4381 Wang Yi Yuan’s Last Words

Duan Ling Tian did not wait for Wang Yi Yuan before he entered the secret realm because he knew that even if they entered together, they would be transported to different places at the periphery of the secret realm as soon as they entered. From the periphery of the secret realm, all of them had to make their way to the heart of the secret realm. During the journey, they would have to face many challenges.

If the secret realm in the Crimson Demon’s Little World was a circle, the prodigies would have to make their way from the edge of the circle from all directions to the center of the circle. Only those who managed to reach the heart of the secret realm within a certain period of time could leave the secret realm alive.

It was difficult to meet another person at the periphery of the secret realm, but the chances of meeting another person would continue to increase as they drew close to the heart of the secret realm.

‘I heard that we’ll be able to obtain clues after entering the secret realm… We can obtain clues from animals, plants, and beasts; we just need to look for them… It’s not the end beyond the circle. If we go in the wrong direction, we’ll travel on a road that leads to nowhere, getting further and further away from the heart of the secret realm…’

!!

Duan Ling Tian had learned about this from Wang Yi Yuan before entering the secret realm. This was a test of one’s observational skills.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian hovered in the sky above a tranquil forest. When he looked around, he saw the scenery in each direction was the same. The surroundings were quiet, and there was nothing that caught his attention.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression was serious. He knew that this tested his observational skills, and he needed to find the clues to get to the heart of the secret realm. He was not so foolish as to search for the clues on his own; he quickly opened his Little World and asked for the Five Divine Elements’ help.

The Five Divine Elements were formed from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. As such, they were very sensitive to their environment. In this regard, Duan Ling Tian, a human, was far inferior to them.

“That tree is different from the others,” the Clear Heaven Divine Wood said as he gestured to a tree in a distance on Duan Ling Tian’s right before he detailed the tree’s abnormalities.

After listening to the Clear Heaven Divine Wood, Duan Ling Tian took a closer look at the tree. At first glance, the tree looked no different from the other trees, but after a while, he noticed that more than half of the branches on the tree were strangely pointing in one direction. Due to the number of verdant leaves on the branches, without the Clear Heaven Divine Wood, he would not have been able to discover this at all from a distance, and he would have to turn over the leaves to discover this anomaly. As the wood element, the Clear Heaven Divine Wood naturally was able to sense the difference easily.

“I’ll take a look at the other trees…”

Duan Ling Tian did not immediately approach the tree that the Clear Heaven Divine Wood pointed out. Instead, he decided to look around first. After all, with just a small mistake now, he would be off to a bad start going in the wrong direction. Who knew if the tree was just a ‘red herring’?

Duan Ling Tian looked around the large forest for an hour before he finally confirmed that only one tree was different from the others. He also asked for the opinions of the other Divine Elements, and the World Cleansing Divine Water also used the Divine Tree of Life to confirm the matter. After doing all these things, he finally continued to advance.

“It’s in this direction…”

…

Not long after, a sudden commotion appeared in the sky where Duan Ling Tian had just left. Following the commotion, a figure appeared in the sky. If Duan Ling Tian were still here, he would have recognized the figure immediately; it was none other than the master of Crimson Demon Ridge, the supreme powerhouse who sent him to this hellhole.

The Crimson Demon looked in the direction in which Duan Ling Tian left before he shook his head and muttered under his breath, “I should increase the difficulty of the secret realm again … His law of wood isn’t his strongest suit so I thought it would be difficult for him to find the clue. I forgot that he also has the Five Divine Elements. The Clear Heaven Divine Wood is naturally more sensitive to trees compared to those who comprehend the law of wood.”

“His strength is almost comparable to that of the strongest top advanced Supreme Gods. With this, even if this is his first time coming to the secret realm, it won’t be hard for him to leave. I don’t have much time left… I’ll increase the difficulty of the secret realm this time. There are more than 30 people left; I only need half of them to survive. The next time I open a secret realm again, I’ll directly select three candidates with the most suitable bodies…”

The Crimson Demon’s eyes lit up with greed as he continued to mutter to himself, “I hope that Duan Ling Tian has the most suitable body for me to possess… I’m very satisfied with his body. He’s young, powerful, and attractive… This time, I’ll try to snatch the liquid from the divine fountain from him. Let’s see if it’s possible for me to force him to bring it out…”

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of the Crimson Demon’s nefarious plan. He continued to advance after confirming he was going in the right direction. At the same time, he easily passed the checkpoints and challenges he encountered along the way with his extraordinary strength.

