Chapter 3456: Another G.o.d

“It’s not that just, but Ru Lai, the Great Sun Celestial Emperor, came from the same mundane realm as the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven and the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven. It’s said that they are all good friends before they even ascended to the Devata Realms.”

“Wow! If that’s true, the mundane realm they came from is truly amazing!”

“Of course! The mundane realm they came from is one of the most famous mundane realms in all Devata Realms. It’s called the Yan Huang Realm.”

“Yan Huang Realm… I’ll definitely visit that mundane realm if I have a chance.”

“You can visit all you want, but don’t do anything stupid. If you dare to do anything like the Heavenly Emperor of the Lu River Heaven did, you’ll be dead for sure…”

Although the conversations in the surroundings were not loud, Duan Ling Tian heard every word clearly due to his exceptional hearing. With that, he confirmed that Ru Lai, the Temple Master of the t.i.tle Temple in the Pavilion Shaft Heaven was the same Ru Lai that was famous on earth. However, his appearance was different from what was depicted on earth.

Shortly after, the Heavenly Emperor of Pavilion Shaft Heaven arrived as well.

Obviously, based on their consecutive arrivals, the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven, Ru Lai, the Great Sun Celestial Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor of Pavilion Shaft Heaven had come together.

Everyone watched as the trio took their seats on the same floating island.

‘Gongsun Xuanyuan…’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes quickly found the Heavenly Emperor of Pavilion Shaft Heaven. He had been eager to meet Gongsun Xuanyuan who was not only a legendary figure on earth but also his master’s past opponent. Finally, he was able to see Gongsun Xuanyuan today.

After the trio’s arrival, a few more Heavenly Emperors arrived. However, they did not cause too big of a commotion since they were not ranked in the top ten of the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors ranking.

After a while, the crowd was stirred up again.

“That’s Heavenly Emperor Di Huang from the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven! He’s ranked sixth on the Heavenly Emperors ranking!”

“Heavenly Emperor Di Huang is from the Qilin Clan. He is a divine beast, the Chaos Divine Qilin! Moreover, he’s born with the Chaos Divine Flame that’s one of the Five Divine Elements!”

“I’ve met that man behind Heavenly Emperor Di Huang once when I was with my seniors. He’s the Clan Leader of the Ten Thousand Beast Heaven’s Qilin clan, Di Hong!”

Apart from being ranked sixth on the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors ranking, Di Huang was one of the few in the Devata Realms who was known to possess a Divine Element. Even G.o.ds would be moved by any of the Five Divine Elements, let alone celestials from Devata Realms. Although there were quite a few people who were stronger than Di Huang, none of them dared to openly s.n.a.t.c.h the Chaos Divine Flame from him. This was because of the existence of a supreme powerhouse from the Qilin clan. If something were to happen to Di Huang, the clan’s supreme powerhouse would definitely intervene. After all, the supreme powerhouse had left a mark on Di Huang. If anything were to happen to Di Huang, the supreme powerhouse would find out immediately. With this, who would dare to openly challenge Di Huang for the Chaos Divine Flame?

Supreme powerhouses were even stronger than G.o.ds. With just a flick of their fingers, they could easily kill a G.o.d, let alone the celestials from the Devata Realms. It would not take any effort at all for them to kill the strongest t.i.tled Celestial Emperor, a Nine Star G.o.d of War.

‘So the Chaos Divine Qilin possesses the Chaos Divine Flame.’ Duan Ling Tian looked at Di Huang warily. Fortunately, Feng Qing Yang had reminded him to sever the connection between his Little World and the outside world to completely hide his Five Divine Elements’ auras. Otherwise, Di Huang would definitely be able to sense the auras. Even if Di Huang could not s.n.a.t.c.h his Five Divine Elements away due to his master’s presence, who knew if Du Huang would ask for help from the Qilin clan’s supreme powerhouse? His master could not contend with a supreme powerhouse at this time.

If the others could hear Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts, they would laugh at him for thinking too much. Supreme powerhouses did not usually intervene in the lives of celestials. Perhaps, they would protect one or two descendants they valued. Even if they protected one or two of their descendants, they would not actively intervene in everyday affairs. So long as the Qilin clan was not completely destroyed, it was likely that the clan’s supreme powerhouse would not intervene at all. For example, if Di Hong died, the clan’s supreme powerhouse would not act at all. It was a different story if it was Di Huang facing death. Nevertheless, the clan’s supreme powerhouse would not intervene in Di Huang’s growth even if he cared about Di Huang. For this reason, it was impossible for the clan’s supreme powerhouse to help Di Huang s.n.a.t.c.h the Five Divine Elements from another person.

