Chapter 2255 The Three Great Guardian

Duan Ling Tian looked over after he collected the thin Boar-Devil’s Spatial Ring.

The Boar-Devil with a strong build felt fear coursing through his veins and instantly dropped to his knees before he begged for mercy with a trembling voice. “Please spare my life, sir! Please spare my life!”

“Apart from the three chiefs in the Boar-Devil clan, who has the best innate talent?” Duan Ling Tian asked the kneeling Boar-Devil calmly as though he did not just kill the Boar-Devil’s companion.

“Who has the best innate talent?” The kneeling Boar-Devil was stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s question. It seemed as though he did not know how to answer the question.

When Duan Ling Tian saw the lack of response from the Boar-Devil, he narrowed his eyes that were filled with killing intent. “Hmm… Don’t you know the answer?” It did not take long before the killing intent surged out of his body, intimidating the Boar-Devil.

The Boar-Devil quickly regained his senses and shivered in fear. He hurriedly replied, “Yes, sir. I do know! I honestly know!”

“Tell me!” Duan Ling Tian demanded.

“Apart from the three chiefs, the strongest in our tribe are the three Great Guardian Warriors followed by a few talented youngsters…” The Boar-Devil replied without any hesitation. It was as though he knew Duan Ling Tian would kill him without twinking twice if he had hesitated to answer the question. His strength was on par with his companion’s strength after all. However, this powerhouse from the Human-Devil clan had easily killed his friend with just a wave of his hand. He had no doubts this Human-Devil could kill him as easily too. For this reason, he did not dare to run away, he knew he would not be able to escape anyway.

“Three Great Guardian Warriors? Are their innate talents high?” Duan Ling Tian interrupted the Boar-Devil before he could finish speaking. He had heard about the three Great Guardian Warriors while he was in the Human-Devil Saint City, it was no surprise to him when he heard the Boar-Devil said they were the strongest apart from the three chiefs.

The three Great Guardian Warriors’ cultivation bases were at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but they were nowhere close to the peak. They were triplets so they had the gift of telepathy among themselves. Due to this, their strength was quite formidable when they joined forces. They were no ordinary triplets! They were much stronger than ordinary twins or triplets.

If the three Great Guardian Warriors combined forces, even Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of the Great Spirit Palace, who was widely acknowledged as the strongest among those below or at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage might not be a match for them. For this reason, the three Great Guardian Warriors were also known as being invincible among those at or below the Eight Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

“Yes,” the kneeling Boar-Devil with a strong build quickly replied when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s question, “They’re definitely stronger than the other talented youngsters in our clan. Therefore, they’re known as young geniuses in our clan!”

“Young geniuses? They’re actually youngsters?” Duan Ling Tian was surprised. He had heard about how strong the three Great Guardian Warriors were, but he did not know how old they were.

Since Duan Ling Tian had returned to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, he had roughly understood what Devil Clans considered as young. For the Devil Clans, those below the age of 100 were considered young.

Yes,” the Boar-Devil nodded and replied quickly, “The three Great Guardian Warriors are quite young, they’re only about 50 years old!”

50 years old!

“So young?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he heard this. They were only about 50 years old, but they had broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Put hard work aside, without extremely remarkable innate talent, even if Duan Ling Tian continued to devour the essence of others, he still would not be able to achieve something like that in a short time!

Duan Ling Tian began to guess. ‘They must have indigo Innate Spiritual Roots. Moreover, their Innate Spiritual Roots shouldn’t only be light indigo! They might have a dark indigo Innate Spiritual Root, but that’s unlikely…’

When Duan Ling Tian was in Human-Devil Saint City, he learned about the innate talents and Innate Spiritual Roots of the Devil Clans. He discovered there were only a few super-geniuses who possessed a violet Innate Spiritual Root in the history of the Devil Clans. Apart from that, most of these geniuses were pure-blooded humans from the Human- Devil Clan. In order words, there were no known super-geniuses with violet Innate Spiritual Roots in the other Devil Clans apart from the Human-Devil clan.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian concluded that dark indigo Innate Spiritual Roots should be the limit for the Devils from the Devil Clans. He was certain the three Great Guardian Warriors of the Boar-Devil Clan only had normal indigo Innate Spiritual Roots and not dark indigo Innate Spiritual Roots. Still, he was quite surprised by what he had learned.

There are three of them. Even if they only have light indigo Innate Spiritual Roots, I’m certain my Innate Spiritual Roots will turn black after I devour three of their Innate Spiritual Roots!’ Duan Ling Tian felt excited when he thought about this. It seemed as though he could already see his Innate Spiritual Root turning black.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself decisively. ‘These three will be my targets!’ To be precise, his targets were the triplet’s Innate Spiritual Roots.

“Which tribe are the three Great Guardian Warriors from? The Black Boar Tribe? The Thunder Boar Tribe? Or the Red Boar Tribe?” Duan Ling Tian asked in a low voice as he stared at the kneeling Boar-Devil.

It would be rather difficult for Duan Ling Tian to attack them if they belonged to one of these tribes because each tribe had a chief at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Even with his Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, he was not completely certain he would be able to kill a Devil at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He had a high chance of winning only if he could raise his Sun Saint Origin, uninterrupted, to the level of the powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage with the Elementary Devouring Tactic and use the Devilseal Tablet. However, would his opponent give him time to raise his Sun Saint Origin to that level?

Up until now, the only powerhouses at the Ninth Stage of the Saint Celestial whom Duan Ling Tian had met were Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, and Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect.

At that time, the battle between Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin revealed how terrifying the strength of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was. Even until now, Duan Ling Tian still felt chills running up his spine when he thought about the battle. A powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was really strong.

Moreover, Duan Ling Tian knew Tang Xuan and Lang Qian Jin were not considered as the strongest powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. For this reason, he was wary in regards to powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage even though he had gotten stronger and possessed the Devilseal Tablet!

“I can raise my body’s Sun Saint Origin instantly to the Eight Form of the Saint Celestial Stage with the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic… However, with my Sun Saint Origin at that level, even if I use the Devilseal Tablet, I’m not confident I can kill those at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Even if I was given the time to raise my Sun Saint Origin to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, I’m not 100% certain I’ll be able to kill a powerhouse at that level. After all, the Devilseal Tablet is damaged. If the Devilseal Tablet isn’t damaged, I believe I have a high chance of killing Devils at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”

For all these reasons, Duan Ling Tian did not dare to directly confront a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

“They don’t belong to any of the tribes.”

When Duan Ling Tian was worrying about this matter, the kneeling Boar-Devil with a strong build said, “They’re considered as tribe-less in our Boar-Devil Clans…”

“Tribe-less?” A hint of joy could be seen in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes when he heard the Board-Devil’s words.
