4504 “Greetings, Lord Xiao. I’m Duan Ling Tian.”



Xiao Mu Bai said with a faint smile, "What a surprise! I didn't expect the Dark Night Demi Saint to have heard of me."

'He's one of the Lords of the God Defying World?'

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who was standing next to Duan You Wei, looked at Xiao Mu Bai silently. He had never seen Xiao Mu Bai before, but he found Xiao Mu Bai's voice familiar. However, he could not recall where he had heard Xiao Mu Bai's voice before.

Duan Ling Tian naturally knew nothing about the Lords of the God Defying World before this. He had never even met one before until now. Apart from that, he also just learned from Duan You Wei earlier that the Lords of the God Defying World; one of the 18 Middle Worlds, were all imminent World supreme powerhouses.

As for the World supreme powerhouse of the God Defying World, he or she did not deal with the affairs of the God Defying World. Instead, he or she only focused on getting stronger. After all, in the end, the stability and the survival of the God Defying World depended on the World supreme powerhouse.

For example, the Lower Worlds could only resign themselves to being subjugated by the Three Upper Worlds and the 18 Middle Worlds because they did not have strong powerhouses to protect them. There were cases where the World energy of a very weak Lower World was forcefully absorbed by a supreme powerhouse. Needless to say, after the World energy was absorbed, the World would fall apart, taking with it countless lives.

Duan Ling Tian had heard of World energy before, but he did not know much about it. Thus, when Duan You Wei mentioned it, he quickly asked her about it.

World energy could be extracted to strengthen another World, and it could also be used by supreme powerhouses to comprehend the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. In short, World Energy was very useful.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian looked at Duan You Wei and wondered inwardly, "It seems like Sister Wei has heard of him…'

Duan You Wei regained her composure at this time. Her expression was a little complicated as she said, "Is there anyone in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad World who hasn't heard of the name 'Xiao Mu Bai'? You're invincible among those at and below the fourth level. You were challenged by many level-four supreme powerhouses in the Three Upper Worlds, but you defeated all of them without fail. The only person who was known to have such strength was the late Sword of Time, Zhuge Wen Dao. No matter how powerful level-four supreme powerhouses were, it was difficult for them to thoroughly defeat each other. Both you and the Sword of Time are the only exceptions…"

Duan You Wei looked at Xiao Mu Bai with a hint of wariness after she finished speaking. Clearly, she did not expect Xiao Mu Bai to have become a level-five supreme powerhouse, an imminent World supreme powerhouse. This meant that Xiao Mu Bai was no longer weaker than her. In fact, it was likely that he was now stronger than her. After all, before becoming an imminent World supreme powerhouse or a demi Saint, Xiao Mu Bai was widely acknowledged as the invincible level-four supreme powerhouse in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds.

Naturally, not many people, except for supreme powerhouses, knew about this matter. It was only natural that Duan Ling Tian only learned about it now.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Xiao Mu Bai, surprised. He did not expect there to be such a terrifying figure in the God Defying World.

'How amazing! He was invincible among those below the fifth level when he was a level-four supreme powerhouse? Moreover, he was acknowledged by both the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds…'

As for Zhuge Wen Dao, Duan Ling Tian had heard about the Sword of Time a few times before; he knew the Sword of Time was a legendary figure in the God Defying World. Most importantly, Zhuge Wen Dao comprehended the Sword Dao to the seventh stage. In the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds, there was no known person, including World supreme powerhouses, who had comprehended the Sword Dao to the seventh stage. In fact, even Duan Ling Tian's comprehension Sword Dao could be considered among the best in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad World, let alone the Sword of Time's Sword Dao.

It was truly a pity that Zhuge Wen Dao died before he became a World supreme powerhouse. There were many versions of stories regarding his death.

Some people said that a World supreme powerhouse feared Zhuge Wen Dao's potential and decided to nip him in the bud.

There were also people who said that he suffered a devastating blow in his love life, causing him to lose his mind and take his own life.

There were also those who thought that he went crazy comprehending the Sword Dao and ended up killing himself.

Among all these stories, Duan Ling Tian thought that the most credible one was the one where a World supreme powerhouse killed Zhuge Wen Dao. After all, in the past, many people speculated that as soon as Zhuge Wen Dao became a World supreme powerhouse, he would definitely be among the strongest World supreme powerhouse. Such a person would naturally attract jealousy and envy. It was not impossible for a World supreme powerhouse to kill Zhuge Wen Dao for that reason.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian's thoughts drifted in another direction.

'I wonder if master's Sword Dao has reached the seventh stage?'

Although Feng Qing Yang's cultivation base was below that of Duan Ling Tian, his Sword Dao had always been superior to that of Duan Ling Tian. When Duan Ling Tian's Sword Dao reached the fourth stage, his Sword Dao was already at the sixth stage.

However, in the past, Duan Ling Tian did not know much about the stages of the Sword Dao. Nonetheless, he was certain that his master's Sword Dao at that time was not any weaker than his current Sword Dao.

"In any case, it's an honor that you remember my name," Xiao Mu Bai said with a slight smile, "May I ask what business you have here in the God Defying World? Do you need my help? If so, please let me know."

There was no doubt that Xiao Mu Bai was a very hospitable host.

At this time, the three supreme powerhouses looked rather proud after they heard Duan You Wei's praise for Xiao Mu Bai. How could they not feel proud when one of their Lords was famous not only in the Myriad Worlds, but also in the Outer Boundary?

Duan You Wei glanced at Duan Ling Tian, who was next to her, before she said, "I came to see my younger brother's wife. He's originally from the God Defying World. His wife's soul has been imprisoned by a member of the Soul Imprisonment Clan so I came to have a look to see if I can help. Lord Xiao, it'll naturally be great if you can come with us. After all, I'm not confident I'll be able to break the soul imprisonment technique."

Faced with Xiao Mu Bai, Duan You Wei had lost her arrogance when she faced the three supreme powerhouses who guarded the God Defying World's gateway earlier. She had become much more polite.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian took a step forward and bowed slightly to Xiao Mu Bai, one of the people standing at the peak of the God Defying World, as he said, "Greetings, Lord Xiao. I'm Duan Ling Tian."

"Duan Ling Tian?!"

Apart from Xiao Mu Bai who remained calm as though he had already known this, the three supreme powerhouses' eyes widened in shock.

'This purple-clad young man is Duan Ling Tian? The Duan Ling Tian who obtained a large amount of liquid from the divine fountain?!'

Following that, the three supreme powerhouses shifted their eyes to Xiao Mu Bai in unison. Back then, it was this person who put up the liquid from the divine fountain as a reward. They knew that Duan Ling Tian obtained the reward relying on his strength; he did not have any connection to the person before them. At that time, they could not help but feel envious. After all, it was the liquid from the divine fountain.
