Chapter 4105: Evenly Matched
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian was in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic so he did not need to worry about revealing his strength. If he could use the Five Divine Elements now, he would have used it as well.
A Supreme Powerhouse Relic, as its name suggested, was a relic left behind by a supreme powerhouse before his or her death. It was the legacy of a supreme powerhouse. As such, it was definitely free from prying eyes. There were many kinds of legacies that supreme powerhouses left behind. Needless to say, the best was one that had been prepared in advance. Those who obtained such a legacy would become Supreme G.o.ds no matter how bad their talent was. As for those who were highly talented, they could even become supreme powerhouses. Needless to say, such a legacy was rare. Even supreme powerhouses could not predict their own deaths. Moreover, not many supreme powerhouses thought they would die. If they prepared such a place, was it not like cursing themselves to die?
The legacy that Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian’s master, found in the Asura h.e.l.l, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms, was left behind in a hurry as well. As such, its benefits were few. Nonetheless, with Feng Qing Yang’s talent and comprehension skills, it was not a problem for him to become a Supreme G.o.d with it as long as he did not die prematurely.
As for the Supreme Powerhouse Relic that Duan Ling Tian entered, it was rather special. It was formed when a supreme powerhouse transformed into the Dao and fused with the independent realm. It needed a lot of spiritual energy to maintain it. As such, once someone entered it, it would take a long time for it to restore its energy again. Moreover, the Dao that had been transformed by the supreme powerhouse could not be replenished. No matter how small the consumption was, it would one day be exhausted. At that time, the Supreme Powerhouse Relic would disappear.
This Supreme Powerhouse Relic was also hastily prepared before the death of its creator to leave fortuitous encounters that could help many people. Unless one knewthe method to access it, it was impossible to enter unless one was a supreme powerhouse. Even if a supreme powerhouse could not get in, he or she could destroy it.

‘In this place, I don’t need to worry about being watched… Exposing my secrets here won’t bring trouble…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. For this reason, he did not hesitate to reveal his trump cards as soon as he made a move, summoning Huang’er, artifact soul, and the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
“With my strength now, very few people under the age of 10,000 in the heavyweight and prime supreme-rank forces with cultivation bases below that of an Emperor of G.o.ds are a match for me.”
Duan Ling Tian was very confident about his strength. However, he was shocked when a spatial storm began to rage around Yun Qing Yan. At the same time, a sword emitting colorful lights, which was a replica of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, appeared in his hand. What shocked him the most was that the figure that appeared after that was a replica of Huang’er.
‘What’s going on? Based on my previous encounter with Yun Qing Yan, his strongest law isn’t the law of s.p.a.ce…’
Duan Ling Tian was slightly fl.u.s.tered. However, after he calmed down, a vague idea appeared in his mind, and he slowly figured things out.
‘Yun Qing Yan is one of my obsessions, hence the relic created an illusion of him. However, since I don’t know anything about Yun Qing Yan’s strength, the relic can only give him strength and abilities similar to mine…’
After figuring it out, Duan Ling Tian felt a little helpless. At the same time, his anger and hatred toward the illusion before him vanished immediately. He could see even more clearly now that the Yun Qing Yan in front of him was just an illusion.
‘I wonder if he has the same combat experience as I do…’
Duan Ling Tian naturally knew the illusion could not possibly possess Yun Qing Yan’s combat experience. After all, he knew nothing about Yun Qing Yan’s experience, and the illusion before him was formed from his thoughts and knowledge. The Supreme Powerhouse Relic had ‘customized’ his opponents based on his thoughts and knowledge.
‘If he has my combat experience as well, it won’t be difficult for me to defeat him,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. There was no one who knew him better than himself.
The Yun Qing Yan in front of him might have his strength, means, and combat experience, but it was just a pale imitation of Duan Ling Tian. As such, Duan Ling Tian was confident he could adapt to the situation and defeat Yun Qing Yan. Even if the illusion possessed the ability to adapt to the situation, it would not be as good as him.
