Chapter 4219 The Death of a Supreme God

‘Whatever it is, I’ll defend with all my might! I have no other choice now!’

The old man panicked when thought about how the young man still had his bloodline power as a trump card. However, he quickly calmed down, and his expression was solemn as he began to defend himself with all his might. The wall in front of him seemed to be fortified, and its aura was stronger than before.

“If you can survive the next attack, you can leave,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Upon hearing this, the old man instinctively thought that Duan Ling Tian was finally going to use his bloodline power. As such, he was stunned when Duan Ling Tian made his move.

!!

‘He’s not using his bloodline power?’

Swoosh!

A seven-colored sword ray swept out again. This time, it did not only contain the Mastery Dao, but it also carried a fierce and chilling sword intent.

The old man sensed the huge threat from the sword ray and shuddered in fear. “This… This is the Sword Dao?”

The old man’s expression changed again. He did not expect the person in front of him to comprehend the Sword Dao, another one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.

‘Is he really just an advanced Emperor of Gods?’

The old man could not understand how an existence like Duan Ling Tian existed in the world. Duan Ling Tian was only an advanced Emperor of Gods, but Duan Ling Tian had already comprehended the Sword Dao and the Mastery Dao. Moreover, the Daos he comprehended were past their rudimentary forms. He had never heard of anyone achieving such a feat, let alone meet anyone like that.

Boom!

When the sword ray collided with the old man’s defensive wall, a thunderous explosion rang in the air again. The commotion this time was much louder than before. The void shook violently, looking as though it was about to tear.

In the next moment, the impregnable wall shattered.

An expression of despair had just appeared on the old man’s face upon seeing this. Before he could mobilize his Divine Energy, the seven-colored sword ray pierced his body. Following that, countless small seven-colored sword rays exploded out of his body, killing him.

At the moment of the old man’s death, a huge phantom figure appeared in the air. It let out an unwilling cry before it fell.

Those who were far away could clearly see this scene. It was the phenomenon that appeared when a Supreme God died.

Duan Ling Tian had long heard about this phenomenon from Yang Yu Chen, his Third Senior Brother. However, this is the first time he saw the phenomenon. This phenomenon that indicated the death of a rudimentary and intermediate Supreme God would only appear on the Realm Battlefield. If a rudimentary or intermediate Supreme God died in the outside world, the phenomenon would not appear at all. Such a phenomenon would only appear in the outside world when an advanced Supreme God died.

As for supreme powerhouses, when they died, a phenomenon would appear in all the Realms of Gods, Devata Realms, and the mundane realms.

It had been many, many years since a supreme powerhouse died. As such, Duan Ling Tian who was only almost 900 years old naturally had never seen the phenomenon that appeared upon the death of a supreme powerhouse.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the huge phenomenon and sighed emotionally. “How spectacular.”

Yang Yu Chen smiled faintly and said, “This is just the phenomenon of a rudimentary Supreme God. The phenomenon that appears upon the death of an intermediate Supreme God is even more spectacular. As for the phenomenon that appears upon the death of an advanced Supreme God, it’s so eye-catching that it can be seen from far away. As you can imagine, the commotion caused by such a phenomenon is huge as well.”

Even on the Realm Battlefield, advanced Supreme Gods rarely died. After all, they were extremely powerful. Moreover, to be able to cultivate to such a level, their survival instincts were extremely high compared to the average person. They had a keen sense of danger and would often, correctly, choose to avoid the danger. Apart from that, they had an advantage over the others on the Realm Battlefield. Ordinary Voice Transmission did not work on the Realm Battlefield, but they, advanced Supreme Gods, had their own means to call for reinforcements. For all these reasons, they were extremely difficult to kill.

Before Duan Ling Tian could collect the old man’s belongings, the reward shone down on him from the sky, and he quickly absorbed it.

Yang Yu Chen, who was standing nearby, watched in amazement and said, “Junior brother, if you go all out, only a few rudimentary Supreme Gods are a match for you.”

Yang Yu Chen knew very well that Duan Ling Tian did not use his full strength even when Duan Ling Tian killed the rudimentary Supreme God from the Zen Boundary Land who comprehended the law of earth. After all, Duan Ling Tian did not even use his doppelgangers from the laws. However, despite Duan Ling Tian’s amazing strength, he did not dare to say that Duan Ling Tian was the strongest among all rudimentary Supreme Gods. After all, there were incredibly powerful rudimentary Supreme Gods who had also comprehended the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. He, himself, was a good example. He was about 90% confident that he would be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian when he was a rudimentary Supreme God. Nonetheless, he was still shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s strength. After all, Duan Ling Tian had just become an advanced Emperor of Gods not too long ago. In the past, he only possessed such strength when he was on the brink of becoming an intermediate Supreme God.

“Junior brother, once you become a rudimentary Supreme God, you’ll be invincible among rudimentary Supreme Gods,” Yang Yu Chen said confidently. He was absolutely certain about it.

