Chapter 3906: Lords of Gods Death Warriors

This was Duan Ling Tian’s third time forming the doppelganger from the law of space so the process was extremely smooth and fast. As soon as the doppelganger was completely formed, the one in the lower realm disappeared completely.

One could only form one doppelganger from a law at a time.

After forming the doppelganger, Duan Ling Tian finally calmed down.

…

A few days later, Duan Ling Tian made his way to the Imperial War Realm again. Ten years had passed since the last time he entered the Imperial War Realm.

Ten years were not long and passed in just a blink of an eye for those in the Realms of Gods. Even a single session of closed-door cultivation could last for centuries. In comparison, ten years was nothing. It was even possible to cultivate closed-door for more than 1,000 years, but it was impossible for those at or above the stage of a King of Gods since they had to face the Heavenly Tribulation every 1,000 years. Even Supreme Gods who were close to becoming supreme powerhouses were not exempt from this. As for whether supreme powerhouses also had to face Heavenly Tribulations, perhaps, only supreme powerhouses themselves and their immediate relatives had the answer.

…

For Xue Ming Zhi, one of the Vice Sect Leaders of the Flying Dragon Sect, the past ten years had been particularly torturous for him. He had never felt like that before.

“It’s been ten years. Is Duan Ling Tian never going to leave Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground?”

Xue Ming Zhi was afraid that the longer the matter dragged on, the stronger Duan Ling Tian would become. At that time, it would be even harder for him to get rid of Duan Ling Tian. The two Lords of Gods death warriors he had hired would no longer be able to kill Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian grew even stronger. How could he not be anxious with this thought in his mind?

Furthermore, to not expose themselves, the two Lords of Gods had to enter the Imperial War Realm as well. Hence, Xue Ming Zhi was also worried the duo might be killed on the Lord Battlefield.

While Xue Ming Zhi was drowning in his anxiety, he received a Voice Transmission.

“My lord, Duan Ling Tian has left Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground, and he’s alone. He’s heading toward the Imperial War Realm. There’s no movement from Xue Hai Chuan, and he’s likely still in closed-door cultivation.”

The message was from his man whom he had stationed outside of Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground to monitor Duan Ling Tian. He was a disciple in charge of patrolling the area, and he had been selected so as to not arouse suspicion.

“Good! Very good!” Xue Ming Zhi was delighted. He thought that Xue Hai Chuan probably did not expect him to hire two death warriors who were Lords of Gods to deal with Duan Ling Tian since the cost is astronomical.

Xue Ming Zhi’s eyes were bright as he brought out his trusted friend’s Soul Pearl to send a message. “Duan Ling Tian is heading toward the Imperial War Realm alone. Tell them to look for an opportunity to complete their mission.”

Xue Ming Zhi’s laughed and replied, “Congratulations! Your wish is about to be fulfilled!”

“I hope so,” Xue Ming Zhi said. Unless Duan Ling Tian died, he still did feel assured. Nonetheless, he finally saw a sliver of hope at this moment.

Xue Ming Zhi’s friend said again, “I know the loss of those Kings of Gods death warriors affected you slightly. However, you hired them for almost nothing. Just focus on those two Lords of Gods. They’ve entered the Imperial War Realm a few times now. Not only are they not injured, but they even killed a few Lords of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect. One of those they killed was an inner elder of the Tai Yi Sect as well! Even if the duo encounters an Underworld Elder, the Underworld Elder might not even be able to prevent them from escaping.”

Xue Ming Zhi said, “I know they’re strong. However, my only concern is whether they’ll succeed in their mission.”

As long as the duo completed their mission, Xue Ming Zhi would feel that the high price he had paid was worth it. After all, he had hired death warriors not assassins. The cost of hiring assassins was nowhere near that of hiring death warriors. Assassins had autonomy while death warriors were under another person’s control. Death warriors had no choice but to follow their owner’s bidding.

