4314 The Natural Enemy of the Law of Earth
“You want to retreat now? It’s too late!”
Duan Ling Tian sneered when he saw the two intermediate Supreme Gods retreat. At the same time, the negative emotions that had accumulated in his heart over the past few days finally exploded at this moment.
During this period of time, Duan Ling Tian felt like a rat being hunted. He had done nothing, and yet, so many people were out to kill him. He did not even dare to enter base camps, afraid that people were lying in wait outside the base camps. Since he did not enter any base camp, he was still unaware of the reason why so many people were out to kill him.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian made a move, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword appeared. After he cast his law of space, Mastery Dao, and Sword Dao, the phenomenon that shone for a million miles appeared.
Meanwhile, the duo did not intend to fight Duan Ling Tian directly.
When the intermediate Supreme God who comprehended the law of water saw how easily Duan Ling Tian had crushed his attack, his expression changed.
“He’s so strong?!”
The trio finally realized that Duan Ling Tian was even more exaggerated than the rumors.
“With this strength, he should be on par with those top intermediate Supreme Gods who are capable of killing ordinary advanced Supreme Gods, right?”
At this moment, the duo suddenly cried out in unison, “Fang He, attack!”
Fang He was the intermediate Supreme God who was skilled in the law of the wind. It was thanks to him that they were able to keep up with Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, the other two, who comprehended the law of earth and the law of water respectively, would have lost track of Duan Ling Tian long ago.
Similar to his companions, Fang He was shocked when he saw Duan Ling Tian crush the attack, and he was frightened by Duan Ling Tian’s terrifying strength. He knew that if he went over at this moment, he would definitely die.
When Fang He saw Duan Ling Tian rushing toward his two companions, instead of going over, he quickly bellowed in a thunderous voice before he fled, “Duan Ling Tian is here!”
Fang He’s thunderous voice swept through a huge area in just an instant.
As Fang He fled, he thought to himself, ‘This is the last thing I can do for both of you… I hope you don’t blame me.’
After witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s strength, Fang He knew that they would be unable to defeat Duan Ling Tian even if he went over. Even if he was skilled in the law of wind, it would be difficult for him to escape Duan Ling Tian at such a close range. After all, the law of space was very powerful. Once he was restrained, no matter how fast he was, it would be useless.
“Fang He!”
When Fang He’s two companions heard his voice, their expressions changed immediately. Seeing Fang He who was getting further and further away, how could they not guess Fang He’s thoughts at this moment? As they dealt with Duan Ling Tian hastily, they cursed Fang He and his entire family inwardly. However, after a short moment, they no longer had the energy to curse Fang He due to the immense pressure from Duan Ling Tian. They felt as though their bones were shaking and falling apart.
“How can he be so strong?”
“He’s just a new rudimentary Supreme God. How can his combat power be so terrifying?”
The duo’s souls trembled when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s terrifying combat power. Before today, they did not think that it was possible for a rudimentary Supreme God to be so strong.
“No!” the intermediate Supreme God who was skilled in the law of water cried out as Duan Ling Tian’s attack hit him first. Then, a seven-colored sword ray pierced his body before exploding into thousands of sword rays in the next moment. Just like that, he died along with the rippling energy in the sky.
Then, a huge figure rose in the air and cried out before it crumbled to the ground.
At the same time, the intermediate who was skilled in the law of earth was strengthening his defenses with a grim expression on his face. After all, the law of earth was known for its defenses. Although Duan Ling Tian was wearing down his defenses, he still held hope of surviving. As long as he could hold on until someone showed up, he had a chance to survive. At that time, Duan Ling Tian would be unable to protect himself and those who arrived would definitely target Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian sneered. “How shameless. Do you think you’ll be able to survive when other people arrive? You’re quite smart. However, if I want to kill you now, your defenses mean nothing to me.”
Duan Ling Tian’s gaze was cold as he opened up his Little World. Following that, a branch shot out toward the intermediate Supreme God who was defending himself with all his might.
The branch looked ordinary, but it was brimming with rich vital energy. It easily pierced and destroyed the intermediate Supreme God’s defenses.
