4603 Zhang Shan’s Decision
Meng Han’s success in overcoming the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation had given hope to many Saints and World supreme powerhouses. They only found that it would be impossible to replicate his success when they found out that he had an additional Heaven Protection Talisman.
However, since Lei Hong managed to overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation without a fourth Heaven Protection Talisman, everyone felt that they could replicate his success.
It was not surprising that many Saints and World supreme powerhouses were eager to break into the next realm after news of Lei Hong’s breakthrough spread. Alas, unexpectedly, a few decades later, they found out that a supreme powerhouse who was no weaker than Lei Hong was killed by the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. Needless to say, this greatly impacted their morale.
‘It seems like even if we successfully obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman from the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, we can’t rush to face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. We have to be very prepared before facing the tribulation. Initially, I couldn’t wait to heal my injuries so I can enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda again to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman. However, it seems like there’s no rush now,’ a World supreme powerhouse, who failed to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman by a narrow margin, thought to himself after learning about Fang Yi Fan’s demise.
At the same time, two World supreme powerhouses from the Three Upper Worlds who recently obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman were filled with fright as they discussed among themselves.
“I obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman a decade ago. Fortunately, I didn’t rush to face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. Otherwise, I might have died just like Fang Yi Fan!”
“I feel the same way. I didn’t expect that even Fang Yi Fan failed to survive the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. He wasn’t any weaker than me…”
Fang Yi Fan’s death was like a reminder to the Saints and World supreme powerhouses in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. They realized that even with the Heaven Protection Talisman, they might not be able to survive the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation.
With this, quite a few Saints and World supreme powerhouses decided to face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation only after they had fully comprehended two laws to the paramount stage and the Dao of Heaven and Earth they comprehended to the seventh stage. With these, the probability of them surviving the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation would be higher. One should know that even without comprehending two laws to the paramount stage, one could still trigger the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation by comprehending two laws to the perfect form.
Many people were aware of Lei Hong’s strength. Since he was able to become a level-seven supreme powerhouse, it meant that he did not suppress his Dao of Heaven and Earth, and when he was a World supreme powerhouse, he must have at least comprehended two laws to the paramount stage. He was considered one of the strongest World supreme powerhouses because he had comprehended at least one law to the perfect form and the others to a high degree, not counting the two he had comprehended to the paramount stage.
Most of the other World supreme powerhouse comprehended one law to the paramount stage and had a profound comprehension of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.
Although a World supreme powerhouse who comprehended two laws to the paramount stage was not unprecedented, most of their comprehension of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth was not very high.
Many of them focused on comprehending the laws to the paramount stage and neglected their Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. For this reason, their strength was only ordinary.
…
After leaving the Profound Law Heavenly Sect, Meng Han bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang.
When only Duan Ling Tian, Feng Qing Yang, Xiao Mu Bai, and Zhang Shan were left, Xiao Mu Bai smiled and said to Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang, “My lords, Senior Zhang Shan plans to move his clan from the Sun Bright World to the God Defying World. I wonder what your thoughts are about this?”
As a Lord of the God Defying World, Xiao Mu Bai naturally wished for there to be more World supreme powerhouses in the God Defying World even if they were not natives of the God Defying World. Previously, Zhang Shan had expressed his envy that the God Defying World had two level-seven supreme powerhouses. At that time, Xiao Mu Bai had jokingly said that Zhang Shan could also bask in the glory by moving to the God Defying World.
Zhang Shan cupped his fists together at Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang as he said earnestly, “My lords, I genuinely wished to join the God Defying World. Please fulfill my wish!”
Zhang Shan had considered it thoroughly before making this decision. Previously, he did not take Xiao Mu Bai’s joke seriously. Although the God Defying World had two level-seven supreme powerhouses, he thought that the glory might not last long. After Meng Han and Lei Hong broke through one after another, he thought that he would eventually break through as well. He also believed that the World supreme powerhouses from the Three Upper Worlds would take that crucial step forward.
However, Fang Yi Fan’s demise had made Zhang Shan realize how difficult it was to overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation even with the Heaven Protection Talisman. Even Lei Hong was severely injured after facing the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. Otherwise, he would not have gone into seclusion for so many years before returning to the Sun Bright World. He knew that Lei Hong was arrogant and liked to show off. If Lei Hong was not injured, Lei Hong would have returned to the Sun Bright World to show off immediately.
Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian also saved his life from Lei Hong’s doppelganger. He also heard from Xiao Mu Bai that Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang shared their knowledge regarding the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth with the supreme powerhouses of the God Defying World. He learned that Duan Ling Tian not only had a profound comprehension of the Sword Dao, but Duan Ling Tian also had a profound comprehension of the Mastery Dao and the Limitless Dao.
For all these reasons, after leaving the Profound Law Heavenly Sect, Zhang Shan decided to move his clan to the God Defying World. The God Defying World was one of the 18 Middle Worlds, but everyone knew the God Defying World was now stronger than the Three Upper Worlds.
“My master and I naturally welcome World supreme powerhouses to join the God Defying World,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. He could tell from Xiao Mu Bai’s gaze that Xiao Mu Bai had likely enticed Zhang Shan to join the God Defying World.
Feng Qing Yang laughed and said, “The God Defying World finally has a World supreme powerhouse again!”
“Thank you for the support, my lords!” Zhang Shan bowed and expressed his gratitude to Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang as he said, “I’ll send a message to my good-for-nothing son and ask him to lead our clan to the God Defying World. Please take good care of us, my lords.”
Then, Zhang Shan turned to Xiao Mu Bai and said with a smile, “Lord Xiao, we’re like a family now. Please look after us as well.”
