4226 Three Strands of Supreme Powerhouse’s Divine Energy
Flying a supreme-grade flying ship at the speed of an advanced Supreme God naturally consumed a huge number of divine crystals. Very few members of prime supreme-rank forces could afford such extravagance.
In fact, if it were not for the fact that Yun Qing Yan was determined to catch the kidnapper, the two intermediate Supreme Gods would not have easily used their divine crystals in such a manner.
Initially, the old man used his divine crystals. He was confident the other party would soon slow down in fear of exhausting his supply of divine crystals. However, contrary to his expectations, even after he used up all of his divine crystals, the other party showed no signs of slowing down at all. Clearly, the other party possessed more divine crystals than him. In the end, he had no choice but to use the divine crystals Yun Qing Yan brought out earlier.
Crystal after crystal disappeared to fuel the flying ship as it chased after the other party at the speed of an advanced Supreme God.
Yun Qing Yan’s eyes were firmly trained on the flying ship in front. He did not pay attention to the divine crystals at all. However, when the divine crystals he brought out were almost completely exhausted, he said with a dark expression, “It seems like that person has quite a bit of divine crystals.”
Yun Qing Yan usually did not carry a huge number of divine crystals with him. He only carried enough to sustain his needs. If he needed a huge number of divine crystals, all he had to do was ask his father for them. His father was the current Leader of the Yun clan and had authority over the Yun clan’s treasury. As such, he did not lack divine crystals. He did not expect that he would need so many divine crystals this time.
Yun Qing Yan looked at his divine crystals that were dwindling in number before he turned to look at the middle-aged standing nearby.
The middle-aged man smiled wryly as he said, “Young master, I don’t have many divine crystals with me.”
“Take everything out. You’ll be repaid when we return to the clan,” Yun Qing Yan said.
The middle-aged man no longer hesitated after hearing these words, bringing out all the divine crystals he had in his possession. Since Yun Qing Yan said that he would be repaid, he was no longer apprehensive.
Soon after, Yun Qing Yan’s divine crystals were all used up, and they had to use the middle-aged man’s divine crystals to fuel the flying ship.
Yun Qing Yan’s expression was very unsightly while the old man and the middle-aged man wore worried expressions on their faces.
‘It’s impossible that the divine crystals of the three of us combined are fewer than the other party, right? How can the other party possess so many divine crystals? If so, is the other party really just an imminent Supreme God?’
…
On the flying ship in the lead.
Mountains of divine crystals were piled up in front of Duan Ling Tian. He had gained most of these divine crystals from the Emperors of Gods and Supreme Gods of the Zen Boundary Land, whom he killed on the Realm Battlefield. Those Emperors of Gods and Supreme Gods had relinquished their claims over their spatial rings in hope that Duan Ling Tian and Yang Yu Chen would spare their lives. Alas, they could not escape death in the end.
Since Yang Yu Chen did not have much use for divine crystals, they were all given to Duan Ling Tian.
In addition to that, Duan Ling Tian also gained many divine crystals, a lot more than what he gained on the Realm Battlefield, during his time in the Trial of Gods.
Initially, Duan Ling Tian did not think he would have to use the divine crystals that he obtained from the Trial of Gods. However, as time passed, he was forced to bring them out as well, adding to the mountainous piles of divine crystals on the flying ship.
Duan Ling Tian sighed. “They sure have a lot of divine crystals… When they exhaust their supply of divine crystals, it’ll be time for me to slow down…”
After about ten minutes, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes suddenly flashed. Then, after a few moments, he began to slow down, decreasing the speed of the flying ship to that of an intermediate Supreme God.
…
In the rear, Yun Qing Yan, who was slightly annoyed due to the depletion of their divine crystals, saw the flying ship in front slowing down, and his eyes brightened immediately. He quickly said, “It seems like he’s running out of divine crystals as well! Put the flying ship away and chase after him!”
The old man quickly put the flying ship away before he and the middle-aged man chased after Duan Ling Tian’s flying ship. However, since they were carrying Yun Qing Yan with them, their speed was inevitably affected, and their speed was only on par with Duan Ling Tian’s flying ship. The two men also did not have any speed advantage since neither of them comprehended the law of wind.
Yun Qing Yan noticed this problem and said, “One of you will stay behind and carry me and the other one will chase after him!”
In the end, the old man, who was the strongest of the two, chased after Duan Ling Tian’s flying ship, closing the gap between them, while the middle-aged man, who carried Yun Qing Yan, flew at a much slower speed.
It did not take long for the old man to leave Yun Qing Yan and the middle-aged man behind, drawing closer and closer to Duan Ling Tian’s flying ship.
“Almost there!” Yun Qing Yan’s eyes lit up when he saw the old man was fast approaching their target. He did not forget to remind the old man, “Elder Chen, make sure he doesn’t hurt my cousin!”
