4260 The Phenomenon of the Law That s.h.i.+nes for a Million Miles
Ning Yi Xuan was stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s words. “You’ve never heard of me, Ning Yi Xuan?”
In Ning Yi Xuan’s opinion, most, if not all, people from the Realms of G.o.ds should have heard of him due to his shocking innate talent and comprehension skills. This was especially true for Supreme G.o.ds. He had never met anyone who did not know him until he met Duan Ling Tian. For a moment, he thought that he was dreaming. He was not even 4,000 years old, but he was already a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d. This was almost unprecedented in the Realms of G.o.ds. He was the only one in this generation. There were very few like him in the history of the Realms of G.o.ds. Among the supreme powerhouses he knew, none of them had become a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d before reaching the age of 4,000. In the past, even the Divine Offering Land’s most brilliant female prodigy, the Xia clan’s Xia Ning Xue, became a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d when she was over 4,000 years old. At that time, her achievements had shocked the Divine Offering Land and even spread to the Sanction Land. As such, everyone who was not in closed-door cultivation knew him, who was even more outstanding than Xia Ning Xue.
‘Is he pretending?’ Ning Yi Xuan stared at Duan Ling Tian intently, trying to catch even the slightest change in Duan Ling Tian’s expression. He thought it was impossible that Duan Ling Tian had never heard of him. He was a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d comparable to an intermediate Supreme G.o.d; most weak intermediate Supreme G.o.ds were no match for him at all.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian said with an expression of enlightenment on his face, “So your name is Ning Yi Xuan.”
Ning Yi Xuan, still convinced that Duan Ling Tian was pretending not to know him, said, “Why don’t you introduce yourself? I’m really curious about your ident.i.ty since you’re able to remain calm when facing me.”
!!
Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile on his face, “Me? I’m just a n.o.body. My name is Duan Ling Tian. You wouldn’t have heard of me in the Sanction Land.”
Duan Ling Tian was famous in the Profound Energy Land. However, the Sanction Land was located far away from the Sanction Land. Even when the chaotic region opened, the Divine Offering Land would not be one of the Realms of G.o.ds connected to the chaotic region on the Divine Sanction Battlefield.
“Duan Ling Tian?”
Contrary to expectations, Ning Yi Xuan was stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s name. His eyes widened slightly as he recalled the rumors he heard from the Profound Energy Land.
Although the spatial pa.s.sages between the Realms of G.o.ds were still closed, Supreme G.o.ds could still travel between the Realms of G.o.ds through the Realm Battlefield. Powerful advanced Supreme G.o.ds could tear through s.p.a.ce to another Realm of G.o.ds on the Realm Battlefield.
This was how the rumors from the Profound Energy Land spread to Ning Yi Xuan’s ears.
According to the rumors Ning Yi Xuan heard, a peerless and monstrous prodigy had appeared in the Profound Energy Land. The other party became an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds before even reaching 1,000 years old. This feat alone had surpa.s.sed Ning Yi Xuan’s achievement. When Ning Yi Xuan was younger than 1,000 years old, he was just a Lord of G.o.ds. When he became a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds, he was already 1,800 years old.
Perhaps, most people would be dismissive of the rumors, but the rumors were deeply engraved in Ning Yi Xuan’s mind. He even sent someone to the Profound Energy Land to verify the rumors. In the end, he confirmed that someone, who was not even 1,000 years old, had greatly surpa.s.sed him. Even so, at that time, he did not think it was a big deal. After all, becoming an Emperor of G.o.ds and becoming a Supreme G.o.d were two very different matters. However, at this moment, he was shocked that the person in front of him, Duan Ling Tian the monstrous prodigy from the Profound Energy Land who became an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds before the age of 1,000, was now a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d.
‘Impossible! He’s native of the Divine Offering Land!’
After a moment, Ning Yi Xuan quickly dismissed his earlier thoughts about Duan Ling Tian being the monstrous prodigy from the Profound Energy Land. It crossed his mind that Duan Ling Tian could simply enter the Divine Sanction Battlefield and travel to the Divine Offering Land before coming into the Divine Sanction Battlefield again. However, he was unwilling to give credit to that theory. After all, if the purple-clad young man in front of him was the Profound Energy Land’s Duan Ling Tian, then the purple-clad young man would have thoroughly broken his record of being the fastest person to become a Supreme G.o.d. He could not accept this so he kept convincing himself that the person in front of him was not the Profound Energy Land’s Duan Ling Tian.
