Chapter 4149: Duan Ling Tian Achieves a Breakthrough and Is Rewarded With an Emperor-Grade Secret Realm!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were various Divine Kingdoms in the Southern Heaven Continent. Only the strongest powerhouses could become a Lord of a Divine Kingdom.
Due to the reward system, killings were rampant. As such, the risk of getting killed was extremely high after one left a city. Although one’s safety was not 100% guaranteed in the city, it was very much safer in the city.
The capital of the Soaring Divine Kingdom, a Divine Kingdom in the Southern Heaven Continent, was the safest place in the kingdom. However, a young woman entered the capital and started a b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre, slaughtering advanced Emperors of G.o.ds like a demon that crawled out from h.e.l.l.
At this time, a group of intermediate and rudimentary Emperors of G.o.ds hovered in the air as they watched the young woman leave the capital of the Soaring Divine Kingdom with unsightly expressions on their faces.
“If our Lord is here, he’ll definitely be able to kill her!”
!!
Unbeknownst to this group of intermediate and rudimentary Emperors of G.o.ds, the young woman was not done killing. Earlier, before his death, an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds had revealed to her the location of the cultivation ground of the Lord of the Soaring Divine Kingdom, who was a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d.
The young woman was none other than Lang Chun Yuan, Duan Ling Tian’s Fourth Senior Sister. Coincidentally, after entering the Trial of G.o.ds, she retained the appearance of a young woman. She was given the ident.i.ty of an ordinary young woman from one of the villages near the capital of the Soaring Divine Kingdom. Needless to say, the ordinary young woman was no longer ordinary after she had a.s.sumed the ordinary young woman’s ident.i.ty and could easily kill advanced Emperors of G.o.ds.
‘A rudimentary Supreme G.o.d… If he’s not too strong, I should be able to escape even if I can’t kill him… If I’m able to kill him, I can’t imagine how great the reward will be…’
…
At the same time, similar to Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan, most of the top prodigies from the various heavyweight supreme-rank forces, who entered the Trial of G.o.ds, had tremendous success as well. All of them also lamented that three years was too short to spend in the Trial of G.o.ds.
On the contrary, the weaker ones among top prodigies were hunted and some were even killed in the process. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, after all. Even if there was no enmity, the reward system alone was enough to encourage killing. After all, the rewards were the easiest way to raise one’s cultivation base.
“I don’t want to leave this place so soon… Alas, we’ll be forcefully transported out of this place once the time is up…”
“What an amazing place! I’m going to achieve a breakthrough soon!”
“The reward system isn’t the only fortuitous encounter. I heard that the supreme powerhouses left behind various secret realms here as well…”
…
Duan Ling Tian was unaware of his peers’ situation. At this time, he was close to breaking through. Before entering the Trial of G.o.ds, his cultivation base had yet to stabilize at all. However, after spending only half a year in the Trial of G.o.ds, not only did he completely stabilize his cultivation base, but he was also close to becoming a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds. Despite that, he remained rather calm.
‘I’m so close to becoming a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds… I hope I can continue to ride on the momentum and achieve another breakthrough…’
…
Ten days later, a terrifying energy suddenly burst forth from the remote area where Duan Ling Tian was cultivating temporarily.
The weaker demon beasts and cultivators nearby fled immediately as soon as they sensed the terrifying energy.
At the same time, the Lords of G.o.ds nearby were naturally more perceptive and could sense the aura clearly.
“Someone has just broken through and become an Emperor of G.o.ds!”
“It’s the aura of a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds. However, since that person just achieved a breakthrough, his cultivation base is still unstable…”
“Since he or she has just become an Emperor of G.o.ds, it means that an emperor-grade secret realm is going to open up soon! I must report this to the sect leader immediately!”
“The secret realm! I’ll be greatly rewarded if I bring this piece of news to the City Governor!”
“The emperor-grade secret realm is opening soon! I must find a way to inform the Emperors of G.o.ds. I’m sure I’ll be rewarded once they verify the matter!”
In this world constructed in the Trial of G.o.ds, the person who broke through and became an Emperor of G.o.ds would be rewarded by heaven and earth with an emperor-grade secret realm.
