Chapter 4390 - 4390 World Supreme Powerhouse

4390 World Supreme Powerhouse

Sun Yu Qian was in disbelief. He did not expect that Duan Ling Tian, the God Defying World’s heaven-defying prodigy, was ‘Brother Li Feng’ who had rescued him. He knew that the monstrous prodigy from the God Defying World’s lower realms was stronger than most advanced Supreme Gods despite being only about a thousand years old. Moreover, due to his strength and luck, Duan Ling Tian also possessed a huge amount of liquid from the divine fountain that even supreme powerhouses coveted.

Meanwhile, Sun Long recounted their encounter with Duan Ling Tian to Sun Ping Yun, the supreme powerhouse of the Sun clan.

“Based on your words, it seems like he really did save Yu Qian’s life,” Sun Ping Yun said as he shifted his gaze to Sun Yu Qian, the Sun clan’s most outstanding prodigy. He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “However, the coincidence is too uncanny. He rescued Yu Qian, but is it a coincidence that our clan also possesses the Transportation Formation to the Outer Boundary? Who knows if everything was set up by him?”

As a supreme powerhouse, Sun Ping Yun had lived the longest among the members of the Sun clan. Based on his experience, he did not think that Sun Yi Qian and Sun Long’s encounter with Duan Ling Tian was a mere coincidence.

Sun Yu Qian had never doubted his encounter with ‘Li Feng’, the man who saved him. However, after listening to Sun Ping Yun, he did not think that it was impossible for it to be a setup.

Not only did Duan Ling Tian hide his identity, but he also came to the Cyclic World and coincidentally rescued Sun Yu Qian, the Sun clan’s most outstanding prodigy, which gave him access to the Sun clan’s Transportation Formation that led to the Outer Boundary. Moreover, it was not hard to guess that Duan Ling Tian did not dare to go to the Outer Boundary from the God Defying World due to the liquid from the divine fountain in his possession that even supreme powerhouses coveted.

Sun Yu Qian took a deep breath and said solemnly with his forehead still pressed against the ground, “Old ancestor, this is all my fault. Second uncle doesn’t have anything to do with it. I’m willing to bear the consequences and be punished.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Long’s expression changed immediately. “Yu Qian!”

Sun Long might lose his qualification to become the next Clan Leader of the Sun clan if the supreme powerhouse of the Sun clan held Sun Yi Qian responsible.

Sun Ping Yu grunted and said coldly, “How loyal! Very well, I’ll fulfill your wish if that’s what you want! From this day onward, Sun Yu Qian, your status as a direct descendant of the Sun clan is revoked. Your status will only be reinstated after you become an advanced Supreme God.”

The expressions of Sun Long and the other high-ranking officials of the Sun clan, who supported Sun Long and Sun Yu Qian, changed immediately.

Sun Long leaped to his feet and hastily said, “Old ancestor! It’s all my fault! Yu Qian is still young and inexperienced! It’s only normal for him to make mistakes. As an elder, I failed to guide him…”

Sun Long was like an ant on a hot pan at this moment. If Sun Yu Qian was temporarily cast out of the Sun clan, he would not be able to compete for the position of the Clan Leader of the Sun clan until he became an advanced Supreme God. With that, one of the other candidates would become the next clan leader for the next 10,000 years at least. The Clan Leader of the Sun clan would usually serve for 10,000 years before a new clan leader was elected. If there were no other more suitable candidates, the clan leader would continue to serve the clan.

“Old ancestor!”

After Sun Long spoke up, quite a few high-ranking officials chimed in, but they were all silenced by Sun Ping Yun’s frosty gaze.

“This matter is settled,” Sun Ping Yun said expressionlessly. Although he looked indifferent, he felt rather gloomy at this moment. After all, he still had to face the other supreme powerhouses who suspected he gained some benefits from Duan Ling Tian.

…

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that his identity had been exposed in the Cyclic World and that the supreme powerhouses had found out that he came to the Outer Boundary through the Sun clan’s Transportation Formation. Moreover, word of this matter had also spread to the God Defying World.

In the pavilion on a floating island in the endless void.

A middle-aged man said respectfully to the young man in the pavilion, “My lord, Duan Ling Tian is already in the Outer Boundary.”

The young man nodded slightly in response.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before he said, “My lord, he’s just an intermediate Supreme God. Isn’t it too cruel to let him go to the Outer Boundary? Nobody in the God Defying World would dare to lay a hand on him if you speak out…”

“Are you afraid that he’ll die prematurely?” the young man asked.

“Yes,” the middle-aged man replied with a slight nod.

In the middle-aged man’s opinion, Duan Ling Tian was very lucky so far. However, the Outer Boundary was much more dangerous compared to the God Defying World. A monstrous prodigy like Duan Ling Tian was not unprecedented in the God Defying World, but most of them died shortly after going to the Outer Boundary.

“It’s his fate if he dies,” the young man said, “He’ll be able to survive in the Outer Boundary as long as he lays low. If he dies there, it only proves that he’s foolish to have drawn unnecessary attention.”

Despite his words, the young man looked highly upon Duan Ling Tian, who was a rare prodigy in the history of the God Defying World. However, he knew that Duan Ling Tian would only become an ordinary supreme powerhouse if Duan Ling Tian was not tempered by his experience in the Outer Boundary.

‘After master’s demise, there has never been a supreme powerhouse who ranks among the top 30 supreme powerhouses in the Myriad Worlds… The God Defying World’s current peace is all thanks to master’s reputation. However, if the other supreme powerhouses find out that master has passed, the God Defying World will likely face a crisis…’ the young man thought to himself with a sigh.

After a moment, the young man said, “If there’s nothing else, you can take your leave.”

The middle-aged left after the young man spoke.

The young man continued to stare ahead and sighed heavily.

‘Things are too difficult… The two senior uncles have high hopes for me, but I’m afraid they’ve overestimated my ability. I might be on par with them now, but I’m still far from becoming a World supreme powerhouse. In the history of the Myriad Worlds, in its prime, there were only forty World supreme powerhouses at most. Now, there are fewer than thirty of them. Master used to be one of them. There are at least 800 to 1,000 supreme powerhouses like me and my senior uncles in the Myriad Worlds… Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent and comprehension skills are shocking. However, it’s impossible for him to become a World supreme powerhouse if I keep him under my wings. Every World supreme powerhouse went through many trials and tribulations in the Outer Boundary before they rose to the peak. As such, there’s no doubt that the Outer Boundary is the best training ground for him…’

…

In the Crimson Demon’s Little World.

Duan Ling Tian was naturally clueless about the high hopes that the supreme powerhouse in the God Defying World had for him. At this moment, he was completely engrossed in cultivating, determined to grow as strong as he could before the secret realm opened. It would increase his chance of escaping from the Crimson Demon’s Little World, after all.

…

Three months later.

Just as Crimson Demon had announced before, the secret realm opened.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian flew out of his cave toward the entrance of the secret realm. When he arrived, a few prodigies were already gathered there and were chatting among themselves.

When the prodigies saw Duan Ling Tian, they greeted him enthusiastically.

“Brother Ling Tian, are you ready to enter the secret realm?”

“Brother Ling Tian, please take care of me if we meet in the secret realm!”

“Brother Ling Tian…”

These few prodigies were on par with Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu. Previously, they had no interactions with Duan Ling Tian at all. However, at this moment, all of them were trying to get acquainted with Duan Ling Tian. Their attitude changed completely after they witnessed his strength three months ago.
