Chapter 3358: Duan Ling Tian Becomes a Ten Directions Celestial Lord
In just a blink of an eye, a few decades had pa.s.sed. A few decades were not long to Celestials in Devata Realms, but to someone who had ascended roughly 200 years ago, a few decades felt like a long time.
In a stone forest under a gloomy sky, a figure shot out from behind a huge boulder and flew up into the sky. The figure looked at the sky and murmured to himself, “30 years pa.s.sed in just a blink of an eye…”
The figure belonged to a handsome young man dressed in a purple robe. His eyebrows that lent him a valiant air framed a pair of eyes that flashed with nostalgia. However, in just a moment, his eyes shone icily as though he had just recalled his enemy.
At this moment, a peerless beauty appeared next to him and hugged his arm before she asked in a low voice, “Brother Ling Tian, are you thinking about Sister Ke’er, Sister Fei’er, and Sister Tian Wu?”
Duan Ling Tian recovered from his dazed state and asked with a faint smile, “Huan’er, why did you come out?”
“I followed you here when I saw you stopped cultivating. Brother Ling Tian, did you already break through and become a Ten Directions Celestial Lord?” Huan’er asked.
Recently, Little Gold and Huan’er had broken through and become Ten Directions Celestial Lords after one another. Duan Ling Tian was the only one who had yet to become a Ten Directions Celestial Lords since his cultivation base was lower than the two of them when they started cultivating.
Duan Ling Tian nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, I’ve just broken through…”
During the past few decades, apart from cultivating, Duan Ling Tian had continued searching for people to eliminate once he ran out of Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills. This was so he could acc.u.mulate enough points to exchange for a chance to enter secret zones to obtain more Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills. During that time, he had encountered a few people who possessed Divine Elements. Fortunately, the strongest person he encountered only possessed a sixth-form Divine Element. He had yet to meet anyone who possessed a seventh-form or an eighth-form Divine Element.
Since Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Elements managed to devour sixth-form Divine Elements respectively, all his Divine Elements, except for the Chaos Divine Earth, had evolved to seventh-form Divine Elements. Moreover, for the Chaos Divine Flame that had devoured a sixth-form Chaos Divine Flame and several fifth-form Chaos Divine Flames were close to evolving to its eighth form.
“Brother Ling Tian, Huan’er,” Little Gold called out after she emerged from the stone forest. Her eyes were bright when she overheard Duan Ling Tian was now a Ten Directions Celestial Lord. She moved next to Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er before she asked, “Brother Ling Tian, are we going to leave the Purgatory Battlefield now or are we only leaving once we become Celestial Emperors?”
None of them were interested in rising in ranks or obtaining a t.i.tle in the Purgatory Battlefield. Their main purpose was to obtain the treasures here to quickly become Celestial Emperors. Little Gold had only asked this question because now that all of them have become Ten Directions Celestial Lords, with Huan’er and her close to becoming a Celestial Emperor, it would not be long before they were transported out of the Purgatory Battlefield. After all, the Purgatory Battlefield was only open to Celestial Lords.
“Let’s stay a little longer,” Duan Ling Tian replied as his eyes glinted, “I’ve only just become a Ten Directions Celestial Lord… Who knows if I might be able to find higher grade Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills to raise my cultivation base if we stay a little longer?”
Duan Ling Tian was not lying to Little Gold. However, his main purpose of staying a little longer was due to the Five Divine Elements.
Apart from the Chaos Divine Earth, the other Divine Elements had transformed into their seventh forms. If Duan Ling Tian stayed in the Purgatory Battlefield, his Five Divine Elements could continue to increase their strengths.
After evolving, Duan Ling Tian recalled the World Cleansing Divine Water saying that if they joined forces, they had nothing to fear even if they encountered eight-form Divine Elements. For this reason, he wanted to stay a little longer so his Five Divine Elements could continue to increase their strengths.