If the duo failed, he would really suffer a huge loss. Apart from that, if the death warriors failed, he would have to take even greater risks.

“He’s just a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Success is guaranteed,” Xue Ming Zhi’s friend said dismissively, “Unless he’s already become an intermediate Lord of Gods, it’s impossible for him to survive with two intermediate Lords of Gods making a move.”

“You’re right,” Xue Ming Zhi said, feeling much more at ease. He did not think Duan Ling Tian would become an intermediate Lord of Gods in just ten years. Even those monstrous prodigies from supreme-rank forces would find it difficult to break through in such a short time.

Cultivation would only get harder as one got stronger, after all.

Cultivating as a Lord of Gods was ten times more difficult compared to cultivating as a King of Gods. Even if one had unlimited resources, divine pills, and divine fruits, one would still need time to break through.

For this reason, regardless of Duan Ling Tian’s heaven-defying talent, Xue Ming Zhi was certain Duan Ling Tian could not have become an intermediate Lord of Gods in such a short time.

Indeed, Duan Ling Tian had yet to become an intermediate Lord of Gods. Despite consuming many divine pills, he not only did not become an intermediate Lord of Gods yet, but his progress was not very significant as well.

…

After leaving Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground, Duan Ling Tian made his way to the valley where the entrance to the Imperial War Realm was located. He did not inform Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian about this since the duo might insist on accompanying him. With the duo’s presence, it would be difficult for him to gain experience on the Lord Battlefield.

‘I rarely fought after becoming a Lord of Gods. The only way to improve and familiarize myself with my strength is to fight. Life-or-death battles will help me even more…’ Duan Ling Tian sighed as he thought to himself, ‘Even my law of space isn’t progressing with the help of the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.’

Although Duan Ling Tian was anxious to get stronger, he knew there was nothing much he could do at the moment. He could only solve his problems as they come. The Lord Battlefield should help him with the mobilization of his Divine Energy. As for the law of space, he thought there was a chance it would improve during battles as well. Even if it did not, he would solve the problem later. At worst, he would have to wait until he became an intermediate Lord of Gods before his law of space could improve again.

‘In any case, my comprehension of the law of space has slightly surpassed that of Brother Hai Chuan, Brother Yan Nian, and a few Black Dragon Elders. It should be sufficient for now…’

Duan Ling Tian needed a breakthrough the most now. He suspected that the bottleneck he faced when comprehending the law of space had something to do with his stagnant cultivation base.

He had read many records in the Profound Energy Land regarding the history and people of the Eastern Ridge Mansion and other places. From what he had read, there was no rudimentary Lord of Gods who possessed comprehension like him.

When Duan Ling Tian arrived at the entrance of the Imperial War Realm, he saw a lot of people exchanging tips and sparring. There were also many who were chatting and playing around. Some were even betting using their artifacts.

‘These people are really carefree. However, quite some time has passed since the Imperial War began. It’s normal that they have grown desensitized to the dangers of the Imperial War…’

“Hmm?”

Duan Ling Tian was about to enter the entrance that led to the Imperial War Realm when he heard faint noises coming from afar. Moreover, the sound seemed to be drawing closer and closer. He turned around and saw a young man and a middle-aged man fighting.

The fight attracted many people’s attention since they were the intermediate Lords of Gods present at the moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The duo seemed to be moving closer and closer to him as they fought. They moved in other directions as well, but in general, there was no doubt they were drawing closer and closer to him.

Duan Ling Tian paused and watched their battle. After all, it would be beneficial to him to watch the intermediate Lords of Gods fight.

“Hmm? It’s them?”

When the duo drew closer, Duan Ling Tian finally saw their faces. He remembered seeing them entering the Imperial War Realm previously.

Boom!

The duo did not seem to be holding back as they fought. A loud explosion rang in the air before the duo shot off in opposite directions. One flew away from Duan Ling Tian while the other flew toward Duan Ling Tian and a few others.