“The Divine Tree of Life!”
The intermediate Supreme God was initially optimistic about surviving. However, after his defenses were destroyed, an expression of horror and despair appeared on his face.
For those who had yet to comprehend the perfect form of the law of earth, the Divine Tree of Life was their nemesis.
The Divine Tree of Life was born from the earth, and it was a treasure of heaven and earth. It could easily ignore the law of earth as long as the law of earth was not in the perfect form. Defensive shields formed by the law of earth could not stop it at all.
For this reason, the branch from Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Tree of Life easily breached the intermediate Supreme God’s defenses. He did not even have time to mend his shield. Even if he did, it would be useless. In fact, even before the branch touched his barrier, he could already sense his law of earth failing.
“No!” the intermediate Supreme God cried out in despair. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to possess the Divine Tree of Life at all. If he had known this before, perhaps, he would not have dared to follow Duan Ling Tian.
Previously, he and his two companions planned to follow Duan Ling Tian until they came across a base camp. At that time, they planned to enter the base camp and spread the news about Duan Ling Tian’s whereabouts. As long as they recorded Duan Ling Tian when they followed him, they would be rewarded if anyone managed to kill Duan Ling Tian using their information. After all, one-tenth of the rewards from the bounty was much more than they dared to dream about in the past.
The intermediate Supreme God could only watch in despair as the seven-colored sword ray shot through the hole in his defenses, which was caused by the Divine Tree of Life. No matter how courageous he was, he would not have followed Duan Ling Tian if he knew Duan Ling Tian possessed the Divine Tree of Life.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As thousands of seven-colored sword rays swept out, a huge figure rose into the air. Before it crumbled, it cried out, “Divine Tree of Life!”
“Consider yourself unlucky to have met me!” Duan Ling Tian muttered as he glanced at the place where the intermediate Supreme God died. Then, he quickly cast the Double Teleportation Profundity and left.
Although Duan Ling Tian did not sense anything at this moment, it was not hard to guess that many people must be flocking over to this place at the moment. If he did not leave, he might die here.
Duan Ling Tian had no intention of chasing after the intermediate Supreme God who was skilled in the law of wind. It was impossible for him to catch up to the other party, and even if he could, it would be tantamount to seeking death if he chased after the other party now.
The most important thing to him now was to find a safe place. Then, he would wait until he could enter the secret realm. At that time, he would be temporarily safe.
…
Not long after Duan Ling Tian left, several people arrived. Divine Energy simmered on the surface of their skin as the energies from the laws they comprehended soared into the sky, causing the void to shake.
These few people were all powerful advanced Supreme Gods. Coincidentally, they were nearby when they heard the commotion.
“Duan Ling Tian was here?”
“Someone shouted that earlier, right?”
“There was a battle here earlier… Did Duan Ling Tian kill two intermediate Supreme Gods?”
“When one of them died, he cried out, ‘Divine Tree of Life’. What does that mean? Isn’t that something unique to the supreme powerhouses’ Little Worlds?”
“Is it possible that… Duan Ling Tian possesses the Divine Tree of Life?”
“Apart from the faint lingering auras of the law of water and the law of wind, I can sense the lingering auras of the law of space and the Sword Dao. I’m certain that Duan Ling Tian was here!”
“So Duan Ling Tian possesses a Divine Tree of Life?!”
“This is shocking news?! It makes sense now. For those who comprehend the law of earth, no matter how strong they are, as long as they have yet to comprehend its perfect form, they might still be killed by Duan Ling Tian!”
After saying that, they turned to look at the advanced Supreme God who comprehended the law of earth in unison.
The advanced Supreme God who was skilled in the law of earth wore an awkward expression on his face upon seeing this. After all, he was one step away from comprehending the perfect form of the law of earth. This means that if he encountered Duan Ling Tian, there was a chance that he would die.
Finally, he scoffed coldly and left with a grim expression on his face. Despite how unwilling he was, he knew he could take the risk. He had never encountered a Divine Tree of Life before, and he could not help but wonder how ordinary people could possess a Divine Tree of Life before becoming a supreme powerhouse.
