Chapter 3573: The Supreme Guardian is Duan Ling Tian?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Tang San Pao might not have approached Duan Ling Tian with ulterior motives during the Devata Realms’ Battle of Geniuses, due to Tang San Pao’s ident.i.ty, it was destined that the duo would be like two parallel lines that would never intersect. Moreover, once the t.i.tle Temple joined forces with the Phantom Clan to possess Duan Ling Tian, he knew the t.i.tle Temple could only be his enemy. As the Young Master of the t.i.tle Temple, Tang San Pao would only be his enemy as well.
After the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, Duan Ling Tian had never seen Tang San Pao again. He did expect that he would see Tang San Pao again in the Nine Serenities Battlefield.

Duan Ling Tian did not bother disguising himself since he knew Tang San Pao’s Divine Consciousness had already discovered his true ident.i.ty. He could tell from the way Tang San Pao made his entrance that Tang San Pao did not come for a friendly chat. There was a possibility that his whereabouts had been exposed to the t.i.tle Temple now that Tang San Pao found him.
“Tang San Pao,” Duan Ling Tian looked at Tang San Pao calmly as he said, “Did you come alone? Aren’t you afraid I’d kill you? The t.i.tle Temple and I are enemies, after all.”
A hint of killing intent flashed in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes after he finished speaking.
“Tang San Pao?” ‘Tang San Pao’ was momentarily confused by this form of address. Then, he shook his head and thought to himself, ‘Who knew you know the owner of this body, Duan Ling Tian.’
“Tang San Pao is long gone…”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened upon hearing these words. He was slightly confused. If the person in front of him was not Tang San Pao, then why did the Divine Consciousness that probed him earlier feel so familiar? Then, realization dawned on him before he said, “You… You’re Mi Xuan!”
Duan Ling Tian finally realized the Divine Consciousness had felt so familiar because it belonged to Mi Xuan, the King of G.o.ds from the Phantom Clan. He did not make the connection immediately because the Divine Consciousness he had sensed earlier was not as strong as before. Now that he discovered Tang San Pao’s body being possessed by Mi Xuan, he naturally knew the reason why the Divine Consciousness seemed weaker. After all, they were in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. G.o.ds were prohibited from entering the Nine Serenities Battlefield so for Mi Xuan to come here, he would have to restrain his strength.
‘I didn’t expect Mi Xuan to possess Tang San Pao…’
“I have to admit you’re quite smart…” Mi Xuan said tonelessly as he stared at Duan Ling Tian with his flas.h.i.+ng with killing intent.
“I’m not surprised you’re able to come to this place using Tang San Pao’s body. Nevertheless, your soul should still be strong for you to come to this place, right?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly confused. He could sense through the Divine Consciousness earlier that Mi Xuan’s soul was only that of a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. Although he had his own speculation, he wanted to verify it.
Mi Xuan scoffed. “The Phantom Clan members are souls to begin with. Naturally, we have ways to suppress our strength…”
As expected, Mi Xuan had used his clan’s technique to suppress his soul to that of a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor so that he would be able to enter the Nine Serenities Battlefield. He would not have access to his true strength here since he would be killed by the restriction in the Nine Serenities Battlefield if he displayed strength stronger than a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. Needless to say, he was not the first nor was he the last to do such a thing to enter the Nine Serenities Battlefield.
The Nine Serenities Battlefield was formed from the collision of two Realms of G.o.ds. The energy it contained was beyond most people’s imaginations. Even G.o.ds were helpless against it, let alone celestials.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
The sound of wind whistling rang in the air as numerous figures arrived one after another near Duan Ling Tian and Mi Xuan. They surrounded the duo from afar as they watched what was happening.
Among these people were Luo Yi Ming and Luo Feng, the Leader and the Vice Leader of the North Profound Alliance respectively.
The people from the North Profound Alliance looked at Duan Ling Tian confusion now that he had removed his hat, revealing his face.
“Our Supreme Guardian is so young,” Luo Feng said in surprise.
Luo Yi Ming nodded. “I didn’t expect this as well…”
The others were also surprised when they saw the appearance of their Supreme Guardian.
“Is he the one who came looking for trouble with our Supreme Guardian and killed two of our Guardians?”
