Chapter 4103: Three Deaths

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The churning black hole was like a vortex, and its pulling force was terrifying. Even Duan Ling Tian, who was standing quite a distance from it, could sense the force.

“Although the Supreme Powerhouse Relic is also an independent realm, it’s different from independent realms like the one where the Inner Palace faction was located. It’s not been modified because we don’t have the ability to modify it. Even advanced Supreme G.o.ds don’t have the ability to do so. Only supreme powerhouses are capable of that,” Yang Yu Chen said. He looked at the surprised Duan Ling Tian and continued to say, “In the history of the Inner Palace faction, there have been many advanced Supreme G.o.ds. After entering, you’ll have to look for the fortuitous encounter on your own. Although I’ve entered before, my advice is useless since everyone will encounter different scenes after entering the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. As such, Eldest Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, and I suspect that the scene changes according to the person. In a way, the inside is like a dreamscape. The places we found ourselves in were quite familiar. Apart from that, there’s no need to deliberately search for the fortuitous encounter. Just go with the flow.”

Duan Ling Tian was rather surprised. He was unaware of all these things about the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. He had also a.s.sumed that Yang Yu Chen would tell him about his experience so that he would be able to gain more from the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. However, it seemed like that would be useless since everyone would encounter a different scene after entering the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. Apart from that, he also did not expect that the scene would be a place that he would be familiar with.

‘So the environment changes according to the person…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Yang Yu Chen said, “Junior brother, there’s no need to overthink things after you enter the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. Just do whatever you want. If you think too much about it, you’ll only confuse yourself. You just need to remember two things. The supreme powerhouse who left this behind comprehended the Mastery Dao and the law of time to a high level. That’s right. I forgot to tell you that death in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic isn’t real death. If you die in there, you’ll just have to return to the starting point again. The starting points are different so you won’t know which one you’ll be sent to. Saying that, don’t take dying in there lightly. After three deaths in there, you’ll be forcibly sent out. This is also the reason Fourth Junior Sister didn’t manage to comprehend the rudimentary form of the Mastery Dao. She died thrice in there quickly and was sent out.”

!!

“The environment and things that manifest themselves when you enter are related to your heart. It’ll manifest your obsessions. Perhaps, you might see members of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. If you can, kill them. Otherwise, run. Just try not to die so you can stay in there as long as possible. Based on what we learned, the longer you stay in there, the more you’ll gain from it. Among the current generation in the Inner Palace faction, Eldest Senior Sister and I stayed the longest in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. As such, we’ve both mastered the Mastery Dao. Second Senior Brother is a little weaker than us, and Fourth Junior Sister, who spent the shortest in there, is the weakest.”

Duan Ling Tian realized the importance of staying in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic after listening to Yang Yu Chen.

Lang Chun Yuan stayed for a short time in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic so she did not even comprehend the rudimentary form of the Mastery Dao. Duan Ling Tian’s Second Senior Brother stayed a little longer so he managed to comprehend the rudimentary form of the Mastery Dao. As for Yang Yu Chen and his Eldest Senior, who stayed the longest there, they both comprehended the Mastery Dao.

“Every time someone enters and exits the Supreme Powerhouse Relic, it’ll be inaccessible for a period after that since it needs time to replenish the special spiritual energy inside. Apart from that, one can only enter the Supreme Powerhouse Relic once; there’s no second entry. Hence, you must cherish your time there. Remember what I said earlier. Try to stay alive. You’ll be sent out after dying thrice. The longer you stay in there, the more you’ll gain from it,” Yang Yu Chen reminded Duan Ling Tian again.

Duan Ling Tian nodded solemnly and said, “Third Senior Brother, I understand.”

“Good,” Yang Yu Chen nodded and said, “Alright, you should go in now. When you’re sent out after dying thrice, you’ll be sent to this exact place. I’ll be waiting for you here.”

