Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian could also see through the two advanced Emperors of Gods’ plan. Clearly, one was trying to exhaust Cheng Yan’s energy so the other would have the upper hand when fighting Cheng Yan.

Even if Cheng Yan had consumed his healing divine pills, it would be impossible for Cheng Yan to recover all his energy in such a short time.

As for Hu Dong Lan, based on his reaction, he could also figure out the duo’s plan. Not only that, but he also realized that Cheng Yan had intentionally hidden his strength earlier when fighting him.

When the final advanced Emperors of Gods entered the arena, even Duan Ling Tian could not say for sure who would emerge victorious. However, based on the confident expression on Cheng Yan’s face, it seemed likely that he would win.

“Cheng Yan, I didn’t expect you to hide your strength,” the advanced Emperor of Gods said solemnly as he looked at Cheng Yan.” Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

The advanced Emperor of Gods did not dare to let his guard down at all even though the other advanced Emperor of Gods managed to exhaust Cheng Yan’s energy. After all, Cheng Yan did not seem significantly affected. He was not completely confident about defeating Cheng Yan even if his plan to exhaust Cheng Yan’s energy was a success, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and advance. After all, a golden opportunity was at stake. He did not care about becoming the interim or official Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion, but he really wanted to represent the Righteous Kingdom during the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms in Destiny Canyon. It was a great chance, and it might help him become a Supreme God. Without a great chance like the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms or a fortuitous encounter, he knew it would be impossible for him to break through and become a Supreme God.

“It seems like this will be the final fight of the competition.”

“The winner of this fight will be the interim Mansion Master of our Divine Spirit Mansion!”

“That’s right. This will definitely be the final fight of the competition unless another advanced Emperor of Gods shows up.”

The crowd, including Wang Chun who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian, shared the same sentiments.

Meanwhile, the advanced Emperor of Gods did not waste time. Soon after he entered the arena, he began to launch his attacks. His attacks rained down on Cheng Yan heavily. He was clearly hoping to defeat Cheng Yan before Cheng Yan could recover more of his energy.

However, Cheng Yan did not flinch at all when faced with the fierce attacks that were like torrential rain.

With this, the crowd, including the messenger of the Righteous Kingdom, realized that Cheng Yan had hidden much more of his strength than they had expected. It was not difficult for them to figure out the outcome of the fight

“If there are no other surprises, that advanced Emperor of Gods is definitely going to lose…”

“Cheng Yan is going to be the interim Mansion Master of our Divine Spirit Mansion!” Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

As expected, it did not take long for Cheng Yan to gain the upper hand and defeat his opponent after ten moves. With this, he successfully defended his position after defeating three advanced Emperors of Gods consecutively.

Although the three advanced Emperors of Gods felt slightly bitter about their losses, they were convinced by Cheng Yan’s strength. As such, they congratulated Cheng Yan, displaying good sportsmanship.

“Congratulations, Cheng Yan!”

Cheng Yan smiled faintly as he said, “It’s too early for you to congratulate me. The competition isn’t over yet, after all.”

In everyone’s opinion, Cheng Yan was just being modest. There was no doubt in their minds that Cheng Yan would definitely be the winner of the competition and the interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion.

At this time, Wang Chun said with a sigh, “Cheng Yan will definitely become the interim Mansion Master of our Divine Spirit Mansion. He’s quite strong and young. If he’s really lucky, he might even have a chance of becoming a Supreme God during the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms in Destiny Canyon!”

No one, including Duan Ling Tian, knew much about Destiny Canyon or the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms. However, most of them thought that the competition likely entailed the advanced Emperors of Gods from various Divine Kingdoms fighting and that during the process, they might run into fortuitous encounters that would help them become Supreme Gods.

While the crowd whispered among themselves, confident about Cheng Yan’s victory, Cheng Yan stood in the arena, looking invincible as he waited for his next opponent.

…

Time seemed to pass slowly before it was finally almost noon.

Although everyone was confident about Cheng Yan’s victory as soon as he defeated the final advanced Emperor of Gods present on the scene, no one left. After all, they did not want to miss out if another advanced Emperor of Gods, no matter how unlikely, showed up.

“There are only 15 minutes left. If no other advanced Emperor of Gods shows up, Cheng Yan will be crowned the winner and the competition will come to an end.”

“That’s right. Moreover, now that a few hours have passed since the last fight, Lord Cheng must have also almost completely recovered his energy with the healing divine pills.”

“Isn’t that obvious that he’s now stronger?”

