War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 4218 Comparable to the Light of the Law That Shine For a Million Miles

The rudimentary Supreme God from the Zen Boundary Land, whom Duan Ling Tian and Yang Yu Chen ran into, was a very old man. However, despite his aged appearance, his body looked strong, and he was even more muscular than Duan Ling Tian and Yang Yu Chen. He also possessed a pair of eyes that were filled with energy.

The old man who was drowning in despair earlier felt as though he had been thrown a life raft when he heard Yang Yu Chen’s words. He did not think too much before he extended his Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian. After confirming that Duan Ling Tian was truly just an advanced Emperor of Gods, he looked at Yang Yu Chen and asked, “Are you serious, my lord?”

The old man was truly afraid of Yang Yu Chen, who was an intermediate Supreme God. He could tell based on Yang Yu Chen’s confidence and peerless aura that Yang Yu Chen was not an ordinary intermediate Supreme God.

Yang Yu Chen replied expressionlessly, “It’s up to you to believe it or not.”

!!

The old man’s expression changed imperceptibly. Then, he inhaled deeply before he said, “I believe you, my lord.”

The old man knew he had no other choice at this moment. After all, he could not escape from Yang Yu Chen so he could only do as he was told. When he shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian again, he narrowed his eyes and said, “You can attack first. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

The old man did not hide his intention to go easy on Duan Ling Tian. In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, the old man clearly looked down on him, who was just an advanced Emperor of Gods. After a moment, he said tonelessly, “If I were you, I wouldn’t hold back. I don’t need you to go easy on me. Although I’m an advanced Emperor of Gods, very few imminent Supreme Gods can survive more than one move from me.”

Duan Ling Tian did not hide his strength and continued to say, “When I first became an advanced Emperor of Gods, I was already on par with imminent Supreme Gods. After completely stabilizing my cultivation base, it’s extremely easy for me to kill imminent Supreme Gods. Since my breakthrough, I’ve yet to kill a rudimentary Supreme God. Perhaps, you’ll be the first today…”

The old man’s expression changed greatly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. He did not doubt the veracity of Duan Ling Tian’s words at all. After all, there was no need for Duan Ling Tian to lie at all. If Duan Ling Tian were on par with imminent Supreme Gods as soon as he broke through and could easily kill imminent Supreme Gods after stabilizing his cultivation base, it meant that Duan Ling Tian was now on par with an ordinary rudimentary Supreme God.

The old man shuddered inwardly. He was not among the strongest rudimentary Supreme Gods. He was at most average. His expression turned solemn as he said, “I’ve underestimated you, my lord.”

Following that, the old man’s body shone brightly before a translucent figure that was more than ten meters appeared.

Duan Ling Tian who was 1.8 meters tall looked insignificantly small in comparison. The top of his head only reached the calves of the translucent figure.

“That’s more like it,” Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile on his face before he flew out.

A spatial storm raged around Duan Ling Tian as he brought the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword out.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian swung his sword, using only his Divine Energy and the law of space. He did not use his Sword Dao and Mastery Dao at all.

In the next moment, a pearl shining with a mustard-yellow light appeared in front of the old man, easily stopping Duan Ling Tian’s attack. Clearly, he comprehended the law of earth, and the pearl was his prominent divine artifact. A faint outline could be seen inside the pearl; it was the pearl’s artifact soul.

“Don’t hold back,” the old man said loudly, “Your attack now is only as strong as that of an imminent Supreme God. You can’t easily kill an imminent Supreme God with such an attack.”

Indeed, Duan Ling Tian had held back. He did not use any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. He only used his Divine Energy, the law of space, and his prominent divine artifact to attack. Even if his comprehension of the law was profound, his attack was only stronger than ordinary imminent Supreme Gods. Moreover, he only used a fraction of his Divine Energy earlier. He wanted to test the old man’s strength.

If Duan Ling Tian had attacked without holding back his Divine Energy, even if he did not use any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, his attack would be much more powerful than an imminent Supreme God.

Despite his words, the old man was trembling inwardly. ‘Where did this monster come from? He’s just an advanced Emperor of Gods, and yet, he comprehended the law of space to the point where the light of the law shone for 100,000 miles!’

As soon as Duan Ling Tian attacked, the light of the law appeared, shining down on 100,000 miles of land. Although it only appeared briefly, it was hard to miss.

Throughout his life, the old man had met many prodigies in the Zen Boundary Land, and he had also met many of them on the Realm Battlefield. However, he had never met an advanced Emperor of Gods whose comprehension of the law could manifest a phenomenon that shone for 100,000 miles. He had only heard of one or two people who were capable of this, but the laws they comprehended were the elemental laws. On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian comprehended the law of space, one of the Four Supreme Laws. For an advanced Emperor of Gods to comprehend the law of space to this degree, there was doubt in his mind that Duan Ling Tian’s talent and comprehension skills were superior even among prodigies.

