Chapter 4198: Duan Ling Tian Is Seriously Injured
The three rudimentary Supreme Gods brought their comrades as they headed to the core of the heart of Destiny Canyon. The three of them shared the same goal of joining forces to kill the nine demon beasts to injure Duan Ling Tian if they ran into him so their comrades could kill him.
…
Duan Ling Tian was unnaturally unaware that he was now the target of three advanced Emperors of Gods who had become rudimentary Supreme Gods after consuming an Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus each.
When he arrived at the core of the heart of Destiny Canyon, he heard an earth-shattering commotion in the distance. The commotion grew louder and louder as he drew closer to that place.
‘Although there’s still a distance, the commotion is still so loud… Even a battle between two ordinary rudimentary Supreme Gods won’t be so intense, right? I wonder who’s fighting the nine demon beasts. Is it really Fourth Senior Sister? Only Fourth Senior Sister has the means to do so once she becomes a rudimentary Supreme God, right?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly, ‘If it’s not Fourth Senior Sister, it has to be a few people who became rudimentary Supreme Gods after consuming the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus.’
At this point, Duan Ling Tian was not 100% certain that Lang Chun Yuan was the person fighting the nine demon beasts.
As he made his way over, he encountered a few demon beasts comparable to imminent Supreme Gods, and he easily killed them.
…
After Duan Ling Tian left the area, a few advanced Emperors of Gods came out of hiding.
“Duan Ling Tian is really as strong as rumored!”
“He easily killed two demon beasts that nearly killed us with just a strike!”
“It’s hard to believe that he’s just an intermediate Emperor of Gods…”
“Well, there’s no doubt that he’s just an intermediate Emperor of Gods. I sensed his Divine Energy when he made a move earlier.”
…
Although Duan Ling Tian was strong, his Divine Consciousness was still inferior to that of an advanced Emperor of Gods due to the difference between their cultivation bases. As such, it was almost impossible to discover their presence unless they were very close or if they probed him with their Divine Consciousness.
Nonetheless, although Duan Ling Tian failed to detect their presence, he knew that there would be advanced Emperors of Gods hiding. He did not bother wasting time searching for them since he was anxious to find out who was fighting the nine demon beasts.
When Duan Ling Tian arrived at the battlefield…
‘Fourth Senior Sister?’
The forest in the vicinity had been razed to the ground.
The nine demon beasts’ strength that had been boosted by the Blood Formation caused Duan Ling Tian to shudder involuntarily. With this, he further confirmed that he was no match for the nine demon beasts at all.
At this time, Lang Chun Yuan hovered in the air. Her face was slightly pale. Clearly, she was not having an easy time. Nonetheless, she was still in better shape compared to the nine huge demon beasts whose bodies were riddled with wounds.
After a moment, Lang Chun Yuan and the nine demon beasts clashed again. Soon after, she quickly retreated. It was then that she discovered Duan Ling Tian’s presence. Her eyes lit up immediately as she called out, “Junior brother? You came just in time! I need your help to restrain one of the demon beasts to disrupt their Blood Formation. At that time, I’ll take the chance to kill one of them. As long as one of them dies, their strength will be greatly weakened.”
Without any hesitation, Duan Ling Tian flew toward the nine demon beasts as Lang Chun Yuan made her move again. The Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword appeared in his hand; it glowed brightly before it shot toward one of the demon beasts that was the size of a small hill.
Although the demon beast was enraged, it did not bother to deflect Duan Ling Tian. It knew that it could not be distracted at this moment. Otherwise, the Blood Formation would be disrupted. At that time, all the demon beasts would not be a match for Lang Chun Yuan.
Swoosh!
Following that, the demon beast quickly used the law to form a shield around its body. The shield looked sturdy and impenetrable.
‘You’re ignoring me? Very well, I’m going to kill you,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes glinted coldly, surprised by the demon beast’s reaction. The Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in his hand glowed and shot out with all its might toward the demon beast again.
The void rippled in the wake of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
At this time, the demon beast finally sensed the huge threat coming its way. Its eyes widened in horror as it cried out for its companions.
The other eight demon beasts sensed the demon beast’s crisis and turned around in unison. Their eyes shone murderously as they roared and charged toward Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian felt overwhelmed by the nine demon beasts’ auras at this moment. He felt as though he was suffocating. However, he did not retreat under the immense pressure. Instead, he continued to attack the demon beast with his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
Swoosh!
