4366 Condition

No one knew the Crimson Demon as well as his personal demon guard, Wu Cang. In the past, Wu Cang had witnessed the supreme powerhouse kill another personal demon guard because the personal demon guard failed to carry out the supreme powerhouse's order. One had to know that the personal demon guard had been following the supreme powerhouse for tens of thousands of years and was the supreme powerhouse's right-hand man. As such, it was only natural that he began to panic when he heard the supreme powerhouse's icy words. He might be a top advanced Supreme God, far stronger than most advanced Supreme Gods, but he was no different from an ant in front of a supreme powerhouse. He shuddered when he recalled how that now-dead personal demon guard was killed with just a strike despite defending with all his might.

'This is the might of a supreme powerhouse…'

Duan Ling Tian watched in a trance as Wu Cang, a top advanced Supreme God, kneeled and pleaded for his life. He could not help but feel sorry for Wu Cang. Wu Cang was rather powerful, and if Wu Cang had used his bloodline power or doppelgangers earlier, he might not have been able to escape Wu Cang without using the Divine Tree of Life or the Five Divine Elements in his Little World even if his Sword Dao was at a high level.

Duan Ling Tian had calculated everything earlier. If he had used his law of time and both his doppelgangers from the law of time and the law of space, he would only be on par with Wu Cang at best. Perhaps, he might have a chance of gaining the upper hand if he used the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements. When he was still in the God Defying World, the Five Divine Elements managed to recover slightly after absorbing the vital energy and liquid of the divine fountain. Although they had yet to fully recover, it would not be a problem for him to borrow their powers.

Seeing that such a powerful advanced Supreme God was reduced to such a humble state in front of the supreme powerhouse, Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel slightly helpless. He prayed inwardly that the supreme powerhouse would be willing to let him go. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape today.

After listening to Wu Cang's words, the supreme powerhouse known as the Crimson Devil scoffed coldly.

The few Centurions present on the scene held their breaths as they shifted their eyes from Wu Cang to Duan Ling Tian.

Upon sensing the Crimson Demon's gaze on him, Duan Ling Tian cupped his fists together again and said, "Senior Crimson Demon, it's my fault for accidentally trespassing into your territory. Please forgive me."

Duan Ling Tian knew he had to put aside his pride and lower himself in order to preserve his life. The supreme powerhouse was too strong. He was not alone; he had his family waiting for him, and Ke'er was still waiting for him to rescue her. He had come to the Outer Boundary to become stronger; his ultimate goal was to become a supreme powerhouse so he could force the supreme powerhouse who merged with Yun Qing Yan to release Ke'er's soul. Even if he could not find Yun Qing Yan, as long as he became a supreme powerhouse, he was confident he would be able to find another way to save Ke'er. Although the supreme powerhouses in the God Defying World were unable to help Ke'er, perhaps, he could find one of the strongest supreme powerhouses in the Myriad Worlds to help her. He naturally knew there was a chance that they might refuse him, but he still had to try. Based on what he learned in the God Defying World, he knew that his cultivation speed was unprecedented in the God Defying World. As such, there was a possibility that he would become one of the strongest supreme powerhouses in the future.

'The Xia clan's supreme powerhouse said that the few strongest supreme powerhouses in the Myriad Worlds might be able to rescue Ke'er. However, even if the strongest supreme powerhouse in our God Defying World asks for help, it's unlikely for them to help me…'

With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian's eyes shone with determination. He had to leave Crimson Demon Ridge no matter what.

"It's fine if you want to leave," the Crimson Demon said with a smile as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian's eyes lit up upon hearing these words.

On the other hand, Wu Cang, who was still kneeling with his head lowered, widened his eyes in disbelief. It was impossible for the Crimson Demon to let such a monstrous prodigy go. After all, such a prodigy would become the Crimson Demon's strongest subordinate.

Similarly, the Centurions looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces as well.

"Since when did Lord Crimson Demon become so kind?"

"Is the lord letting him go due to his monstrous talent?"

"Are you joking? You think the lord is going to let him go due to his talent?"

The Centurions also had a high status in Crimson Demon Ridge. As such, they were familiar with the Crimson Demon as well. They knew he was powerful and overbearing. Those who trespassed into the Crimson Demon Ridge were either killed or forced to become his puppets. It was only natural that they did not believe it when it seemed like he was willing to let Duan Ling Tian, an immensely talented intermediate Supreme God, leave Crimson Demon Ridge.

"Thank you, senior!" Duan Ling Tian said. He did not expect the Crimson Demon to be so amenable. Nonetheless, he knew that it would not be without conditions. It did not matter to him as long as he could leave this place.

The Crimson Demon said indifferently, "It's too early for you to thank me. You may leave if you're able to fulfill a condition of mine. Otherwise, you'll have to stay and become my subordinate."

Duan Ling Tian's expression turned solemn upon hearing these words. It was just as he had expected; there was a condition.

Wu Cang and the Centurions knew that it was impossible for the Crimson Demon to let Duan Ling Tian go. As such, the condition had to be something impossible. However, they had no idea why the Crimson Demon would give Duan Ling Tian false hope.

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before he asked, "Senior Crimson Devil, if I fulfill the condition, you'll let me leave Crimson Demon Ridge, and I won't have to become your subordinate?"

"Yes." The Crimson Demon nodded.

"You won't go back on your words, will you?" Duan Ling Tian asked after mustering up his courage. His life was already on the line anyway. Moreover, he did not think his question was offensive.

"I naturally won't go back on my words," the Crimson Demon said nonchalantly.

"Then, may I know what's the condition?" Duan Ling Tian asked after inhaling deeply. No matter what the condition was, he had no choice but to accept it. Nothing mattered as long as he could leave Crimson Demon Ridge safely.

Meanwhile, Wu Cang and the Centurions held their breaths as they waited for the Crimson Demon to state his condition. They were also curious about the kind of condition the mighty supreme powerhouse came up with for Duan Ling Tian even if they knew the condition was something that was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to fulfill.