At this time, the old man finally understood why Yang Yu Chen was so confident earlier. Clearly, Yang Yu Chen had no doubt that Duan Ling Tian would be capable of killing him.

Surprisingly, the old man did not panic even after these revelations appeared in his mind. He comprehended the law of earth, after all. Even if he could not defeat his opponent, he was confident that his defenses would hold and that the fight would end in a draw. After that, he would be able to leave.

“As you wish,” Duan Ling Tian said coldly, “You’re a rudimentary Supreme God who comprehends the law of earth. Your defenses should be the strongest among rudimentary Supreme Gods. I want to see if I can break your defenses today.”

Those who comprehended the law of earth had stronger defenses compared to others. Needless to say, rudimentary Supreme Gods who comprehended the law of earth had stronger defenses compared to rudimentary Supreme Gods who comprehended other laws. Moreover, they could only counterattack once in a while as they defended themselves. They would have to look for the right opportunity to defeat their opponents in one fell swoop. This was the usual and only tactic for most of those who comprehended the law of earth. Although their number was very few and it was not an easy feat to achieve especially if one had a high cultivation base, there were some who figured out a way to use the law of earth offensively instead of just using it to defend themselves.

Regardless, under normal circumstances, if their defenses were broken, it would also spell their defeat.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian struck with his sword again. His attack this time did not look much different than the one before. However, he had increased the output of his Divine Energy, and he also used his Mastery Dao to control the space. At this time, the surrounding space was completely under his control.

In the controlled space, wind and water vapor disappeared. The space turned still immediately. Due to the missing external factors, the strength of Duan Ling Tian’s attack increased greatly as well.

Boom!

A thunderous noise rang in the air when Duan Ling Tian’s sword landed on the defenses created by the old man’s pearl, which was called Spiritual Pearl. Unlike before, his attack was not immediately deflected by the barrier.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s attack landed, the old man’s defenses solidified into an impregnable wall, which had been imbued with blood energy. At the critical moment, he had no choice but to use his bloodline power, which was unique to natives of Realms of Gods. Otherwise, he was not sure he could keep his defenses up.

Alas, although the old man managed to stop Duan Ling Tian’s attack this time as well, hideous cracks could be seen on the wall.

The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, injured by the force of the attack. His face was ashen at this moment.

On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian looked unruffled.

After the old man wiped the blood off the corners of his lips, he looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock and disbelief. “Impossible! Your comprehension of the law is very profound, but it should still be at the stage where the phenomenon will only shine for 100,000 miles. How did your attack grow so powerful? And if your comprehension is higher than that, there should be a light that shines for a million miles when you attacked…”

The old man could sense the power of Duan Ling Tian’s attack, and its power was consistent with someone who had comprehended the law to the point where the phenomenon would shine for a million miles. However, when Duan Ling Tian attacked, the phenomenon only shone for 100,000 miles. He could not figure out what was going on at all.

Duan Ling Tian explained expressionlessly, “It’s understandable that you’re confused. I used other means to increase the strength of my attack. It has nothing to do with my law.”

The old man was still puzzled. However, it did not take long before his eyes widened and he exclaimed, “Y-you… You comprehended the Mastery Dao, one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth?!”

Realization dawned on the old man at this moment. No wonder he had felt a sense of oppression earlier as though he was standing in the territory of a powerful monster. However, the feeling was fleeting so he did not pay attention to it. In hindsight, that feeling had appeared as soon as Duan Ling Tian attacked. He finally realized that it was because Duan Ling Tian had used the Mastery Dao and controlled the surrounding space as he attacked.

‘His comprehension of the law is so profound that the phenomenon can shine for 100,000 miles. His cultivation is also not weak. With the Mastery Dao, his attack earlier can easily kill all ordinary rudimentary Supreme Gods,’ the old man thought to himself as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. At the same time, he felt grateful that his strongest law was the law of earth.

‘Is it over?’ The old man felt relieved. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian had attacked with all his might earlier.

However, in the next moment, the old man’s eyes flashed with fear and his expression changed as a thought appeared in his mind.

‘Wait! He has yet to use his bloodline power!’

The old man assumed that Duan Ling Tian was a native of a Realm of Gods. After all, in his opinion, it was impossible for such a monstrous talent to come from a lower realm.

The old man began to panic again. ‘If he uses his bloodline power, I have a small chance of defending against it if it’s weak. However, if he has a strong bloodline power, I’m afraid that I’ll die…’
