Chapter 4185 - The Fight Comes to a Stop

Duan Ling Tian was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus. He did not expect to be so lucky. However, his excitement died down a little when he remembered the two groups of people fighting over the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus.

‘With my strength, it’s not realistic for me to openly snatch the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus from them. It’s only close to reaching maturity and has yet to reach full maturity. Otherwise, they would have rushed over to it by now. Even if there are no winners, they’ll likely stop fighting when it reaches full maturity. At that time, it’ll be difficult for me to fish in troubled waters. I’ll have a better chance of obtaining it if I make a move now. However, I can’t make a move now since it has yet to reach full maturity. Alas, I’m still too weak…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a hint of helplessness.

At the same time, the two groups of people who were fighting unknowingly drew closer to the place where Duan Ling Tian was hiding. Upon seeing this, a strange expression appeared on his face as his eyes flashed.

The two groups of people were from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom respectively.

The people from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom were the first to discover the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus thanks to the phenomenon that appeared when it was about to reach full maturity. Unfortunately, before it fully matured and before they could seize it, the people from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom arrived.

‘Where are the people from the other Divine Kingdoms?’

Looking at the people from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom, Duan Ling Tian suddenly wondered if there were people from the other Divine Kingdoms lying in wait nearby, patiently waiting for the chance to swoop in and snatch the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter…’

Duan Ling Tian quickly dismissed his thoughts. Although he thought that there were likely other people lying in wait, when he saw the people from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom drawing closer to his hiding place, he decided to make a move first before the others could act.

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian cast the Double Teleportation Profundity. Before teleporting for the second time, his tyrannical aura surged out, attracting the attention of the people from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom.

Most of them had stopped fighting when Duan Ling Tian, who completed the second teleportation, appeared above two advanced Emperors of Gods from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom respectively who were standing a distance away from their companions.

Then, Duan Ling Tian attacked them without wasting time.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless sword rays filled the sky before they swept out.

Duan Ling Tian did not hold back at all at this moment. He knew that he could afford to do so. Things would become even more difficult if he held his strength back at this moment and failed to kill his targets.

The duo from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom had already stopped fighting as soon as they sensed Duan Ling Tian, and they had been staring at Duan Ling Tian vigilantly as soon as he appeared after his first teleportation. However, despite being vigilant, they reacted a beat too late when he appeared above them and attacked.

“How dare you!”

“You’re seeking death!”

The duo bellowed angrily as they swiftly attacked. Alas, it was too late. They had just unleashed their attacks when the countless colorful sword rays rained down, crushing their attacks and killing them. In just a moment, they were reduced to ashes by the colorful sword rays.

The scene was dazzling and terrifying at the same time.

In just a moment, two beams of light shone down from the sky, bringing with them rewards.

After receiving the reward, Duan Ling Tian quickly put away the two prominent divine artifacts with complete artifact souls into his spatial ring before he quickly fled.

The others from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom looked as though they were going to catch up to Duan Ling Tian after he teleported for the first time. He finally managed to shake them off his tail after his second teleportation.

However, although Duan Ling Tian successfully escaped, his high-profile attack earlier had undoubtedly given his identity away.

At the same time, a man from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom said in a deep voice, “It’s Duan Ling Tian from the Righteous Divine Kingdom.”

Those from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom wore dark expressions on their faces. After all, similar to the Upper Second Divine Kingdom, they had lost a comrade as well.

After a moment, a man from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom stepped forward. He looked at the people from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom expressionlessly as he said, “I advised you to stop fighting with us if you don’t want others who are lying in wait for us to injure each other before snatching the lotus away. We should wait until the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus matures before we rely on our abilities to seize it!”

After saying that, he surveyed his surroundings again before he said, “I didn’t pay attention to our surroundings earlier so I didn’t sense anything amiss. However, now that I probed our surroundings, I could sense many people hiding.” After a beat, he raised his voice before he continued to say, “Everyone, why are you still hiding at this point?”

