Chapter 3904 - A Rudimentary King of Gods With Strength Comparable To an Intermediate King of Gods

“Temple Master, don’t you think you’ve gone overboard?” the old man said grimly as he stared at Duan Ling Tian, “The three of them had served the Title Temple for many years. Although they questioned your authority, you shouldn’t have killed them. Moreover, it’s true that it’s inappropriate to appoint a branch master as the new Temple Master.”

“Elder Chu, it seems like you disagree with my decision as well,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently as he looked at Elder Chu with a cold gaze.

The old man scoffed. “Wu Hong Qing, do you want to kill me as well?”

As soon as the old man’s voice fell, a terrifying energy surged from his body, causing the crowd to shudder. Those with weaker cultivation bases were so pressured that their faces paled immediately.

“D-did Elder Chu break through and become a King of Gods?!”

All of the branch masters, including Zhuang Tian Heng, were shocked.

“He’s become a King of Gods?! Based on the level of comprehension of his law, Wu Hong Qing won’t be able to kill him now that he’s become a King of Gods! After all, his comprehension is more profound than Wu Hong Qing’s.”

Elder Chu, or Chu Hu Yi, was not only the First Vice Temple Master of the main Title Temple, but he was also Wu Hong Qing’s junior granduncle. He has the highest seniority in the Title Temple as well. He was invincible among those below the stage of a King of Gods. Although he was just a rudimentary King of Gods, his strength was almost comparable to an intermediate King of Gods.

For all these reasons, Chu Hu Yi dared to act boldly. Moreover, in his opinion, Wu Hong Qing was likely not an intermediate King of Gods yet. Even if Wu Hong Qing was an intermediate King of Gods, he was confident Wu Hong Qing would not be able to kill him at all even if he was just a rudimentary King of Gods.

The branch masters discussed among themselves through Voice Transmission, afraid of being overheard.

“Elder Chu’s strength is comparable to an intermediate King of Gods even though he’s just a rudimentary King of Gods!”

“Elder Chu’s comprehension of the law of destruction. His comprehension of the law is one of the most profound in the Title Temple and Devata Realms!”

“I wonder what the Temple Master is going to do.”

“Is the Temple Master really going to fight Elder Chu?”

Many of them hoped that Chu Hu Yi would remove Wu Hong Qing from his position at this moment. After all, Wu Hong Qing’s cruel display earlier made them feel uneasy.

Duan Ling Tian smiled. “Elder Chu, I didn’t expect you to have become a King of Gods. So this is why you’re bold…”

Chu Hu Yi said icily, “Wu Hong Qing, do you really think you’re capable of killing me? It’s not my intention to look down on you, but I really don’t think you’re capable of such a feat.”

Duan Ling Tian’s smile vanished abruptly as he said, “Vice Temple Master Chu Hu Yi is found guilty of trying to attack the Temple Master. His punishment is death.”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian waved his hand.

“Ridiculous!” Chu Hu Yi cried out as Divine Energy imbued with the law of destruction surged out of his body.

The younger cultivators were shocked by Chu Hu Yi’s strength. The pressure was so great that some of them began to bleed through their orifices. Fortunately, the branch masters reacted and quickly shielded them. Otherwise, those with weaker cultivation bases might have died.

“So this is the energy of a King of Gods?”

“How terrifying! Although I’m close to attaining godhood, I can’t withstand his energy at all.”

“Kings of Gods are truly terrifying! They’re in a different league.”

Boom!

While the branch masters were looking at Chu Hu Yi reverently, a golden palm seal suddenly descended from the sky and slammed Chu Hu Yi into the ground. When the dust settled, everyone saw a huge hole in the ground.

“The Temple Master has become so strong?!”

“Vice Temple Master Chu is almost as strong as an intermediate King of Gods despite only being a rudimentary King of Gods! Even then, he’s no match for the Temple Master?”

“Perhaps, Vice Temple Master Chu was just caught off guard?”

“Is… Is, is Vice Temple Master Chu dead?”

The crowd looked at the huge hole in shock. Fear lingered in their heart as they communicated through Voice Transmission. Although they did not doubt Wu Hong Qing’s strength, they did not expect him to be so strong. He managed to bury Chu Hu Yi with just one strike.

“Come out. Don’t pretend to be dead. I held my strength back, after all,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Boom!

A loud noise rang in the air as a figure shot out of the hole.

Chu Hu Yi’s robe was tattered, and he was covered in dirt. He looked at Duan Ling Tian solemnly and said, “You’re not Wu Hong Qing!”

Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian laughed. “I’m not Wu Hong Qing? Elder Chu, is this excuse you came up with now that you realized you’re no match for me? Who’ll believe such a shoddy excuse?”

Chu Hu Yi said frostily, “Wu Hong Qing isn’t so strong. Who are you? Why did you possess Wu Hong Qing?”

Duan Ling Tian laughed. “Do you think one would have access to one’s full strength after possessing someone?”

The branch masters, who were knowledgeable in possession, instinctively shook their heads. With that, the opinion changed.

“It seems like Elder Chu refuses to admit defeat.”

“That’s right. Earlier, it was obvious that he was so bold because he has become a King of Gods. He probably didn’t expect the Temple Master to be stronger than him.”

Chu Hu Yi heard the words from the branch masters, and his expression turned unsightly. A hint of fear could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked through Voice Transmission, “Who are you?”

“There’s no need for you to know this,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Subsequently, with just a wave of his hand, Duan Ling Tian killed Chu Hu Yi in front of everyone. He did not kill Chu Hu Yi earlier because he knew this would have a greater impact on the crowd.

The entire place was silent.

“Is there anyone who disagrees with me?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he swept his eyes across the crowd.

Needless to say, with the four people serving as an example, no one dared to speak even if they were dissatisfied. Those four were elites in the Title Temple, and yet, they died so easily.

“Very good. It seems like there’s no more objection,” Duan Ling Tian said as he nodded in satisfaction. Then, he continued to say, “Since that’s the case, Zhuang Tian Heng is now the Temple Master of the main Title Temple, and he’ll host the Main Title Temple Grand Contest. I’ll be going into closed-door cultivation after this.”

After a brief pause, Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhuang Tian Heng and said, “If anyone tries to find fault with you, you can look for me. I’ll help you to deal with them.”

After that, Duan Ling Tian looked at the others meaningfully.

Zhuang Tian Heng hurriedly thanked Duan Ling Tian. “Thank you, Temple Master!”

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly in response before he vanished from sight. He was naturally not interested in the Main Title Temple Grand Contest. He was more interested in searching the Title Temple’s treasure vault to see if there was anything useful for his family and friends.
