War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
chapter-4146

In the Trial of Gods, according to the reward system, even if Duan Ling Tian did not deal the killing blow to an advanced Lord of Gods, as long as heavily injured the other party, he would also be rewarded. In fact, he would have a much bigger share of the reward compared to the person who dealt the killing blow. As such, it was not a loss for him to reward Du Huan with an advanced Lord of Gods.

However, the small share of reward for a rudimentary Lord of Gods was a big deal. It was not something they could obtain even if they killed ten rudimentary Lords of Gods.

‘I have to find a rudimentary Emperor of Gods…’ Du Huan thought to himself as his eyes shone.

Soon after, Du Huan led Duan Ling Tian and came to a stop quite a distance away from a huge valley. Then, he said, “My lord, the team I told you about that has two advanced Lords of Gods occupies this valley. If we go any closer, they’ll discover our presence.”

After thinking about it for a moment, Du Huan added, “My lord, why don’t you call your companions here for help now? At that time, I’ll follow from the back.”

Since Duan Ling Tian was an advanced Lord of Gods, in Du Huan’s opinion, it would be impossible for an advanced Lord of Gods to kill two advanced Lords of Gods in a go. In his opinion, it was only possible if Duan Ling Tian had help. If Duan Ling Tian was going in alone, he truly did not dare to follow Duan Ling Tian into the valley.

“Companions? Help? What help?” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.

Du Huan said seriously, “That’s right. Companions from your anti-hunter team!”

“Anti-hunter team? What’s that?” Duan Ling Tian frowned in confusion.

This time, Du Huan was confused as well.

‘This fellow doesn’t know what an anti-hunter team is? He’s not an anti-hunter? Is this a joke?’

In the next moment, Du Huan’s confusion was replaced by shock. He only saw Duan Ling Tian raise his hand before he was carried forward by a stream of energy toward the valley. His heart almost stopped beating at this moment, and he wondered if Duan Ling Tian was delivering him to his death so Duan Ling Tian would not have to fulfill his promise to him.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian entered the valley, a few startled cries rang in the air.

“Who is it?!”

“Intruders!”

In just a few moments, Duan Ling Tian and Du Huan were surrounded by a group of people, who were clearly led by an old man and a middle-aged man.

At this time, someone cried out, “Du Huan!”

“Du Huan?”

The old man, one of the two leaders, frowned before he turned to look at the person who recognized Du Huan.

The other person hurriedly explained, “Second leader, Du Huan is a member of a hunting team as well, but his team only has two intermediate Lords of Gods. We have not cooperated with that team before so it’s natural that you don’t recognize him.”

At this time, Du Huan, who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian, was deathly pale. Despair flooded his heart as he lamented inwardly, ‘It’s over! It’s really over! Why did I bring this lunatic here? I’m a fool for believing that he’ll reward me with an intermediate Lord of Gods if I lead him here. Naive! I’m too naive!’

At this time, the rudimentary Lord of Gods, who recognized Du Huan, asked coldly, “Du Huan, who is he? What are both of you doing here?”

It was obvious to everyone present that Duan Ling Tian and Du Huan did not come with good intentions. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian was an advanced Lord of Gods; he was clearly not a part of Du Huan’s team.

“I…” Du Huan did not know what to say or how to explain himself. He was terrified and filled with regrets for leading a lunatic here at this moment

While Du Huan was still at a loss for words, Duan Ling Tian replied nonchalantly, “To kill all of you.” Then, he added, “Not bad. Two advanced Lords of Gods and five intermediate Lords of Gods. As for the rudimentary Lords of Gods… Should I leave them to you?”

Everyone was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s seemingly blind confidence and arrogance.

‘Does he really think he can kill everyone in our team on his own?’

After a moment, quite a few of them looked outside the valley, thinking that Duan Ling Tian had brought companions with him. However, after a few moments, they discovered that no one was hiding in the surroundings. It also did not take long before they realized Duan Ling Tian did not need any help.

‘Law of space. Mastery Dao…’

With just a thought, Divine Energy surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s body before a spatial storm raged around him. In just a moment, he had taken control of the entire place, preventing the others from leaving or using the Teleportation Profundity.

Swoosh!

At this moment, an ordinary prominent divine sword glinting with a cold light appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s hand.

“You…”

One of the leaders had just opened his mouth, and he had yet to finish his words when his Divine Energy that was just about to surge out suddenly disappeared.

Thump!

