“Don’t blame you for not showing mercy? How are you going to do that?” Duan Ling Tian asked. He found Liu Yin’s words amusing. At the same time, he grew even more confident and courageous.
With the help of his doppelganger and the divine pills to replenish his Divine Energy, Duan Ling Tian was able to suppress a White Dragon Elder like Liu Yin, after all.
Liu Yin’s expression became even more unsightly when he saw how dismissive Duan Ling Tian was of his threats. He said in a dark voice, “Duan Ling Tian, if you stop this now, I’ll give you all the wealth I possess. In addition, after leaving this place, I’ll go to the 10,000 Devils Sect and deal with all your enemies there…”
Faced with Liu Yin’s words, Duan Ling Tian only smiled indifferently and said, “Your things will belong to me once I kill you anyway. As for the 10,000 Devils Sect, don’t you think I can handle them on my own?”
After saying that, Duan Ling Tian’s smile widened.
No matter how Liu Yin tried to convince him, Duan Ling Tian’s attacks only increased.
Liu Yin continued to fall into a disadvantageous position. It was clear that his death was imminent at this point. His expression turned twisted as he cried out, “Duan Ling Tian, you forced me to do this!”
Then, a life-like projection of Liu Yin’s Little World suddenly appeared in the air.
“This is… his Little World?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened slightly.
Similar to those in the Devata Realms, the natives of the Realms of Gods could detonate their Little Worlds as well.
The force of the explosion depended on one’s enemy and one’s cultivation bases. Needless to say, the explosion would not be able to kill an enemy with a higher cultivation base. However, these acts of detonating the Little World were not a true explosion. A true explosion was one when one could manifest one’s Little World before detonating it like Liu Yin did. Under normal circumstances, only someone at or above the stage of an Emperor of Gods was capable of true detonation of the Little World. Hence, there was a saying about how Emperors of Gods or those who were stronger could not be humiliated in the Realms of Gods. If one cornered them, they could unleash the full force of the detonation of their Little Worlds. The force of the explosion could even kill those with a higher cultivation base, let alone those with a similar or lower cultivation base.
‘Apart from those at or above the stage of an Emperor of Gods, only those who have mastered a secret technique are capable of a true detonation of the Little World. I didn’t expect Liu Yin to have mastered such a technique…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, feeling a great sense of crisis.
Duan Ling Tian tried to teleport away, but he soon discovered that Liu Yin had already disrupted the space around him again. Clearly, Liu Yin had been prepared for this.
“It’s too late for you to escape now!” Liu Yin said fiercely as his eyes shone with madness, “Duan Ling Tian, this is what you asked for! I’ve already given you a chance earlier!”
In Liu Yin’s opinion, Duan Ling Tian would definitely beg him not to detonate his Little World out of fear. Unexpectedly, not only did Duan Ling Tian not beg him, but Duan Ling Tian even said indifferently, “I’m done playing with you.”
As soon as his voice fell, Duan Ling Tian raised his hand, and a colorful prominent divine sword appeared in his hand.
The sword’s aura was extremely terrifying, and as soon as it appeared, the prominent divine sword in Liu Yin’s hand dimmed immediately.
At the same time, a steady stream of vitality energy surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s Little Word, shrouding his entire body. A slightly translucent tree with swaying branches that emitted a rich vitality energy appeared at his back as well.
“The Divine Tree of Life?” Liu Yin’s eyes widened in shock. “This sword has an, has a complete artifact soul?! So these are the secrets you’ve been hiding?!”
While Liu Yin was still in shock, Duan Ling Tian made a move. He swung the sword in his hand and brought it down on Liu Yin’s head with a force that seemed like it could destroy everything that stood in its path.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian no longer concealed the level of his comprehension of the Mastery Dao and the Sword Dao. Previously, he revealed half of his comprehension of the Mastery Dao, which was only slightly stronger than the rudimentary stage. Hence, its strength was limited. Now that he no longer concealed them, his strength increased by leaps and bounds.
