4438 It’s More Difficult for a Peerless Top Advanced Supreme God to Become a Supreme Powerhouse?
Duan Ling Tian had never even heard of the Supreme Spirit Blood Essence; how could he know what it was? However, based on the World Cleansing Divine Water’s reaction and Situ Lei’s words, he knew it had to be something extraordinary. After all, Situ Lei said it would save his life during critical moments.
“Only supreme powerhouses possess the Supreme Spirit Blood Essence. You’re familiar with ordinary blood essence, and you know how valuable it is to everyone. The Supreme Spirit Blood Essence is refined from the blood of a supreme powerhouse. The refinement process isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t affect one’s cultivation. However, it’s quite time-consuming,” the World Cleansing Divine Water explained, “It’s said that it takes more than 10,000 years for a supreme powerhouse to refine a drop of Supreme Spirit Blood Essence.”
Duan Ling Tian was shocked by the World Cleansing Divine Water’s words.
Supreme powerhouses were incredibly powerful, and they could live up to at least 100,000 years. This meant that a supreme powerhouse could only refine about a dozen drops of Supreme Spirit Blood Essence in his or her entire lifetime. As such, Duan Ling Tian was mindblown that Situ Lei was willing to give such a precious thing to him.
“Sister Water, what’s the use of a Supreme Spirit Blood Essence?” Duan Ling Tian asked.
Duan Ling Tian was naturally intrigued by the Supreme Spirit Blood Essence after Situ Lei said that it would be able to save his life. Although he was reluctant to be indebted, he was undeniably moved by the Supreme Spirit Blood Essence. He thought to himself that he might not be able to repay the favor immediately after accepting it, but he could repay the favor once became a peerless top advanced Supreme God.
The World Cleansing Divine Water replied, “You can activate the Supreme Spirit Blood Essence with your Divine Energy and the law you comprehend. At that time, it’ll summon the supreme powerhouse. In a way, it’s like a portal that helps the supreme powerhouse get to you!”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat when he heard that he would be able to summon a supreme powerhouse in person with the Supreme Spirit Blood Essence.
The World Cleansing Divine Water continued to say, “However, like many things, it has its limitations as well. You’re only able to use it in the Outer Boundary and the realms in close proximity, excluding secret realms that prohibit supreme powerhouses. You won’t be able to use it in the Myriad Worlds unless both of you are present in the same World.”
Duan Ling Tian asked again, “Sister Water, this means that I’ll still be able to use it in secret and independent realms, which doesn’t bar supreme powerhouses from entering, as long as it’s in or near the Outer Boundary, right?”
“Yes,” the World Cleansing Divine Water replied.
After listening to the World Cleansing Divine Water’s explanation, Duan Ling Tian accepted Situ Lei’s Supreme Spirit Blood Essence before he said solemnly, “Senior, the Supreme Spirit Blood Essence is akin to a life-saving talisman. Thank you for your kindness. Once I become strong enough to protect myself and if I don’t use it in the end, I’ll return it to you. However, if I end up using it, I’ll owe you another favor!” Then, he added resolutely, “Please agree to my request. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t accept such a precious thing.”
Situ Lei looked at Duan Ling Tian silently with growing admiration. After a moment, he said, “Little Li Feng, you’re highly talented. I believe you’ll be much stronger the next time we meet. I have a piece of advice for you; don’t rush to become a supreme powerhouse if you have a chance of becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God. Although your strength will increase greatly after your breakthrough, it’ll be difficult to comprehend the laws and the Daos after your breakthrough. I’ve never heard of anyone who didn’t comprehend the laws to the paramount stage before becoming a supreme powerhouse. It’s unprecedented in both the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. Apart from that, when a peerless top advanced Supreme God becomes a supreme powerhouse, he or she will become a World Supreme Powerhouse or at least close to one. Ordinary supreme powerhouses aren’t a match for such a supreme powerhouse at all!”
