2327 Tiger Devil Phantom

Xiang Yuan Ba's voice was not loud when he spoke. However, due to how silent it was, many people, including Duan Ling Tian, overheard his explanation.

'Bodiless Celestial!' Duan Ling Tian finally discovered that one would become a Bodiless Celestial if one failed but survived the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Bodiless Celestials are stronger than Eminent Celestials. To be exact, those who are Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestials or higher were stronger than Eminent Celestials. Moreover, the more tribulations a Bodiless Celestial successfully overcame, the stronger he would be. In fact, his strength could be even as strong as the celestials from the Devata Realm! Xing Yuan Ba's words had undoubtedly opened a door to a new world for him.

When Ke'er and Duan Si Ling heard this, they could not help but worry about Duan Ling Tian again. "Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestials are stronger than Eminent Celestials?" Previously, they had thought the patriarch's master, Liao Nai Jiang, was merely a very strong Eminent Celestial. They did not expect him to be someone whose existence was above Eminent Celestials.

Huang Wen Jing's cold expression was replaced by a grim one when she heard this. She thought Duan Ling Tian would be able to escape since he seemed to be stronger than the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan. 'Bodiless Celestial…' Who knew the appearance of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's master would turn the situation around again? Moreover, the patriarch's master was a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who was much stronger than an Eminent Celestial.

"Master!"

"Brother Ling Tian!"

Both Peng Lai and Huang Qi Ling were feeling anxious at this moment. They felt as though they were sitting on a rollercoaster.

Yun Fu Ye sneered. "I can't believe Lord Patriarch's master is still alive. It's even harder to believe he's a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial whose strength surpasses Eminent Celestials… Wouldn't be it easy for a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial to kill Duan Ling Tian?" He had gone through ups and downs today, but ultimately, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian would die.

...

The energy surged out of Liao Nai Jiang's body and wreaked havoc in the place. The ground quaked and the sky seemed as though it was going to fall. Suddenly, he bellowed, "Human brat!" His voice was so loud that it unintentionally caused many people to bleed from their ears. There were even people who bled from their seven orifices. He continued to bellow at Duan Ling Tian, sentencing him to death, "When you're in hell, remember that the person who killed you is Liao Nai Jiang, the Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!"

When Liao Nai Jiang finished speaking, the crowd fell silent and turned in unison to look at him. They knew he was about to make his move.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang in the air as Liao Nai Jiang disappeared from many people's sight. Only a few people at or above the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage could vaguely catch his moving figure.

There were rumors going around that said among the leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Halls, only the three Palace Masters were powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. In actual fact, the six Hall Masters were also at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage Ninth! The Hall Masters were only slightly weaker than the Palace Masters.

"This..." When Liao Nai Jiang disappeared from where he stood, many of them were stunned to see the place where he was standing distorting as though a crack would appear in the void. It took a few moments before the ripples faded away.

"He's insanely powerful! He almost caused a tear in space!"

"So this is the strength of a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Just the energy from his movement alone is this terrifying!"

"As expected of someone who's stronger than Eminent Celestials!"

These people finally saw for themselves how amazing a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was.

"Even the strongest Eminent Celestial isn't capable of distorting space like that, right?"

Many people felt fear coursing through their veins as they continued to discuss among themselves.

Among the crowd, only three people managed to catch a better look at Liao Nai Jiang's figure when he moved. These people were Yang Zhen Xing, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan and the direct disciple of Liao Nai Jiang, Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint who had just become an Eminent Celestial after passing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, and Duan Ling Tian who was the target of Liao Nai Jiang's attack. Among the three, Duan Ling Tian was the only one who could see Liao Nai Jiang's figure most clearly.

'How fast and powerful!' Duan Ling Tian could see the void rippling and distorting in Liao Nai Jiang's wake. After a while, his eyes widened when he saw something shocking.

When Liao Nai Jiang charged out, he suddenly turned into a blanket of grey fog. After a while, it began to expand before it transformed into a monster the size of a small hill. It was in the shape of a tiger and was shrouded by dark flames. The monster's eyes were glittering red. It caused shivers to run up people's spines with just a look.

Roar!!!

As soon as Liao Nai Jiang transformed into a monster the size of a small hill, an earth-shattering roar reverberated in the air. The roar hurt the ears of many disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace. The disciples quickly retreated and covered their ears with their hands. An expression of amazement and horror appeared on their faces as they stared at the rippling and distorting void. Since their cultivation bases were not very high, they could only see the distortion in the void. They had not seen Liao Nai Jiang's new form, the monstrous tiger the size of a small hill.

"Tiger Devil Phantom!" The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, Yang Zhen Xing, was overwhelmed with emotions when he saw this. He did not think his master would use his strongest technique as soon as he made a move. 'It seems like my master isn't taking the chance of underestimating Duan Ling Tian and decided to attack with all his might!' Since he was Liao Nai Jiang's direct disciple, it was only natural that he knew the Tiger Devil Phantom was the strongest technique in his master's arsenal. His master was the offspring of a human and a Tiger Devil. This meant that he was half a Tiger Devil. His master had cast the Tiger Devil Phantom by burning his Tiger Devil Blood Veins while he used his offensive and assist-type Divine Abilities and human martial techniques. 'Unfortunately, master will have to spend some time to recover the Tiger Devil Blood Vein after he uses this technique. I hope he'll be able to recover before the fourth Celestial Tribulation comes. Otherwise, he would be in a disadvantageous position.' He could not help but worry about his master when he thought about this.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Duan Ling Tian saw Liao Nai Jiang, the Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, who had transformed into a monster-like tiger charging toward him at a crazy speed. Each time the monster's paws landed, a deafening explosion would sound in the air and the void would distort in his wake. In fact, if one were to take a closer look, paw prints could be seen in the air where he stepped! Air! Not ground! It would be simple to leave marks on the ground, but how powerful must someone be to leave marks in the air? Even the strongest Eminent Celestial was not capable of this.

In just a blink of an eye, Liao Nai Jiang who had transformed into a monster was less than 100 meters away from Duan Ling Tian. His eyes glittered like rubies, it was extremely blinding. Liao Nai Jiang opened his jaw and an orb formed from dark force began to appear. Its aura was so destructive it felt as though it was capable of destroying everything.

"Die!" Liao Nai Jiang roared.

Whoosh!

The orb shot out of the monster-like tiger's jaw toward Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian was dumbfounded when he saw what happened next.

When the orb shot out, Liao Nai Jiang who had transformed into the tiger monster suddenly turned into a blanket of grey fog again and shrouded the orb. When this happened, Duan Ling Tian could clearly feel the force of the orb increase another level.
