Chapter 4239
4239 The Sky Ascension Fruit
Initially, the gatekeepers of the ninth level in the Sanction felt triumphant after the death of their opponent’s imminent Supreme God. Alas, they did not expect that there were another two terrifying imminent Supreme Gods among their opponents. One of them had killed their advanced Emperor of Gods who were only second to their imminent Supreme Gods, and the other one was evenly matched when fighting two of their imminent Supreme Gods at the same time.
The four remaining people from the Sanction Land were locked in a stalemate with their opponents from the Divine Offering Land for a while. When the purple-clad young man, one of the opponents’ two imminent Supreme Gods, finally killed their advanced Emperor of Gods and was no longer preoccupied, they felt waves of despair washing over them.
At the same time, the two imminent Supreme Gods who were fighting the veiled woman looked bitter when they glanced at the purple-clad young man through the corners of their eyes. Their plan had failed. They could only comfort themselves by thinking that they had at least killed one imminent Supreme God.
After killing the advanced Emperor of Gods, Duan Ling Tian teleported and reappeared near the veiled woman before he said nonchalantly, “I’ll restrain them so you can make your move.”
!!
Before the veiled woman could respond, Duan Ling Tian casually raised his right hand. A spatial storm raged around the two imminent Supreme Gods immediately.
When the two imminent Supreme Gods returned to their senses, they were already confined in a small area. They used their prominent divine artifacts and struck the spatial barrier with all their might, but it was futile. The barrier only shook for a few moments; they barely left a scratch on it. Seeing this, their expressions changed. Clearly, they were no match for Duan Ling Tian even after joining forces; he was even more powerful than the veiled woman.
Although the woman’s face was hidden by the veil, a hint of surprise could be seen in her crystal-clear eyes and her slender figure trembled imperceptibly. However, she quickly recovered her senses and made her move.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A huge wave swept toward the two men like a water dragon. Initially, they were evenly matched with the veiled woman. However, they were at a disadvantage now that they had to direct part of their energy to defend themselves against the spatial storm surrounding them. As such, in just a few breaths, they succumbed to the veiled woman.
Two beams of energy shone on the veiled woman soon after the two imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land perished.
The remaining four people from the Sanction Land were consumed by fear and lost their will to fight completely after the deaths of the two imminent Supreme Gods. As a result, they were easily suppressed by Hou Lian Yu and the others.
Duan Ling Tian and the veiled women stood at the side and silently watched as Hou Lian Yu and the others gained the upper hand and dealt with their opponents.
The veiled woman glanced at Duan Ling Tian furtively through the corners of her eyes multiple times. A hint of fear could be seen in her eyes when she looked at him. She and Jiang Yu Wei had planned to hide her strength so they would have better chances of obtaining treasures in the natural secret realm. In order to hide her strength, she also did not object when Qiu Ping suggested giving the Emperor Pill to his imminent Supreme God.
‘This is beyond my expectations…’
Initially, the veiled woman and Jiang Yu Wei were optimistic about their chances to obtain the best treasures in the natural secret realm. However, she was no longer as optimistic as before after discovering that another person had also hidden his strength. Most importantly, the other party was not weaker than her, and she was not confident about her chances if she were to fight him.
At this time, Hou Lian Yu and the others finally killed the four people from the Sanction Land. In the beginning, they were evenly matched with their opponents due to Hou Dong and Qiu Ping’s injuries. However, their opponents lost their will to fight due to the deaths of their two imminent Supremer Gods, and as a result, he and the others were able to gain the upper hand and kill them.
Soon after, four beams of energy shone down on Hou Lian Yu and the others after they killed their opponents.
After the beams of light disappeared, Hou Lian Yu flew over to Duan Ling Tian before he said with a smile, “Big Brother Duan, we could have died if you and this lady didn’t save us.”
At the same time, Jiang Yu Wei returned and stood next to the veiled woman. She looked at Duan Ling Tian warily before she turned to Hou Lian Yu and said tonelessly, “Hou Lian Yu, I underestimated you. I assumed you brought an ordinary Emperor of Gods here. I didn’t expect you to bring such a formidable imminent Supreme God.”
Hou Lian Yu said nonchalantly, “Jiang Yu Wei, I didn’t expect your friend to hide her strength so well…”
Meanwhile, Hou Dong and Qiu Ping finally understood Duan Ling Tian, Hou Lian Yu, Jiang Yu Wei, and the veiled woman did not want to leave the natural secret realm earlier. As it turned out, the quartet was confident about defeating their seven opponents from the Sanction Land.
Jiang Yu Wei looked at Hou Lian Yu and said, “The reward for this level will definitely be better than the one before. You can have the reward, but the reward for the final round belongs to us. What do you think?”
Hou Lian Yu scoffed and said with a scornful expression on his face, “Jiang Yu Wei, it seems like you’ve already planned everything. What if the final reward is better? Are you trying to take advantage of me?”
Hou Lian Yu was not a fool after all.
Jiang Yu Wei shook her head. “You can’t say that. We have no idea how difficult the final level will be… What if we can’t pass the next level and fail to get the reward? However, you’re certain to get the reward for this round.”
The scornful expression on Hou Lian Yu’s face became even more obvious when he heard Jiang Yu Wei’s words. He said, “I don’t think we’ll fail to pass the next level. How about this? You can have this round’s reward, and we’ll take the next round’s reward? We don’t mind taking the risk.”
Hou Lian Yu laughed mockingly after he finished speaking. He really wondered if Jiang Yu Wei treated him like a fool.
At the same time, Hou Dong and Qiu Ping’s expressions were rather sour. After all, they were in a very disadvantageous position now.
“Hou Dong, your clan’s Hou Lian Yu is really unreliable. He found such a formidable imminent Supreme God to help him, but he didn’t even save the helper you brought,” Qiu Ping said through Voice Transmission. He was filled with resentment, but there was nothing he could do apart from venting his anger on Hou Dong. After all, compared to Hou Lian Yu and Jiang Yu Wei, Hou Dong was a much easier target.
Hou Dong, who was seething with anger, did not tolerate Qiu Ping’s words. He said with a sneer, “Qiu Ping, it’s useless to provoke me. I won’t fall for it. It’s true that the imminent Supreme God that Hou Lian Yu didn’t save my helper… However, did your junior sister help you? Hou Lian Yu and I are mere acquaintances. In fact, we even have a small conflict between us. It’s only normal that he didn’t help me. However, you treated your junior sister so well, but she still didn’t help you. How pitiful…”
Qiu Ping’s blood boiled when he heard Hou Dong’s words. He was very close to attacking Hou Dong, but he managed to rein in his temper in the end. If he made a move at this point, it would definitely leave a bad impression on the others.
Hou Dong smiled smugly when he saw Qiu Ping was unable to do anything to him. The gloominess that lingered in his heart seemed to have been dispelled at this moment.
“Here it comes…”
Hou Dong’s eyes widened slightly as Qiu Ping instinctively raised his head.
Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian and the others saw a glowing fruit with a refreshing scent descending from the sky.
‘This is…’
Duan Ling Tian discovered that the fruit was rather similar to the Heavenly Dao Fruit he obtained in the Trial of Gods. He quickly searched his memories and identified the fruit.
‘The Sky Ascension Fruit!’
