“Under such circumstances, it’s reasonable to say that he had taken such drastic measures because he was not completely confident of his success or he was just extremely cautious. However, as it is, he was right to have made this move,” Ling Jue Yun said.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed as he looked at Ling Jue Yun and said, “Fortunately, you harvested the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits quickly. Otherwise, the fruits would have been destroyed along with the tree if you had continued to converse with me.” A hint of fear could be seen on his face when he thought about how close they had come to losing the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits!

“I was worried about something unforeseen happening. In any case, we’re the final victors!” Ling Jue Yun said with a grin. It was a rare sight to see. Then, he suggested, “Let’s find a place to consume our Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded in agreement.

The duo did not waste time and found a secluded valley nearby. They dug out a cave each as a temporary shelter while they consumed and digested the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits.

‘I’ll become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke within a month after consuming the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself excitedly as he sat cross-legged in the cave he had dug out. He had trouble containing his excitement when he thought about the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit’s power. ‘Moreover, the fruit will also help me comprehend at least six profundities from a law I’ve yet to encounter... If I’m lucky, I might be able to comprehend seven to eight profundities! I wonder what kind of law I’d be able to comprehend after consuming the fruit and becoming a Ten Directions Celestial Duke...’

After Duan Ling Tian calmed down, he took the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit out and looked at it curiously. It was blood-red as though it had been painted with blood. Dazzling bolts of lightning flashed in and out of it. It looked so much like a piece of art in his palm that he almost felt reluctant to eat it. However, its appearance, naturally, could not compare to the temptation of becoming a Ten Directions Celestial Duke and comprehending a new law. With that, he no longer wasted time and bit into the fruit. He finished eating it in just a few seconds, leaving only a tiny pit behind; the pit was also the seed of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit.

After putting the seed of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit away, he shifted his attention to regulating the power of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit that was coursing through his body. He felt a comfortable sensation all over and felt as though he was as light as a feather. There was not much he needed to do before his body would automatically absorb the fruit’s power. All he could do was wait at this moment.

While he waited, Duan Ling Tian asked the Chaos Divine Flame curiously, “Senior Chaos Divine Flame, Ling Jue Yun mentioned earlier that the Five Divine Elements won’t choose descendants of supreme powerhouses as hosts. Is it true?”

“Yes.” The Chaos Divine Flame’s explanation was similar to Ling Jue Yun’s earlier explanation. “For example, if I choose a descendant of a supreme powerhouse as a host, it’s highly likely that I’ll revert to my second form after a while. Without consuming other Chaos Divine Flames, it won’t take long before I revert to my first form. Eventually, I’d be completely absorbed and cease to exist. The power of blood truly contradicts the Five Divine Elements. However, outside the body of a descendant of a supreme powerhouse, the power of blood doesn’t have any advantage over the Five Divine Elements in a fight. As you can see, previously, during your fight Ling Jue Yun, you’re still capable of defeating him with my help even though he used the power of blood!”

Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly after listening to the Chaos Divine Flame’s explanation. When he recalled Ling Jue Yun’s words to him before they left the secret realm, he thought to himself, ‘It seems like Ling Jue Yun has mistaken me for a descendant of a supreme powerhouse.’

If Ling Jue Yun knew Duan Ling Tian was not a descendant of a supreme powerhouse, he would have felt envious of Duan Ling Tian.

“Senior, does this also mean that those who become a supreme powerhouse with the help from the Five Divine Elements aren’t descendants of supreme powerhouses?” Duan Ling Tian asked. Previously, the Chaos Divine Flame had told him one of the ways to become a supreme powerhouse was through evolving a Divine Element to its highest form. This was also the most common way to become a supreme powerhouse.

“That’s right! For this reason, descendants of supreme powerhouses rarely become supreme powerhouses themselves. In the history of heaven and earth, there were very few of them. After all, it’s much easier to become a supreme powerhouse through evolving a Divine Element. Although it’s rare, it doesn’t mean there was no one who succeeded. In the past, there were descendants of supreme powerhouses who managed to completely master one of the Four Supreme Laws and as a reward, were transformed into supreme powerhouses,” the Chaos Divine Flame replied.

Duan Ling Tian felt his horizon had been broadened again after listening to the Chaos Divine Flame’s words. At the same time, he could not help but acutely feel his insignificance when compared to a supreme powerhouse.

“I wonder if I’ll be able to become a supreme powerhouse in this life,” Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He clenched his hands tightly as his eyes flashed with hope. He thought to himself self-deprecatingly, “It’s just wishful thinking on my part... I can’t even save my wives, children, and parents now, but I’m thinking about becoming a supreme powerhouse...” He could not help but feel depressed when he thought about his loved ones.

After a while, he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply to calm down. However, based on the rhythm of his breathing, it was clear he was struggling to calm down.

...

After a day and night had passed, the five elemental auras in Duan Ling Tian’s body rippled out into his surroundings. He was now calm when he opened his eyes. He had achieved a breakthrough!

“This is the strength of a Celestial Duke?” Duan Ling Tian could clearly feel a tremendous change in his Celestial Origin Energy. His eyes lit up brightly like the stars in the night sky and his face flushed red in excitement.

Shortly after Duan Ling Tian had broken through and become a Celestial Duke, Ling Jue Yun who sat in a nearby cave opened his eyes in surprise. He had also broken through and become a Celestial Duke!

...

Meanwhile, two unwanted guests had arrived in the area where Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun had dug out caves to consume the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits.

“Leng Ye, based on the current situation, Duan Ling Tian must have come to the Jade Emperor Heaven because of that reincarnated Celestial Emperor... In my opinion, he has most likely died in the secret realm that the reincarnated Celestial Emperor created in his past life,” one of the two men said as they landed at the peak of a towering mountain.

“Let’s search for another half a month... If we still can’t find him, we’ll return to the organization,” the other man replied.

If Duan Ling Tian were here, he would have recognized one of the men, Leng Ye. He had encountered Leng Ye, an assassin from the Blood Skull Gang, outside the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate.

Leng Ye was a Nine Palaces Celestial King, and he was stronger than the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. Duan Ling Tian had managed to escape from Leng Ye all thanks to the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman that was given to him by the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that not only did the Blood Skull Gang not give up on him after he left the Spirit Overarching Heaven through a Transporting Formation, but they had even managed to investigate that he had gone to Yan Mountain in the Jade Emperor Heaven’s Equal Heaven Territory.

“The lad sure got it easy if he died in the secret realm created by that reincarnated Celestial Emperor,” Leng Ye said. He had felt deeply humiliated that a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial managed to escape under his nose. For that reason, he was determined to reduce Duan Ling Tian into ashes if he encountered Duan Ling Tian again.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Leng Ye and the other assassin continued to search through the area where Jiang Lan had created the Little World with their Divine Consciousness.

...

Three days later, the two assassins appeared above the valley where Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun were undergoing closed-door cultivation.
