Previously, Duan Ling Tian did not even think of the possibility of stabilizing his cultivation realm in the realm of an advanced Lord of Gods in just half a year until he came to the Trial of Gods.

‘Three years in the Trial of Gods is too short…’ Duan Ling Tian lamented inwardly.

As Duan Ling Tian traveled to the Divine Spirit Mansion’s city, he would catch hunters and force them to lead him to their respective bases. Similar to before, not only would he spare the lives of those who led him to the bases, but he would also reward them accordingly. After all, in the end, he was the one who benefited the most.

‘It seems like there’s no need for me to go to the Mansion’s city so soon…’ Duan Ling Tian mused inwardly.

After leaving the vicinity of Wu You City, there were not many empty bases. Within a few days, he had already killed two rudimentary Emperors of Gods and seven advanced Lords of Gods.

!!

‘I’m getting closer and close to becoming an Emperor of Gods…’

Duan Ling Tian was so enthralled with the Trial of Gods that he wished he could stay until he became a Supreme God.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian had already captured another hunter that had been stalking him.

The other party was an advanced Lord of Gods. It had to be said that Duan Ling Tian rarely encountered advanced Lord of Gods out of their bases. In any case, the other party was not frightened when he sensed that Duan Ling Tian was an advanced Lord of Gods. Alas, it did not take long for his view to change when Duan Ling Tian easily subdued him with just a strike.

“My lord, we’re here…”

Similar to Du Huan, the hunter thought that Duan Ling Tian had a group of anti-hunters behind him. He had expected Duan Ling Tian’s companions to show up when he led Duan Ling Tian to his team’s base. However, to his shock, Duan Ling Tian entered the base alone.

‘Does he have a death wish?’

Soon, the hunter, an advanced Lord of Gods, was dumbfounded when he saw Duan Ling Tian killing two vice leaders, who were rudimentary Emperors of Gods, with just a strike of his sword. He did not witness this with his own eyes, he would never believe an advanced Lord of Gods could kill rudimentary Emperors of Gods so easily.

At this time, a burly middle-aged man who was about two meters tall roared, “Are you seeking death?!”

The burly man’s aura was much stronger than those of the two rudimentary Emperors of Gods whom Duan Ling Tian just killed.

‘Intermediate Emperor of Gods?’ Duan Ling Tian was not intimidated at all by this discovery. On the contrary, he was rather ecstatic that he finally encountered an intermediate Emperor of Gods.

Based on what he had learned so far, Duan Ling Tian knew the intermediate Emperors of Gods in this area were only ordinary. Nonetheless, he was not complacent or careless. He brought his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword out for the first time since he came to the Trial of Gods. Although the burly man only possessed a prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul, he would still be at a disadvantage if he did not bring out his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, “A prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul?!”

In just a moment, the shock and disbelief in the middle-aged man’s eyes were replaced by greed.

“Your prominent divine artifact is mine!”

The middle-aged man’s Divine Energy surged forth toward Duan Ling Tian like a flood. It was obvious that he had comprehended the law of water.

Meanwhile, the advanced Lord of Gods, who led Duan Ling Tian here, was shocked as well. He did not even possess a prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul, let alone one with a complete artifact soul. Nonetheless, he still knew how precious and rare a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul was. In fact, it was already rare for advanced Emperors of Gods to possess one, let alone those below the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods. How could he not be shocked that an advanced Lord of Gods like Duan Ling Tian possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul?

‘Sword Dao, Mastery Dao!’

Duan Ling Tian did not hold back and attacked with all his might even though his opponent was just an ordinary intermediate Emperor of Gods.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian frowned. His attack had destroyed the burly middle-aged man’s attack and severed one of the burly middle-aged man’s arms before the middle-aged man avoided the remaining attacks in the nick of time. Due to the middle-aged man’s timely movement, the middle-aged man managed to avoid death.

At the same time, the middle-aged man’s face turned ashen. ‘How’s that possible? How can an advanced Lord of Gods possess such strength?’

At this time, the middle-aged man could already sense how strong Duan Ling Tian was through Duan Ling Tian’s law of space and Sword Dao.