These tests at the beginning might be difficult for ordinary intermediate Supreme Gods, but they were naturally not difficult at all for Duan Ling Tian. Although the difficulty of the tests increased the further he went, he was still strong enough to pass them easily without any issues.

‘The challenges aren’t difficult at all…’

…

At the same time, many people among the more than 30 prodigies, including Wang Yi Yuan, were struggling in different places.

Wang Yi Yuan had not recovered from his previous injuries, after all. This time, the difficulty of the secret realm increased again; it was only natural that he was struggling.

“I’ll definitely die during the next test…”

Currently, Wang Yi Yuan looked very different from how he looked when he first entered the secret realm. Not only was his robe in tatters, but it was also stained with blood from his wounds. His face was also stained with blood. He panted as he moved, and he looked completely exhausted.

‘Should I take a break first? No… If I take a break, the next test might come to me directly…’

In the past, Wang Yi Yuan had encountered such a situation. As such, he was very vigilant now.

After traveling for a while, Wang Yi Yuan finally encountered the next test. A huge demon appeared during this test and further injured Wang Yi Yuan.

‘It’s too strong… I might be able to kill him in my prime, but now…’

Wang Yi Yuan looked at the demon charging toward him with an expression of despair and eyes brimming with unwillingness. Although he was unwilling to die, he did not have the courage nor the energy to resist anymore. In the end, he subconsciously closed his eyes when he felt the blade-like wind blowing against his face as the huge demon drew close.

Just as Wang Yi Yuan thought he was going to die, he heard a loud noise. He instinctively opened his eyes and discovered that a purple figure had appeared in front of him at some point. Although he could only see the other party’s back, he recognized the other party immediately.

“Brother Ling Tian?”

Duan Ling Tian had arrived at the critical moment. He had just passed a test earlier when he heard a huge commotion from this place. Since it was relatively near, he decided to come over to have a look. When he arrived, he saw the scene of Wang Yi Yuan nearly getting killed.

Apart from Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu who offended him, Duan Ling Tian would help everyone, let alone Wang Yi Yuan whom he was most familiar with in the Crimson Demon’s Little World. After all, even if he did not know the others, they were all in the same boat. If he could help, he naturally did not mind lending the others a helping hand.

Duan Ling Tian turned around and nodded with a smile at Wang Yi Yuan. However, the smile on his face vanished immediately, and his expression changed drastically. He hastily sent a seven-colored sword ray toward Wang Yi Yuan’s feet. Alas, he was still too slow.

Boom!

The ground under Wang Yi Yuan’s feet shook before a grayish-brown spike shot up from the ground and pierced Wang Yi Yuan’s body.

Following that, a shrill cry rang from the depths of the ground, and the noise grew softer and softer before it finally disappeared.

“It’s hidden so deep!”

Duan Ling Tian did not expect there to be another powerful huge demon hidden underground in Wang Yi Yuan’s test. Moreover, the powerful demon was skilled in the law of earth. Before he had time to react, it had already attacked and injured Wang Yi Yuan.

Even from a distance away, Duan Ling Tian could clearly sense Wang Yi Yuan’s vitality draining out of his body. Even Wang Yi Yuan’s soul was growing weaker and weaker.

“B-Brother Ling Tian…”

After the death of the huge demon that comprehended the law of earth, the spike it formed, which pierced Wang Yi Yuan, had also disappeared. At this moment, Wang Yi Yuan was lying on the ground.

Wang Yi Yuan looked at Duan Ling Tian with a glimmer of hope in his eyes as Duan Ling Tian quickly stepped forward and brought out healing divine pills for Wang Yi Yuan.

However, Wang Yi Yuan refused the healing divine pills and said, “It’s useless… I know my body best. I have, at most, fifteen minutes left…”

Wang Yi Yuan launched into a coughing fit, spitting out blood. At the same time, he moved with great difficulty as he brought his spatial ring out and handed it to Duan Ling Tian as he struggled to say through his coughs, “Brother Ling Tian… I’ve already… removed my ownership over this spatial ring… You likely won’t… be interested in its content… However, there’s one thing in there… I’m not sure what it is… but it may be of some help to you… If it turns out to be useful to you… I hope… I hope you can do me a favor. I’m dying… I know I can’t force you to help me… but… I hope…”
