Chapter 4153: Entering the Emperor-Grade Secret Realm
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhong Bai Nan, was a relatively well-known advanced Emperor of Gods, in the Divine Spirit Mansion. He was a sectless cultivator and lived in seclusion. However, due to his glorious past, many people knew him. However, due to his reclusiveness and old age, there were also many people who thought he had perished under the thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation.
Similar to the real world, Heavenly Tribulations existed in this world as well.
Now that Zhong Bai Nan appeared, many people realized that he was in fact still alive.
“Elder Zhong.”
“Greetings, Mr. Zhong.”
“I didn’t expect the Wu clan to be so influential to the point that they were able to invite Elder Zhong here…”
In the eyes of everyone present on the scene, Zhong Bai Nan was like a living fossil. Since he was alive, they also naturally knew he was definitely much stronger than before. Otherwise, he would not have survived until now. Even if he had yet to become a Supreme God, there was no doubt that he was very close to becoming one.
Zhong Bai Nan swepthis gaze across everyone before he asked with a smile, “Who was the one who broke through and brought forth the emperor-grade secret realm?”
Wu Xiang Qian looked at Duan Ling Tian before he said respectfully to Zhong Bai Nan, “Elder Zhong, it’s this… brother who broke through and brought forth the secret realm…”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai Nan looked at Duan Ling Tian before he smiled and nodded. However, he did not say anything, and his gaze did not stay on Duan Ling Tian for long.
Although Zhong Bai Nan only looked at Duan Ling Tian briefly, Duan Ling Tian still caught the contempt in the depths of Zhong Bai Nan’s eyes. Clearly, the old man was not as kind and magnanimous as he seemed on the surface. As such, among the three advanced Emperors of Gods present on the scene, his impression of Zhong Bai Nan was the worst.
‘I hope this old geezer doesn’t provoke me… I might not be able to go against him head-on, but I should be able to kill him if I ambush him. Although he’s an advanced Emperor of Gods, he can also be considered a quasi Supreme God. If I kill him, I’ll definitely be rewarded greatly. The reward would definitely be much better than the reward I obtained when I killed an intermediate Emperor of Gods as an advanced Lord of Gods,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes glinted.
This world was one without rules, and it made Duan Ling Tian have bold and crazy thoughts from time to time. Needless to say, he had also been continuously reminding himself to stay alert and not to trust anyone. After all, due to the reward system, it was not an exaggeration to assume everyone was out for his life.
Even if the three advanced Emperors of Gods in front of him would not be rewarded for killing him, they could still severely injure him for their juniors or subordinates who were in or below the realm of a rudimentary Emperor of Gods.
…
As time passed, more and more people who received the Communication Jades arrived one after another.
Finally, a beautiful woman appeared. She was one of two female cultivators present on the scene today, and she was none other than Liu Wu You.
The other female cultivator was an old woman. She was an intermediate Emperor of Gods, and she was invited here by the old man, who was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods.
As soon as Liu Wu You arrived, she greeted Mo Wen Dao, “Greetings, Mansion Master.”
However, Liu Wu You could not conceal the shock and disbelief in her eyes at all. She thought she had seen it wrong when she saw her former boy toy. To be precise, her boy toy who had been possessed by a powerhouse.
‘He’s here? Did he break through into the realm of an Emperor of Gods?’
Mo Wen Dao looked at Liu Wu You and Duan Ling Tian before he said with a chuckle, “City Governor Wu You, you should thank this young man for the opportunity to enter the emperor-grade secret realm. He was the one who invited you here.”
Liu Wu You was further shocked by this revelation. At the same time, she confirmed that the emperor-grade secret realm appeared due to the purple-clad young man in front of her. Otherwise, there was no way Mo Wen Dao would allow the purple-clad young man to invite her over.
“You…” Liu Wu You looked at Duan Ling Tian. She almost called out the name ‘You Wen Feng’. Fortunately, at the critical moment, she held back and said, “You… You’ve entered the realm of an Emperor of Gods?”
Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Yes. I only broke through today. The Mansion Master originally told me to invite three people, but I don’t have any friends nearby so I only invited you.”
Duan Ling Tian had spoken very casually, but Liu Wu You’s heart skipped a beat when she heard his words. After all, she did not expect the young man, whom she thought was a Supreme God in the past, would remember her and present her with such a good opportunity.
“Thank you, sir,” Liu Wu You said through Voice Transmission.
