4380 A Peerless Prodigy Among the group of prodigies imprisoned by the Crimson Demon, Peng Pu Sha was definitely not among the strongest. His strength was ranked somewhere in the upper middle. Previously, Peng Pu Sha fought a personal demon guard of the Crimson Demon. After a hundred moves, he fell into a disadvantageous position, and after three hundred moves, he was defeated. The personal demon guard could be considered a top advanced Supreme God, In the Myriad Worlds, he was strong enough to support a powerful force on his own. Due to Peng Pu Sha’s previous fight, many prodigies did not think Duan Ling Tian was a match for Peng Pu Sha. However, just before they entered the secret realm, a seven-colored sword ray suddenly appeared in the range of Peng Pu Sha’s attack. !! Swoosh! The sword ray, which was brimming with vital energy and the intertwined energies of the Five Divine Elements, shot out and easily destroyed Peng Pu Sha’s attack. Under the horrified gazes of the others, the sword ray then shot toward Peng Pu Sha like the Grim Reaper’s scythe. “Impossible!” Peng Pu Sha roared as he hastily retreated. Unfortunately, he had only retreated a certain distance away before he was stopped by the barrier that Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu erected to prevent Duan Ling Tian from dodging his attack. “Hurry up and withdraw the barrier!” Peng Pu Sha shouted anxiously as he looked at Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s earlier attack, he knew without a doubt that he was no match for Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian was so strong that he easily destroyed his attack. In the past, when Peng Pu Sha fought the Crimson Demon’s personal demon guard, he had never felt such terrible pressure. One had to know that the personal demon guard was a top advanced Supreme God. At this moment, he knew that Duan Ling Tian, who was just an intermediate Supreme God, definitely possessed the strength of a stronger top advanced Supreme God. There was also a difference in strength between top advanced Supreme Gods. If the Crimson Demon’s personal demon guard was among the weakest top advanced Supreme Gods, then Duan Ling Tian’s strength now was close to the strongest top advanced Supreme Gods. As such, how could Peng Pu Sha be a match for him? Meanwhile, Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu were so startled by Duan Ling Tian’s display of strength that they failed to react in time to Peng Pu Sha’s words. Although only a moment had passed before they returned to their senses, just as they began to remove the barrier, the seven-colored sword ray brimming with a strong vital energy and the Five Divine Elements’ energies were already drawing close to Peng Pu Sha. Although Peng Pu Sha was panicking, he did not lose his composure completely and quickly defended against the attack. After all, he was also an experienced and outstanding advanced Supreme God. At this time, Peng Pu Sha had already expected to be injured. He quickly made up his mind. He would try his best to defend himself against Duan Ling Tian’s attack before he tried to escape into the secret realm. It did not matter even if he was injured. After all, he might still have a chance to escape death in the secret realm. Based on his plan, it was clear that he had completely acknowledged that Duan Ling Tian was much stronger than him despite only being an intermediate Supreme God. At this time, Duan Ling Tian continued to advance toward Peng Pu Sha. At the same time, he looked at Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu indifferently, “After I kill him, it’ll be your turn next.” Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu’s expressions changed as soon as they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. “Let’s escape!” 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖 Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu exchanged a look before they decisively fled toward the secret realm. Since Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu stopped in the midst of the process of withdrawing the barrier, it would take a certain amount of time for the barrier to dissipate on its own. Under such circumstances, Peng Pu Sha, who had already planned his escape, felt the barrier at his back and looked at Duan Ling Tian with an expression of despair. ‘It’s too late!’ Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian’s fierce sword ray broke through Peng Pu Sha’s last defense and killed Peng Pu Sha. When Peng Pu Sha died, Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu had just arrived at the entrance of the secret realm. Their expressions changed into one of regret upon witnessing Peng Pu Sha’s death. If they had known the newcomer was so strong, they would not have dared to provoke him. After all, they only dared to do so because they were confident about defeating the other party. “Run!” After witnessing Peng Pu Sha’s death, the duo no longer dared to hesitate. They quickly turned around and entered the secret realm, disappearing before everyone’s eyes. Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian only collected Peng Pu Sha’s prominent divine artifact after he killed Peng Pu Sha. Peng Pu Sha’s spatial ring had self-destructed upon his death, and its contents were swept into the turbulent space. It would be like searching for a needle in a haystack to look for the contents. Not long after Peng Pu Sha died, Ao Long Yu and Tian Hu’s barrier completely disappeared as well. The group of prodigies, who were about to enter the secret realm before they stopped to watch the fight again, looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock. Only a few breaths passed from the moment Peng Pu Sha attacked to the moment he died, and in just a few breaths, their impression of the newcomer changed completely. Even Wang Yi Yuan, who stood up for Duan Ling Tian, was looking at Duan Ling Tian with a shocked expression on his face. When he thought about how he had wanted to protect Duan Ling Tian earlier, his face flushed red from embarrassment and a wry smile appeared on his face. With Duan Ling Tian’s strength, Duan Ling Tian did not need his protection at all. Even if Peng Pu Sha, Ao Long Yu, and Tian Hu attacked Duan Ling Tian at the same time, they might not be a match for Duan Ling Tian. When one’s strength reached a certain level, and the difference in strength between one and one’s opponents was substantial, it was almost impossible to win through numbers. In this regard, quality trumped quantity. “They ran away pretty fast,” Duan Ling Tian said with a sneer as he looked at the entrance of the secret realm. He was not one to look for trouble, but it did not mean he was afraid of trouble. If someone offended him, they would have to pay the price. ‘I hope the both of you don’t die in the secret realm,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. At this time, Wang Yi Yuan said, “Brother Ling Tian, the time’s almost up. There are only a dozen or so breaths left.” Duan Ling Tian smiled at Wang Yi Yuan amiably upon hearing these words before he flew toward the secret realm. From the beginning to the end, Duan Ling Tian was not worried about angering the Crimson Demon after killing Peng Pu Sha. This was because he knew the Crimson Demon would not intervene. When he had just arrived, he had learned from Wang Yi Yuan that the Crimson Demon did not care if the prodigies fought among themselves. If one was killed, in the Crimson Demon’s eyes, it only meant that one was incompetent and was not worthy of becoming his new body. As such, neither Duan Ling Tian nor Peng Pu Sha was worried when they fought each other. Seeing that Duan Ling Tian had entered the secret realm, Wang Yi Yuan also followed suit. A bitter smile could be seen on his face as he thought to himself, ‘Earlier, I reminded Brother Ling Tian to be careful… However, it seems like my reminder is redundant. With Brother Ling Tian’s strength, unless the Crimson Demon makes a move, it’s not difficult for him to survive the secret realm.’ Although the challenges in the secret realm were not all aimed to test one’s strength, having great strength still gave one the advantage. In Wang Yi Yuan’s memory, there was only one top advanced Supreme God who had died in the secret realm. After Duan Ling Tian and Wang Yi Yuan entered the secret realm, the others returned to their senses as well and entered the secret realm. At the same time, they discussed fervently among themselves. “I really didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian to be so powerful!” “How’s he so powerful? Although his comprehension of the law of space is profound, it has yet to reach the perfect form. However, his Sword Dao is very strong!” “Although his Sword Dao is strong, it’s impossible for it to boost his strength to such an extent. Didn’t you sense the abnormality in his energy earlier when he attacked? He had help…” “That’s right! I sensed the energies of the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements!” The prodigies were very knowledgeable, and a few of them also possessed a Divine Element. Those who possessed the Divine Elements were warned by their respective Divine Elements as well and told that Duan Ling Tian was not someone they could afford to provoke. “It’s the Five Divine Element’s energies. His Divine Elements aren’t any weaker than I am. It’s impossible for his Chaos Divine Earth to devour me, but with the help of the other Divine Elements, I stand no chance at all. Remember, don’t provoke him! If you do, I won’t help you. I can’t afford to provoke him. To be precise, I can’t afford to provoke his Five Divine Elements.” “If it’s not necessary, don’t provoke him. The fact that Five Divine Elements chose him as their host shows how talented he is. If there’s no accident, it’s likely that the Crimson Demon will choose him in the end. What a pity that such an outstanding prodigy is going to be possessed… If the Crimson Demon possesses him, the Crimson Demon might be able to achieve much more than he was able to in his original body… I wonder if that prodigy will meet the Crimson Demon’s other requirements. There’s no need to feel dissatisfied. It’s definitely not a good thing to be possessed by the Crimson Demon. However, it’s also a fact that you’re nowhere as talented as he is. At least, I won’t coexist with another Divine Element in your body. It won’t be easy to find a host with your talent, but it’s not impossible. Not everyone is a peerless prodigy like him…”
