4273 A Meeting Between Supreme Powerhouses

Beads of cold sweat rolled down the forehead of the short and stout middle-aged man as he watched the scene unfolding in front of him. If he and his companion had made a move earlier, they would have died.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of the two men who were observing from a distance. He was busy dealing with the three rudimentary Supreme Gods, who surprisingly continued to attack him even after seeing his phenomenon of the law that shone for a million miles.

‘I wonder how strong the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword is now after absorbing two fragments of prime divine artifacts…’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly. Then, he waved his hand that was holding the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and used his Sword Dao.

Swoosh!

A dazzling seven-colored sword ray, which carried the law of space, shot toward the leader of the trio.

“No!”

A harrowing cry rang in the air accompanied by a flash of light.

Following that, a huge figure appeared briefly before crumbling to the ground.

“Impossible!”

“How’s this possible?!”

The other two rudimentary Supreme Gods were in shock and disbelief when they saw their leader being killed by the seven-colored sword ray.

Before the duo had time to react, the sword ray suddenly swerved and shot toward them.

“No!” one of them cried out in fear.

Before the other one could react…

Boom! Boom!

Following that, two miserable cries rang out as two huge figures appeared in the air before crumbling to the ground.

The commotion was so big that the ground shook as though there was an earthquake.

With just a strike from his sword, Duan Ling Tian killed the remaining two rudimentary Supreme Gods. All in all, it only took two moves for him to kill all three rudimentary Supreme Gods.

‘In fact, they’re quite strong. It’s unfortunate that they encountered me,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a faint smile as he glanced at the corpse of the leader, who could manifest the phenomenon of the law that shone for 100,000 miles. If he were an ordinary rudimentary Supreme God who had yet to stabilize his cultivation, he would have been killed by them.

‘Compared to intermediate and advanced Supreme Gods, my cultivation base is really low. Moreover, I’ve been keeping a low profile. They shouldn’t target me, right? In fact, advanced Supreme Gods won’t even spare a glance for me, right?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he put away two prominent divine artifacts and continued on his journey.

The leader of the trio’s prominent divine artifact was destroyed when he was killed so there were only two prominent divine artifacts left from the other two rudimentary Supreme Gods.

…

Unbeknownst to Duan Ling Tian, the two middle-aged men were still watching him from behind a cliff in the distance.

The short and stout middle-aged man continued to sweat and tremble in fear. He said to the tall and thin middle-aged man, “Heavens! He’s too terrifying! He also comprehended the Sword Dao to such a high level. This is my first time encountering such a rudimentary Supreme God. If I didn’t see it for myself, I wouldn’t believe that such a formidable rudimentary Supreme God exists. Have you ever seen such a formidable rudimentary Supreme God? He’s so strong that I don’t think other rudimentary Supreme Gods are a match for him at all!”

The tall and thin middle-aged man took a deep breath. He could feel the cold sweat on his back as he said, “Based on his strength, I think he can even kill intermediate Supreme Gods who have yet to stabilize their cultivation bases. He’s really strong. Fortunately, those three attacked him first. Otherwise, we would have died!”

Fear still lingered in the tall and thin middle-aged man’s heart when he recalled how the trio was killed.

“You’re right. Fortunately, we didn’t make a move first,” the short and stout middle-aged man said as he nodded in agreement.

…

In this heaven and earth, only the apex powerhouses were aware that the heaven and earth where all beings existed were called the God Defying Land.

The God Defying Land was made out of 18 Realms of Gods, 81 Devata Realms, and countless mundane realms.

The 18 Realms of Gods were the Little Worlds of supreme powerhouses who were guardians of the God Defying Land.

Along with their glorious and lofty status, the guardians of the 18 Realms of Gods bore heavy responsibilities. After all, if the Realms of Gods were destroyed, the God Defying Land would soon face extinction.

The 18 Realms of Gods were connected and formed a circle in the God Defying Land, and in the middle of the circle was an independent realm known as the Convention Realm. The Convention Realm was where supreme powerhouses gathered when a meeting was called.

