4368 A True Monster

"Trying to deceive you?" Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly upon hearing Wu Cang's words. He fused the law of time with his Divine Energy before he sent it out. The tip of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword flashed as he brandished it and charged toward Wu Cang along with his doppelgangers from the law of time and the law of space. The three of them surrounded Wu Cang in three different directions.

Upon seeing this, Wu Cang scoffed. "How unnecessary! Boy, do you think I'd need to run away from you? I'll let you have a taste of what it's like when I unleash my full power!"

Wu Cang made a move as soon as his voice fell and lightning flashed in the sky. A terrifying saber ray shot out amidst the lightning bolts toward Duan Ling Tian. At this moment, with the lightning flashing around him brilliantly, he looked like a thunder god who had descended from heaven.

Upon seeing this, the Centurions looked at Wu Cang in awe.

"So this is the extent of Lord Cang's strength!"

"This intermediate Supreme God has underestimated Lord Cang!"

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was fast approaching the domineering Wu Cang. He had opened his Little World, informing the Five Divine Elements that he planned to borrow the Divine Tree of Life and their powers. He waved his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, sending it out. He knew he would not be able to perfectly integrate the energy from the Five Divine Elements and the Divine Tree of Life with his Divine Energy. Nonetheless, they would still be able to assist him without conflicting with Divine Energy.

'I really have no choice…'

Duan Ling Tian was aware of the risks of exposing the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements, but he truly had no choice at this moment. Fortunately, it would not be easy for another person to snatch the Divine Tree of Life from him. Apart from that, his Five Divine Elements were not in any life-threatening danger as long as his opponent did not possess any Five Divine Elements at the same or a higher level than his. His life was now in the hands of the supreme powerhouse who was capable of killing him as easily as strangling a chicken. If he did not take this risk, the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements would also be eventually discovered by the supreme powerhouse if the supreme powerhouse killed him.

"Die!"

Duan Ling Tian attacked with the powers of the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements. His eyes shone with killing intent as he attacked. He was forced into this life-or-death battle simply because he accidentally trespassed into Crimson Demon Ridge. He did not even provoke anyone. Although he was insignificant in front of a supreme powerhouse, he was not afraid of facing an advanced Supreme God.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two doppelgangers followed suit and attacked. Although they were inferior to Duan Ling Tian, coupled with the powers of the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements, they were able to raise his strength significantly.

After exchanging a few blows, Duan Ling Tian managed to gain the upper hand.

'The Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements?!'

Although the Crimson Demon knew that Duan Ling Tian still had hidden means, he was still shocked when he saw the different external energies that surged out when Duan Ling Tian attacked. In the Outer Boundary, it was not uncommon for a person of such caliber to possess a Divine Tree of Life, and it was also not uncommon for them to possess one Divine Element. However, it was unheard of for someone to possess all Five Divine Elements. There were some people who possessed more than one Divine Element, forcing the Divine Elements to co-exist. However, these people all came to a bad end and died prematurely. He had never heard of any Supreme Gods in the Myriad Worlds who possessed more than two of the Five Divine Elements. Rumor had it that it had something to do with a curse from the Five Divine Elements to prevent supreme powerhouses from controlling more than two of the Five Divine Elements. How could he not be shocked now that he encountered an intermediate Supreme God who easily mobilized the powers of all Five Divine Elements?

'The Five Divine Elements are all arrogant to their bones. Perhaps, they might compromise and agree to co-exist in the same host when they're weak, but it's inevitable that they would rebel once they became strong! After all, they can search for other powerful and even more suitable hosts in the Myriad Worlds…'

The Crimson Demon was rather knowledgeable about the Five Divine Elements. He had a close friend who became a supreme powerhouse through one of the Five Divine Elements.

'All of his Five Divine Elements are at a high level, but they're willing to follow him and co-exist peacefully… This means that they acknowledge him! What a monster!' the Crimson Demon exclaimed inwardly. At the same time, he was also delighted. He did not expect to encounter such a monstrous prodigy. He was a true monster!

