Chapter 3490 - The King Of Gods

"Feng Qing Yang?!" Great Master Miyan was thoroughly shocked by Feng Qing Yang's sudden appearance. How did Feng Qing Yang arrive so quickly? He had not even destroyed the divine mark yet. Had Feng Qing Yang been secretly protecting Duan Ling Tian all this time? He could not believe the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, a prominent figure in the Devata Realms, would put in so much effort just to protect his true disciple.

"W-why are you here?" Great Master Miyan asked with a grim expression on his face. A hint of fear could be heard in his voice when he spoke.

"You would've gotten away with your plan if I didn't show up, right?" Feng Qing Yang looked at Great Master Miyan icily. He had heard everything Great Master Miyan had said to Duan Ling Tian earlier. Naturally, he did not know that Great Master Miyan had possessed Ru Lai so he thought Ru Lai wanted to possess Duan Ling Tian.

Great Master Miyan sneered. He moved, preparing to flee. However, how could he get away with Feng Qing Yang around?

"Since you're already here, why don't you stay a little longer?" Feng Qing Yang said casually.

Mustard sword rays appeared out of thin air and formed a cage, trapping Great Master Miyan.

Faced with a formidable opponent, Great Master Miyan remained calm. His expression was grim as his kasaya suddenly fluttered. He raised his hand and transformed into a streak of golden light, attempting to break free from the restraint of the cage. He could not get into a direct confrontation with Feng Qing Yang since Feng Qing Yang had previously injured his divine soul. His strength had diminished so greatly that even someone who had just attained godhood could easily beat him.

'How powerful!' Duan Ling Tian exclaimed inwardly when he sensed the energy from the streak of golden light. If his master was not around, there was no doubt that he would have been taken away by Great Master Miyan.

On the other hand, Feng Qing Yang easily deflected Great Master Miyan's attack. Moreover, his cage that was formed from the mustard sword rays stood firm, preventing Great Master Miyan from escaping.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of earth-shattering explosions rang in the air, alarming all the young geniuses at the Primeval Cliff.

However, since the Primeval Cliff was isolated by Formations, those outside of the Formations were unaware of the commotion inside.

Soon after, nearly 100 of the participants, including Su Li; Ling Jue Yun; Tang San Pao; Yu Dong Fang; and Zhong Gui Yu, gathered around Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian, and Great Master Miyan.

"It's Temple Master Ru Lai from the Pavilion Shaft Heaven!"

"Temple Master Ru Lai, the Great Sun Celestial Emperor, is being restrained by Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang?"

"Is Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang that powerful?"

"Previously, didn't Temple Master Ru Lai say he would go to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven to challenge Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang to a duel? How dare he say such words when he's so much weaker than Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang?"

On the other hand, the group of participants from the Title Temple stepped forward and bowed in unison.

One of them bowed and said, "Lord Heavenly Emperor, may I ask how our Temple Master offended you?"

The group of young geniuses instantly recognize Duan Ling Tian, Feng Qing Yang, and Ru Lai, who was trapped by Feng Qing Yang.

"Lord Heavenly Emperor, please show mercy."

About a dozen young geniuses stepped forward to plead for mercy for Great Master Miyan whom they mistakenly thought was Ru Lai.

Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh upon seeing this. The Title Temple's influence was really far-reaching; among the 100 participants advancing to the fifth round, at least a dozen of them were from the Title Temple. Even the Heavenly Palaces of the various Devata Realms and the heaven-grade forces would find it difficult to nurture more than two young geniuses capable of advancing to the fifth round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses.

Alas, the Title Temple's young geniuses' pleas fell on deaf ears.

Feng Qing Yang stared at Ru Lai and coldly said, "Ru Lai, you'll be the second god that I, Feng Qing Yang, kill'¦"

The young geniuses in the surroundings gasped in shock upon hearing these words.

Duan Ling Tian was shocked by this revelation as well. He did not expect his master to have killed a god before.

