4262 A Supreme Powerhouse?

‘The Divine Tree of Life!’

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed as soon as he saw the silhouette of a huge tree. He knew that Ning Yi Xuan’s branch from the Divine Tree of Life had to be extraordinary for it to be able to manifest the tree and defend against his enemies.

When Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger from the law of space attacked the silhouette of the tree with all its might, Duan Ling Tian discovered that it quickly recovered its energy. The silhouette seemed capable of endlessly recovering its energy as it prevented his doppelganger from coming close.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian discovered that the speed of the Divine Tree of Life’s recovery ability seemed to be slowing down. Even then, it would take his doppelganger some time to destroy the silhouette of the Divine Tree of Life.

Duan Ling Tian felt that he was on the brink of death at this moment. This was the second time he felt so close to death in a long time. The other time was when he faced the Clan Leader of the Yun clan. Even then, the feeling was nowhere near as intense as it was this time.

“Duan Ling Tian, I’m familiar with all of your techniques. Is this all you got?” Ning Yi Xuan asked with a smug smile on his face as he easily dealt with Duan Ling Tian’s attack that had lost most of its power using his nine-foot-long spear.

Since Ning Yi Xuan discovered that Duan Ling Tian became an advanced Emperor of Gods at a younger age than him, he had learned all he could about Duan Ling Tian, whom he thought had a higher innate talent and comprehension skills than him. As such, he knew that Duan Ling Tian was from a mundane realm and possessed the ability to form doppelgangers from the laws. From the beginning until now, each of his moves was made based on his understanding of Duan Ling Tian’s abilities. This was also one of the reasons he was certain of his victory.

Swoosh!

When Ning Yi Xuan dealt with almost all of Duan Ling Tian’s attacks, Duan Ling Tian finally regained mobility. Following that, his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword shone dazzlingly again. Although Ning Yi Xuan’s Divine Consciousness Bloodline was powerful, it could only restrain him briefly. Moreover, Ning Yi Xuan needed some time to recover before he could use his bloodline power again. Even the most powerful bloodline power had limits. Otherwise, people like Ning Yi Xuan would be invincible.

“Resistance is futile. It’s too late,” Ning Yi Xuan said with a sneer as he continued to deal with Duan Ling Tian’s attack.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger from the law of space was still struggling against the silhouette of the Divine Tree of Life. If the situation continued, it would undoubtedly be the end of Duan Ling Tian. Even if Duan Ling Tian’s other doppelgangers appeared, it would not make a difference when the opponent was so powerful.

“Your strength is beyond my expectations. I didn’t expect you to possess a branch from a Divine Tree of Life,” Duan Ling Tian said with a sigh. He could tell Ning Yi Xuan’s branch came from a strong and complete Divine Tree of Life in a supreme powerhouse’s Little World, which was also a Realm of Gods. It was obvious to him that Ning Yi Xuan must have a good relationship with a supreme powerhouse to be granted such a treasure.

‘It seems like I have no choice but to use the Divine Tree of Life as well,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he sighed inwardly. At the same time, a small opening appeared in his Little World before the energy from his Divine Tree of Life surged out toward Ning Yi Xuan.

At this moment, Ning Yi Xuan could feel his energy depleting swiftly as he defended against the energy from Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Tree of Life. He only managed to defend against it easily because of the vital energy’s close connection to the law of life.

At the same time, Ning Yi Xuan’s expression changed as he exclaimed in disbelief, “The Divine Tree of Life! You have a Divine Tree of Life in your Little World!”

Although Duan Ling Tian was not a supreme powerhouse now, Ning Yi Xuan knew that Duan Ling Tian was on track to becoming one. After all, all supreme powerhouses had the Divine Tree of Life in their Little Worlds. He knew that Duan Ling Tian must have obtained the Divine Tree of Life through some means and made it willingly acknowledge Duan Ling Tian as its master.

Swoosh!

