4441 The Green Flame Saber King?
Duan Ling Tian did not worry about his family and friends due to Huan’er’s presence. Apart from his family and friends, he was the only one who knew their whereabouts. Even his master, Feng Qing Yang, did not know their whereabouts. As such, he was also not worried about someone finding them and using them to threaten him into handing over the liquid from the divine fountain he won on the God Defying World’s Realm Battlefield.
However, soon enough, Duan Ling Tian thought of a worrying problem.
“Huan’er’s strength improved so quickly because of that mysterious energy, and I speculated that it was from a powerful beast supreme powerhouse. However, there’s no free lunch in this world. That beast supreme powerhouse had gone to great difficulties to nurture Huan’er… It’s possible that there are hidden dangers or conditions…”
It was undoubtedly amazing that Huan’er’s strength had increased so greatly. However, if his speculation was right, then it was truly worrying. Nothing came for free after all. Now that she obtained such great strength in such a short amount of time, what kind of price would she have to pay? Before he left, there was nothing amiss, but who knew what would happen in the future?
‘No matter who it is… If they dare to harm Huan’er, I won’t let them go!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. His eyes glinted coldly as he thought about the possible hidden dangers behind Huan’er sudden and rapid increase in strength. However, he also knew that it was impossible for him to protect her now unless he was a World Supreme Powerhouse.
“The next stop is… Linked Solitary Realm!”
The Linked Solitary Realm was one of the 36 Realms in the Outer Boundary. It was adjacent to the Divine Sand Realm, and unlike the Divine Sand Realm that was at the periphery of the Outer Boundary, it was closer to the heart of the Outer Boundary. It was also more powerful than the Divine Sand Realm.
The number of supreme powerhouses in the Linked Solitary Realm was not necessarily higher than the number of supreme powerhouses in the Divine Sand Realm; it might even be smaller. However, their strength lay in quality, not quantity. In the Divine Sand Realm, there were only a handful of powerful people like Chi Ming and Situ Lei, but in the Linked Solitary Realm, there were no fewer than ten supreme powerhouses like Chi Ming and Situ Lei. Moreover, in the Linked Solitary Realm, those below the realm of supreme powerhouses were also stronger than those in the Divine Sand Realm. Due to its proximity to the heart of the Outer Boundary, the cultivation of the people in the Linked Solitary Realm was better than that of those in the Divine Sand Realm, which was at the periphery of the Divine Sand Realm.
Duan Ling Tian did not have any specific things to do in the Linked Solitary Realm. It was just one of the stops he had to make on his way to his destination, which was one of the three Realms in the heart of the Outer Boundary.
The true powerhouses in the Outer Boundary were mostly gathered in the three Realms in the heart of the Outer Boundary. Even powerhouses from other Realms would usually go to those three Realms. The three Realms were also known as the Three Great Sacred Realms of the Outer Boundary.
‘There are 36 Realms in the Outer Boundary. There are 18 Realms in the periphery of the Outer Boundary, and a little closer to the center are 9 Realms, including the Linked Solitary Realm. Even closer to the center are another 6 Realms, and finally, at the center, there are the Three Great Sacred Realms…’
Duan Ling Tian’s destination in the Outer Boundary was one of the Three Great Sacred Realms. These three Realms were widely acknowledged as the places with most fortuitous encounters. It was even said that these places were favored by the heavens.
‘My destination is one of the Three Great Sacred Realms. Starting from the Divine Sand Realm, I’ll go to the Linked Solitary Realm and the Peaceful Might Realm… This is the shortest route to my destination…’
‘The 36 Realms, especially the Three Great Sacred Realms, are fraught with danger. However, there’s no realm that can surpass the Three Great Sacred Realms in terms of fortuitous encounters and opportunities… The three realms have many natural secret realms and trials, and most importantly, they have supreme treasures. It’s said that the divine fountain, which liquid I obtained, was found in one of the Three Great Sacred Realms…’
Duan Ling Tian had learned about this from the supreme powerhouse of the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land. That supreme powerhouse had also told him that it was best for him to go to one of the Three Great Sacred Realms. After all, the danger in the other Realms was not much less compared to the Three Great Sacred Realms, but there were not many fortuitous encounters, opportunities, and treasures there. Nonetheless, the Three Great Sacred Realms were still the most dangerous Realms. In any case, due to how dangerous these Realms were, in the God Defying World, only those in and above the realm of advanced Supreme Gods would go to the Outer Boundary.