As soon as his voice fell, many figures appeared in the surroundings. All of them stared at the people from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom vigilantly as soon as they appeared. They were not stupid and hurriedly gathered seeing that the two aforementioned Divine Kingdoms had the most people present on the scene. If they did not work together, not only would they fail to obtain the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus, but they would likely be killed by those from the two Divine Kingdoms.

At this time, one of the newcomers gave voice to the thought in everyone’s mind.

“Listen. The Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus will mature soon. We’re outnumbered, and it’s impossible for us to call for reinforcements. Even if we leave to search for people from our respective kingdoms, there’s no guarantee we’ll find them. I suggest that all of us join forces to deal with those from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom and the Upper Second Divine Kingdom!”

Needless to say, no one objected.

“That’s right! There are too many people from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom here. We have to guard against them!”

“Let’s work together! Those two groups were fighting each other before, but with our arrival, they might work together to deal with us!”

Someone scoffed. “If we join forces, we’re no weaker than them! At most, we’ll just fight to our deaths. No matter what, we can’t give up on the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus!”

“We should join forces now! When the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus reaches full maturity, we’ll rely on our individual ability to seize it!”

Initially, those from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom were not worried at all about the newcomers from the other Divine Kingdoms. After all, they did not consider the possibility of the newcomers joining forces. Nonetheless, they were still not very worried and not afraid after seeing that the newcomers decided to join forces. In their opinion, their numbers would give them a huge advantage during the fight over the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus.

If anything, the two groups from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom respectively were more worried about each other.

As for the newcomers from the other Divine Kingdoms, they were also aware of this. However, in their opinion, they had the advantage even if the two Divine Kingdoms had more people present on the scene. There was no doubt that those from the two Divine Kingdoms would fight, and at that time, the chance to fish in troubled waters would present itself.

At this time, the people from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom had wisely stopped fighting. After all, if they were injured fighting among themselves, they would only present others with the chance to take advantage of their weakened states. It would be better for them to conserve their energy and fight when the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus matured. After all, if they fought before the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus matured, even if they won the fight, it would still be useless.

With this, the fight stopped completely after Duan Ling Tian’s sudden attack and the newcomers showed up.

Everyone stared at the phenomenon that heralded the imminent birth of the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus. At the same time, they also kept an eye on the people around them.

After a moment, someone asked, “Hey, do you think the Righteous Divine Kingdom’s Duan Ling Tian really left?”

With this, the silence broke as people began to discuss among themselves.

“Duan Ling Tian definitely won’t leave just like that. There’s no doubt that he also has his eyes on the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus. After all, is there anyone who doesn’t covet the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus?”

“I agree. When the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus reaches full maturity, he’ll definitely show himself.”

“However, it has to be said that he’s really strong. Earlier, he killed two advanced Emperors of Gods so easily. Although he had used the element of surprise to gain the upper hand, his strength should not be underestimated.”

“It’s really hard to believe that a rudimentary Emperor of Gods possesses such strength.”

“If he weren’t strong, do you think the Righteous Divine Kingdom would allow a rudimentary Emperor of Gods to enter Destiny Canyon and participate in the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms?”

Despite their words, no one was truly afraid of Duan Ling Tian. Although they knew he was powerful, his threat to them was far less compared to the people around them.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who was unaware that he had become the topic of discussion for the group of people, finally found a place after fleeing for hundreds of thousands of miles. He sat cross-legged and began to absorb the energies from the two rewards he obtained earlier.

The rewards he obtained from killing the two advanced Emperors of Gods were equivalent to the rewards of killing four advanced Emperors of Gods since the rewards were doubled in Destiny Canyon.

“The rewards are more than enough to help me enter the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods. I’ll absorb a small amount of energy to break through first and return to the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus. Now that the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus has appeared, it won’t be long before the disturbances start…”

Duan Ling Tian had heard that the disturbances and riots from the inhabitants would begin soon after the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotuses appeared.

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before he began to cultivate.

…

In other places in Destiny Canyon.

There were Earth Flaming Buddha Lotuses that had already reached full maturity and had been taken away. There were also Earth Flaming Buddha Lotuses on the cusp of maturity like the one Duan Ling Tian saw.
