4234 Acting Weak?

“Speaking of which, we’re indirectly indebted to my junior brother.”

The golden-clad young man from the prime supreme-rank force in the Profound Energy Land chuckled.

At the same time, the white-clad young man nodded and said, “I have to find a way to repay this favor in the future.”

Yang Yu Chen only smiled upon hearing these words and did not say anything. He knew that his two sworn brothers were righteous people. Even if he told them that there was no need to repay this favor, the duo would not listen to him. Moreover, he also felt that the duo’s favor would benefit his junior brother in the future. Who knew if his junior brother might need it one day?

!!

Although Duan Ling Tian was from the lower realm, he had made quite a few enemies in the Realms of Gods. For example, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, a heavyweight supreme-rank force in the Profound Energy Land, wanted his life before this. Although the congregation had sent people to make amends with him later on, there was no doubt that if the congregation was presented with a chance to kill him, they definitely would not spare his life. Only if he was dead would he no longer pose a threat to the congregation.

After cultivating for so many years, Yang Yu Chen was naturally aware of this fact. It was not difficult for him to guess the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation’s thoughts. It was not surprising if the congregation changed their minds about making amends with Duan Ling Tian.

…

After Duan Ling Tian, Lian Hou Yu, and the others entered the natural secret realm, they saw a vast canyon. Dark shadows like dark clouds loomed at the top of the canyon.

“Heavens! They’re huge monsters!” Hou Dong exclaimed in a slightly frightened and high-pitched voice.

Duan Ling Tian and the others looked up. They discovered that the darkness looming above the valley was not clouds but huge monsters. Initially, the monsters’ eyes were closed. Coupled with the darkness, they could not see the monsters clearly. However, at this time, the monsters opened their eyes, revealing chilling blood-red eyes, which dimly illuminated the canyon.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian and the others heard the sounds of heavy breathing.

“This should be the first level of the natural secret realm,” Qiu Ping said solemnly, “I’m afraid that even the weakest of these monsters are in the realm of a rudimentary Emperor of Gods… There’s also a chance that they’re stronger than that… If the weakest is in the realm of a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, it means that this natural secret realm isn’t a very good one. However, if the weakest is in the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods, it means that this natural secret realm, which corresponds to our cultivation bases, is a rather good one.”

After Qiu Ping finished speaking, the eyes of Hou Lian Yu, Hou Dong, and the imminent Supreme Gods, whom Hou Dong and Qiu Ping brought, brightened one after another.

Hou Dong muttered to himself, “I hope the weakest among these monsters are in the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods…”

Qiu Ping said again, “These huge monsters are growing impatient… Passing the first level shouldn’t be a problem if we attack together. Let’s make our moves now and defeat them. Even if this is the best natural secret realm, which corresponds to our cultivation bases, there shouldn’t be a monster in the realm of an imminent Supreme God in the first level. At most, there’ll be one or two monsters that are almost as strong as an imminent Supreme God.”

Clearly, Qiu Ping had a rather good understanding of natural secret realms.

Hou Lian Yu asked curiously, “Qiu Ping, have you been to a natural secret realm before?”

“No,” Qiu Ping shook his head and replied, “I heard some elders from our Misty Rain Divine Sect talking about the Realm Battlefield’s natural secret realms before. There are records detailing the experiences of the people in the sect who had entered natural secret realms before…”

“I see. I thought you were lucky enough to enter a natural secret realm before,” Hou Lian Yu said.

Qiu Ping shook his head. “It’s not so easy to encounter natural secret realms. Some ancestors in our Misty Rain Divine Sect have lived for tens of thousands of years. They had entered the Realm Battlefield several times and stayed for thousands of years, but they had never encountered a natural secret realm. The fact that we encountered a natural secret realm this time is enough to make countless people jealous.”

At this time, Hou Dong said impatiently, “Alright, stop talking. We should hurry up and pass the first level. You can talk as much as you want after we leave.”

As soon as Hou Dong finished speaking, he took the lead and attacked.

Everyone was shocked as soon as Hou Dong attacked. Wave after wave appeared out of thin air and swept toward the monsters above the canyon immediately.

The huge monsters above the canyon were already restless to begin with. As soon as Hou Dong attacked, they roared and wasted no time in attacking Hou Dong.

Initially, Hou Dong was very confident. However, when he saw the huge monsters charging toward him in unison, he could not help but feel slightly frightened. His face turned pale, and he hastily yelled, “Attack!”

Boom!

The imminent Supreme God, whom Hou Dong brought, made a move at this time. Flames appeared beneath his feet, and he was lifted into the air by the flames. In just a moment, he arrived next to Hou Dong and quickly attacked the monsters before Hou Dong did. His strongest law was the law of fire, and his attacks were powerful. With just a flick of his sleeves, flames raged in the sky and burned dozens of huge monsters into ashes.

