Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5968: Descent of Terror

Returning to the peak of his power, Danbao swiftly arrived at the Immortal Divine Temple.

As he looked at the gathered crowd, his eyes sparkled, a smile playing on his lips.

Those closer to him gathered around, offering their congratulations.

They recounted the challenges of his journey through the Wanliu.

They also inquired about the changes Danbao had experienced since becoming a deity.

Jian Wushuang, ever curious, asked, “Danbao, how is your strength now… Do you possess the power of the Ninth Tribulation?”

He had always been curious about the strength of gods.

Vice had astonished him with his abilities.

Realm King, however, seemed somewhat modest, likening himself to rubbish.

Yet, as he observed Danbao’s aura, it was undeniably extraordinary.

There was a powerful pressure emanating from him.

Surely, he must possess the strength of the Ninth Tribulation!

However, Danbao shook his head unexpectedly, “You’re flattering me. I am merely the God of Life, overseeing the realm of Life reaching perfection. As for strength, I’m afraid I’m still not as formidable as all of you!”

“Why regress?”

Divine Wood King asked in surprise.

When Danbao took control of the Immortal Divine Temple, his personal strength was already comparable to that of an Eighth Tribulation.

How could he now be inferior to them?

There was even Wu Li, who was at the Sixth Tribulation here!

Danbao then explained slowly and calmly, “The concept of strength is something spoken of by cultivators, and it has nothing to do with gods. Whether it’s me or Realm King, we actually have no inherent strength, only responsibilities!”

This explanation finally made everyone understand.

It dispelled their previous speculations.

Only Jian Wushuang remained unconvinced, thinking that perhaps Realm King wasn’t enough.

Weiss’ strength was indeed formidable.

He had even killed the Celestial Maiden.

Who was at the level of Ninth Tribulation!

And they were duplicates of the Starry Sky’s Ninth Tribulation.

Calling him the strongest in the Northern Spacetime wasn’t an exaggeration.

If Weiss wanted someone erased, they would be.

There was still a gap between gods.

Such as between Realm King and Danbao.

One was the overseer of the Northern Spacetime.

The other was the God of Life in the Northern Spacetime.

The difference was apparent.

After discussing their curiosity, Divine Wood King and Lord Hengmu began to subtly mention their own contributions.

Like their confrontation with Chi Jiuxiao.

Protecting Danbao.

Countless battles of life and death.

They even emphasized that particular treasure several times.

Even a fool could see what they were getting at.

They wanted Danbao to fulfill his promise.

And there was Realm King.

He had to fulfill the benefits he had promised initially.

There were quite a few benefits back then!

Can’t gain knowledge without gaining weight!

Danbao, being so clever, naturally understood. He immediately sent a message to Realm King.

Whoosh!

Realm King’s projection appeared personally, slapping his head.

“Look at my memory, I almost forgot about this matter!”

Seeing Realm King come over directly, Divine Wood King and Lord Hengmu hurriedly waved their hands, “This is a trivial matter, there’s no rush…”

“Are you not in a hurry?” Realm King squinted his eyes, staring at the crowd.

The onlookers were momentarily stunned, not bothering with niceties, each wearing a serious expression.

They waited for Realm King to fulfill his promise.

“Alright, what’s yours is ultimately yours!” he said, taking out countless treasures and distributing them one by one to the crowd.

Most of them were treasures needed for crossing to the Seventh Tribulation realm.

They were treasures essential for crossing Tribulations that were hard to find in the outside

world.

Each item brought about a sense of shock when presented.

The most valuable ones were those needed for crossing the Eight Tribulations realm.

Lord Hengmu and Divine Wood King’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

After receiving the treasures, their expressions visibly changed.

After realizing that strength didn’t necessarily correlate with divine status, they no longer harbored grand illusions about the position of gods.

They preferred pursuing power.

Jian Wushuang had never been interested in such things, but he didn’t mind acquiring more

treasures.

He accepted the treasures presented by Realm King, which not only included items needed for crossing his Seventh Tribulation but also some divine power Origin Source.

Mixed within were quite a few.

These treasures were nothing significant for Realm King, but for them, they were like

treasures from the heavens.

After Realm King finished distributing his share, Danbao also stepped forward, rubbing his ring and said, “I have kept the positions promised to you earlier. I can strip three major life envoys of the Immortal Divine Temple and give them to you.”

“Umm…” Divine Wood King and Lord Hengmu hesitated.

Great Monk had been on the sidelines, indifferent to those treasures.

When Danbao mentioned bestowing the envoy positions, their brows furrowed, and their

interest piqued.

Because with Realm King present, Jian Wushuang had let down his guard.

Divine Wood King cleared his throat and spoke first, “Lord Danbao, what benefits does this

Life Envoy position offer?”

In their view, these Life Envoys weren’t much different from puppets.

Those who were used to freedom didn’t seem to have any constraints.

Initially, they pursued these envoy positions because they valued the status and the increase

in power.

Now, after some time together, they felt that not becoming an envoy wouldn’t make much

difference.

It seemed better to aim for the Ninth Tribulation realm.

So they hesitated, wanting to see the offer first.

“Being a life envoy can be very helpful with a Life source. You don’t need to feel pressured.

After becoming a Life Envoy, there are no constraints!” Danbao felt grateful to those who had

helped him, so he relaxed his stance.

After all, as a God of Life, he would definitely research the secrets of life in the future.

He wouldn’t need to engage in battles.

Most of the time, he would be in seclusion.

So he had no requirements for his subordinates.

Upon hearing this, Divine Wood King and Lord Hengmu readily agreed.

With the Life Source, they would be almost on par with Jian Wushuang.

They could continuously restore their vitality.

During battles, they would almost be invincible.

This was a huge advantage.

The two didn’t hesitate at all.

Under everyone’s gaze, Danbao crowned them as Life Envoys.

Becoming envoys, they also received a set of Ninth Tribulation-level Life Armor for free.

It could enhance their divine power.

It was similar to Jian Wushuang’s Tribulation Armor, but its power was much weaker.

His Tribulation Armor could increase his divine power by 50,000 when his basic divine power

was 1.5 million.

That was about one-third.

The Life Armor that Divine Wood King and Lord Hengmu obtained could only increase their

divine power by about one-fifth.

For example, with a basic divine power of 10 million, wearing the Life Armor could increase it

to 12 million.

Despite this, they were still quite satisfied.

The journey to the Wanliu Divine Tree was indeed worthwhile.

They made a killing!

Everyone was very happy.

They had won everything.

It was only in their joy that they overlooked one person.

The originally ostentatious Great Monk.

After the coronation, Danbao remembered Great Monk and turned to find him.

Seeing Great Monk, just as he was about to speak, Realm King intervened. “Dao Guardian!” Realm King exclaimed in surprise. “The Dao Guardian I appointed?”

He had thought that Great Monk voluntarily became Danbao’s Dao Guardian! Now, hearing that he was the Guardian appointed by Realm King himself, he felt astonished.
