Chapter 3553: The Second True Disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven
“Our Vice Alliance Leader, the Purple-clad n.o.bleman, is also the only true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven!”
“It’s unimaginable that someone less than 1,000 years old possesses the strength of a top Seven Star G.o.d of War during the time he partic.i.p.ated in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses!”
“It’s unprecedented in the history of all Devata Realms! Perhaps, only those young geniuses from the Realms of G.o.ds would be a match for him.”
…
Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of the commotion he had caused after joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Even those who had just joined the alliance after pa.s.sing the recruitment test were shocked when they learned about the Purple-clad n.o.bleman’s ident.i.ty.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was fully immersed in his cultivation. He wanted to attain G.o.dhood in the shortest time possible and to deepen his comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce and the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to increase his strength.
In just a blink of an eye, half a year had pa.s.sed since Duan Ling Tian had joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance. During this time, he only stayed in the barren valley.
Apart from those who pa.s.sed the previous recruitment test, Shangguan Yun Feng, the Leader of the Alliance, and Meng Shan, the seventh Guardian of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, no one had seen Duan Ling Tian at all during this time.
During the past six months, news of Duan Ling Tian joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance and his ident.i.ty had also spread far and wide in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. Similar to those in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, everyone was shocked.
Everyone, except those who were in closed-cultivation, in the Nine Serenities Battlefield had heard about Duan Ling Tian.
As the Purple-clad n.o.bleman, Duan Ling Tian had gained fame in the Nine Serenities Battlefield’s Nine Eastern Regions. However, currently, his fame had even surpa.s.sed that of Shangguan Yun Feng, the former strongest powerhouse in the Nine Eastern Regions. Currently, Duan Ling Tian had already replaced Shangguan Yun Feng as the strongest powerhouse in the Nine Eastern Regions!
“It’s not just the Nine Eastern Territories, but no one in the eastern region is a match for the legendary Heavenly Emperor’s peerless true disciple!”
“A top Eight Star G.o.d of War… I don’t think there’s any top Eight Star G.o.ds of War in the eastern region, right?”
Duan Ling Tian’s fame was not restricted to the Nine Eastern Regions alone; it had spread to the entire eastern region.
…
“The Leader of the Autumn Cloud Alliance, Yun Lun, hopes to meet Duan Ling Tian, the Vice Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Young Master of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.”
“The Leader of Xiao Alliance, Xiao Luo Ye, hopes to meet the Vice Alliance Leader.”
As news of Duan Ling Tian’s ident.i.ty spread, many leaders of various alliances wanted to meet Duan Ling Tian. Alas, none of them was able to meet Duan Ling Tian. Shangguan Yun Feng, the Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, could not refuse some of the leaders’ requests since they were rather strong. Hence, he had no choice but to lead them to the barren valley. However, these leaders were personally rejected by Duan Ling Tian at the entrance of the valley.
With this, news of Duan Ling Tian’s refusal to meet anyone began to spread, and the number of people visiting the Heavenly Dao Alliance to meet Duan Ling Tian began to decrease as well.
…
At this time, Meng Shan, the seventh Guardian of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, asked Shangguan Yun Feng, “Leader, are they here to poach our Vice Leader away?”
Shangguan Yun Feng nodded. “Isn’t it obvious? Even if they fail to recruit him, it’s still beneficial for them to get acquainted with him…”
While Shangguan Yun Feng and Meng Shan were conversing, a thunderous voice rang from outside the base of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
“I’m Wu Long, the second true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven. I’m here to meet your Vice Leader, Duan Ling Tian. I want to challenge him to a duel to see if he’s as strong as rumored!”
Shangguan Yun Feng and Meng Shan’s expressions changed slightly upon hearing these words. They were confused. Wu Long, the second true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven who was also the second Leader of the Given Alliance, was supposed to be in the center of the Nine Serenities Battlefield, after all. Did he come all this way to the eastern region of the Nine Serenities Battlefield just to challenge Duan Ling Tian?
“Leader, what should we do?” Meng Shan asked with a wry smile. Then, he added, “A few years ago, I heard rumors that Wu Long is already as strong as a top Eight Star G.o.d of War…”
“This isn’t something we can deal with.” Shangguan Yun Feng smiled wryly as well. “I really regret not doing anything when news of the Young Master’s ident.i.ty and strength leaked. Let’s go and meet the second true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Palace.”
When the duo arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Dao Alliance base, they saw two figures hovering in the air.
The person standing in the lead was a tall and burly young man dressed in a long green robe. He looked masculine and dignified with his distinct brows. Meanwhile, the person who stood behind him was a skinny old man dressed in a grey robe. Despite his elderly appearance, he looked energetic, and his eyes were piercing even more so than some people younger than him.
“Greetings, Leader Wu Long,” Shangguan Yun Feng greeted Wu Long as he bowed at the young man. He had no trouble identifying the second true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven who was also the second Leader of the Given Alliance in the heart of the Nine Serenities Battlefield.
The Given Alliance was the strongest force in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. It was founded by the first true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven. Rumor had it that the founder and the first Leader of the Given Alliance, also Wu Long’s senior brother, was a demi-G.o.d, a Nine Star G.o.d of War.
“Call Duan Ling Tian out,” Wu Long said.
“Leader Wu Long,” Shangguan Yun Feng said with a hint of anxiousness, “The Young Master isn’t meeting anyone now; he’s in closed-door cultivation. I’ll inform him of this matter and suggest he meets you at the Given Alliance once he emerges from his closed-door cultivation. Is this okay?”
Even if Shangguan Yun Feng was a match for Wu Long, he would not dare to provoke Wu Long. After all, it was akin to provoking the Given Alliance, one of the strongest forces in the Nine Serenities Battlefield.
Wu Long narrowed his eyes upon hearing Shangguan Yun Feng’s words. Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he said threateningly, “You have 15 minutes to bring Duan Ling Tian here. Otherwise, I’ll annihilate the Heavenly Dao Alliance. You should know I’m capable of doing so…”
Shangguan Yun Feng and Meng Shan paled as soon as they heard these words.
In the end, Shangguan Yun Feng had no choice but to say, “Please wait for a moment, Leader Wu Long. I’ll go and fetch the Young Master.”
Without wasting time, Shangguan Yun Feng led Meng Shan back into the Heavenly Dao Alliance base.
Meng Shan said in a trembling voice, “Leader, Wu Long is too outrageous! How could he threaten the Heavenly Dao Alliance!”
Shangguan Yun Feng sighed helplessly. “The Heavenly Dao Alliance is not different from a speck of dust in his eyes…”
The Heavenly Dao Alliance might be the strongest in the Nine Eastern Territories in the eastern region, but it was nothing compared to the forces in the central region, let alone the Given Alliance that was one of the strongest forces in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. It would be easy for the Given Alliance to annihilate the Heavenly Dao Heaven.
“Young Master?”
When Shangguan Yun Feng finally arrived at the entrance of the barren valley, he saw a purple-clad figure hovering in the air, looking at him quietly.
