"The forbidden pill?" Duan Ling Tian's face turned grave immediately when he heard the Saint Land disciples' words and saw Yang Wen consuming the pill.
As soon as Yang Wen swallowed the pill...
BOOM!
A wave of mysterious force surged out of his body and fused perfectly with his Saint Origin before it began to spread out, causing air turbulence and air explosions.
Currently, Yang Wen's strength seemed to have risen greatly compared to before.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, Brother Yun said although Yang Wen's current cultivation base could not be considered as being at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, his Saint Origin is comparable to a powerhouse at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! He doesn't possess any special characteristics exclusive to a powerhouse at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!" Liu Mu's voice rang in Duan Ling Tian's ears the moment Yang Wen consumed the forbidden pill.
'If we only take his Saint Origin into consideration, he's comparable to a powerhouse at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?' Duan Ling Tian's expression turned even graver when he heard Liu Mu's words.
This information came from Liu Yun, a true disciple. For this reason, he did not doubt the authenticity of the statement.
Duan Ling Tian understood why Liu Yun said Yang Wen's current cultivation base could not be considered as being at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Based on what Duan Ling Tian knew, when one had broken through to the Second Form from the First Form, not only would one's Saint Origin become stronger, other characteristics exclusive to a true powerhouse at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would manifest as well.
This was something the forbidden pill was not capable of doing. It could only raise one's strength.
'After he consumed the forbidden pill, his Saint Origin is raised a whole level higher. The forbidden pill he consumed must not be inferior to the one Hong Xu consumed previously!' Duan Ling Tian was certain about this.
Meanwhile, whether it was Nie Zui, the custodian of the Palace of Death, or the three Bronze Flame Elders, they were all surprised by the rise in Yang Wen's strength after he consumed the pill. They did not expect he would have such a high-grade pill in his possession.
"Yang Wen's current Saint Origin has already been raised an entire stage higher! Duan Ling Tian is doomed now!"
"Although Duan Ling Tian's swordplay technique is fast, it's impossible he'd be faster than Yang Wen who had consumed the forbidden pill. He's going to die for sure unless he has other hidden trump cards!"
The three Palace Of Death's Bronze Flame Elders looked at each other as they discussed among themselves. They felt there was no more suspense in today's battle. The outcome was obvious.
Yang Wen was going to defeat Duan Ling Tian and win.
At the same time, at a corner of the area where the seats were, a young Saint Land disciples muttered to himself in shock, "Senior Brother Yang Wen's Saint Origin has risen a whole level!"

"Senior Brother Cha Jin, did you say that Senior Brother Yang Wen's Saint Origin has risen an entire level?" The other Saint Land disciple by his side exclaimed. His tone was filled with shock. "You mean, Senior Brother Yang Wen's current Saint Origin has already reached a stage where it's equivalent to the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?"
This Saint Land disciple did not doubt Senior Brother Cha Jin's words. He was an elite among the Saint Land elite disciples. He already had one foot in the Saint Celestial Stage and was widely acknowledged as the person with the highest chance to become the next true disciple.
Meanwhile, Cha Jin's words spread around and shocked the other Saint Land disciples.
"After Senior Brother Yang Wen consumed the forbidden pill, his Saint Origin has actually risen to the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?"
"Isn't this too strange? It seems like the pill Senior Brother Yang Wen consumed isn't simple for it to raise his strength so greatly!"
"Is it true?"
"Well, Senior Brother Cha Jin said it, so it must be real."
"Senior Brother Cha Jin? He's one of the most promising Saint Land disciples. He has the highest chance to become a true disciple. If he said this, then it must be true!"
The group of Saint Land disciples discussed among themselves. They were shocked by the grade of the forbidden pill that Yang Wen consumed.
The fact that the pill could raise the Saint Origin of a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse so greatly proved that the pill was not just a simple pill.
In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, only a Saint Inscription Master that excelled in Medicine Refinement Dao at the quasi Celestial-grade or above could refine such a pill.
"Senior Brother Yang Wen is indeed the son of the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect. He even has such a precious pill in his possession!"
"The fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect might not have that many high-grade forbidden pills, and Senior Brother Yang Wen has just consumed one of them!"
"He has no choice but to consume it. If Senior Brother Yang Wen doesn't consume it, he's no match for Duan Ling Tian at all!"
"If Duan Ling Tian dies today, he should be proud of himself for being able to force Senior Brother Yang Wen to consume a forbidden pill!"
"That's right! I didn't expect Duan Ling Tian's so strong to the point where he actually forced Senior Brother Yang Wen to consume the forbidden pill!"
