Chapter 4516 - 4516 A High Death Rate!

4516 A High Death Rate!

Duan Ling Tian looked at Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s Golden Dragon Palace who shared the same surname as Xiao Mu Bai, one of the Lords of the God Defying World.

Xiao Tian Ci was a genius who shook the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds, including the God Defying World, before he was defeated by Xiao Mu Bao, who then rose to fame. Although Xiao Tian Ci was defeated by Xiao Mu Bai, Duan Ling Tian knew that the difference between their strength was likely not very big.

At this moment, Xue Ao suddenly cried out, “Palace Master Xiao is coming over!”

Duan Ling Tian looked up and saw Hu Ming Yue leading Xiao Tian Ci over.

“Duan Ling Tian, this is Palace Master Xiao,” Hu Ming Yue said, “Palace Master Xiao wants to meet the sword prodigy who comprehended the Sword Dao to the sixth stage.”

When the people in the surroundings heard Hu Ming Yue’s words, they all turned to look at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief. It was not surprising that they found it hard to believe that a cultivator below the realm of supreme powerhouses had comprehended the Sword Dao to the sixth stage. However, it did not take long for them to dismiss their thoughts. After all, why would Hu Ming Yue, someone from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, lie about this matter?

“Greetings, Palace Master Xiao,” Duan Ling Tian said with a slight bow to Xiao Tian Ci.

Xue Ao and the others quickly followed suit and greeted Xiao Tian Ci.

Xiao Tian Ci smiled slightly before he pointed at Duan Ling Tian and asked casually, “Can you show me your Sword Dao?”

In just a blink of an eye, a streak of light shot out of the tip of Xiao Tian Ci’s finger toward Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian could sense that the power in the streak of light was comparable to all the power he had, which meant that the force of the attack was almost comparable to that of a peerless top advanced Supreme God. He was amazed by Xiao Tian Ci’s perfect control over his Divine Energy.

Duan Ling Tian quickly took a deep breath before he flew toward the streak of light with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in hand. At the same time, his Divine Energy, his law of space that has reached the perfect form, and his Sword Dao surged from his body.

Swoosh!

Following that, a seven-colored sword ray shot out and collided with the streak of light, generating a terrifying explosion.

The shockwave of the explosion was just about to hit Duan Ling Tian when Xiao Tian Ci promptly raised his hand.

An invisible force swept out, easily neutralizing the shockwaves that could leave Duan Ling Tian with minor injuries.

“Thank you, Palace Master Xiao,” Duan Ling Tian said when everything was said and done.

“Not bad,” Xiao Tian Ci said with a nod, “Are you interested in joining the Golden Dragon Palace after you come out from the Realm of Origin?”

Everyone was shocked. Even Hu Ming Yue did not expect Xiao Tian Ci to extend an invitation to Duan Ling Tian. Asking Duan Ling Tian to join the Golden Dragon Palace was no different from asking Duan Ling Tian to join the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. Most importantly, up until now, Xiao Tian Ci had only personally invited two peerless top advanced Supreme Gods to join the Golden Dragon Palace.

‘This means that Palace Master Xiao thinks Duan Ling Tian’s value is the same as that of a peerless top advanced Supreme God, right?’

At the same time, the sword prodigies in the surroundings looked at Duan Ling Tian enviously. How could they not be envious when it was clear that Xiao Tian Ci, the strongest person below the realm of Saints in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, had high regard for Duan Ling Tian?

“It’s an honor for me to join the Golden Dragon Palace,” Duan Ling Tian replied decisively. It would be foolish of him to refuse Xiao Tian Ci, who was only second to the Saint of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.

“Very good,” Xiao Tian Ci said with a smile, “From now on, you’re not only a member of the Golden Dragon Palace, but the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion as well. I, Xiao Tian Ci; the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace, bestow upon you the title the Void Sword. What do you think?”

A title was not very useful, but a title bestowed by Xiao Tian Ci indicated how highly he valued Duan Ling Tian.

“Thank you, Palace Master Xiao,” Duan Ling Tian replied. Although the title did not mean anything to him, he gladly accepted it as a kind gesture from Xiao Tian Ci. Moreover, the title would make his life much easier in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.

“The Void Sword… Palace Master Xiao is really good at naming,” Hu Ming Yue said with a smile, trying to flatter Xiao Tian Ci.

Xiao Tian Ci did not respond to Hu Ming Yue. Instead, he said to Duan Ling Tian, “Duan Ling Tian, you’ll enter the Realm of Origin with the third group.”

“Yes, Palace Master Xiao,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

Lan Ming and Xue Ao looked at Duan Ling Tian enviously, thinking that Duan Ling Tian was extremely lucky.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian asked Hu Ming Yue curiously through Voice Transmission, “Senior Hu, what is Palace Master Xiao’s strongest law?”

“Palace Master Xiao’s strongest law is the law of death. He has comprehended it to the paramount stage. His second strongest law is the law of life, which he has also comprehended to the paramount stage. Unfortunately, his comprehension of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth isn’t as good. He only comprehended the Sword Dao to the fifth stage. If he manages to comprehend the Sword Dao to the sixth stage, it’s likely that he’ll break through and become a Saint.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded in understanding as he thought to himself, ‘It seems like Palace Master Xiao knows I’m quite young. Geniuses are naturally arrogant, but they’ll respect those who are superior to them…’

At this moment, Xiao Tian Ci gestured to Duan Ling Tian to stand next to him.

At the same time, those from the first group finally came out of the Realm of Origin.

Subsequently, someone said, “Palace Master Xiao, a total of 12 people perished in the Realm of Origin this time.”

Xiao Tian Ci nodded calmly.

On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian was shocked. Based on the number of people in the second group, he speculated that there should be about 30 to 40 people in the first group. If his speculation was right, then the death rate was too high; more than one-third of the prodigies from the first group had died.

At the same time, the expressions of the sword prodigies in the second group changed drastically when they heard the number of prodigies who died.
