4201 Duan Ling Tian’s Speculation

‘They… Did they decide to join forces?’

The imminent Supreme God felt fear rise in his heart when he thought about this. Still feeling slightly skeptical, he continued thinking, ‘However, although Duan Ling Tian is stronger than me, someone like Lang Chun Yuan should disdain to join forces with Duan Ling Tian, right? Unless… Duan Ling Tian helped her kill the other two demon beasts…’

The imminent Supreme God was aware that someone had been fighting fiercely with the nine demon beasts for several days previously. He also heard that not long after Duan Ling Tian arrived, two of the nine demon beasts died while the others were defeated.

‘However, even if they agreed to work together… it’ll only be temporary, right? Lang Chun Yuan won’t let him go in the end…’

With this thought in mind, the imminent Supreme God felt slightly better. His eyes gleamed coldly as he shifted them back to Duan Ling Tian before he said, “Duan Ling Tian, alliances in the canyon are temporary most of the time. Do you think you’ll be able to live after we die? How ridiculous.”

At this moment, the two imminent Supreme Gods were certain that Duan Ling Tian would die after them.

The injured Emperors of Gods felt the same way as well.

“Although we can’t escape death today, we’ll die in peace knowing that a prodigy like Duan Ling Tian will accompany us in our deaths!”

“That’s right! Duan Ling Tian, we won’t be lonely in the afterlife since you’ll be accompanying us!”

“Duan Ling Tian, you won’t be the final winner, after all!”

These people knew they were going to die. Even if Lang Chun Yuan could not kill them due to the rule, she could make Duan Ling Tian or use the seven demon beasts to kill them. Perhaps, that was the reason she spared Duan Ling Tian and the seven demon beasts until now instead of killing them.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly stunned when he heard those words. When he recovered, he could not help but laugh before he asked, “All of you think that I’ll die?”

Lang Chun Yuan smiled contemptuously as she said, “Fools! He’s my junior brother, my only junior brother. I cherish him and care about him. Why would I kill him? Do you know why I dealt with those three rudimentary Supreme Gods first instead of killing all of you first? It’s because they wanted to kill my junior brother!” After a beat, she added, “All of you are really foolish!”

The two imminent Supreme Gods and the Emperors of Gods from the three Divine Kingdoms were shocked and speechless upon hearing Lang Chun Yuan’s words.

“How’s this possible?!”

“Duan Ling Tian is Lang Chun Yuan’s junior brother?”

“They’re representing different Divine Kingdoms, right? How’s this possible?”

None of them expected this at all. It was beyond their imaginations that Lang Chun Yuan and Duan Ling Tian had such a relationship. With this revelation, they realized how absurd their previous thoughts were. How could Duan Ling Tian die? Or more accurately, how could Lang Chun Yuan kill Duan Ling Tian?

After a moment, an advanced Emperor of Gods suddenly shouted, “Kill him! Let’s drag him down with us!”

Following that, the advanced Emperor of Gods flew toward Duan Ling Tian, disregarding his injuries. His eyes were bloodshot as he desperately attacked Duan Ling Tian.

With just a strike of his sword, Duan Ling Tian easily killed the advanced Emperor of Gods. Then, he said indifferently, “An injured advanced Emperor of Gods thought he could kill me? Even if the two imminent Supreme Gods and all of you injured people join forces, you still won’t be able to kill me.”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell, Lang Chun Yuan scoffed before she said, “A group of nobodies like you dares to target my junior brother?”

Without waiting for a reply, Lang Chun Yuan attacked immediately. A terrifying destructive energy swept out, injuring the two imminent Supreme Gods.

As soon as the two imminent Supreme Gods’ expressions changed, Duan Ling Tian made a move as well.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian’s movements were graceful as he flew toward the imminent Supremer Gods and Emperors of Gods. He was like a wolf charging toward a flock of sheep.

At the same time, seven-colored sword rays shot out, killing an Emperor of Gods each time Duan Ling Tian attacked.

The two imminent Supreme Gods, who were just injured by Lang Chun Yuan, were powerless against Duan Ling Tian.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Duan Ling Tian killed the two imminent Supreme Gods and Emperors of Gods.

Beams after beams of light shone down on Duan Ling Tian from the sky.

Duan Ling Tian, who had felt distressed about the rewards he had wasted earlier, easily regained more than what he had used earlier. A smile bloomed on his face immediately.

After a while, Lang Chun Yuan said, “Junior brother, you should continue healing your injuries. After that, you can kill the demon beasts. It’s said that if one passes the ultimate test in Destiny Canyon, one will be handsomely rewarded by the God of Creation. I wonder if you and I will become advanced Emperor of Gods and intermediate Supreme God respectively after we receive the reward?”