After saying that, Yang Yu Chen did not wait for Duan Ling Tian to respond before he sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian did not waste time and leaped into the churning black hole. As soon as he did so, he felt an irresistible force pulling him as his consciousness slowly faded away.

At the same time, Yang Yu Chen opened his eyes and looked at Duan Ling Tian’s disappearing figure as he muttered to himself, “I wonder how long junior brother will be able to stay in there? I managed to stay for three months and twelve days back then while Eldest Senior Sister held on for four months. Second Senior Brother only stayed for less than two months while Fourth Junior Sister only managed to stay for half a month…”

…

Duan Ling Tian naturally did not hear Yang Yu Chen. When he regained consciousness, he was stunned. He found that he was in his hometown in the mundane realm. It was the place he had appeared after his rebirth, the Li clan in Fresh Breeze Town.

Boom!

Before he could recover his senses, a thunderous explosion rang in the air. He flashed and flew up into the sky before he looked down. He discovered that the Li clan and the entire Fresh Breeze Town had been turned into ruins as rivers of blood flowed on the ground.

A black-clad man, whose face was hidden by his Divine Energy, hovered in the air. He was the person who destroyed the Heavenly Palace in the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

“It’s you!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed. Although he knew everything was an illusion, he could not help but feel slightly affected. After all, everything looked and felt real. He could even feel the wind blowing against him, making it difficult for him to distinguish between what was real and fake.

‘It’s fake. It’s just an illusion,’ Duan Ling Tian kept reminding himself inwardly.

At the same time, the black-clad man standing not far away chuckled and said, “That’s right. It’s me. Duan Ling Tian, previously, I destroyed your and your master’s doppelgangers. Today, I’m going to kill you for real!”

Following that, the black-clad man flew out as his killing intent surged.

Duan Ling Tian, who had just managed to calm down, felt his emotions stir again when he heard the man’s words. He gritted his teeth and turned to flee instead of confronting the black-clad man. He quickly cast the Double Teleportation Profundity and escaped from the black-clad man. However, he could still hear the black-clad man’s voice echoing in his ears.

“Duan Ling Tian, you can’t escape! You’re just a mere Lord of G.o.ds. You can’t escape from me. I’m an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds, after all. You can only die today!”

The voice drew closer and closer, and Duan Ling Tian continued to flee.

‘This is so real. How can it be so real?’

As Duan Ling Tian teleported away, he touched a few things in his surroundings. He could clearly feel them. Even when he pinched himself, he felt a sting.

Swoos.h.!.+

At this moment, a gust of wind blew over, and Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically. He quickly turned to the side. Following that, a seven-foot-long spear brushed past his body, leaving a scratch on him before landing on the mountain below with a loud bang.

With that, the mountain crumbled, and the ground cracked.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Duan Ling Tian looked at the crumbling mountain.

In the past, when he left the capital of the Crimson Sky Kingdom and went to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, he had pa.s.sed by this mountain. At that time, he had taken a few extra looks at the mountain, wondering when he would be able to fly above such a towering mountain and look down at the land. It was just a fleeting thought, and he quickly forgot about it after that.

He could not help but fall into a trance as he looked at the mountain and recalled the past. It felt as though he had just seen the mountain yesterday.

At this time, while Duan Ling Tian was distracted, the black-clad man laughed and cried out, “Die!”

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically. “This is bad!”

In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian saw the spear that was like a gigantic pillar now falling on him. In just a moment, he felt a sharp pain a.s.sault his body before he fell unconscious.

…

When Duan Ling Tian regained consciousness, he discovered he was no longer in his hometown in the Saint Province Realm. Instead, he was now at the gates of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

“Junior brother, what are you thinking?”

Duan Ling Tian turned to the side and saw Yang Yu Chen.

“Third Senior Brother?”

Duan Ling Tian was slightly stunned. Then, he quickly teleported away. When he reappeared, he stared at Yang Yu Chen vigilantly.
