Chapter 4168 - The Lord of the Soaring Divine Kingdom

In the Southern Heaven Continent’s Soaring Divine Kingdom.

A majestic mountain collapsed as a thunderous explosion rang for thousands of miles, causing the earth to shake violently.

The living creatures nearby were alarmed by the commotion and scampered away.

Swoosh!

An unkempt figure appeared in the air. It belonged to a solemn-looking young girl. Her terrifying Divine Energy, which had been imbued with the law of destruction, raged around her body, seeming as though it could destroy everything in its path.

At this time, a tall and handsome middle-aged man rose from the rubble of the collapsed mountain. A fierce green energy burst forth from his body and turned into wind blades.

‘She’s an advanced Emperor of Gods, but she has the combat strength of a rudimentary Supreme God…’

A token could be seen above the handsome middle-aged man’s head. At a glance, the token looked ordinary, but its aura was extraordinary and seemed connected to the land. Energy surged into the token before the energy surged into his body, causing the wind that raged around him to grow even stronger.

The tall and handsome middle-aged man was Xiao Yi Yuan, the Lord of the Soaring Divine Kingdom.

At this moment, Xiao Yi Yuan stared at the girl in the distance with a solemn expression on his face. However, his eyes betrayed his shock as he muttered, “If I didn’t have the Lord’s Decree, I might not be her match…”

Xiao Yi Yuan did not expect that there would be an advanced Emperor of Gods in this world capable of defeating him, a rudimentary Supreme God. If it were not for the Lord’s Decree that granted him unparalleled power in his territory, he would not have been a match for the girl in front of him who was just an advanced Emperor of Gods.

“What happened? Your strength suddenly increased so much… It feels like you’re almost catching up to my senior sister…” the girl asked with a solemn expression on her delicate face. She did not expect that Xiao Yi Yuan, who was in a disadvantageous position during their fight, would suddenly burst forth with such terrifying power after bringing out a seemingly ordinary token.

Xiao Yi Yuan stared at the girl when he heard her words. Upon seeing that the girl did not seem to be lying, he could not help but shudder. After all, based on her words, even after he used his Lord’s Decree, he was still not as strong as her senior sister.

‘Who’s her senior sister?’ Xiao Yi Yuan wondered warily. Previously, when he saw that the girl possessed the strength of a rudimentary Supreme God despite only being an advanced Emperor of Gods, he suspected that she must have had an extraordinary background. Her words now confirmed his suspicion.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yi Yuan said in a deep voice, “Little girl, you’re no match for me.”

The girl nodded in acquiescence before she said, “It’s true that I’m no match for you with that token in your hand. However, that doesn’t mean you can kill me either…”

Following that, what seemed like a black bead that was roiling with energy appeared in her hand. Although the energy was contained in the black bead, the void rippled when the black bead appeared in her hand. At certain times, the air would turn still as though time had frozen.

Although Xiao Yi Yuan did not know what the black bead was, he could naturally tell it was extraordinary. Moreover, based on the girl’s words, it seemed like the black bead was something that could save her life. He did not think the black bead had offensive strength because it would be impossible for the girl to gain the upper hand relying on such a thing. Only the God of Creation would be able to create an offensive weapon that would allow her to defeat him. For this reason, he was certain the black bead would only save her life. Moreover, based on her attitude, it was obvious she was very confident about escaping from him.

‘If she escapes, I’ll not only offend her, but I’ll risk offending the force behind her as well…’ Xiao Yi Yuan thought to himself as his heart trembled. After a moment, he smiled and said, “Girl, I have no intention of killing you. In fact, I’m even willing to give you a chance. The Battle of the Divine Kingdoms in Destiny Canyon is coming up. Why don’t I give you a chance to represent the Soaring Divine Kingdom? What do you think?”

However, while Xiao Yi Yuan spoke, the girl flew away quickly. She held the black bead in her hand, looking as though she was ready to crush it at any moment.

Xiao Yi Yuan frowned slightly upon seeing this. After a moment, he flew after her as he said, “Girl, I’m sincere about this. Girl…”

Although the girl disturbed Xiao Yi Yuan’s closed-door cultivation and attacked him for no reason, which annoyed him greatly, he was wary and afraid of her, thinking that she might have the support of a powerful force. Then, he thought about the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms in Destiny Canyon that was coming up and decided to invite the girl to represent the Soaring Divine Kingdom during the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms. With her strength, he did not doubt that the Soaring Divine Kingdom would benefit greatly.