Today, there would be a meeting in the Convention Realm. In fact, the meeting was called two years ago. It was not easy for all the supreme powerhouses to gather. As such, it took two years before everyone, except for a few who were dealing with urgent matters, finally showed up.

Apart from that, the supreme powerhouses attending the meeting were not present physically. It was easy for them to manifest their projections in the Convention Realm due to the thin and weak spatial barrier there. Spatial tears, which affected one’s vision, commonly appeared in this place as well.

At this moment, a huge face appeared and said indifferently, “Let the meeting begin.”

Following that, figure after figure appeared. Their auras were so terrifying that they caused the space to tear when they appeared. An ordinary independent realm would not have been able to withstand the auras of so many supreme powerhouses.

Then, the huge face that had spoken earlier flickered before transforming into a human figure. It belonged to a handsome young man dressed in a white long robe. He had an elegant air about him and looked like a scholar. His eyebrows gave him a dignified air as well.

The young man, who seemed to be presiding over the meeting, said, “Today, we’ll be discussing three matters.” After a brief pause, he continued to say, “Someone intervened on the Divine Sanction Battlefield by rescuing his direct descendant from a battle in a secret realm.”

The young man’s voice turned frosty near the end of his words.

As soon as his voice fell, almost everyone shifted their eyes to a middle-aged man in unison.

The young man said expressionlessly, “Ning Yun Heng, explain yourself.”

The middle-aged man, Ning Yun Heng, sighed and said, “I was in the wrong. I shouldn’t have intervened in the matters on the Realm Battlefield. I’m willing to be punished.”

Ning Yun Heng was the ancestor of the Ning clan in the Divine Offering Land. He was also the only supreme powerhouse in the Ning clan. Previously, his clan’s most outstanding prodigy, Ning Yi Xuan, nearly died. At that time, Ning Yi Xuan promptly shattered the life-saving jade token which alerted him to the danger. Subsequently, he manifested his projection in the secret realm and rescued Ning Yi Xuan.

“You’ll be stationed at Mill Ferry Town for 3,000 years. Do you have any objections?” the young man said emotionlessly. Then, he turned to the others and asked again, “Does anyone have any objections?”

Ning Yun Heng quickly shook his head and said, “I have no objections. I’ll leave for Mill Ferry Town at once. I won’t leave until 3,000 years have passed.”

Meanwhile, the other supreme powerhouses remained silent. In fact, all of them could empathize with Ning Yun Heng. They would not be able to sit still as well if they were in Ning Yun Heng’s shoes. Similar to Ning Yun Heng, they had also given their most outstanding direct descendants life-saving jade tokens as well.

“Alright, this matter has been resolved then,” the young man said before he quickly moved on to the next topic.

After a beat, the young man’s eyes flashed as he continued to say, “The second matter concerns the Realm Battlefield. There are only a hundred years left before the Realm Battlefield closes. According to past traditions, the chaotic region will only stay open for ten years. However, this time, I plan to let it stay open for seven decades. Not only that, but during the last three decades, all three chaotic regions will merge. This means that people from all 18 Realms of Gods will be in one place.”

Although this was not unprecedented, the supreme powerhouses’ eyes still widened when they heard these words. Usually, this would happen when a supreme powerhouse obtained something incredibly rare that was incredibly useful to Supreme Gods but was useless to a supreme powerhouse. This thing was much more precious and useful to Supreme Gods than most of the things that supreme powerhouses gave their descendants could not compare to it at all.

“I heard that the Peace Element World and the Blazing Wing World unearthed a divine fountain in the Outer Boundary’s Heaven Interrogation Path… However, while they fought over it, they lost it to a third party…”

At this time, an old man suddenly turned to look at the young man with a shocked expression on his face and said, “Could it be that you…

The other supreme powerhouses turned to look at the young man in unison as well.

It was said that a drop from the divine fountain was equivalent to a thousand years of closed-door cultivation for an ordinary rudimentary Supreme God.
