Chapter 4248 - 4248 The Final Step

4248 The Final Step

Although the six people from the Sanction Land were certain of their victory, they not only followed their plan, but they also attacked without holding back. Their prominent divine artifact souls with complete artifact souls shone brilliantly in their hands, boosting their strength greatly.

Three imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land flew out toward Duan Ling Tian and the others while the other three got into their respective positions.

When the trio, who comprehended the law of wind and the law of space, saw that Duan Ling Tian and the others had no intention of escaping, they quickly joined the fight as well.

At the same time, the trio from the Divine Offering Land, who stood next to Duan Ling Tian, looked at the first three imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land.

“Let’s attack with all our might!”

“Let’s kill the one that comprehends the law of space! Before we die, let’s kill at least one of them!”

“Kill him!”

In the next moment, the trio from the Divine Offering Land who just managed to rouse their fighting spirit and were about to charge out felt as though they had been splashed by a bucket of cold water.

Duan Ling Tian’s spatial energy swept out and carried the trio away from the battlefield before he erected a protective barrier around them.

The trio from the Divine Offering Land were baffled by the sudden development, wondering why they were pushed back. After a moment, they finally realized that the only imminent Supreme God among them planned to deal with the six imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land alone.

“Why did he do this?”

“We’ll all die sooner or later… Don’t tell me that he thinks we’ll be able to survive after he dies?”

“Forget it. Let’s not waste his good intentions. Let him shine during his last moment before we join him in death!”

The trio from the Divine Offering Land did not have any complaints, and they also did not feel regretful they were unable to kill the Sanction Land’s imminent Supreme God who comprehended the law of fire. After all, the possibility of them succeeding was almost zero. How could the other five imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land do nothing if they joined forces to kill one of them?

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of the trio’s thoughts. He did not pay attention to the stunned expressions on the faces of the six imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land as well.

Soon after Duan Ling Tian’s spatial storm swept out, he took control of the surrounding space. Subsequently, a seven-colored sword and a woman dressed in a seven-colored robe appeared in the air.

When the six imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land returned to their senses and charged out, Duan Ling Tian slowly said, “Consider yourself unlucky for encountering me.”

Upon hearing these words, the cautious duo from the Sanction Land frowned slightly and grew wary.

On the contrary, the other four imminent Supreme Gods only laughed mockingly.

“This imminent Supreme God is really delusional! He thinks he can fight the six of us alone!”

“He’s biting off more than he can chew!”

“Unbelievable!”

“Ridiculous!”

Alas, the mocking smiles on their faces did not last long.

Duan Ling Tian held the seven-colored sword in his hand. With just a wave, countless seven-colored sword rays swept out, causing the void to shake before hairline cracks appeared. The sword rays glowed brilliantly, looking as though they could destroy everything that stood in their path.

After a brief moment of stalemate, the attacks of the six imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land were completely crushed by the seven-colored sword rays.

At the same time, light that shone down on the lands suddenly appeared.

The trio from the Divine Offering Land, whom Duan Ling Tian protected, exclaimed in unison, “The phenomenon that shines for 100,000 miles!”

At the same time, the calm and cautious duo from the Sanction Land cried out at almost the same time as they hastily retreated.

“Retreat!”

“Hurry up and retreat!”

Alas, the other four from the Sanction Land were a little too slow.

Swoosh!

The domineering seven-colored sword rays destroyed everything in their path before they landed on the four imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land.

“No!”

“Impossible!”

“Arghhh!”

The Sanction Land’s four imminent Supreme Gods’ final unwilling cries echoed in the ears of everyone in the natural secret realm.

At this time, the remaining two imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land exchanged a look and said in unison, “Let’s go!”

Following that, the duo’s Divine Energy surged, forming a thick layer of defense in front of them, as a portal promptly appeared above them.

Swoosh!

At the same time, a seven-colored sword ray flew over and destroyed the duo’s defenses. However, just as the seven-colored sword ray was about to hit them, they disappeared into thin air.

The seven-colored sword ray that missed its target fell into the mountain range below.

Boom!

A huge ravine that seemed bottomless appeared in the mountain range.

Duan Ling Tian cleaved a mountain range into two with just one sword ray!

After the dust settled, Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself indifferently, “They’re quite vigilant…”

Duan Ling Tian was not frustrated that the duo managed to escape. In fact, a faint smile could be seen on his face. It did not matter if he killed those two or not. After all, he was sent here to act as a gatekeeper of a level. It was enough that he survived.

