4312 Huge Rewards
It was beyond Lei Tong Shan’s expectations that the person in front of him was Duan Ling Tian’s senior brother. He had heard quite a bit about Duan Ling Tian so he knew that if the person in front of him was Duan Ling Tian’s senior brother, the person had to be Yang Yu Chen or Hong Yi Feng from the Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction in the Profound Energy Land.
Based on the clothing and the temperament of the person in front of him and thinking of the rumors he had heard before, it was not difficult for him to figure out that the person in front of him was Yang Yu Chen.
‘Wait…’
Suddenly, Lei Tong Shan thought of a problem. He, like most people, learned about the Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction because of Duan Ling Tian. Based on what he had heard, he remembered that Yang Yu Chen was only a little stronger than him. He also heard that Yang Yu Chen could only manifest a faint phenomenon of the law that shone for a hundred thousand miles. He had thought that Yang Yu Chen was only stronger than him because of Yang Yu Chen’s Mastery Dao.
!!
However, today, Lei Tong Shan realized that the rumors he had heard about Yang Yu Chen’s strength were a description of Yang Yu Chen’s strength in the past. Currently, Yang Yu Chen was very powerful even among top intermediate Supreme G.o.ds. Even prodigious intermediate Supreme G.o.ds who could manifest phenomena of the laws that could s.h.i.+ne for ten million miles might not be stronger than Yang Yu Chen unless they had also comprehended one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to a certain level or possessed another powerful means.
Lei Tong Shan was far weaker than Yang Yu Chen now. He knew that Yang Yu Chen could kill him within a few moves.
After a moment, Lei Tong Shang took a deep breath to calm down and stopped his body from trembling. Then, he cupped his fists together at Yang Yu Chen and said, “Sir Yang, although my junior brothers and I planned to kill your junior brother, we failed after all. You’ve killed my junior brothers, and they deserved it. As for me, I’m willing to give you everything I have as long as you spare my life. What do you think?”
Lei Tong Shan was even more certain that Yang Yu Chen was going to kill him after discovering that Yang Yu Chen was Duan Ling Tian’s senior brother. As such, he no longer dared to speak nonsense and did not conceal his intention to kill Duan Ling Tian. After all, Yang Yu Chen would not believe him. It was better for him to be honest and see if he could get Yang Yu Chen to spare his life in exchange for all his possessions.
“No.”
Lei Tong Shan’s expression fell when he heard Yang Yu Chen’s refusal. In just a moment, energy burst forth from his body, and he fled.
Alas, although Lei Tong Shan was fast, Yang Yu Chen was faster. In just a moment, Yang Yu Chen easily regained control of the situation.
Lei Tong Shan was stronger than his junior brothers, but he was too weak in front of Yang Yu Chen. In fewer than three breaths, he was already on the brink of death.
“Yang Yu Chen, if you kill me, you’ll definitely regret it. I am…”
At the critical moment, Lei Tong Shan decided to reveal his ident.i.ty to threaten Yang Yu Chen. It was the only thing he could think of at this moment.
However, Yang Yu Chen did not allow Lei Tong Shan to finish his words. He said, “Shut up. Do you think people will find out that I kill you?”
Even if the supreme powerhouse overseeing the area was aware that Yang Yu Chen killed Lei Tong Shan, it was unlikely that the supreme powerhouse would reveal it to the supreme powerhouse whom Lei Tong Shan knew unless the supreme powerhouse was familiar with Lei Tong Shan’s supreme powerhouse, which was very unlikely.
Moreover, Yang Yu Chen was certain that Lei Tong Shan did not have a close connection with the supreme powerhouse. Otherwise, Lei Tong Shan would have a life-saving jade token.
For this reason, Yang Yu Chen decisively killed Lei Tong Shan. After killing the three intermediate Supreme G.o.ds, he did not seem happy. Instead, his expression was rather solemn.
“I hope junior brother will be more careful… Currently, not only are the rudimentary and intermediate Supreme G.o.ds searching for him, but the advanced Supreme G.o.ds are searching for him as well… Many of those advanced Supreme G.o.ds are rather outstanding as well…”
Even Yang Yu Chen could only kill an ordinary advanced Supreme G.o.d. Top advanced Supreme G.o.ds could easily squash him as though he was an ant.
