Chapter 4184 - Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus

“This…”

After looking at the ranking list, Duan Ling Tian discovered that Lang Chun Yuan, his Fourth Senior Sister, still firmly occupied the first place. However, her points had changed.

‘Lang Chun Yuan, Righteous Divine Kingdom, 1,356 points.’

Duan Ling Tian did a double take before he murmured to himself, “Fourth Senior Sister’s points increased so much in just a few days?”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian looked down the list. He found that he was no longer in second place. In fact, he was not even in the top ten.

“Mansion Master Fang?”

Duan Ling Tian was no stranger to the person who currently occupied second place. Similar to him, the other party represented the Righteous Divine Kingdom as well. The other party was Fang Xiong Lei, the Mansion Master of the Righteous Divine Kingdom’s Cloudy Garden Mansion, and his strongest law was the law of thunder. He was rather powerful and was just half a step away from entering the realm of a Supreme God; he was an imminent Supreme God.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had witnessed Fang Xiong Lei’s strength during the banquet hosted by Zhu Ying Jun, the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom. At that time, he concluded that he was yet to be a match for Fang Xiong Lei. To be on par with Fang Xiong Lei, he had to at least become an intermediate Emperor of Gods, and to defeat Fang Xiong Lei, he had to completely stabilize his cultivation base in the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods.

‘Fang Xiong Lei, Righteous Divine Kingdom, 632 points.’

Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he looked at Fang Xiong Lei’s points.”Although he’s ranked second, his points are far behind those of Fourth Senior Sister…”

Compared to Lang Chun Yuan, Fang Xiong Lei’s points were a lot lower.

Duan Ling Tian continued to look at the list. None of those who ranked from third to tenth were from the Righteous Divine Kingdom, and he was not familiar with them either. He looked down the list again, and before he found his name, he saw another familiar name.

‘Yun He, Righteous Divine Kingdom, 357 points.’

When Duan Ling Tian found his name on the ranking list, he discovered that not only had he dropped out of the ten places, but he was not even in the top 30 places. At this time, he was ranked 39th.

Soon after Duan Ling Tian saw his name, there was a flash. When he looked at the ranking again, he found that he had fallen down one place.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head. ’40th place? This ranking is a little low. The lord will be disappointed if he sees my rank, right?’

Although there were quite a few advanced Emperors of Gods from the Righteous Divine Kingdom who were stronger than Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian knew that the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom had high expectations for him. In the eyes of the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, he was someone with great luck.

Powerhouses did not necessarily dominate the Destiny Canyon’s Battle of the Divine Kingdom. Although strength would give one huge advantage, luck played a very important part.

For example, the person, who held the record of accumulating the highest point in the history of the Destiny Canyon’s Battle of the Divine Kingdoms, was only an intermediate Emperor of Gods when he first entered Destiny Canyon. His strength in the beginning was only comparable to that of an ordinary advanced Emperor of Gods. At that time, he did not even possess a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. However, in the end, amazingly, he managed to accumulate 8,000 points.

Lang Chun Yuan currently ranked first and had accumulated more than 1,000 points after entering the Destiny Canyon for a while. Following this trend, she should not have a problem accumulating 5,000 points. However, it would be difficult for her to accumulate more than 6,000 points.

For the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms, it would only become more difficult as the end drew near. This was due to the inhabitants of the canyon that would drive all the participants to the heart of the canyon. At that time, all the inhabitants would have to compete with each other. Although the strong had the advantage, they also risked being targeted by a huge group of people.

As for the weak, they had a higher chance of surviving if they joined forces with others. If they could not find anyone to work with, they could only lay low and hope to survive. If they were lucky enough, they might be able to leave the canyon alive.

Depending on the situation, Destiny Canyon could be dangerous and safe.

After being driven to the heart of Destiny Canyon, many people would opt to join forces to increase their chances of survival. There were also some who would search for an independent realm to hide in, waiting until the time when they would be transported out of Destiny Canyon. Needless to say, it would depend on one’s luck whether one could find an independent realm or not. Moreover, even if one found an independent realm, one would have to possess the courage to enter the independent realm as well. After all, most independent realms had tests in them, and failing to pass the tests would result in death as well.

“I don’t know where I am now… I wonder if the disturbances in Destiny Canyon have begun…”

After removing the Formation that shrouded the hidden cave at the foot of a mid-sized mountain he had cultivated in his and putting away his Formation compass,Duan Ling Tian flew up into the sky.