Duan Ling Tian was unaware of this matter beforehand. However, the mountain range he was in began to collapse.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Duan Ling Tian quickly flew up into the sky Duan Ling Tian as he watched the mountain range collapse. In fact, he was slightly anxious. The force was overwhelmingly strong that for a brief moment, he thought he was going to die. Soon after, he was shocked to discover that he was completely unharmed. He quickly extended his Divine Consciousness and scanned his surroundings. He found that many living beings had perished and that he was the only one who survived. It was as though the overwhelming force had deliberately only left him alive.
At this time, a message appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind regarding the emperor-grade secret realm.
Duan Ling Tian learned that heaven and earth would reward advanced Lords of G.o.ds who became rudimentary Emperors of G.o.ds with an emperor-grade secret realm. However, 20 Emperors of G.o.ds, it did not matter if they were at the rudimentary, intermediate, or advanced stage, were needed to open the emperor-grade secret realm. After that, they would be transported into the secret realm through a Transportation Formation.
Duan Ling Tian was surprised by the mysterious message that suddenly appeared in his mind. He had no doubt that the emperor-grade secret realm contained many fortuitous encounters as well.
However, he soon grew desponded.
’20 Emperors of G.o.ds? So I need another 19 Emperors of G.o.ds to open the secret realm? Where am I going to find 19 Emperors of G.o.ds?’ Duan Ling Tian lamented inwardly.
At this time, the void suddenly began to twist and ripple before a huge portal appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. It was as tall as a mountain, and 20 right palm prints were arranged in a neat fas.h.i.+on on the portal.
‘So 20 Emperors of G.o.ds have to place their right hands on the palm prints and extend their Divine Consciousnesses to open the secret realm…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after another message appeared in hismind.
‘These messages must have come from the supreme powerhouses… Since an emperor-grade secret realm will appear when someone becomes a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds, does this mean that a supreme-grade secret realm will appear when an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds becomes a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d? Similarly, will a lord-grade secret realm appear if a rudimentary King of G.o.ds becomes a rudimentary Lord of G.o.ds?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly.
At the same time, a figure in the distance was flying toward Duan Ling Tian at a high speed. In just a moment, the figure appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. The figure belonged to a middle-aged man dressed in a long blue robe. He frowned as he looked at Duan Ling Tian, and he asked condescendingly, “Boy, did this emperor-grade secret realm appear because of your breakthrough into the realm of a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds?”
Duan Ling Tian sized up the middle-aged man. He had already sensed the middle-aged man’s presence before the middle-aged man appeared. The middle-aged man was an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds. Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he contemplated on whether he should kill the arrogant middle-aged man now or wait until the middle-aged man helped him to open the emperor-grade secret realm. After a few breaths, he finally decided to spare the middle-aged man’s life for now. It was not easy to gather 20 Emperors of G.o.ds, after all.
‘An intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds… Is he from the Divine Spirit Mansion’s city? If so, it might not be difficult to gather 20 Emperors of G.o.ds as long as news of my breakthrough spreads quickly enough,’ Duan Ling Tian speculated inwardly. He was not far from the city of the Divine Spirit Mansion now.
Duan Ling Tian knew that there were many Emperors of G.o.ds in the Divine Spirit Mansion’s city. Moreover, even the cities in the vicinity of the Divine Spirit Mansionhad many rudimentary Emperors of G.o.ds. There were also many Emperors of G.o.ds in the wilderness, but it would be difficult to gather them since they were scattered in different places.
Seeing Duan Ling Tian’s lack of response, the middle-aged man grew indignant. After all, in his eyes, the other party was just a new rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds while he was an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds. How could he not feel furious and embarra.s.sed after being ignored by someone he deemed inferior to him?
“Brat, did you hear my question?”
“Shut up if you want to stay alive,” Duan Ling Tian said casually.
The middle-aged man was stunned and speechless by Duan Ling Tian’s audacious reply. However, before he could regain his senses, a streak of golden light appeared as the sound of laughter rang in the air.
Following that, a young man, who obviously comprehended the law of metal, appeared. He smiled disdainfully at the blue-clad middle-aged man as he said, “Tan Wu, I didn’t expect to see a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds threaten you. Moreover, he’s just a new rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds.”
After the young man finished speaking, the smile of disdain on his face widened even more.
