Chapter 2216 Human-Devil Clan
The Devil that looked like a young man did not notice that the twin sisters were flown by the purple-clad young man they were standing next to.
Whoosh!
When Duan Ling Tian and the two women appeared in front of the Devil in human form, he did not bother to waste words with the Devil. He instantly executed his plan. He raised his hand and a stone tablet with a missing comer appeared in his hand.
The stone tablet was none other than the extraordinary Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet! The Devilseal Tablet could also be considered as a 10,000 Inscriptions Saint Weapon. However, in terms of strength, it was inferior to an ordinary Saint Weapon. Its strength was its ability to suppress Devils!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
When the Devilseal Tablet appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s hands, it vibrated violently like an excited hunter who had not hunted for a long time. It seemed as though it could sense its prey!
The Devil that looked like a young man paled the moment the Devilseal Tablet appeared. The seemingly unremarkable stone tablet seemed to contain some kind of power that terrified him. It caused fear to rise from the depth of his soul.
“Seal!” Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate as he raised the Devilseal Tablet and struck at the Devil before the Devil regained his senses.
The Devil had no time to react at all.
“It feels like Devilseal Tablet is even more excited when it sensed the Devil compared to when it sensed Devil Cultivators!”
In just an instant, the soul of the Devil was sucked into the Devilseal Tablet. It did not directly destroy the body of the Devil because the Devil was at the First Form of the Saint Celestial. It would take a while before it could destroy the body completely.
“I hope it works…” When the Devil’s soul was devoured by the Devilseal Tablet, Duan Ling Tian moved forward swiftly and appeared next to the Devil’s body. He took the Devil’s Spatial Ring before he coldly studied the body.
Elementary Devouring Tactic!
After Duan Ling Tian cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Spell, he quickly devoured the Devil’s Innate Spiritual Root. “It’s only a yellow Innate Spiritual Root?” He was surprised. After all, in the Upper Province of Dao Martial Saint Land, it was difficult for someone with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root to enter the Quintessential Saint Stage, let alone the Saint Celestial Stage! However, this Devil managed to enter the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
I almost forgot that he’s a Devil… Even if his innate talent is weak, by consuming humans’ blood essence and their own kind’s blood essence, he would still be able to raise his cultivation base in a short time!’ Duan Ling Tian was relieved when he thought of this possibility. His eyes gleamed coldly.
After devouring the Devil’s Innate Spiritual Root, Duan Ling Tian used the Divine Ability, Elementary Devouring Tactic, to execute the crux of his plan. Earlier, when he devoured the Innate Spiritual Root, he had extracted the Devil Qi from the Devil instead of siphoning all the Devil’s power. This was why it had taken him longer than usual to devour the Innate Spiritual Root. Even then, the process only took a few seconds.
Alright, this is the most important step!’ After extracting the Devil Qi from the Devil, Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief. Then, he drew the Devil Qi into his body. However, the Sun Saint Origin instantly rejected the Devil Qi. In the end, he had to move the Devil Qi to other parts of his body so that it would not come in contact with his Sun Saint Origin.
When the powerhouses from the Devil Clans probe me with their Divine Consciousness, they’ll be fooled into thinking I’m one of them when they detect the Devil Qi in my body…’ Duan Ling Tian knew his plan had succeeded. He managed to disguise himself as a Devil.
After a while, Duan Ling Tian discovered something. ‘However, since the Devil Qi doesn’t belong to me, it won’t take long before it’ll be completely depleted. It’ll last for about a month! This should be enough time for me to investigate the situation in the Lower Province and the secret of the city.’ He felt more at ease after he finished thinking about this.
Ke’er and Gan Ru Yan stood in the distance and silently watched Duan Ling Tian’s carrying out his plan. They did not know what was happening. It was not until Duan Ling Tian explained to them that they realized what had happened.
“So, you can use the Devil Qi for your own purpose?” Gan Ru Yan was alarmed by Duan Ling Tian’s method. She did not expect this man who was stronger than her and indifferent toward her would use such a method.
