Chapter 4227 - 4227 The Clan Leader of the Yun Clan
4227 The Clan Leader of the Yun Clan
Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically. When the glistening golden blood shot out of Yun Qing Yan’s glabella, its overwhelming pressure sent chills running up Duan Ling Tian’s spine.
At the same time, Huang’er’s panicked voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears.
“Master! Teleport away immediately!”
In fact, even before Huang’er’s warning, Duan Ling Tian had already teleported away as soon as he sensed something was amiss with the golden blood.
At the same time, the seven-colored sword ray continued to shoot toward Yun Qing Yan.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang in the air as the golden blood transformed into a tall and burly middle-aged man. The middle-aged man flicked his fingers before a streak of light shot out. The void rippled in the wake of the streak of light as it destroyed the seven-colored sword ray.
“Trying to escape?” the middle-aged man said as he raised an eyebrow. After his entire person solidified, he flicked his finger again, sending out another streak of light.
Duan Ling Tian, who had teleported twice, sensed death creeping on him, and his expression changed drastically.
“Sister Huo, Sister Water, I need your help!”
Duan Ling Tian could not help but shudder when he sensed the terrifying force from the streak of light. He knew he was incapable of blocking the attack of an advanced Supreme God. Moreover, based on the force of the attack, it was clear the other party was much stronger than an ordinary advanced Supreme God.
‘He’s Yun Qing Yan’s father, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan?’
The Yun clan was a prime supreme-rank force in the Divine Offering Land. As the clan leader of such a formidable force, it was only natural that Yun Qing Yan’s father was among the top powerhouses in the Divine Offering Land.
Duan Ling Tian had previously heard that the leaders of prime supreme-rank forces were all blessed and under the protection of supreme powerhouses. As such, they were much stronger than ordinary advanced Supreme Gods.
Boom!
The void shook as an earth-shattering explosion rang in the air. Numerous hairline cracks appeared in the void before quickly mending themselves. At the same time, the clouds in the sky dispersed as a huge churning force appeared in the sky. Mountains crumbled and collapsed as countless injured creatures stampeded and cried out, fleeing for their lives. It was as though it was the end of the world.
A huge figure in the sky exclaimed, “The Five Divine Elements? Moreover, they’re all at a high level! Alas, they can only do so much in a single attack…”
Following the figure dissipated before a tall and burly figure, which resembled the huge figure, appeared in front of Yun Qing Yan.
At the same time, the old man, who had used the Divine Energy of a supreme powerhouse to boost his Divine Energy to that of an advanced Supreme God, appeared next to Yun Qing Yn as well. Then, he quickly bowed and said, “Greetings, Clan Leader!”
The old man was extremely respectful. After all, the other party was not only the Clan Leader of the Yun clan, but the other party was also the strongest powerhouse in the Yun clan.
The tall and burly middle-aged man was about to chase after Duan Ling Tian again, but he suddenly froze. “The Divine Tree of Life?”
After a moment, the middle-aged man frowned, and his face twitched. “The Sword Dao, the Mastery Dao, the Five Divine Elements, and a complete Divine Tree of Life?”
At this time, the vital energy from Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Tree of Life had surged out of his body and merged with the vital energy from the Divine Offering Land’s Divine Tree of Life, stirring up spatial turbulence in the surroundings. The spatial turbulence prevented the middle-aged man from locking down Duan Ling Tian’s location. Otherwise, he would have long caught up to and killed Duan Ling Tian.
Yun Qing Yan’s expression was extremely dark as he said, “Father, he must die!”
The middle-aged man shook his head. “It’s impossible to catch up to him now. He’s escaped. He has many tricks up his sleeve, making it difficult for me to catch him. Let’s go home.”
The middle-aged glanced at his son and saw the dejected expression on his son’s face. He could not help but wonder about what was going through his son’s mind at this moment. After a beat, he raised his hand and brought his son and the old man away.
During the journey back to the Yun clan, the middle-aged man said nonchalantly, “Yun Chen, for my son’s sake, you used the supreme powerhouse’s Divine Energy. As such, I’ll compensate you with two strands of supreme powerhouse’s Divine Energy when we return to the clan.”
“Thank you, my lord!” the old man replied. A hint of excitement could be seen in the depths of his eyes. The gloom that hung over him after the death of his comrade was immediately dispelled. After all, they were just ordinary acquaintances.
