4246 Karma is a B*tch

‘Not only does it feel like my Divine Tree of Life has fully recovered, but it has also grown stronger! The vital energy in my Little World has become significantly richer!’

After leaving the natural secret realm, Duan Ling Tian looked at his Little World and discovered the changes in his Divine Tree of Life.

‘It seems my tree gained a lot from that branch of another Divine Tree of Life. Based on these changes, the other Divine Tree of Life must be in its prime…’

Duan Ling Tian was rather knowledgeable about the Divine Tree of Life. The Divine Tree of Life that he stumbled upon in the remnant of a Realm of G.o.ds contained the World Cleansing Divine Water. His abundant knowledge of the Divine Tree of Life came from the World Cleansing Divine Water.

!!

Under normal circ.u.mstances, Divine Trees of Life existed in the Little Worlds of supreme powerhouses. Only those who were incredibly fortunate like Duan Ling Tian would be able to obtain a Divine Tree of Life. With sufficient innate talent, one could become a supreme powerhouse through the Divine Tree of Life. However, this path was much harder compared to becoming a supreme powerhouse through the Five Divine Elements or the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. Speaking of which, the fastest way to become a supreme powerhouse was through the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, followed by the Five Divine Elements. As for the Divine Tree of Life and other unconventional methods, they were the slowest methods.

In the past, the World Cleansing Divine Water had said, “Even if one doesn’t have a Divine Tree of Life, one will be able to grow a Divine Tree of Life after becoming a supreme powerhouse. However, if one already has a Divine Tree of Life, after becoming a supreme powerhouse, one won’t be able to grow another Divine Tree of Life.”

After a while, Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts finally drifted away from the Divine Tree of Life.

‘Supreme powerhouses are all outstanding alchemists. It’s not surprising that most of the rewards on the Realm Battlefield are divine pills…’

Most of the rewards Duan Ling Tian and the others gained in the natural secret realm and the spatial points were divine pills.

‘Supreme powerhouses can cultivate prime divine artifacts so they must also be skilled weaponsmiths… I really gain a lot from the natural secret realm… I should enter at least another one or two secret realms after this. Based on my current progress, it shouldn’t be difficult for me to become a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d before the chaotic region opens…’

A region connected to multiple Realms of G.o.ds would open every 100 years, and it would stay open for a decade. During the ten years, the secret realms, treasures, and fortuitous encounters would be superior to the ones during normal times. As such, more people would flock to the Realm Battlefield during that time in search of fortuitous encounters.

A smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face as he recalled his time in the natural secret realm. He would have missed out on a lot if Hou Lian Yu from the Divine Offering Land’s Hou clan did not invite him to the natural secret realm.

‘I must repay Hou Lian Yu when the chance arises in the future…’

‘As for the others…’

In Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, the others, including Luo Yi Yun from the Divine Offering Land’s prime supreme-rank Luo clan, were just mere pa.s.sersby in his life.

…

Duan Ling Tian did not overexert himself after leaving the natural secret realm. When he felt like cultivating, he would find a place to cultivate. When he felt like studying the Sword Dao and the Mastery Dao, he would do so. During this time, his law of s.p.a.ce continued to improve as well thanks to the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity in his Little World.

‘Even if the owner of this Supreme Powerhouse Divinity is the weakest supreme powerhouse, his comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce must be able to manifest a phenomenon that can illuminate the lands for ten million miles… Even if he hasn’t reached the Paramount Stage, his comprehension might have reached the Perfection Stage…’

The Perfection Stage and the Paramount Stage were used to differentiate one’s comprehension of the laws. When one’s comprehension of a law had reached perfection, one would be at the Perfection Stage. However, if one comprehended all laws to perfection, one would be at the Paramount Stage.

Based on what Duan Ling Tian knew, no one had yet to reach the Paramount Stage. It was an extremely difficult feat after all to comprehend all laws to perfection.

In the past, Yang Yu Chen had said, “Since the beginning of time, no one has reached the Paramount Stage… That’s why the Paramount Stage is like a myth…’

‘One can also become a supreme powerhouse through a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. I possess many ways to become a supreme powerhouse, but I wonder which way I’ll end up using to become a supreme powerhouse. According to Sister Water, the best is to become a supreme powerhouse through the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, supreme powerhouses who mastered the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth have the strongest combat powers.’

After listening to the World Cleansing Divine Water, Duan Ling Tian naturally hoped to become a supreme powerhouse through his Sword Dao and Mastery Dao. However, nothing was certain, and he could only try his best. If he stumbled upon an easier path, he would not hesitate to take it. After all, he could continue to comprehend the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth after becoming a supreme powerhouse so it would not affect his future strength even if he used another way to become a supreme powerhouse.

‘I should acc.u.mulate more battle merits to open an individual secret realm.’

Duan Ling Tian had a clear goal of what to do next. He planned to acc.u.mulate battle merits and open an individual realm. He would trade treasures that were useless to him in the realm for other things.

Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian was also determined to become a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d before opening an individual secret realm.

…

‘No!’

Duan Ling Tian was flying above a valley on the Realm Battlefield when the void around him began to shake. Following that, an extremely strong energy surged from the valley and shrouded him in just a blink of an eye. It was so fast that he failed to teleport away in time.

‘This isn’t a human’s energy… It’s natural energy from the valley?’

Initially, Duan Ling Tian thought he was being attacked. However, after a while, he did not see anyone. As such, he concluded that it was natural energy.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian felt the energy surging before a spatial tear appeared, revealing darkness behind it. The pulling force from the black hole was so strong that he could not resist it all and was helplessly pulled into the black hole.

‘This… Am I being sent to a natural secret realm to serve as opponents for those from the Sanction Land?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly after calming down.

Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. He did not expect to be pulled into a natural secret realm to become an opponent.

‘Karma is a b*tch! It seems like I’ll have to face a group of powerhouses from the Sanction Land who are intent on killing me. They have to be advanced Emperors of G.o.ds at least, right? I’m not sure if opponents are chosen according to the strength of those who enter the natural secret realm. I only hope that those I have to face earlier aren’t intermediate Supreme G.o.ds…’

Duan Ling Tian was naturally worried that the people he had to face in the natural secret realm were intermediate Supreme G.o.ds. With his current strength, he could only kill the weakest among intermediate Supreme G.o.ds. Even then, he would be able to deal with it if a few weak intermediate Supreme G.o.ds joined forces against him.

While Duan Ling Tian was still praying fervently, the darkness receded, and his sight was restored.

‘Where am I?’

Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian heard a commotion. He looked up and saw three people surrounding him. He also saw a huge black hole that was rapidly shrinking behind them. As he continued to survey his surroundings, he found six people, standing in groups of two, below him.

“We’ve become gatekeepers of a level in a natural secret realm for those from the Sanction Land!” someone next to Duan Ling Tian exclaimed as his expression changed drastically.

The other two people who were transported to this place wore unsightly expressions on their faces as well after they discovered the predicament they were in.

Duan Ling Tian was the only one who maintained his composure. In fact, he looked fearless. This was because he had discovered that the three gatekeepers and the six people from the Sanction Land were just advanced Emperors of G.o.ds.
