4252 Testing the Divine Energy
On the Realm Battlefields, cultivators with the same cultivation bases from the same Realm of Gods rarely fought each other unless they had a grudge between them. After all, one would not gain battle merits from killing someone from the same Realm of Gods. Moreover, one’s opponent’s spatial ring would also self-destruct. At most, one would gain the opponent’s prominent divine artifact if one was lucky enough. All in all, one would risk injuries without anything to gain. It was fine if it was just a minor injury, but the consequences would be grim if they were severely injured. They would inevitably be at a disadvantage if they ran into opponents from another Realm of Gods.
For this reason, the middle-aged rudimentary Supreme God, whom Duan Ling Tian met, was unwilling to fight Duan Ling Tian after discovering that Duan Ling Tian was also a rudimentary Supreme God from the Divine Offering Land. He would gain nothing from the fight. At most, he would gain Duan Ling Tian’s prominent divine artifact.
However, after the middle-aged man heard that Duan Ling Tian had just broken through and became a rudimentary Supreme God, killing intent rose in his heart. In his opinion, it was unlikely for him to sustain injuries fighting a new rudimentary Supreme God, and he would also be able to obtain Duan Ling Tian’s prominent divine artifact without much effort.
“There’s no need to hold back, and it doesn’t matter even if one of us dies?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly stunned by the middle-aged man’s words. However, he quickly realized the middle-aged man’s intentions. He smiled indifferently and calmly said, “I have no problem with that. However, I’ll give you one chance to think about it again. You can still change your mind, and we’ll spar casually. I won’t kill you during our fight. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing mercy later.”
The middle-aged man scoffed before he said with a sneer, “Boy, you just broke through and became a rudimentary Supreme God. How dare you speak so arrogantly to me? Do you think you’ll be able to intimidate me with your words? How ridiculous! I’ve confirmed that you’ve just broken through, and you’ve yet to stabilize your cultivation base. Someone like you thinks you can kill me?”
The middle-aged man did not wait for Duan Ling Tian’s reply and attacked as soon as he finished speaking. The void rippled before scorching flames appeared and shot toward Duan Ling Tian.
Who knew if Duan Ling Tian’s words made the middle-aged man wary or if the middle-aged man wanted to end the fight quickly, but as soon as he made a move, he brought his prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul, which was a folding fan, out. He opened the folding fan and waved it, stirring up the flames, which looked like they could burn the world, even more as they surged toward Duan Ling Tian.
Based on the middle-aged man’s Divine Energy when he attacked, it was obvious that he had completely stabilized his cultivation base. His Divine Energy was unlike Duan Ling Tian’s chaotic Divine Energy.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression did not change when he saw the middle-aged man’s attack. He quickly grasped the middle-aged man’s strength as he thought to himself, ‘Although he can’t be considered to be among the strongest rudimentary Supreme Gods, his strength isn’t that bad… Nonetheless, I can easily defeat him without using any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth or my doppelganger. In fact, I could’ve killed him even before my breakthrough.’
Duan Ling Tian released his chaotic Divine Energy before he cast his law of space.
Following that, a faint phenomenon that shone for 100,000 miles appeared.
The Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s hand at this time. With just a wave of the sword, seven-colored sword rays, which had been imbued with his Divine Energy and the law of space, swept out toward the roaring flames.
boxn ov el. c o m‘The phenomenon that shines for 100,000 miles!’
Initially, the middle-aged man wore a mocking smile on his face. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was biting off more than he could chew. However, when he saw the phenomenon that appeared after Duan Ling Tian cast the law of space, his smile vanished immediately and was replaced with a solemn expression.
“As it turns out, you’re not completely useless. To think that you’ve comprehended the law of space to such a level! Alas, even with this, you still won’t be able to kill me!” the middle-aged man said.
At this time, the roaring flames finally collided with the seven-colored sword rays. A dazzling light exploded like fireworks upon their collision. In the end, their first confrontation ended in a tie.
“I underestimated you… However, with your strength, even if you have a powerful bloodline power, at most we’ll fight to a draw! You’re not strong enough to kill me!”
Despite his words, the middle-aged man no longer dared to look down on Duan Ling Tian and took the fight seriously. In fact, as soon as he saw the phenomenon that shone for 100,000 miles, he also knew that it would be difficult for him to kill Duan Ling Tian. Even if he was stronger than Duan Ling Tian, it would be difficult for him to kill Duan Ling Tian in a short time. After all, Duan Ling Tian comprehended the law of space, and it would be difficult for him to catch up to Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian decided to flee.