After exhausting half of the force of Ning Yi Xuan’s attack, Duan Ling Tian struck again, turning the tables. Not only did he manage to suppress Ning Yi Xuan, but he was also close to ending Ning Yi Xuan’s life.

A hint of unwillingness flashed in Ning Yi Xuan’s eyes as he thought to himself, ‘If only my Profound Divine Metal didn’t enter a state of deep slumber after I overexerted its strength previously. Otherwise, I might be able to kill him even if he possesses the Divine Tree of Life. What a pity!’

Ning Yi Xuan did not only have extraordinary innate talent and comprehension skills, but he was heaven-defyingly lucky as well. In his early years, he had obtained a Profound Divine Metal and cultivated it to a high level.

In the Ning clan, Ning Yi Xuan had the highest chance to become a supreme powerhouse. After all, not only did he comprehend one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, but he also possessed a Profound Divine Metal. Unbeknownst to him, Duan Ling Tian not only possessed the Profound Divine Metal, but Duan Ling Tian possessed all Five Divine Elements. Duan Ling Tian’s Five Divine Elements, which had also been cultivated to high levels, were also in a deep slumbering state. If Duan Ling Tian’s Five Divine Elements were not slumbering, they could have easily devoured his Profound Divine Metal.

Ning Yi Xuan felt his energy from the law of life depleted swiftly due to Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Tree of Life. He was also unable to block Duan Ling Tian’s incoming attack. He hesitated for a fleeting moment before a jade token appeared in his hand.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian sensed the terrifying energy from the jade token in Ning Yi Xuan’s hand. It was as though the jade token contained a terrifying beast. Before he could react, he saw Ning Yi Xuan shatter the jade token.

Crack!

After shattering the jade token, a loud noise rang in the air. The void shook before a huge face appeared in the air. It belonged to a middle-aged man. His eyes were as tranquil as a lake as he stared at Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian felt his heart skip a beat when the middle-aged man looked at him before looking at Ning Yi Xuan.

Ning Yi Xuan withdrew his Divine Energy and said dejectedly, “Old ancestor, I’m useless and have brought disgrace upon you.”

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s attack and the energy from his Divine Tree of Life were suddenly blocked by a transparent barrier. It was completely impenetrable, making Duan Ling Tian feel helpless. He could sense his Divine Tree of Life trembling slightly in fear as though the huge face was a monster before it hastily withdrew its energy.

‘A supreme powerhouse?’

This thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind as he watched the middle-aged man blow out a breath of air and create a spatial tear in the secret realm. Following that, a powerful pulling force surged out from the spatial tear and drew Ning Yi Xuan into it.

The huge face glanced at Duan Ling Tian one more time before it vanished without leaving any traces behind.

At the same time, the spatial tear, from where Ning Yi Xuan left, slowly mended as well.

Duan Ling Tian was shocked, still trying to figure out what happened. In the end, he quickly concluded that the huge face undoubtedly belonged to a supreme powerhouse. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ning Yi Xuan to leave the secret realm on the Realm Battlefield. After all, even an advanced Supreme God would not be able to intervene and bring someone out of a secret realm.

‘What the hell? That supreme powerhouse cheated!’ Duan Ling Tian frowned. He lamented the injustice of the world as he wondered inwardly, ‘Although he did not make a move against me, I failed to kill Ning Yi Xuan… Am I still going to receive a reward from this secret realm?’

…

On the Divine Sanction Battlefield.

The translucent figure of a middle-aged man could be seen bringing a young man along with him. When he was about to open up another spatial tear, he was stopped by a gentle stream of energy.

Following that, an old man who looked rather youthful for his age appeared. He looked at the middle-aged man and said tonelessly, “Ning Yun Heng, you’ve crossed the line.”

At the same time, a tall and handsome young man dressed in a green robe appeared as well. He looked at the middle-aged man and asked coldly, “Ning Yun Heng, are you trying to provoke us?”
