Chapter 2261 - He’s Human!

When the Devil Clans from the Land of Exile invaded the Lower Province of Dao Martial Saint Land, the Devils would regroup with their respective clans before they claimed a territory. In each territory, there would usually be a place where the population of Devils was the highest. For instance, the Human-Devil Saint City that belonged to the Human- Devil clan was such a place. Many strong powerhouses and forces, Three Palaces and Six Halls, for example, had made a home for themselves in the city.

The Boar-Devil clan was no different. The place with the highest population of Boar-Devils was an extremely huge valley. The three strongest tribes in the Boar-Devil clan had made a home for themselves here.

The three strongest tribes were the Black Boar Tribe, the Thunder Boar Tribe, and the Red Boar Tribe.

The Boar-Devils from the Black Boar Tribe were big in size and were very good at hand-to-hand combats.

Due to their unique constitutions, the Boar-Devils from the Thunder Boar Tribe could summon lightning to assist them even though they were not Dao Cultivators.

The Boar-Devils from the Red Boar Tribe knew the Rampage Technique. When they go on a rampage, they would become extraordinarily strong and their attacks would intensify as well!

The three Patriarchs from the Boar-Devil clan were the chiefs of these three respective tribes.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three ear-piercing sounds shattered the tranquility in the valley where the Boar-Devils gathered. Three figures could be seen flying out from each of the three strongest tribes, the Black Boar Tribe, the Thunder Boar Tribe, and the Red Boar Tribe.

The three figures were making their way to the center of the valley where the main altar was located.

Apart from the Human-Devil clan, the other Devil Clans had their own denomination. Most of them worshiped their ancestors. The Devil Clans would build a main altar that housed carved statues of their ancestors for worship at their territories.

The main altar of the Boar-Devil clan was a spacious sacrificial altar. A figure with a muscular build and a boar head was carved in a lunging pose. One of its hands was holding a trident while the other hand’s forefinger and middle finger pointed at the sky. It looked as though it could conquer the world with just its trident. It was obvious this was the Boar-Devils’ ancestor whom they worshiped.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Wind continued to whistle in the air before three figures appeared above the main altar in just a blink of an eye.

One of the figures had a muscular build and a dark body. Its muscular body seemed to contain explosive strength. It had the body of a human and the head of a boar. The aura it emitted was incredibly oppressive. This was the chief of the Black Boar Tribe and one of the three Patriarchs of the Boar-Devil clan.

The second figure also had a human body and the head of a boar. However, its size was average and it was fair. Upon closer inspection, one would see a violet lightning mark on its glabella. It was also holding a violet staff that was see- through. It was unknown what it was made from. This Boar-Devil was the chief of the Thunder Boar Tribe and also one of the three Patriarchs.

The last figure was plump. Its boar head was fat and its ears were big. It also had small and beady eyes. Its color was similar to the other Boar-Devils compared to the other two Patriarchs. This was chief of the Red Boar Tribe, the third Patriarch of the Boar-Devil clan.

Most of the time, the three Patriarchs would stay in their respective tribes. It was a rare sight for three of them to be seen together.

Currently, three of them had a somber expression on their faces. What happened to cause them to wear such an expression?

“Both of you noticed it as well?” The chief of the Black Boar Tribe asked as soon as three of them gathered.

“I have their Soul Pearls with me. Therefore, I’ll know instantly, providing I’m not in closed-door cultivation, if something happens to them. It seems like it’s the same for both of you,” the chief of the Thunder Boar Tribe responded. The violet staff he held in his hand flashed continuously as though something was brewing in it.

The Old Patriarch has entrusted those three to us. He told us to let them grow freely and not to interfere with their growth but to ensure their safety. I didn’t expect that they would be safe in the Land of Exile but would meet with an accident here!” The chief of the Red Boar Tribe said coldly, “I really want to see who’s so bold as to kill the three grandsons of the Old Patriarch!” He raised his hand as soon as he finished speaking. The air trembled as an invisible force extended out from his hand, carrying with it bits of fragments. Upon closer inspection, one would notice they were the fragments of Soul Pearls. Based on the number of fragments, it was obvious that these were the fragments of more than one Soul Pearl.

“Let me help you!” The chief of the Thunder Boar Tribe said in a low voice and shook his staff. In just an instant, a bolt of violet lightning shot into the statue of the Boar-Devils’ ancestor in the middle of the main altar. The lightning spread before it converged in the statue’s eyes, blindingly bright. Soon after, the eyes of the statue shot out violet lights at the fragments of the Soul Pearls.

Soon after, a mirror image was projected in the sky. Scene after scene flashed before the three Patriarchs’ eyes. These scenes showed the battle between Duan Ling Tian and the three Great Guardian Warriors.

This mirror image was similar to the humans’ Mirror Image Talisman. The Boar-Devil clan used an ancient formation they had inherited to cast this mirror image. That ancient formation was hidden in the statue of their ancestor.

“He’s a Human-Devil!”

The three Patriarchs’ eyes narrowed in unison when they saw Duan Ling Tian.

One of them growled, “Insane! He’s insane!”

“How dare a Human-Devil cause trouble in our territory! Damn it! Damn it!”

“The Human-Devil clan will have to give us a good explanation for this matter!”

The three Patriarchs were furious when they saw Duan Ling Tian.

“No! He doesn’t seem like a match for the Old Patriarch’s three grandsons. Could he have led them away and a group of Human-Devils ambushed them?” The chief of the Black Boar Tribe frowned as he watched Duan Ling Tian ‘escaping’ from the three Great Guardian Warriors.

The other two Patriarchs also shared the same thought when suddenly, the scene changed.

The three Great Guardian Warriors were forced to defend themselves as Duan Ling Tian raised his strength to that of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage with his assist-type Divine Ability.

“This… Could it be that he pretended to be weak in the beginning?”

The scene took the three Patriarchs by surprise.

“He was not pretending to be weak! He was trying to buy time to raise his strength. Look at his Saint Origin that had been increasing from the beginning!”

“He must have cast his assist-type Divine Ability and had to stall for time to raise the strength of his Saint Origin… Moreover, it seems like his Saint Origin isn’t any weaker than our Saint Origin at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”

The three Patriarchs did not take long to figure things out. All of them were astonished by their discovery.

“There’s such an assist-type Divine Ability in this world?”

The Divine Ability isn’t the main point! The main point is when did such a powerhouse appear in the Human-Devil clan?!”

“Although he had to rely on his assist-type Divine Ability, there’s no arguing his strength is comparable to an ordinary powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”

“However… he shouldn’t be able to kill all three of them. After all, those three’s joint defense is so strong that none of us can get through their defense in a short time.”

“That’s right…their defense should be able to last until this person’s assist-type Divine Ability wears off.”

The three Patriarchs were baffled.

The scene continued to change, and the three Patriarchs finally understood how three of the Old Patriarch’s grandsons had been killed by this Human-Devil!

“Devil…Devilseal Tablet?! The Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet?!”

“How can a Human-Devil brat possess the Devilseal Tablet? Even if he’s from the Wandering Saint Palace and is human, he’s still a Devil Cultivator… Both Devils and Devil Cultivators aren’t able to use the Devilseal Tablet!”

“Perhaps, we’re wrong with our initial guess… He might not be a Human-Devil after all. It’s likely that he’s a human from the Saint Province Realm!”

“Human? That’s right! He must be human!”

When the three Patriarchs saw how the three Great Guardian Warriors were killed by the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, their eyes widened in shock.