“According to the ancestor of the Xia clan, the Transportation Formations in the God Defying World directly lead to one of the Three Great Sacred Realms. This is because the God Defying World is a relatively strong World. On the other hand, the Transportation Formations in the weaker Worlds will only bring one to one of the 33 Realms, not the Three Great Sacred Realms,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself with a wry smile, “Just as my luck would have it, I was transported to the Realm at the periphery of the Outer Boundary… For this reason, my journey to the Three Great Sacred Realm is a little longer…”
“In the God Defying World, once someone becomes an advanced Supreme God, there’ll be a record of it. After that, they’ll be sent to the Outer Boundary to carry out their duties in the God Defying World’s base in the Three Great Sacred Realms. Some people stay for a long time in the Outer Boundary due to their tasks. Those who’ve completed their duty can also choose to stay in the Outer Boundary…”
…
Swoosh!
The flying ship that carried Duan Ling Tian flew northwest at an extremely fast speed, leaving the Divine Sand Realm for the Linked Solitary Realm.
Duan Ling Tian closed his eyes and cultivated in the ship as the battle of two supreme powerhouses flashed in his mind. It was the battle recorded in the Floating Image Pearl that Situ Lei, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint, had given him.
One of the peerless top advanced Supreme Gods wielded a prime divine artifact and also used the Mastery Dao, one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. Although his law had yet to reach the paramount stage, he was still much stronger than anyone below the realm of supreme powerhouses whom Duan Ling Tian had met. Even Duan Ling Tian did not think he could defeat him.
‘If I were to face him, even with my Sword Dao that is much stronger than his Mastery Dao, at most, I’ll be able to fight to a draw with him,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
As for the other peerless top advanced Supreme God, he did not use any weapons or the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. He only used his law of space, and that was enough to suppress his opponent.
When the peerless top advanced Supreme God who comprehended the law of space moved, the space would shake in his wake and spatial cracks would appear. With just a thought, the space around his opponent began to distort, forming a terrifying force that imprisoned his opponent. In just a blink of an eye, he defeated his opponent.
“So strong!”
Although this was not the first time that Duan Ling Tian viewed the recording, he was still shocked by how powerful the peerless top advanced Supreme God, who comprehended the law of space, was. It was just a sparring session; if it were a life-or-death battle, the opponent would have died countless times over.
However, because it was just a sparring session, the peerless top advanced Supreme God did not go all out when fighting. However, it was still a great help to Duan Ling Tian.
‘Floating Image Pearls that contain the life-or-death battles between peerless top advanced Supreme Gods or peerless top advanced Supreme God and projections of supreme powerhouses are much more valuable…’
Duan Ling Tian continued to replay the scenes of the battle of the peerless top advanced Supreme God who comprehended the law of space in his mind, studying the changes in the surrounding space as the other party moved. He vaguely felt like he had understood something.
Duan Ling Tian was so immersed in this that he lost all track of time. It was not until he heard the World Cleansing Divine Water’s voice that he returned to his senses.
“Little Tian, someone’s tailing you,” the World Cleansing Divine Water said solemnly, “It seems like he harbors bad intentions…”
Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes and saw a black dot that gradually grew bigger and bigger in the flying ship’s mirror image. In just a moment, he saw that the other party was a man dressed in a loose black robe. Green flames burned around the other party’s body, and he was like a saber as he flew over, looking as though he was going to cleave the world in two.
“The law of fire, but with green flames? I can sense the Saber Dao as well,” Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath.
When the other party drew closer, Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as the figure of a person he had only met once appeared in his mind.
Upon recognizing the other party, Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself, “It seems like the Green Billow City’s Meng clan doesn’t intend to let ‘Li Feng’ go for marrying Wang Luo Yu… I’m afraid the only person who can make the Green Flame Saber King personally take action is the new supreme powerhouse from the Meng clan!”
