4382 Arriving at the Heart of the Secret Realm

Duan Ling Tian returned to his senses after Wang Yi Yuan fell to the ground limply with his eyes open. Duan Ling Tian’s gaze was complicated at this moment. Although he had lived for a thousand years and had experienced countless deaths, he still could not but feel helpless. He could not help but wonder if he could really escape from the Crimson Demon.

Before Wang Yi Yuan passed away, he had asked Duan Ling Tian to help his family in his clan.

‘There’s nothing I can do if I die here or end up being possessed by the Crimson Demon… Will I be able to help him?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly. He felt that Wang Yi Yuan had overestimated his ability.

‘Perhaps, it’s just a way to attain peace before he passes…’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly as he raised his hand.

The law of life, combined with the Divine Tree of Life’s vital energy, swept out and healed the wounds on Wang Yi Yuan’s body before Duan Ling Tian stored Wang Yi Yuan’s body in Wang Yi Yuan’s spatial ring.

‘If I can’t escape, I hope you’ll rest in peace there… If I’m able to escape, I’ll bring your body back to your family…’

After putting away Wang Yi Yuan’s spatial ring which Duan Ling Tian now owned, Duan Ling Tian continued on his journey. Since he was still in the secret realm, he had no time to look at the identified item that Wang Yi Yuan mentioned. He had no doubt that the item had to be special since Wang Yi Yuan mentioned it before his death. Moreover, it was also very mysterious since even Wang Yi Yuan could not tell what it was.

In Duan Ling Tian’s mind, he had no doubt that Wang Yi Yuan had obtained the mysterious item in the outside world before he was imprisoned in the Crimson Demon’s Little World. It was impossible for Wang Yi Yuan to cherish the item if it was obtained in the Crimson Demon’s Little World, and it was also impossible for the Crimson Demon to leave a worthless thing in his Little World.

…

Duan Ling Tian continued to advance to the heart of the secret realm. Although the difficulty of the tests continued to increase, he still passed the tests relatively easily. If he were to find a test challenging, he felt that only a few prodigies would be able to survive the secret realm.

As he continued to advance, he discovered that the tests encountered tested his intelligence and ability to react. Without sufficient intelligence and the ability to react, it would be difficult to pass these tests even if one was very strong.

…

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that the Crimson Demon was monitoring his progress in the secret realm.

‘Duan Ling Tian is definitely the most outstanding one among the prodigies… His performance is flawless! There are also a few prodigies who seem to be having an easy time in this secret realm… I’ll raise the difficulty to the highest in the next secret realm. At that time, we’ll see how many prodigies will be able to survive. In the end, if there are a few suitable candidates like Duan Ling Tian, I’ll choose Duan Ling Tian…’

Although the Crimson Demon was mostly focused on Duan Ling Tian, he also monitored the other prodigies. He naturally had a high regard for Duan Ling Tian compared to the others. After all, Duan Ling Tian did not only possess a huge amount of liquid from the divine fountain, but Duan Ling Tian who was a little over a thousand years old was also the youngest among the group of prodigies. Most importantly, Duan Ling Tian, who was an intermediate Supreme God now, was very close to becoming an advanced Supreme God. If there were no unforeseen circumstances, it was likely that Duan Ling Tian would become an advanced Supreme God before reaching two thousand years old.

‘There’s nothing interesting to watch anymore… I thought I’d be able to find a way to obtain the liquid from the divine fountain from him, but the tests were too easy for me to do so. Moreover, I also can’t suddenly raise the difficulty of the tests again. Otherwise, it’ll alarm him. Forget it, I better not push him too hard now. If he destroys his spatial ring before I possess him, I won’t be able to get even a drop of liquid from the divine fountain…’

Previously, the Crimson Demon planned to snatch the liquid from the divine fountain from Duan Ling Tian first because he was not certain if he would possess Duan Ling Tian in the end. He knew Duan Ling Tian was very strong and highly talented, but he was not sure about Duan Ling Tian’s other abilities. However, after monitoring for a while, he was rather satisfied with Duan Ling Tian’s performance. At the same time, he was also rather certain that Duan Ling Tian would definitely be among the last ones standing. Although he was almost 100% certain that Duan Ling Tian had the most compatible body, he still wanted to put Duan Ling Tian through the final test. After all, he could only possess one body once in his lifetime. It was of great importance that he possessed the most compatible body since it would raise his chance of success.

…

Duan Ling Tian, who was unaware that the Crimson Demon coveted his liquid from the divine fountain, continued his journey to the heart of the secret realm. During the journey, he encountered two prodigies whom he was not familiar with, but he did not pay attention to them.

As for the duo, they gave Duan Ling Tian a wide berth after they witnessed how strong he was when he killed Peng Pu Sha.

“Duan Ling Tian is so strong… He’s just an intermediate Supreme God, but he’s on par with top advanced Supreme Gods. Once he becomes an advanced Supreme God, perhaps, only two people among us are a match for him…”

The two prodigies were forced to join forces to pass the tests in the secret realm. However, due to the increasing difficulty of the tests, they were also losing the advantage they gained from joining forces. They were also able to work together due to the trust they built over the years.

Many prodigies would not join forces unless they trusted each other. Even if Duan Ling Tian was extremely strong, they still would not join forces with him if given a chance. After witnessing his strength, they had become wary of him.

At this time, one of the two prodigies suddenly asked, “Do you think we’ll be able to beat him if we join forces?”

“Are you crazy? We can’t even beat Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu, let alone Duan Ling Tian! Didn’t you see how terrified Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu were before entering the secret realm?” the other prodigy refuted as he shook his head.

The prodigy, who raised the question, fell silent for a moment before he shook his head and said with a sigh, “I didn’t expect that I’d be so frightened of an intermediate Supreme God… He’s truly a monster…”

…

When Duan Ling Tian finally arrived at the heart of the secret realm, he saw a huge Transportation Formation. The Formation glowed brilliantly whenever a prodigy stepped into the Formation, and the light would dissipate when the prodigy vanished out of sight.

Just as Duan Ling Tian arrived, he saw a black-clad aloof young man standing in the Formation. They both exchanged a look before the black-clad young man disappeared.

‘He arrived a little earlier, and it seems like he didn’t suffer any injuries… He must be one of the strongest among the group of prodigies mentioned by Wang Yi Yuan…’

A few years ago, Wang Yi Yuan had mentioned a few prodigies who were top advanced Supreme Gods.

Duan Ling Tian knew he was not any weaker than the black-clad young man who had just left. After all, he did not use the Five Divine Elements and the Divine Tree of Life when he was undergoing the tests. There was also a slight delay when he encountered Wang Yi Yuan.

‘Let’s get out of here first. This secret realm is easy but it might not be the case with the next secret realm… I wonder if Sister Water and the Divine Tree of Life gained anything from this secret realm…’

Before arriving at the heart of the secret realm, Duan Ling Tian found the final two tests relatively challenging. However, he did not ask for help from the Five Divine Elements and the Divine Tree of Life because they were occupied. It was part of their plan to help Duan Ling Tian escape from the Crimson Demon.

‘I hope they gained something out of this experience since it’ll increase my chances of escaping from the Crimson Demon. Apart from that, according to Sister Water, if I become an advanced Supreme God, my chances of success will increase significantly. It’ll increase my success rate from 50% to at least 70%!’