…
Duan Ling Tian who had fled naturally did not know that the three intermediate Supreme G.o.ds who were chasing after him had been killed by his Third Senior Brother, Yang Yu Chen. He was only focused on escaping the danger.
When he was discovered by the four intermediate Supreme G.o.ds, he had killed one of them. Unfortunately, at the moment of the intermediate Supreme G.o.d’s death, the intermediate Supreme G.o.d had called out his name. As such, he knew it would draw everyone to the area, and it was imperative that he left this area.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian wished that he could enter the deca-secret realm that he had opened so he could take refuge in the secret realm. After leaving the secret realm, it was highly likely that he would be transported to another area.
‘It’s better not to fly. I should continue to hide as I move…’
Duan Ling Tian crossed mountains and rivers with unrivaled agility, avoiding many people in the sky. He could sense many people’s Divine Consciousness as he moved.
“More and more people are showing up…”
It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to notice the increase in the number of people searching for him. After all, everyone was searching the area after hearing the commotion.
The situation was becoming more and more dangerous for Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian had yet to recover from his mental exhaustion, and yet, he had been fleeing for many days. If he were to engage in a fight now, perhaps, he might not even be a match for the four intermediate Supreme G.o.ds he encountered previously.
Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian heard an exclamation of surprise.
“There’s someone over there! He’s not wearing a purple robe, but based on his sneaky behavior, he might be Duan Ling Tian!”
Indeed, Duan Ling Tian was not wearing his purple robe now. However, he did not change his appearance. With so many powerhouses searching for him, they could easily see through his disguise using their Divine Consciousness.
Unlike before, everyone was searching with their Divine Consciousness now without caring if they would offend people. At this time, everyone was doing the same thing to search for Duan Ling Tian. As such, everyone used their Divine Consciousness freely to probe others.
Under such circ.u.mstances, Duan Ling Tian keenly felt the danger. At this time, he truly understood the saying that the nail that stuck out would get hammered.
‘It seems that I’ve stood out too much recently… However, if I keep hiding my strength, it’ll be impossible for me to gain everything I have today…’
Duan Ling Tian did not regret his decision. After all, his strength would not have improved so quickly if he kept a low profile all the time. With his current strength, he was confident about killing most intermediate Supreme G.o.ds, and he was not even afraid of top intermediate Supreme G.o.ds. Even if he could not kill an intermediate Supreme G.o.d, he was confident his opponent could not defeat and kill him as well. He was already so powerful even though he had yet to stabilize his cultivation base.
‘There’s still a long way to go before I can stabilize my cultivation base. I hope that after entering a few secret realms, I’ll be able to quickly stabilize my cultivation base. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to continue staying in the advanced chaotic region…’
After learning about the overall ranking, Duan Ling Tian knew that he was going to become an eyesore to many people. However, he did not expect the situation would be so grim.
‘Don’t they have to acc.u.mulate battle merits and chaotic points? Do they not care? Do they only want to kill me for the pleasure of it?’
Duan Ling Tian felt rather speechless when he thought about the number of people who were out to kill him. He wondered if they had nothing better to do. After all, he was certain most of these people did not have hope at all to rank in the top three of the overall ranking and most of them likely did not have connections to anyone who could rank in the top three of the overall ranking.
…
Duan Ling Tian was unaware that multiple bounties had been placed on him in the advanced chaotic region.
If one recorded the process of killing Duan Ling Tian using a Floating Image Pearl, one could claim a huge reward for killing Duan Ling Tian. One could claim not just one but all rewards from the multiple bounties that were placed on Duan Ling Tian, and the bounties were increasing by the day. In short, one could claim a lot of rewards after killing Duan Ling Tian.
“Kill Duan Ling Tian and remember to record the process with a Floating Image Pearl. Then, you can claim the rewards with the Floating Image Pearl. You’ll be rewarded with a life-saving jade token from a supreme powerhouse. With it, you can obtain the help of a supreme powerhouse outside of the Realm Battlefield.”
“Record the process when you kill Duan Ling Tian. After we confirm that the recording from the Floating Image Pearl is not fake, you’ll receive three fragments of prime divine artifacts!”
“Kill Duan Ling Tian…”
All kinds of rewards were offered in the bounties that appeared in the various base camps in the advanced chaotic region.
The people who placed the bounties on Duan Ling Tian’s head were, without exception, from prime supreme-rank forces in the various Realms of G.o.ds or descendants of sectless supreme powerhouses.
