Chapter 4144: Duan Ling Tian Receives Three Rewards
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘Will I be targeted after leaving the city? My cultivation base is now in the realm of an advanced Lord of Gods. Under normal circumstances, most people won’t bother me, let alone attack me. Moreover, according to Liu Wu You, the rudimentary Emperors of Gods in the outskirts of Wu You City don’t usually kill passersby. If anything, it’s the Lords of Gods who kill a lot. However, there aren’t many advanced Lords of Gods around this part. In fact, there aren’t many strong people here. It’s meaningless to kill the weak. Apart from that, more so than killing, the advanced Lords of Gods and rudimentary Emperors of Gods in this place usually capture passersby to be sold for divine crystals.’
Duan Ling Tian learned earlier that the main currency of this world was divine crystals as well. Although divine crystals could also be used to cultivate here, people rarely did so since they could rely on the rewards when they killed to cultivate. However, since not everyone possessed the strength to kill, it was common for those with low cultivation bases to cultivate using divine crystals.
After that, Duan Ling Tian made his way to the Divine Spirit Mansion, which governed the cities, including Wu You City, for the Divine Kingdom. The Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion was an advanced Emperor of Gods.
‘There are quite a lot of people, but all of them retreated after they found out that I’m an advanced Lord of Gods…’
During Duan Ling Tian’s journey to the Divine Spirit Mansion, he found that many people wanted to target him, but they quickly dismissed the idea when they realized he was an advanced Lord of Gods.
!!
Duan Ling Tian’s journey was unimpeded until the very next day.
A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was clear that the other party had used the Teleportation Profundity. Even if it was not extremely profound, the other party’s comprehension of the law of space could not be shallow.
The figure belonged to an old man dressed in a loose long robe. He looked emaciated, and his face was ashen, but his eyes were shining brightly. He exclaimed, looking pleasantly surprised, “An advanced Lord of Gods?” Then, he added, “Surrender or suffer!”
Duan Ling Tian was briefly stunned. When he recovered, he laughed and said, “You’re just an advanced Lord of Gods as well, right? What makes you confident about beating me?”
The old man said with a sneer, “Do you think I’m alone?”
As soon as the old man’s voice fell, Duan Ling Tian heard the sound of wind whistling in the air.
Following that, another old man and a middle-aged man appeared. One shot over like a fireball while the other flew over like a gust of wind.
The trio formed a triangle in just a blink of an eye, surrounding Duan Ling Tian. Based on their Divine Energies, they were all advanced Lords of Gods.
“So it’s just the three of you? Is there anyone else? If there is, tell them to reveal themselves. Otherwise, I’m afraid just the three of you aren’t enough to do anything to me,” Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at them contemptuously with a smile on his face. He was rather hoping that there would be more advanced Lords of Gods hiding in the surroundings. The more people he killed, the more his rewards would be.
The middle-aged man scoffed. “Brat, we’ve killed many advanced Lords of Gods before you in the past few years. Some of them are arrogant just like you. Alas, all of them only had two outcomes: die or be sold like an animal! Resistance is futile!”
The middle-aged man’s expression grew even more scornful.
Similarly, the other two old men’s expressions were also one of scorn.
Finally, the old man, who showed up first, said impatiently, “Alright, cut the crap and capture him. If he puts up a fight, send him to hell!”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he charged toward Duan Ling Tian along with his companions.
The trio brought out their prominent divine artifacts and attacked without holding back.
Following that, three waves of energy with different colors swept toward Duan Ling Tian.
Seeing that the waves of energy were fast approaching Duan Ling Tian, the trio stopped attacking to avoid killing Duan Ling Tian. After all, it was best if they could capture him alive. Moreover, they saw that he was standing motionlessly with only his Divine Energy simmering above his skin.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the three waves of energy collided with Duan Ling Tian, the void shook violently.
The trio furrowed their brows, wondering if the attacks were too strong and they ended up killing Duan Ling Tian. However, it did not take long before their expressions changed after the dust settled. They saw the purple-clad Duan Ling Tian standing in front of them completely unscathed. Their expression changed again when they saw him suddenly vanishing into thin air.
Swoosh!
“No!”
