4221 Entering the Divine Sanction Battlefield After Ten Years
As soon as Yang Yu Chen finished speaking, his terrifying attack swept out like a phantom.
In just a blink of an eye, the middle-aged man was reduced to dust as though he had gone through a millstone. Despite resisting with all his might, it was futile. The difference between his and Yang Yu Chen’s strength was insurmountable. It was just like how Duan Ling Tian had easily killed imminent Supreme Gods.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who was standing at the side, was stunned by Yang Yu Chen’s earlier words and decisive actions. He had assumed that Yang Yu Chen would let the middle-aged man go if the middle-aged man managed to defeat him. He did not expect Yang Yu Chen to kill the middle-aged man before the middle-aged man could defeat him. With this, Yang Yu Chen indeed did not break his promise.
Another unwilling cry rang in the air as a huge figure appeared in the air after the middle-aged man died.
The phenomenon that indicated the death of an intermediate Supreme God appeared twice in a row.
At this time, the expressions of the powerhouses, who were drawn over by the previous phenomenon, changed drastically, shocked that another intermediate Supreme God died. Moreover, the two intermediate Supreme Gods died in the same place.
“Two intermediate Supreme Gods died at almost the same time!”
“Are they from the same Realm of Gods?”
“They’re like companions…”
The powerhouses were, without exceptions, in or above the realm of an intermediate Supreme God. Moreover, all of them were confident about their strength to a certain extent. Otherwise, they would not have ventured so close to have a look at what was going on.
A few years ago, two intermediate Supreme Gods from the Zen Boundary Land died consecutively as well. A few years later, another two intermediate Supreme Gods died again.
The powerhouses could not figure out what was going on. Under normal circumstances, it was rare for those in or above the realm of an intermediate Supreme God to die. More than decades could pass, and not one intermediate Supreme God would die. However, their deaths were so frequent in recent years. It was truly baffling. After reaching this realm, most of them were very cautious and vigilant. If they could not defeat their opponents, they would not hesitate to flee to the nearest base camp.
…
After killing two intermediate Supreme Gods in a row, Yang Yu Chen still looked calm. He collected the duo’s prominent divine artifact before he said, “Junior brother, let’s go.”
As they left, Yang Yu Chen said, “The phenomena that appeared after those two died definitely attracted attention due to how eye-catching they were. A lot of powerhouses are going to come over to check on the situation. There are likely quite a few advanced Supreme Gods among these powerhouses. Hence, it’s imperative that we leave as soon as possible. Who knows if we would run into a stronger opponent from the Zen Boundary Land if we didn’t leave?”
Previously, Yang Yu Chen did not react when the rudimentary Supreme Gods died. After all, the rudimentary Supreme Gods did not die in the inner area of the battlefield. There were not many powerhouses outside of the inner area so most people did not dare to come close to have a look. Moreover, even those who dared to come over were intermediate Supreme Gods at most. Yang Yu Chen was not afraid of intermediate Supreme Gods. Even if he ran into an intermediate Supreme God stronger than him, he was confident he could escape unscathed with Duan Ling Tian even if he could not defeat the other party.
Duan Ling Tian nodded in response to Yang Yu Chen’s words. He had also thought about this matter before. The appearance of such a phenomenon was tantamount to telling people that a Supreme God died and revealing the location where the Supreme God died. It was risky to stay on the scene.
At this moment, Yang Yu Chen said in an attempt to comfort Duan Ling Tian, “Junior brother, there’s no need to feel discouraged because you weren’t a match for that intermediate Supreme God. In fact, with your current strength, you can defeat new intermediate Supreme Gods who have just broken through. You’re only slightly weaker than those intermediate Supreme Gods who have just stabilized their cultivation bases. At the very least, you may not lose to Fourth Junior Sister in a fight.”
In Yang Yu Chen’s opinion, although Lang Chun Yuan was very talented, Duan Ling Tian was even more talented. If the two were to fight, there was a high chance that it would end in a draw.
Duan Ling Tian grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. “Third Senior Brother, there’s no need to comfort me. I’m not discouraged. After all, I’m just an advanced Emperor of Gods now.”
Yang Yu Chen fell silent upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. At the same time, he felt emotionally exhausted. Indeed. His junior brother was just an advanced Emperor of Gods now. It seemed like he was worried for nothing. His junior brother was an advanced Emperor of Gods who could defeat most, if not all, rudimentary Supreme Gods. Why would his junior brother feel discouraged?’
Yang Yu Chen thought about how he could only defeat the average rudimentary Supreme Gods when he was an advanced Emperor of Gods. He was no match for powerful rudimentary Supreme Gods at that time.
Then, Yang Yu Chen sighed, slightly exasperated, as he thought to himself, ‘I don’t need you to remind me. I already know you’re just an advanced Emperor of Gods. You used to be so sensible, junior brother. Why are you tactless now? Don’t you know that your words will poke my sore spot? Forget it. Children are ignorant. I shouldn’t take this to heart.’
Duan Ling Tian had been on the Realm Battlefield for eight years now. He had learned many things from Yang Yu Chen, and he also gained many experiences. However, he felt that he gained the most combat experience from his fight with the intermediate Supreme God. He had fought with all his might, but he still fell short in the end.