At this time, a seven-colored sword ray shot out and penetrated the shield of the demon beast.
‘Die!’ Duan Ling Tian roared inwardly.
At the same time, the seven-colored sword ray, which had penetrated the demon beast’s shield, grew even brighter than before.
…
The demon beast screeched in pain, causing the advanced Emperors of Gods hiding in the distance to feel as though their eardrums were about to burst.
The advanced Emperors of Gods looked at each other and saw the look of disbelief on each other’s faces.
“Was that from a demon beast? Duan Ling Tian just went there not too long ago. This means he must have joined forces with whoever is there to fight the nine demon beasts, right?”
“I wonder if one person or a few people were fighting the nine demon beasts before Duan Ling Tian joined in the fight…”
“Who knows? However, if only one person was fighting the nine demon beasts before this, that person could only be Lang Chun Yuan. It also means that she’s now a rudimentary Supreme God.”
“I agree. If it’s more than one person, then it’s likely those who recently became rudimentary Supreme Gods in the canyon.”
…
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian hastily teleported away after delivering the blow.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Among the eight demon beasts, there were a few who comprehended the law of space, and they seemed to have anticipated this. They disrupted the space, causing Duan Ling Tian to be unable to cast the Teleportation Profundity.
‘Damn it!’ Duan Ling Tian cursed inwardly as he backed away with a solemn expression on his face.
At this time, the eyes of the demon beast that Duan Ling Tian attacked turned lifeless. In the next moment, its body exploded with tens of thousands of seven-colored sword rays.
“Junior brother!” Lang Chun Yuan cried out. She tried to save Duan Ling Tian, but she was a step too late.
The eight demon beasts charged over, and Duan Ling Tian was sent flying back like an arrow. He spat out a mouthful of blood, shocked. Fortunately, he managed to kill one of the nine demon beasts, effectively disrupting their Blood Formation. Otherwise, he would have died. After all, with the Blood Formation, the nine demon beasts were stronger than ordinary rudimentary Supreme Gods. Without the Blood Formation, the demon beasts were only comparable to imminent Supreme Gods even if they joined forces.
Although Duan Ling Tian had hastily erected a barrier earlier, he was still severely injured from this blow. Nonetheless, he still sighed in relief after his close brush with death. ‘That was close…’
Meanwhile, Lang Chun Yuan’s eyes turned red in anger as she cried out, “How dare you!”
Lang Chun Yuan’s destructive aura and killing intent surged suddenly. It was as though she had transformed into a bloodthirsty demon at this moment.
Duan Ling Tian watched as Lang Chun Yuan grew to about 10 meters tall before she killed one of the demon beasts with just a punch. Following that, she charged toward another demon beast.
Seeing this, Duan Ling Tian hurriedly cried out, “Fourth Senior Sister, don’t kill them! Stop them from escaping so I can kill them when I recover!”
Lang Chun Yuan’s eyes seemed to become less red when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s voice. She nodded and said, “Alright.”
Following that, Lang Chun Yuan stopped the remaining seven demon beasts from escaping and pushed them to the ground. The seven demon beasts were no longer a match for her at this time.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian sat cross-legged in the air and quickly consumed a bottle of healing divine pills before he recuperated using the energy from the rewards he received. Although this was a waste, he was desperate to recover as soon as possible so that he could kill the remaining seven demon beasts. He had previously heard that the nine demon beasts were the ultimate test in Destiny Canyon. As such, those who killed the demon beasts would be greatly rewarded by the God of Creation.
‘I need to recover quickly. This amount of energy is nothing compared to the reward I’ll receive from the supreme powerhouses if I manage to kill the seven remaining demon beasts…’
Duan Ling Tian could not wait to find out what reward for killing the demon beasts would be.
In just a blink of an eye, half a day had passed, and Duan Ling Tian managed to heal about 50% of his injuries.
Suddenly, Lang Chun Yuan raised an eyebrow, sensing something in the distance.
“Hmm?”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Three figures suddenly appeared in front of Lang Chun Yuan, staring greedily at the seven demon beasts that were restrained on the ground.
