4205 Leaving Destiny Canyon
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Sword rays whistled in the air as they rained down from above. They were beautiful and bright like rainbows, disguising their deadliness. When they moved, they left the void trembling in their wake. It was as though the space was going to crumble.
Without the Blood Formation, the seven demon beasts’ attacks were no longer tacit even if they were attacking simultaneously. Initially, they were locked in a stalemate with Duan Ling Tian, but Duan Ling Tian soon found an opening and killed one of them. Following that, the fight tilted greatly in Duan Ling Tian’s favor.
It took Duan Ling Tian more than half an hour to kill the first demon beast. Following the death of the first demon beast, it took him fewer than 15 minutes to kill the second demon beast. Killing the third and the fourth demon beasts only took him dozens of breaths and fewer than ten breaths respectively. In the end, it took him fewer than ten breaths to kill the three remaining demon beasts.
A beam of light shone down on Duan Ling Tian from the sky, shrouding his entire person. This was his reward for killing the demon beasts.
After absorbing the reward, Duan Ling Tian looked at the sky and thought to himself, ‘Now that I’ve received the reward for killing those demon beasts, will I receive the reward for passing the ultimate test in Destiny Canyon?’
Similarly, Lang Chun Yuan looked at the sky as well.
In just a moment, dark grey clouds rolled into the sky that was clear and blue. The dark clouds were accompanied by lightning and the sounds of thunder ringing in the. Following that, nine huge translucent figures appeared in the sky. These figures belonged to the nine demon beasts that Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan killed.
The nine demon beasts looked down at Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan with eyes filled with hatred before they roared to vent their unwillingness and anger. However, the sounds of their roar were drowned out by the sounds of thunder.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a while, the nine demon beasts slowly faded away into countless spots of light in the sky before they converged into a beam of nine-colored light that shone on Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan. The diameter of the beam was so large that it easily shrouded the duo even though they were standing quite a distance from each other.
‘So this is the reward for passing the ultimate test in Destiny Canyon…’
Duan Ling Tian could sense that the reward was greater than all the rewards he had received previously in Destiny Canyon. As soon as the light shone on him, the energies he saved from the previous rewards were mostly destroyed by the new reward. He only managed to absorb a small part of them, which did not give him much improvement. The new reward was so domineering that it seemed as though it could not tolerate the presence of the other rewards.
Duan Ling Tian felt his heart ache when he thought about the wasted rewards.
‘I hope this new reward will give me a bigger improvement… Otherwise, I’ll suffer a huge loss this time… I’m not greedy either. I only hope to break through to the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, slightly excited. Initially, he did not think he would be able to break through into the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods in Destiny Canyon. However, now, his heart carried a hint of expectations.
Meanwhile, Lang Chun Yuan was also absorbing the reward. The speed at which she was absorbing the reward was much faster than that of Duan Ling Tian. This was only natural since she was now a rudimentary Supreme God who had stabilized her cultivation base.
…
The nine demon beasts were dead. The three rudimentary Supremer Gods and their respective comrades were gone as well, with two of them escaping and all of them dead. As such, only Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan were left in the core of the heart of Destiny Canyon.
Although those waiting outside of the core of the heart of Destiny Canyon did not witness what happened at the core, all of them knew how dangerous it was in the core due to the eye-catching rewards that fell from the sky.
“I don’t know what happened exactly, but based on how aggressive those people from the three Divine Kingdoms were, it was clear they looked for trouble for Duan Ling Tian…”
“Based on the number of rewards that appeared, you can see that a lot of people died. There’s no doubt that those who died are from the three Divine Kingdoms… Why didn’t the three rudimentary Supreme Gods protect their own people?”
“Maybe they left? After becoming rudimentary Supreme Gods, they could leave Destiny Canyon with just a thought.”
“In any case, I’m going to leave now and find a place to hide until the time is up.”
“Me too!”
Many people who gathered outside of the core of the heart of Destiny Canyon quickly left. Only a few people stayed behind. These few people were hoping to get lucky. In their opinion, even if Duan Ling Tian managed to kill those people from the three Divine Kingdoms, Duan Ling Tian must be in a weakened state now. There was also Lang Chun Yuan. They thought that she would be in a terrible state after killing the nine demon beasts. Needless to say, they hoped to take advantage of the duo’s weakened state.
Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan were currently ranked first and second respectively. One had over 10,000 points while the other had almost 10,000 points. Lang Chun Yuan, who was ranked second, had more than double the points of the person in third place. If they could kill the duo, they would benefit greatly.
Thinking of what they could gain, they waited patiently for Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan to leave.
…
A few days later…
Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan finally came out.
Contrary to the expectations of the people waiting for the duo, not only were Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan not in a weakened state, but they were both in peak condition.
There was no suspense at all regarding the outcome.
