Chapter
Meanwhile, Duan Ru Feng discovered the Saint Devil Puppet he had summoned was no longer strong enough to fight Li An.
Since Li An had taken out the Asura Saber, his strength had increased by a level. His current strength was comparable to ordinary powerhouses at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! On the other hand, the Saint Devil Puppet that Duan Ru Feng had summoned only had strength on par with powerhouses at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. There was a wide gap between their strength. Although Duan Ru Feng could control the Saint Devil Puppet as he pleased, he was still inferior to Li An who wielded the Asura Saber!
'It seems like I have no choice but to use that technique.' Duan Ru Feng recalled a forbidden secret tactic from Black Nether's memory when faced with Li An. The secret tactic was slightly similar to an a.s.sist-type Divine Ability.
However, the after-effects of this forbidden secret tactic were extremely harsh. If it was not because this was a life or death situation, Duan Ru Feng would not have used this tactic. The price he had to pay would be very high.
Based on the current situation, Duan Ru Feng was as good as dead. If he continued to hesitate, he would definitely be killed by Li An's saber.
'I thought summoning the Saint Devil Puppet would be enough to kill Li An. I can't believe he managed to obtain the Asura Saber, one of the Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking!' Duan Ru Feng was annoyed when he thought about this. He was unwilling to use the forbidden secret tactic if he had a choice.
Rumble!
At the moment Duan Ru Feng was about to cast the forbidden secret tactic, a thunderous sound resonated in the sky.
In the next moment, a huge black shadow covered the sky and the sun. Wind blew violently as loud noises continued to resonate in the air.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Meanwhile, b.l.o.o.d.y saber ray shot out of the Asura Saber that Li An wielded. The b.l.o.o.d.y saber ray was targeted at the Saint Devil Puppet. At this moment, Duan Ru Feng was still in the head of the Saint Devil Puppet. Li An had discovered this using his Divine Consciousness.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, a black mountain-sized object descended from the sky and intercepted the b.l.o.o.d.y saber ray before they landed on the head of the Saint Devil Puppet at the critical moment. It set off a series of explosions.
The b.l.o.o.d.y saber ray was destroyed by the gigantic black object before it shrank to the size of an adult's fist.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover it was a stamp seal. The bottom of the stamp seal was flat, but the upper part was carved into various shapes of mountain peaks. There were about 10,000 mountain peaks carved on the stamp seal.
"The 10,000 Mountains Seal?!" Duan Ru Feng was shocked when he saw the stamp seal. He instantly dismissed the idea of using the forbidden secret tactic.
There was information about the 10,000 Mountains Seal in Black Nether's memory as well. The 10,000 Mountains Seal was also one of the great Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking. It was ranked in the top three among the ten great Super Saint Weapons.

Apart from possessing a strong attack force, it could shrink and grow as it pleased. For example, earlier it was as huge as a mountain when it descended from the sky, blocking the sky and the sun.
Duan Ru Feng did not expect that apart from being able to see the Asura Saber, he was also able to see the 10,000 Mountains Seal that was ranked on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Ranking as well! The 10,000 Mountains Seal was ranked a lot higher in comparison to the Asura Saber on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking.
Since Duan Ru Feng recognized the 10,000 Mountains Seal, as the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect's Silver Flame Elder, it was only natural that Li An recognized it as well. His eyes widened in shock when he saw it. After a while, his eyes shone with greed. "The 10,000 Mountains Seal!"
The 10,000 Mountains Seal was much more powerful than the Super Saint Weapon, the Asura Saber! It was ranked in the top three of the Ten Great Saint Weapon Ranking after all.
Whoos.h.!.+
Li An did not hesitate as he moved at lightning speed to try and s.n.a.t.c.h the 10,000 Mountains Seal floating near him! However, he failed to get his hands on the stamp seal. Before he could even touch the 10,000 Mountains Seal, it disappeared in just a blink of an eye.
Whoos.h.!.+
When it appeared again, it was in the hands of a young man dressed in black who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
The black-clad young man had an aloof and wicked appearance. He held the 10,000 Mountains Seal as he looked at Duan Ru Feng, completely ignoring Li An. To be more precise, he was looking at the Saint Devil Puppet that Duan Ru Feng controlled.
"Duan Ru Feng, do you know what you're doing?" The black-clad young man had a grim expression on his face as he looked at the Saint Devil Puppet.
