4391 Escape Plan

Faced with the enthusiastic people in front of him, Duan Ling Tian responded with a smile and a nod. He had no enmity with these people. Since they took the initiative to greet him, he would not ignore them. At the same time, he also felt a little sad and emotional for them. If he successfully escaped, it would be fine. Otherwise, his outcome would be no different from theirs.

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian did not waste time and flew into the secret realm.

'I'll have to depend on the Divine Tree of Life, Sister Water, and the others…'

Although Duan Ling Tian also had a part to play in the escape plan, the main stars were the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements. The Divine Tree of Life had the most important role since their plan was to target the Divine Tree of Life in the Crimson Demon's Little World.

Duan Ling Tian and the Five Divine Elements would assist the Divine Tree of Life in his body in his plan to escape from the Crimson Demon's Little World under the nose of the Crimson Demon.

When Duan Ling Tian was still an intermediate Supreme God, the World Cleansing Divine Water told him that he only had a 50% chance of succeeding. Now that he became an advanced Supreme God, his chances of success had increased greatly. However, he was not particularly joyful. After all, no matter how high the chances were, even if it were a 99% chance of success, there was still a chance of failure unless there was a 100% guarantee that he would succeed.

'I'm in…'

After entering the secret realm, Duan Ling Tian found himself in the sky above the sea. The sea was boundless with no end in sight. Just like before, he had to determine the correct direction to the heart of the secret realm.

The rules were the same every time the prodigies entered the secret realm. They would be sent to the periphery of a huge circle before they had to find their way to the center of the circle. Once they arrived at their destination, they would be able to leave the secret realm.

Unlike the rules that remained the same, the environment in the secret realm would change every time. The prodigies would also be sent to a different place. For example, Duan Ling Tian was sent to a forest previously, but now, he was above the sea.

Duan Ling Tian hovered in the sky as he surveyed his surroundings to find the right direction to the heart of the secret realm. The sea was calm, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Sister Water, what do I need to do to cooperate with you and Senior Wood Spirit?" Duan Ling Tian consulted the World Cleansing Divine Water.

"For now, you only need to find the direction to the heart of the secret realm and make your way there… While you go through the challenges, Wood Spirit will look for the Divine Tree of Life in the Crimson Demon's Little World. After Wood Spirit locates the tree, we'll channel our energy to Wood Spirit to help it temporarily control the Crimson Demon's Divine Tree of Life. Under normal circumstances, Divine Trees of Life in the Little Worlds of supreme powerhouses are usually in a deep state of slumber. As such, Wood Spirit will have a chance to take control of it briefly. Needless to say, the stronger Wood Spirit is, the easier and faster it'll be for it to control the other party…"

Previously, the World Cleansing Divine Water did not reveal the details of the plan to Duan Ling Tian. As such, he only found out now that Wood Spirit planned to temporarily control the Divine Tree of Life in the Crimson Demon's Little World. If the plan succeeded, he would be able to leave the Crimson Demon's Little World and possibly also escape the clutches of the Crimson Demon.

Things would not have been so easy if the Crimson Demon's Little World was placed in his body. Fortunately, the Crimson Demon's Little World was now placed in the Crimson Demon Ridge. As such, if Wood Spirit managed to control his Divine Tree of Life briefly, Duan Ling Tian would be able to escape his notice and leave.

"Sister Water, please let me know if you need my help," Duan Ling Tian said, sounding anxious. It was only natural since his freedom and survival hinged on the success of this plan. He would either die or be possessed if he stayed here. Even without the threat of death, the Crimson Demon's Little World was not optimal for cultivation. He had discovered this when he cultivated diligently over the past few decades.

Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel anxious again when he thought about what would happen if their plan failed. If the Crimson Demon was alerted and he was discovered before he could escape, he would either be killed immediately or placed on close watch until the Crimson Demon decided on who to possess.

Duan Ling Took a deep breath to calm down before he focused on the job at hand.

'I have to find the way to the heart of the secret realm…'

Previously, Duan Ling Tian found a clue in a tree that stood out from the rest in a forest. However, this time, after looking around for a while, he still could not find anything. The sea was calm and seemed to be devoid of life.

'I'll try looking in the sea… Perhaps, the clue that'll point me in the right direction is there…'

Duan Ling Tian continued to search for clues.

15 minutes passed, half an hour passed, but Duan Ling Tian still did not find anything.

It was not until about two hours had passed when Duan Ling Tian finally found something with his Divine Consciousness in the sea. If he had not been concentrating, he would not have detected the slight fluctuations, which was an abnormality.

'This way…'

After confirming it, Duan Ling Tian flew in the direction the clue pointed him to.

After flying for 15 minutes, Duan Ling Tian finally encountered the first test.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of thunderous sounds rang in the air as the calm surface of the sea was disturbed. In just a moment, huge figures shot out of the sea; they were all terrifyingly powerful demons.

These demons were in all kinds of shapes. Some resembled birds, some were like wild beasts, and some were like snakes. The only thing they had in common was their bloodthirsty red eyes and that they were all black and covered with sharp scales.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

About twenty demons stared at Duan Ling Tian after coming out of the sea. Without another word, they rushed toward him in a frenzy as though he was their arch-enemy.

Duan Ling Tian had just brought his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword out and was prepared to strike when the World Cleansing Divine Water suddenly said, "There's no need for you to attack. Let Wood Spirit deal with them…"

Duan Ling Tian stopped moving as soon as the World Cleansing Divine Water. Then, in the next moment, he saw a shocking scene…