With this, a small opening appeared in the midst of the hundreds of thousands of huge monsters.

“Kill them!”

While dozens of rewards shone down from the sky on the imminent Supreme God, Hou Dong’s eyes lit up. He rushed out as huge waves swept out like angry dragons. In just a moment, many monsters exploded into blood mists, which were then washed away by his law of water.

One after another, rewards shone down on Hou Dong from the sky.

“Let’s go and kill the monsters!” Qiu Ping said to the person next to him before he flew up as well.

At the same time, Jiang Yu Wei looked at the young woman next to her. The duo tacitly flew into the sky as well.

With the addition of another four people, more and more huge monsters died.

“Big Brother Duan, let’s go!” Hou Lian Yu said urgently. Initially, he planned to wait for Duan Ling Tian to make a move first. However, after a long time, he found that Duan Ling Tian showed no signs of making a move. In the end, he could no longer hold back and quickly flew up into the sky as well.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian shook his head before he followed Hou Lian Yu. In fact, he did not plan to make a move. However, since Hou Lian Yu had already made a move, it would look bad if he remained idle. In all honesty, he did not care about the rewards from killing these monsters in the realm of an Emperor of Gods.

Among these monsters, there were not many in the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods. Most of them were in the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods. As such, the rewards from killing them were useless to him.

When Duan Ling Tian joined the fight, he saw the flames from the imminent Supreme God whom Hou Dong brought here. Every time the other party made a move, flames would burn the monsters to ashes. It reminded him that it had been a lifetime since he had last used the law of fire in combat.

Boom!

With just a punch, flames raged and surged, killing a monster in the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods in just a blink of an eye.

‘It’s still a little weak,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he shook his head inwardly after he attacked with the law of fire.

Duan Ling Tian attacked again with the law of fire. This time, he used the Mastery Dao along with his law of fire, which increased the power of his law of fire.

Boom!

With just one blow, Duan Ling Tian killed several monsters in the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods in just a blink of an eye.

Hou Dong, who originally looked down on Duan Ling Tian and assumed Duan Ling Tian’s strength was only average, frowned slightly when he saw that Duan Ling Tian was not any weaker than him. He planned to ridicule Hou Lian Yu for not finding a strong helper, but now, he only remained silent. After all, in his opinion, even if Duan Ling Tian was not an imminent Supreme God, Duan Ling Tian was not weaker than him or Hou Lian Yu. As such, Duan Ling Tian was qualified to enter the natural secret realm with them.

Apart from Hou Dong, the others also paid attention to Duan Ling Tian. They were all curious about the strength of the person Hou Lian Yu invited to enter the natural secret realm with them. If Duan Ling Tian was too strong, there would be an extra competitor when they came across treasures later. As such, they sighed in relief when they found that Duan Ling Tian was not that strong.

‘Big Brother Duan… His strength isn’t any weaker than mine even though he’s using the law of fire?!’ Hou Lian Yu, who was also looking at Duan Ling Tian, was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s law of fire. Unlike the others, he knew that Duan Ling Tian’s strongest law was not the law of fire but the law of space. After all, he had previously witnessed Duan Ling Tian easily killing an advanced Emperor of Gods from the Sanction Land, who was close to becoming an imminent Supreme God.

Nonetheless, Hou Lian Yu did not expose Duan Ling Tian. He was not a fool after all. He thought that Duan Ling Tian wanted to act weak and would only show his strength at the critical moment. Seeing that Hou Dong, Qiu Ping, and the others looked dismissive of Duan Ling Tian at this moment, he thought that this must be part of Duan Ling Tian’s plan.

Duan Ling Tian was unaware of Hou Lian Yu’s thoughts. Otherwise, he would definitely be rendered speechless. He only used the law of fire on a whim and did not think too much about his decision to do so. It was not necessary for him to pretend to be weak or hide his strength at all. If he went all out, even if everyone present, including Hou Lian Yu, joined forces, they still would not be a match for him.

‘Jiang Yu Wei’s helper…’

Soon after, Hou Lian Yu turned his attention to the young woman who wore a veil on her face. He watched as she killed the huge monsters with each of her attacks. The strength she showed was comparable to his, Hou Dong, Qiu Ping, and Jiang Yu Wei. They were close to becoming imminent Supreme Gods, but they were still not imminent Supreme Gods.

‘I wonder if she’s also acting weak?’ Hou Lian Yu wondered inwardly when he thought about how Duan Ling Tian was also hiding his strength.