Duan Ling Tian reappeared behind the old man, who comprehended the law of space, and struck him with his palm that had been imbued with his Divine Energy, the law of space, and the Mastery Dao.
Bang!
As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s palm landed gently on the old man’s back, he exploded into a mist of blood, leaving only his prominent divine artifact and spatial ring behind.
‘Hmm? It’s not a destructive spatial ring?’ Duan Ling Tian was rather surprised when he saw the old man’s intact spatial ring.
At this time, the other two men finally regained their senses. They did not hesitate at all as they fled in different directions. The only thought left in their minds was to run. At the same time, they regretted targeting Duan Ling Tian. Their greed had led them to their current predicament. Moreover, seeing that Duan Ling Tian was alone earlier only fueled their greed. Since they outnumbered him and their cultivation bases were the same, they did not think it would be difficult for them to capture him or kill him. Alas, they did not expect that they would run into an advanced Lord of Gods who was much stronger than the three of them. The two men fled for their lives frantically as terrifying thoughts flashed in their minds.
‘He hasn’t even used his prominent divine artifact yet!’
‘He’s on par with a rudimentary Emperor of Gods!’
‘Without even using a prominent divine artifact, his strength is already comparable to a rudimentary Emperor of Gods! Even the Divine Spirit Mansion doesn’t have an advanced Lord of Gods as strong as he is! Why did someone like him appear in a remote place like this?’
‘Can someone tell me what’s going on? How is it possible for an advanced Lord of Gods, who has yet to stabilize his cultivation base, be so strong?!’
At this time, a voice dripping with contempt rang in the two men’s ears.
“You’re too slow.”
Following that, the two men discovered that Duan Ling Tian had teleported twice consecutively and had already caught up to them.
‘Double Teleportation Profundity?!’
The two men fell into despair immediately. Their last ray of hope was completely snuffed out. Even in the Divine Kingdom, they never heard of any rudimentary or intermediate Emperor of Gods who had comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity. It was shocking that an advanced Lord of Gods, who had yet to stabilize his cultivation base, had already comprehended the law of space’s Double Teleportation Profundity that only an advanced Emperor of Gods, like their Mansion Master, could comprehend.
Bang! Bang!
Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger from the law of space struck with their palms at almost the same time when they caught up to the two men. Needless to say, those two men did not stand a chance at all and died instantly.
After that, Duan Ling Tian claimed their prominent divine artifacts and their spatial rings. He gained three prominent divine artifacts and three spatial rings from this encounter alone.
Suddenly, at this moment, two beams of light shone down on Duan Ling Tian from the sky. It was as though they could distinguish between him and his doppelganger. Earlier, after he had killed the old man who comprehended the law of space, he had already been rewarded while he was killing the two men.
‘Three rewards… Based on the absorption rate, I’m afraid it’ll take at least half a day before I can completely absorb it… Fortunately, it won’t affect my journey at all,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after he examined his body.
Duan Ling Tian continued on his journey. After some time had passed, he was shocked by the changes in his body.
‘I gained various insights regarding the law of space! I can sense that my comprehension has improved slightly. Moreover, my cultivation base has also further stabilized. This speed of progress from the rewards of killing three advanced Lords of Gods far surpassed my previous speed!’
…
Half a day later.
Duan Ling Tian finally absorbed the rewards he received. He could clearly sense the improvement in his law of space and that his cultivation base had become more stable.
‘It seems like the supreme powerhouses who created this place comprehended various laws. One thing’s for sure, at least one of them is an expert in the law of space.’
‘As for my cultivation… All of them would have their own methods to help raise my cultivation base…’
‘However, it seems like there’s a downside to the speedy and sudden improvement as well. My cultivation base feels restless. I’ll need to spend some time to calm it down. Nonetheless, this is just a small issue.’
Following that, Duan Ling Tian brought a divine pill out of his spatial ring and popped it into his mouth. The divine pill was a lord-grade Limit Divine Pill that could help an advanced Lord of Gods to stabilize and calm their cultivation bases. Its effect was incredible. In just a brief moment, his restless cultivation base calmed down completely.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone brightly as he mused inwardly, ‘If I was rewarded so greatly just by killing advanced Lords of Gods, it seems like my cultivation base will stabilize completely if I kill another dozen or so advanced Lords of Gods!’
