Chapter 4182: Second Place


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


After leaving the mountain range, Duan Ling Tian wandered around the area while keeping an eye on the ranking list. There were no changes in Lang Chun Yuan’s points so far as the points of the partic.i.p.ants rapidly changed. After some time, he discovered that some of the names on the ranking list had disappeared. Clearly, those partic.i.p.ants had died; they were either killed by other partic.i.p.ants or the inhabitants of Destiny Canyon.


‘The Destiny Canyon is just like a smaller Trial of G.o.ds…’


After wandering for about half a day, Duan Ling Tian ran into another person. Based on the other person’s cautious behavior, he knew the other person was not an inhabitant of Destiny Canyon like the villagers and bandits he encountered previously.


‘I wonder how strong he is… Should I test his strength?’


Duan Ling Tian was aware that some of the advanced Emperors of G.o.ds from the various Divine Kingdoms were demi Supreme G.o.ds. Apart from some of them, most of them were no match for him. After considering it for a while, he decided to test the strength of the advanced Emperor of G.o.ds. After all, even if the other person was a demi Supreme G.o.d and was stronger than him, it would not be a problem for him to escape with his Double Teleportation Profundity from the law of s.p.a.ce. The Double Teleportation Profundity’s speed was even faster than the law of wind, after all.


!!


Swoos.h.!.+


When Duan Ling Tian casually flew past the cautious advanced Emperor of G.o.ds, who was a middle-aged man, he recognized Duan Ling Tian immediately.


‘It’s Duan Ling Tian from the Righteous Divine Kingdom!’


The middle-aged man knew that Duan Ling Tian was the only rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds from the Righteous Divine Kingdom to partic.i.p.ate in the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms. He also knew that Duan Ling Tian was capable of killing advanced Emperors of G.o.ds despite only being a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds. He had previously Duan Ling Tian’s recordings hence he was aware of these things. He was not confident about his victory if he fought Duan Ling Tian although Duan Ling Tian’s opponent at that time was weaker than him and did not use his prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.


‘I better not provoke him since I might not be able to kill him… He wouldn’t be so famous if he’s weak…’


The middle-aged man knew that many people doubted Duan Ling Tian’s strength. In fact, many advanced Emperors of G.o.ds from his Divine Kingdom, the Crimson Origin Divine Kingdom, even boasted that they would kill Duan Ling Tian if they ran into him in Destiny Canyon.


“w.a.n.g Jin… It’s me.”


Just as the middle-aged man was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice calling out to him.


A gust of wind blew past, and a figure appeared.


“Liu Yi?” the middle-aged exclaimed, slightly surprised.


Similar to w.a.n.g Jin, the middle-aged man, the newcomer, Liu Yi, was also from the Crimson Origin Divine Kingdom. He and w.a.n.g Jin were also on par with each other.


Liu Yi smiled as he looked at the purple-clad young man who was flying leisurely in the distance and said, “w.a.n.g Jin, that’s Duan Ling Tian from the Righteous Divine Kingdom. Why don’t we join forces and kill him?”


w.a.n.g Jin was naturally moved by Liu Yi’s suggestion, but he still remained cautious. However, he soon remembered that Duan Ling Tian was just a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds. He said, “We won’t get points for killing him. The rewards would be doubled, but they’re useless to us…”


The rewards they would receive for killing someone with a lower cultivation base were negligible. Moreover, since the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms had just started, Duan Ling Tian would not have gained many points, which meant that they would not gain points from him.


Liu Yi was briefly stunned by w.a.n.g Jin’s words. Then, he said with a wry smile, “I forgot that he’s just a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds…” After a moment, his eyes flashed as he said, “Let me check how many points he has acc.u.mulated so far. He’s still worth killing if he has acc.u.mulated a lot of points…”


After a moment, the corners of Liu Yi’s lips twitched when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s name at the bottom of the ranking.


“Duan Ling Tian is really pathetic. He only gained one point?”


Upon hearing Liu Yi’s words, w.a.n.g Jin completely discarded the idea of making a move on Duan Ling Tian. Even if they could defeat Duan Ling Tian after joining forces, the cons outweighed the pros. They might even be injured, which would affect them negatively if they ran into other partic.i.p.ants.


“It’s not worth it… Let’s search for another target,” Liu Yi said, losing interest as well after discovering they would not gain anything by killing Duan Ling Tian.


Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian finally discovered Liu Yi’s presence.


‘There are two of them?’


Based on their interaction, it was clear to Duan Ling Tian that the duo was familiar with each other.


When Duan Ling Tian saw the duo looking at him briefly before making a move to leave, he could not help but wonder inwardly, ‘Do they disdain to fight me or do they lack the confidence to fight me? They must disdain to fight me… However, this also means that there’s a high chance that they’re not demi Supreme G.o.ds…’


In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, if the duo was demi Supreme G.o.ds, they would definitely try to kill him to eliminate the compet.i.tion even if they would not gain points or rewards by doing so. However, it was also possible that the duo was luring him into a trap.


After a.s.sessing the situation, Duan Ling Tian felt confident that the duo was not demi Supreme G.o.ds. Demi Supreme G.o.ds did not need to work together since they were strong enough to act alone, which also meant that they did not have to share the benefits.


Following that, Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate and teleported over.


The two men were shocked when Duan Ling Tian appeared in front of them. Not only did they not expect him to discover them, but they also did not expect him to have the courage to stop them.


The two men’s expressions darkened immediately, and they did not hesitate to bring out their prominent divine artifacts and mobilize their Divine Energies.


Without saying a word, Duan Ling Tian brought the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword out and charged toward the duo. He cast the law of s.p.a.ce, the Mastery Dao, and the Sword Dao at the same time. His methods were simple but powerful, and he easily overwhelmed the two advanced Emperors of G.o.ds.


It did not take long for the duo to discover that they were in a disadvantageous position.


Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+


A spatial storm began to rage before countless sword rays shot out, easily destroying the duo’s attacks. During the second round of confrontation, they finally realized that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the Mastery Dao. Earlier, they had a.s.sumed that Duan Ling Tian’s attack came from the law of s.p.a.ce alone and that his attacks were powerful due to his profound comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce.


Boom!


The duo did not even have a chance to speak before Duan Ling Tian attacked for the third time.


“Duan…”


One of them was just about to call out to Duan Ling Tian to plead for mercy when a grey sword ray fell from the sky, killing him.


In the next moment, the other person died as well.


With just three moves, Duan Ling Tian killed two advanced Emperors of G.o.ds. The duo’s strength was comparable to that of Cheng Yan, his previous opponent during the compet.i.tion to select the interim Mansion Master of the Righteous Divine Kingdom’s Divine Spirit Mansion.


‘The rewards for killing are doubled in Destiny Canyon… This means that the rewards I’ll receive for killing those two are equivalent to the rewards of killing four advanced Emperors of G.o.ds… I wonder how many points I gained by killing them…’


Duan Ling Tian checked his points on the ranking. To his disappointment, he discovered that he only had 11 points. However, in the next moment, he saw that he had gained 200 points. With that, his name rose to second place with 211 points. Not only that, but his points continued to increase every few dozen breaths until they finally stopped at 236 points.


‘These must be the points that both of them acc.u.mulated…’ Duan Ling Tian smiled happily as he thought to himself, ‘I’ll be able to catch up to Fourth Senior Sister soon! For now, I should focus on absorbing the energy from the rewards. Even if I can’t break through after absorbing the energy, I should be on the brink of a breakthrough!’



While Duan Ling Tian prepared to cultivate, the partic.i.p.ants from the various Divine Kingdoms who kept an eye on the ranking were shocked when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s name rising to second place.
