Chapter 4365 - 4365 Crimson Demon, the Supreme Powerhouse

4365 Crimson Demon, the Supreme Powerhouse

The long saber, including the handle, was about five feet long, and its entire body was dark blue. It was hard to tell what it was forged from, but it looked ordinary. However, the lightning bolts in the surroundings rushed into the seemingly ordinary and unadorned saber, it exuded an oppressive aura that was nothing like the aura of a prominent divine artifact.

The aura not only made Duan Ling Tian feel slightly suffocated, but it also made his soul feel a sense of oppression. It was as though the aura contained some terrifying power.

‘Prime divine artifacts are the weapons of supreme powerhouses… Even in the hands of advanced Supreme Gods, they’re still terrifyingly powerful…’

Back in the God Defying World, Duan Ling Tian had heard about the horrifying powers of prime divine artifacts many times. He naturally knew that prime divine artifacts were peerless weapons. However, possessing a peerless weapon did not make one peerless. Nonetheless, between two people with equal strength, the person in possession of a prime divine artifact could easily crush the other person.

‘He’s the personal demon guard of the owner of Crimson Demon Ridge, a powerful supreme powerhouse. He even brought out his prime divine artifact. He’s clearly determined to stop me from leaving. I’m no match for a supreme powerhouse at all. I have to leave this place as soon as possible. Even if he has a prime divine artifact, I won’t let him stop me from leaving!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his gaze turned icy.

Even if the other party was a top advanced Supreme God, had comprehended the law to the perfect form, and possessed a prime divine artifact, Duan Ling Tian was determined not to let the other party stop him.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian attacked as well. Seven-colored sword rays shone brilliantly as he cast his Sword Dao and his law of space without holding back. At the same time, his doppelganger from the law of space appeared as well.

“I just want to leave,” Duan Ling Tian said tonelessly as he strode in the air with large steps. He waved his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in his hand, and the beautiful and magnificent seven-colored sword rays fell from the nine heavens.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger from the law of space charged toward the opponent.

“Come at me!”

The giant’s eyes brightened when he saw Duan Ling Tian attacking. He had been waiting for this moment after he prevented Duan Ling Tian from leaving. He wanted to see how strong the seemingly peerless prodigy among intermediate Supreme Gods in front of him was.

When the saber rays and the sword rays collided, the giant was shocked, and he did not recover his senses for a long time. From the collision, he discovered that even if he had comprehended the law of thunder to the perfect form and possessed the prime divine artifact, he did not have the upper hand at all when faced with the intermediate Supreme God in front of him.

Although Duan Ling Tian was just an intermediate Supreme God, his comprehension of the law of space was close to the perfect form. Moreover, his prominent divine artifact had fused with multiple fragments of prime divine artifacts.

Duan Ling Tian was clearly inferior to the giant in every aspect such as cultivation base, comprehension of the law, and weapons. How could the giant not be shocked when he discovered that Duan Ling Tian was able to fight on even ground with him just by relying on his law of space’s doppelganger and Sword Dao? For a moment, he wondered if Duan Ling Tian was truly just an intermediate Supreme God.

‘If he’s an advanced Supreme God or close to becoming an advanced Supreme God, even if I use my bloodline power, I’m afraid I still won’t be a match for him…’ the giant thought to himself. He felt fortunate that Duan Ling Tian was indeed just an intermediate Supreme God. Following that, just as he was about to use his bloodline power, his expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, “How’s this possible?!”

Duan Ling Tian, who was on par with the giant, suddenly surged with power and fought the giant off. When he retreated, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in his hand seemed to change as he cast the law.

A sword ray shot out into the air, causing the surroundings to freeze for a moment.

In the next moment, the giant saw the purple-clad Duan Ling Tian moving at lightning speed toward the border of Crimson Demon Ridge, clearly intending to leave.

“The law of time! His law of time is actually stronger than his law of space!”

Duan Ling Tian had caught the giant off guard by using his law of time to restrain the giant. The giant could only watch as Duan Ling Tian fled from Crimson Demon Ridge.

“It’s useless…”

The giant knew that he would not be able to catch up to Duan Ling Tian now. However, strangely, the corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

In the next moment, just as Duan Ling Tian was about to leave Crimson Demon Ridge, a solid crystal barrier rose up, blocking his way.

At this moment, the giant also regained his mobility, finally getting rid of the restriction from the law of time. Then, he quickly caught up to Duan Ling Tian, who was trying to break the barrier but was unable to do so in a short time.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression was extremely dark at this moment. The Formation that the giant activated in Crimson Demon Ridge was extremely powerful. Clearly, the two Centurions he encountered before were unable to activate this Formation. Otherwise, the duo would have activated it long ago to stop him.

‘What a monstrous prodigy…’ the giant thought to himself as he stared at Duan Ling Tian’s back in shock and disbelief.

