Legend of Ling Tian

Yu ManLou felt stifled; even with his current strength far outstripping Ling Tian, he had still fallen to a disadvantage in front of him. Thus, he did not wish to follow along Ling Tian’s thread. However, every time Ling Tian spoke, he would immediately scratch on the sensitive spot on Yu ManLou’s heart, causing him to react adversely. It could also be his own sixth sense telling him that, if he did not retaliate, he would fall into an even greater disadvantage. But if he were to reply, then that would mean falling into Ling Tian’s traps. This was really the case of being trapped between a rock and a hard place. Or else, with his grand identity as a family head, how would he be reduced to threatening someone with his life and death?

Ling Tian, however, shook his head with certainty. ”You definitely won’t, at least not in the current window. With this situation now, how could you even bear to kill me?”

”And why so? Give me another reason!” Yu ManLou laughed out in ridicule. ”Till now, I still cannot come out with a reason to not do so, and my greatest wish is still to eliminate you! As for you, you had the chance to escape at the start. But now, you do not even possess the slightest bit of a chance.”

Ling Tian ignored him, instead raising his head up to look at the small patch of blue sky currently revealed through the cracks of the tree’s canopy on top of them. He leisurely said, ”I’ve always thought what a fascinating scene it would be if I was able to have a leisurely talk with my greatest opponent. Whoever won or lost in the end, this conversation will be recorded down in the annals of history, passed down to the ages! Thinking of it, one’s heart would also get infatuated, as this is proof of one’s mark on this world. As such, I’ve always thought about what sort of scenario would happen if the two of us ever sat down together.”

”No matter how you think, it will only end with a forfeiture of your life!” Yu ManLou callously spat, throwing aside his original demeanor, with his killing intent now billowing out all over the place.

The third battle ended as Ling Tian’s overwhelming victory! He had completely taken control of the flow of the conversation, and while Yu ManLou had tried to break out of the scenario present, using his trump card of killing Ling Tian, the latter had not even given him the chance to follow up, pulling further and further away from him.

Ling Tian only chuckled, before his expression suddenly grew grave as he seriously said, ”Dare I ask Family Head, if I did not exist, then what’s the best estimate of the time required for you to unite all under heavens?!”

Yu ManLou received a shock at his words. From Ling Tian’s tone, he realized that this was the main course of today’s conversation! As he pondered over this question, just as he was about to confidently reply to him, he realized that whatever answer he had, they all were unsuitable after some thought.

Five years? That was an impossibility. Three years later would be the Generational Battle between the Yu and Shui Families, and after the battle, whoever won or lost, there would definitely be injuries to both families. If they wanted to recover in two years to conquer the world, that was the dream of a fool!

Then a decade? With the Xiao and DongFang families still present, and with the handicap posed by the Beyond Heavens and Above Heavens Sect, that was unlikely too.

Taking a step back, two decades? While he had the confidence to complete this matter by then, he would have lost all his imposing manner! What a pathetic answer he had. After two decades, he would be an ancestor with one step into the coffin, and by then what was the point of being a hegemon?

Ling Tian had obviously calculated a rough estimate of the time Yu ManLou needed and knew where his hesitation lay, thus he started to laugh out loud.

His face reddening in embarrassment, Yu ManLou could only snap angrily, ”Then this old man will ask you, Ling Tian, how many years would you need to conquer the world without me being present?!”