Currently, after breaking another point limit, Duan Ling Tian was a level-six Commander. If he broke another point limit, he would become a level-seven Commander. Up until now, there were only two level-seven Commanders in the Purgatory Battlefield, and he had yet to meet any of them.
The strongest opponents he had met so far were two level-six Commanders whose Divine Elements he had absorbed. One of them was a top Celestial Beast like Little Gold who possessed a sixth-form Profound Divine Metal and a Divine Artifact. Apart from Duan Ling Tian, there were very few people who were a match for him in the Purgatory Battlefield. The other person was a Divine Beast like Huan’er who possessed a Divine Artifact and a fifth-form World Cleansing Divine Water. Although he was strong, he was still killed by Duan Ling Tian. After killing the top Celestial Beast and the Divine Beast, not only did Duan Ling Tian gained many military merit points, his opponents’ Divine Artifacts, and Divine Elements, but he also obtained many things that boosted Huan’er and Little Gold’s cultivation bases.
“Alright!”
After listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words, Little Gold and Huan’er naturally did not have any objection.
“Let’s go to the Purgatory of Myriad Changes!” Duan Ling Tian knew he did not have much time left in the Purgatory Battlefield. He did not plan to enter any more secret zones since the treasures in there could no longer help him much.
While the trio traveled, Duan Ling Tian asked, “Sister Water, is there really no way for us to let the Divine Elements we encounter enter Huan’er and Little Gold’s bodies?”
Over the past decades, Duan Ling Tian had asked the World Cleansing Divine Water this question many times.
“I’ve said these to you many times now… Unless it’s a life-or-death situation, I don’t think they should risk trying to get all Five Divine Elements to reside in their bodies…” the World Cleansing Divine Water replied.
The Five Divine Elements chose their hosts, not the other way around. For example, when Duan Ling Tian first encountered the Chaos Divine Flame, his Profound Divine Metal had to convince the Chaos Divine Flame to share a host. At that time, if the Chaos Divine Flame refused, there was nothing that could be done at all.
In the Purgatory Battlefield, it was possible that the Divine Elements might choose a host out of desperation after their former hosts were killed. However, this meant that there was a chance the Divine Elements would abandon the host that they had chosen in desperation when they encountered another host they were satisfied with. Not only would that negatively affect the hosts who were abandoned, but those who were abandoned risked getting killed by the Divine Elements’ new hosts. Even if the new hosts did not have the intention to kill in the beginning, the Divine Elements would definitely persuade their new hosts to kill the hosts they abandoned.
The World Cleansing Divine Water continued to say, “Although there’s a good chance that the Divine Elements might not abandon Huan’er since she’s a good host, I can’t say the same for Little Gold. A top Celestial Beast is rare, but it isn’t rare enough.”
Duan Ling Tian fell silent. This was not the first time he had heard these words. Put Little Gold aside, he was not sure if he should let Huan’er take such a risk.
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian finally made up his mind. ‘Let’s not take such risks for now. Even if Huan’er obtained a Divine Element, it won’t improve her strength much. Moreover, I’ll protect her so it doesn’t matter if she’s a little weaker. As for Little Gold, I’ll let her decide once she becomes a Divine Beast. The Purgatory Battlefield isn’t the only place with the Five Divine Elements after all. There’ll definitely be Celestial Emperors in the Nine Serenities Battlefield who possess Divine Elements as well. At that time, if she decides she wants a Divine Element, I’ll enter the Nine Serenities Battlefield and help her obtain one.’
During their trip back to the Purgatory of Myriad Changes, the opponents whom Duan Ling Tian encountered were all rather weak. In fact, he could not be bothered to deal with some of them and let Huan’er and Little Gold deal with them instead.
At this moment, the Chaos Divine Earth’s childish voice that was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement suddenly rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. “A sixth-form Chaos Divine Earth! Finally! It’s finally here!”
At the same time, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. One of them belonged to a 3-meter-tall and muscular man who was s.h.i.+rtless. Meanwhile, the other figure that sat on the tall and muscular man’s shoulder was a short and skinny old woman.