When Luo Yi Ming and Luo Feng s.h.i.+fted their eyes from Duan Ling Tian to the person standing across from Duan Ling Tian, their eyes shone with fury and wariness. Despite their anger, they did not dare to act recklessly since they knew the other party was not simple. After all, would someone who confidently came to look for trouble with their Supreme Guardian be simple?
“Duan Ling Tian, your performance in the Nine Serenities Battlefield has been astonis.h.i.+ng. If I’m not mistaken you’re now the strongest Eight Star G.o.d of War. You must feel really proud of yourself…” Mi Xuan said mockingly. He was not in a rush to make his move. After all, he was certain that Duan Ling Tian would not be able to escape from them today.
“Duan Ling Tian?”
Upon hearing Mi Xuan’s words, the members of the North Profound Alliance were shocked. After all, they had known Duan Ling Tian as Li Feng.
“Duan Ling Tian? He’s the only true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven and the former Vice Leader of the disbanded Heavenly Dao Alliance, right? The one who killed Wu Long, the second Leader of the Given Alliance?”
“So our Supreme Guardian is Duan Ling Tian? Li Feng must be an alias!”
“It makes sense! Duan Ling Tian comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce, and our Supreme Guardian comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce as well!”
It took the members of the North Profound Alliance a long time to recover from their shock after learning that their Supreme Guardian Li Feng was in fact Duan Ling Tian who was famous in the Nine Serenities Battlefield.
“No wonder he’s so powerful! Previously, many people said he’s comparable to the late Wu Long and Duan Ling Tian. As it turns out, he’s Duan Ling Tian!”
“I really didn’t expect our Supreme Guardian to be Duan Ling Tian!”
While the members of the North Profound Alliance, Guardians; elders; and members alike, were fervently discussing this matter, Luo Yi Ming and Luo Feng were in a daze.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian remained unaffected by Mi Xuan’s provocations. He said, “Mi Xuan, you’re not a King of G.o.ds now. Moreover, you’re suppressing the strength of your soul. Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you now that you’ve shown yourself?”
“King of G.o.ds?”
Once again, the members of the North Profound Alliance were shocked. Needless to say, there were some who did not know what this meant.
At this moment, Luo Yi Ming and Luo Feng’s expressions had changed drastically. Their eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with fear when they looked at Mi Xuan again.
“H-he’s a King of G.o.ds?”
Even rudimentary G.o.ds were considered extraordinary in the Devata Realms, let alone Kings of G.o.ds.
The North Profound Alliance had a long history in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. Hence, Luo Yi Ming and Luo Feng understood Duan Ling Tian’s words when Duan Ling Tian said Mi Xuan had to suppress his strength in order to come to the Nine Serenities Battlefield. There were records in the alliance that detailed those who suppressed their cultivation bases and souls to enter the Nine Serenities Battlefield. There were quite a few instances where these people were killed by the Nine Serenities Battlefield when they forgot themselves and unleashed their true strength in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. This served as a reminder to those G.o.ds who came to this place that they could only exert strength comparable to a Nine Star G.o.d of War.
“Even if he’s only as strong as a Nine Star G.o.d of War now, our Supreme Guardian would still have a hard time dealing with him, right?” Luo Feng, who was standing next to Luo Yi Ming, asked.
“Perhaps… However, our Supreme Guardian doesn’t seem afraid…” Luo Yi Ming said after he carefully studied Duan Ling Tian’s expression.
Meanwhile, Mi Xuan sneered upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. He said disdainfully, “Duan Ling Tian, I would’ve lived in vain if I needed my strength as a King of G.o.ds to kill an Eight Star G.o.d of War. Do you think I’d come to face you if I didn’t have the strength of a Nine Star G.o.d of War?”
The words ‘Nine Star G.o.d of War’ struck the members of the North Profound Alliance like a lightning bolt. Although they had prepared themselves for this, their hearts could not help but sink upon hearing Mi Xuan’s confirmation.
Although the members of the North Profound Alliance were shocked by their Supreme Guardian’s ident.i.ty, they were not averse to him. After all, he had protected them from the other alliances before. Without him, they would have died. Hence, they were grateful to him and did not want any harm to come to him.
“Nine Star G.o.d of War?” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as the corners of his lips curved into a smile. “Perfect. I haven’t had a chance to fight since I became a Nine Star G.o.d of War. You can be my punching back today, Mi Xuan..”