After a beat, Situ Lei continued to say, “However, I have to remind you that the path to becoming a supreme powerhouse after becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God is much more difficult. I don’t know how difficult it is since I didn’t travel down that path. However, there’s no doubt it’s very difficult. All supreme powerhouses know this. I’ve lived for about 200,000 years, and most of the peerless top advanced Supreme Gods I know died from the Heavenly Tribulation before they became a supreme powerhouse. All of them were capable of becoming supreme powerhouses before they became a peerless top advanced Supreme God, but they chose to suppress their cultivation instead. As you can see, it’s really not an easy path to take. I only know a few supreme powerhouses who took the path less traveled and succeeded. If you were an ordinary prodigy, I wouldn’t encourage you to take this path. However, based on your achievements at such a young age, I believe that if you become a peerless top advanced Supreme God first, the path of becoming a supreme powerhouse won’t be as difficult for you as it was for other peerless top advanced Supreme Gods…”
This was the first time Duan Ling Tian had heard that it was much more difficult for peerless top advanced Supreme Gods to become supreme powerhouses.
‘This must be another reason why there are so few peerless top advanced Supreme Gods… There’s no need for advanced Supreme Gods to become peerless top advanced Supreme Gods before becoming supreme powerhouses, and their chances of becoming supreme powerhouses are almost guaranteed compared to peerless top advanced Supreme Gods. If they chose to become a peerless top advanced Supreme God and failed to become a supreme powerhouse, their lifespan would be greatly reduced. After all, for those below the realm of supreme powerhouses, the Heavenly Tribulation would come once every 1,000 years unlike the Heavenly Tribulation for supreme powerhouses that comes once every 10,000 years.’
After listening to Situ Lei, Duan Ling Tian felt his conviction of becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God sway slightly. With his comprehension of the Sword Dao, even if he did not comprehend the law to the paramount stage, he might not be necessarily any weaker than Situ Lei after becoming a supreme powerhouse. In fact, after stabilizing his cultivation base as a supreme powerhouse, he might even be stronger than Situ Lei. However, although the possibility of failing to become a supreme powerhouse as a peerless top advanced Supreme God was worrying, if he succeeded, he would become a World Supreme Powerhouse. Based on the rumors, there were only a few dozen World Supreme Powerhouses in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. One could imagine how difficult it was to become a World Supreme Powerhouse.
‘However, Senior Situ is right. Based on my achievements so far, it should be less difficult for me to become a supreme powerhouse after I become a peerless top advanced Supreme God compared to the others. My ultimate goal is to save Ke’er… The chances of my success are higher if I become a peerless top advanced Supreme God…’
If Duan Ling Tian became a peerless top advanced Supreme God, it would not be difficult for him to serve a World Supreme Powerhouse. At that time, he would be able to ask for help from the World Supreme Powerhouse to release Ke’er from the soul technique of Yun Qing Yan, who had been possessed by a supreme powerhouse from the Soul Imprisonment Clan.
For World Supreme Powerhouses, peerless top advanced Supreme Gods held more value than ordinary supreme powerhouses. There were certain things that could only be done by peerless top advanced Supreme Gods. After all, there were certain restrictions on supreme powerhouses.
Duan Ling Tian hesitated for a moment before he looked at Situ Lei and asked, “Senior, do you know about the Soul Imprisonment Clan?”
Situ Lei seemed slightly taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s question. After a brief moment, he nodded slightly and said, “The Soul Imprisonment Clan? Yes. I heard that it’s a clan in the Myriad Worlds. The members specialize in soul techniques…”
Clearly, Situ Lei’s knowledge of the Soul Imprisonment Clan was limited to what he had heard from others.
“Senior, it’s said that there are supreme powerhouses in the Soul Imprisonment Clan. Normally, a stronger member can easily break the soul technique of a weaker member. If an ordinary supreme powerhouse is unable to break the soul imprisonment technique, can a World Supreme Powerhouse do so?” Duan Ling Tian asked before he waited anxiously for Situ Lei’s reply.
