Duan Ling Tian naturally was unaware that his master, Feng Qing Yang, had left the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Asura Realm, and returned to the Solitary Destructive Heaven and took over the Heavenly Emperor Palace there. He was also unaware that his master had destroyed the main Title Temple and the realm that housed it to avenge him for what he had suffered in the past. Wu Hong Qing was so frightened that he had fled, only leaving two doppelgangers behind in the realm.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was focused on comprehending the law of space. His comprehension had deepened a lot.

“The improvement in my law of space will also positively affect my Mastery Dao. The more I comprehend, the stronger my Mastery Dao will be. Nonetheless, it’ll still be difficult for me to raise my Mastery Dao to the next stage.”

Even when Duan Ling Tian was in the Devata Realm, he already knew that the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth were divided into stages. The rudimentary stage was the first stage.

So far, Duan Ling Tian had displayed his Sword Dao at the rudimentary stage to outsiders. Hence, everyone assumed he had comprehended the Sword Dao to the rudimentary stage.

After the rudimentary stage was the initial stage. At this stage, one could control the Daos with ease.

At the mastery stage, one could easily mobilize the Daos, and one’s body would emit the Dao as well.

Feng Qing Yang’s Dao had already reached the mastery stage.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Duan Ling Tian had already comprehended the Sword Dao to the initial stage. Not only that, but he had also comprehended the Mastery Dao to the initial stage. Alas, he had been at the initial stage for many years and did not improve since he came to the Realm of Gods. After all, not only was it difficult to comprehend the Daos, but he was also clueless.

According to Feng Qing Yang, there were other stages after the mastery stage since he had already touched the threshold of the next stage. However, since Duan Ling Tian’s stage was quite low, he did not delve too deep into the matter.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and focused on comprehending the law of space again.

“If I can deepen my comprehension again, my law won’t be any weaker than that of a White Dragon Elder. There’s a chance that it might even surpass a few of the White Dragon Elders with weaker comprehension.”

…

Time passed, and the seasons changed. In just a blink of an eye, two years had passed.

The Imperial War between the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect was still in full swing.

The battles on the King Battlefield were still as intense as ever. Kings of Gods would perish every so often, and there was no lack of advanced Kings of Gods among them.

As for the Lord Battlefield, after Duan Ling Tian left, only a few rudimentary Lords of Gods, from both the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect, had perished.

…

Tai Yi City.

A young man was slowly walking toward the entrance that led to the Lord Battlefield.

“It’s Ximen Long Xiang!”

“I saw him earlier. At that time, I wondered if he had broken through! It seems like he’s really broken through!”

“He’s going to enter the Lord Battlefield as soon as he broke through! So he’s following in the footsteps of Duan Ling Tian?”

“Bah! Senior Brother Ximen is a peerless prodigy of our Tai Yi Sect. How can you compare him to Duan Ling Tian?”

“Hey, do you think Senior Brother Ximen will be able to kill anyone after he enters the Lord Battlefield?”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ximen Long Xiang, the peerless prodigy of Tai Yi Sect who had slaughtered many Flying Dragon Sect’s Kings of Gods on the King Battlefield, entered the Lord Battlefield.

…

News of Ximen Long Xiang entering the Lord Battlefield quickly spread to the Flying Dragon Sect.

“Ximen Long Xiang had a breakthrough?”

“He entered the Lord Battlefield as soon as he broke through. Is he planning to challenge Duan Ling Tian?”

“Challenge Duan Ling Tian? What qualifications does he have to do so? Senior Brother Duan killed two inner elders of the Tai Yi Sect when he entered the Lord Battlefield!”

“That’s right! Although it was due to luck, luck is also considered to be one’s strength. Luck plays a big part in battles as well. If you’re lucky, even if your opponent is slightly stronger than you, there’s still a chance that you can win! No one can deny your victory even if it’s due to luck!”

“Senior Brother Duan’s performance on the King Battlefield was insane! Because of him, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect had to visit our sect to discuss banning Senior Brother Duan and Ximen Long Xiang from the King Battlefield! However, since our sect leader agreed with the ban, this also shows that Ximen Long Xiang isn’t much weaker than Senior Brother Duan.”

“Ha! I can’t wait to see Ximen Long Xiang’s performance on the Lord Battlefield.”

With that, many people from the Flying Dragon Sect began to pay attention to the news from the Lord Battlefield.

…

Duan Ling Tian and Ximen Long Xiang were the only ones in the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect respectively who had broken through but were not elders of their respective sects.