‘Sword Dao? Didn’t he only comprehend it to the rudimentary stage?! Also, when did he comprehend the Mastery Dao? He’s a monster! He actually comprehended the Mastery Dao as well! No wonder he was so powerful even though the force from his law of space wasn’t that strong earlier. He had hidden his Mastery Dao within his law of space! Damn it! How could a brat who’s not even 3,000 years old have such means? Nonetheless, he’ll still have to die today! Being able to kill such a person, it won’t be in vain even if my soul is destroyed!’
Liu Yin laughed maniacally.
At the same time, the Little World he manifested began to shake and show signs of collapse as a terrifying force swept out. The force was not any weaker than the full force of an advanced Emperor of Gods!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the Little World exploded, Liu Yin’s body was destroyed without any suspense. However, his soul survived and shot away, watching everything from a distance.
“I want to watch as this outstanding prodigy dies in my hands!”
Liu Yin’s voice was transmitted into Duan Ling Tian’s voice, and he said, “I’m afraid I’m going to have to disappoint you.”
Then, Duan Ling Tian raised his sword, and an equally terrifying force swept down from the sky like a tsunami.
The two forces collided fiercely, and the terrifying shockwave swept toward Duan Ling Tian.
Boom!
Duan Ling Tian, who was still holding the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, was sent flying by the shockwave in just an instant.
The remaining force from the explosion continued to sweep toward Duan Ling Tian like a ferocious beast that intended to devour him with one bite.
Suddenly…
Swoosh!
The figure of a beautiful woman appeared next to Duan Ling Tian. The woman, who was dressed in a colorful robe, looked at the incoming force indifferent as she raised her hand. In just a blink of an eye, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword appeared in her hand. Then, she transformed into a huge seven-colored sword ray, protecting Duan Ling Tian.
Following that, thousands of smaller seven-colored sword rays appeared, protecting Duan Ling Tian from the incoming force.
The branches of the Divine Tree of Life behind Duan Ling Tian swayed violently as the vitality energy shrouding Duan Ling Tian extended and shrouded the sword rays as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A thunderous explosion reverberated in the air as the force crashed against the thousands of seven-colored sword rays and the vitality energy.

After the collision, the sword rays dimmed immediately, looking as though they would break at any time. Fortunately, with the supply of vitality energy, the sword rays managed to repair themselves until they were just as dazzling as before.
Swoosh!
When the shockwave dissipated and what was left was only a gust of strong wind, the Divine Tree of Life behind Duan Ling Tian disappeared, and the seven-colored sword rays returned to his body as well.
“No! Impossible!” Liu Yin’s soul, which should have been destroyed, stared at the scene in front of him in shock and disbelief.
“Elder Liu Yin, despite being an intermediate Lord of Gods, you managed to master the technique of a true detonation. It seems like you had a fortuitous encounter…” Duan Ling Tian said tonelessly as he looked at Liu Yin’s soul in the distance with a smile on his face. He did not make a move to destroy Liu Yin’s soul.
Upon seeing the unharmed Duan Ling Tian, Liu Yin roared angrily, filled with resentment and unwillingness. Perhaps, due to the instability of his soul, his agitation caused his soul to shatter.
After the destruction of Liu Yin’s soul, Duan Ling Tian searched the place where Liu Yin’s physical body was standing earlier and found Liu Yin’s spatial ring and weapon. The shockwave did not destroy the spatial ring and the weapon.
“Although I gained a lot from the battle, the price is a bit high…” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself. He did not bother looking at the spatial ring and put it away for the time being. He was most concerned with Huang’er, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, and the Divine Tree of Life at this moment.
Although Duan Ling Tian seemed majestic and invincible when faced with the shockwave from Liu Yin’s true detonation, it was not as effortless as it seemed.
“Huang’er, are you okay?” Duan Ling Tian asked gently.
“Master, I… I’m fine… I suffered some minor injuries, but I’ll recover after a while. Master, I’m afraid you won’t be able to use the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword for a while…”
“It’s fine. Recuperate well,” Duan Ling Tian said with a sigh before he examined the Divine Tree of Life in his Little World.
The usually dazzling Divine Tree of Life was slightly dim at this moment. Apart from that, it was also absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his Little World to heal itself.
