Chapter 4192: The Enmity Between Duan Ling Tian and the Imminent Supreme G.o.d From the Soaring Divine Kingdom
Bang!
The injured imminent Supreme G.o.d was now caught between the newcomer, an imminent Supreme G.o.d in peak condition, and Duan Ling Tian, who was staring at him menacingly. In fewer than two breaths, he was killed by the newcomer, an imminent Supreme G.o.d from the Soaring Divine Kingdom.
‘He stole from me!’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened immediately. In his opinion, he discovered the two imminent Supreme G.o.ds first. After killing one of them, the newcomer made a move during the critical moment.
Duan Ling Tian reacted very quickly. As soon as the second imminent Supreme G.o.d died, he used his Divine Energy to separate the other party’s prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul and spatial ring. Following that, he pretended to make a move to claim the prominent divine artifact.
!!
When the imminent Supreme G.o.d from the Soaring Divine Kingdom saw this, his expression darkened before he made a move.
Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian suddenly teleported away and claimed the spatial ring instead.
The imminent Supreme G.o.d’s expression worsened. He came to a stop and bellowed, “Duan Ling Tian, how dare you steal from me!”
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian teleported to the prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.
In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, the spatial ring and the prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul rightfully belonged to him. Moreover, he felt that the imminent Supreme G.o.d from the Soaring Divine Kingdom should be grateful that he did not intend to seek justice for killing the injured imminent Supreme G.o.d. If the imminent Supreme G.o.d from the Soaring Divine Kingdom refused to back down, he naturally would not back down as well. After all, now that he was an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds, he was confident about defeating an imminent Supreme G.o.d.
Boom!
Just as Duan Ling Tian reached out for the prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul, the imminent Supreme G.o.d from the Soaring Divine Kingdom made a move. He flew over and punched his fist out. At the same time, his prominent divine artifact shone with a dazzling golden light just like the sun as it swept toward Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian launched a seven-colored sword ray immediately, blocking the imminent Supreme G.o.d’s attack as he grabbed the prominent divine artifact and put it away.
“Duan Ling Tian, do you have a death wish?” the old imminent Supreme G.o.d from the Soaring Divine Kingdom asked furiously. He cast his law of metal that shone as brightly as the sun and imbued it with his Divine Energy; his attack looked like the sun that could burn everything in its path.
“You showed disrespect first,” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly. At the same time, his seven-colored sword ray shot toward the old man again.
The two attacks seemed to be evenly matched when they collided.
The backlash from the collision forced Duan Ling Tian back a dozen steps while the old man was forced back 20 steps.
‘How can an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds be so powerful?’
The old man’s face flushed red as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said angrily, “Duan Ling Tian, you stole my spatial ring and prominent divine artifact! Are you trying to provoke me?”
“Your spatial ring and prominent divine artifact?” Duan Ling Tian said with a scoff, “Old geezer, you know the truth. Stop yapping. Otherwise, I’ll make you pay with your life.”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone with killing intent at the end of his words.
The old man’s expression changed drastically when he suddenly recalled that Duan Ling Tian was a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds capable of killing advanced Emperors of G.o.ds before they entered Destiny Canyon. Now that Duan Ling Tian was an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds, Duan Ling Tian was as strong as an imminent Supreme G.o.d. If Duan Ling Tian continued to grow stronger, it would be easy for him to kill an imminent Supreme G.o.d.
The old man scoffed. To preserve his image, he feigned calm despite shuddering in fear inwardly. Before turning into a streak of golden light and leaving, he said, “Duan Ling Tian, I won’t let this matter go!”
“I won’t let this matter go as well,” Duan Ling Tian said with a sneer as he watched the old man flee. He decided to kill the greedy old man after he stabilized his cultivation base.
There were rules in Destiny Canyon, and Duan Ling Tian had learned about them from Yun He before entering Destiny Canyon. One of the rules prohibited partic.i.p.ants with the same strength from interfering with each other’s fights unless one of the parties involved requested help. It was only natural that the violation of this rule would breed enmity.
Duan Ling Tian felt that it was impossible for the imminent Supreme G.o.d to be unaware of the rule. The imminent Supreme G.o.d did not think twice about violating the rule because he thought that Duan Ling Tian was a pushover.
‘Perhaps, he didn’t expect my strength to be on par with his after I became an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds,’ Duan Ling Tian speculated inwardly.
…
Duan Ling Tian was right.
The expression of the old man, who was a mansion master in the Soaring Divine Kingdom, was unsightly as he fled.
