4443 Crushing Strength

‘Good-for-nothing brat? Fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity?’

Duan Ling Tian was briefly startled by Tan Xiu Teng’s words before realization finally dawned on him.

At the same time, the World Cleansing Divine Water said, “Little Tian, it seems like we’d guessed wrongly. It’s clear now that Tan Xiu Teng isn’t sent by Meng Tian Feng, the new supreme powerhouse of the Meng clan. As it turns out, he’s sent by Meng Yu Zheng! Clearly, Meng Yu Zheng bribed him with the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity…”

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian could also guess this by now. It was also not difficult to figure out that Meng Yu Zheng’s fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity was from Meng Tian Feng. He could not help but sigh at how Meng Tian Feng doted on Meng Yu Zheng. It seemed like the rumors of Meng Tian Feng regarded Meng Yu Zheng as the most important one among his descendants were true.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts shifted back to Tan Xiu Teng.

‘So the famous Green Flame Saber King of the Divine Sand Realm is only this strong?’

Duan Ling Tian smiled slightly as he looked at the arrogant and confident Tan Xiu Teng. Following that, he brandished the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and cast his Sword Dao. In just a blink of an eye, a sharp and clear whistling noise rang thunderously in the air.

A gray sword ray shot toward Tan Xiu Teng and his torrent of saber rays, leaving spatial cracks in its wake.

Although Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the law of space was not as profound as Tan Xiu Teng’s comprehension of the law of fire, his ridiculously strong Sword Dao increased his strength to a terrifying level.

On the other hand, Tan Xiu Teng also comprehended the Weapon Dao; in his case, it was the Saber Dao. However, his Weapon Dao was very much inferior to Duan Ling Tian’s Weapon Dao. The difference between their respective Weapon Dao was like that of an adult and a three-year-old child.

This was not surprising since even Situ Lei, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint and one of the strongest supreme powerhouses in the Divine Sand Realm, was impressed with Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Dao and even treated Duan Ling Tian like a teacher in regard to the Sword Dao.

Conversely, Situ Lei also acted like a teacher to Duan Ling Tian in other aspects, and Duan Ling Tian learned a lot from him. In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, what he learned from Situ Lei was no less than what Situ Lei learned from him.

“You can’t hold a tide back with a broom,” Tan Xiu Teng said with a sneer when he saw the lone sword ray. Clearly, he had yet to sense how terrifying and powerful Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Dao was. Nonetheless, he was still inwardly surprised by Duan Ling Tian’s terrifying strength. Duan Ling Tian was not even 10,000 years old, but he possessed such terrifying strength. Based on his knowledge, there was no one, in the past and the present, in the Divine Sand Realm who possessed such strength when they were not even 10,000 years old.

“No wonder the Wang clan refused the Meng clan for his sake…’ Tan Xiu Teng was even more certain now that Duan Ling Tian was from an extremely powerful force outside of the Divine Sand Realm. A hint of fear appeared in the depths of his heart, but it was quickly suppressed by his greed and killing intent. No matter what, he had to kill Duan Ling Tian today. It was not only for the sake of the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. Now that he offended Duan Ling Tian, he had to kill Duan Ling Tian now to prevent Duan Ling Tian from seeking revenge in the future.

Upon seeing the torrent of saber rays, Duan Ling Tian said with a disdainful smile, “How ostentatious!”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian waved the sword in his hand. With just one move, the deceptively ordinary sword ray seemed to grow stronger, leaving even bigger cracks in its wake. Although its light was not particularly bright, the whistling sound it generated when it moved was thunderous. Compared to the torrent of saber rays, the lone sword ray looked very simple.

Boom!

As soon as the forces collided, the confident expression on Tan Xiu Teng’s face vanished immediately. He could sense the horrifying strength of the sword ray. Apart from the law of space that had yet to reach the perfect form, he could sense the Sword Dao as well. The energy from the Sword Dao was like violent waves, beating him over and over again.

In the beginning, Tan Xiu Teng could withstand it a little. However, it became more and more difficult for him to resist. His face was red from the effort he exerted, and he let out a roar, activating his bloodline power. With that, he was finally able to withstand the force of the sword ray.

Alas, in the next moment, Tan Xiu Teng discovered two figures that resembled Duan Ling Tian flying toward him with swords in their hands. His expression changed drastically again.

‘The sword ray isn’t the extent of his strength?’

At this moment, Tan Xiu Teng’s heart shook. He, who felt like he was standing on top of the world earlier, now felt like he had fallen into hell. His heart pounded in his chest as he thought to himself in shock and disbelief, ‘H-his Sword Dao… How could it be so strong? At this time, I can only hope that he won’t be able to maintain his sword ray for long!’

