4371 The Crimson Demons Motives

Upon hearing the Crimson Demons words, Duan Ling Tians heart skipped a beat. However, he quickly regained his composure. This was because he knew that the Crimson Demon would have killed him earlier if the Crimson Demon truly wanted him dead.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. He naturally noticed the loophole in the Crimson Demons words earlier, but he did not dare to say anything. In the end, he inhaled deeply before he raised his head to look at the Crimson Demon and say solemnly, Senior, you couldve killed me earlier as soon as I stepped foot out of Crimson Demon Ridge. May I ask what it is you need from me? Ill do my best to cooperate as long as its within my capabilities.

The Crimson Demon smiled. How courageous. Youre right. I have no intention of killing you. I should say that killing you doesnt benefit me at all. Im here for a different matter. Rest a.s.sured. I wont make you stay in Crimson Demon Ridge and turn you into my puppet

Duan Ling Tian continued to look at the Crimson Demon even though his heart was racing in his chest.

!!

There must be a catch, right, senior? Duan Ling Tian asked. He naturally knew the Crimson Demon did not come to him just to tell him these things.

Thats right, the Crimson Demon said as he nodded, I want to send you to a place. If youre able to survive, you can consider it a fortuitous encounter. You can refuse me, but the consequence is death.

Duan Ling Tians expression changed upon hearing the Crimson Demons words. He naturally knew the Crimson Demon must have a reason for doing this. He took a deep breath before he asked, Senior, may I know what kind of place you plan to send me to? What kind of fortuitous encounter is there?

Youll find out when youre there, the Crimson Demon said unhurriedly, Its an independent realm outside of the Outer Boundary. Dont even think of escaping once youre there. If I catch you trying to break the spatial barrier there to escape, I wont hesitate to kill you immediately. I trust a smart person like you wont take such risks, right?

Duan Ling Tians expression darkened when he heard the Crimson Demons words.

Tell me. Whats your decision? Youll have to choose between death and going to that independent realm, the Crimson Demon said.

Ill go to the independent realm, Duan Ling Tian replied without any hesitation.

The Crimson Demon smirked. Excellent choice! Youre a true prodigy!

As soon as his voice fell, the Crimson Demon raised his hand.

Duan Ling Tian felt the void shaking before he was overwhelmed by an energy that stopped him from mobilizing his Divine Energy, making him feel helpless. The power of a supreme powerhouse far exceeded his expectations. He thought to himself, The Crimson Demon might not be an ordinary supreme powerhouse

This was Duan Ling Tians final thought before he lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, the Crimson Demon looked at the unconscious Duan Ling Tian who was suspended in midair by his energy with bright eyes. He muttered to himself, I hope this boy will be able to survive my cultivation plan Hes the best candidate I found so far.

Subsequently, the Crimson Demon brought Duan Ling Tian with him and vanished into thin air.

After a while, the Crimson Demon arrived in a remote valley near the Crimson Demon Ridge. He waved his air, and a spatial tear appeared in the void.

Now, go Perhaps, youre my last hope, the Crimson Demon murmured as he sent the unconscious Duan Ling Tian into the spatial tear, Although many years have pa.s.sed, I refuse to just wait and die

As soon as he finished speaking, the Crimson Demons body trembled slightly. He held his chest and coughed out two mouthfuls of blood. The blood was quickly dissipated by his Divine Energy.

If Duan Ling Tian had witnessed this, he would have been able to tell that the supreme powerhouse was seriously injured internally. Under normal circ.u.mstances, this level of injury had to be inflicted by a supreme powerhouse more powerful than the Crimson Demon or by a few supreme powerhouses on par with the Crimson Demon. There was also a possibility that the injury was caused by another reason. Perhaps, the Crimson Demon was injured in a highly dangerous place outside of the Outer Boundary, or perhaps, the Crimson Demon was injured by the Time Heavenly Tribulation that happened once every 10,000 years. It was similar to the Heavenly Tribulations that cultivators under the realm of supreme powerhouses had to go through once every 1,000 years. Even supreme powerhouses could not avoid the Heavenly Tribulation. Needless to say, similar to the Heavenly Tribulation, the Time Heavenly Tribulation would only get increasingly strong.

Although supreme powerhouses were powerful, they would eventually succ.u.mb to the Heavenly Tribulation with the pa.s.sage of time. No one knew the origins of the Heavenly Tribulation; they only knew it was unavoidable.

In the G.o.d Defying World, all cultivators knew that they would have to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation after reaching a certain level. Many cultivators tried to escape the Heavenly Tribulation by fleeing to the lower realms. However, they all discovered that it was futile; they could not avoid the Heavenly Tribulation at all. Moreover, the strength of natives of Realms of G.o.ds would be suppressed in the lower realms, lowering their chances of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation. With this, they stopped trying to escape to the lower realms.

When Duan Ling Tian regained consciousness, he found himself in a desolate mountain range. It was extremely quiet, and there were no signs of life at all.

Duan Ling Tian staggered slightly after rising to his feet.

Where am I? The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here is much richer than the Outer Boundary According to the Crimson Demon, this is an independent realm outside of the Outer Boundary and that there are fortuitous encounters here. Theres no doubt that this place is dangerous. I have to learn more about this place before searching for fortuitous encounters. There must be a catch somewhere. Its impossible for him to have no hidden motive for sending me here. Although this place might benefit me, theres no doubt itll benefit him as well. Is he planning to use me to obtain some treasure here? Perhaps, supreme powerhouses cant enter this place. Well, as long as Im able to preserve my life, he can have whatever he wants. I have no choice but to become his errand boy since Im no match for him. This is how the world is. Is this karma? Back on the Realm Battlefield, everyone had no choice but to follow my orders since they were no match for me

Duan Ling Tian was certain that the Crimson Demon wanted something from this place. He did not care about that; what he cared about was his life.

I hope the Crimson Demon will stop pestering me after he gets what he wants. I hope hell let me go

Duan Ling Tian kept his spirits high despite feeling a little uneasy. He flew into the air and surveyed his surroundings before he wandered aimlessly, searching for signs of human activities. However, as time pa.s.sed, he still did not see any signs of life after traveling for 10,000 miles. He did not even see a single plant in this desolate independent realm.