“I understand, Young Master,” the old man replied. However, soon after, he discovered a problem. He was no longer closing the distance between him and the flying ship.
‘Did my speed decrease? No, my speed hasn’t changed at all… What’s going on?’
All of a sudden, the old man’s eyes widened and his expression changed as a thought appeared in his mind. He quickly said through Voice Transmission, “Young Master, watch out!”
At the same time, before Yun Qing Yan could react…
Swoosh!
A gust of wind blew over before a purple-clad young man, with eyebrows that made him look valiant, appeared in front of Yun Qing Yan and the middle-aged man, blocking their path. As soon as he appeared, a spatial storm raged around him before a huge seven-colored sword ray swept out.
Boom!
Yun Qing Yan and the middle-aged man were caught off guard and were unable to react in time. As such, they were directly hit.
The middle-aged man, who suffered the brunt of the attack, spat out a huge mouthful of blood.
Meanwhile, Yun Qing Yan’s face contorted into an expression of pain. Fear and disbelief could also be seen in his eyes at this moment.
‘How’s this possible?!’
Yun Qing Yan was not only shocked by the attack, but he was also shocked by the appearance of the young man in front of him. The young man was someone whom he would never forget. The young man was from the mundane realm; someone whom he crushed just like an ant in the past. If his cousin did not threaten him with her life, the young man would have died at that time. However, at this moment, the young man’s aura and strength were completely different from before.
At this time, another seven-colored sword ray shot out.
The middle-aged man, who had just brought out a strand of Divine Energy from a supreme powerhouse, suddenly died before the energy even entered his body.
‘I hope this will help me…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh as he caught the supreme powerhouse’s Divine Energy and absorbed it.
After the supreme powerhouse’s Divine Energy entered Duan Ling Tian’s body, it began to wreak havoc in his body, causing his body to ache.
The energy surged violently through his 99 Heavenly Veins for a while before the pain finally subsided. After the pain subsided, Duan Ling Tian felt as though his body was being filled with terrifying power.
‘This is the power of the Divine Energy of a supreme powerhouse?’
Duan Ling Tian had taken a chance when he absorbed the energy from a supreme powerhouse. After all, it was said that only Supreme Gods could use the energy of a supreme powerhouse.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian, who felt the enormous power within him, felt as though he could crush mountains with just a slap of his hand and destroy the sun, the moon, and the stars with just a snap of his fingers. He naturally knew this power was only temporary.
Boom!
At the same time, a frightening energy surged out from Yun Qing Yan’s body. As soon as the middle-aged man died, he decisively absorbed a strand of supreme powerhouse’s Divine Energy. It transformed his Divine Energy immediately, boosting his Divine Energy to that of an intermediate Supreme God.
“Elder Chen, help me! Hurry up!”
Although Yun Qing Yan’s strength was now comparable to an intermediate Supreme God, he was still afraid. After all, Duan Ling Tian had easily killed an intermediate Supreme God just a moment ago.
Even if Duan Ling Tian could only kill the intermediate Supreme God because the intermediate Supreme God was heavily injured due to the unexpected attack, it did not lessen Yun Qing Yan’s fear. After all, he was also injured by Duan Ling Tian’s unexpected attack.
For all these reasons, after Yun Qing Yan raised his strength to that of an intermediate Supreme God, he did not confront Duan Ling Tian. Instead, he quickly fled in search of the old man.
Swoosh!
At this time, the old man had also absorbed the Divine Energy of a supreme powerhouse. With that, his Divine Energy was boosted to that of an advanced Supreme God. He did not waste time as he rushed toward Yun Qing Yan at top speed.
Duan Ling Tian’s gaze was piercing as he looked at Yun Qing Yan and said, “Yun Qing Yan, you must die today!”
Following that, a seven-colored sword ray whizzed out, catching up to Yun Qing Yan in just a blink of an eye.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian was also preparing to retreat. He would leave immediately using the Double Teleportation Profundity as soon as he killed Yun Qing Yan. He would leave his doppelganger behind to stall for time. As long as his doppelganger successfully bought him time, he was confident he could escape from the old man by casting the Double Teleportation Profundity a few times. After that, he would wait until the efficacy of the energy from the supreme powerhouse dissipated and leave using his supreme-grade flying ship.
Duan Ling Tian did not believe the old man would waste another strand of Divine Energy from a supreme powerhouse to chase after him after Yun Qing Yan died. Moreover, he was even more certain that the old man did not possess another strand of Divine Energy from a supreme powerhouse. After all, Divine Energy from a supreme powerhouse was extremely rare.
Meanwhile, Yun Qing Yan’s fearful expression was replaced with one of determination as he said through gritted teeth, “You want to kill me? Keep dreaming!”
Following that, a round blood-red mark appeared on Yun Qing Yan’s glabella before what seemed like golden blood dripped out.
At the same time, Yun Qing Yan cried out anxiously, “Father, save me!”