Tan Xiu Teng had no choice but to deal with Duan Ling Tian’s two doppelgangers due to their direct assault. Although the doppelgangers from the law of space and the law of time were not as powerful as Duan Ling Tian, they still possessed at least 60 to 70% of his strength.

Since Tan Xiu Teng had to deal with the two doppelgangers, he quickly lost the advantage he had gained from his bloodline power that made him on par with the sword ray. In just a moment, Duan Ling Tian’s sword ray suppressed him again. Moreover, contrary to his expectations, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian had no problem maintaining the sword ray, and it was clear that the sword ray would not be disappearing any time soon. He was forced to retreat repeatedly as he fended off the attacks.

It did not take long before Tan Xiu Teng was exhausted and could no longer hold on. His face was ashen as he asked through gritted teeth, “How can you be so strong?”

The band that tied Tan Xiu Teng’s hair together snapped at this moment, and his hair fluttered messily in the wind, making him look even more pathetic.

Tan Xiu Teng continued to stare at Duan Ling Tian in shock and disbelief. He did not understand how Duan Ling Tian could be so strong. Earlier, he had thought that there was no one in the Divine Sand Realm, whether it was in the past or the present, who was like Duan Ling Tian. Now, he thought that even in the entire Outer Boundary and Myriad Worlds, there were very few people as monstrous as Duan Ling Tian. Perhaps, there was no one like him at all in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds.

“Who the hell are you?” Tan Xiu Teng asked again as despair shone in his eyes. He was seriously injured, but his opponent was completely unharmed. He was wrong earlier. It was him, not Duan Ling Tian, who was like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. If he had fled with all his might in the beginning, he still had a chance, but now, he was injured so it was impossible for him to escape. He was helpless, and he knew that death was imminent; before his death, he really wanted to know who Duan Ling Tian was. After all, Duan Ling Tian was not even 10,000 years old, but he was almost as strong as a peerless top advanced Supreme God. He had never heard of anyone like that in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. Even those prodigies with terrifying strength close to that of a peerless top advanced Supreme God were slightly more than 10,000 years old.

“All you need to know is that I’m from the Myriad Worlds,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently as he waved his hand.

The law of space swept out, quickly and effectively restraining Tan Xiu Teng. It also prevented him from healing his injuries.

“Myriad Worlds? Are you from one of the Three Upper Worlds?” Tan Xiu Teng asked, shocked, “I can’t believe there’s a prodigy like you there. Which of the Three Upper Worlds are you from?”

It was only after Duan Ling Tian came to the Outer Boundary that he learned that the three strongest Worlds were known as the Three Upper Worlds.

The Myriad Worlds were divided into the Three Upper Worlds, 18 Middle Worlds, and the lower Worlds. The God Defying World where Duan Ling Tian came from was one of the 18 Middle Worlds.

“You talk too much,” Duan Ling Tian said with a hint of impatience. Then, he asked, “You said that Meng Yu Zheng sent you to kill me. This means that you’ve been waiting in Blue Dawn City for three years. Is he in Blue Dawn City as well or has he returned to Green Billow City?”

‘If Meng Yu Zheng is still in Blue Dawn City…’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone with killing intent when he thought about it. He thought that Meng Yu Zheng should consider himself lucky if he had returned to Green Billow City.

“He returned to Green Billow City three years ago,” Tan Xiu Teng replied, “I sent him back to Green Billow City three years ago before I returned to Blue Dawn City to wait for you to leave Blue Dawn City.”

A regretful expression appeared on Tan Xiu Teng’s face as he continued to say, “If I had known you’re so strong, I wouldn’t have attacked you no matter what. I didn’t expect that I’d be killed by a young man like you who’s not even 10,000 years old!”

Tan Xiu Teng had thought about his death in the past, and he had thought about the ways he might die. He thought he might be killed by a peerless top advanced Supreme God, a supreme powerhouse, or even the Heavenly Tribulation. However, not even in his wildest imagination did he imagine that he would be killed by a young man who was not even 10,000 years old.

After a moment, Tan Xiu Teng’s expression eased. It was as though he had completely accepted his fate at this moment as he said, “However, if I think about it from another angle, I won’t die in vain if I’m killed by a heaven-defying prodigy like you.”

At this time, Duan Ling Tian who had just spoken to the World Cleansing Divine Water looked at Tan Xiu Teng with bright eyes and asked, “What? You don’t want to live anymore? Are you in such a hurry to die?”

In just a blink of an eye, the killing intent that Duan Ling Tian exuded suddenly disappeared without a trace.