‘I need to run now!’

The middle-aged man completely lost all courage to face Duan Ling Tian at this moment. He knew he was no match for Duan Ling Tian. He was certain that there was no advanced Lord of Gods like Duan Ling Tian in the Divine Kingdom, let alone the Divine Spirit Mansion. In fact, there might not be an advanced Lord of Gods like Duan Ling Tian in the entire Southern Heaven Continent.

‘Double Teleportation Profundity!’

Seeing that the middle-aged man had fled, Duan Ling Tian teleported twice consecutively before blocking the middle-aged man’s path. Following that, his sword shot out of the spatial storm that raged around him toward the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was further horrified when he realized Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity. Although he had realized earlier that Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the law of space was incredibly profound, he still did not expect Duan Ling Tian to have comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity. Like many others, he assumed that one had to be at least an advanced Emperor of Gods to comprehend the Double Teleportation Profundity.

“No!”

The middle-aged man had yet to react when his Divine Energy was destroyed. Only his harrowing cry echoed in the air following his death.

Subsequently, a huge beam of light shone down from the sky on Duan Ling Tian. At the same time, his Divine Energy surged through his veins as his mind gained unprecedented clarity.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

With just a thought, countless sword rays shot toward the remaining hunters in the team, who had just regained their senses. They tried to flee, but all of them were killed without exception.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the advanced Lord of Gods who led him here.

The expression of the advanced Lord of Gods changed drastically. He quickly pleaded, “M-my lord, please spare me! I… I’ve been highly cooperative! Please spare my life!”

Duan Ling Tian did not intend to kill the advanced Lord of Gods. Perhaps, if he was in the real world, he would kill such a person who betrayed his team. However, the people in the Trial of Gods were just illusions. As such, he did not strictly adhere to his principles. Moreover, he would not have been greatly rewarded this time if it were not for this advanced Lord of Gods.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian glanced at the advanced Lord of Gods one last time before he teleported and vanished into thin air.

Upon seeing this, the advanced Lord of Gods heaved a sigh of relief. His expression was complicated as he looked at the base that flowed with rivers of blood.

“I-is he really just an advanced Lord of Gods? How could he have killed an intermediate Emperor of Gods so effortlessly?”

The advanced Lord of Gods felt as though he had cultivated in vain. He was also an advanced Lord of Gods, but an intermediate Emperor of Gods could have killed him with just a flick of a finger. On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian, who was also an advanced Lord of Gods, killed an intermediate Emperor of Gods with such ease.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who was unaware of the thoughts of the advanced Lord of Gods whom he had just spared, was searching for a remote place to process the energy that he had been rewarded with from killing an intermediate Emperor of Gods.

‘What a generous reward. It’s much more compared to the collective rewards I received from killing those two rudimentary Emperors of Gods. It seems like the rewards increase tremendously when I kill those who are two levels higher than mine!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes lit up.

‘I think the energy I received this time is sufficient to help me become an Emperor of Gods… I’m going to try to break through now…’

At the same time, in another part of the Trial of Gods.

The pungent smell of blood permeated the air.

‘Third Senior Brother said that apart from the students, everything in here is an illusion conjured up by the supreme powerhouses. As such, there’s no need for me to hold back. This is a great chance for me to become a Supreme God. I can protect junior brother better once I become a Supreme God!’

A young woman emerged from a thick fog like a demon from hell, leaving a huge city that was covered in blood.

As the young woman left, the crowd looked at her fearfully. All of them were greatly relieved that they survived the bloody massacre.

“She’s finally gone! I was so afraid that she’d kill me!”

“She’s terrifying! Our lord is still in closed-door cultivation, and she killed nearly all of our advanced Emperors of Gods…”

“How could an advanced Emperor of Gods be so strong?!”

“Thank goodness she didn’t attack us!”

“She only killed advanced Emperors of Gods. She did not kill intermediate Emperors of Gods unless they provoked her. It’s clear she was killing for the rewards.”

“She might die if she continues to break the rules…”

“I heard that someone is going to alert our lord soon. When our lord awakens, she won’t be able to get away with it!”
