At the same time, a flurry of boundless and majestic hurricanes swept burst out from the center of Nangong Chen's fist. It was so strong that the spectators' robes were fluttering as well.
Some of the Five Element Sect's disciples with a lower cultivation base had to retreat, and they had no choice but to squint their eyes.
Wham!
Before the crowd could figure out what happened, they saw Duan Ling Tian who had moved aside earlier suddenly made a lightning-like move before he planted a palm on Nangong Chen's back and sent him flying in the air.
After Nangong Chen was sent flying, his body quivered and with a ”Barf!”, he threw up a mouthful of blood. His face instantly turned ghastly.
Bustle!
The moment the spectators saw this, they erupted in a great commotion.
”Senior Brother Chen didn't notice that Duan Ling Tian had already dodged to the side earlier. He didn't even notice Duan Ling Tian at his back when he snuck up to attack him!”
”Looks like Senior Brother Chen was distracted by Duan Ling Tian's innate ability too!”
”Apparently!”
…
The faces of the group of Five Element Sect's disciples became very solemn immediately.
”D-Did this Duan Ling Tian make a breakthrough?” Tian Gu, the Peak Master of Earth Peak's mouth twitched. Horror could be seen on his face.
Earlier, Duan Ling Tian had used his Spiritual Energy to forge the Illusory Space many times. It was successfully broken away by Nangong Chen's Spiritual Energy every single time.
From the very start, he could feel it very clearly.
However, when Duan Ling Tian forged the Illusory Space earlier using his Spiritual Energy again, his Spiritual Energy could feel that Duan Ling Tian's Spiritual Energy had been elevated to a whole new level.
For this reason, it was impossible for Nangong Chen to notice the Illusory Space that Duan Ling Tian had created, let alone using his own Spiritual Energy to smash it open.
Many other Five Element Sect's elders who were also Inscription Masters had noticed this as well.
As they continued their discussions, the fact that Duan Ling Tian had made his breakthrough started to spread around. Soon enough, everybody knew what was going on earlier.
”Damn it! This Duan Ling Tian actually had a breakthrough?” Hu Fei stared coldly at Duan Ling Tian. His face was extremely dark.
At first, he thought that Duan Ling Tian would be defeated in Nangong Chen's hands. However, to his astonishment, Duan Ling Tian managed to complete his breakthrough during the crucial moment and managed to overpower Nangong Chen in just one swoop.
”What Chen'er was worried about is correct… We really can't treat Duan Ling Tian using common sense!” Guo Chong, the Sect Leader of Five Element Sect, sighed. However, he did not seem unhappy at all.
Although Gold Peak did not manage to obtain the first place in the Battle of the Five Peak this time, it did not seem like it affected him much.
”This Duan Ling Tian is indeed very strong,” Nangong Yi, who was standing by the side, had a very gloomy expression on his face. He furrowed his brows as he continued, ”However, I noticed that when he cast his attack earlier, the amount of energy contained in his Origin Energy does not look like it's in the Eight Level Void Interpretation. It's more or less like mine instead.”
”His cultivation base had only just made a breakthrough to the Seventh Level Void Interpretation. As for his Spiritual Energy, I think it must be a level higher than his cultivation base.” A gleam flashed across Guo Chong's eyes as he muttered, ”If I guessed correctly, he must have consumed a soul enhancing spirit fruit previously. That was the cause of his Spiritual Energy being a level higher than his cultivation base.”
”Ah, so his Spiritual Energy is at the Eighth Level Void Interpretation… No wonder,” Nangong Yi gasped when he heard this.
When Huang Daniu saw how Duan Ling Tian severely injured Nangong Chen and obtained the final victory, Huang Daniu burst out laughing and shouted, ”Haha! Good job, Duan Ling Tian!”
The eyes of Qi Yu, Yang Ling, and Ke Zheng brightened too.
It had never crossed their minds that Duan Ling Tian would be able to complete his breakthrough at the very crucial moment and defeat Nangong Chen in just one blow.
Although they were surprised, they could not stop the joy that they were feeling as well.
At this moment, the injured Nangong Chen was still trapped in the Illusory Space, but he no longer made any move. Instead, he stood in midair as he slowly asked, ”Y-You've made a breakthrough?”
It was apparent that Nangong Chen had also noticed that he had fallen into the Illusory Space.
Duan Ling Tian moved his thoughts and retracted the Thousand Illusions immediately. He looked at Nangong Chen as he replied nonchalantly, ”It's luck.”
After the Illusory Space disappeared, Nangong Chen looked at Duan Ling Tian and announced earnestly, ”Luck or not, you've won!”
After he finished saying that, he did not wait for Duan Ling Tian's reply. Nangong Chen returned to Guo Chong in a flash and bowed to him. ”I'm sorry to disappoint you. Please punish me, Master.”
”You've done your best. It's just that your opponent is too strong this time,” Guo Chong shook his head. His eyes landed on Duan Ling Tian as he smiled, ”Duan Ling Tian, you're very good. With you in Wood Peak, it'll definitely rise again! I'm looking forward to seeing that.”
”You flatter me, Sect Leader,” Duan Ling Tian responded with a smile.
With his current cultivation base, he did not dare to slack before the Sect Leader of Five Element Sect.
”Qi Yu, Wood Peak is really lucky this time!” Guo Chong smiled as he turned his attention to Qi Yu.
The moment Qi Yu heard this, an unusually bright smile appeared on his face.
