4525 A Destructive Sword Ray Descends From the Sky
Since two groups of people had entered the Realm of Origin before this, many treasures had been discovered and taken away.
Duan Ling Tian could only travel deeper and explore the Realm of Origin.
Although there were downsides to entering the Realm of Origin last, there were also advantages. For example, the experiences that the first and second groups shared were very useful. They helped Duan Ling Tian to avoid several dangerous places as he traveled into the depths of the Realm of Origin.
During his journey, he also found a few things, and among them, there was something that the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion wanted.
“Hmm?”
After traveling for a while, Duan Ling Tian found a group of people up ahead. He looked up and saw the void twisting and rippling violently. As he drew closer, the conversations in his surroundings also entered his ears.
“What’s going on? There’s such a strong killing intent!”
“It feels… It feels as if something is being formed…”
“I can sense the Sword Dao…”
Duan Ling Tian was not familiar with the faces of the people around him. He only recognized one person. The person was the other peerless top advanced Supreme God that the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion found, apart from Yao Tian Chen.
Thanks to Xiao Tian Ci; the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace, Duan Ling Tian knew that the other party was a peerless top advanced Supreme God who comprehended the Sword Dao to the fourth stage and the law of earth to the paramount stage. His Sword Dao was the defensive type, and it was said that no one under the realm of supreme powerhouses could hurt him after he became a peerless top advanced Supreme God. However, due to his strong defenses, his offenses were weak compared to other peerless top advanced Supreme Gods. Nonetheless, those below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods were still no match for him.
‘I think his name is… Zheng Bin?’
Duan Ling Tian was about to move closer to watch the excitement when the entire place suddenly shook. Following that, a powerful Sword Dao suddenly swept out. When he looked up, he saw an opening in the sky above him. Soon after the opening appeared, a dim gray light began to flash around it as black lightning bolts as thick as an adult’s arm began to flash. In just a moment, a terrifyingly dangerous aura spread out.
‘It feels like something bad is about to happen…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he quickly retreated.
At the same time, Zheng Bin, the peerless top advanced Supreme God, also retreated.
Suddenly…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook violently. It was as though the world was about to end. Then, a huge sword ray suddenly descended from the opening in the sky. As soon as the sword ray appeared, a horrifying destructive aura permeated the entire place.
‘This is bad!’
Duan Ling Tian decisively turned around to flee, but he quickly discovered that an invisible force seemed to be holding him in place. He could not move at all. He could only move his eyes and watched as everything unfolded.
Similarly, Zheng Bin, the peerless top advanced Supreme God, was in the same situation as Duan Ling Tian.
Boom!
Duan Ling Tian watched as the people standing closest to the huge sword ray were instantly reduced to ashes. Following that, Zheng Bin was also reduced to ashes when the light shrouded him.
“No!”
When Duan Ling Tian saw the light of destruction approaching him, he fell into despair. He could not free himself at all. In just a moment, the light completely shrouded him.
…
At almost the same time.
Outside the Realm of Origin.
The expression of Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace, suddenly changed.
It did not take long before the expressions of the three supreme powerhouses next to Xiao Tian Ci changed as well.
One of the supreme powerhouses asked, looking slightly frightened, “Half of the prodigies representing our Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion who entered the Realm of Origin just died?”
Xiao Tian Ci and the other three supreme powerhouses just received a message saying that the Soul Orbs of half of the prodigies from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion just shattered.
“What’s going on? The first two groups didn’t encounter such a thing at all. How did so many people die so quickly?”
“Palace Master Xiao, what do you think?”
The three supreme powerhouses instinctively looked at Xiao Tian Ci for answers.
After all, Xiao Tian Ci was their leader here. Not only did he have a higher status than them due to his position as the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace, but he was also stronger than them.
Xiao Tian Ci speculated out loud in a deep voice, “They must have violated one of the rules in the Realm of Origin. Otherwise, I can’t think of another reason…”
Naturally, Xiao Tian Ci could only speculate based on his knowledge and experience. He was not certain his speculation was right. In any case, there was nothing he could do. After all, he could not enter the Realm of Origin, not even if he forced his way in.
If one forced one’s way in, the Realm of Origin would self-destruct, and the energy from the destruction would kill the person who tried to force his or her way in. In the past, there were quite a few Saints in the Outer Boundary who were killed in such a manner.
The Realms of Origins were left behind by supreme powerhouses before the gap in history. They were at least level-seven supreme powerhouses. Perhaps, there were even level-eight or level-nine supreme powerhouses.
Xiao Tian Ci did not think much about the deaths of the other prodigies. However, he could not remain completely indifferent when he thought about Duan Ling Tian, whom he had invited to join the Golden Dragon Palace. He thought to himself, ‘I hope Duan Ling Tian isn’t among those who just perished…’
Duan Ling Tian was an unprecedented monstrous prodigy. Xiao Tian Ci knew that, given enough time, Duan Ling Tian would definitely become a top supreme powerhouse in both the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds even if Duan Ling Tian could not break through the curse of the seventh level. He did not doubt that Duan Ling Tian would stand at the peak of the sixth level. Naturally, this was under the premise that Duan Ling Tian successfully entered the realm of supreme powerhouses after becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God.
After all, if a powerful advanced Supreme God deliberately suppressed his or her cultivation base and ignored the call of the realm of the supreme powerhouses, it would be very difficult for him or her to break into the realm of supreme powerhouses again. This was why it was incredibly difficult for peerless top advanced Supreme Gods to become supreme powerhouses.
Xiao Tian Ci was very lucky and managed to enter the realm of supreme powerhouses when he was a peerless top advanced Supreme God. At that time, his law was only close to the paramount stage, and his Sword Dao was only at the fourth stage. He only comprehended his law to the paramount stage after he became a supreme powerhouse.
‘Duan Ling Tian, it’ll be a great loss to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion if you die…’
