4329 Time Heavenly Tribulation
Duan Ling Tian knew that the divine fountain was precious, but his understanding of it was still limited.
Even in the Outer Boundary’s Myriad Worlds, only direct descendants of powerful supreme powerhouses who were favored could enjoy such treatment.
After all, even in the Myriad Worlds, divine fountains were very rare. It was so rare that even top supreme powerhouses would fight over it.
The divine fountain did not have any effect on supreme powerhouses, and it could only help those who had yet to become supreme powerhouses to grow stronger quickly.
The Myriad Worlds, including the God Defying World, placed great importance on the new generation. After all, if the number of supreme powerhouses did not increase, their number would surely dwindle in time. After all, they might during their Time Heavenly Tribulation.
The Time Heavenly Tribulation was similar to the Heavenly Tribulation.
Those in the God Defying World, who were not supreme powerhouses, had always wondered if they had to go through the Heavenly Tribulation after becoming supreme powerhouses. The answer was no, supreme powerhouses did not have to go through Heavenly Tribulation once every one thousand years. However, the supreme powerhouses had to face something similar to the Heavenly Tribulation, which was the Time Heavenly Tribulation.
Unlike the Heavenly Tribulation, the supreme powerhouse would undergo the Time Heavenly Tribulation once every 10,000 years. This applied to all the supreme powerhouses in the Myriad Worlds, not just the God Defying World.
Duan Ling Tian was unaware of all these at this moment. Although he had no idea how rare the opportunity he had been given was even in the Myriad Worlds, he still knew that it was a precious opportunity. He would never get a chance like this again if he missed out on it. He did not know a lot, but he knew that even many supreme powerhouses did not even possess a single drop of liquid from the divine fountain.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if the supreme powerhouse who controlled the divine fountain were to announce that the person who killed Duan Ling Tian would be allowed to bathe in the divine fountain, all the supreme powerhouses in the God Defying World with descendants would hunt Duan Ling Tian down to kill him.
‘That supreme powerhouse seems to know everything about me. He even knows about my most important secrets, the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements. Before this, I only exposed the Divine Tree of Life to Ning Yi Xuan during our fight.’
Duan Ling Tian was not very worried even though his secrets had been exposed. They were nothing to supreme powerhouses even if they were precious treasures to ordinary people. Moreover, if that supreme powerhouse harbored ill intent, that supreme powerhouse would have already made a move earlier.
‘The most important thing now is to absorb as much liquid from the divine fountain as I can. Perhaps, if I can absorb all of it, I’ll directly break through the realm of an advanced Supreme God.’
After a month, Duan Ling Tian could clearly sense how much the divine fountain helped him. He also deeply understood why so many people were desperate to rank in the overall ranking. He also understood now why the rewards to kill him were so great. If he were in their shoes, he would also be unwilling to see such a precious opportunity taken away.
‘Duan Ling Tian, you must seize this chance,’ Duan Ling Tian reminded himself inwardly over and over again. He reminded himself not to slack off and cherish the opportunity that had been given to him.
Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to cultivate again, the familiar voice from before suddenly rang in the air.
“The time in here flows differently from the outside world. Ten days here is equivalent to a day in the outside world.”
Duan Ling Tian was delighted upon hearing these words. With these words, the traces of anxiety in his heart vanished immediately.
Although he cherished the chance to bathe in the divine fountain, he still could not help but worry about the time he spent here. He had requested the middle-aged man to look for Ke’er in the Divine Offering Land’s Xia clan, but he did not feel completely relieved. However, now that he discovered the flow of time here was different from the outside world, his worries vanished immediately.
Duan Ling Tian was not unfamiliar with different time flows. In the past, when he was still in the mundane realm, he had been to a place where time flowed differently from the outside world. At that time, he had been very weak, but it was also due to his weakness that he was able to take advantage of the different time flow.
‘I’m already a rudimentary Supreme God, but I can enjoy a different time flow now. Ten days here are only equivalent to a day in the outside world.’
Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel excited again when he thought about this.
