<strong>Chapter 2314 The Situation Turned Around </strong>


    Neither Yuwen Hao Chen and Shi Nan Feng, the Pce Masters of Wandering Saint Pce and Great Spirit Pce respectively, knew the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n had arrived so quickly because he was already here for a long time.


    It was only natural that Yuwen Hao Chen and the others who were beneath the Tribtion Clouds were unaware that their patriarch was hiding above the Tribtion Clouds, observing the situation.


    Apart from Duan Ling Tian, Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan, everyone, including Peng Lai, cried out in unison when they heard Yuwen Hao Chen and Shi Nan Feng’s words, “Lord Patriarch!” They bowed at the green-d middle-aged man.


    Apart from Yuwen Hao Chen and Shi Nan Feng, almost everyone on the scene hardly ever saw their patriarch. If the two pce masters did not greet the green-d middle-aged man, they might not even recognize him.


    “Lord Patriarch arrived so quickly!”


    “His speed is really fast! He appeared so quickly as soon as the Violet Ray Bead was used!”


    “Why do I feel like something is wrong? Won’t Lord Patriarch take some time toe over when he sees the light from the Violet Ray Bead? However, he appeared as soon as the Violet Ray Bead was used.”


    The crowd was in shock over the sudden appearance of their patriarch. After all, this was the first time for many of them to see the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n, an Eminent Celestial.


    ...


    At some point, Duan Ling Tian had stopped resting and opened his eyes. His gaze immediatelynded on the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n, studying him.


    The Patriarch of the Human-Devil n was looking at Duan Ling Tian as well. He did not pay attention to Yuwen Hao Chen, Shi Nan Feng, and the others. Instead, he called out to Duan Ling Tian and said in a light tone, “I have to say you’re really lucky to be able to obtain a force from the Devata Realm that’sparable to the Celestial Origin Energy and use it to your advantage!”


    A force from the Devata Realm that wasparable to the Celestial Origin Energy!


    Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard the words of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n. Naturally, he knew the patriarch was referring to the Sun Force in his body that was bestowed to him by the Three-legged Golden Crow, Elder Huo. Previously, Elder Huo had exined to him that the Sun Force was superior to all forces in the mundane realm andparable to the Celestial Origin Energy. Up until then, no one knew about this. However, the patriarch managed to figure out how extraordinary the Sun Force was as soon as he appeared! Moreover, his guess was extremely urate.


    “A force thates from the Devata Realm and isparable to the Celestial Origin Energy?”


    Yuwen Hao Chen, Shi Nan Feng, and the others were also shocked when they heard their patriarch’s words.


    “Did Lord Patriarch just say that Duan Ling Tian’s force isparable to the Celestial Origin Energy?” Many people were skeptical. They thought they had heard wrongly. They looked at each other in confusion as they whispered among themselves.


    “The patriarch said the force that Duan Ling Tian possesses isparable to the Celestial Origin Energy... Is he referring to the technique Duan Ling Tian cast earlier? In other words, the golden ming bird is a force from the Devata Realm?” A Vice Pce Master of Crimson ze Pce blurted out.


    The Patriarch of the Human-Devil n’s next sentences indirectly confirmed the spection of the Vice Pce Master of Crimson ze Pce.


    “I can see that the force that formed the bird isn’t something you obtained through cultivation. If I’m not mistaken, you must have had a fortuitous encounter...” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil n looked at Duan Ling Tian calmly.


    Based on the patriarch’s words, it seemed like he hadpletely figured Duan Ling Tian out. His knowing gaze made Duan Ling Tian feel naked.


    Duan Ling Tian remained silent, but he felt a jolt of fear in his heart. ‘Is this the might of an Eminent Celestial? He’s even able to see through the Sun Force and find out that I obtain it not by cultivating, but by chance!”


    The Sun Force was given to Duan Ling Tian by the Three-legged Golden Crow, Elder Huo. Elder Huo had fused the Sun Force with his Saint Origin. Today was the first time the Sun Force had separated itself from his Saint Origin. For this reason, the force was depleted by half when it helped him ovee the 80th Tribtion Lightning. Since he did not obtain the force through cultivation, once it was depleted, he could no longer recover them.


    The Patriarch of the Human-Devil n was not angry at Duan Ling Tian’sck of response. Instead, he continued talking in a leisurely manner, “Earlier, that force that’sparable to the Celestial Origin Energy formed a golden ming bird and assisted you in oveing the 80th lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion... However, half of that force has been depleted, am I right?”


    When Duan Ling Tian heard this, he could no longer keep calm. He felt a hint of panic begin to rise in his heart. He did not expect the patriarch would be able to see things so clearly. His eyes widened in fear as he looked at the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n. He felt vulnerable. ‘An Eminent Celestial is really terrifying!’


    The Patriarch continued to say confidently, “If I’m not mistaken, it won’t be able to help you ovee the 81st lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion even if you cast all your techniques along with it.”


    Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened because the patriarch had poked at his sore point. This was exactly what he was worried about. The people present on the scene might think he would be able to ovee the 81st lightning bolt with ease simr to how he had ovee the 80th lightning bolt, but he knew his condition very well. Although the Sun Force had returned to his body, he knew it was not enough to help him ovee the 81st lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion!


    When Gan Ru Yan and Peng Lai heard the patriarch’s words and saw the grim expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face, they cried out in unison, “What?”


    Like many others, they had assumed Duan Ling Tian would be able to easily pass the Celestial Ascension Tribtion and be an Eminent Celestial. Little did they know, the situation would turn around again.


    “I thought I’d be able to witness another miracle... Who knows it would be so short-lived!” Peng Lai smiled bitterly.


    “Brother Tian!”


    “Daddy!”


    Ke’er and Duan Si Ling, who had sighed in relief, began to feel worried again.


    Huang Wen Jing turned slightly pale. Her heart seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell. ‘How could this be?’


    Huang Qi Ling felt the same way as well.


    ...


    ‘I see! So Duan Ling Tian oveing the 80th lightning bolt was just hisst struggle! I actually thought he would be able to pass the Celestial Ascension Tribtion!’ Many people thought to themselves.


    Yun Fu Ye and Shi Nan Feng smiled. In fact, most people from the Three Pces and Six Halls were smiling as well.


    “I see!” Yuwen Hao Chen smirked when he looked at Duan Ling Tian again. “Duan Ling Tian, it seems like I’ve overestimated your ability! To think I’ve mistakenly summoned Lord Patriarch here to deal with you. It seems like there’s no need for any of us to make a move. Thest Tribtion Lightning will kill you as it is,” he said mockingly, his spirit bing higher.


    Most people, at this point, realized their patriarch had arrived since a while ago. That must be how he knew so much about the situation.


    ‘How astute! As expected of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n!’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. His current predicament had been cleanly exposed by the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n. At the same time, he turned his head slightly to look at Ke’er and Duan Si Ling. His eyes darted back and forth between the twodies as though he was trying to imprint their appearances into his mind.


    ‘Goodbye...Ke’er and Si Ling. If there’s a next life, I’ll definitely treat both of you better...’ Even if Duan Ling Tian was unwilling to ept his fate, he knew there was nothing he could do about it. Naturally, he did not n to stay idle and wait for death. Even if he was sure to die, he would do his best to fight regardless of how hopelessly strong thest Tribtion Lightning was. He would fight to hisst breath so he would not have any regrets left when he died.