The Saint Land disciples seated around the Death Arena discussed among themselves as they sighed emotionally when they thought of Duan Ling Tian's unexpected strength.
...
At this moment, a burst of unbridled laughter rang in the air. It was none other Yang Wen whose strength was greatly boosted after he consumed the forbidden pill.
Yang Wen's laughter was filled with joy and excitement as though it was a joyous occasion.
"Has Yang Wen gone crazy?" Duan Ling Tian frowned. Yang Wen's sudden laughter caught him off guard. He did not know what was happening.
After Yang Wen had consumed the forbidden pill, his killing intent was still as strong as ever. However, his sudden unbridled laughter caused confusion among the people.
"What's going on?!" At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was not the only one who found Yang Wen to be a little strange. Even the other people present on the scene were at a loss.
"W-What's Yang Wen doing?!" Even the Palace Of Death's custodian, Nie Zui, could not help but frown. He did not know why Yang Wen would forget himself and keep laughing for no reason.
The three Bronze Flame Elders from the Palace Of Death had an anxious expression on their faces.
"I've never heard that consuming a forbidden pill would make one go crazy!"
"If Yang Wen goes crazy, doesn't it mean Duan Ling Tian will win? Don't tell me we'll lose all our Contribution Points?!"
"What's going on?"
The three Bronze Flame Elders looked at each other as they spoke worriedly to one another.
They did not care if Yang Wen died. What they cared about was the Contribution Points they bet on Yang Wen since it was no small sum.
Currently, the three Bronze Flame Elders were not the only ones who were about this. The Saint Land disciples seated around the Death Arena had a worried expression on their faces as well as a commotion broke out.
"What happened to Senior Brother Yang Wen?"
"Judging from how he's acting, it doesn't seem like he's lost his cool… It seems more like he has gone crazy."
"Crazy? How's it possible? How could a person who's completely fine go crazy just like that?"
"Perhaps it's because of that forbidden pill? I heard that the aftereffects of a forbidden pill are quite severe…"
"However, the aftereffects shouldn't appear so fast, right? It'll only appear after the medicine efficacy is gone. How could he possibly be affected right now?"
"I don't know."
Many of the Saint Land disciples thought Yang Wen had gone crazy. Otherwise, why would he suddenly laugh continuously at such a crucial moment?
At this moment, Yang Wen should seize the chance to kill Duan Ling Tian while the medicine efficacy was still in effect. In their opinion, Yang Wen was only wasting time now.
If this continued on, the medicine efficacy of the forbidden pill would disappear before he even had a chance to make his move.
"Senior Brother Yang Wen, make your move now!"
"Why are you laughing for no reason? You can laugh after you kill Duan Ling Tian!"
"Make your move now! I placed a bet of 5,000 Contribution Points on you! If it's gone just like that because you've gone crazy, I'm going to curse you 100 times every day even if you die! I'll curse you to become a beast in your next life!"
The Saint Land disciples who placed their bets on Yang Wen began to turn anxious as they called out to him when they saw him laughing for a long time, seemingly having no intention of stopping.
Perhaps, the Saint Land disciples' words had gotten through to Yang Wen as his laughter died down soon after.
At the same time, under the gaze of the crowd, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian before saying, "Duan Ling Tian, I really must thank you for forcing me to consume the forbidden pill! If it wasn't for the fact that I've consumed the forbidden pill, I wouldn't have been able to successfully comprehend the Spear Emperor Genesis!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Spear in his hand as the vast energy from his body merged with it.
When the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Spear was enveloped by his energy, his eyes closed for a moment before he opened them again.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as Yang Wen opened his eyes, the vast energy on his body that had seemingly transformed into a tangible force spread all over the place.
Under the watchful gaze of the crowds, a mountain-like silhouette enveloped Yang Wen.
This silhouette wore a thick armor and had an awe-inspiring appearance. Its hand was gripping a long spear that was hundreds of meters long.
Standing right there, while holding onto its spear horizontally, it gave off an intense pressure.
"This is…" Duan Ling Tian was reminded of Hong Xu when he saw this.
During his battle with Hong Xu, he seemed to have cast a Divine Ability called the Saber King Ingress.
Currently, the Divine Ability that Yang Wen had cast seemed to be called the Spear Emperor Genesis or something.
This was not the main point. The main point was Duan Ling Tian could clearly sense the Divine Ability Yang Wen cast was on a completely different level from the Divine Ability that Hong Xu had cast previously.
'A high-grade offensive Divine Ability?!' Duan Ling Tian realized it was a high-grade offensive Divine Ability!"