“Even if another advanced Emperor of Gods shows up, it’ll be difficult for him or her to defeat Lord Cheng.”

Not long after, someone said with a sigh, “We’re halfway through the final 15 minutes… I guess we’ll be able to leave soon…”

“There shouldn’t be any more changes with so little time left…”

At this time, Wang Chun, who shared the same thoughts with the crowd, said to Duan Ling Tian, “Brother, there’s nothing else to see now that time’s almost up. I think we can return to the mansion’s city now.”

Since Duan Ling Tian had occasionally replied to Wang Chun, Wang Chun assumed that they were not friends. Alas, it was only a one-sided feeling.

Duan Ling Tian nodded and said, “You’re right. It’s about time to return to the mansion’s city.” After a beat, he continued to say, “However, before we do that, there’s one more thing I have to do.”

“Huh? What is it?” Wang Chun asked in confusion.

Duan Ling Tian did not reply to Wang Chun and suddenly vanished out of sight.

Upon seeing this, Wang Chun grew even more confused. He muttered to himself, “He left? Why didn’t he wait for me?”

Wang Chun, who assumed Duan Ling Tian had left, turned around. He was thoroughly shocked when he saw a familiar purple figure in the arena.

At the same time, the crowd broke out into an uproar when they saw a purple figure had flown into the arena to face Cheng Yan, who had defeated three advanced Emperors of Gods consecutively.

Similar to the others, Cheng Yan was shocked when he saw Duan Ling Tian. He did not expect anyone to challenge him so close to the end of the competition. Most importantly and shockingly, Duan Ling Tian was just a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. He asked incredulously, “You’re just a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, but you want to challenge me for the position of the interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion?”

The crowd was even more shocked upon hearing that Duan Ling Tian was just a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. Many of them thought that Duan Ling Tian had mistakenly entered the arena while some of them felt that Duan Ling Tian had a death wish.

“A rudimentary Emperor of Gods!”

“Does he have a death wish? How dare he challenge Lord Cheng Yan?”

“I saw him casting the Teleportation Profundity… Perhaps, he mistakenly entered the arena?”

“This is the first time I’m seeing someone who miscalculated and arrived at the wrong place after casting the Teleportation Profundity!”

At the same time, the messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom could not help but furrow his brows slightly. He naturally thought it was absurd that a rudimentary Emperor of Gods had the audacity to challenge an advanced Emperor of Gods. Although the likelihood was low, he could not help but wonder inwardly, ‘Did Cheng Yan arrange for him to enter the arena to prevent other advanced Emperor of Gods from challenging him at the final moment?’

The messenger’s gaze turned frosty when he thought about this. He despised this kind of petty trick the most. He scoffed coldly, catching everyone’s attention. Then, he said, “To think a rudimentary Emperor of Gods is bold enough to challenge an advanced Emperor of Gods… To prove this isn’t staged, this fight will be a life-or-death fight. If both of you are unwilling to fight a life-or-death fight, both of you can surrender, and both of you will be disqualified from the competition. The interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion will then be chosen among the other three advanced Emperors of Gods.”

The crowd was stunned and confused by the messenger’s words. However, after a moment, some of them figured out the messenger’s thoughts and intention for suddenly changing the rules.

“So is this purple-clad young man here to help Lord Cheng stall for time?”

“Is that even necessary?”

“I think Lord Cheng likely didn’t expect the messenger to suddenly change the rule, right?”

“I guess Lord Cheng will have to kill the purple-clad young man now. Otherwise, he’ll be disqualified.”

“If he’s Lord Cheng’s accomplice, I think Lord Cheng won’t kill him, right?”

“That might not be the case. If he’s not related to Lord Cheng, I think it’s possible that Lord Cheng will kill him to become the interim Mansion Master of our Divine Spirit Mansion.”

Everyone’s gazes were skeptical and suspicious as they looked at Duan Ling Tian and Cheng Yan.

At the same time, Wang Chun muttered under his breath, perplexed, “So Duan Ling Tian came to help Cheng Yan? If that’s really the case, then things aren’t looking good for him.”

Wang Chun sighed inwardly. ‘I hope Cheng Yan won’t kill him just so he can become the interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion.”

Meanwhile, Cheng Yan felt extremely wronged as he thought to himself, ‘The messenger thinks I set this up?’

At the same time, Cheng Yan looked at Duan Ling Tian indignantly, feeling his blood boil. He said coldly, “Brat, everyone thinks I hired you to stall for time, but you know the truth. I don’t know why you’d suddenly enter the arena at this time, but prepare to die!”
