4291 The Deca-Secret Realm

“Old man, I just realized that you’re quite the chatterbox,” the young man said as he glanced at the old man.

The old man smiled. “Well, your behavior today is out of the ordinary, after all. Anyway, did you meet your junior brother?”

The young man shook his head. “I won’t interfere in his journey so I won’t meet him until he becomes a supreme powerhouse.”

The old man said with a faint smile on his face, “However, based on your character, I think it’s impossible for you to ignore him. After all, he inherited your father’s legacy. How can he be an ordinary person? Moreover, you just said that his attainment in the Sword Dao is comparable to yours. That explains why he was chosen by your father. It’s possible that a profound comprehension of the Sword Dao is one of the requirements to unlock the Aeon Sword legacy that your father left behind…”

“Old man, it seems like you’re familiar with my father. However, I’ve never heard him mention you when he was still alive,” the young man said as he looked at the old man with a probing gaze.

“When the Aeon Sword made a name for himself in the God Defying World, I was just a nobody. Although I’m not a sword cultivator, your father was my idol.”

The young man’s eyes flashed as he asked, “Does this mean you approached me because of my father?”

The old man smiled sheepishly. “Maybe…”

The young man did not know that one of the supreme powerhouses who invaded the God Defying World and was killed by his father was the old man’s enemy. In the past, the old man’s enemy had killed his master who raised and cultivated him. As such, he was grateful to the young man’s father for avenging his master.

…

Duan Ling Tian naturally did not detect the presence of the two supreme powerhouses nor was he aware that the duo watched him kill Hong Zhang Yi. He only speculated that his second encounter with Hong Zhang Yi was not a coincidence. The chances that it was truly a coincidence were slim to none.

Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian would never be able to guess that the supreme powerhouse who helped him was the son of the supreme powerhouse whose legacy Feng Qing Yang, his master, obtained.

Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian were completely unaware of their connections to the supreme powerhouse.

‘There’s still a lot of time left… I should accumulate more battle merits to open a secret realm. It’s easier to obtain rewards and treasures in a secret realm compared to the chaotic region. Only rudimentary Supreme Gods will enter the secret realm with me. This means that all of their battle merits will be mine…’

With Duan Ling Tian’s strength now, he was naturally stronger than all rudimentary Supreme Gods. Even Ning Yi Xuan, the former strongest prodigy in the God Defying World, lost to him in a single–person secret realm.

If Duan Ling Tian encountered Ning Yi Xuan in a secret realm again, he had no intention to fight Ning Yi Xuan. On the contrary, he would step back and allow Ning Yi Xuan to obtain the benefits. After all, Ning Yi Xuan saved his life before, and he was not one to repay kindness with ill will.

…

Duan Ling Tian continued to wander the chaotic region. Based on the lesson he learned, he did not stay in one place for long. As such, it was difficult for others to find him. Moreover, the chaotic region was vast. Unless everyone in the chaotic region searched for him, it would be almost impossible to find him.

…

Five years later.

Duan Ling Tian managed to accumulate quite a lot of battle merits over the years. After that, he did not hesitate to use half of his battle merits to open a multi-person secret realm. To be precise, he chose to open a secret realm that could accommodate ten people, a deca-secret realm. Ten people were also the maximum number of people a secret realm could accommodate.

Needless to say, he had to wait for another nine people to use their battle merits to open the deca-secret realm before he could enter.

‘I can only wait for now…’

Duan Ling Tian knew he would have to wait for a long time before the requirement was fulfilled and to enter the deca-secret realm.

This method was very time-consuming. It would have been faster if he had joined a group of seven or eight people at least with enough battle merits to open a deca-secret realm.

‘I’ll continue to collect battle merits for now…’

After using his battle merits to open the secret realm, he did not have to stay in one place. As long as he remained in the chaotic region, the entrance to the secret realm would appear near him once the other nine people opened the secret realm with their battle merits.

‘If I’m on the Divine Sanction Battlefield, it’ll take at least a few decades up to a hundred years just to accumulate enough battle merits to open a deca-secret realm. After all, there are only people from two Realms of Gods on the Divine Sanction Battlefield. Conversely, there are people from six Realms of Gods in the chaotic region. I think I’ll only have to wait a few decades before I can enter the deca-secret realm.’

Duan Ling Tian was very patient. It was not a problem for him to wait a few decades to enter the secret realm. However, he was unaware that before he opened the secret realm, six other people had already opened the secret realm; he was the seventh person to do so.

For this reason, only four years had passed when the void around him shook and a mysterious portal appeared.

When the mysterious portal appeared, Duan Ling Tian had just teleported to block someone from the Scaling River Land.

Hong Zhang Yi, the grandson of a supreme powerhouse, was from the Hong clan, a prime supreme-rank force in the Scaling River Land. His grandfather was also the only supreme powerhouse in the Hong clan.

The person Duan Ling Tian met was not from the Hong clan and did not recognize Duan Ling Tian. He sneered when he saw the mysterious portal near Duan Ling Tian and said, “You provoked me first. Do you think you can escape from me now by entering the secret realm? You underestimated me.”

Duan Ling Tian was still contemplating if he should enter the secret realm or kill the rudimentary Supreme God in front of him first when a gust of wind blew past.

Following that, the rudimentary Supreme God from the Scaling River Land appeared and stood between Duan Ling Tian and the portal, firmly blocking Duan Ling Tian’s way. Unlike Duan Ling Tian, he had already stabilized his cultivation, but similar to Duan Ling Tian, his strongest law was the law of space. He had used the Teleportation Profundity to block Duan Ling Tian’s way.

The person from the Scaling River Land was a tall and burly middle-aged man. As soon as he appeared, he looked at Duan Ling Tian sinisterly and said, “Young man, I’m going to kill you today.”

Following that, a huge hammer appeared in the middle-aged man’s hand. After a translucent figure appeared above the hammer, he threw the hammer out at Duan Ling Tian.

Boom!

The void rippled as the hammer flew out.

Duan Ling Tian instinctively tried to teleport but discovered that the surrounding space had been disrupted.

“Young man, I knew you comprehended the law of space when you teleported earlier. I won’t let you escape using the Teleportation Profundity!” the middle-aged man said with a sneer.

At the same time, a terrifying spatial energy swept out along with the hammer that was flying toward Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained calm when facing the incoming attack. He shook his head and said, “I was still considering if I should let you go and enter the secret realm immediately. It seems like there’s no need for me to consider it anymore…”

Subsequently, a spatial storm began to rage around Duan Ling Tian as countless seven-colored sword rays shot out of his body toward the huge hammer.

Swoosh!

The light from the seven-colored sword rays shone along with the phenomenon of the law that shone for a million miles.

“Impossible!” the middle-aged man exclaimed in disbelief when he saw the phenomenon of the law that shone for a million miles. He knew now that he had greatly underestimated Duan Ling Tian. After all, in his opinion, a new rudimentary Supreme God like Duan Ling Tian was very easy to kill.
