Selfishness was ingrained in most people. Wu Hong Qing, the Temple Master of the Title Temple, naturally did not want Ji You, the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven, to know that Duan Ling Tian possessed all Five Divine Elements. Even if, however unlikely, Ji You was not interested in the Five Divine Elements, there were risks that the information would leak. There was no lack of people who coveted the Five Divine Elements.
Wu Hong Qing knew Ji You had the support of a force from a Realm of Gods. If Ji You learned about Duan Ling Tian’s Five Divine Elements, Ji You would definitely inform his backers about this matter once the connection between the Devata Realms and the Realms of Gods was restored.
Wu Hong Qing glanced at Ji You as he replied, “So what if they’re people capable of restraining Duan Ling Tian? Do you think they’d easily obey you? Moreover, how are you going to find them? Those who possess Divine Elements stay anonymous and don’t go around announcing the fact that they possess the Divine Elements.”
Ji You fell silent upon hearing Wu Hong Qing’s words. Indeed. Although there were definitely Nine Star Gods of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield who possessed the Divine Elements, how was he going to find them when he did not know who they were? If he knew who they were, he would have snatched their Divine Elements away from them a long time ago. The Five Divine Elements were so precious that even someone like him who had attained godhood could not remain indifferent to them.
Soon after, Ji You’s eyes lit up as though he had just recalled something. Then, he said, “Even if I can’t find those people to deal with Duan Ling Tian, now that news of Duan Ling Tian’s prominent divine artifact has spread, those people will definitely search for Duan Ling Tian on their own accord. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian did not bother to hide the fact that he’s staying in the Given Alliance. I’m sure many people would look for him to obtain his prominent divine artifact!”
Despite his words, Ji You felt slightly unwilling. After all, Duan Ling Tian’s divine artifact was supposed to be his! How could he remain unaffected by the thought of someone else taking the divine artifact? Nevertheless, he thought it would be fine as long as Duan Ling Tian died. With that, he would at least be able to avenge his two true disciples.
…
The Wandering Heaven, one of the 81 Devata Realms.
In the middle of a quiet desert, the ground suddenly trembled. The tremors grew more and more violent as huge silhouettes suddenly shot out of the ground.
These were beasts in various forms and sizes. All of them bore a flame-shaped mark on their glabellas. When they appeared, they stood in a neat line like soldiers.
Soon enough, a figure appeared in the air before them. The figure belonged to a tall and burly middle-aged man who was dressed in a long green robe. His face was as smooth as jade, and he had a domineering aura about him that intimidated many people. At this moment, his eyes shone brightly as he muttered, “He has a prominent divine artifact with an artifact soul? It has been more than 1,000 years. Finally, I have a reason to return to the Nine Serenities Battlefield. Fortunately, I’ve yet to attain godhood. Otherwise, I would’ve missed out on a golden opportunity.”
“Yan, are you confident?” the middle-aged man suddenly asked.
A voice rang in the middle-aged man’s mind immediately. “Perhaps, if I was still in my seventh form, I wouldn’t be confident. However, now that I’ve evolved into an eighth-form Chaos Divine Flame, coupled with your strength, it won’t be difficult for us to kill Duan Ling Tian and obtain his prominent divine artifact. Although a Nine Star God of War who obtained traces of the Divine Energy is able to unlock the strength of a prominent divine artifact, he or she still can’t compare to a real god. As a Divine Element, it won’t be a problem for us to deal with his prominent divine artifact…”
The middle-aged man nodded as he responded to what was clearly a Chao Divine Flame. “I agree. Moreover, you’re not far from evolving into your ninth form…”
Following that, the man opened his Little World before he said to the beasts lining up in neat rows, “My beloved pets, let’s go to the Nine Serenities Battlefield.”
The flame-shaped marks on the glabellas of the beasts glowed before they entered the middle-aged man’s Little World one after another.
“We’ll be killing a peerless genius this time. You should feel honored that you’re able to take part in this battle!”
With that, he flew at top speed toward the nearest transportation site that would bring him to the Nine Serenities Battlefield.
While he flew, he muttered under his breath, “I’m sure many of my old friends will also be tempted to enter the Nine Serenities Battlefield. It’s inevitable that we’ll fight each other for the prominent divine artifact once Duan Ling Tian dies.”
…
In a desolate mountain range in the Scaling Cloud Heaven.
The sun was setting at this moment, dyeing the sky red.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A scorching crimson energy surged high into the sky from the peak of one mountain at this moment.
Following that, blue energy shot out before shrouding the crimson energy. Just like that, the scorching energy seemed to freeze. At the same time, the temperature began to drop rapidly. A freezing energy settled on the mountain range as well as white frost began to cover the lands.
“That prominent divine artifact is mine.” A woman’s icy voice rang in the air.
At the same time, what seemed like the voice of an old man rang in the woman’s mind. “Don’t be rash. Although you have me, an eighth-form World Cleansing Divine Water, don’t forget there are many others who also possess high-form Divine Elements in the Nine Serenities Battlefield.”
The woman nodded. Her gaze flashed with determination as she said, “I know. However, I still want that prominent divine artifact. If I’m able to obtain that prominent divine artifact, my path will be smoother once I attain godhood and go to the Realm of Gods.”
“Alright. I’ll deal with the prominent divine artifact while you kill its owner,” the Divine Element said confidently.
…
In the Thirteenth Central Region of the Nine Serenities Battlefield.
“Brother.”
A voice rang in a valley at this moment.
The person said respectfully, “News of Duan Ling Tian possessing a prominent divine artifact with an artifact soul has spread beyond the Nine Serenities Battlefield. I think it’s best for you to make a move before your old friends arrive…”
The voice belonged to an ordinary-looking young man. His eyes were fixed at the courtyard in the valley, and he looked rather anxious at this moment.
Swoosh!
As soon as the young man’s voice fell, a tall and handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows appeared in the air. His expression was gentle and his smile was kind.
The ordinary young man’s eyes lit up when he saw the handsome young man. “Brother! Did you have another breakthrough? It seems like Duan Ling Tian’s prominent divine artifact is destined to fall into your hands!”
The handsome young man shook his head. “There’s no guarantee in this world. All we can do is try our best. If we’re too obsessed with this matter and fail in the end, it’ll affect our cultivation in the future and become a stumbling block on the path of attaining godhood.”
The handsome young man was also one of the Nine Star Gods of War who possessed a Divine Element. He possessed an eighth-form Profound Divine Metal. It only needed to devour a few more Profound Divine Metal before it would evolve to its ninth form.
“Stay here and wait for my good news…”
“Brother, I want to come with you!”
“No. I won’t be able to look after you when the fight starts…”
The ordinary young man could only give up after hearing these words. “Alright. Please be careful, brother!”
…
Duan Ling Tian who was in the Given Alliance base was unaware that many Nine Star Gods of War who possessed the Divine Elements were making their way to him to snatch his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
This unprecedented crisis was heading for Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian who was in the Given Alliance was unaware that this was just the calm before the storm.