Xiao Yi Yuan was still wondering if the girl was unaware of the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms in Destiny Canyon or if she was already representing another Divine Kingdom when a cracking sound rang in the air.

The girl crushed the black bead in her hand.

Following that, an energy so strong that it startled Xiao Yi Yuan burst forth and shrouded the girl. It tore the space open before it brought the girl away. Perhaps, those who did not know better would have thought that she had used the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity, but he knew better. He could not sense the law of space in that energy at all. Instead, he could sense the law of destruction. He speculated that the black bead belonged to a powerhouse skilled in the law of destruction. Most importantly, the energy from the black bead was so strong that it could tear the space apart so easily. Even he, with the Lord’s Decree, could not have done it so easily.

“Who the hell is she?” Xiao Yi Yuan wondered out loud, still in shock.

At the same time, through the Lord’s Decree, Xiao Yi Yuan could sense that the girl had left the territory of the Soaring Divine Kingdom.

…

Meanwhile, a spatial tear appeared before a girl stepped out of the spatial tear. She was now in the Divine Kingdom next to the Soaring Divine Kingdom.

“If Eldest Senior Sister finds out that I used the life-saving treasure she gave me in the Trial of Gods, she’ll definitely punish me…” the girl muttered to herself with a frown, clearly worried, “Perhaps, when I leave this place, I should say that I gave the life-saving treasure to junior brother and that he was the one who used it… This is a good excuse! I’m so smart! Junior brother is so nice so I’m sure he’ll help me!”

…

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that someone had already chosen him to take the blame for something that he did not do. He followed Yun He and finally arrived at the capital of the Righteous Divine Kingdom.

The capital of the Righteous Divine Kingdom was naturally vast and magnificent. Duan Ling Tian was in awe when he saw the city from afar. The city looked ancient and imposing. Despite the countless years that had passed, it still stood tall and strong.

At this moment, Yun He said with a smile, “Brother Ling Tian, I’ll arrange a place for you to stay first. You can rest for a few days before I bring you to the Lord.”

“Thank you, Brother Yun He,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

…

Yun He arranged for Duan Ling Tian to stay in an independent courtyard in a large compound in the eastern part of the capital. He explained, “This compound is used to accommodate guests. This time, it’s used to accommodate all the mansion masters. Some mansion masters have already arrived, and some are still on their way. When everyone is here, the Lord will hold a banquet. It’s good for you to get acquainted with the other mansion masters. Perhaps, you’ll be able to look out for each other when you enter Destiny Canyon.”

After a brief pause, Yun He continued to say, “Of course, that doesn’t mean you can fully trust the others from the same Divine Kingdom… Even if I were able to enter Destiny Canyon, you shouldn’t trust me completely either. When there are conflicts of interest, even brothers would turn on each other…”

Although Yun He’s warning was redundant, Duan Ling Tian still listened patiently. After all, he could feel Yun He’s sincerity.

…

Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard came with attendants and servants to serve him. When he entered, a plaque with the words ‘Interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion’ appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, indicating that the courtyard was already occupied.

After chatting briefly with Duan Ling Tian, Yun He finally said before he left, “Brother Ling Tian, I’ll take my leave first. Please rest well. I’ll return in a few days.”

When Yun He left, he attracted two people’s attention.

“Isn’t that Yun He, the messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom and our Lord’s right-hand man?”

Those who lived in the compound were mansion masters of Mansions in the Righteous Divine Kingdom. As such, the duo easily recognized Yun He.

Yun He was sent as a messenger to the Divine Mansion Spirit, but he was the Vice Commander of the Righteous Divine Kingdom’s Imperial Army in the Imperial Palace. His strength was not any weaker than the various mansion masters in the Righteous Divine Kingdom.

“Yun He personally sent someone here? Who’s so privileged to get such treatment?”

“Even you and I weren’t sent here by someone with Yun He’s status…”

The duo, who were drinking tea, sounded dissatisfied when they spoke. Needless to say, despite their dissatisfaction, they naturally did not dare to ask too much. It was likely that the other person that Yun He personally led here was not someone to be trifled with.

“I’m curious as to which mansion’s mansion master received such treatment.”

Apart from the two mansion masters, there were also quite a few mansion masters who noticed Yun He. All of them were rather curious.

There was no such thing as an absolute secret in this world. It did not take long before they found the answer to their question.

“The interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion?”

“A rudimentary Emperor of Gods capable of killing advanced Emperors of Gods?”
