older generation instead.
"Strength, I need a formidable strength!"
Duan Lingtian shouted ceaselessly in his heart.
Whereas the Origin Energy in his body seemed to have heard his soundless shouts, and it completely seethed as if it had transformed into numerous furious dragons that flashed through the meridians in his body.
At the same time, the medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill that was originally accumulated in the depths of his Dantian fused a step further into his Origin Energy.
At this instant, Duan Lingtian felt his entire body was filled with strength, and he'd taken another great step towards the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage, and it was even to the extent that he'd arrived at the bottleneck!
"So long as I charge through the bottleneck, I'll be able to officially step into the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed like two dazzling stars that flickered.
Before leaving the Illusory Crypt, Duan Lingtian didn't forget to glance coldly at Zi Shang.
The day would come when he completely annihilated Zi Shang, and he would use the Devilseal Tablet to crush the incomplete soul that was suspected to be Emperor Wu that was concealed within Zi Shang's body.
He wasn't afraid of Zi Shang in the slightest.
He was afraid of the incomplete soul that was suspected to be Emperor Wu that was concealed within Zi Shang's body, and that was the greatest threat.
"Duan Lingtian, I'll make you die a graveless death!"
Right at this moment, Zi Shang's voice transmission that was filled with blood and ruthlessness sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears, and it seemed as if he wished for nothing more than to tear Duan Lingtian into pieces before burning his bones and scattering his ashes.
"Then let's see who dies first."
A wisp of disdain appeared on the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth as he replied indifferently to Zi Shang, and then he followed behind Sword 13 and Saber 5 to pass through the mist at the exit of the Illusory Crypt to return to the combat arena in the outer fort of Skywolf Fort.
As soon as he left, Duan Lingtian noticed numerous burning gazes descending onto him, and these gazes contained admiration, disbelief, and disbelief …
A variety of emotions represented the feelings of the representatives of the various Dynasties in the sky above the combat arena at this moment.
"It's actually him!"
"How could it possibly be him? He's only 28 years old … The first to leave the Illusory Crypt at the age of 28? "
"Even though I feel it's unbelievable as well, the facts prove that he's indeed the first to leave … The number 1 token has most probably fallen into his hands."
"He probably used some sort of special method to take a shortcut … Otherwise, it's impossible for him to leave the Illusory Crypt so quickly."
"28 years old, he's at most at the first level of the Void Interpretation Stage, and he might not even have broken through to the Void Interpretation Stage."
…
Besides the representatives of the Darkhan Dynasty and Darming Dynasty, the representatives of the other eight Dynasties discussed animatedly, and all of them revealed doubtful expressions.
Obviously, they didn't believe that Duan Lingtian possessed the strength to be the first to pass through the Illusory Crypt.
"Duan Lingtian is actually the first to leave?!"
The Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor's eyes lit up as he hurriedly sent a voice transmission into Duan Lingtian's ears. "Duan Lingtian, congratulations on being the first to pass through the Illusory Crypt. Have you obtained the number 1 token?"
Duan Lingtian raised his head to glance at the Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor when he heard the voice, and then he nodded indifferently.
"Haha … Good!"
The Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor laughed, and he laughed extremely brilliantly.
At the same time, the gaze he shot at the representatives of the other nine Dynasties had undergone a change, and it was filled with complacency as if he was saying.
See that?
This is the young expert of our Darkhan Dynasty!
Bai Nan Yin, Zi Shang's master, glanced at Duan Lingtian with a complicated gaze, and he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat for Zi Shang in his heart.
He was clearly aware of the conflict between Duan Lingtian and his disciple, Zi Shang, and it was a conflict that couldn't be resolved and wouldn't end until one of them was dead.
"No wonder even Wei Yi lost at his hands … This Duan Lingtian is indeed extraordinary."
The representative of the Darming Dynasty, the expert from the Darming Dynasty's Zhao Clan, Elder Qian, looked at Duan Lingtian with a gaze filled with astonishment.
Duan Lingtian wasn't unfamiliar to him.
It was even to the extent that a few months ago, when he was still in the Capital of the Darming Dynasty, he'd heard that there was a young man that could easily defeat the strongest expert in the younger generation of their Zhao Clan.
When he arrived at the Zhao Clan's Skywolf Fort and saw this young man for the first time, he felt shock that came from the bottom of his heart.
Never had he imagined that this person would actually be so young.
"I originally thought that the first to pass through the Illusory Crypt would be the Crown Prince … I never imagined that it would instead be this Duan Lingtian."
Elder Qian sighed in his heart.
After leaving the Illusory Crypt, Duan Lingtian who'd become the center of attention silently stood in midair with Sword 13 and Saber 5.
"You passed through the Illusory Crypt long ago and obtained the number 1 token?"
Sword 13 glanced at Duan Lingtian and asked.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"So in this way … The reason you didn't come out at the first possible moment was because you were waiting for Zi Shang? How long did you wait for him? "
Saber 5's pupils constricted as he asked with surprise.
"I waited for around 50 or 60 breaths of time."
Duan Lingtian said.
50 or 60 breaths of time?
Sword 13 and Saber 5 couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard Duan Lingtian, and they saw astonishment in each other's eyes.
There was only a single thought left in their hearts.
Freak!
This Duan Lingtian was simply a freak!
"Junior Brother Sword … This little fellow must be pulled into our Blade Sect no matter what!"
Saber 5 looked at Sword 13 and spoke with a serious expression.
Even though he usually didn't get along well with Sword 13, and it was even to the extent that he refused to accept Sword 13 in many aspects, but that was only a private matter between them.
Once it was related to the Blade Sect, he would instead stand on the same side as Sword 13 and stand united against outsiders.
"I understand."
Sword 13 nodded.
Duan Lingtian naturally didn't know about the voice transmission between Sword 13 and Saber 5. Presently, he was holding the Wind Concept Fragment in his hand and comprehending Wind Concept in meditation.
Not only that, he'd even closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in midair while cultivating seriously.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Sword Dragon Form!
The Origin Energy in Duan Lingtian's body became restless once more along with him starting to cultivate, and it ceaselessly circulated according to the mental cultivation method of the Sword Dragon Form before charging towards the bottleneck that led to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
"So long as I break through the bottleneck, I'll be able to smoothly break through to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage!"
After the incident from before, Duan Lingtian was filled with yearning towards formidable strength, and he urgently wanted to improve his cultivation at the fastest speed possible.
"Vice Fort Master Ning has come out!"
At the same time, someone shouted out, causing the gazes of the representatives of the various Dynasties in the sky above the combat arena to move towards the exit of the Illusory Crypt.
Even though these people were puzzled by the actions of Feng Wei, Ning Can, Sword 13, and Saber 5 that had successively entered the exit of the Illusory Crypt, they didn't know what had happened.
Earlier, even though Zi Shang's cry for help was loud, yet it was mostly filtered out by the Inscription Formation at the exit of the Illusory Crypt, causing it to become like the sound of a mosquito.
