Chapter 4165: Duan Ling Tian Kills an Advanced Emperor of Gods With Just a Strike

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian was stunned. He had expected the crowd to be amazed to see a rudimentary Emperor of Gods challenging an advanced Emperor of Gods. Contrary to his expectations, everyone was convinced that he was hired by Cheng Yan. Consequently, the messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom even changed the rules. Both of them would be disqualified and lose the chance to become the interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Kingdom if they backed out of the life-or-death fight now.

Nonetheless, Duan Ling Tian was very calm when faced with Cheng Yan’s threats. Although Cheng Yang was rather strong, he was confident about beating Cheng Yan. He said expressionlessly, “If you think you can kill me, then make your move.”

Cheng Yan sneered. Then, his Divine Energy, which was imbued with the law, surged violently as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian. With every move, the void shook. He bellowed, “Since you have a death wish, I’m more than happy to fulfill your wish!”

Everyone shuddered inwardly as they watched Cheng Yan make his move.

“Lord Cheng Yan is really going to kill him!”

!!

“Based on the current situation, I don’t think he’s hired by Lord Cheng Yan to stall for time!”

“I agree. Otherwise, that purple-clad young man wouldn’t have said those words and would be begging for his life now.”

“Since he’s not hired by Lord Cheng Yan, where did he find the confidence to challenge Lord Cheng Yan?”

“Who knows? I really thought he had mistakenly teleported into the arena. It seems like that’s not the case. Anyway, he doesn’t seem afraid at all…”

“It would make sense if he were an intermediate Emperor of Gods since there would be a high chance that his strength was comparable to an advanced Emperor of Gods. However, he’s just a mere rudimentary Emperor of Gods!”

At the same time, the messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom was perplexed as well. He frowned as he thought to himself, “Was I wrong? Where did this rudimentary Emperor of Gods find the confidence to challenge an advanced Emperor of Gods?”

…

In the arena.

An earth-shattering sound rang in the air as Cheng Yan threw a punch with his bare fist at Duan Ling Tian. He did not even bother to bring out his prominent divine artifact. He felt that it would be embarrassing for him if he had used a prominent divine artifact to deal with a rudimentary Emperor of Gods.

Faced with Cheng Yan’s terrifying attack, Duan Ling Tian did not even move. He only said nonchalantly, “You made a fatal mistake not using your prominent divine artifact.” Then, he sighed lightly before he added, “If you’d used your prominent divine artifact, I wouldn’t be able to kill you with just a strike.”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian spoke, a spatial storm raged around him as a seven-colored sword ray shot out toward Cheng Yan.

Swoosh!

The sword whistled in the air as it tore through the air, looking as though it could destroy everything that stood in its way.

Although Duan Ling Tian had cast both the Mastery Dao and the Sword Dao, the crowd only sensed the Sword Dao. Only a Supreme God would be able to sense his Mastery Dao.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Yan exclaimed in disbelief, “Impossible!”

The seven-colored sword ray destroyed Cheng Yan’s attack before it suddenly multiplied and pierced him before he could attack again. After that, his body that was riddled with holes from the seven-colored sword rays was destroyed by the spatial storm that swept out.

When the commotion died down, only a mist of blood and a spatial ring could be seen.

Silence descended on the entire place.

When Duan Ling Tian claimed Cheng Yan’s spatial ring and put it away, everyone finally regained their senses and gasped in shock and disbelief. Their eyes were wide open as they stared at him incredulously as though he was a monster.

Even the experienced messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, along with his subordinates, was in shock and disbelief.

“H-he killed Cheng Yan?!”

“A rudimentary Emperor of Gods killed an advanced Emperor of Gods within a few seconds with just a strike?”

“He possesses a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul! That alone is enough to shock the entire Divine Kingdom! With it, none of the rudimentary Emperors of Gods in our Divine Kingdom is a match for him at all!”

“He comprehended the Sword Dao as well!”

“It’s not just that. His comprehension of the law of space is incredibly profound too! It’s difficult to find any rudimentary and intermediate Emperors of Gods in the Divine Kingdom who have the same level of comprehension of the law as him!”

