4338 Duan Ling Tian, the Intermediate Supreme God!

Since the time flow where the divine fountain was located flowed differently from the outside world, Duan Ling Tian was able to focus on cultivating without pressure. He lost track of time as he cultivated, aware of the fact that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He was determined to raise his cultivation base.

Duan Ling Tian also did not keep his guard up when he cultivated like he usually would. After all, if there were any danger, it could only come from the supreme powerhouse who controlled the divine fountain, and if the other party intended to harm him, there was no reason for the other party to wait so long.

Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware that the soul of his wife, Ke'er, had been restrained by a member of the Blood Specter World's Soul Imprisonment Clan. He was also unaware that the Xia clan's estate in the Divine Offering Land had been reduced to rubbles.

…

At some point, the supreme powerhouse from the Xia clan and his friends had rushed over to the Xia clan. Alas, it was too late, and they could only leave in the end.

…

Meanwhile, the master of the Divine Offering Land, who was in the midst of a game of chess with his old friend, stopped the game immediately when he was alerted to what happened. He quickly rushed back to the Divine Offering Land.

Although the Divine Offering Land was his Little World, due to it being a Realm of Gods in the God Defying World, it was not in his body. It was not impossible for him to return the Divine Offering Land to his body, but doing so would make it lose the protection from being a part of the God Defying World to a certain extent. However, doing so would also boost his strength greatly.

"As it turns out, the disturbance wasn't from the advanced chaotic region closing on the Realm Battlefield. It was due to the emergence of a member of the Soul Imprisonment Clan in my Divine Offering Land!"

He scoffed coldly as muttered under his breath, "You're really bold. I've memorized your aura. If you dare to enter the Divine Offering Land again, you'll definitely die."

As the master of the Divine Offering Land, he was naturally much stronger in the Divine Offering Land.

…

In a mundane realm.

On an island protected with layers upon layers of Formations.

A beautiful young woman stood at the peak of a mountain as she gazed into the distance. She was Duan Si Ling; Duan Ling Tian and Ke'er's daughter.

As though she was connected by heart with her mother, she had begun to feel uneasy recently.

"Father's doppelganger from the law disappeared a few years ago after its energy was depleted… I wonder if he's okay… It's been almost a thousand years so the spatial passages between the lower realms and the Realms of Gods are about to open soon…"

"Why do I feel so uneasy recently? Did something happen?"

Duan Si Ling's eyes were brimming with worries as she murmured to herself.

At this time, a gentle voice rang from afar.

"Si Ling, here you are…"

Following that, a graceful figure appeared near Duan Si Ling.

"Aunt Wu," Duan Si Ling greeted respectfully as she cupped her fists together.

The newcomer was Feng Tian Wu.

"Aunt Wu, I've been feeling very uneasy recently. Do you… Do you think something happened to my father?" Duan Si Ling asked.

"Silly girl," Feng Tian Wu shook her head and said, "Don't think too much. Nothing will happen to your father. He has always been able to turn misfortunes into fortunes. It'll be no exception this time…"

When Feng Tian Wu spoke, her expression softened immediately. Despite her words, she also could not help but feel worried.

…

In another place on the island.

A peerless beauty stood silently in a courtyard as she looked at the sky.

"Huan'er, when you're cultivating, you should go out more. There are many interesting places in this mundane realm…"

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for his return here…"

…

To the Xia family, the appearance of the supreme powerhouse from the Blood Specter World was undoubtedly a disaster. Their clan's estate was in ruins now.

After the disaster, all of them carried out their respective duties. With everyone's effort, they quickly reconstructed the Xia clan's estate.

Unexpectedly, during this time, Xia Yu publicly resigned from his position as the Clan Leader of the Xia clan. He planned to stay by his unconscious daughter's side after his resignation.

The elders of the Xia clan expressed their wish for Xia Yu to continue holding the position until they could elect another clan leader so the clan would not fall into chaos.

Initially, Xia Yu refused the elders. He only agreed after his third brother, Xia Jie, persuaded him. Even then, he only handled a few important matters and spent most of his time by his daughter's side to atone for his guilt.

"My precious daughter, I heard and also confirmed that your husband is safe…"

"He's really outstanding. If he's willing, when you marry him, I'll arrange a grand wedding for you."

"I was wrong in the past for agreeing to help the Yun clan deal with him. However, from now on, I'll only protect him… After all, he's your husband."

Xia Yu, the majestic Clan Leader of the Xia clan, sat in a courtyard with a cup of wine in his hand and muttered to himself as he stared at the door of a room in the courtyard. At this moment, a thick beard covered the bottom half of his face, and his robe was stained with wine.

…

Meanwhile, Xia Jie was also shocked by his usually aloof brother's transformation. It made him realize that his brother had been putting up a front all this time. He did not doubt now that his brother truly cared about Ke'er.

His expression was complicated as he looked at his brother. He had never seen his dignified brother in such a state before.

…

Duan Ling Tian continued to cultivate without any regard for time.

Previously, his speed of absorbing the divine fountain had slowed down, causing him to worry if he would be brought out of the divine fountain. As such, he only hoped that he would be able to become an intermediate Supreme God before he was forced to leave the divine fountain.

As time passed, just as he had expected, his speed of absorption became slower. It was particularly slow when he was on the verge of becoming an intermediate Supreme God. As such, he became even more worried about being forced to leave before he became an intermediate Supreme God. It was indeed not easy to become an intermediate Supreme God. He struggled for a long time before he finally succeeded.

At the critical moment when he was the most worried, he smoothly broke through and became an intermediate Supreme God.

"Hm?"

After becoming an intermediate Supreme God, Duan Ling Tian discovered that his speed of absorption had increased again. Although he was surprised, he did not stop absorbing the liquid from the divine fountain. After all, he had to absorb as much as he could. He would never be presented with this kind of opportunity again.

…

Inside a pavilion on an island hovering in the endless void.

A faint smile appeared on the face of a young man who was usually expressionless.

"Not bad… I didn't expect him to break through… Now that he has broken through, he shouldn't have any problem stabilizing his cultivation base. However, I don't think he'll be able to break through and become an advanced Supreme God there…"

The young man seemed to recall something before he muttered to himself, "I thought his Eldest Senior Sister has great potential… It seems like he's not inferior to her at all… In fact, he might be even more outstanding than her. I'm looking forward to his future performance…"

After a moment, a frown appeared on the young man's face, and he sighed heavily.

"God Defying World…"

Although the God Defying World seemed peaceful on the surface, he had long discovered the undercurrent of tension that became stronger over the years. He and his peers were getting older, and the future of the God Defying World would depend on the younger generation in the future.

…

Duan Ling Tian did not expect to spend nearly 200 years in the place where the divine fountain was located.

During this time, not only did he become an intermediate Supreme God, but he also completely stabilized his cultivation base and made further progress in his cultivation.

In the end, his speed of absorption slowed down so much that he was forcefully brought out of the divine fountain.

Duan Ling Tian knew that once he was no longer a rudimentary Supreme God and became an intermediate Supreme God, the time here was no longer 10 days to a day inside the world. Instead, five days here would become equal to a day in the outside world.

"Almost forty years…"

After Duan Ling Tian was brought out of the divine fountain, the familiar indifferent voice rang in the air again.

"You can now choose the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity of your choice. Apart from the Supreme Powerhouse Divinities that contain the law of earth, the law of wood, and the law of life, I have everything. Choose one."

Duan Ling Tian was dumbstruck when he heard these words. Clearly, the other party possessed many Supreme Powerhouse Divinities. He could not help but wonder inwardly, 'Who is he exactly?'