Duan Ling Tian easily killed all those who hoped to take advantage of him and Lang Chun Yuan.
Those people greatly regretted that they did not leave with the others. Alas, there was no medicine for regret.
‘My rewards are gone…’
Duan Ling Tian felt rather speechless. He had just received the rewards for killing the group of people, but they were quickly destroyed by the reward for passing the ultimate test. He only managed to absorb a small amount of it.
Duan Ling Tian looked at Lang Chun Yuan and asked with a wry smile, “Fourth Senior Sister, it seems like the reward we received before is doing more harm than good! I’m unable to store other rewards in my body now.”
Upon hearing this, Lang Chun Yuan replied with a smile, “Junior brother, all you need to do is absorb it completely, right? After that, you won’t have a problem anymore. Not only that, but you’ll likely be very close to becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods even if you don’t break through….”
Lang Chun Yuan had gained a lot this time so she was in a very good mood.
“That’s easy for you to say,” Duan Ling Tian said with a sigh, “Fourth Senior Sister, there’s not much time left. I’ll find a place to cultivate and absorb the energy from the reward while I wait to be sent out of the canyon. What do you plan to do next? Do you want to come with me or do you plan to leave first?”
“Of course, I’ll come with you,” Lang Chun Yuan said with a giggle, “Junior brother, I’m not in a hurry to leave. You can find a place and devote your time to absorbing the energy from the reward…”
Previously, Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan took only half a day to receive the extraordinary reward into their bodies. However, they only left the core of the heart of Destiny Canyon a few days later because Duan Ling Tian was waiting for Lang Chun Yuan to absorb the energy from the reward after it entered her body. During those few days, unlike Lang Chun Yuan who completely absorbed the energy from the reward, Duan Ling Tian only managed to absorb a small amount of energy from the reward.
Although Lang Chun Yuan did not say anything, Duan Ling Tian could keenly feel that she had become a lot stronger.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian suddenly thought of something. He said, “Fourth Senior Sister, do you think Nangong Ce Yi, the leader of the Frosty Mountain Heavenly Pool, will ask you to join his force immediately after you leave Destiny Canyon? Do you think the Frosty Mountain Heavenly Pool really has enough resources to help you become an intermediate Supreme God?”
Previously, no one believed Lang Chun Yuan when she said she would become a rudimentary Supreme God and stabilize her cultivation base in Destiny Canyon. It was similar to how no one believed Duan Ling Tian said he was going to stabilize his cultivation base after becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods in Destiny Canyon. However, the duo had stayed true to their words and achieved what they said they would.
According to the previous agreement, if the Frosty Mountain Heavenly Pool was sincere about recruiting Lang Chun Yuan, they would have to give her as many resources as she needed to become an intermediate Supreme God.
“I think so,” Lang Chun Yuan said with a laugh, “Before entering Destiny Canyon, I asked the Lord of the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom about it. He said that the Frosty Mountain Heavenly Pool has more than enough resources to help me become an intermediate Supreme God after I stabilize my cultivation base in the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God.”
Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised that Lang Chun Yuan remembered to ask about this matter.
Lang Chun Yuan continued to say, “However, I’m not sure if he’ll go back on his words. We must stick to our principles after leaving Destiny Canyon. If they keep their word, it’s fine for us to join them. Junior brother, don’t be pressured into doing what you don’t want to do. After all, we’ll be leaving the Trial of Gods soon…”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “Fourth Senior Sister, it’s just as you said. We’ll be leaving the Trial of Gods eventually. Moreover, everything here is only created by the supreme powerhouses. Why would I be pressured into doing anything?”
Lang Chun Yuan nodded. “Good. I knew that you’d see things this way. I’m only saying this because Third Senior Brother told me to remind you. Now that I’ve conveyed his message, I’ve also completed the task he gave me.”
Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised by Lang Chun Yuan’s words. At the same time, warmth suffused his heart when he thought about his Third Senior Brother’s care toward him.
…
Over the next period of time, Duan Ling Tian found a place to cultivate and absorb the energy from the reward in seclusion.
At the same time, Lang Chun Yuan stayed by Duan Ling Tian’s side to protect him, making sure that he was not disturbed.
Needless to say, with Lang Chun Yuan standing guard, Duan Ling Tian easily absorbed the energy from the reward.
At this time, the duo suddenly sensed the change in Destiny Canyon.
Lang Chun Yuan looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Junior brother, I think we’ll be transported out soon.”
As soon as Lang Chun Yuan’s voice fell, Duan Ling Tian felt his head spinning and his vision turned black.
When the light returned, Duan Ling Tian found that he was now outside of Destiny Canyon. When he looked up, he saw the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms in front of him. Soon enough, he saw a group of people gathering around him.
“They’re out!”
At this moment, the Lords of the various Divine Kingdoms were all looking at Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan.
