Destruction

Initially, Duan Ling Tian did not plan to pay attention to these individuals. However, the event had stirred up a commotion among many. He did not want the Divine Offering Land to be thrown into chaos so he quickly opened the connections to the various Realms of Gods in the God Defying World.

“Those who wish to leave the Divine Offering Land have one month to leave. After that, the Divine Offering Land will be sealed again for a thousand years.”

Duan Ling Tian’s voice resonated through the Divine Offering Land. It was as though an almighty creator was speaking to the lives he brought into existence.

Duan Ling Tian’s words set off waves in the Divine Offering Land. After all, many had made a fuss because of this matter. Now that they got what they wanted, they could leave and enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda to grow stronger.

Most of the people who kicked up a fuss were advanced Supreme Gods.

As for the few supreme powerhouses in the Divine Offering Land, most of them had a good relationship with the Xia clan. They knew the risks that came with leaving the Divine Offering Land so they did not have any plans to leave. Moreover, as supreme powerhouses, it was not difficult for them to leave if they wanted to. Even those who were not close to Duan Ling Tian could speak to those who could, such as people from the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land.

“Father, you allowed them to leave, but why won’t you allow me to leave?”

Duan Nian Tian was naturally eager to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. He desperately wished to catch up to his father, but with his current strength, he felt like he was lagging far behind. Now that there was a chance to narrow the gap between them, he naturally did not want to miss it.

“Be good and stay here,” Duan Ling Tian said. Although he was pleased with his son’s determination to grow stronger, his son was too rash. After he disciplined his son physically, he explained the reason behind his decisions.

After gaining an understanding of his father’s concerns, Duan Nian Tian also calmed down. However, he could not help but think to himself, ‘Couldn’t he have explained it earlier? Was it necessary to use physical punishment first? Hmph! Father’s not like that with Si Ling at all. He’s so biased…’

Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of his son’s thoughts. Even if he were aware of them, he would not have paid attention to them.

…

In the following period, Duan Ling Tian closely monitored the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. He had also received news from the God Defying World’s Jade Emperor Heaven that Xiao Mu Bai tried to stop people from entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. However, due to the sheer number of advanced Supreme Gods, he was unsuccessful. He could only stop a few of them. After all, unless he was willing to kill indiscriminately, it was impossible for him to stop so many people. Moreover, even if he persisted, he knew people could still enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda by going to the entrances outside of the God Defying World. After all, the new addition to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda was too tempting.

During this time, many people from the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary who previously entered the Heaven Traversing Pagoda through the entrance with purple lightning bolts also came out.

…

In the God Defying World, Duan Ling Tian contacted the doppelganger of Huangfu Meng Yuan, his Eldest Senior Sister from the Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction, and told her about his suspicions. The doppelgangers of his Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, and Fourth Senior Sister also showed up one after another.

In the Outer Boundary, there was a sense of unrest in the Jin Dynasty’s Thirteen Cities upon the return of Xue Qing Zhu, the former Seventh City Governor. Those from the Outer Boundary had no doppelgangers, but they could still be contacted through other methods. Most people trusted Xue Qing Zhu wholeheartedly. Although the allure of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda was very strong, they had greater trust in her. Since she became a City Governor, she had never led them astray and brought glory and numerous benefits to the Jin Dynasty’s Thirteen Cities. They knew that she would not let them suffer losses.

Before Feng Qing Yang and Xue Qing Zhu left, Duan Ling Tian also requested that they inform the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion about this matter and also asked the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion to inform the nearby Azure Cloud Saint Sect about this matter. He had a little connection with these two forces so he decided to give them a reminder. However, whether they listened to him or not was entirely up to them.

Apart from this incident, the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary were generally very peaceful. After all, so many people, especially advanced Supreme Gods, had entered the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. With fewer people present, there were naturally fewer conflicts.

…

Time raced forward. In just a blink of an eye, 32 years have passed.

On this day, Duan Ling Tian was in the Solitary Destructive Heaven, a Devata Realm in the God Defying World. He was comprehending the Sword Dao at this moment, hoping to break through the ninth stage.

Although he did not know what the future held, he knew that improving his strength would only benefit him. Not only would he be able to protect himself better, but he would also be able to protect his family and friends. With this in mind, he cultivated tirelessly.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a deafening sound that seemed to shake heaven and earth rang in the air, causing the ground to quake. Following that, an extremely powerful energy descended from the sky.

Buildings in the Solitary Destructive Heaven began to collapse rapidly in succession. Many places were reduced to ruins in just a moment.

The majestic force swept out in all directions, bringing with it destruction.

“He’s there! I found him! Yu Luo He, how dare you cultivate the forbidden sacrificial technique! This is unacceptable in the divine land. Now that I found you, I’m going to kill you!” a voice reprimanded harshly from outside the God Defying World.

Following that, wave after wave of powerful energy swept out. In fact, the energy was not directed at the God Defying World. They were only shockwaves from a battle in the distance. Nonetheless, they were enough to bring destruction to the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

“There it is…” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself after he flew up high into the sky. He looked at the colossal tower in the distance. It was the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.

At this moment, the Heaven Traversing Pagoda exploded with a dazzling white light. Subsequently, countless cries of agony and despair rang out one after another, sending shivers down people’s spines.

At this time, another voice said loudly and disdainfully, “You weaklings think you can kill me! What a joke!”

As waves of energy continued to collide with each other, the Solitary Destructive Heaven could no longer hold on and collapsed.

Duan Ling Tian stood in the void. Due to the destruction, Feng Qing Yang, Xue Qing Zhu, and the others who were originally in his line of sight disappeared.

“This is bad!”

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed immediately when he sensed something. He discovered that his Little World was shaking. Not only that, but the Divine Tree of Life that once was filled with vitality had dimmed in just an instant. The World Cleansing Divine Water’s aura was also weakening like a dying flame.

“What’s happening?” Duan Ling Tian was perplexed and frustrated.

Before he could even react, the Divine Tree of Life and the World Cleansing Divine Water faded into oblivion, leaving no traces behind. Following that, his Little World and the Divine Offering Land also began to collapse.
