Chapter 3919: Traveling Tens of Thousands of Miles to Seek Death
A purple figure sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed could be seen at the top of a mountain in a stone forest.
‘If I can use the Sword Dao and Mastery Dao together perfectly, will it raise my strength to another level? Should I fuse them into an attack?’
Suddenly, a spatial storm began to rage around him before sword rays flew back and forth.
After that, Duan Ling Tian frowned as he muttered to himself, “No, not like this. This doesn’t work either…”
Duan Ling Tian had spent a lot of time trying to fuse his Mastery Dao and Sword Dao into a new attack. Alas, all his attempts had failed. Currently, he had grown rather tired and frustrated.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that a man with a medium build was hovering high up in the sky and looking at him.
‘It’s really Duan Ling Tian! I can’t believe he broke through in such a short time and became a Lord of G.o.ds! Fortunately, he only became a Lord of G.o.ds recently. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be his match if a few hundred years had pa.s.sed…’
The man was none other than Huang Yun, the inner elder from the Tai Yi Sect.
Back at the start of the Imperial War, when Duan Ling Tian, who was still a King of G.o.ds, visited Peace City for the first time, Huang Yun had a dispute with him. For that reason, he had vowed not to leave the King Battlefield until he killed 100 Kings of G.o.ds from the Tai Yi Sect. Duan Ling Tian had made it clear to the others that the deaths of the 100 Kings of G.o.ds were caused by Huang Yun. At that time, Huang Yun had been dismissive of Duan Ling Tian’s words and even mocked Duan Ling Tian before Duan Ling Tian entered the King Battlefield. He did not expect that Duan Ling Tian was truly capable of killing 100 Kings of G.o.ds from the Tai Yi Sect. Needless to say, many people, including high-ranking officials, vented their anger on him when Duan Ling Tian killed the Kings of G.o.ds from the Tai Yi Sect.
Under such circ.u.mstances, Huang Yun fled to the Lord Battlefield. He did not dare to leave, afraid of burdening his relatives and disciples. Most importantly, he dared not leave because his life would be in danger once he returned to the Tai Yi Sect. Initially, he had wandered around hopelessly and killed a few Lords of G.o.ds whom he encountered. However, with more people he killed, the flames of hope and the will to live reignited in his heart. He thought that perhaps those from the Tai Yi Sect would forgive him if he contributed greatly during the Imperial War.
…
Huang Yun was very cautious and did not attack immediately.
‘It’s best to be extra cautious. I don’t know for sure if anyone’s protecting Duan Ling Tian in the dark. It’s unlikely for White Dragon Elders to protect him, but it’s not impossible for inner elders to do so…’
Huang Yun did not let his hatred blind him and remained cautious. This was one of the reasons he managed to survive so long on the Lord Battlefield. Due to his wariness, he even managed to escape from two inner elders from the Flying Dragon Sect previously. He was also lucky he did not encounter any White Dragon Elders. Otherwise, he might have already died.
‘Let’s wait a little longer. If he leaves, I’ll continue to follow him and observe him to make sure no one’s secretly protecting him before I make a move…’ Huang Yun thought to himself, resisting the urge to rush out and kill Duan Ling Tian. He continued to hide, biding his time as he observed Duan Ling Tian. He was certain there were no White Dragon Elders protecting Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, the White Dragon Elder would have already sensed his presence.
‘Patience, patience…’ Huang Yun thought to himself over and over again. He was like a ravenous wolf stalking its prey and wary of traps set by hunters lurking in the dark.
Duan Ling Tian naturally could not sense Huang Yun because he was just a rudimentary Lord of G.o.ds. His overwhelming strength came from his law of s.p.a.ce, Mastery Dao, and Sword Dao. Even his doppelgangers did not give him an advantage since it could be countered by his opponent’s bloodline power. No matter how strong he was, his Divine Consciousness was that of a rudimentary Lord of G.o.ds. As such, he could not detect the presence of an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds. Nonetheless, he was confident he would be able to react in time if an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds ambushed him.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Forget it. I should continue hunting for a few more Lords of G.o.ds from the Tai Yi Sect before leaving the battlefield. At this stage, with the Limit Divine Pills, I should be able to break past the bottleneck…”
After fighting and killing Liu Yin, a White Dragon Elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, Duan Ling Tian could feel the bottleneck loosening. After that, he encountered an inner elder from the Tai Yi Sect and exchanged 1,000 blows before killing the other party with his Mastery Dao. At that time, the inner elder from the Tai Yi Sect had been confused by Duan Ling Tian’s sudden increase in strength after exchanging 1,000 moves. The battle with the inner elder brought him another step closer to the breakthrough.
Finally, Duan Ling Tian stopped trying to fuse his Mastery Dao and Sword Dao into an attack. He took a few Limit Divine Pills to completely restore his Divine Energy.
…
A few days later, Duan Ling Tian left the stone forest after his Divine Energy was completely replenished. He flew toward the exit in the Lord Battlefield, hoping to run into a few more Lords of G.o.ds from the Tai Yi Sect.
Huang Yun, who was tailing Duan Ling Tian, wondered inwardly, ‘Is he planning to leave the Lord Battlefield?’
Huang Yun naturally knew Duan Ling Tian was heading toward the exit to Flying Dragon City. Usually, the opposition would not go near the exits of their opponents due to how risky it was.
‘I’ll follow him for a few more days just to be sure before I make a move…’
Huang Yun patiently followed Duan Ling Tian. He did not stare at Duan Ling Tian for too long, in fear of alerting Duan Ling Tian.
…
Six days later.
Duan Ling Tian entered a barren desert. Nothing, no signs of life, could be seen at all. After wandering the desert for a few hours, he suddenly came to a stop as though he had sensed something.
Boom!
Duan Ling Tian flashed away just as a thunderous explosion rang in the air. Following that, when he reappeared, he discovered a figure next to him.
Swoos.h.!.+
A dazzling saber swept toward Duan Ling Tian immediately. He could not teleport away in time so he quickly retreated. As he flew back, he finally had a good look at the other party and exclaimed, slightly startled, “It’s you?”
“Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to be so strong!” Huang Yun, who had shown himself after waiting for ten days, said. He looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly, slightly surprised as well. After all, his surprise attack earlier would have killed an ordinary rudimentary Lord of G.o.ds, but Duan Ling Tian was barely injured.
“I didn’t expect to meet you here…” Duan Ling Tian naturally remembered Huang Yun, who had left a deep impression on him.
Huang Yun scoffed and said, “I’ve been following you for tens of thousands of miles. Duan Ling Tian, today will be the day you die!”
“Tens of thousands of miles?” Duan Ling Tian sneered and said, “You traveled tens of thousands of miles just to seek death?”