In the past, he obtained the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, in which time flowed differently inside. Later on, he learned that the different time flow was due to the law of time.
In the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, the lower one’s cultivation base was, the bigger the time difference. As such, it was useless to those in the realms of gods. Otherwise, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda would not only be a celestial artifact, but it would have been a top divine artifact.
During Duan Ling Tian’s time in the Realm of Gods, he had never heard of any artifact with a different time flow that could affect those in the realm of gods. He had heard that except for supreme powerhouses who were skilled in the law of time, no other supreme powerhouses were able to create a space with a different time flow for Supreme Gods. However, this was just speculation, and he was not sure if it was true.
In short, it was extremely difficult to construct a space with a different time flow that could affect Supreme Gods, but Duan Ling Tian was in such a space now.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian could no longer contain his excitement. He asked, “Senior, is this place inside an artifact? Or did you or another senior skilled in the law of time construct it?”
Duan Ling Tian was still shocked by the revelation.
It seemed the stronger one was, the more knowledgeable one would be. He knew how difficult it was to construct a space with a different time flow like the one he was in. Even if the supreme powerhouse who constructed this space was skilled in the law of time which would affect a rudimentary Supreme God, the time difference of ten to one was too exaggerated.
The other party replied indifferently, “There’s no need for you to know these things. You just need to know that if you become an intermediate Supreme God here, the time flow would change to five days here and a day in the outside world. If you become an advanced Supreme God, the time flow here would be two days here and one day outside. Cultivate well. Such an opportunity is hard to come by.”
After that, the other party did not speak again.
With this, Duan Ling Tian also did not think about the matter any further.
“No matter what, this is a good thing for me. As a rudimentary Supreme God, ten days in here are equal to a day outside. As an intermediate Supreme God…”
Duan Ling Tian thought about how difficult cultivation had become after he became a rudimentary Supreme God. As such, he was not certain about breaking through and becoming an intermediate Supreme God here. He muttered to himself, “No matter how great the divine fountain is, can it really help me to become an intermediate Supreme God? It’ll be great if that’s the case. As for becoming an advanced Supreme God…”
Duan Ling Tian did not hold any hope of becoming an advanced Supreme God here at all. He thought it was an impossible feat. After all, he had just stabilized his cultivation base in the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God. He had a long way to go before he became an advanced Supreme God.
…
After Duan Ling Tian claimed the reward for ranking first in the overall ranking, those who ranked in the various rankings also received their rewards.
Unlike Duan Ling Tian, the supreme powerhouses did not show up. Only a terrifying energy appeared when they received their reward.
All of them kept their rewards in spatial rings that would self-destruct upon their deaths to ensure their safety.
At the same time, many people regretted using their real names in the Realm Battlefield.
“Many people know I ranked fourth in the intermediate Supreme God ranking now. I’m sure many people covet the vial of liquid from the divine fountain in my possession. After leaving, I have to find a hidden place to absorb the liquid. After absorbing it, I won’t be in danger even if they find me.”
A lot of them also quickly came up with a plan to ensure their safety after receiving their rewards.
…
Meanwhile, Lang Chun Yuan, who sent her doppelganger to the Realm Battlefield, also received a drop of liquid from the divine fountain for ranking tenth in the rudimentary Supreme God ranking.
Previously, Lang Chun Yuan had been ecstatic just thinking about one drop of liquid from the divine fountain. However, now, when she thought about her junior brother bathing in the divine fountain and obtaining a large vial of liquid from the divine fountain, her enthusiasm had died down a lot, and she could not help but feel slightly disappointed. Nonetheless, she was still happy for her junior brother.
“In the end, junior brother has become stronger than I am…”
Although Lang Chun Yuan only sent her doppelganger to the Realm Battlefield, deep down in her heart, she knew very well that even if she was here in person, she would already be very lucky if she could rank second or third in the rudimentary Supreme God ranking, let alone rank in the overall ranking.
In the past, she had grossly underestimated the other rudimentary Supreme Gods from the various Realms of Gods. It was not until the rankings appeared that she discovered how ignorant she had been.
