Chapter 1902: True Innate Ability!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Earlier, his attention was solely focused on the Sun Saint Energy in his body. Therefore, he had overlooked his soul that had changed into that of a Divine Saint Stage powerhouse. He could also clearly sense that his Spiritual Energy had become stronger.
At this moment, his Spiritual Energy seemed as though it was in a state of restlessness before it charged toward his left eye.
“What’s going on?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he failed to control his Spiritual Energy.
“It’s the Strange Pupil!” Soon after, Duan Ling Tian discovered the cause of it.
His left eye was no longer similar to a human’s eyes. His left eye had merged with the unique eye of a One-eyed Devil Vulture, and he had obtained some extraordinary abilities from it. However, the strength of those abilities depended on the strength of his Spiritual Energy.
As Duan Ling Tian gained more techniques that made him stronger than what he should be at his cultivation base and defeated opponents stronger than him, the Strange Pupil gradually became less and less important. Duan Ling Tian merely used it to look at things in the distance. However, today, something seemed to be happening to the Strange Pupil!
“Hm?”
Without knowing how much time had passed, Duan Ling Tian discovered his left eye growing hot before the uncontrollable and restless Spiritual Energy suddenly disappeared from his left eye.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt as though his left eye was stripped of its ability. What shocked him even more was the Spiritual Energy that had disappeared from his left eye seemed to have fused with his body and the 99 Saint Veins.
Following that, he discovered the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique had begun to circulate on their own. To be more precise, it was the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique that had undergone a transformation in the dragon clan’s Saint Land, the Dragon Cleansing Pool.
However, it was strange because it did not circulate his Saint Energy. Instead, the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique had actually circulated his Spiritual Energy.
“I can do that to my Spiritual Energy?” Duan Ling Tian was dumbfounded. This was his first time seeing his Spiritual Energy being circulated. He did not even hear of such things before this.
“What’s going on? What’s happening?” Duan Ling Tian was confused.
As time passed, Duan Ling Tian could also clearly sense his Spiritual Energy was longer pure as it was circulated by the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique circulated. There seemed to be something else mixed in it. However, due to the uncontrollable state of his Spiritual Energy, he could not discern what it was. Nonetheless, he had a feeling the thing mixed with his Spiritual Energy was not harmful.
He did not know much time had passed. It felt like a century, but it also felt like a mere moment.
After a while, Duan Ling Tian discovered the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique had stopped circulating, and his uncontrollable Spiritual Energy had fused back with his soul. At the moment the Spiritual Energy fused with his soul, Duan Ling Tian felt momentarily displaced… The feeling was similar to an out-of-body experience!
When he regained his senses, he discovered he had regained control of his Spiritual Energy. “The current Spiritual Energy is indeed different… Although it’s the Spiritual Energy of someone at the Divine Saint Stage, there seems to be something else as well. Moreover, it seems to want to merge with the Strange Pupil!” Shortly after, Duan Ling Tian noticed something strange.
Although he had regained control of his Spiritual Energy, it seemed to have a mind of its own. It seemed as though it wanted to surge into his left eye.
In the beginning, Duan Ling Tian tried to stop it. He sighed in relief when he discovered that it was still under his control even though it was in a state of restlessness. He felt better having control over his Spiritual Energy.
‘Why does it have such a strange impulse? Nevermind! Let’s see what will happen after it flows into the Strange Pupil.’ With that thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian controlled the Spiritual Energy and let it surge into his left eye.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian felt anxious during the whole process. After all, not only did he discover that his Spiritual Energy had changed, but it had become strange even to its master!
At the instant when his Spiritual Energy surged into his left eye, he discovered his eye was absorbing his Spiritual Energy like it was absorbing rain after a long drought.
As the Strange Pupil in his left eye absorbed his Spiritual Energy, Duan Ling Tian began to feel a burn in his left eye. It was so hot that he gradually grew numb to it.
At the same time, he had a strong urge to open his left eye.
His left eye seemed to have accumulated some force and was in need of a release.
