Chapter 4253 - 4253 Blocking the Way

4253 Blocking the Way

Soon enough, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed when he sensed that the void in the surroundings was rippling and that a strange and terrifying energy was controlling the surrounding space.

"This… This is the Mastery Dao, one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth?"

The middle-aged man looked at the purple-clad Duan Ling Tian, who was calmly staring at him despite being in a disadvantageous position. He could not help but shudder when he recalled Duan Ling Tian's earlier words.

"Alright, I'm going to stop playing with you."

Earlier, the middle-aged man was sure that Duan Ling Tian was just trying to intimidate him. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian was trying to stall for time by exerting the power of the sword in his hand before he used his bloodline power to escape. However, at this time, the true meaning of Duan Ling Tian's words finally dawned on him.

'His strength was only slightly weaker than mine earlier… Now that he has used his Mastery Dao, his strength completely overwhelms mine! Moreover, h-he… he has yet to use bloodline power!'

In the beginning, the middle-aged man thought that Duan Ling Tian would be able to fight him to a draw at most after using the bloodline power. However, even without the bloodline power, Duan Ling Tian's strength had already surpassed his after Duan Ling Tian cast the Mastery Dao, which was clearly above the rudimentary form. If Duan Ling Tian used his bloodline power as well, there was no doubt that he would die!

In just an instant, the middle-aged man changed his attitude. His expression changed a few times before he smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, I was just joking earlier. We come from the same Realm of Gods, after all. It's enough for us to spar casually."'

At the same time, the middle-aged man mobilized his Divine Energy and controlled the flames from the law of fire as he waited for Duan Ling Tian's response. He was prepared to flee if anything went wrong. Even if the chances of escaping were low, it was still better than staying here and waiting for death.

Duan Ling Tian smiled coldly. "Are you planning to go back on your words now? Earlier, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

The middle-aged man's expression turned unsightly as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. The flames around him soared as he prepared to flee. At the same time, his Supreme God Phenomenon, which was ten meters tall, exploded into flames.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang in the air before the middle-aged man did not run very far when he slammed into an invisible barrier, causing ripples to appear.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Following that, countless sword rays shot out, forming a sword formation around the middle-aged rudimentary Supreme God from the Divine Offering Land.

With the sword rays and Duan Ling Tian's control over the space, the middle-aged man could not leave at all. His expression changed as he exclaimed fearfully, "S-sword Dao!"

As a rudimentary Supreme God, the middle-aged man was not without knowledge. He could naturally tell that Duan Ling Tian had used the Sword Dao, another one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, he could also tell that Duan Ling Tian's mastery of the Sword Dao was no weaker than the Mastery Dao Duan Ling Tian had shown earlier.

'W-what kind of monster did I stumble upon?! He just broke through and became a rudimentary Supreme God… In other words, before he became a rudimentary Supreme God, he had already mastered the Mastery Dao and the Sword Dao to this level? I've never heard of such a prodigy, not even from prime supreme-rank forces… Never in my life did I hear about anyone capable of such a feat!'

The middle-aged man began to panic. He knew that it was difficult for him to escape today. He truly regretted his arrogance and stubbornness earlier. If he had only agreed to casually spar with Duan Ling Tian, he would not be in this situation now. After all, Duan Ling Tian was polite and made it very clear earlier that he only wanted to spar to test his strength and did not intend to fight to the death.

The middle-aged man forced a bright smile on his face before he said, "Sir… I-I was ignorant before… Please forgive me…"

Based on the current situation, the middle-aged man did not think he would be able to survive three moves from Duan Ling Tian even if he defended himself with all his might.

Duan Ling Tian remained indifferent to the middle-aged man's pleas. He only replied with his action.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Thousands of seven-colored sword rays gathered and shot toward the middle-aged man. They tyrannically mowed down everything in their path with the law of space as they flew in the air.

The middle-aged kept resisting with an ashen face as he shouted, 'Sir, I am…"

Alas, Duan Ling Tian was not interested in listening to the middle-aged man at all. Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the doppelganger from the law of space appeared behind the middle-aged man and decapitated the middle-aged man.

Subsequently, the seven-colored sword rays swept over, turning the middle-aged man's body into a mist of blood.