Unless necessary, supreme powerhouses would not interfere in celestials and G.o.ds’ lives. Even if they had their own agendas, they knew when to draw the line.

Following Di Huang’s arrival, a few Heavenly Emperors who were ranked in the top 10 of the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors ranking arrived as well, catching everyone’s attention.

After that, almost everyone’s attention was focused on the Heavenly Emperors who ranked first and second on the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors ranking; the only two Heavenly Emperors who were ranked ahead of Feng Qing Yang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

“If the Heavenly Emperor who’s ranked second doesn’t reveal his strength by the end of the Battle of the geniuses, it’s likely that the legendary Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven will rise to the second place…”

“That’s right. Previously, both of them were only rumored to have attained G.o.dhood. However, today, Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang has proven the rumor true. If the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Barren Heaven doesn’t prove that he’s also a G.o.d, his place on the ranking will be taken over Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang.”

“You’re wrong… Even if proves that he’s a G.o.d, he’ll still rank third. After all, since Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang confirmed his status as a G.o.d first, the second place will go to him. The only way for him to retain second place is to defeat Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang in a duel.”

The crowd’s excitement and the commotion seemed to reach their peak with the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Gift Heaven and the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Barren Heaven who was ranked first and second respectively on the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors ranking. Excited shouts and exclamations rang in the air thunderously.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Great Barren Heaven was a tall and burly middle-aged man with a square and determined face. At this moment, he looked at Feng Qing Yang and said with a smile, “Heavenly Emperor Feng, it seems like you’ll be replacing me on the Heavenly Emperors ranking after today.”

“Heavenly Emperor Kong, you’re welcome to take back the position when you see fit,” Feng Qing Yang replied with a smile as well.

Everyone’s eyes brightened upon hearing these words. How could they not be excited?

Kong Ji, the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Barren Heaven, laughed and said in a carefree manner, “I don’t care much about rankings to be honest…” Then, he looked at Feng Qing Yang again and said, “Heavenly Emperor Feng, since you’ve exposed your cultivation base. I’m afraid the t.i.tle Temple will demand you step down from your position as the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.”

After Kong Ji finished speaking, he looked at the few t.i.tle Temples meaningfully.

Feng Qing Yang replied nonchalantly, “I’m also looking forward to the day the t.i.tle Temple sends their powerhouse to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven…”

The t.i.tle Temple had prohibited those who became G.o.ds from holding onto their positions as Heavenly Emperors of Devata Realms. Usually, they would send a powerhouse of their own to challenge the Heavenly Emperor who had attained G.o.dhood. Following the defeat of the Heavenly Emperor, they would let other t.i.tled Celestial Emperors fight for the position of the Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm. Naturally, this was only if the t.i.tle Temple’s powerhouse was able to defeat the Heavenly Emperor who had become a G.o.d.

“It seems like Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang is very confident… I’ll be paying attention to the development of this matter then,” Kong Ji said with a quick smile when he regained his senses. He had been briefly stunned by Feng Qing Yang’s words. He did not expect Feng Qing Yang to be so confident.

On the other hand, the Temple Masters of the t.i.tle Temple branches in various Devata Realms frowned slightly. Some of their gazes turned cold when they looked at Feng Qing Yang. Most of them thought Feng Qing Yang had grown too arrogant after attaining G.o.dhood and needed to be taught a lesson.

At this moment, a clear voice that radiated righteousness rang in the air.

“Amitabha.”

Following that, Ru Lai, the Temple Master of the t.i.tle Templer in the Pavilion Shaft Heaven’s t.i.tle Temple and the Great Sun Celestial Emperor, rose to his feet with his palms joined together. He said to Feng Qing Yang, “After the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses ends, I wish to challenge you to a duel in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven…”

These words caused everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, to break out in another commotion. All of them could hear the implications of Ru Lai’s words.

“Does this mean Ru Lai has attained G.o.dhood as well?!”

“Obviously! Otherwise, do you think he can be so confident when challenging Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang who has attained G.o.d?”

“Heavens! There’s another G.o.d among us!”

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Gift Heaven, who was ranked first on the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors ranking and had confirmed his status as a G.o.d a few thousand years ago, laughed. His eyes glinted as he looked at Feng Qing Yang and Ru Lai and said, “Please inform me when both of you are going to duel. I’d like to witness it…”