“What’s going on?” Duan Ling Tian was confused. He had no idea what was happening. However, he still opened both his eyes.
At the instant when he opened his eyes, Duan Ling Tian discovered the sky was beginning to brighten. It was dawn.
“It feels like it’s going to explode!” Duan Ling Tian’s attention returned to his left eye.
“Hm?”
When Duan Ling Tian tried to use his left eye to look at things, he found that not only was everything within his line of sight magnified, but there was even a focus point in the middle.
It was very similar to the feeling of sniper looking through a scope.
‘What’s going on? Why do I feel as though the Spiritual Energy in my left eye wants to be shot out!’ Duan Ling Tian was shocked to discover that as soon as that thought appeared in his mind, the Spiritual Energy in his left eye really shot out.
The Spiritual Energy looked as though it had materialized and took the form of a dragon. The Spiritual Energy was headed for the center of the focus point.
However, since it was aimed at the sky, it was nowhere to be found after it was shot out.
“That shot depleted only half of the accumulated Spiritual Energy…”
Following that, Duan Ling Tian realized that the Spiritual Energy accumulated in the Strange Pupil had more than half left. Moreover, it was slowly increasing again.
His Spiritual Energy kept surging out from his soul to his left eye to replenish the depleted energy in his left eye.
“Spiritual Energy Attack? Soul Attack?” Then, Duan Ling Tian began to suspect the Spiritual Energy that his left eye shot out was a kind of Soul Attack. Moreover, his Soul Attack that took the form of a dragon was extremely extraordinary!
“There’s a fly there…”
Duan Ling Tian’s Strange Pupil was aiming around before it eventually settled on a fly perched on a tree in the distance.
“Shoot!”
With just a thought, Duan Ling Tian’s Strange Pupil shot out Spiritual Energy that took the form of a divine dragon. The Spiritual Energy that was only as large as a needle was aimed at the fly’s head! The aim was terrifyingly accurate!
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness and began to monitor the changes in the fly’s body. His Divine Consciousness could even detect the fly’s weak soul.
However, as soon as his Spiritual Energy pierced the fly’s head, Duan Ling Tian discovered through his Divine Consciousness that the fly’s soul had disappeared without a trace.
Naturally, now that it had lost its soul, the fly had fallen from the tree.
“This is my Soul Attack?”
Duan Ling Tian gasped as he discovered how terrifying his skill was. There was no way to defend against it. He could hardly imagine what would happen if his opponent had attacked him with this skill. Would he even be able to survive?
Back when Duan Ling Tian was still on Cloud Continent, he was already familiar with techniques under the Soul Attack category. For instance, the Thousand Illusions was also a Soul Attack. However, the Thousand Illusions technique was far from being comparable to the technique from his Strange Pupil!
‘I have a feeling if I use the Soul Attack from my Strange Pupil, not even a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage would be able to survive it! Even Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouses will suffer from my Soul Attack if they’re caught off-guard.’ Duan Ling Tian could not help but gasp when he thought of this.
“The situation is different from what I imagined it to be.” At that time, a voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. It shocked the distracted Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian could tell it was Elder Huo. It was as though he had seen his lifesaver when he quickly asked, “Elder Huo, why did my Strange Pupil change so tremendously after I’ve broken through to the Divine Saint Stage?” Following that, Duan Ling Tian recounted everything that had happened.
“Based on your words, there must be a resonance between your Strange Pupil and the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique that had undergone a transformation. It also changed your Spiritual Energy. Your Spiritual Energy that uses your Strange Pupil to cast a Soul Attack should be one of the Soul Attack’s Divine Abilities if I’m not mistaken!” After listening to Duan Ling Tian, Elder Huo said, “You can treat it as your innate ability!”
“Innate ability? Like the innate ability of a peculiar Demon Beast, Saint Beast or a Variant?”
Innate ability. Duan Ling Tian was no stranger to it. He learned about it when he was on Cloud Continent.
“No. Those are nothing more than mere Spiritual Secret Tactics! True innate ability is an actual divine ability. It would be no weaker than a high-grade Divine Ability!” Elder Huo said.