Swoosh!

When Duan Ling Tian flew up, he could sense his Divine Energy surging in his body. He could sense the great improvements and progress in his cultivation and that he had reached the limit in the realm of a rudimentary Emperor of Gods.

“To progress, the next thing I need to do is to attempt to break into the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods.”

All of a sudden, Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. He had sensed something.

“It’s in that direction…”

In the distance, a thunderous commotion could be heard. It was the sound of a fierce battle. Moreover, it did not sound like only two people were fighting; it sounded like a group of people was fighting.

“Isn’t that the mountain range that I came out of previously?”

Filled with curiosity, Duan Ling Tian stealthily made his way over. He was only on the brink of becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods and had yet to break through. As such, it was better for him to keep a low profile. Moreover, he only wanted to see what was going on now, it would be counterproductive if he rushed over and showed himself. Moreover, there were still advanced Emperors of Gods like Fang Xiong Lei who were a threat to him. However, although he might not be able to defeat them now, he was confident about escaping from them.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

After teleporting twice, Duan Ling Tian found a place to hide before he observed the situation.

At this time, two groups of advanced Emperor of Gods were engaged in a fierce battle. They did not pay attention to their surroundings and failed to sense Duan Ling Tian’s presence. Moreover, they likely did not expect that a lone cultivator would dare to approach under such circumstances. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to hide from them.

“These two groups of people…”

Duan Ling Tian, who was hiding, looked at the two groups of people and found them unfamiliar. They were not among the people he had seen outside of Destiny Canyon. However, he was certain that they were participants like him and not inhabitants of Destiny Canyon.

“Why are they fighting in groups?”

In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, if the fight continued, both sides would suffer losses, and in turn, affect the performance of their respective Divine Kingdoms. However, his eyes soon lit up when he heard those people’s words as they fought.

One of the powerful advanced Emperors of Gods shouted, “We discovered the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus first. You people from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom have crossed the line!”

The advanced Emperor of Gods who had spoken was in a group of six while the other group from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom had seven people. However, despite being short of one person, the other group managed to fight on equal ground with the group of seven people from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom. Based on this, it was clear that the individual strength of the six people was higher than that of the group from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom.

At this time, someone from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom scoffed and said disdainfully, “The Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus isn’t yours! Even if it were, everyone could fight for it in Destiny Canyon! Have you forgotten that we came to Destiny Canyon to participate in the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms? What do you think the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms is? Isn’t like what we’re doing now?”

With this, the fight grew even more intense.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who was still hiding, overheard the conversation. His eyes brightened immediately, and his heart skipped a beat. He shifted his gaze over to the lofty mountain range in front of him. He saw the projection of a flaming lotus in the sky. The lotus shone brightly, illuminating the vast land.

The projection of the lotus was a distinctive trait of the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus, a legendary divine pill. It was a divine pill for the exclusive use of Emperors of Gods. Although the divine pill could not raise the strength of an Emperor of Gods, if an Emperor of Gods consumed the divine pill, his or her chances of becoming a Supreme God would rise greatly. Even if one had no talent, after consuming the divine pill, one would eventually become a Supreme God.

The main reason so many people wanted to participate in the Destiny Canyon’s Battle of the Divine Kingdoms was the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus.

“According to Brother Yun He, every time Destiny Canyon appears, there’ll be six Earth Flaming Buddha Lotuses at most. To think one of them is in the mountain range in front of me… No wonder flying is prohibited in this place. Initially, I assumed that the supreme powerhouses had placed the restriction here. As it turns out, it’s because of the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus. After all, there’ll always be abnormalities when Earth Flaming Buddha Lotuses grow. The flight restriction in this place must be one of the abnormalities…” Duan Ling Tian murmured to himself as he looked at the lofty mountain range.

“I didn’t expect that I’d be so lucky, being transported to the birthplace of an Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus as soon as I entered Destiny Canyon. Seeing that the flight restriction is gone now, it’s clear that the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus has reached the critical stage of maturity…” Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath as he looked at the two groups of people fighting fiercely in the sky. The flight restriction was clearly gone.

“The Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus is a rare treasure… If I can obtain it, even if I have no use for it, I can exchange it for a lot of treasures or give it to the people around me… After all, not everyone has the potential to become a Supreme God…” Duan Ling Tian murmured to himself as his mind shifted to his family and friends.