The intermediate Supreme God was just an ordinary intermediate Supreme God who could only attack physically. If Duan Ling Tian were to encounter an intermediate Supreme God who specialized in soul attacks, even if the other party was only average, Duan Ling Tian knew he would be in an even more disadvantageous position. However, with his soul-type defensive artifacts, he did not have to fear rudimentary Supreme Gods who specialized in soul attacks
It had to be said that Duan Ling Tian only had to fear intermediate Supreme Gods who specialized in soul attacks now because one of the Five Divine Elements, the Profound Divine Metal, was still hibernating. Otherwise, the other party would not be able to seriously injure him with soul attacks at all.
…
Duan Ling Tian stayed with Yang Yu Chen over the next two years. During this time, they ran into an intermediate Supreme God who had yet to stabilize his cultivation base. As such, Duan Ling Tian, who attacked without reservations, managed to kill the other party after dozens of moves.
When the other party died, he naturally died with regrets. Until his death, he still could not figure out how an advanced Emperor of Gods managed to kill him. When did advanced Emperors of Gods gain the ability to kill intermediate Supreme Gods?
…
Time continued to fly by quickly. In just a blink of an eye, it had been ten years since Yang Yu Chen and Duan Ling Tian entered the Profound Zen Battlefield. It was finally time for the duo to part ways.
Before parting ways, Yang Yu Che accompanied Duan Ling Tian to a place where the fabric of space was thinner, which would transport Duan Ling Tian to another Realm Battlefield. He accompanied Duan Ling Tian and traveled through several Realm Battlefields before they finally arrived at the Divine Sanction Battlefield, which was formed by the collision of the Divine Offering Land and the Sanction Land.
The Divine Sanction Battlefield was where Duan Ling Tian suspected his wife, Ke’er, was at. Members of prime supreme-rank forces in the Divine Offering Land like the Xia clan and the Yu clan would enter the Divine Sanction Battlefield as well.
“Junior brother, you can continue to roam the Divine Sanction Battlefield with your battle merit token. However, you’ll definitely be targeted by people from the Divine Offering Land and the Sanction Land if you do so. I suggest you temporarily leave the Divine Sanction Battlefield and enter the Divine Offering Land or the Sanction Land before entering the Divine Sanction Battlefield again. With that, you can form a new battle merit from the Divine Offering Land or the Sanction Land…” Yang Yu Chen said.
One’s battle merit token would be formed according to the place where one came from. As such, Duan Ling Tian, who entered the Realm Battlefield from the Profound Energy Land, had the battle merit token from the Profound Energy Land. It would not change even if he had snuck into the Divine Sanction Battlefield. The battle merit token would only disappear if he left the Realm Battlefield.
“I understand, Third Senior Brother. Don’t worry, you can leave first. There’s no need for you to accompany me to the Divine Offering Land or the Sanction Land,” Duan Ling Tian said to Yang Yu Chen with a smile.
Despite Duan Ling Tian’s reassurance, Yang Yu Chen was still worried. As such, he followed Duan Ling Tian for a while, and after confirming that they were not in the inner area of the Divine Sanction Battlefield, he finally left at ease. Before leaving, he also did not forget to warn Duan Ling Tian about certain things.
Duan Ling Tian felt helpless about Yang Yu Chen’s constant reminders, but he was also moved. As he watched Yang Yu Chen leave after finding a place where the fabric of space was the thinnest, his eyes were brimming with warmth as he murmured to himself, “Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Sister, it’s my blessing to have met both of you…”
At this point, Duan Ling Tian had already regarded Yang Yu Chen and Lang Chun Yuan as part of his family. The duo had treated him like family, after all, and gave him the comfort and warmth of home.
After a while, Duan Ling Tian finally turned to leave. At this time, the warmth in his eyes was replaced by frost as he muttered under his breath, “This is the Realm Battlefield of the Divine Offering Land and the Sanction Land. The Divine Offering Land, the Yun clan…”
The figure of a domineering young man appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind at this moment. In the past, the young man had behaved arrogantly in the mundane realm and easily suppressed and trampled on him. At that time, he was desperate and helpless. No matter how unwilling he was, he could not fight back. In front of that man, he was as weak as an ant. If it were not for Ke’er risking her life, perhaps, that man would have killed him at that time.
Duan Ling Tian had always possessed a strong sense of pride. Back then, Ke’er had desperately protected him, making him feel useless. He had felt bothered about that matter even if he did not say it. There was nothing he could do since he was truly weak at that time. He had secretly made an oath that he would pay back the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Yun Qing Yan, the Young Master of the Divine Offering Land’s Yun clan.
‘Third Senior Brother is right. It’s dangerous for me to wander around with the battle merit token from the Profound Energy Land. I’ll go to the Divine Offering Land first to have a look at the place where Ke’er grew up in her past life and the Xia clan, the prime supreme-rank force. After that, I’ll have a look at… the Yun clan…’
With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian made his way to the nearest base camp. During the journey there, he was stopped by two advanced Emperors of Gods from the Divine Offering Land. One tried to escape after he killed the other one, but needless to say, the other party failed to escape. It was easy for him to kill the two advanced Emperors of Gods.