At the same time, the trio from the Divine Offering Land still had not recovered from their shock. They were certain they would die today. After all, their six opponents were imminent Supreme Gods while they only had one imminent Supreme God. Not only that, but their opponents also had more people on their sides. They had been prepared to fight to their deaths when Duan Ling Tian suddenly sent them away from the battlefield. They assumed that he was going to sacrifice himself to buy them time to survive even if they did not understand his reason for doing so. In the end, they finally realized they had misunderstood the ‘weirdo’ who wanted to die alone. As it turned out, he had no intention of dying at all. Moreover, he also knew he could deal with the six imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land.

When the trio returned to their senses, they looked at each other and began to discuss among themselves, still filled with shock and disbelief.

“He crushed the attacks of the six imminent Supreme Gods and killed four of them with just one strike! If the other two didn’t leave in time, they would have died as well!”

“Those two were fast! If they were just a beat slower, they would have died!”

“How terrifying! His… His strength is comparable to a rudimentary Supreme God, right?

“Comparable? I think he’s capable of killing some rudimentary Supreme Gods. Even an ordinary rudimentary Supreme God isn’t capable of killing those six so easily.”

After a moment, one of them turned to Duan Ling Tian and said with a bow, “My lord, thank you for saving our lives!”

The other two quickly followed suit.

The trio also introduced themselves to Duan Ling Tian and solemnly promised to help Duan Ling Tian if there was a need in the future.

Duan Ling Tian only smiled perfunctorily. To him, these people were just passersby in his life. He said, “There’s no need for this. It’s your fate that you survived today…”

Just as the energy that brought them here appeared again, one of them suddenly asked anxiously, “My lord, may I ask for your name?”

“My lord, even if you don’t need us to repay you, please tell us your name! You’re our benefactor after all!”

Duan Ling Tian saw no need to lie so he said, “My name is Duan Ling Tian…”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell, the energy brought Duan Ling Tian and the others out of the secret realm.

The trio committed Duan Ling Tian’s name to their memory. After all, if it were not for him, they would have died. They were sure that if they told others about what happened, they would be shocked.

Perhaps, only a few would believe that there was such a terrifying advanced Emperor of Gods in this world. Nonetheless, even these few people might not believe the trio managed to encounter such a person.

For the trio, the experience of being gatekeepers for the people from the Sanction Land would be something they would never forget for the rest of their lives. Naturally, they would also never forget the peerless and elegant purple-clad young man.

…

On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian was indifferent to this incident. It was nothing for him to save the trio. Even if the trio were not there, he would still defeat the six people from the Sanction Land. Saving the trio did not take any effort at all.

‘The Realm Battlefield is really amazing…’

After Duan Ling Tian was sent out, he found that he was not in the sky above the valley. Instead, he was in a stone forest.

Boulders of different sizes were everywhere. The biggest ones were as big as Optimus Prime, and the smallest ones were about seven or eight meters tall. The stone forest was a good hiding place.

Duan Ling Tian did not stay in the stone forest. He continued to explore the Realm Battlefield, gain combat experience, and cultivate.

…

Time passed by silently. The opening of the chaotic region was also drawing closer.

Three years before the opening of the chaotic region, Duan Ling Tian was finally at the final bottleneck in the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods; he was only one step away from entering the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God.

‘After this, I’ll enter closed-door cultivation and consume the Heavenly Dao Fruit to break through to the realm of Supreme Gods!’

Duan Ling Tian left the inner area of the Divine Sanction Battlefield and returned to the outer area before he found a secluded place. After setting up layers of Formations, he finally entered closed-door cultivation.

Even the slightest disturbance to the Formations would alert him. Since he was on the Realm Battlefield, he naturally had to be cautious.

“The third Heavenly Dao Fruit. With my current cultivation, after absorbing the fruit’s efficacy, I’ll enter the realm of Supreme Gods!”

One could only consume the divine fruits like the Heavenly Dao Fruit thrice at most before they lost most of their efficacy. It was also for this reason that he did not consume the Sky Ascension Fruit he obtained from the natural secret realm. Due to the two fruits’ similar nature, they would repel each other. Otherwise, he would have consumed both the Heavenly Dao Fruit and the Sky Ascension Fruit. He would not have to wait until now to become a Supreme God.