As blood rained down, a huge figure appeared and let out a thunderous cry before it collapsed.

Just like that, the rudimentary Supreme God from the Divine Offering Land died, brimming with regrets.

In fact, although Duan Ling Tian was displeased by the middle-aged man's behavior earlier when he asked to spar with the middle-aged man, he still did not intend to kill the middle-aged man. However, what sealed the middle-aged man's fate was when he said he wanted to fight with all his might, clearly intending to kill Duan Ling Tian.

'Although my Divine Energy isn't stable yet after becoming a rudimentary Supreme God, it's still leagues above the Divine Energy of advanced Emperors of Gods…With my current strength, I only have to fear those incredibly strong intermediate Supreme Gods. I don't have to worry about most intermediate Supreme Gods, let alone those below the realm of an intermediate Supreme God.'

After experimenting, Duan Ling Tian had a better understanding of his current strength, and he was rather satisfied.

'My progress isn't that slow…. I have 100 years left before the spatial passages between the Realms of Gods and the Devata Realms reopen. I have to break through and become an intermediate Supreme God after 100 years!'

Duan Ling Tian knew that after becoming a rudimentary Supreme God, his cultivation journey would get even more difficult. It would be difficult for him to gain tremendous progress through external things.

For example, now that he was a rudimentary Supreme God, the rewards from killing someone with the same cultivation base or even a higher cultivation base would no longer help him progress as much as before. The rewards would be like just a drop of water in a bucket.

Although there were still things that could help him to improve after becoming a rudimentary Supreme God, they were rare or not as efficient compared to when he was an advanced Emperor of Gods.

'I hope that I'll have good luck in the single-person secret realm and the chaotic region. In fact, I hope I'll have good luck in the next 100 years. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for me to become an intermediate Supreme God in 100 years.'

Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. It was going to be difficult to rely on fortuitous encounters to make speedy progress now that he had become a Supreme God. Even if he knew a supreme powerhouse who was willing to help him, at most, he could only become an intermediate Supreme God and stabilize his cultivation base in 100 years.

…

After killing the rudimentary Supreme God from the Divine Offering Land, Duan Ling Tian left soon after the phenomenon that announced the death of a Supreme God appeared. He teleported a few times, going further into the inner area. When he found a secluded place, he used all his battle merits to open a single-person secret realm.

"Let's see what kind of secret realm I open after using all my battle merits!"

…

In a land of ice in the Divine Offering Land.

A slender figure flew in the sky toward the direction of the Xia clan, a prime supreme-rank force.

At the same time, in the distant sky, a few people were spread out in the four directions

Suddenly, the eyes of the old man guarding the eastern direction widened, and his expression changed as he turned to look in the distance and saw a fast-approaching figure.

"T-That's the Eldest Young Miss of the Xia clan?! N-not only did she become an intermediate Supreme God, but she's also stabilized her cultivation base?!"

In just a moment, five messages were quickly sent out. Three messages were sent to three places near the Xia clan's estate while the other two messages headed west to the Yun clan, also a prime supreme-rank force in the Divine Offering Land.

…

"Xia Ning Xue has broken through and become an intermediate Supreme God? She's also stabilized her cultivation base?"

"Xia Ning Xue was a monstrous talent in her previous life, but she became even more monstrously talented after her reincarnation! How long did it take for her to recover her past-life cultivation base at its peak?"

"Now that she's recovered her cultivation base, Yun Bin isn't a match for her!"

Three figures from three directions flew east of the Xia clan's estate. Their speed and power were terrifying.

…

At the same time, an old man appeared in the east of the Xia clan's estate and stopped a slender figure from going to the Xia clan.

"Hmm?"

The slender figure paused. A beautiful woman frowned slightly as she turned to look at the old man. After her frown eased, she asked, "Are you from the Yun clan?"

The woman had a vague impression of the old man. In her past life, she seemed to have met him in the Xia clan. He was among the entourage from the Yun clan that visited the Xia clan at that time. She did not remember his name, but she vaguely remembered he was an elder of the Yun clan.

"I'm Yun Bin. Greetings, Miss Ning Xue," the old man said with a slight bow. At the same time, he silently mobilized his Divine Energy.