'I've not heard of anyone in the realm of Supreme Gods in the Myriad Worlds who possesses more than two Divine Elements in this generation! However, it's not unprecedented in the Myriad Worlds. Those people were acknowledged by the Divine Elements because the Divine Elements felt like there was no one stronger than their hosts…'

Indeed, Duan Ling Tian was one of a kind in the Myriad Worlds. He was a true monster who was acknowledged by all Five Divine Elements.

'It's my lucky day! Perhaps, he might be able to make my dream come true!'

The Crimson Demon's eyes shone with anticipation as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

Meanwhile, although the Centurions agreed that Duan Ling Tian was extraordinary, none of them thought Duan Ling Tian was a match for Wu Cang. Perhaps, he would be able to fight to a draw with Wu Cang, but it was impossible for him to kill Wu Cang. Their expressions changed like the weather as the battle progressed.

Lightning bolts and sword rays clashed violently in the air.

When Wu Cang brandished and struck with his saber, it felt as though heaven and earth were going to split.

The Centurions inhaled sharply. They knew very well they would not be able to withstand even one strike from Wu Cang, but the purple-clad young man managed to block each and every strike from Wu Cang with his sword at lightning speed. They began to whisper fervently among themselves.

"I can't believe he has two doppelgangers!"

"Heavens! How did he become so strong?!"

"Did you notice yet? There are different energies lingering on his sword. They're obviously not his energies, but he's able to use them perfectly!"

"What kind of energy is that?"

"One of them is filled with vitality. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the vital energy from a Divine Tree of Life! That monster has a Divine Tree of Life in his Little World!"

"The Divine Tree of Life?! It's said that if one possesses a complete Divine Tree of Life and the tree takes root in one's Little World, one will definitely become a supreme powerhouse!"

"It's not a surprise that a monster like him possesses a Divine Tree of Life. I'm more curious about the other energy. It seemed like it belonged to a Divine Element, but something seems off…"

"What do you mean?"

"Instead of one kind of energy, it seemed more like five different kinds of energies from all Five Divine Elements. However, how's that possible? Let alone five, it's difficult enough for two Divine Elements to co-exist peacefully in a host's body. Moreover, I don't think I've heard of any Supreme God in the Myriad Worlds who possesses more than two Divine Elements!"

Meanwhile, Wu Cang was shocked. He truly did not expect Duan Ling Tian to have more hidden means. He thought to himself in disbelief, 'Impossible! How's he able to control the powers of all Five Divine Elements?!'

Unlike the Centurions, Wu Cang knew very well that the energies belonged to the Five Divine Elements. Moreover, he could also sense that the Five Divine Elements were all at high levels. He knew that the Five Divine Elements must have acknowledged Duan Ling Tian and felt that they could not find a stronger host than Duan Ling Tian. After living for tens of thousands of years, it was only natural that he was knowledgeable.

'He even possesses the Divine Tree of Life…'

Initially, Wu Cang could still fight equally with Duan Ling Tian. Alas, as the battle dragged on, he greatly exhausted his strength while Duan Ling Tian continued to recover his energy effortlessly with the help of the Divine Tree of Life. He knew he would not be able to keep up with Duan Ling Tian if the battle continued. Moreover, he was aware that Duan Ling Tian had yet to attack with all his might. After all, Duan Ling Tian's doppelgangers had yet to fully join forces with Duan Ling Tian. He knew without a doubt that he would die if the three of them joined forces.

'I can fight like this any longer! I should destroy his doppelgangers first! It'll affect him negatively, and I might even be able to kill him when he suffers the backlash from the destruction of his doppelgangers!'

With many years of combat experience, Wu Cang quickly came up with a new strategy. He did not carry out his plan immediately. Instead, he charged domineeringly toward Duan Ling Tian first.

Swoosh!

At this time, a saber ray descended from the sky and shot toward Duan Ling Tian.
