War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens - Chapter 4187

Chapter 4187: The Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus Is About to Mature

“There are so many people here?”

Duan Ling Tian shifted his eyes away from the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus’s phenomenon and saw three groups of people standing in three different directions, surrounding the place where the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus was about to appear.

Duan Ling Tian was familiar with two groups of people. They were from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom who were fighting fiercely before. Previously, he had taken advantage of the fight and killed a person from each group. It was the rewards from killing those two people that enabled him to break through and become an intermediate Emperor of Gods.

“There’s someone from the Righteous Divine Kingdom as well…”

It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian saw a Mansion Master from the Righteous Divine Kingdom. Since he represented the Righteous Divine Kingdom, it was only natural for him to recognize the person from the Righteous Divine Kingdom. Apart from that, he also saw a few familiar faces from the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom and the Soaring Divine Kingdom. The reason he had paid more attention to the two Divine Kingdoms was due to his Fourth Senior Sister, Lang Chun Yuan.

!!

Previously, Lang Chun Yuan had gone to the capital of the Soaring Divine Kingdom and slaughtered many advanced Emperors of Gods. As such, the number of advanced Emperors of Gods representing the pitiful Soaring Divine Kingdom in the Destiny Canyon’s Battle of the Divine Kingdoms was much smaller compared to the other Divine Kingdoms.

As for the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom, since Lang Chun Yuan represented the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom, he naturally paid more attention to it.

‘It seems like the arrival of this group of people caused those from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom to stop fighting…’

It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to guess why the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom had stopped fighting. He also knew that this was just the calm before the storm. When the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus reached full maturity, a huge fight would definitely break out.

‘It won’t be easy to obtain the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus…’

Although Duan Ling Tian had become an intermediate Emperor of Gods and possessed strength comparable to those imminent Supreme Gods from the Divine Kingdoms, he was not confident enough to think that he would definitely obtain the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus. After all, among the people present on the scene, many were close to becoming Supreme Gods.

Just the two groups from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom respectively had at least one imminent Supreme God each. Apart from that, there were also many powerhouses in the two groups who were nearly as strong as those imminent Supreme Gods. The two people whom Duan Ling Tian killed were considered the weakest in their respective groups.

Apart from that, there were also the newcomers from the various Divine Kingdoms.

‘I should wait and see instead of revealing myself now. If I reveal myself now, I’ll definitely be targeted by those from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom since I killed their comrades. At that time, when I display my strength that’s comparable to those imminent Supreme Gods, even more people would target me. Although everyone acknowledges my strength now, currently, they don’t think of me as a threat. They think that I’m only nearly as strong as imminent Supreme Gods now…’

Duan Ling Tian dismissed the idea of showing himself now and continued to hide and wait patiently. However, with his current position, which was quite a distance away from the emerging Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus, not only did he not have any advantage in seizing the lotus, but he was also at a great disadvantage.

‘When the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus matures, a fight will definitely break out. At that time, whoever obtains the lotus will definitely be the target. Even an imminent Supreme God will suffer injuries if he or she is targeted by so many people. For a short time, it’ll be difficult for anyone to take the lotus away. I’ll wait for all of them to be weakened before I make my move…’

Duan Ling Tian was not in a hurry to get close to the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus or show himself. He continued to observe the situation.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian could clearly sense that the three groups of people were not the only ones present on the scene. Although he was an intermediate Emperor of Gods, he was no weaker than an imminent Supreme God. As such, his perception was much better than before, and he could sense the faint fluctuations in his surroundings.

‘It seems like there are quite a few people like me who are hoping to take advantage of the situation…’

Duan Ling Tian looked at the phenomenon from the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus in the distance. The phenomenon alternated between a huge flaming lotus and the golden figure of a Buddha in the sky every dozen breaths or so.

However, as time passed, the lotus only appeared for about ten breaths before it would be replaced by the golden Buddha. Then, the lotus only appeared for a few breaths before it was replaced by the golden Buddha.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian speculated inwardly, ‘If I’m not mistaken, the golden Buddha will completely replace the lotus when the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus emerges…’

Duan Ling Tian had only briefly heard about the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus. He did not know much about the phenomenon and the signs of maturity of the lotus. However, he could vaguely guess by observing the changes in the phenomenon.