"Dugu!" Duan Ru Feng was surprised when he saw the black-clad young man. Based on his tone, it was obvious he did not expect the 10,000 Mountains Seal to be in the possession of the black-clad young man.
"It's Leader Dugu from the Mountainshade Black Market!" Rong Yuan was momentarily stunned when he saw the black-clad young man. He was baffled. He was no stranger to the black-clad young man.
The black-clad young man was none other than Leader Dugu from the quasi third-rate force, the Mountainshade Black Market. He was the only person in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land who could rival the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.
Rong Yuan did not expect to see Dugu here. Moreover, based on the strength he had demonstrated earlier, it seemed like he was not any weaker than the Saint Devil Puppet his Mansion Master had summoned.
"Duan Ru Feng, I'm asking if you know what you're doing?" Dugu asked coldly. It was as though he would not relent until he obtained the answer to his question.
"I know what I'm doing," Duan Ru Feng who was inside the Saint Devil Puppet responded to Dugu, "I know I risk rupturing the s.p.a.ce barrier between our Realm and the Land of Exile by doing this, but I have no choice. If I don't summon the Saint Devil Puppet from the Land of Exile, I'm no match for this Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect's elder. The Devil Clan's legacy that I cultivate is different from yours. You might not need to rely on the Saint Devil Puppet, but I do!" Duan Ru Feng's tone brooked no argument.
Based on Duan Ru Feng's words, one could tell both him and the Mountainshade Black Market's Leader Dugu had obtained legacies from the Devil Clan even though they might be different.
The Devil Clan referred to real devils who came from the Land of Exile. They were all monstrously powerful. Ordinary humans could not compare to them. Devil Cultivators were people who had obtained the Devil Clan's legacies. During the Human-Devil Era, one could easily obtain legacies from the Devil Clan. However, as time pa.s.sed, the present Devil Cultivators were only able to obtain legacies left behind by other Devil Cultivators. The legacies from the Devil Clan had gradually disappeared.
Naturally, there were some Devil Cultivators who managed to obtain the legacies from the Devil Clan that was left from the Human-Devil Era. Black Nether was someone who managed to obtain a legacy from the Devil Clan. Through that, Duan Ru Feng managed to obtain the legacy from the Devil Clan as well.
Leader Dugu from the Mountainshade Black Market had also obtained a legacy from the Devil Clan.
When both of these people who had obtained legacies from the Devil Clan met, they sensed a familiarity in each other. For this reason, they became rivals, continuously competing with each other until now.
The legacies they obtained were, naturally, different. The legacy Duan Ru Feng obtained was related to the Saint Devil Puppet. He was able to summon a Saint Devil Puppet from the Saint Devil Altar in the Land of Exile. The strength of the Saint Devil Puppet could even be as strong as someone who was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Based on this, one could see how rare and valuable the legacy that Duan Ru Feng had obtained through Black Nether.
Since the Saint Devil Pupper was summoned from a different realm, it would naturally cause instability in the two realms when it was summoned. Moreover, it also carried the risk of causing a tear in the s.p.a.ce barrier or even rupturing it. If the s.p.a.ce barrier ruptured, the devils from the Land of Exile would be able to enter the Dao Martial Saint Land similar to the time during the Human-Devil Era!
For this reason, Dugu was persistent when he asked Duan Ru Feng if he knew what he was doing. By summoning the Saint Devil Puppet, Duan Ru Feng might be guilty of letting the devils in from the Land of Exile if the s.p.a.ce barrier had ruptured.
"The Devil Clan's legacy?" Upon hearing Duan Ru Feng's words, Li An could not help but narrow his eyes. He had a baffled expression on his face. Naturally, he knew what Devil Clan's legacies were.
'So he obtained a legacy from the Devil Clan. No wonder he's able to summon a Saint Devil Puppet from the Saint Devil Altar in the Land of Exile!' Li An managed to figure things out at this moment.
The baffled expression on Li An's face gradually faded away. All of a sudden, his expression changed again as though he had noticed something. He noticed the black-clad young man who was holding the 10,000 Mountains Seal had turned to look at him intently. His eyes were cold and filled with killing intent.
"Thank you, Dugu."
When Li An heard Duan Ru Feng's words, his expression changed again.