In terms of speed, the law of wind was first followed by the law of space and the law of time, which were two of the Four Supreme Laws. It was generally very difficult to kill those who comprehended these laws unless their strength was very weak.
Although the middle-aged man was aware of these things, he still did not think Duan Ling Tian was capable of defeating him, let alone killing him. As such, he did not retreat. The only way he would stop the fight was if Duan Ling Tian took the initiative to do so. After all, he was not any weaker than Duan Ling Tian.
Swoosh!
Blood mist swirled around the middle-aged man’s body at this moment before his Supreme God Phenomenon, which was more than ten meters tall, appeared.
Only rudimentary Supreme Gods who had stabilized their cultivation bases were able to manifest Supreme God Phenomena. As such, Duan Ling Tian had yet to gain the ability to do so.
“Boy, I’m surprised by your comprehension of the law of space. However, you’ve yet to stabilize your cultivation base, and your Divine Energy is chaotic. As such, you’re no match for me!”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he attacked with his Supreme God Phenomenon. The flames surged even higher in the sky, looking like they were going to burn the world to the ground.
Duan Ling Tian stood in the sea of fire calmly as the blood mist spread out and fused with the flames, stirring up the flames further. Based on this, it could be seen that the middle-aged man’s bloodline power helped to boost his law. After his law was boosted by his bloodline power, even if it could not manifest a phenomenon that shone for 100,000 miles, one could still vaguely see a faint phenomenon. This usually indicated that one’s comprehension of the law was almost capable of manifesting the phenomenon that shone for 100,000 miles, which the middle-aged man easily achieved with his bloodline power.
The middle-aged man was sure he would be able to suppress and force Duan Ling Tian to escape with this move.
However, Duan Ling Tian only said with a faint smile on his face, “Your bloodline power is not bad…”
Following that, Duan Ling Tian attacked with his doppelganger and the Daos of Heaven and Earth. However, even so, he failed to gain the upper hand.
“Boy, if you don’t use your bloodline power, you’ll die within 30 moves,” the middle-aged man said in a voice dripping with condescension. In fact, he was sure he could kill Duan Ling Tian within ten moves if Duan Ling Tian did not use his bloodline power. He had only said those words in order to make Duan Ling Tian lower his guard, hoping to catch Duan Ling Tian off guard and kill Duan Ling Tian.
The middle-aged man thought that Duan Ling Tian refused to use his bloodline power because Duan Ling Tian wanted to test his newfound strength and Divine Energy. When he had just become a rudimentary Supreme God, he had also been eager to find someone to test his strength. In the past, he found an elder to test his strength with so he had the time to slowly explore and test his strength. Since he had no relations with Duan Ling Tian, he was naturally not going to waste time helping Duan Ling Tian to test his strength.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian did not seem to hear the middle-aged man’s words at all. He thought to himself with a sigh, ‘My Divine Energy is indeed holding me back… With this alone, I won’t be able to defeat him within ten moves.’
At this time, Duan Ling Tian had already grasped his current shortcomings.
At the same time, the middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with excitement. ‘I only need three strikes to crush his attack!’
In the middle-aged man’s opinion, as long as he crushed Duan Ling Tian’s attack, he would be able to seriously injure Duan Ling Tian. Once Duan Ling Tian was injured, even if Duan Ling Tian used his bloodline power, Duan Ling Tian would be unable to escape. At that time, he would be able to kill Duan Ling Tian.
At the moment when the middle-aged man thought he was about to seriously injure Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian suddenly said tonelessly, “Alright, I’m going to stop playing with you.”
Following that, the aura of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand changed immediately. Earlier, he did not display the full strength of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, or his abilities for that matter. Now, he unleashed the full strength of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword after it had absorbed the fragment of the prime divine artifact. However, he also knew that unless he used more of his abilities, he would not be able to defeat his opponent. This was in line with his intention since he wanted to familiarize himself with his newfound strength.
“Huh?”
Initially, the middle-aged man was a little wary after sensing the changes in the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. However, after a moment, he sneered. In his opinion, even if the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword had grown stronger, at most, Duan Ling Tian could only hold on for a few more moves.
‘However, even if he doesn’t realize the danger is in, his artifact soul is different. It seems like it’ll be quite difficult for me to kill him…’
The middle-aged man felt a little regretful at this moment, thinking that his prey might escape soon after being alerted by his artifact soul.