Duan Ling Tian was just an intermediate Supreme God, but his law of space was close to the perfect form. Most shockingly, his law of time was even closer to the perfect form. It seemed like it was on the verge of achieving the perfect form.

Once again, the giant wondered if Duan Ling Tian was just an intermediate Supreme God.

Meanwhile, the Centurions of Crimson Demon Ridge, who had arrived a while ago and witnessed Duan Ling Tian fighting on even ground with the giant, wore horrified expressions on their faces when they saw Duan Ling Tian changing his law to restrain the giant.

“This intermediate Supreme God… is too strong, right?”

“If he had attacked with all his might earlier, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to last one breath!”

“He’s too strong! His vital energy is incredibly strong as well! It seems like he’s not very old. Where did such a prodigy come from? Why did he come to our Crimson Demon Ridge?”

“It won’t be easy for such a prodigy to leave after coming here. At the very least, Lord Wu Cang won’t just watch him leave…”

“That’s only natural… Didn’t you see Lord Wu Cang using the highest authority he was granted to activate the Formation barrier? The barrier is strong enough to stop everyone under the realm of supreme powerhouses. As long as he’s not a supreme powerhouse, the Formation will be able to keep him here until Lord Crimson Demon arrives!”

“Lord Crimson Demon should’ve sensed the attacks on the barrier by now. I think he should arrive soon, right?”

“Once Lord Crimson Demon arrives, he’ll be at the end of his rope!”

A hint of pity could be seen on the Centurions’ faces when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was a pity that such a monstrous prodigy would become the puppet of the Crimson Demon in Crimson Demon Ridge just like them. Once he became a puppet, his soul would be bound. In order to break the binding, he had to be a supreme powerhouse. Alas, the binding restricted one from becoming a supreme powerhouse.

At this moment, the expression of Duan Ling Tian, who was still attacking the barrier, changed when he overheard the Centurions’ conversation.

‘Attacking the barrier will alert the supreme powerhouse of the Crimson Demon Ridge?!’

Suddenly, Wu Cang, the gigantic personal demon guard of the Crimson Demon Ridge’s supreme powerhouse who had been chasing Duan Ling Tian, suddenly bowed respectfully and said, “Welcome, Lord Crimson Demon!”

In the next moment, blood-red light flashed before a figure appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian and the others. The figure belonged to a burly young man who was about 1.80 meters dressed in blood-red armor. He had an extraordinarily handsome face and looked somewhat harmless if not for the sinister smile on his face.

Following Wu Cang, the Centurions of Crimson Demon Ridge present on the scene quickly bowed and greeted the young man dressed in blood-red armor. However, unlike Wu Cang who looked at the young man, all of them lowered their heads, unable to meet the young man’s gaze.

“An intermediate Supreme God?” the young man dressed in blood-red armor murmured to himself, ignoring the others who greeted him respectfully. He stared at Duan Ling Tian with narrowed eyes as though he was sensing something. After a few breaths passed, a surprised expression and a smile appeared on his face. A hint of excitement could also be seen in the depths of his eyes.

‘This intermediate Supreme God actually comprehended the law of time and the law of space to such an extent!’ the young man thought to himself as his eyes flashed, inwardly surprised, ‘Wu Cang even had to use the Formation I created to stop him from leaving! It’s really hard to believe that he’s just an intermediate Supreme God!’

At this time, Duan Ling Tian returned to his senses and looked at the young man who commanded such respect from Wu Cang before he cupped his fists together slightly and said, “Senior Crimson Demon, I have no intention of trespassing into Crimson Demon Ridge. I came here by accident, and I was planning to leave immediately. Senior Crimson Demon, I hope you’ll allow me to leave.”

Based on the words of the Centurions, Duan Ling Tian could tell the supreme powerhouse in front of him was not a kind person, but he still hoped to reason with the other party. After all, faced with a supreme powerhouse, even if he went all out, he was no different from an insignificant ant. Under such circumstances, he could use other means to leave.

Duan Ling Tian knew that if he became the puppet of the Crimson Demon, his path to becoming a supreme powerhouse would come to an end. To him, that was not different from dying.

The Crimson Demon ignored Duan Ling Tian. Instead, he glanced at Wu Cang and said indifferently, “Useless trash! You can’t even stop an intermediate Supreme God and had to activate the Formation using the highest authority I granted you before being able to stop him from leaving.”

“My lord, please calm down!”

After hearing the young man’s words, the expression of Wu Cang, who was domineering previously, changed drastically. He hastily kneeled in the air and kowtowed. His entire body trembled as he said, “It’s my incompetence that gave him a chance to escape! Please forgive me, my lord!”

Wu Cang felt extremely regretful at this moment. He should have used his bloodline power immediately to overwhelm his opponent earlier. At that time, the opponent would not have a chance to change his law and catch him off guard.