Great Master Miyan, who had possessed Ru Lai, said in a low and threatening voice, "Feng Qing Yang, the Title Temple won't let this matter go if you kill me'¦"

Great Master Miyan had known that he was no match for Feng Qing Yang, but it was only at this moment that he realized that he could not even escape from Feng Qing Yang even after he had attacked with all his might. Faced with a life-or-death situation, he had no other choice but to threaten Feng Qing Yang with the Title Temple. He hoped that mentioning the Title Temple would help preserve his life.

"Ru Lai, you wanted to possess my disciple'¦ If the Title Temple finds out about this, I wonder if they'll still avenge you. Regardless, even if they want to avenge you, I'm not afraid. I'll make sure to visit each of the Title Temple branches in the various Devata Realms," Feng Qing Yang replied nonchalantly, "After all, it's not unprecedented for members of the Title Temple branches to be annihilated'¦"

Great Master Miyan scoffed. "Feng Qing Yang, do you think you're that person from the past? You're far from being comparable to him!"

"The Title Temple will find out for themselves if I'm comparable to that person or not. It has nothing to do with you'¦" Feng Qing Yang replied.

At the end of Feng Qing Yang's words, a mustard ring of light rose from his body and merged with the numerous sword rays in the sky.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Spatial tears appeared in the void as the seemingly indestructible sword rays shot toward Great Master Miyan. These spatial tears were unintentionally created from the sheer force of Feng Qing Yang's attack; they were unlike the spatial tears that Duan Ling Tian created using the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity. Currently, Duan Ling Tian was not strong enough to create spatial tears in the Devata Realms. Even those Nine Star Gods of War were not capable of it. Only those who had attained godhood were capable of such a feat.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Great Master Miyan did not give up or sink into despair. His expression was solemn as his kasaya fluttered in the air again. Following that, two large saber rays shot out as he waved his hand. A spatial tear that was not as big as the ones Feng Qing Yang created appeared in the void.

In just a blink of an eye, the sword rays and the saber rays collided. The air seemed to freeze as silence permeated the air for a split second; it was the calm before the storm. Following that, a thunderous explosion rang in the air as light as bright as the sun burst forth.

When the shockwave dissipated, silence descended. Only the sounds of the void ripping rang in the air.

Feng Qing Yang's sword rays had easily destroyed Great Master Miyan's saber rays and continued on their trajectory toward Great Master Miyan.

Great Master Miyan hastily avoided the sword rays. Although his body was riddled with cuts, he managed to avoid being fatally injured. Nevertheless, his speed had decreased considerably along with his strength. He said anxiously, "Feng Qing Yang, if you dare to kill me, you and everyone in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven will suffer the consequences! My elder brother is a king of gods!"

Alas, Great Master Miyan's threats fell on deaf ears. Feng Qing Yang only stared at him expressionlessly. How could he be so easily frightened? If he was so easily intimidated, he would not have been able to come so far. Moreover, he truly was not worried if Great Master Miyan was telling the truth or not; after all, he was on the verge of becoming a king of gods as well.

"Die!" Killing intent flashed through Feng Qing Yang's eyes. He was clearly determined to kill Great Master Miyan.

At this moment'¦

"Master!" Duan Ling Tian cried out before Feng Qing Yang attacked. At this time, he was likely the only person who was able to stop Feng Qing Yang from killing Great Master Miyan. He continued to say, "Master, Yu Dong Fang just sent a message. He said his master, Heavenly Emperor Xuanyuan, wants to call in the favor. He wants me to plead with you to spare Ru Lai."

The reason Duan Ling Tian survived after dying on earth was directly related to Gongsun Xuanyuan, Yu Hao Tian, and Ru Lai even if the trio did not intentionally save his life. With the trio, his life would have ended on earth and he would not have transmigrated to another mundane realm. For this reason, he had agreed to do Gongsun Xuanyuan a favor. Moreover, he really did not like owing people favors, let alone a huge life-saving grace such as that.

Nevertheless, Duan Ling Tian had no intention of stopping his master if his master was truly determined to kill Ru Lai. Therefore, he added, "However, master, if you insist on killing him, I will not insist on you sparing his life as well. I can find another way to repay Heavenly Emperor Xuanyuan."
