4566 The Heavenly Text Appears Again
Those who were present looked at the purple-clad young man in front of them, and one of them muttered under his breath, “He looks familiar…”
As the Centurion of Crimson Demon Ridge, a puppet of the Crimson Demon, he had not left Crimson Ridge for many years. In other words, there was a high chance that he had met the other party in Crimson Demon Ridge.
“He… Isn’t he Duan Ling Tian?!”
At this time, another Centurion, who also found Duan Ling Tian familiar, recalled where he had seen the young man in front of him before. They had met in Crimson Demon Ridge many years ago. He had seen Duan Ling Tian when Wu Cang, the commander, fought Duan Ling Tian. At that time, Duan Ling Tian was only an intermediate Supreme God, but he was comparable to Wu Cang. In the end, Duan Ling Tian had a sudden burst of power and almost escaped from Crimson Demon Ridge. If Wu Cang did not activate the Formation created by the Crimson Demon, Duan Ling Tian would have successfully escaped.
After the Formation was activated, the Crimson Demon appeared. Duan Ling Tian was forced to fight Wu Cang, one of the Crimson Demon’s strongest subordinates, again. In the end, he managed to kill Wu Cang, causing a huge commotion among the puppets. With that, all of them knew that only the Crimson Demon alone could suppress Duan Ling Tian in Crimson Demon Ridge.
Initially, they thought the Crimson Demon would definitely possess Duan Ling Tian. They were shocked when they found out that he managed to escape from the Crimson Demon and Crimson Demon Ridge. After that, the Crimson Demon killed many puppets in a fit of rage. There was terrible bloodshed in Crimson Demon Ridge that day.
They did not expect that Duan Ling Tian, who escaped, would return to Crimson Demon Ridge again. They thought that he was too bold. Was he not afraid of the Crimson Demon? Although the Crimson Demon had found and possessed a new body, it was likely that he would turn Duan Ling Tian into a puppet to vent his anger.
“He escaped back then. Why did he come back?”
The Centurions were puzzled. They did not understand why he would return after escaping from Crimson Demon Ridge. They had also seen the heavenly text a while ago, but they did think the Duan Ling Tian mentioned in the heavenly text was the Duan Ling Tian in front of them. They assumed they just shared the same name. After all, based on how much time had passed, it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to be a supreme powerhouse, let alone a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
“Duan Ling Tian?”
The Crimson Demon finally appeared. He now possessed a different body, and Duan Ling Tian could vaguely recognize the real owner of this body. The other party was also among the prodigies the Crimson Demon imprisoned back then.
As soon as the Crimson Demon appeared, he extended his Divine Consciousness toward Duan Ling Tian. He was surprised by Duan Ling Tian’s return and wanted to probe him.
“Crimson Demon, it’s been a while since we last met…
The Centurions retreated when the Crimson Demon’s Divine Consciousness swept out, but Duan Ling Tian did not move at all. Instead, he smiled and extended his Divine Consciousness as well.
In just a moment, Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness crushed that of the Crimson Demon.
The pressure from Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness caused the Crimson Demon to spit out a mouthful of blood. His face paled and his body trembled as his eyes widened in shock and fear. At this moment, he recalled the two heavenly texts that appeared years ago.
‘Congratulations to Duan Ling Tian, the advanced Supreme God from the God Defying World, on breaking into the Forbidden Realm and successfully overcoming the Fatal Heaven Tribulation. You’re expected to become the first level-seven supreme powerhouse after the gap in history and surpass all the World supreme powerhouses and Saints in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary!’
‘Congratulations to Duan Ling Tian from the God Defying World. After entering the Forbidden Realm and overcoming the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, he has successfully become the second level-seven supreme powerhouse after the gap in history, surpassing all Saints and World supreme powerhouses!’
When the Crimson Demon saw the first heavenly text, he was instantly reminded of Duan Ling Tian, whom he had planned to possess before the other party escaped from Crimson Demon Ridge. Nonetheless, he did not think that they were the same person. When he saw the second heavenly text, he was even more certain that they could not be the same person. Even today when Duan Ling Tian appeared, he did not think that Duan Ling Tian was the Duan Ling Tian mentioned in the heavenly texts until this moment.
Duan Ling Tian managed to crush the Crimson Demon’s Divine Consciousness. Not only that, but he also injured the Crimson Demon’s lungs and turned his Little World upside down with his Divine Consciousness alone. At this time, the vital energy of the Divine Tree of Life in his Little World had greatly depleted. With this, how could he not figure out that the Duan Ling Tian in front of him was the Duan Ling Tian mentioned in the heavenly texts? Duan Ling Tian was now one of the two most powerful people in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds, far stronger than Saints and World supreme powerhouses.
The Centurions were also shocked. They also recalled the heavenly texts they had seen.
“This…”
“How’s this possible?”
“D-Duan Ling Tian… Don’t tell me he’s Duan Ling Tian, the level-seven supreme powerhouse?!”
The Centurions’ hearts and souls shook. They did not expect the table to turn so suddenly. When they had first met him, he was just an intermediate Supreme God. However, now, he already stood at the peak of the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. If they had not witnessed this with their own eyes, they would not have believed such an outrageous thing.
“Lord Duan!”
Frightened, the Crimson Demon fell to his knees. He trembled all the way down to his soul.
‘No wonder he dares to return after escaping! He didn’t come to seek death but revenge!’
The Crimson Demon lost all will to resist as soon as he confirmed that Duan Ling Tian was a level-seven supreme powerhouse. There was no way for him to win this fight after all. He was among the weaker supreme powerhouses; even a level-four supreme powerhouse could easily kill him. How could he stand a chance against someone who was even more powerful than Saints?
The Crimson Demon pleaded, “Lord Duan, I know I won’t be able to atone for the crimes I committed against you in the past. However, I hope you’ll spare my life! I promise to serve you and stay by your side as your servant!”
“How boring,” Duan Ling Tian said, shaking his head.
Duan Ling Tian did not move, but the Crimson Demon, who was kneeling in the air, suddenly froze before he shattered and vanished into thin air. Just like that, the Crimson Demon died.
As soon as the Crimson Demon died, the Centurions looked delighted. All of them fell to their knees in unison and thanked Duan Ling Tian profusely.
“Thank you, Lord Duan, for giving me a new lease on life!”
“Thank you, Lord Duan!”
Now that the Crimson Demon died, the puppets naturally regained their freedom.
More and more puppets appeared, kneeling on the ground to thank Duan Ling Tian. Some were so excited and happy that they burst into tears.
Duan Ling Tian had yet to respond to them when he suddenly noticed a slight movement in the sky. Following that, the originally clear sky darkened as dark clouds rolled in. Purple lightning flashed in the sky as though it was heralding a storm. Then, as though a huge hand had parted the clouds to reveal the sun, the heavenly text, which had not been seen for a long time, appeared again.
