Chapter 4196 - It’s Just a Prank

Chapter 4196: It’s Just a Prank

“Duan Ling Tian…”

Finally, the imminent Supreme God from the Soaring Divine Kingdom stopped his attempt to break free of the Restraining Profundity. He knew his actions were futile.

The old man was keenly aware that his life was at the mercy of the purple-clad young man in front of him. Hence, he did not hesitate to plead for his life. At the same time, he regretted provoking Duan Ling Tian again.

“I apologize for my previous actions! I’ll make it up to you! I’ll help you kill an advanced Emperor of Gods! If that’s not enough, how about two… or three? Apart from that, I’ll owe you a favor as well! If you need my help in the future, I definitely won’t refuse you! I’ll do my best to return the favor!”

Duan Ling Tian looked at the old man indifferently, ignoring the old man’s pleas. “Do you think I need your help with killing advanced Emperors of Gods? I really didn’t expect that I’ll meet you again so soon. It seems like our encounter is destined. Not only that, but your death is also destined. Die.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted coldly as he made a move.

The old man quickly defended himself, but alas, he was no match for Duan Ling Tian at all. Unsurprisingly, he was killed in just a blink of an eye.

Swoosh!

A beam of light shone down on Duan Ling Tian after he killed the old man.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian continued to wander the heart of Destiny Canyon. There was not much time left before the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms would end. He wanted to make full use of his remaining time in the canyon, hoping to obtain as many rewards as possible.

To return the favor to Zhu Ying Jun, the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, and Yun He, Duan Ling Tian decided not to kill the people from the Righteous Divine Kingdom. He naturally did not have such considerations for the participants from the other Divine Kingdoms. This was a place where the strong preyed on the weak, after all.

Duan Ling Tian did not explore the barren land. Instead, he flew in another direction, a place parallel to the barren land that he had yet to explore. Soon after, he saw a man being chased by another two men.

‘Brother Yun He?’

It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to identify the man being chased as Yun He, the right-hand man of Zhu Ying Jun. Yun He was the one who brought him to the capital of the Righteous Divine Kingdom.

Duan Ling Tian had no impression of the two men chasing Yun He at all and quickly deduced that the duo must be from another Divine Kingdom.

Yun He looked terrible as he struggled desperately to escape. He could tell the two men were quickly catching up to him, and he knew that it would be over for him once the two men caught up to him.

The two men from the Sedge Mountain Divine Kingdom smiled contemptuously when they saw how helpless Yun He was.

“Yun He, you can’t escape from us!”

“Yun He, you’ll die today.”

The duo mocked Yun He, certain that they would be able to kill Yun He.

‘I didn’t expect to die here…’ Yun He thought to himself as he sank into despair, ‘At least I didn’t meet in vain. I managed to meet a monstrous talent like Brother Ling Tian in my life. It’s a pity I don’t have a chance to meet him again before I die…’

However, Yun He’s eyes soon widened in disbelief when he saw the purple-clad figure standing in the distance looking at him. Then, a wry smile appeared on his face as he thought to himself, ‘To think that I’m hallucinating before my death.’

Yun He was still very confident that he was hallucinating when he discovered Wang Chun Yi and Hu Bo seemed to have frozen up.

“D-Duan Ling Tian…”

The duo looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock. They did not expect to run into Duan Ling Tian. They had also heard the rumor of Duan Ling Tian stabilizing his cultivation base in the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods. Most importantly, they also heard that Duan Ling Tian was now stronger than imminent Supreme Gods.

The duo looked at each other before they exclaimed in unison, “Run!”

The duo cursed inwardly as they turned hastily and ran away.

‘Damn it! Why is Duan Ling Tian here?’

‘Communication Jades are useless in Destiny Canyon, right?’

‘How lucky is Yun He for Duan Ling Tian to show up here?’

At this time, Hu Bo, who comprehended the law of space, tried to cast the Teleportation Profundity. He soon discovered that the space had been disrupted and that he could not teleport away.

Hu Bo and Wang Chun Yi’s expressions changed drastically as they struggled in futility to break free.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian walked over and said to Yun He teasingly, “Brother Yun He, you don’t look too good…”

Yun He naturally felt embarrassed. However, he quickly recovered and said seriously, “Brother Ling Tian, don’t let them escape. They’re advanced Emperors of Gods. You’ll receive double rewards by killing them.”

“Rest assured, Brother Yun He. They won’t be able to escape from me,” Duan Ling Tian said before he glanced at the duo who was still struggling to break free of the Restraining Profundity.

Yun He followed the line of Duan Ling Tian’s sight and saw the duo attacking the space around them. No matter how hard they attacked, the space did not even ripple.

Who knew how many times the duo had attacked before faint ripples finally appeared? Even then, Duan Ling Tian casually strengthened the barrier with his Divine Energy, and the faint ripples faded away immediately.

The desperate duo finally gave up on attacking the barrier.

Wang Chun Yi inhaled deeply before he turned to look at Yun He and said with a smile, “Yun He, do you really think we were trying to kill you? It was just a prank! We would’ve caught you in an instant if we didn’t intentionally hold back earlier…”

Wang Chun Yi did not hesitate to lie to save his life, trying to convince Yun He that it was just a prank.

Hu Bo quickly recovered his senses and chimed in, “That’s right. Yun He, it was just a prank. Don’t take it so seriously.”

Yun He scoffed. “A prank? Do you think I’m a fool? Or do you think Brother Ling Tian is a fool?”

Duan Ling Tian had no interest in the trio’s exchange at all. In his eyes, the duo was like walking double rewards. After a moment, he asked with a smile, “Brother Yun He, do you have any last words for them?”

Yun He shook his head slightly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Wang Chun Yi and Hu Bo’s expressions changed immediately upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s ominous words.

Wang Chun Yi fell to his knees immediately and began to kowtow to Duan Ling Tian as he pleaded for his life.

At the same time, Hu Bo claimed that he found a secret realm in the heart of Destiny Canyon. He said that he failed to open the secret realm and that only imminent Supreme Gods could open the secret realm. Unsurprisingly, he said that he would lead Duan Ling Tian to the secret realm if Duan Ling Tian spared his life.

Alas, the duo did obtain the result they had hoped for.

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian killed the duo without batting an eyelid. His robes fluttered in the wind as he stood in the air. He looked like a cold immortal, indifferent to the life and death of all living things.

Yun He could not help but gasp as he watched the scene in front of him. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian’s strength to improve to this extent after becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods and stabilizing his cultivation base in Destiny Canyon.

‘Before entering the canyon, Brother Ling Tian has already said he would break through and stabilize his cultivation base. However, no one believed him at that time!’

Yun He suddenly recalled that Duan Ling Tian had confidently told the people from the supreme-rank force who came to recruit him that he would be able to break through and stabilize his cultivation base in Destiny Canyon. At that time, everyone did not believe him and many even thought that he was just boasting.

‘I wonder how those people from the supreme-rank force will react after Brother Ling Tian leaves Destiny Canyon? They’ll have to fulfill their promises to him and help him become an advanced Emperor of Gods if they want him to join their force.’

Soon after, Yun He’s eyes widened as another thought appeared in his mind. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and thought to himself, ‘This… Does this mean that Brother Ling Tian is confident about becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods soon?”

At this time, Duan Ling Tian looked at Yun He and said, “Brother Yun He, I think you should find a safe place and hide now that everyone has arrived at the heart of Destiny Canyon.”
