Chapter 4594 - 4594 Lei Hong
4594 Lei Hong
Time did not leave any traces on Ke’er. She was still young and beautiful; her face was still exquisite, and her figure was still captivating.
When Ke’er saw the familiar handsome face in front of her, tears welled up in her eyes immediately. Although her soul was imprisoned all these years, she was not completely unaware of what was happening. She could not move or communicate using her Divine Consciousness, but she could still sense and hear the outside world.
She knew that Duan Ling Tian left the G.o.d Defying World for the Outer Boundary to search for a way to release her from the soul imprisonment technique. As the Young Miss of the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land, she naturally knew how perilous the Outer Boundary was.
“Brother Tian!”
Ke’er threw herself into Duan Ling Tian’s arms, overwhelmed by her emotions. Tears flowed from her eyes, staining Duan Ling Tian’s robe. However, he seemed oblivious to it as he held her tightly in his arms and comforted her.
“It’s alright… From now on, nothing will happen to you ever again. We’ll never be apart again. I have the ability to protect you now…” Duan Ling Tian said to rea.s.sure Ke’er, but his eyes were slightly red as well.
He thought about the past and how his biggest fear at that time was Ke’er soul being destroyed before he was strong enough to get rid of the soul imprisonment technique.
The two embraced each other; one continued to cry while the other continued to comfort patiently and gently.
A tender smile could be seen on Duan Ling Tian’s face at this moment. Words could not describe how happy he was that Ke’er finally woke up. He vowed that he would never let her suffer any harm again.
At the same time, Li Fei, Feng Tian Wu, and Huan’er stood nearby and watched as the two embraced. After a long while, when the two finally separated, they approached Ke’er.
“Ke’er, you’re finally awake,” Li Fei said. She was initially composed, but looking at Ke’er’s face again now momentarily transported her back to the past. Tears began to stream down her face as she recalled the hards.h.i.+ps Ke’er faced.
Feng Tian Wu also felt distressed for Ke’er.
Although Huan’er did not have much interaction with Ke’er, she also felt sorry for Ke’er.
…
For a period of time after that, Duan Ling Tian spent time with the four women. He chatted with them and recounted his time in the Outer Boundary. He also listened to them.
After that, he began to help them cultivate. He had already given Li Fei, Feng Tian Wu, and Huan’er a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity so he gave one to Ke’er as well. With this, all of his family members now possessed a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.
Duan Ling Tian’s family was now scattered throughout the various Realms of G.o.ds in the G.o.d Defying World. His children were wandering the world, hoping to make a name for themselves like their father.
Duan Ling Tian’s parents were cultivating in the Xia clan. Once he confirmed that they had come out of their closed-door cultivation, he brought Ke’er to visit them.
Li Rou burst into tears as soon as she saw Ke’er while Duan Ru Feng smiled happily.
Duan Ru Feng even told Duan Ling Tian to take better care of Ke’er. He even joked about disowning Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian failed to protect Ke’er despite knowing he was no match for Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian naturally agreed with his father and promised to protect Ke’er.
…
Time flew by, and in just a blink of an eye, more than a decade had pa.s.sed.
During this time, Duan Ling Tian continued to cultivate according to the Void Elder’s memories while he stayed with his family. Initially, he planned to break through to the eighth stage of his Sword Dao, but it was not as simple as he had thought it would be. He had more success with the Mastery Dao and Limitless Dao; they were now both at the sixth stage.
Although the Void Elder’s memories were very clear, there were still many things he had to confirm on his own.
On this day, Duan Ling Tian was sitting cross-legged with the four women in a remote corner of the Xia clan’s estate.
Suddenly, the wind began to pick up, dispersing the clouds.
All of them turned to look at the sky in unison.
‘Congratulations to Lei Hong, a level-six supreme powerhouse from the Sun Bright World. Now that he has overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, he’s poised to become the fourth level-seven supreme powerhouse after the historical gap, surpa.s.sing World supreme powerhouses and Saints!’
“So this is the heavenly text?”
Ke’er had heard about the heavenly text, and she knew that the first heavenly text appeared to announce Duan Ling Tian’s success in being the first person to overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation after the historical gap.
Li Fei looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “The Sun Bright World is one of the Three Upper Worlds, right?”
Li Fei had spent almost all her time with Duan Ling Tian after he returned. He had briefly spoken about the Three Upper Worlds in the past and did not go into details.
“That’s right,” Duan Ling Tian replied. He did not know much about the Three Upper Worlds, but he remembered the Sun Bright World because Xiao Mu Bai had mentioned it before.
‘Lei Hong?’
Duan Ling Tian thought the name sounded familiar. After a while, he finally remembered why the name was familiar.
According to Xiao Mu Bai, after Duan Ling Tian successfully overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and left the G.o.d Defying World, a group of World supreme powerhouses from the Three Upper Worlds and a few of the Middle Worlds banded together and demanded the G.o.d Defying World to hand Duan Ling Tian over to them. They threatened to destroy the G.o.d Defying World if their demand was not met. One of the leaders of these World supreme powerhouses was Lei Hong from the Sun Bright World. In the end, all of them left, worried that Duan Ling Tian might seek revenge from them after his breakthrough.
‘Wait. Old Meng mentioned Lei Hong as well during his last visit!’
Duan Ling Tian recalled that Meng Han had also mentioned Lei Hong when Meng Han visited the G.o.d Defying World after he became a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
Lei Hong was the third person to enter the Heaven Traversing PaG.o.da. For this reason, the difficulty of the tests was reduced by 10% for him, and he successfully obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman.
‘I didn’t expect Lei Hong to be able to overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation so quickly without a fourth Heaven Protection Talisman…’
