Zhang Ji punched his fists out with his Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon that contained a punch-type tactic. Moreover, he cast one of the three Divine Abilities he had mastered as well. It was the offensive Divine Ability, the Cyclopean Punch! This was his only high-grade Divine Ability that he mastered among all three of his Divine Abilities.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When he punched his fists out, the force seemed as though it could shatter mountains. There seemed to be two majestic dragons at the wake of his fists as it punched at the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Swords that Duan Ling Tian and his two clones were wielding like sword deities. It did not take long before the forces clashed.
At the instant the collided, it caused another thunderous explosion.
"How powerful! Is this a high-grade Divine Ability?" Duan Ling Tian felt his blood and vital energy churning chaotically after the collision with Zhang Ji's fists. Horror dawned on Duan Ling Tian when he discovered Zhang Ji's energy seemed to have overpowered his energy. At this moment, Zhang Ji was charging toward him again.
Duan Ling Tian did not expect Zhang Ji had mastered a high-grade offensive Divine Ability as well. Moreover, Zhang Ji did not seem afraid to go against his high-grade Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, that he had cast. It did not seem like he was worried about being injured by the Sword Qi.
"His defense is actually so strong?" In the next instant, Duan Ling Tian realized the armor that Zhang Ji formed from his Territory seemed to work very well with his defensive tactic and defensive Divine Ability. For this reason, the sword Qi from the Otherworldly Celestial did not injure him at all.
'No wonder he dares to fight directly with me!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Soon after, he discovered Zhang Ji's attack was drawing closer to him. It was only a foot away from him and would soon land on him.
"Tras.h.!.+" Zhang Ji said disdainfully to Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian instantly felt his vital energy and blood surging. He was extremely furious at this moment that he had forgotten he could transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and use his strong physique to withstand the attack. He was too blinded by his rage at this moment.
Meanwhile, his Spiritual Energy began to get agitated.
Elementary Devouring Tactic!
Soul Attack!
Duan Ling Tian did not know why he was so furious and had even lost his rationality. Although he did not transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, he instinctively cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic and the Soul Attack from his Strange Pupil that he recently mastered.
The Elementary Devouring Tactic was supposed to be able to absorb all energy and this included his opponent's energy. Duan Ling Tian knew about this, but he had not tried using it in this way before.
Based on the information about the Elementary Devouring Tactic, if he used the Elementary Devouring Tactic to absorb another person's energy, there would be a backlash as well. Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian did not dare to use it all this while.

It was only at this moment that he instinctively used the Elementary Devouring Tactic in this way!
The force charging toward him was oppressive and exerted a huge pressure on him.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic, a whirlpool began to appear around him and absorb the menacing force. Soon after, Duan Ling Tian began to experience the backlash.
Since the energy Duan Ling Tian absorbed did not belong to him, it ran amuck in body, causing his organs to be injured. He was in so much pain that he even began to wish that death would come for him.
"You're seeking death!" Zhang Ji was surprised Duan Ling Tian was able to absorb his energy with his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability. However, he quickly discovered he could still control the energy in Duan Ling Tian's body. He sneered as he caused chaos inside Duan Ling Tian's body with that energy.
Swoos.h.!.+
At this moment, a light flashed across Duan Ling Tian's Strange Pupil. The Soul Attack in the form of a dragon shot out and entered Zhang Ji's body before he could even react.
After the Soul Attack entered Zhang Ji's body, it rushed straight towards his soul.
Boom!
Although the Soul Attack was not as strong as Zhang Ji's attack that was at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage soul, it still caused Zhang Ji's soul to tremble for a moment when they collided.
"Soul Attack?" Horror dawned on Zhang Ji. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would still be able to cast a Soul Attack at this moment.
Although the Soul Attack was not particularly powerful, it still managed to make his soul tremble, causing him to be momentarily stunned.
While he was stunned, Zhang Ji lost control of the energy in Duan Ling Tian's body.
"Swallow!" Duan Ling Tian released a burst of energy suddenly and absorbed Zhang Ji's energy completely, converting it into his own energy.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian discovered he had lost a little control of the energy in his body. This was because he had absorbed a huge amount of Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings before this and raised his Sun Saint Energy to the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage before he absorbed Zhang Ji's energy. Duan Ling Tian was filled to the brim with all the energy that he felt like he and his 99 Saint Veins were going to explode.