“Heavens! I can’t believe I just witnessed a rudimentary Emperor of Gods killing an advanced Emperor of Gods! Who is he? Why is he so strong?”

“Let alone our Divine Kingdom, it’s impossible to find a rudimentary Emperor of Gods as terrifying as him in the entire Southern Heaven Continent, right?”

At the same time, Wang Chun just recovered from his shock. A few moments earlier, he had still been worried about Cheng Yan killing Duan Ling Tian. He really did not expect that Cheng Yan, the strong advanced Emperor of Gods, would die instead.

In the arena, Duan Ling Tian said calmly, “There’s still some time left. Is there anyone interested in challenging me?”

Since Duan Ling Tian had killed Cheng Yan so swiftly, there was still a little time left before the competition came to an end. Based on the time it took for him to kill Cheng Yan, he still had enough time to kill a dozen people like Cheng Yan.

The crowd shuddered upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words.

The advanced Emperors of Gods, who were defeated by Cheng Yan, were still looking at Duan Ling Tian incredulously. If they did not witness it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that a rudimentary Emperor of Gods was capable of killing an advanced Emperor of Gods.

Meanwhile, the people, who were discussing the purple-clad figure, suddenly realized they did not even know his name.

“I’ve never heard of or seen anything as absurd as this. To think that a rudimentary Emperor of Gods killed an advanced Emperor of Gods!”

“Let alone the Righteous Divine Kingdom, this young man will become famous in the Southern Heaven Continent!”

“Wait… Does anyone know his name?”

Soon after, a few of them recalled seeing Wang Chun with Duan Ling Tian earlier and turned to look at him.

“He should know that purple-clad young man’s name!”

“That’s right! I saw him with the purple-clad young man earlier.”

Wang Chun, who was inundated with questions from quite a few people, finally revealed Duan Ling Tian’s name after obtaining permission to do so from Duan Ling Tian. He said, “His name is Duan Ling Tian.”

Needless to say, everyone who heard Duan Ling Tian’s name remembered his name. After all, he was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods who killed an advanced Emperor of Gods. Even if Cheng Yan did not use his prominent divine artifact earlier, the feat was still extremely shocking. This feat was unprecedented in not only the Righteous Divine Kingdom, but the Southern Heaven Kingdom as well. They had just witnessed Duan Ling Tian make history.

At this time, the messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom finally spoke up. He said loudly, “I announce that Duan Ling Tian is the winner of the competition, and he’s now the interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion!”

With this, Duan Ling Tian finally achieved his goal.

Initially, the messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom planned to return to the capital after appointing the interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion. The interim Mansion Master was expected to travel to the capital on his or her own a month later. However, after witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s shocking strength, he changed his mind and decided to depart for the capital together with Duan Ling Tian. How could he be unable to tell that someone like Duan Ling Tian would soar to great heights in the future? With Duan Ling Tian’s capability, once Duan Ling Tian became an advanced Emperor of Gods, it would not be impossible for him to kill Supreme Gods as well. As such, how could he let go of such a good opportunity to befriend Duan Ling Tian? If he could befriend Duan Ling Tian, he would definitely benefit from it.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian was satisfied when he saw the messenger’s enthusiasm. After all, as the messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, the messenger definitely had high status in the Divine Kingdom and was definitely more knowledgeable than most people. It was likely that he could gain information about Destiny Canyon and the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms from the messenger.

During the journey back to the Divine Spirit Mansion’s city, the messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom walked next to Duan Ling Tian. He did not look down on Duan Ling Tian at all even though Duan Ling Tian was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. Although Cheng Yan did not use his prominent divine artifact earlier, it was not difficult to see that even if he did, it would not make a huge difference and the outcome would still be the same.

The messenger asked, “Brother Ling Tian, we’ll depart for the capital in a month. If you’re willing, the Lord will definitely officially appoint you as the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said truthfully, “Brother Yun He, I have no intention of becoming the official Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion. My goal is only to join the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms in Destiny Canyon.”