After all, during the Imperial War, no one would pay attention to such a trivial matter. Moreover, the duo also did not care about titles.

Everyone’s attention was also focused on the three battlefields in the Imperial War Realm.

There were battles every day on the King Battlefield, and there were fewer battles on the Lord Battlefield even if there were many Lords of Gods there.

As for the Quasi Emperor Battlefield, only a few people from the Flying Dragon Sect and Tai Yi Sect had entered it. No one knew if they had met or fought. Unless someone died, it was unlikely for outsiders to know about what happened inside.

…

A month later, an outer elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, who was a rudimentary Lord of Gods, died. No one thought much about it, let alone attributed his death to Ximen Long Xiang.

Another two months passed, and an inner deacon of the Flying Dragon Sect, who was also a rudimentary Lord of Gods, died. On the same day, another inner deacon, who was also a rudimentary Lord of Gods, died as well.

Everyone in the Flying Dragon Sect knew that the two inner deacons were good friends. The duo had even entered the Lord Battlefield together.

“I wonder if one person killed them or a group of people killed them?”

“It’s unlikely for Lords of Gods to form huge groups on the Lord Battlefield. At most, there are groups of two or three Lords of Gods.

Just when this matter died down after half a month, another piece of news came.

An outer elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, who was rudimentary Lord of Gods, had died.

In less than four months, four rudimentary Lords of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect had died.

…

Another half a month passed.

Ximen Long Xiang exited the Lord Battlefield and went to Peace City’s War Point Pavilion. He brought out four identity tokens to exchange for war points.

With this, it was easy to make the connection.

In the past four months, the Flying Dragon Sect had lost four rudimentary Lords of Gods, and now, Ximen Long Xiang brought four identity tokens after coming out from the Lord Battlefield.

The Tai Yi Sect was in high spirits.

In contrast, it was quiet in the Flying Dragon Sect.

After all, Ximen Long Xiang, who had just broken through and became a rudimentary Lord of Gods, killed four rudimentary Lords of Gods in four months after entering the Lord Battlefield. Two outer elders and two inner deacons of the Flying Dragon Sect had been killed by Duan Ling Tian.

The two inner deacons who died on the same day were together. This meant that it was likely that Ximen Long Xian fought both of them alone.

“I had no idea that Ximen Long Xiang is so terrifying!”

“Didn’t he just become a rudimentary Lord of Gods recently? How’s he killing other rudimentary Lords of Gods so easily? He’s terrifying!”

“I know he’s a prodigy. He’s already proven himself to be quite strong when he was on the King Battlefield. He had killed many of our fellow disciples, after all. His victories on the Lord Battlefield only further confirm his strength!”

“You’re stating the obvious!”

“Do you think… Duan Ling Tian is a match for him?”

“Although Duan Ling Tian killed two inner elders of the Tai Yi Sect, he was only lucky that he arrived at the right time. They were greatly weakened when he killed them. However, there’s no doubt that Ximen Long Xiang didn’t rely on luck to kill those four rudimentary Lords of Gods.”

“That’s only because Duan Ling Tian didn’t meet any rudimentary Lords of Gods. Otherwise, he might also be able to kill them!”

“That’s true.”

…

After Duan Ling Tian and Ximen Long Xiang left the King Battlefield, many people thought that Duan Ling Tian was stronger than Ximen Long Xiang. After all, Duan Ling Tian killed more Kings of Gods than Ximen Long Xiang. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian also became a rudimentary Lord of Gods first.

However, currently, Ximen Long Xiang’s performance made everyone reconsider this matter. Back then, Ximen Long Xiang entered the King Battlefield later than Duan Ling Tian. Given the same time, he could likely kill as many people as Duan Ling Tian did. Moreover, it also depended on luck if one could meet opponents on the battlefield. What was the use of strength if one had no opponent? Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian was luckier and met more opponents?

It was just like how Ximen Long Xiang was very lucky when he entered the Lord Battlefield and met four rudimentary Lords of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect within four months.

There were many who did not meet even one opponent after entering the Lord Battlefield for two or three months.

…

When Duan Ling Tian heard about this matter, half a year had passed.

“I’m done. My comprehension of the law should have surpassed most White Dragon Elders. Only a few White Dragon Elders, including Brother Hai Chuan, have a deeper comprehension than me.”

When Duan Ling Tian walked out, he saw Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian in his front yard chatting. The duo was chatting about Ximen Long Xiang killing four rudimentary Lords of Gods on the Lord Battlefield half a year ago.