In this magical world, many things followed a predictable pattern.

‘It seems like I’m right…’

Soon enough, the golden Buddha appeared more and more frequently.

Although Duan Ling Tian was quite a distance away, he could still clearly sense the burning tension rising from the groups of people. Divine Energies roiled under the surface of those people’s skins, poised to attack at a moment’s notice.

Similarly, those who were hiding like Duan Ling Tian had also mobilized their Divine Energies.

…

In the distance…

The imminent Supreme God from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom looked around before he scoffed and said coldly, “Since you’re already here, you should all show yourselves! Did you think you can hide while we fight and show up at the end to take advantage of the situation?”

With this, a group of people who were hiding was forced to show themselves. Just like that, the fourth group of people appeared.

Most of these people did not join any of the existing three groups.

Only a few people who recognized people from their respective Divine Kingdoms flew over. Although they knew not to trust anyone in Destiny Canyon, if they were forced to choose, they would naturally choose to trust someone from the same Divine Kingdom.

…

Duan Ling Tian shook his head when he saw the people who showed themselves.

“They’re really impatient…”

Unlike the others, Duan Ling Tian had hidden himself rather well. Although his cultivation base was only that of an intermediate Emperor of Gods, he was not discovered by the advanced Emperors of Gods. However, it had to be said that the advanced Emperors of Gods only missed him because they did not probe their surroundings with their Divine Consciousness.

…

At the same time, the imminent Supreme God from the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom reminded the people around him in a deep voice, “Be careful. There are still many who are hiding… Those who showed themselves are just impatient. Don’t think that they’re the only ones.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Similarly, someone from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom reminded the others as well.

…

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian decided to check the ranking.

“This…”

Duan Ling Tian was stunned by Lang Chun Yuan’s points.

Lang Chun Yuan was still in the first place, but her points had changed drastically.

Lang Chun Yuan, Jade Bow Divine Kingdom, 5,826 points.

‘Fourth Senior Sister’s points are too high! At this rate, it seems like she’ll be able to break the record for the highest point set by that person, right? It’s said that if one’s able to break the record, one will be given additional rewards. Breaking the individual ranking’s record and the Divine Kingdom ranking’s record comes with rewards. As it should be, the reward for breaking the individual ranking’s record belongs to the individual while the reward for breaking the Divine Kingdom ranking’s record will be shared equally by the representatives of the record-breaking Divine Kingdom. I wonder what’s the highest point accumulated by a Divine Kingdom in the history of the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms. If the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom breaks the record, the representatives will be elated since they’ll be rewarded…’

After looking at the individual ranking list, Duan Ling Tian looked at the Divine Kingdom ranking list. He shook his head when he saw the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom in the first place before he moved down the list, looking for the Righteous Divine Kingdom’s rank.

‘Righteous Divine Kingdom…’

Although the Righteous Divine Kingdom had dropped a few places, it was still in the top ten. It was currently ranked ninth.

On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian’s points had risen, and as such, his rank had risen slightly as well. This rise was from the points he received from killing the two people from the Upper Second Divine Kingdom and the Supporting Fall Divine Kingdom respectively. However, his rank did not rise much since the others were also steadily gaining points even if their speed was not as fast as his.

Finally, Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention away from the rankings back to the phenomenon that heralded the emergence of the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus.

At this time, the golden Buddha would appear every two breaths, appearing and disappearing just as quickly.

‘It’s almost time…’

About 15 minutes later, the golden Buddha was appearing every one breath.

‘Almost there…’

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as his Divine Energy coursed through 99 Heavenly Veins.

During this time, unlike Duan Ling Tian who had hidden very well, more people who were hiding had been found.

Duan Ling Tian was confident that as long as the advanced Emperors of Gods did not use their Divine Consciousness, they would be able to find him. He was certain of this.

‘The Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus should reach full maturity in 15 minutes…’

…

Naturally, the others could also tell that Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus was about to reach full maturity. They could all read the patterns of the phenomenon.

No one spoke at this moment. Only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard as everyone waited for the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus to appear.