The corners of Duan Ling Tian’s mouth twitched when he heard Lang Chun Yuan’s words. Then, he said, “Fourth Senior Sister, don’t you think you’re being too greedy? You’re thinking about becoming an intermediate Supreme God when you’ve just become a rudimentary Supreme God not too long ago.”

Despite those words, Duan Ling Tian could not help but wonder if there was a chance he could break through the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods as well.

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian sat cross-legged and began to heal his injuries again. At the same time, after thinking about it for a while, he finally concluded that it was impossible for him to become an advanced Emperor of Gods so soon. He could already be considered very lucky if his progress reached the halfway point of a breakthrough.

In any case, these were just speculations. Duan Ling Tian did not even know what kind of reward the supreme powerhouses would give for killing the demon beasts.

The more Duan Ling Tian thought about how supreme powerhouses were able to raise other people’s strength so greatly, the more terrified he was of them. He wondered if they created the rewards as well. If so, their descendants must be terrifyingly strong as well.

After thinking about it for a while, although he was not certain, he felt that there had to be a limit to the supreme powerhouses’ help. Otherwise, the members of the forces with connections to supreme powerhouses in the Devata Realms would have long been sent to the Realms of Gods by the supreme powerhouses to enter places like the Realm Battlefield and the Trial of Gods.

‘If there are restrictions, I wonder what kind of restrictions they are…’

Duan Ling Tian grew more and more curious about the rewards in general. After all, unlike the Trial of Gods, one would not be rewarded for killing in the Realms of Gods.

‘I can’t figure it out. It’s too confusing. Perhaps, I’ll be fortunate enough to meet a supreme powerhouse willing to answer my questions in the future. At that time, I’ll be able to ask about the rewards. I’m sure the answer won’t be simple. I also wonder why the Realms of Gods don’t have such a system…’

Duan Ling Tian was aware that the reward system existed in three places even if the system was different in each place. The three places were the Realm of Battlefield, the Trial of Gods, and the Supreme Powerhouse Relic like the one owned by the Inner Palace faction of the Myriad Laws Academy. At least, these were the places that he was aware of.

Since the reward system did not exist in the Realms of Gods, Duan Ling Tian theorized that there were limits to how much the supreme powerhouses could help cultivators.

‘Forget it. Let’s not think about it anymore. It’s useless to think about these things now. It’s better for me to focus on growing stronger! I’ll naturally have the answer to these questions when I become a supreme powerhouse in the future…’

Duan Ling Tian had never doubted that he would become a supreme powerhouse in the future. He had to become a supreme powerhouse no matter what. Perhaps, he would finally be able to relax at that time.

In the past, Duan Ling Tian was not so ambitious. After taking Ke’er away from the Divine Offering Land, he planned to bring his wives, children, parents, and close friends to live in seclusion. However, as he spent more time in the Realm of Gods, he experienced the mysterious power of the supreme powerhouses. This made him feel insecure; it was as though he would never be safe if he did not become a supreme powerhouse. He thought that by becoming a supreme powerhouse, he would truly be able to protect his loved ones.

…

Outside of Destiny Canyon.

Two spatial tears appeared in the air at almost the same time. Following that, two figures were pushed out by a huge force.

The Lords of the various Divine Kingdoms, who were resting, cultivating, and chatting just a moment ago, turned to look at them in unison.

When the Lord of the Rameau Divine Kingdom saw one of the figures, his eyes lit up as he asked excitedly, “Yu Lin, you broke through?”

Soon after, the Lord of another Divine Kingdom exclaimed in surprise, “Mansion Master Han, you entered the realm of a Supreme God?”

Unlike the two happy Lords, the remaining 23 Lords of the Divine Kingdoms frowned slightly. They were aware that the duo’s breakthrough meant that the duo obtained two of the six Earth Flaming Buddha Lotuses in Destiny Canyon. Without the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotuses, they knew it would be impossible for the duo to become a Supreme God due to them reaching their limits.

For example, He Yu Lin and the other rudimentary Supreme God could survive their Heavenly Tribulations for another three or four thousand at most before he died.

At the same time, the duo wore dark expressions on their faces. After all, they were forced to leave Destiny Canyon.

Seeing the duo’s sour expressions, a few of the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms raised an eyebrow curiously.

“What’s the matter?”

He Yu Lin looked at the Lord of the Rameau Divine Kingdom and said bitterly, “Lord, at least half the participants from our Rameau Divine Kingdom died…”

He Yu Lin did not say that his estimate was rather conservative.

Upon hearing He Yu Lin’s words, the expression of the Lord of the Rameau Divine Kingdom changed immediately.
