War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Unbeknownst to Duan Ling Tian, he had already become the target of the masses. Nonetheless, when he left the secret realm, a sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

'The nail that sticks out gets hammered… Previously, I was targeted by the descendants of supreme powerhouses who were rudimentary Supreme Gods, and there were quite a few powerful rudimentary Supreme Gods as well. However, with the overall ranking, I'll be targeted by everyone who hopes to rank in the top three of the overall ranking and their family and friends…'

Although Duan Ling Tian gained a lot from the secret realm, he did not rejoice. He was very cautious after leaving the secret realm, knowing that he would be in trouble if he ran into strong powerhouses. As such, as soon as he left the secret realm and arrived in the advanced chaotic region, he quickly cast the Double Teleportation Profundity and vanished out of sight.

After reappearing, Duan Ling Tian surveyed his surroundings and discovered two people in the midst of a battle nearby.

The duo were rather powerful intermediate Supreme Gods and had comprehended the law to the extent where its phenomenon could shine for a million miles. They stopped fighting in unison as soon as they discovered another person's presence, afraid of being taken advantage of while they fought.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian sensed the duo's Divine Consciousness shrouding him. His heart sank, and his eyes shone with killing intent. Although the duo was quite strong, it was still possible to kill both of them if he went all out. However, it would take a long time to kill both of them if they were to join forces. At that time, the fight would definitely cause a huge commotion and draw unwanted attention, which would be disadvantageous to him.

'Do they recognize me? If they do, I have to kill them even if it means drawing unwanted attention…'

Duan Ling Tian stared at the duo murderously. He remained fearless as their Divine Consciousness probed him.

The two intermediate Supreme Gods seemed surprised that a rudimentary Supreme God was not afraid of them.

Meanwhile, based on the duo's reaction, Duan Ling Tian determined that the duo had yet to recognize him. He was not very surprised by this. Although he had killed many people in the chaotic region and had become famous, there were no witnesses most of the time. Even if there were witnesses, none of them dared to record him with the Floating Mirror Image Pearl since the fluctuations from the pearl would give them away. As such, apart from those from the Profound Energy Land and those who had seen recordings of him previously, not many people had seen him before.

After confirming that the duo did not recognize him and had no intention of making a move against him, Duan Ling Tian quickly teleported away.

The two intermediate Supreme Gods looked in the direction where he had left before they looked at each other in disbelief.

"That rudimentary Supreme Gods didn't seem to be afraid of us…" one of the intermediate Supreme Gods said. He briefly wondered if he was hallucinating. The rudimentary Supreme God did not even flinch when he saw them.

"He seems to be a new rudimentary Supreme God as well…" the other intermediate Supreme God said, still in disbelief. Based on Duan Ling Tian's unstable energy, it was clear that Duan Ling Tian had just become a rudimentary Supreme God not too long ago.

The two intermediate Supreme Gods were puzzled. Not only was the rudimentary Supreme God fearless, but he also seemed murderous even after he witnessed their fight. Even if they were not among the top intermediate Supreme Gods, they were also considered rather powerful. Moreover, they could also manifest the phenomena of the law that could shine for a million miles. Although they could not kill new and weak advanced Supreme Gods like the top intermediate Supreme Gods could, they were still able to fight on even ground with new and weak advanced Supreme Gods.

"Is it possible that he is…"

The two intermediate Supreme Gods exchanged a look as a name appeared in their minds.

"That purple-clad young man… Could it be him…"

After a moment, the duo exclaimed in unison, "Duan Ling Tian!"

Following that, the two intermediate Supreme Gods did not continue to fight. Instead, they flew to the nearest base camp and spread the word of the sighting. The duo had no hope of ranking in the overall ranking, but it still did not stop them from spreading the word.

One of them had a member in his force who stood a chance of doing so. He knew that he would be rewarded if Duan Ling Tian was killed as a result of him spreading the word about his encounter with Duan Ling Tian. In fact, the member of his force had a life-saving jade token, which showed that he was highly favored by the supreme powerhouse in his force. As such, the supreme powerhouse might even reward him.

As for the other intermediate Supreme God, he felt the death of a monstrous prodigy like Duan Ling Tian was a good thing for him.

The duo drew a lot of attention when they recounted their encounter with Duan Ling Tian in the base camp. Following that, many intermediate and advanced Supreme Gods left the base camp one after another and made their way to the place where Duan Ling Tian was last seen.

At the same time, a person who stood among the crowd looked at the two intermediate Supreme Gods with killing intent. He was a handsome young man dressed in a scholarly white long robe, and he looked very elegant. He was none other than Yang Yu Chen, Duan Ling Tian's Third Senior Brother from the Inner Palace faction.

'Junior brother was seen nearby?'

Yang Yu Chen did not expect to hear news about Duan Ling Tian. He had only been in the base camp for half a day before he heard about the two intermediate Supreme Gods' encounter with Duan Ling Tian. He committed the two intermediate Supreme Gods' faces to his memory before he left the base camp and made his way to the place where Duan Ling Tian was last seen.

Needless to say, unlike the other Supreme Gods who went looking for Duan Ling Tian to kill him, Yang Yu Chen hoped to reunite with Duan Ling Tian so he could protect Duan Ling Tian.

…

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that the two intermediate Supreme Gods had guessed his identity after he left. Nonetheless, he was very cautious and made sure to travel in random directions. He opened another deca-secret realm and continued to wander the advanced chaotic region.

At the same time, the intermediate and advanced Supreme Gods traveled in groups as they searched for Duan Ling Tian. No one dared to confront Duan Ling Tian alone. Among these people, there were quite a few who only came to watch the show. They moved like a plague of locusts in the advanced chaotic region as they continued to search for Duan Ling Tian.

Little did Duan Ling Tian know, the Supreme Gods were slowly catching up to him.

….

After a few days…

'It should be safe now, right?'

Duan Ling Tian had been on the move over the past few days, making sure that no one was following him. When he felt that he was safe enough, he settled down in a valley temporarily. Although he was physically fine, he felt mentally tired. If he was not in peak condition, he was worried he might not be able to escape if he encountered a strong powerhouse. Moreover, who knew if his mental exhaustion would cause him to be defeated by an opponent who was on par with him?

'I'll rest for a few days before leaving…'

After entering the valley, Duan Ling Tian dug a cave and cast a few Formations for protection before he rested. He sat cross-legged and emptied his mind, but his Divine Consciousness was still connected to the Formations.

…

"There are Formations here!"

"Someone's here!"

In just a blink of an eye, four figures appeared in the valley at lightning speed.