‘It’ll be fine if the relic randomly gave him the combat experience of an ordinary person, but if his combat experience is from the supreme powerhouse who left this relic behind, it’ll be difficult for me to defeat or kill him…’
With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned solemn. The thought of the illusion possessing the combat experience of a supreme powerhouse pressed down on him like a huge mountain.
‘If I die here, I’d have died twice. At that time, I’d only have one chance left. I’ve only been here for a few days… I won’t be sent out so soon, right? Even Fourth Senior Sister wasn’t sent out so soon, right?’
Duan Ling Tian only knew that Lang Chun Yuan stayed in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic for a short time. He was unaware that she had stayed there for half a month. Considering he had only been here for a few days, he would have felt greatly pressured if he knew about it.
This was also the reason Yang Yu Chen did not specifically tell Duan Ling Tian the lengths of time his seniors spent in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. He was afraid that Duan Ling Tian would feel pressured.
“Duan Ling Tian, today I’ll dye the ground red with your blood, and I’ll walk on this ground when I get married…” Yun Qing Yan said icily before he attacked.
Duan Ling Tian put up his guard immediately. Although he knew Yun Qing Yan was just an illusion, he was still angered by those words since they were related to Ke’er. It was akin to touching his sore spot. How could he not be furious that someone was openly coveting his wife?
“You’re seeking death!” Duan Ling Tian said before he charged out as well. Despite his anger, he was rather level-headed when he attacked.
Duan Ling Tian, who was worried about the illusion possessing the combat experience of a supreme powerhouse, soon obtained the answer to his worries after their first collision.
Yun Qing Yan did not possess Duan Ling Tian’s combat experience, but he did not possess the combat experience of the supreme powerhouse as well. His control of the Mastery Dao was much better than that of Duan Ling Tian, but his Sword Dao was not inferior to that of Duan Ling Tian.
After his discovery, Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief. In this case, it was not impossible for him to defeat or kill Yun Qing Yan.
Swoos.h.!.+
Yun Qing Yan attacked again. Although he was not very skilled with the Sword Dao, with his superior Mastery Dao, the same level of comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce as Duan Ling Tian, Huang’er, and the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, he was also very powerful. At the very least, with his strength, he could easily defeat w.a.n.g Xiong, the prodigy from the Frozen Mountain Manor who ranked second in the Seven Mansions Feast, within three moves.
During the Seven Mansions Feast, Duan Ling Tian took a little longer to defeat w.a.n.g Xiong since he could not use many of his trump cards such as the Seven Orifices Exquisite Swords.
“I have to defeat Yun Qing Yan. I’ll prove that I’m superior to this opponent that the relic created for me!”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone as his fighting spirit soared. His sword was like a fierce dragon as he clashed with Yun Qing Yan again and again.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Colorful sword rays flew in all directions.
Duan Ling Tian’s sword rays easily suppressed Yun Qing Yan’s sword rays, but they did not hurt Yun Qing Yan because Yun Qing Yan’s amazing control over the Mastery Dao helped him to deflect his sword rays.
‘How amazing! His control of the Mastery Dao is influenced by the supreme powerhouse who left this behind after all…’
In the beginning, Duan Ling Tian did not realize it. However, as time pa.s.sed, he found that Yun Qing Yan’s Mastery Dao was helping to further comprehend the Mastery Dao.
Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian noticed that although Yun Qing Yan’s Sword Dao was lacking, Yun Qing Yan’s Mastery Dao completely made up for the gap. As such, Duan Ling Tian did not have an advantage at all.
‘It’ll be hard for me to defeat him unless I can quickly improve my control of the Mastery Dao…’
With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian’s expression grew solemn. At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to Yun Qing Yan’s Mastery Dao as they fought.
The level of Duan Ling Tian and Yun Qing Yan’s Mastery Dao was the same, but Yun Qing Yan had better control due to the influence of the supreme powerhouse who left this relic behind. In this regard, he was far inferior to Yun Qing Yan.
