Chapter 4693 A Step Short of Victory

Duan Ling Tian made his move.

Swoosh!

Above his head, the deep sea roiled as the power of the Limitless Dao swept forth as dazzling as the stars. Its power was terrifying, as though a single strike could destroy everything. The sword ray shot toward Yu Luo He, who was fleeing.

Duan Ling Tian’s icy gaze flashed with a hint of anticipation. As long as he killed Yu Luo He, he would obtain the Life Creation Chart! The chart contained the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds, after all. It was where his hometown was located. Was there anyone who did not want to return to their hometown?

He wanted the Life Creation Chart, not to cultivate the Sacrificial Dao, but to see if his hometown still existed. If not, could it be repaired by the chart? He thought the likelihood was high. After all, the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary were created by the Life Creation Chart.

“Duan Ling Tian, if I weren’t injured, you wouldn’t have dared to act so arrogantly!” Yu Luo He bellowed. He continued to flee at lightning speed as he spoke.

At the same time, a saber ray shot out to meet Duan Ling Tian’s sword ray.

When the sword ray and saber ray collided, a terrible force erupted, wreaking havoc in the sea and creating huge vortices.

In the end, the sword ray destroyed the saber ray, causing Yu Luo He, who was still injured, to spit out blood. However, he did not stop moving and continued to flee and attack at the same time.

Duan Ling Tian also continued to chase after him.

…

Meanwhile, Chen Ming Hao, who had gone to the Surging River Divine Kingdom with his grandfather, had just returned to the Chen clan in the Myriad Mountain when he felt a disturbance on the path of the Limitless Sword Dao. Clearly, someone was using the Limitless Sword Dao now.

In the entire Divine Land, before Duan Ling Tian’s arrival, he was the only one who comprehended the Limitless Sword Dao.

Only Duan Ling Tian, this ‘outsider’ from the world of the Life Creation Chart, was ignorant enough to also comprehend the Limitless Sword Dao.

This was naturally disadvantageous to him since it meant that he would have to share the power of the Limitless Sword Dao, which would affect his strength. Moreover, if the other party used too much energy from the Limitless Sword Dao, his strength would be even more affected.

“The energy is so turbulent. Who is Duan Ling Tian fighting?”

In the entire Divine Land, no one was as familiar as Chen Ming Hao was with the Limitless Sword Dao. Duan Ling Tian, who only recently comprehended the Limitless Sword Dao, was naturally no match for him as well in this regard. After all, he had comprehended the Limitless Sword Dao long before Duan Ling Tian did.

For this reason, as soon as he sensed the abnormal movements, he instantly deduced what happened.

“The energy of the Limitless Sword Dao is so turbulent. He must be fighting with another Dao Merging powerhouse! If it were a Dao Establishment cultivator, he would not have used so much energy from the Limitless Sword Dao…”

Chen Ming Hao’s eyes glinted coldly as he narrowed them. At the same time, a smirk appeared on his face.

“You tried to hide from me, huh? Do you think you can hide from me for a lifetime? Do you think you can use the Dao energy as much as you please? Dream on?”

Chen Ming Hao immediately left the Chen Clan and found a secluded place.

Then, he unleashed his power without reservations, using the Limitless Sword Dao to compete for the Dao energy with Duan Ling Tian.

…

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s strength weakened significantly.

‘Hmm?’

Yu Luo He quickly noticed the sharp decline in Duan Ling Tian’s strength. He had already resigned himself to death just a moment ago; he knew he was no match for Duan Ling Tian due to his injuries. Unexpectedly, the situation turned around.

When Yu Luo He realized that Chen Ming Hao was using the Limitless Sword Dao at this time, he laughed.

“Duan Ling Tian, it seems like today’s my lucky day! I forgot that you’re not the only one who comprehended the Limitless Sword Dao. It seems like Chen Ming Hao is intentionally helping me!”

Earlier, he had assumed it was Chen Ming Hao who was chasing him when he sensed the Limitless Sword Dao. He only discovered that it was Duan Ling Tian later on. It was not hard for him to deduce that Chen Ming Hao was helping him because it was a bad situation for two people to merge the same Daos.

Before making a move, Duan Ling Tian had already considered the possibility of Chen Ming Hao seizing the energy of the Limitless Sword Dao. However, he did not think the possibility was very high. After all, if Chen Ming Hao provoked him so blatantly, he could also retaliate and do the same the next time he sensed Chen Ming Hao using the Limitless Sword Dao.

In the end, this would only result in a never-ending cycle.

As such, under such circumstances, it was best for both sides to compromise.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ming Hao defied his expectations and deliberately seized the energy of the Limitless Sword Dao at this time.

“Duan Ling Tian, if you don’t merge a third Dao, you’ll have a hard time killing me unless Chen Ming Hao cooperates with you. However, clearly, he’s very upset with you for also merging the Limitless Sword Dao. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used the Limitless Sword Dao at such a critical moment!” Yu Luo He said with a laugh.

Then, Yu Luo He shot upward at lightning speed, breaking through the surface of the sea and disappearing into the stormy horizon.

Due to Chen Ming Hao’s intervention, Duan Ling Tian, who could have killed Yu Luo He, failed, falling short by a step. He continued to chase after Yu Luo He but soon found that his speed was now inferior to that of Yu Luo He. With Yu Luo He getting farther and farther away, he finally gave up on his pursuit. After all, he knew only failure awaited him if he continued. He would have to wait for another chance. Moreover, unless Yu Luo He discarded the Life Creation Chart, he would be able to find Yu Luo He again.

In fact, he did not care much if he killed Yu Luo He or not. His goal was to obtain the Life Creation Chart.

“Chen Ming Hao…”

Thinking the culprit behind his failure, Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened, and his eyes shone with killing intent. After all, he did not offend the other party, but the other party provoked him blatantly.