Yes. However, I’m not absorbing the Devil Qi, I’m only temporarily holding it in my body so the stronger Devils won’t find out that I’m human,” Duan Ling Tian explained to her. “Now, all we have to do is search for more victims… We’ll have to capture three more Devils, and I’ll extract their Devil Qi for both of you and Si Ling so we can avoid detection,” Duan Ling Tian said.
Although Duan Ling Tian really despised the idea of impersonating a Devil, he knew the situation called for it. He had no other choice. He could be considered as strong, but it was only inevitable that there were Devils who were much stronger than him. If he wanted to enter the city to uncover the truth, this was the only option he had.
Without the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, I’m like a tiger without its teeth.
Under Elder Huo’s order, both the Universe Ruler and the Jasper Celestial Sword were returned to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda before we were sent back to the Lower Province.’ Duan Ling Tian let out a long sigh when he thought of this. Without the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword, he was definitely not a match for Hao Shuang if he had to face him again. After all, Hao Shuang was a quasi Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse even though his cultivation base was essentially at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware that Elder Huo was following the orders of a strong powerhouse from the Devata Realm and had tricked him into returning the Universe Ruler and the Jasper Celestial Sword to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He had assumed Elder Huo required the power from the Universe Ruler and the Jasper Celestial Sword to defend against Tang Xuan’s attack and to send them back to the Lower Province.
After a while, Duan Ling Tian shook his head and decided not to dwell on this matter. He decided to focus on finding his next victim. It did not take long before he found three victims. Two Devils at the Saint Celestial Stage and one Devil at the Quintessential Saint Stage. He successfully extracted the Devil Qi from the three Devils and placed them in Ke’er, Gan Ru Yan, and his daughter’s bodies.
Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian had also cast the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on the Devil at the Quintessential Saint Stage. He managed to glean valuable information from this Devil.
“As it turns out, it’s not that all Devils are able to shift into human form. These Devils came from a clan where all the Devils have a human appearance!”
Duan Ling Tian, Ke’er, and Gan Ru Yan were shocked when they discovered this.
“Human-Devil Clan… I didn’t expect there would be such a clan among the Devil Clans in the Land of Exile!” Duan Ling Tian sighed softly.
The Human-Devil Clans appeared during the last Human-Devil era. The Devils from this clan were the byproduct of the union between Devils and Devil Cultivators who followed the Devil Clans back to the Land of Exile.
The last Human-Devil Period was more than 100,000 years ago.
For more than 100,000 years, the Human-Devil Clan had formed a large community with the help of their rapid breeding ability. Since they possessed the blood of humans and Devils, they were rejected by other pureblooded Devils. This served to unite them, and in turn, making them grow stronger. In the end, they became one of the strongest Devil Clans in the Land of Exile! However, this did not mean the other Devil Clans did not ostracize them or had acknowledged them.
Since the Human-Devil Clan had grown strong, the other Devil Clans did not dare to look for trouble with them even if they did not approve of them.
Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian also learned about other things. “So the Devil Clans’ invasion in the Dao Martial Saint Land is led by the Ox Devil Clan?” He also learned about the city that he had seen. ‘This city was built by the Human- Devil Clan after they followed the Devil Clans to invade the Dao Martial Saint Land. The city is also the base camp for the Human-Devil Clan in Dao Martial Saint Land! This entire area is the territory of the Human-Devil Clan, that’s why no other Devil Clans could be seen here! The Human-Devil Clan has also established a social hierarchy that’s similar to humans… Among them, the Three Palaces and Six Halls is the strongest!’
Duan Ling Tian continued thinking to himself as he sighed, ‘I didn’t expect that a new breed of Devil that’s similar to humans would appear after the last Human-Devil era!”
Ke’er and Gan Ru Yan felt the same way.
The Human-Devil Clans had human blood so they could be considered as half of their kind.