“It seems like you’ve heard of me,” Duan Ling Tian said with a teasing smile on his face when he discovered the slight change in Ning Yi Xuan’s expression.
Ning Yi Xuan, who had no intention of asking if Duan Ling Tian was from the Profound Energy Land, was shocked. He exclaimed, “You’re truly from the Profound Energy Land?”
In fact, Duan Ling Tian was also surprised and puzzled that Ning Yi Xuan had heard of him. He wondered if he was really so famous that even those from the Sanction Land had heard of him. He was naturally unaware that Ning Yi Xuan, unlike everyone else, had paid attention to the rumors of a monstrous prodigy from the Profound Energy Land because Ning Yi Xuan was a monstrous prodigy as well; Ning Yi Xuan would naturally pay attention to other monstrous prodigies from the other Realms of G.o.ds, especially those who were rumored to have surpa.s.sed him.
“What’s with your expression?” Ning Yi Xuan asked when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s reaction. He asked again, unconsciously raising his voice, “Are you really from the Profound Energy Land?”
Ning Yi Xuan still had a hard time accepting this.
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian replied nonchalantly, “If you’re asking if I’m Duan Ling Tian from the Profound Energy Land’s Myriad Laws Academy, then the answer is yes.”
‘It’s really him!’ Ning Yi Xuan shuddered inwardly. Then, he said in a slightly trembling voice, “Didn’t you just become an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds not too long ago? How did you become a Supreme G.o.d in such a short time?”
Ning Yi Xuan had probed Duan Ling Tian and discovered that Duan Ling Tian was already a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d. He could sense the instability of Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Energy. With this, it was clear that Duan Ling Tian had just broken through not long ago and had yet to stabilize his cultivation base. There was no doubt in his mind now that the person in front of him was Duan Ling Tian, the monstrous prodigy from the Profound Energy Land.
Duan Ling Tian smiled lightly and said, “I have a few fortuitous encounters on the Realm Battlefield. I have to say that I’m really surprised that someone from the faraway Sanction Land has heard of me.”
A complicated expression appeared on Ning Yi Xuan’s face as he stared at Duan Ling Tian. After a moment, he asked, unresigned, “Duan Ling Tian, tell me the truth… Did you really not hear about me before?”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “No matter how many times you ask, my answer is the same. I’ve really not heard of you before. Are you really famous, or do you think you’re famous?”
Naturally, Ning Yi Xuan was really famous. It was just that Duan Ling Tian was one of the very few people who had never heard of Ning Yi Xuan. Perhaps, he would have heard of Ning Yi Xuan if he had joined another heavyweight supreme-rank force. However, in the Myriad Laws Academy, his senior sisters and his senior brothers were all monstrous prodigies in their own right. Although Ning Yi Xuan was truly a monstrous prodigy, he still paled in comparison to Duan Ling Tian’s Third Senior Brother in the Inner Palace faction, Yang Yu Chen.
Moreover, no matter how heaven-defying one’s innate talent was, it would be in vain if one could not grow into one’s potential. There were many monstrous prodigies who showed extraordinary innate talent in the beginning but ended up mediocre in the end.
Meanwhile, Ning Yi Xuan was naturally furious when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He said with a frown, “Duan Ling Tian, I heard that you’re so strong that you can even defeat opponents whose cultivation bases are a level higher than yours. Although you just became a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d, I won’t underestimate you and treat you as an ordinary rudimentary Supreme G.o.d. Moreover, you’ve been on the Realm Battlefield for fewer than a hundred years… If I’m not mistaken, your strength should be comparable to weaker intermediate Supreme G.o.ds. Nonetheless, I, Ning Yi Xuan, will kill you today! Even if I exhaust my energy and don’t benefit from it, it’ll be worth it if I can kill a monstrous prodigy like you!”
Ning Yi Xuan’s eyes shone with killing intent at the end of his words. At the same time, a terrifying Divine Energy that had been imbued with the law of life surged out of his body.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned solemn when he saw Ning Yi Xuan’s law of life’s phenomenon that shone for a million miles.
