War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

2233 Devour! Devour!

"Quiet!" Duan Ling Tian shouted suddenly as he glared at everyone as soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking. Everyone stilled as soon as Duan Ling Tian spoke.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the sound of explosions rang in the air, a powerful force as fierce as the stormy sea surged out.

The target of the force was none other than the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier. The speed of the force was so swift that the middle-aged man had no time to react at all. When he realized what was going on, the invisible power had already silently shrouded him. He was like a lonely boat drifting in a stormy sea before being swallowed by the ferocious waves.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A gust of wind fluttered the robes of everyone present on the scene as the middle-aged man disappeared before their eyes. Those with a weaker cultivation were pushed back by the stormy wind.

The wind came from the force that Duan Ling Tian used to annihilate the middle-aged man. The man had been killed without a trace. He had left behind no corpse.

Based on this, one could see how terrifying the force was.

Huang Wen Jing was still stunned by the sight of Duan Ling Tian killing the middle-aged man when she heard his voice resonating by her ears. "Relax your body, and don't resist… I'm improving your Innate Spiritual Root!"

Based on Duan Ling Tian's words, it seemed like he was ready to improve her Innate Spiritual Root!

All of a sudden, Huang Wen Jing felt a Divine Consciousness shrouded and entered her body, heading straight for her soul. When she recalled Duan Ling Tian's words, she relaxed and did not resist it.

The Divine Consciousness, naturally, belonged to Duan Ling Tian.

After confirming the location of Huang Wen Jing's Innate Spiritual Root, Duan Ling Tian instantly cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Technique, and devoured the middle-aged man's Innate Spiritual Root and fused it with her Innate Spiritual Root.

After a while, Huang Wen Jing's Innate Spiritual Root turned a deeper indigo.

"That's all?"

When Huang Wen Jing realized that Duan Ling Tian had withdrawn his Divine Consciousness, she instinctively absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy and discovered that her speed at absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was much faster than before. Although she could feel the improvement, the improvement was not too much. She was baffled. "Didn't you say that it would be improved to a violet Innate Spiritual Root"? Could the purple-clad young man be lying to her about improving her Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one?

That guy has… disappeared?"

"He's so easily killed?"

"Earlier, I felt an indestructible force from the purple-clad young man. In the next moment, the middle-aged man had disappeared into thin air."

"What a formidable skill… Even Huang Wen Jing might not be so strong, right?"

"So this means the purple-clad young man is much stronger than Huang Wen Jing?"

There was an uproar when the group of Human-Devils recovered from what they had seen. Their eyes were filled with fear when they looked at Duan Ling Tian now. It was no wonder he was able to capture the attention of Huang Wen Jing, the most beautiful woman among the Human-Devils. As it turned out, he was so strong!

"I've already said I'll turn your Innate Spiritual Root violet. I won't go back on my words. Just be patient," Duan Ling Tian replied to Huang Wen Jing through Voice Transmission when he saw the baffled expression on her face. As soon as he finished speaking, he flew out swiftly without even waiting for Huang Wen Jing's response.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

When Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air, the sound of wind blowing began to ring in the air again.

"This…"

When Huang Wen Jing regained her senses, she looked at the figure that had just disappeared. Her eyes widened in shock and an expression of confusion appeared on her face. She was shocked by Duan Ling Tian's speed as he flashed past the Human-Devils present on the scene, killing each that he encountered.

After a few moments, Duan Ling Tian came to a halt

No living Human-Devils could be seen at all. All of them had been killed by Duan Ling Tian who had a cold expression on his face.

The Human-Devil clan, barring the humans from the Wandering Saint Palace, all had their hands stained with human blood from the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Duan Ling Tian felt no remorse when he killed them.

Duan Ling Tian's Voice Transmission jolted Huang Wen Jing out of her shock at watching him kill the group of Human- Devils. "Don't resist!" Soon after, she felt the Divine Consciousness from earlier had entered her body again. The process was the same as before.

