Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In less than a day, Duan Ling Tian had already died once. Only at the moment of his death did he regain clarity. He chided himself inwardly for being too careless and letting his guard down. How could he be distracted when he was being chased by an advanced Emperor of Gods? If he was not distracted, his opponent might not be able to catch up to him even if he was an advanced Emperor of Gods. In turn, he would not have died.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned solemn. He could not allow himself to get distracted again and waste this chance.
‘I can’t let myself be distracted! Even if everything looks real, it’s just an illusion! I have to keep my guard up!’
Duan Ling Tian seemed to have calmed down a lot after dying once. At the very least, his earlier death was not in vain. It made him come to his senses. The most important thing now was to survive and to stay here for a long time. After all, the longer he stayed here, the more he would gain. If he was sent out too quickly, he would waste this golden opportunity that had been given to him.
“Junior brother? What’s wrong?” Yang Yu Chen, who was standing near the gates of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Palace, frowned in confusion when he saw Duan Ling Tian teleporting away and staring at him vigilantly.
!!
Duan Ling Tian sneered. His true body was in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic, but his doppelganger was currently in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Clearly, everything before him was an illusion. After a moment, he smiled and said calmly, “Third Senior Brother, I have something to do so I’ll take my leave first.”
However, just as Duan Ling Tian was about to leave, a figure suddenly flew over to the gates of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. It was none other than the black-clad man again. He said coldly, “Duan Ling Tian, it seems that the lesson I taught you previously isn’t enough. You actually dare to return to this place with your true body. I’m going to kill you today.”
As soon as his voice fell, the black-clad man did not hesitate and rushed toward Duan Ling Tian domineeringly.
At the same time, a scoff rang in the air.
“How dare a mere advanced Emperor of Gods talks about killing my junior brother in front of me?”
The black-clad man came to a sudden halt and spun around. His voice trembled as he exclaimed, “Y-Yang Yu Chen, the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy? Intermediate Supreme Gods?!”
Following that, Duan Ling Tian watched as the black-clad trembled in fear before Yang Yu Chen killed him with just a strike. In front of Yang Yu Chen, the black-clad man was as helpless as a newborn baby.
After killing the black-clad man, Yang Yu Chen collected the black-clad man’s spatial ring and motioned to Duan Ling Tian to come closer as he said, “Junior brother, claim ownership of this ring. See if there’s evidence that points to the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. If there is, I’ll bring you to the congregation to seek justice.”
Although Duan Ling Tian knew everything was just an illusion, he still could not help but feel a burst of joy when Yang Yu Chen killed the black-clad man. However, when Yang Yu Chen motioned him to go over, he looked at Yang Yu Chen vigilantly. He said, “There’s no need for that. You can look for evidence yourself. I’m not as familiar with the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation compared to you.”
While Yang Yu Chen looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of anticipation, Duan Ling Tian did not wait for Yang Yu Chen’s reply and hurriedly used the Double Teleportation Profundity. However, when he reappeared, he felt a wave of energy above him before a beam of light fell from above.
‘It’s over!’ Duan Ling Tian complained inwardly, ‘How can I continue staying here like this? I ran away as fast as I could, and yet, I’m still going to die!’
However, after a moment, Duan Ling Tian discovered that even after the beam of light fell on him, he did not die. The beam of light did not seem to be hostile. On the contrary, it seemed to be helping him. It felt as though the beam of light was purifying his soul. The bottleneck he had encountered when he was comprehending the Mastery Dao seemed to be loosening at this time.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up immediately. ‘This has to be the thing that’ll help me further my comprehension of the Mastery Dao as Third Senior Brother said. I didn’t expect it to literally fall from the sky! Does this mean I passed a level earlier and I’m being rewarded now?’
After taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian soon discovered that his surroundings had changed again. He found himself in a palace and felt slightly puzzled. He was rather certain he had never seen such a palace before.
After a moment, a young man appeared in the distance, staring at him.