…
“He’s too strong! I almost died!”
At this time, Duan Ling Tian had already merged with his doppelganger from the law of space and boarded the supreme-grade flying ship, which was flying at the speed of an advanced Supreme God. He sighed in relief.
Fear still lingered in his heart when he recalled his close encounter with death. He would not have survived if it were not for the Five Divine Elements and the World Cleansing Divine Water mobilizing the vital energy from the Divine Tree of Life to hide his whereabouts.
The Clan Leader of the Yun clan had appeared in an illusory form through a bloodline power. However, it only took a brief moment for his real body to appear as well.
‘I was too reckless… I should’ve known it wouldn’t be so easy to kill Yun Qing Yan. After all, he’s the heir and the Eldest Young Master of the Yun clan,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh.
At the same time, he felt sorry and guilty when he thought about the Five Divine Elements. They had just barely recovered after the previous ordeal, and yet, they were forced to exhaust all the energy they recovered and entered the slumbering state again.
Once again, Duan Ling Tian was left alone to face the challenges up ahead until they recovered again.
‘When I become a supreme powerhouse, I’ll definitely help them and set them free!’ Duan Ling Tian vowed to himself inwardly.
‘As for the Divine Tree of Life…’
Duan Ling Tian looked at the Divine Tree of Life in his Little World. The verdant and lush leaves, which emitted a rich aura previously, had withered significantly. About 10% of the leaves on the tree fell to the ground as a gust of wind blew past.
Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly, ‘The Divine Offering Land’s Divine Tree of Life was forcefully absorbing its vital energy earlier… Does it mean that the trees can’t coexist in the same place?’
When the World Cleansing Divine Water used the vital energy from the Divine Tree of Life to hide his whereabouts, the Divine Offering Land’s Divine Tree of Life, which detected the anomaly, quickly began to absorb the vital energy of Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Tree of Life. Fortunately, the World Cleansing Divine Water promptly reminded Duan Ling Tian to shut his Little World, and he managed to save his Divine Tree of Life.
Although some time had passed, fear still lingered in Duan Ling Tian’s heart. He vowed never to act recklessly and risk his life again.
‘The leaders of prime supreme-rank forces are indeed blessed and protected by supreme powerhouses. His strength is too terrifying! I would’ve died without the Five Divine Elements and the Divine Tree of Life…’
Finally, Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath to calm down. After a while, his expression eased, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
‘Although I failed to kill Yun Qing Yan, he must have been shocked out of his mind. I wonder how he felt when I injured him so badly. After all, in the past, I was nothing more than an ant from the mundane realm to him. I bet he never expected that an ant would surpass him…’
The fear in Duan Ling Tian’s heart finally receded. The humiliation he suffered at Yun Qing Yan’s hand for so many years had finally been washed away. In the past, he was just like an ant in front of Yun Qing Yan, but the tables had turned now. If it were not for Yun Qing Yan’s father, he would have already killed Yun Qing Yan.
‘Yun Qing Yan is arrogant and prideful. This setback will definitely haunt him. I hope he doesn’t die during his Heavenly Tribulation. I want to kill him with my own hands!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, feeling much better.
Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian felt his Divine Energy surging in his body. He was surprised when he discovered that he had made progress in his cultivation at this time. As soon as his humiliation was washed away, his cultivation had progressed to the last bottleneck before he broke through to the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God. It was highly likely that he would be able to break through after he consumed his third Heavenly Dao Fruit!
…
After returning to the Yun clan, Yun Qing Yan was still lost in his thoughts. The scenes of what happened earlier kept playing in his mind.
‘How’s it possible for a native of a mundane realm to raise his cultivation base to such a level in just a few hundred years? Impossible! It’s impossible,’ Yun Qing Yan tried to reassure himself, ‘It must be a trick. It’s likely that another person disguised himself as him to frighten me. Is the Xia clan behind this matter? It must be the Xia clan! Someone from the Xia clan must hate me and devised this plan to deal with me!’
“Get a hold of yourself!”
The middle-aged man’s thunderous voice pulled Yun Qing Yan back to his senses.
When Yun Qing Yan looked at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man asked with a frown, “Who did you provoke?”
Considering Duan Ling Tian managed to escape from him and possessed so many heaven-defying things, the middle-aged man knew that Duan Ling Tian’s future was limitless as long as Duan Ling Tian did not die prematurely.