Although the others could easily eavesdrop, no one bothered to do so. They had no interest in Liu Wu You and Duan Ling Tian’s conversation. Moreover, even if they wanted to, they were not prepared.
When Liu Wu You and the final Emperor of Gods arrived, Wu Ping, one of three advanced Emperors of Gods present on the scene, took the initiative to say, “Since everyone has arrived, let’s open the emperor-grade secret realm.”
Duan Ling Tian and the others naturally had no objection to this.
After a moment, the twenty Emperors of Gods released their Divine Energies into the gates of the emperor-grade secret realms. Following that, a huge beam of light shot out and shrouded everyone.
When the light disappeared, only the gates to the secret realm remained. Not only did Duan Ling Tian and the other Emperors of Gods disappear, but the twenty palm prints had disappeared as well.
…
After Duan Ling Tian adjusted to the bright environment, he discovered there were 19 people around him. They were all transported to the same place.
At this moment, Wu Xiang Qian, the old rudimentary Emperor of Gods who arrived after him, and many others wore dark expressions on their faces.
It was naturally more advantageous for the weak if they were all transported to different places to avoid being targeted by the strong. Now that they were transported to the same place, the risks were higher. Even if the strong did not target them immediately, if there was a conflict of interest, the strong definitely would not hold back.
‘We’re all transported to the same place?’
Even Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised by this.
Previously, Wu Qian Xiang had told him about the few emperor-grade secret realms he had visited. According to him, everyone was sent to different places every time he entered the emperor-grade secret realms.
At this time, Wu Ping said with a slight frown on his face, “Generally speaking, the fact that we’re all gathered together indicates that the quality of the emperor-grade secret realm is rather high. Only prodigies can summon such a secret realm after breaking through the realm of an Emperor of Gods…”
While Wu Ping spoke, he looked at Duan Ling Tian a few times. It was as though he wanted to remember the face of this ‘prodigy’. He continued to say, “Generally, this kind of emperor-grade secret realm contains a lot of resources, and quite a few of them are rare resources….”
After that, Wu Ping looked at Mo Wen Dao, the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion, and Zhong Bai Nan, the other advanced Emperor of Gods. A hint of fear could be seen in the depths of his eyes when he looked at the duo. Similar to the others, he would have preferred it if everyone was separated after entering the emperor-grade secret realm. As long as he did not run into Mo Wen Dao and Zhong Bai Nan, he was rather optimistic that no one would be able to rob him. Alas, the worst-case scenario happened.
At the same time, Mo Wen Dao and Zhong Bai Nan exchanged a glance. They could see the wariness in each other’s eyes.
The three advanced Emperors of Gods were not afraid of the others, but now, they had to be wary of each other. Mo Wen Dao and Zhong Bai Nan were not afraid of Wu Ping unless they were heavily injured, but they were wary of each other. If they fought each other, they would also have to take Wu Ping into consideration beforehand. After all, Wu Ping might wait for them to be severely injured before he swooped in to take advantage of the situation.
Duan Ling Tian could naturally sense the tension between the three advanced Emperors of Gods. While the trio stared at each other, he did not stay idle. He surveyed his surroundings before he extended his Divine Consciousness.
However, as soon as Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness, the peace was instantly destroyed. The void rippled and twisted before it shattered, and a terrifying spatial storm surged out.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Except for Duan Ling Tian and Liu Wu You, all the rudimentary Emperors of Gods were instantly caught in the spatial storm and died.
Although the intermediate Emperors of Gods escaped unscathed, they were still slightly flustered.
Needless to say, the three advanced Emperors of Gods had the easiest time.
When the spatial storm swept out, Duan Ling Tian had brought Liu Wu You with him when he teleported away. If he did not teleport in time, he would have been severely injured even if he did not die. As for Liu Wu You, if Duan Ling Tian did not bring her away, she would have definitely died.
At this time, Zhong Bai Nan looked at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent shining in his eyes as he asked frostily, “What are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill us?”
Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel slightly embarrassed. After all, he was unaware that probing the secret realm with his Divine Consciousness would bring about such a consequence.
‘Wait…’
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian recalled that Wu Xiang Qian had mentioned earlier that he could explore the emperor-grade secret realm with his Divine Consciousness.
‘Did Wu Xiang Qian lie? Or is the rule for the other emperor-grade secret realms different from this one?’
At the same time, Mo Wen Dao, the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion, looked at Duan Ling Tian with a different gaze as he thought to himself, ‘His reaction was faster than that of an intermediate Emperor of Gods!’