As soon as the young man appeared, Duan Ling Tian’s expression soured immediately. His eyes burned with flames of fury as well. The young man was none other than Yun Qing Yan, a direct descendant of the Yun clan, a prime supreme-rank force in the Divine Offering Land. He was the son of the Clan Leader of the Yun clan so he had a high status in the Yun clan.
Duan Ling Tian had learned about this after he was reunited with his family and friends, who escaped the Divine Offering Land with Xia Jie’s help.
At this time, Yun Qing Yan said lazily and mockingly, “Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect to meet you here. I can’t believe the trash I trampled under my feet previously actually came to the Divine Offering Land. However, it doesn’t matter. Do you think you’re a match for me? Do you think you’re a match for the Yun clan?”
Duan Ling Tian’s expression continued to darken as Yun Qing Yan continued to say, “Duan Ling Tian, since you’re just an intermediate Lord of Gods, I won’t bully you. I’ll suppress my cultivation base to the realm of an intermediate Lord of Gods as well. If I can’t kill you, I’ll let you leave with your life intact. What do you think?”
Duan Ling Tian calmed himself down. ‘Don’t be angry. It’s useless. This is all an illusion. How can I be in the Divine Offering Land? I’m in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic to improve my strength. I came to seek a fortuitous encounter not to seek revenge. Seeking revenge from a fake Yun Qing Yan is meaningless. Let’s look for a way out…’
Duan Ling Tian quietly sensed his surroundings with his Divine Consciousness. However, he soon discovered that there was no way for him to leave this place. Apart from that, in the entire place, there were only him and Yun Qing Yan.
‘He said he’ll suppress his cultivation base to that of an intermediate Lord of Gods… Does this mean to pass this level and leave, I have to defeat or kill him? Then, according to the previous trend, I’ll also be rewarded?’
Duan Ling Tian sensed his surroundings again. After confirming again that there was no way to leave, he did not hesitate anymore.
At this time, Yun Qing Yan said with a sneer, “What? Duan Ling Tian, are you too afraid to fight me even though I’ve already suppressed my cultivation base to that of an intermediate Lord of Gods? As expected, trash like you is not worthy of my cousin!”
Duan Ling Tian did not pay attention to Yun Qing Yan’s derisive words. He thought to himself, ‘I’ve been dreaming about defeating and killing Yun Qing Yan for a long time. Although the one in front of me is just an illusion, this is a good time to vent my frustrations. Moreover, he said he’ll suppress his cultivation base to that of an intermediate Lord of Gods. As such, even if he’s a prodigy, what is there to fear?’
Duan Ling Tian was very confident of his strength as an intermediate Lord of Gods. After all, he was the champion of the Seven Mansions Feast. His strength, innate talent, and comprehension skills were comparable to the prodigies from the heavyweight supreme-rank forces, who were advanced Lords of Gods.
Perhaps, if Yun Qing Yan only suppressed his cultivation base to that of an advanced Lord of Gods, Duan Ling Tian would feel slightly worried about passing this level. However, he was not worried at all if Yun Qing Yan suppressed his cultivation base to that of an intermediate Lord of Gods.
Following that, Duan Ling Tian looked at Yun Qing Yan as though he was looking at a dead man as he said tonelessly, “Yun Qing Yan, you must die today.”
“Oh, I was going to say the same to you,” Yun Qing Yan said with a hint of contempt, “If you die, my cousin will have to give up on you. When the spatial passages between the realms reopen, I’ll capture your family again. With that, I don’t have to worry about my cousin refusing to marry me.”
Yun Qing Yan’s words were like the fuse that ignited the bomb.
Boom!
Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Energy, which he had already mobilized, burst forth from his body violently. He stared at Yun Qing Yan murderously as a spatial storm raged around him. Following that, a sword shining dazzlingly with colorful lights appeared in his hand. It was none other than the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
As soon as the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword appeared, a figure dressed in a colorful robe emerged from his Little World.
“Master.”
The newcomer was none other than Huang’er, the artifact soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
