4596 Lei Hong Has Yet to Return
Previously, after returning from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, Fang Yi Fan also deeply realized how dangerous the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation was. Even if he had obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman, it did not mean that his success was guaranteed. For this reason, he was not in a rush and spent his time making preparations.

After a while, although he was adequately prepared, he still did not dare to face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. That was why he decided to wait for Lei Hong to make a move first. If Lei Hong failed, he would continue to raise his strength and confidence before he faced the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. Nonetheless, he was still surprised by Lei Hong’s success. Currently, Lei Hong had already surpassed him and became the fourth person to enter the realm of level-seven supreme powerhouses, which he yearned for, after the historical gap.

‘I’m not inferior to Lei Hong. Since he succeeded, there’s no reason for me to fail. I’ll find a place and face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation in a few months…’ Fang Yi Fan thought to himself as his eyes shone with anticipation.

His blood began to boil again as though he had returned to the past when he was filled with passion and enthusiasm. However, as time passed, his courage had also been whittled down. He was no longer willing to take risks like the younger generation.
Lei Hong was at least 10,000 years younger than Fang Yi Fan and was considered young among the World supreme powerhouses in the Myriad Worlds.

Initially, Fang Yi Fan planned to visit Lei Hong in the Sun Bright World to learn about his experience. However, he could not put his pride away to do so. After all, he did think he was inferior to Lei Hong at all. In the end, he dismissed the idea and prepared to face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation.

…

In the Sun Bright World.

Members of the force Lei Hong belonged to were waiting for his return after his breakthrough. However, after waiting for a long time, they still did not see Lei Hong.

“What’s taking so long? Why hasn’t Junior Brother Lei Hong returned?”

“I remember hearing from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion that Lord Meng was injured after facing the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. However, he fully recovered after his breakthrough. Even if Junior Nephew Lei Hong is injured, he should’ve recovered and returned by now, right?”

Suddenly, one person said worriedly, “Don’t tell me those three people found Senior Brother Lei Hong and attacked him? After all, Senior Brother Lei Hong was quite overbearing in the past. He stood at the forefront when everyone was threatening the God Defying World…”

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the other supreme powerhouses changed.

“That’s unlikely, right? Although Junior Nephew Lei Hong took the lead to threaten the God Defying World, ultimately, he didn’t do anything…”

“I don’t think so. Before he left, I heard Junior Brother Lei Hong say that he’d find a secluded place to face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. Just like Lord Meng, he was confident about staying hidden. I don’t think those three found him…”

“That’s right. Moreover, Senior Brother Lei Hong traveled through space. Even if those three were following him, it would be difficult for them to keep up with him. Not only that, but it’s impossible for Senior Brother Lei Hong not to notice their presence if they came too close…”

“We shouldn’t jump to conclusions… I have Lei Hong’s Soul Card. It’s intact, and there’s no abnormality. This means he’s not in any danger…”

…

Lei Hong was unaware that his elders and fellow disciples were worried about him. At this moment, he was recovering from his injuries in a small World. He had left the place he had faced the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, where he had set up a Formation to hide the commotion, and came to this place to heal his injuries. He did not dare to return before his injuries were completely healed.

Thanks to his new vital energy, most of his injuries were already almost healed. However, it would take some time for him to fully recover due to how severe the injuries were. It had to be said that even with his injuries now, he was capable of defeating 10 people who were on par with him in the past. However, he still had to guard against the other three level-seven supreme powerhouses. After all, he was definitely no match for three level-seven supreme powerhouses. There was only one outcome if he faced them: death. For this reason, he did not dare to leave until he was fully recovered.

‘At this rate, even with my new vital energy, it’ll take a few decades for my injuries to fully heal…’

Although Lei Hong had successfully overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, fear still lingered in his heart when he recalled how dangerous it was at that time. He had nearly lost his life! If he was slightly unlucky, he would have died.

‘No wonder Old Meng looked frightened when he spoke about the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and said that he wouldn’t have succeeded without the fourth Heaven Protection Talisman…’

After learning about Meng Han’s experience, Lei Hong felt the pressure on him grow. He even wondered if he would survive the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation countless times.

His expression eased when he thought about how he managed to overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation with only three Heaven Protection Talismans, and the corners of his lips could not help but rise.

‘Let’s see who else can overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation with just three Heaven Protection Talismans…’ Lei Hong thought to himself as a smug smile appeared on his face.

However, the smug smile on his face soon vanished when two names flashed in his mind.

The duo did not even use Heaven Protection Talisman to face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and became level-seven supreme powerhouses.

…

Although Lei Hong’s breakthrough shocked the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary, this was just a minor episode in Duan Ling Tian’s eye. Life was peaceful and comfortable now for him, and he was just enjoying his time with his family.

On this day, he heard that his three little friends, Little Black; Little White; and Little Gold, had come to the Divine Offering Land after learning that it was now owned by Duan Ling Tian. He quickly brought the four women with him to meet them.

The trio had now grown up into a young man and two beautiful women. Needless to say, they were very excited to see Duan Ling Tian again. After all, after growing together from their time in the mundane realm, they were no different from siblings.

Duan Ling Tian asked about their plan and asked if they wanted to cultivate in his Little World.

However, the trio chose to stay in the Divine Offering Land since it was more lively. Apart from Little Black, Little White and Little Gold preferred it when things were lively.
