Chapter 3505 - Rudimentary Comprehension Of The Sword Dao

Duan Ling Tian was the third participant in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses to reveal the strength of a Five Star God of War. Hence, he was temporarily ranked 3rd in the final round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. The two participants above him, Zhong Gui Yu and Tang San Pao, had revealed their strength earlier than he did.

Swoosh!

After Yu Dong Fang, who was ranked 11th, challenged Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Liang flew out indifferently. In just a blink of an eye, he arrived at the battle ring and stood across from Yu Dong Fang.

"Duan Ling Tian," Yu Dong Fang stared at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes as he said, "The moment has finally come. I will defeat you in front of everyone today, not for any other reason than your despicable behavior."

"Alright. You can attack first." Duan Ling Tian nodded indifferently in response to Yu Dong Fang's words.

No one expected Duan Ling Tian would ask Yu Dong Fang to attack immediately. It was clear he was not interested in wasting words or understanding Yu Dong Fang's reasons. He was clearly only there to fight.

The young geniuses were delighted by this. They began to egg Yu Dong Fang on. Some of them were certain of Yu Dong Fang's victory, and some of them thought Duan Ling Tian stood a chance of winning.

"It's true. What's the point in wasting time talking when you can just fight?"

"Yu Dong Fang! Hurry up and attack! Keep your words and defeat Duan Ling Tian!"

"Yu Dong Fang made such a lofty promise. Will he fail?"

"I don't think so. He's a couple of centuries older than Duan Ling Tian after all. Moreover, he's also Heavenly Emperor Xuanyuan's most promising disciple. He's a peerless genius in the Pavilion Shaft Heaven."

"However, Duan Ling Tian isn't weak as well. He's just a little over 600 years old, but he's much stronger than most of the participants of the Battle of the Geniuses."

At this point, no one dared to look down on Duan Ling Tian any longer like they did when the Devata Realms's Battle of the Geniuses had just begun. He had proven himself time after time. So what if he was young? With his strength that was comparable to a Five Star God of War, he made it into the top 30. He was much stronger than some people who were older than him.

Meanwhile, Yu Dong Fang grew even more agitated upon seeing Duan Ling Tian's calmness. He felt as though Duan Ling Tian was looking down on him. His eyes flashed coldly as he said, "Duan Ling Tian, I hope you still can maintain your composure when you lose."

Bang!

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, a golden orb of energy rose behind Yu Dong Fang. Like the sun shining at his back, he looked like the god of sun. He was shining so brightly that it was difficult to look directly at him. Following that, a sword-shaped mark appeared on his glabella.

Swoosh!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a dazzling sword ray shot out of Yu Dong Fang's glabella. It was so bright that it eclipsed the surrounding light. It shot toward Duan Ling Tian with great momentum.

Nevertheless, Duan Ling Tian stood unmoving, calmly facing Yu Dong Fang's probing attack. As the sword ray drew close, his Mastery Dao caused the void around him to distort and ripple. Soon enough, a vortex appeared and easily devoured the sword ray.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian glanced at Yu Dong Fang and said indifferently, "I suggest you attack with all your might next. Otherwise, I worry you won't have a chance to attack again."

Duan Ling Tian's words were akin to rubbing salt in Yu Dong Fang's wound.

Despite his calm expression, Yu Dong Fang was inwardly furious. His eyes turned frostier and frostier as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, "As expected of the only true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. You're really confident. I'll grant your wish then. Let's decide the outcome with one move!"

As soon as Yu Dong Fang's voice fell, hundreds and thousands of sword rays shot out from the golden orb, which looked like the blazing sun, hanging at his back.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Sword rays after sword rays shot toward Duan Ling Tian. It was as though the golden orb could launch infinite sword rays.

Duan Ling Tian remained indifferent as usual when faced with Yu Dong Fang's attacks. His Space Mastery Dao continued to devour the sword rays shooting toward him.

"It seems like this attack isn't enough to quash your Mastery Dao," Yu Dong Fang said pointedly. He was not nervous at all. He continued to say, "Then, let me cast the Sword Dao my master had taught me to destroy your space Mastery Dao!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Following that, the sword rays released by the golden orb hanging at Yu Dong Fang's back switched directions. They no longer flew toward Duan Ling Tian, but they flew around him instead. In just a blink of an eye, the battle ring had turned into a sea of golden sword rays.

At the same time, Yu Dong Fang cast various Fused Profundities from the law of metal as well, boosting the sword rays.

"Sword Dao?" Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly. "If I'm not mistaken you only have a rudimentary understanding of the Sword Dao…"

Duan Ling Tian had formed his own Space Sword Dao through his master's Destructive Sword Dao. Hence, he could easily see through the Sword Dao that Yu Dong Fang cast. With just a glance, he knew Yu Dong Fang had only begun to comprehend the Sword Dao. Although it boosted Yu Dong Fang's strength greatly to the point where Duan Ling Tian felt slightly pressured, it was still within Duan Ling Tian's control.

"So what if I have just a basic comprehension or if I'm just about to form it? It's more than enough to defeat you!" Yu Dong Fang sneered.

The countless sword rays began to fly around as though they were weaving a web to trap Duan Ling Tian.

Sword cries rang in the air as everyone watched the sword ray weave a web around Duan Ling Tian. Based on the sword rays' speed, it would not take long before Duan Ling Tian was completely trapped.

Yu Dong Fang's voice rang in the air again. "Duan Ling Tian, this is my strongest move. It can even severely injure a top Five Star God of War if the timing is right. It's too late for you to escape now."

The crowd broke into another uproar. Yu Dong Fang's attacks were too terrifying. It was not something ordinary Five Star Gods of War was capable of. Even the expressions of some of the participants with the strength of Five Star Gods of War turned solemn when they saw Yu Dong Fang's attacks.

At this time, those who thought Duan Ling Tian stood a chance of winning began to waver. They looked at Yu Dong Fang intently, trying to find signs of him exaggerating his strength but to no avail.

"Duan Ling Tian is trapped… If Yu Dong Fang isn't exaggerating his strength, he should win soon."

"It can even injure a top Five Star God of War…. Duan Ling Tian's Space Mastery Dao doesn't seem capable of withstanding such an attack. After all, he had only formed it recently and had a basic understanding of it…"

"It seems like Duan Ling Tian is about to lose!"

Duan Ling Tian is losing soon, isn't he?"

Boom!

Everyone watched as the round web of energy around Duan Ling Tian suddenly exploded. The force of the explosion seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Fortunately, Xu Kong Hai was quick to act. He quickly contained the energy to prevent it from spilling out and injuring the young geniuses nearby.

The explosion of the golden energy was so bright that it hurt the others to look at it directly. It took a while for the light to dim before the others could look at the battle ring again. They discovered that Duan Ling Tian was nowhere to be seen.

"Did Duan Ling Tian explode as well?"

"Was he blown into pieces?"

While almost everyone was convinced that Duan Ling Tian had been blown to pieces by Yu Dong Fang's attack, Yu Dong Fang was frowning at this moment. Although he was confident his attack would defeat Duan Ling Tian, he knew it was not so powerful that it could blow Duan Ling Tian into pieces, including his Spatial Ring.

Just as an ominous feeling rose in Yu Dong Fang's heart, he felt his heart sink completely when he heard the crowd's sudden exclamation and saw their eyes that were trained in the air above him.

"Duan Ling Tian's not dead! He's there!"
