2277 His Wish Is Fulfilled

Duan Ling Tian could see that Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, held onto the Thousand Inscriptions Sword with his profound martial tactics, not his Divine Ability. Just with his grip alone, he blocked the full force of the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword. His vice-like grip had completely stopped the sword from flying away.

Although Duan Ling Tian had used the mysterious third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword Supreme Sword Dao Mental Dao Cultivation Method, the Sword Warding Heart, Yuwen Hao Chen had blocked his attack effortlessly with such a direct method.

His Saint Origin seems to be in harmony with heaven and earth... He seems to have reached a stage where his soul is one when the universe when he uses his Saint Origin!' Duan Ling Tian managed to figure out why Yuwen Hao Chen was so strong. Yuwen Hao Chen's comprehension of heaven and earth had to be quite deep, and he had entered an extraordinarily high level. That was how he managed to use his Saint Origin in such a domineering manner.

Yuwen Hao Chen had skillfully used his Saint Origin and profound martial tactic to deflect Duan Ling Tian's mighty attack.

Meanwhile, the force of the Thousand Inscription Saint Sword in Yuwen Hao Chen's hand gradually vanished as time passed. The sword finally stopped moving.

Suddenly...

Ding!

A clear and ear-piercing sound rang in the air as Yuwen Hao Chen pointed his finger at the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword before the sword flew out.

Swoosh!

The sword then turned into a swift sword qi that flew back to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian countered this by gathering his Sun Saint Origin that he had gathered to receive the sword. Nevertheless, the force of the sword that was returned to him numbed his hand even though he had used his Sun Saint Origin. "'What an extraordinarily strong force!' He was stunned.

Yuwen Hao Chen merely used his Saint Origin to shoot the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword back to Duan Ling Tian but it contained such a terrifying force.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian finally had a slight taste of the amazing power of a cultivator at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage after comprehending heaven and earth.

The Palace Master's Saint Origin is so powerful, his comprehension of heaven and earth has to be quite deep. In fact, his Celestial Ascension Tribulation might be near,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

When Duan Ling Tian finally managed to regain complete control of the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword, Yuwen Hao Chen suddenly said in a low voice, "Duan Ling Tian, try and withstand my strike!" His Saint Origin that resonated with heaven and earth began to spike rapidly as he raised his hand.

Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he heard Yuwen Hao Chen's words!

What a joke! Yuwen Chao was strong enough to capture Duan Ling Tian's Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword that he had unleashed with all his strength with just a simple martial tactic. Let alone a strike with both martial tactic and Divine Ability, Duan Ling Tian did not think he would be able to withstand a strike from Yuwen Hao Chen that contained his martial tactic.

It seems like I can only use the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, at this time...' Duan Ling Tian suddenly remembered the Devilseal Tablet during this precarious situation. This was his last resort. Although he was not certain if it would be effective against a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, this was the only option he was left with. If he could kill Yuwen Hao Chen, he could instantly take over and become the new Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. At the very least, with the Devilseal Tablet, he still had a chance of surviving. For this reason, he decided to use the Devilseal Tablet.

"Lord Palace Master!" Huang Qi Ling was shocked when he saw Yuwen Hao Chen planned to attack Duan Ling Tian. Another voice cried out as soon as Huang Qi Ling finished speaking, "Master, please be merciful!"

The melodic voice belonged to a girl. A hint of care could be heard in her cold voice.

"Hmm?" Yuwen Hao Chen stopped moving and he knitted his brows together.

Swoosh!

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian felt a gust of wind blow past him as a beautiful girl appeared in front of him. 'It's her!' He recognized this person dressed in white just by looking at her back.

This girl was the strongest among her peers in the Wandering Saint Palace. Apart from that, she was also known as the most beautiful woman in the Human-Devil clan. This girl was none other than Huang Wen Jing.

A year ago, Duan Ling Tian had battled with Huang Wen Jing. After that, in the ruin allegedly left by the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master who was an Eminent Celestial, she had stepped back and allowed him to enter the Time Cave without a fight. Since he was able to enter the Time Cave, he was able to completely master his Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic. For this reason, he felt grateful to her. Consequently, he helped her to improve her Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one. Although it was just a light violet Innate Spiritual Root, it was still leaps and bounds better than most Devils' Innate Spiritual Roots. He did not think he would meet her again under such circumstances.

Huang Wen Jing called Yuwen Hao Chen master? Right. I remember someone mentioned that Huang Wen Jing is the Palace Master's last direct disciple. Moreover, she's also his favorite disciple,' Duan Ling Tian thought about what he had heard a year ago.

When Yuwen Hao Chen saw his favorite disciple trying to block his strike, his expression darkened immediately as he asked in a stern and low voice, "Wen Jing, what're you doing?"

"Master, he came here to join the Wandering Saint Palace... It would be a great loss to the palace if you kill him," Huang Wen Jing replied determinedly as she emitted a cold aura.

"You..." Yuwen Hao Chen could only give up when he heard the determination in Huang Wen Jing's voice to protect Duan Ling Tian. Since he had no children of his own, he treated her like his daughter. Moreover, from the get-go, he did not intend to kill Duan Ling Tian at all. Although he had planned to attack him, he was not going to use all his strength. He only planned to test Duan Ling Tian's strength and limit to gain a better understanding of him. After all, as the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, how could he possibly reject a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had come to join them? However, he did not expect his favorite disciple to foil his plan. At this point, he could only give up.

Well, there's plenty of time for me to test his strength at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage,' Yuwen Hao Chen thought to himself, dismissing his plan to test Duan Ling Tian's strength now.

Duan Ling Tian was obviously unaware of Yuwen Hao Chen's thoughts. If he knew what Yuwen Hao Chen was thinking, he would feel relieved he did not use the Devilseal Tablet. If he had used the Devilseal Tablet, Yuwen Hao Chen would discover he was not a Devil Cultivator. At that time, Yuwen Hao Chen might really kill him!

After all, the Wandering Saint Palace was still one of the nine great forces in the Human-Devil clan. Although the members from Wandering Saint Palace were humans, they were still part of the Devil Clans.

When Yuwen Hao Chen gave up on attacking Duan Ling Tian, Huang Qi Ling was not the only one who sighed in relief, but even Huang Wen Jing sighed in relief as well.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian looked at Huang Wen Jing gratefully and expressed his gratitude. "Thanks."

Yuwen Hao Chen said, "Duan Ling Tian!"

Whoosh!

Yuwen Hao Chen lifted his hand and a streak of light shot toward Duan Ling Tian. The streak of light was not aggressive, therefore, Duan Ling Tian caught it easily.

"This is..." Duan Ling Tian opened his palm and discovered an Order Token in his hand. Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was an Identity Token.

"Vice Palace Master?" Duan Ling Tian's eyes widened when he saw the three words engraved on the Identity Token. At this moment, he felt as though he had just gotten off a roller coaster ride. Today had been filled with ups and downs.

Duan Ling Tian was still in a state of shock when Yuwen Hao Chen announced in a voice that seemed to contain a magical force as it transmitted to the entire Wandering Saint Palace. "From today onward, Duan Ling Tian is a Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace!"

Naturally, everyone heard Yuwen Hao Chen's announcement.

"Duan Ling Tian...Vice Palace Master?"

"Lord Palace Master has given his order! From today onward, Duan Ling Tian is our Vice Palace Master!"

"Duan Ling Tian is now our Vice Palace Master... Does this mean there's another powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in our Wandering Saint Palace?"

"This is definitely great news!"

An uproar broke out again in the Wandering Saint Palace when the people recovered from the shock.
