4326 The Appearance of the True Body of a Supreme Powerhouse

Duan Ling Tian knew that the supreme powerhouses would not be giving him the divine fountain. The announcement had only said that the person who ranked first in the overall ranking would be allowed to bathe in the divine fountain.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian still did not know how he was supposed to claim the rewards. He planned to go to the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land first to see if Ke'er was there. After ensuring her safety, he planned to return to the Myriad Laws Academy in the Profound Energy Land. He knew that he could only rescue Ke'er after receiving the rewards, which would help him break through to the realm of an intermediate Supreme God.

'I don't think I'll be able to claim my reward here, right? I wonder if I'll get to decide when I want to bathe in the divine fountain? After all, I have other matters to attend to as well…'

In Duan Ling Tian's opinion, the most important thing now was to go to the Divine Offering Land to see if Ke'er was in the Xia clan. If not, he would wait until the Realm Battlefield closed before going to the Xia clan again. He was worried that bathing in the divine fountain would take a lot of time and that he might miss out on the chance to rescue Ke'er. Although the divine fountain would help him raise his cultivation base, nothing was more important to him than rescuing Ke'er. After all, this was the main driving force that pushed him to grow stronger.

'If the supreme powerhouse comes here, perhaps, I can request a favor from them to make sure that claiming the rewards won't interfere with me saving Ke'er…'

After the Realm Battlefield closed, Duan Ling Tian was worried that Ke'er might behave extremely if the Xia clan drove her to a corner. After all, Xia Jie, the Third Master of the Xia clan, had already rescued his family and friends, who were previously used as a tool to threaten Ke'er. Without them, based on his understanding of Ke'er, she would never compromise with the Xia clan even if it meant that she would die. Needless to say, he did not wish for such a tragedy to happen to Ke'er again.

'I'll leave the Divine Sanction Battlefield and go to the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land now to enquire about Ke'er…'

'I wonder where's the nearest base camp?'

Duan Ling Tian could only leave the Divine Sanction Battlefield through the Transportation Formation in one of the base camps. At this time, the chaotic region had closed, but the Realm Battlefield was still open.

'If Ke'er is on the Realm Battlefield, she must know that I'm with the Myriad Laws Academy in the Profound Energy Land. There's a possibility that she might look for me in the academy. If I can't find her in the Xia clan, I'll return to the academy again through the Realm Battlefield. Perhaps, Ke'er and I will reunite in the academy…'

Duan Ling Tian's heart grew restless, and he could not wait to go to the nearest base camp. However, not long after he took off, the void in front of him began to ripple. Since he comprehended the law of space, he very quickly discovered the fluctuations.

The void rippled briefly before a figure suddenly appeared. Strangely, the figure did not come out through a spatial tear.

The figure belonged to a middle-aged man with a pair of thick and bushy eyebrows. He looked solemn as he approached Duan Ling Tian.

Although the middle-aged man looked ordinary, Duan Ling Tian could clearly sense the other party's domineering aura. He could also sense his Divine Tree of Life shaking in his Little World. This shocked him so much that he hastily sealed his Little World.

'A supreme powerhouse!'

It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to figure out that the middle-aged man was a supreme powerhouse. Previously, when faced with the apparition of the supreme powerhouse from the Ning clan, the Divine Tree of Life did not react in this manner.

Moreover, before he sealed his Little World, a soft voice had rung in his ears.

"Little Tian, what's happening? Where are you? Why are you with the true body of a supreme powerhouse?"

The voice belonged to the World Cleansing Divine Water that was attached to the Divine Tree of Life in Duan Ling Tian's Little World. In the past, the Divine Tree of Life belonged to a supreme powerhouse who was a master of a Realm of Gods. That supreme powerhouse was among the strongest supreme powerhouses in the God Defying World. For this reason, the World Cleansing Divine Water was much more knowledgeable than ordinary Five Divine Elements.

'A real supreme powerhouse!'

Duan Ling Tian was naturally shocked when he heard the World Cleansing Divine Water's words even though he had roughly guessed the middle-aged man's identity. After calming down, he quickly cupped his fists together and bowed at the middle-aged man as he said, "Greetings, senior."

A supreme powerhouse could easily kill Duan Ling Tian, after all.

Duan Ling Tian knew that the supreme powerhouse must have come because of the rewards he won in the advanced chaotic region. He could not help but smile wryly and feel slightly bitter. This was the least favorable scenario for him.

The middle-aged man nodded at Duan Ling Tian and was slightly puzzled when he saw the wry smile on Duan Ling Tian's face. He asked bluntly, "It seems like you're aware of the reason why I'm here. However, what's with the bitter expression on your face?"

"Senior…" Duan Ling Tian hoped to request a favor from the supreme powerhouse. With his cultivation base now, it was impossible for him to return the favor, but this might not be the case in the future. After all, he had a very high chance of becoming a supreme powerhouse in the future.

Duan Ling Tian asked, "Senior, I wonder if it's possible for me to decide when to bathe in the divine fountain and claim the other rewards in advance?"

The middle-aged man frowned slightly and asked, "Do you have something important to attend to now?"

"Yes," Duan Ling Tian replied truthfully with a nod.

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's reply. After all, the privilege of bathing in the divine fountain was something even supreme powerhouses like him coveted for their descendants. However, Duan Ling Tian said he had something more important to attend to.

The middle-aged man did not respond immediately. Instead, he reported the matter to his superior, quickly reporting the situation. "My lord…"

It did not take long before the middle-aged man's superior, a young man, replied.

"Tell him that he has to bathe in the divine fountain now. Otherwise, he'll lose the chance to bathe in the divine fountain. Why is he not appreciative of such an opportunity?"

The young man could not figure out Duan Ling Tian's thoughts as well.

The middle-aged man did not waste time and relayed the young man's message to Duan Ling Tian. He said, "You claim the other rewards now. However, if you don't bathe in the divine fountain now, you'll lose this chance forever. The choice is in your hands."

Duan Ling Tian's expression changed immediately upon hearing the middle-aged man's words. In the next moment, his expression turned solemn as though he had made up his mind. He looked at the middle-aged man and said earnestly, "Senior, I, Duan Ling Tian, rarely ask for help. This time, I really hope that you'll do me a favor. This matter is very important to me. If you're willing to help me, I promise that I'll definitely return the favor in the future. However, I understand if you're unable to help me. If that's the case, then I'll give up on the chance to bathe in the divine fountain."

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words. He could not understand why Duan Ling Tian would give up on the chance to bathe in the divine fountain. What could be more important than bathing in the divine fountain? Even supreme powerhouses would compete with each other to obtain such an opportunity.

Driven by his curiosity, the middle-aged man asked Duan Ling Tian about the favor. After all, he had very high regard for Duan Ling Tian. If the favor was within his capabilities and did not violate the rules of the Realm Battlefield, he would help Duan Ling Tian. There were no disadvantages to helping such a monstrous prodigy.

"What do you need my help with?" the middle-aged man asked.

Duan Ling Tian's eyes lit up upon hearing the middle-aged man's question. It was as though he had seen a glimmer of hope.