Yang Yu Chen continued to say, “Moreover, with your strength, you’ll still be able to fight against weaker intermediate Supreme Gods…”

…

Days flew by as Duan Ling Tian continued to follow Yang Yu Chen on the Profound Zen Battlefield. They hunted people from the Zen Boundary Land, and as a result, Duan Ling Tian’s strength and his combat experience rose rapidly.

Time passed so quickly that soon the ten years that Duan Ling Tian agreed to spend with Yang Yu Chen was almost up.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian was getting closer and closer to the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God thanks to the rewards he received. Apart from that, Yang Yu Chen, his Third Senior Brother, also kept an eye on him and guided him after he consumed two of the three Heavenly Dao Fruits that he obtained from the emperor-grade secret realm, which appeared when he broke through the realm of an Emperor of Gods, in the Trial of Gods.

The Heavenly Dao Fruit is one of the three most precious treasures that could help an advanced Emperor of Gods to become a rudimentary Supreme God. Based on Yang Yu Chen’s words, it was extremely rare for three Heavenly Dao Fruits to appear in the emperor-grade secret realm that would open when one broke through the realm of an Emperor of Gods.

However, there were no Heavenly Dao Fruits in the supreme-grade secret realm that appeared after one became a Supreme God. It was only natural since Heavenly Dao Fruits were only useful to Emperors of Gods, not Supreme Gods.

“Third Senior Brother, in the Trial of Gods, an emperor-grade secret realm and a supreme-grade secret realm will appear when one breaks through the realm of an Emperor of Gods and a Supreme God respectively. Is it the same on the Realm Battlefield?” Duan Ling Tian asked Yang Yu Chen.

Yang Yu Chen replied, “No. Emperor-grade and supreme-grade secret realms won’t appear on the Realm Battlefield. The Trial of Gods is created by a few supreme powerhouses to imitate the Realm Battlefield, but it’s very different from the Realm Battlefield. The Trial of Gods has inhabitants; it’s like a world of its own there. On the contrary, the Realm Battlefield is just a place.” After a moment, he added, “Fourth Junior Sister knows this very well. That’s likely why she didn’t hesitate to break through in Destiny Canyon. Even if she broke through outside of Destiny Canyon, she knew she wouldn’t benefit much from entering the supreme-grade secret realm that would appear after her breakthrough.”

Previously, Lang Chun Yuan had broken through and became a rudimentary Supreme God in the Trial of Gods’ Destiny Canyon. At that time, a supreme-grade secret realm had appeared as well. However, due to the lack of people, the secret realm remained closed. She had long expected this and had planned to give up on the secret realm from the very start.

“Apart from the steady stream of rewards, you’ve also consumed two Heavenly Dao Fruits. After absorbing the rewards, your cultivation path will be free from obstructions. However, if you feel like it’s getting very difficult to make progress, take the last Heavenly Dao Fruit. If I’m not mistaken, when you reach that point, you’ll be very close to becoming a Supreme God. After consuming the last Heavenly Dao Fruit, you’ll very likely become a Supreme God. At the very least, you’ll be only a short step away from becoming one,” Yang Yu Chen, who had a good understanding of Duan Ling Tian’s situation, said.

Yang Yu Chen paused for a while before he said again, “Based on my calculations, it’ll take at least two years before you reach that point. You’ll have to work hard on the Divine Offering Land and the Sanction Land’s Realm Battlefield to become a Supreme God.”

Yang Yu Chen’s eyes were filled with anticipation when he spoke about this. Once Duan Ling Tian became a Supreme God, there would be five Supreme Gods in the Inner Palace faction. This was unprecedented in the history of the Inner Palace faction. At most, there were only four Supreme Gods at a time in the Inner Palace faction.

“I understand,” Duan Ling Tian replied solemnly with a nod.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian continued to follow Yang Yu Chen to wander the Realm Battlefield.

“Let’s go into the inner area of the battlefield. Hopefully, we’ll be able to meet an intermediate Supreme God suitable for your training. You can only go against weak intermediate Supreme Gods for now. With your current strength, you’re no match even for an ordinary intermediate Supreme God…”

‘Intermediate Supreme God!’

Duan Ling Tian and Yang Yu Chen had been on the Profound Zen Battlefield for eight years now. They had encountered many Supreme Gods during that time, but they were only rudimentary Supreme Gods.

After arriving in the inner area of the Profound Zen Battlefield, Duan Ling Tian and Yang Yu Chen finally ran into not one, but two intermediate Supreme Gods.

The two intermediate Supreme Gods were a young man and a middle-aged respectively.

The young man was dressed in a beautiful brocade robe. He was handsome and possessed a pair of piercing eyes.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a white robe. He was tall and burly, and he had a small beard.

Before Duan Ling Tian and Yang Yu Chen could react, the two intermediate Supreme Gods had already surrounded them.

The middle-aged man said, “An intermediate Supreme God and an advanced Emperor of Gods… Do elders from the Profound Energy Land like to bring their juniors around with them all the time?”

Following that, the young man clicked his tongue, making a disapproving noise, before he said, “I wonder if this intermediate Supreme God has a grudge against his junior? Otherwise, why would he bring his junior to the inner area to die?”