‘I thought that he’d still be weaker than I am after becoming an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds. I didn’t expect his strength to be on par with mine! Once he stabilizes his cultivation base, he’ll definitely be stronger than me! It’ll be easy for him to kill me at that time. d.a.m.n it! I shouldn’t have been greedy!’ the old man thought to himself with a sigh, ‘I better report this matter to the Lord and resigned from my position as mansion master. I’ll go to the capital and serve as a guard for the royal family. With the Lord’s Decree, the Lord will be able to protect me in the Soaring Divine Kingdom. No matter how monstrously strong Duan Ling Tian becomes, he and the supreme-rank forces he joins won’t be able to lay a finger on me!’
With this thought in mind, the old man heaved a sigh of relief.
…
Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware that the old man was terrified to the point where he decided to resign from his position as mansion master and serve under the Lord of the Soaring Diving Kingdom as a guard.
He continued on his journey to the heart of Destiny Canyon, gaining a lot of rewards on the way.
A few days later, he discovered that the inhabitants of Destiny Canyon seemed to have stopped their rampage and slowly disappeared. With this, it was not difficult for him to guess that he had arrived at the heart of Destiny Canyon.
‘I should find a place to settle down and absorb the energies I gained from the rewards. I have to stabilize my cultivation base as soon as I can. If I succeed, I’ll be able to kill imminent Supreme G.o.ds…’
After the confrontation with the imminent Supreme G.o.ds from the Soaring Divine Kingdom, Duan Ling Tian encountered a few more imminent Supreme G.o.ds. Needless to say, they all tried to kill Duan Ling Tian but failed. Even so, he was rather frustrated because he was unable to kill those people that provoked him. All he could do was defend himself and prevent them from killing him.
…
When Duan Ling Tian entered closed-door cultivation, a commotion broke out among the partic.i.p.ants in Destiny Canyon when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s points had surpa.s.sed those of Lang Chun Yuan by a few hundred points. He was now ranked first.
“How did Duan Ling Tian manage to acc.u.mulate so many points?”
“Lang Chun Yuan is comparable to an ordinary Supreme G.o.d so it wasn’t surprising that she was able to acc.u.mulate so many points. However, even if Duan Ling Tian is capable of killing advanced Emperors of G.o.ds, he’s still now comparable to imminent Supreme G.o.ds, right?”
“Is it possible that he had a breakthrough and became an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds?!”
“That’s possible!”
Many people were still unaware that Duan Ling Tian had become an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds. However, after he was ranked first in the individual ranking, many began to speculate that he had become an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds and was as strong as an imminent Supreme G.o.d.
As time pa.s.sed, a few imminent Supreme G.o.ds who ran into Duan Ling Tian also confirmed the speculation, shocking everyone.
“Duan Ling Tian just became an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds, but he already possesses the strength of an imminent Supreme G.o.d? He’s a monster!”
“A monster is an understatement! If you ask me, he’s truly heaven-defying!”
“I didn’t expect there to be a day where I’m afraid of an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds! I’m actually praying that I don’t run into him lest he kills me!”
…
While more and more partic.i.p.ants arrived at the heart of Destiny Canyon as they discussed Duan Ling Tian, Lang Chun Yuan finally stopped fighting with the dark knight.
“You’re nothing special, and you’re no match for me. Alas, I can’t kill you. Otherwise, an intermediate Supreme G.o.d will appear after your death. I’m no match for an intermediate Supreme G.o.d now so… goodbye!” Lang Chun Yuan said as she abruptly stopped the fight. After bidding farewell to the dark knight, she quickly left and made her way to the heart of Destiny Canyon.
‘Although I can’t kill the other partic.i.p.ants now, I can still help junior brother if he needs help. Just because I can’t kill them, it doesn’t mean that I can’t injure them…’
Lang Chun Yuan could have left Destiny Canyon and quit the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms after becoming a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d. However, she did not do so because she wanted to help Duan Ling Tian to become an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds.
To her surprise, when she arrived at the heart of Destiny Canyon, she learned that Duan Ling Tian had already become an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds. Then, when she checked the individual ranking, she was shocked again by Duan Ling Tian’s points.
‘Junior brother has surpa.s.sed me?’
‘Based on his points, he must have become an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds with all the rewards he received. How remarkable! His strength is now comparable to that of an imminent Supreme G.o.d. He’s even more talented than all of us! I believe even Eldest Senior Sister wasn’t as strong as junior brother when she was an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds! Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother will definitely like junior brother when they meet him!’
A warm and gentle smile blossomed on Lang Chun Yuan’s face as she continued thinking to herself, ‘I wonder when Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother will return from the Realm Battlefield…’