When Duan Ling Tian withdrew his Divine Consciousness, he said to Huang Wen Jing, "Give it a try." This time, he used all the Innate Spiritual Roots from the group of Human Devils that he had killed as 'nutrients' for Huang Wen Jing's Innate Spiritual Root. He had successfully transformed her ordinary indigo Innate Spiritual Root to a dark indigo one. One had to know the transformation to a dark hue was not a minor improvement.

"This…" Huang Wen Jing's eyes widened in shock again when she checked her Innate Spiritual Root. Her expression was one of disbelief. She discovered her speed when absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy had increased by two to three folds!

"You have a dark indigo Innate Spiritual Root now… It won't take long before it changes into a violet one," Duan Ling Tian explained as he looked at Huang Wen Jing. As soon as he finished speaking, his body flashed and he left through one of the 81 entrances. The entry he had left by was different from the one he had entered earlier. He had randomly chosen one to exit the place.

"Follow me!" Duan Ling Tian promptly reminded Huang Wen Jing when he was about to leave.

As soon as Huang Wen Jing heard Duan Ling Tian's words, she did not hesitate to follow suit. She was still in a daze as she trailed after him. It only took such a short time for her Innate Spiritual Root to turn dark indigo. She felt as though she was dreaming.

Earlier, he killed that middle-aged man, and my Innate Spiritual Root improved a little… After he killed the group of Human-Devils, my Innate Spiritual Root improved tremendously…' When Huang Wen Jing calmed down, she figured out the connection between the improvement in her Innate Spiritual Root and the deaths of the Human-Devils in the cave. 'No wonder he used the word prey earlier. As it turns out, the Human-Devils are the prey to help me improve my Innate Spiritual Root!" At this moment, Huang Wen Jing finally figured out what was happening.

Duan Ling Tian guided Huang Wen Jing through the numerous passageways and discreetly devoured the Innate Spiritual Roots of the Human-Devils he encountered along the way. However, he did not kill them. He did not want to make an enemy out of the entire Human-Devil clan after all. Apart from that, he spared the humans from the Wandering Saint Palace. One could imagine, if today's incident spread out, he would undoubtedly become the target of the Human-Devil clan!

Therefore, Duan Ling Tian had to keep a low profile. He could not let a third person know about this.

"It's done!" After traveling through several dozens of passageways, Duan Ling Tian successfully helped Huang Wen Jing improve her Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one. She was now a peerless genius.

It was done? Huang Wen Jing was thrilled when she heard Duan Ling Tian's Voice Transmission. She tried to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy, and upon discovering her current cultivation speed, she was ecstatic!

"I've returned the favor that I owed you… I hope you won't speak about what happened today to anyone else!" Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Huang Wen Jing knowingly, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless. Since I'm able to give you a violet Innate Spiritual Root, I'm also able to take it away!"

Take away her Innate Spiritual Root? Fear rose in Huang Wen Jing's heart when she heard Duan Ling Tian's words. If somebody had told her before today that Duan Ling Tian could take away people's Innate Spiritual Root, she would not believe it. However, after repeatedly watching him taking other people's Innate Spiritual Roots away, she knew he was not bluffing.

"Rest assured, nobody will know about what happened today!" Huang Wen Jing promised Duan Ling Tian solemnly.

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly when he heard Huang Wen Jing's words. Then, he instantly entered another passageway and continued to discreetly devour the Innate Spiritual Roots of the Human-Devils he encountered. Naturally, he was planning to use these Innate Spiritual Roots to improve his own Innate Spiritual Root. He had already returned the favor to Huang Wen Jing after all. Although it was only improved to a light violet Innate Spiritual Root, it was still a violet Innate Spiritual Root. It was far superior to her formerly indigo Innate Spiritual Root.

Initially, Huang Wen Jing planned to follow Duan Ling Tian after he left, however, she chose not to in the end. "What a mysterious man…" She decided to return to the Wandering Saint Palace in the Human-Devil Saint City to cultivate, knowing there were no more treasures left here.