Swoosh!

Following that, the leader, an advanced Lord of Gods, turned lifeless as he fell to the ground at the same time a sword cry rang in the air.

Before the others could recover their senses, another sword cry rang out. When everyone, including Du Huan, regained their senses, they saw that the two leaders, who were standing across from Duan Ling Tian earlier, had died.

Following that, two beams of light shone down from the sky on Duan Ling Tian. It made him look like a deity who had descended to the mortal world. He looked imposing, making the others too afraid to even look at him.

“First leader!”

“Second leader!”

While Du Huan looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, the expressions of the others changed drastically. They were thoroughly shocked. Their two leaders, the strongest members in their teams, were killed in just an instant. They looked at the purple figure fearfully, wondering who he was and why he was so strong.

“Run!”

The others were scared out of their wits now that their leaders were dead. They could only run at this moment. However, to their horror, they discovered that they could not leave. A powerful spatial energy shrouded the entire valley, trapping them in the valley like a cage.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian looked at Du Huan and asked, “That person you mentioned earlier… Which one is he?”

“My lord, he’s there,” Du Huan said as he pointed at a young man with an unsightly expression who was standing in the distance.

The young man was rather handsome, but the panicked expression on his face marred his appearance. His expression grew even worse when he saw Du Huan pointing at him and heard Du Huan’s words. Despair flooded his heart immediately. Although he did not know the reason, he assumed Duan Ling Tian and Du Huan must have come to settle accounts with him.

Swoosh!

A sword cry rang out again, and this time, all the intermediate Lords of Gods present, except for the young man, were severely injured. With another sword cry, those who were injured all died, except for one.

However, the surviving intermediate Lord of Gods wore an expression of despair on his face despite being alive.

Duan Ling Tian raised his hand and brought the intermediate Lord of Gods to Du Huan.

Du Huan’s eyes lit up before he quickly killed the severely injured intermediate Lord of Gods. He was quickly rewarded after that.

As for Duan Ling Tian, the rewards he obtained from killing the other intermediate Lords of Gods were rather negligible.

At this time, Du Huan looked at the dead intermediate Lords of Gods regretfully. If he were able to kill all of them, the rewards would have been unimaginably great. Naturally, he kept his thoughts to himself.

Swoosh!

With a slash of his swords, Duan Ling Tian killed the remaining rudimentary Lords of Gods. Naturally, they did not include Du Huan.

Du Huan felt his heart ache as he watched this. It would have been amazing if Duan Ling Tian had only severely injured those rudimentary Lords of Gods and left them for him to kill. Similar to before, he naturally did not dare to voice his thoughts to Duan Ling Tian. After all, he was aware that he did not have the qualification to demand anything from Duan Ling Tian.

In fact, Duan Ling Tian had intentionally killed the rudimentary Lords of Gods instead of severely injuring them. It made no difference to him either way, but he did not want to make things too easy for Du Huan. Moreover, he had already told Du Huan he would reward him with one intermediate Lord of Gods if he killed two advanced Lords of Gods. If Du Huan wanted more rewards, he would have to show his sincerity.

At this time, the young man, who was dressed in a blue robe, asked with a fearful expression on his face, “W-why… Why did you spare me?”

Duan Ling Tian looked at him indifferently and said, “I heard that you often represented your team to liaise with other teams. As such, you know a great deal about the other teams and their bases… My request isn’t difficult. As long as you lead me to a team and I am able to kill a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, I’ll spare your life. If you lead me to kill two rudimentary Emperors of Gods, I’ll not only spare your life, but I’ll also reward you with one advanced Lord of Gods.”

Duan Ling Tian’s offer to the blue-clad young man was much better than that of Du Huan, and it made Du Huan green with envy. However, it was due to the blue-clad young man’s cultivation base and his ability to lead Duan Ling Tian to rudimentary Emperors of Gods. After a moment, when the rest of Duan Ling Tian’s words registered in his mind, he exclaimed inwardly, ‘Wait a minute! He, he wants to kill rudimentary Emperors of Gods? Is he… Is he capable of that?’

At the same time, the blue-clad young man’s eyes lit up as expected. He said decisively, “I’ll do it!”

As an intermediate Lord of Gods, the blue-clad young man naturally had eyes that were more discerning than those of Du Huan. He could tell that Duan Ling Tian was an extraordinary advanced Lord of Gods and that Duan Ling Tian was no weaker than a rudimentary Lord of Gods.
