Chapter 4538: Heaven Is So Overbearing
After leaving the Combat Hall of the Jade Tide Palace, Duan Ling Tian met Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace. After he greeted Xiao Tian Ci, he followed Ke Yi who led him to the Transportation Formation in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. He planned to return to the God Defying World in the Myriad Worlds first to break through.
'According to the Void Elder's memories, it's best to break through in the World where one was born. The World energy will be able to help me bear the Heavenly Tribulation to a certain extent. Even if it's not much, it's better than nothing.'
...
When Duan Ling Tian returned to the God Defying World, he found that the supreme powerhouses who guarded the Transportation Formation there were quite polite when they saw him.
Previously, Duan Ling Tian had shocked the God Defying World when he returned with Duan You Wei, a demi Saint. Due to Duan You Wei's presence, those supreme powerhouses quickly dismissed their thoughts to snatch Duan Ling Tian's liquid from the divine fountain away.
Now that Duan Ling Tian returned to the God Defying World again, he could not help but think of Duan You Wei again.
'Sister You Wei... If I survive the upcoming Heavenly Tribulation, I'll avenge you once I enter the realm of supreme powerhouses!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes shone with cold killing intent. His gaze was piercing, and it was as though it could pierce through barriers and kill those who killed Duan You Wei.
After a while, Duan Ling Tian calmed down and began to think about his next step.
With the Void Elder's memories, Duan Ling Tian knew he would attract the Heavenly Tribulation once his law of space and his Sword reached the paramount stage and the seventh stage respectively. If he survived the Heavenly Tribulation, he would be the first person after the gap in history to do so. After surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, he would immediately become a level-seven supreme powerhouse as soon as he entered the realm of supreme powerhouses. At that time, he would also immediately stand at the peak of both the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds; he would be truly peerless.
Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian would not stop at the seventh level. He planned to continue to study the Void Elder's memories and cultivate to the ninth level. Not only that, but he also wanted to cultivate until he was equal to heaven itself.
'Based on the Void Elder's memories, among the deadliest places, three of them aren't exclusive to the God Defying World; they're connected to the Myriad Worlds. The Asura Hell is one of them...'
Duan Ling Tian was naturally familiar with the Asura Hell. In the past, his master reclaimed his position as the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven after returning from the Asura Hell. His master had a fortuitous encounter there. Later on, his master also brought him to the Asura Hell, and he had made great improvements in his law of time there. Although his law of time was not as strong as his law of space, it was not weak at all.
...
As soon as Duan Ling Tian returned to the God Defying World, Xiao Mu Bai, one of the Lords of the God Defying World, was instantly notified. However, when he heard that Duan Ling Tian returned alone, he no longer paid any attention to the matter.
In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was from the God Defying World after all. It was normal for him to return to the God Defying World.
Since Xiao Mu Bai no longer paid attention to Duan Ling Tian, he naturally did not know that Duan Ling Tian was going to the Asura Hell.
...
The Asura Hell.
Seeing how smooth his time was in the Asura Hell, Duan Ling Tian could not help but recall the various dangers he encountered here in the past. He could not help but sigh when he thought about how time flew by so fast. In just a blink of an eye, he had grown so strong.
'According to the Void Elder, the difference between the soul energy of a level-six Saint and a level-five demi Saint isn't that big... This means that even the strongest Saint won't be able to get rid of the soul imprisonment technique on Ke'er... This means that the technique can only be resolved by a level-seven supreme powerhouse at least...'
After learning about this from the Void Elder's memories, Duan Ling Tian was even more eager to break through. Otherwise, based on his personality, he would not have challenged the two peerless top advanced Supreme Gods as soon as he joined the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
...
Meanwhile, news about Duan Ling Tian defeating two peerless top advanced Supreme Gods at once in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion despite not being in the realm of supreme powerhouses yet quickly spread.
Unsurprisingly, it stirred up a huge commotion.
Various forces from various places soon found out that the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion's Golden Dragon Palace had a new member who had comprehended the law of space and the Sword Dao close to the paramount stage and the seventh stage respectively.
Even those in the Three Upper Worlds; the strongest Worlds in the Myriad Worlds, heard the news.
However, not long after they received the news, many of them shook their heads.
"Alas... I'm afraid it won't be long before another monstrous prodigy is lost to us..."
"It's the curse when one's law and Dao of Heaven and Earth reach the paramount stage and the seventh stage at the same time. Heaven won't allow it. It'll bring about a fiercely terrifying Heavenly Tribulation that'll kill him for sure..."
"It's the will of heaven. No one can go against the will of heaven!"
In the past, there were people in the Three Upper Worlds who comprehended the laws and the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to the paramount stage and the seventh stage respectively. However, all of them, without exception, were killed by the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Although the Heavenly Tribulation a peerless top advanced Supreme God has to face is much weaker than that of a supreme powerhouse, it's still terrifyingly strong for a peerless top advanced Supreme God. All the peerless top advanced Supreme Gods in the past died without fail..."
There was a gap in history after all. No one knew what happened exactly. Those who discovered that something was amiss could only pass down what little they knew.
Due to the lack of knowledge of the past, no one thought Duan Ling Tian would be able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation. They were certain that he would die.
"If I were him, I wouldn't break through at all. As soon as his law and Dao of Heaven and Earth reach the paramount stage and the seventh stage, he'll die for sure."
"That's right. He shouldn't have integrated his law of space and his Sword Dao. If so, he could've just comprehended his law of space to the paramount stage and left his Sword Dao at the threshold of the seventh stage. With this, he'd still be one of the strongest Saints or World supreme powerhouses in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds after entering the realm of supreme powerhouses."
At this time, it was no longer a secret that Duan Ling Tian had integrated his law of space and his Sword Dao so the two could improve in tandem. This was easily discovered by the high-ranking officials of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
...
The Asura Hell.
After Duan Ling Tian found a place close to the barrier of the God Defying World, he no longer suppressed his breakthrough and allowed his law of space and Sword Dao to break through. He was just a hair's breadth from breaking through that he did not need to do anything at all.
Duan Ling Tian felt as though his soul was being thoroughly purified at this moment. At the same time, his perception was enhanced more than ten times.
After a brief moment, his Divine Energy surged, turning into a huge sword ray. Following that, smaller sword rays shot out in all directions, destroying everything in their paths.
A huge vortex then appeared near Duan Ling Tian, but strangely, he remained unaffected.
'This power...'
Duan Ling Tian tried to wield the energy that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Suddenly...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of defeating explosions rang in the sky, as though it was expressing heaven's dissatisfaction.
'It seems like heaven doesn't like it when I try to wield my new power? Is heaven so overbearing?'
Duan Ling Tian's gaze was cold at this moment. Then, he continued to try and wield his new-found power, completely ignoring heaven's will.
Suddenly, a massive destructive force swept down from the sky.
Duan Ling Tian, who had been prepared for this, scoffed. Then, he mobilized all his energy and quickly released it. He stood in the air and used his raging power to form a sword that exuded a terrifying aura.
