4424 The Heaven’s Vault Blood Oath
Tan Xiu Teng did not expect Meng Yu Zheng to bring out a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity at all. Most importantly, it was a fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity! His strongest law was the law of fire, and it had reached the perfect form. Since his fire had mutated, he had an even higher chance of comprehending it to the paramount stage. To him, the fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity was a peerless treasure. At least for now, no treasure could compare to the fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. After all, if he possessed the fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, his chances of comprehending the law of fire to the paramount stage would increase significantly to more than 70%.
Tan Xiu Teng continued to breathe heavily. It took him a while to calm down before he looked at Meng Yu Zheng and said in a deep voice, “I didn’t see what it was earlier… Can you show it to me again?”
A hint of greed could be seen in Tan Xiu Teng’s eyes at this moment. To him, for the sake of the fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, even if he had to kill Meng Yu Zheng and flee the Divine Sand Realm to the end of the world after offending the supreme powerhouse from the Meng clan in Green Billow City, it was worth it. As long as he comprehended the law of fire to the paramount stage, sooner or later, he would become a peerless top advanced Supreme God. At that time, it was definitely possible for him to find a supreme powerhouse stronger than the Meng clan’s supreme powerhouse to protect him. Even if he encountered Meng Tian Feng, Meng Tian Feng would not dare to attack him. In the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds, peerless top advanced Supreme Gods were rarer than supreme powerhouses and highly sought after by supreme powerhouses, after all.
Meng Yu Zheng was not a complete fool. He smiled faintly and said, “Uncle Tan, your strongest law is the law of fire so you’re more sensitive to it. However, since you said you didn’t see it, let me tell you, it’s a fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. As for its origin, I’m sure you can guess it. It was given to me by my ancestor. The main reason my ancestor was able to become a supreme powerhouse was thanks to the fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity he obtained 10,000 years ago. Now that he’s a supreme powerhouse, the fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity is no longer useful to him. As such, he gave it to me. After all, I’m the most outstanding one among all his direct descendants, and I also comprehend the law of fire.”
Meng Tian Feng, the new supreme powerhouse of the Meng clan, and Meng Yu Zheng also comprehended the law of fire.
Tan Xiu Teng raised an eyebrow and said, “I’m sure the lord didn’t give you the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity just for you to casually give it to another person. From now on, don’t joke about this matter anymore. If the lord finds out that you wanted to give it away, he’ll be upset.”
Tan Xiu Teng was abnormally calm and clear-headed at this moment. Since the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity was given by Meng Tian Feng, how could Meng Yu Zheng give it away so easily? He thought that Meng Yu Zheng was not being serious. After all, Meng Yu Zheng knew how precious the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity was.
Meng Yu Zheng said with a smile, “Uncle Tan, you’re right. I misspoke earlier when I said that I’ll give you the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. What I mean is that if you help me kill that brat who’ll be marrying Wang Luo Yu, I’ll lend you the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. At that time, it’ll surely bring you closer to becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God or even a supreme powerhouse. Once you achieve your goal, you’ll return it to me.”
Meng Yu Zheng’s expression was serious as he continued to say, “Needless to say, if you agree, you’ll have to make the Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath, Uncle Tan. You have to swear that you’ll return the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity to me after you become a peerless top advanced Supreme God or a supreme powerhouse. Otherwise, even if you kill that Li Feng, I won’t lend you the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.”
The Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath was a type of oath people made in the Outer Boundary. After swearing a Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath, one would be subjected to the rules of heaven and earth. If one broke one’s oath, even if one escaped from the Outer Boundary to the Myriad Worlds, one still would not be able to escape death.
In the Myriad Worlds, it was difficult for those below the realm of supreme powerhouses to make a Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath. As such, the Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath was rarely mentioned in the Myriad Worlds. Moreover, supreme powerhouses were the ones who maintained order in the Myriad World and executed the punishment of breaking a blood oath. Unlike blood oaths in the Myriad Worlds, the Heaven’s Vault Blood Oath was governed by a higher power.
Meanwhile, Tan Xiu Teng frowned slightly when he heard Meng Yu Zheng’s words. When his frown finally eased, he said, “Very well, I promise you.”
Tan Xiu Teng was not worried about Meng Yu Zheng going back on his promise after he completed the task. Even if Meng Yu Zheng was protected by Meng Tian Feng, it was impossible for Meng Tian Feng to follow Meng Yu Zheng everywhere. It would not do Meng Yu Zheng any good to offend him. Moreover, now that he was serving Meng Tian Feng, the supreme powerhouse of the Meng clan, he could be considered half a member of the Meng clan. It was unlikely that Meng Yu Zheng would break his promise.
Upon hearing Tan Xiu Teng’s reply, Meng Yu Zheng said with a smile, “Thank you, Uncle Tan!”
Meng Yu Zheng was certain, right from the start, that Tan Xiu Teng would not refuse him. After all, he knew how tempting the fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity was to Tan Xiu Teng. He had also heard from Meng Tian Feng that Tan Xiu Teng agreed to serve him because Meng Tian Feng promised to guide him in comprehending the law of fire.
Tan Xiu Teng was a famous figure in the Divine Sand Realm and was known as the Green Flame Saber King. He was known for his unruly nature. If it were not for the fact that Meng Tian Feng also comprehended the law of fire, an unruly person like him might not be willing to serve a supreme powerhouse like Meng Tian Feng. There were many supreme powerhouses in the Divine Sand Realm, and he had never served any of them until Meng Tian Feng appeared. Based on this, it could be seen that he was not very interested in serving a supreme powerhouse before this.
…
At this time, Duan Ling Tian naturally did not know that Meng Yu Zheng from the Green Billow City’s Meng clan, whom he refused to meet, had already planned to assassinate him. However, even if he was aware of it, he would not take it seriously. After all, Tan Xiu Teng was not stronger than two Supreme Elders of the Wang clan; Tang Xiu Teng would be lucky if he was able to escape after fighting the duo at once.
Duan Ling Tian patiently waited for the wedding day to arrive. After that, he would stay in the Wang clan a little longer before taking Wang Luo Yu away. Once he found a place for her to settle down, he would have fulfilled the late Wang Yi Yuan’s final wish and repaid Wang Yi Yuan for giving him a treasure; he would no longer owe Wang Yi Yuan anymore. With that, he would be able to continue on his own journey.
…
A few days before the wedding of Wang Luo Yu and Li Feng; Duan Ling Tian’s fake persona, Blue Dawn City was already very lively. The guests that the Wang clan invited arrived in Blue Dawn City one after another, and they stayed in the inn arranged for them by the Wang clan.
The day before the wedding, Wang Kui, the Clan Leader of the Wang clan, returned to the clan with an old man who looked like a sage.
When the old man arrived, Wang Jing Rao, the Supreme Elder of the Wang clan whom Duan Ling Tian had once sparred with, came over immediately. He bowed and kneeled respectfully to the old man as soon as he saw the old man.
All in all, ten days passed by in just a blink of an eye.