Duan Ling Tian who was in pain from being filled with too much energy could no longer endure it. He raised his hand and pushed his palm out as he said, "Release!"
The extra energy shot out of his palm immediately as it swept toward Zhang Ji who was standing nearby.
Swoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian had released the energy quickly and without warning. Horror dawned on Zhang Ji as he hurriedly activated his energy that was filled with Devil Qi to block the incoming energy.
Zhang Ji's armor instantly turned even darker.
Boom!
In the next moment, the energy that made Duan Ling Tian feel as though his body was going to explode landed on Zhang Ji, completely shrouding his body.
Bang!
A thunderous noise rang in the air as Zhang Ji was sent flying like an arrow that was shot out. He looked extremely wretched.
Even his black armor had disappeared from his body. It seemed like it had been destroyed by the energy Duan Ling Tian shot out from his palm.
Soon after Zhang Ji was sent flying, he landed on the ground with a crash. After that, he showed no signs of movements.
"He's dead?" Horror dawned on Duan Ling Tian when he saw this.
His fight with Zhang Ji was not a Death Duel. If Zhang Ji died, he would definitely be punished by the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect for breaking its rules.

As for the people present on the scene, all of them had fallen silent in shock. It was so quiet that they could all hear Duan Ling Tian panting.
Barf!
Zhang Ji's body suddenly moved as he turned his head to the side and threw up a huge mouthful of blood.
Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. It was good that Zhang Ji was not dead.
'It was really bad earlier.' When Duan Ling Tian recalled what had happened earlier with Zhang Ji's oppressive energy, he felt a lingering fear.
If he was given a second chance, he would not recklessly absorb Zhang Ji's energy using the Elementary Devouring Tactic. At the very least, he would not absorb the energy as long as it was still under Zhang Ji's control.
"If it was not for the Strange Pupil casting the Soul Attack in time to distract Zhang Ji, I would've been killed by that energy."
"Although I managed to distract Zhang Ji and successfully absorb this energy, it carries the risks of overloading and exploding. I would've died without a corpse if that happens!"
Duan Ling Tian concluded that he did not want to experience something like that ever again in his life! Even the energy that suddenly burst out in the end was terrifying as well. It was on par with the full strength of an ordinary Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, He really did not want to experience it again.
"The energy in my body is completely depleted…" Duan Ling Tian felt the emptiness in his body.
This feeling was somewhat similar to when he first used the Jasper Celestial Sword, and it absorbed all his energy.
'The force earlier is on par with the force I'll be able to exert if I use the Jasper Celestial Sword with all my might. However, I don't think I'm going to resort to that method since I really have no wish to experience this empty feeling again!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief again when he made sure Zhang Ji who was lying on the ground was still breathing. He was not dead nor crippled. He had merely lost consciousness.
"Zhang Ji, from now on, your Secundus house is mine!" Duan Ling Tian used the last ounce of his energy to say after he glanced at Zhang Ji indifferently.
Then, he hurriedly entered the Secundus house that Zhang Ji used to live in and closed the door with a loud bang.
After he entered the room, he sat down and slumped against the wall immediately. He could not even sit without support, let alone stand.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ji who had been woken up by Duan Ling Tian's words was so furious he threw up another mouthful of blood before pa.s.sing out again.
Zhang Ji was pretty unlucky considering the energy that injured him was mostly his own energy. Only a small part of it belonged to Duan Ling Tian.
When the two energies fused together, it wreaked havoc in Duan Ling Tian's body. At the moment when he felt it was about to burst out, the energy had already mutated. He had no choice but to release the tyrannical energy, and it just so happened that Zhang Ji was in his path.
The energy was on par with the full strength of an ordinary Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator had mercilessly destroyed Zhang Ji's layer of defense. Moreover, it even sent him flying and injured him severely.
It was fortunate that Zhang Ji was quite strong and was a Devil Cultivator who specialized in cultivating his body. If he was just an ordinary Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse, he would have died.
After Duan Ling Tian hurriedly entered the Secundus house and Zhang Ji pa.s.sed out, the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples finally regained their senses.
All of them could not help but gasp!
