Chapter 3589: Duan Ling Tian’s Choices
Duan Ling Tian ignored He Chun Li.
However, Duan Ling Tian did not expect Huang’er to stop dead in her tracks as soon as she heard He Chun Li’s words. At the same time, the seven-colored sword rays surrounding He Chun Li had stilled as well. Following that, Huang’er asked tentatively, “Master, do you want to consider her suggestion?”
He Chun Li heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Huang’er’s words. Then, she looked at Duan Ling Tian hopefully as sweat trickled down from her temples.
He Chun Li would never forget today’s incident for the rest of her life. After all, four of the strongest Nine Stars G.o.ds of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield died in Duan Ling Tian’s hands.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was perplexed by Huang’er. Did she think he was a blindly kind person? After a moment, he said to Huang’er through Voice Transmission, “Attack.”
With that, Huang’er released her hold on the seven-colored sword rays surrounding He Chun Li, killing He Chun Li who was waiting for Duan Ling Tian’s reply.
With these, the five top Nine Stars G.o.ds of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield all died.
“Good job,” Duan Ling Tian said to Huang’er with a smile on his face.
After bowing to Duan Ling Tian, Huang’er turned in a streak of seven-colored light and returned to the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian looked at his Five Divine Elements that were devouring the top Nine Stars G.o.ds of War’s Divine Elements.
Among Duan Ling Tian’s Five Divine Elements, only the Chaos Divine Fire was in its eighth form. The other four Divine Elements were only in their seventh form. Nevertheless, with the help of the Five Divine Elements Devouring Formation, they were able to devour their counterparts.
Not only were the top Nine Stars G.o.ds of War’s Divine Elements being devoured by Duan Ling Tian’s Five Divine Elements, but they were also powering the Formation that put them in a sedated state.
The Formation would not be so effective if it were not for Duan Ling Tian and the World Cleansing Divine Water’s extensive preparations.
“Fortunately, I have Sister Water on my side,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he stared at the World Cleansing Divine Water.
Duan Ling Tian and the World Cleansing Divine Water had come up with this plan as far back as when they left the independent realm that housed the main t.i.tle Temple. At that time, when the Five Divine Elements had worked together to help him escape from two Kings of G.o.ds, the World Cleansing Divine Water had told him about her plans of setting up the Five Divine Elements Devouring Formation.
At that time, the World Cleansing Divine Water had stressed how important it was for him to have the strength to defeat the top five Nine Stars G.o.ds of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield without the Five Divine Elements’ help before they could implement their plan.
The World Cleansing Divine Water had also come up with the plan to use the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword as bait.
Nevertheless, the World Cleansing Divine Water had been shocked at how fast the plan was put into action. In her opinion, no matter how talented Duan Ling Tian was, it would take at least 10 years for him to grow strong enough for them to implement the plan. However, not only did he quickly grow strong enough to carry out their plan, he had even succeeded with Huang’er’s help.
Duan Ling Tian continued looking at his Five Divine Elements as he thought to himself, “After devouring these Divine Elements, even if Sister Water and the others don’t evolve to the ninth form, they would still be very close to evolving into their ninth form. However, there’s no doubt that Senior Chao Divine Flame will be able to evolve into its ninth form immediately after devouring its counterpart.”
The Five Divine Elements continued devouring their counterparts at an increasing speed.
…
Half a day later.
“Little Tian,” the World Cleansing Divine Water called out.
“Sister Water? Why did all of you stop?” Duan Ling Tian looked at the World Cleansing Divine Water with a confused expression on his face when he discovered the Five Divine Elements had stopped devouring their counterparts.
“Little Tian, we’re now capable of evolving into our eighth form with the energy that we’ve devoured. In fact, the Chaos Divine Flame will be able to evolve into his ninth form. As for the four of us, even if we devour the remaining energies in our counterparts, we won’t be able to evolve to the ninth form just yet. Similarly, the Chao Divine Flame no longer needs its counterpart. Hence, we’ve decided to use the remaining energies of the other Five Divine Elements to help you break the barrier of the Nine Serenities Battlefield and send you to the Realm Battlefield. After you enter the Realm Battlefield, you’ll be able to go to the Realms of G.o.ds. Haven’t you been wanting to go to the Divine Offering Land for a long time now? There are many Realms of G.o.ds so I can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to go to the Divine Offering Realm specifically. However, this is still a chance,” the World Cleansing Divine Water explained.
“Go to a Realm of G.o.ds?” Duan Ling Tian stopped breathing for a moment upon hearing these words. He did not expect he would be able to go to a Realm of G.o.ds ahead of time. Nevertheless, he did not get carried away. Instead, he calmly asked, “Sister Water, are you certain this won’t affect you and the other Divine Elements? Although it’d be great if I can go to the Realm of G.o.ds ahead of time, staying in the Nine Serenities Battlefield or the Devata Realms a little longer would not affect me much. Moreover, with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in my Little World that came from a remnant of a Realm of G.o.ds, my cultivation won’t fall behind even after I attain G.o.dhood.”
The World Cleansing Divine Water sighed before it said, “Things are no longer that simple. Now that word has spread about your prominent divine artifact with an artifact soul, there’ll only be more and more people in the Devata Realms coming after you. Apart from that, it’s not wise to wait here until the pa.s.sages between the Devata Realms and the Realms of G.o.ds reopen. You can be sure that the G.o.ds will find out almost immediately about your Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword at that time. With that, you’d be in an even more difficult situation. There are also the G.o.ds in the Devata Realms now. You’re no match for them now.”
Duan Ling Tian fell silent upon hearing the World Cleansing Divine Water’s words. He was well aware of his situation so he knew the World Cleansing Divine Water was right.
The World Cleansing Divine Water continued to say, “Moreover, the others and I will be inactive for a long time while we digest the energies we’ve devoured. This means we won’t be able to help you if you run into trouble. Considering everything, I think it’s best for you to go to the Realm of G.o.ds in advance. You won’t have to worry about being targeted over the next 300 years. Moreover, spending 300 years in a Realm of G.o.ds is more beneficial than staying in a Devata Realm for 3,000 years. Naturally, this is just a suggestion. The decision is in your hand. After all, in order to go to a Realm of G.o.ds, we need to send you to the Realm Battlefield first. The Realm Battlefield is fraught with danger so it’ll be difficult to survive there.”
Duan Ling Tian fell silent for a long time as he mulled over the World Cleansing Divine Water’s words. Her words had struck a chord in his heart. Previously, he knew he did not have much to worry about when his Five Divine Elements were exposed in front of Wu Hong Qing; the Temple Master of the main t.i.tle Temple, and Mi Xuan; the former Clan Leader of the Phantom Clan. He knew they would not expose his Five Divine Elements since they wanted the Five Divine Elements for themselves. However, it was different for his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword since too many people knew about it. It was impossible to stop the news from spreading. Moreover, most of these people knew there was no chance of them s.n.a.t.c.hing the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword from Duan Ling Tian, hence, they had no reason to keep the existence of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword a secret..
