War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Even Duan Ling Tian did not realize the sudden change in the situation. This was because his mind was currently thinking about something else.

Long before Jing Xu Zi’s Yin Yang Two Qis Swords had swept out to the tornado Xu Jing had cast, Duan Ling Tian’s attention was solely focused on the Yin Yang Two Qis Swords.

He had noticed something on the Yin Yang Two Qis Swords.

The ‘something’ he had noticed was different from his comprehension of the Sword Dao thus far. When he looked at the Yin Yang Two Qis Swords, he seemed to have comprehended something from it.

There were multiple pairs of Yin Yang Two Qis Swords crossing paths in his minds. Each pair of Yin Yang Two Qis Swords had different sets of actions. Although they were different, the Sword Dao seemed to be the same.

At this moment, some of the obstacles he had encountered with the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, Sovereign Heart Sword, were solved immediately!

The final layer of the obstacle was broken through just like that!

The second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword — the Sword Shadowed Heart!

At this instant, Duan Ling Tian had officially comprehended this stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword. It was a whole new stage. It was a more powerful stage!

Once Duan Ling Tian cast this technique, it would be so powerful that it was comparable to the offensive technique of an ordinary Heaven Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic. It was completely different from the offensive technique of an Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic.

“So it’s actually like this… Sword Shadowed Heart.” When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, realization dawned on his face. At the same time, a faintly discernible Sword Qi exuded out of his body tyrannically. As he stood there, it seemed as though his entire person had turned into a peerlessly sharp sword.

However, he was shocked when he snapped out of his daze.

How could he not feel shocked?

This was because he noticed that after Jing Xu Zi’s Yin Yang Two Qis Swords had overpowered the vast tornado Xu Jing had cast again, not only was Xu Jing not defeated, but he had released an even more powerful aura from his body. Moreover, the aura was something Duan Ling Tian was familiar with.

When the Devilseal Tablet in his Spatial Ring began to get agitated, he was hit with a realization. ‘Devil Cultivator! This Xu Jing is actually a Devil Cultivator? Wait a minute! He… he was concealing his strength!’

Horror dawned on his face when he thought of this.

When Xu Jing had concealed his strength, he was at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage. Just how powerful was he if he did not conceal his strength?

Even after Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the second stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword, and his strength had greatly increased, he was still horrified by this.

Just as horror dawned on Duan Ling Tian’s face, Ren Zhong, Liu Hong Guang, and Xu Cen who were the first ones to realize what was going also had a horrified expression on their faces. They were bewildered when they saw Xu Jing was not only exuding a more powerful True Origin, but his True Origin was laced with Devil Qi as well.

Currently, Xu Jing was like a different person compared to before.

Meanwhile, the huge tornado that appeared suddenly turned even more powerful. Moreover, it was emitting Devil Qi as well. The tornado was now as tall as the Great Buddha Phenomenon that was formed by the Flowery Monk’s Thousand Buddhas Territory. It was sweeping toward the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Ji at a speed that was ridiculously fast.

Faced with the speed of the tornado, both the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi were suppressed to the point of suffocation.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Horror dawned on both of them immediately as a terrifying thought appeared in their minds. ‘T-The peak of the Refined Saint Stage! T-This Xu Jing has actually broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage!”

They only had time to think about this, they did not have time to think about when Xu Jing had turned into a Devil Cultivator.

When they discovered Xu Jing’s current strength and the horrifying technique he had cast, there was only one thought left in their minds!

‘Retreat!’

At this instant, both of them began to flee in different directions.

When they were about to flee, Jing Xu Zi’s Yin Yang Two Qis Swords had also been destroyed by that powerful tornado. The tornado did not decrease in strength as it continued to sweep out at lightning speed at the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi who were fleeing for their lives.

“Senior Brother Flowery Monk!” The group of people of Brahma Temple had regained their senses, and horror dawned on their faces one after another.

The Abbot of Brahma Temple had also discovered Xu Jing’s true cultivation base. His expression was grave as he worried about the Flowery Monk who was running for his life.

It was more or less the same as the Pure Yang Shrine.

However, the Abbot and the people from Brahma Temple people turned even more horrified soon after. This was because they saw the tornado that was emitting heinous Devil Qi had caught up to the Flowery Monk. Moreover, his entire person had been swallowed up by the tornado. As soon as he disappeared, blood mist appeared in the sky.

The Flowery Monk had died!

“NOOO!” The Brahma Temple’s Abbot froze, his face had turned completely pale!

His direct disciple whom he thought the most highly of and whom he regarded as Brahma Temple’s future hope, had died?

He could not accept this, but the bloody scene before him forced him to accept this fact.

Many people gasped when they saw the Flowery Monk turned into a mist of blood in just a blink of an eye.

However, nobody uttered a word since all of their attention was now focused on Jing Xu Zi.

One must admit that Jing Xu Zi was luckier than the Flowery Monk. Due to the fact that the Flowery Monk was injured, his speed when fleeing had decreased.

Jing Xu Zi, on the other hand, was not injured in the first place. Although his Yin Yang Two Qis Swords were destroyed, he was only injured after he managed to flee in the distance. Due to this reason, he managed to narrowly escape the tornado. However, he was still sent flying by the horrifying energy at the edge of the tornado.

Barf!

The moment Jing Xu Zi opened his mouth, he threw up a huge mouthful of blood immediately. He was further injured, and his face turned pale completely. He hovered in the air with great difficulty. His body swayed as though he was going to collapse.

“Jing Xu Zi, admit defeat right now!” At this moment, the Shrine Master of Pure Yang Shrine noticed the killing intent flashing in Xu Jing’s eyes. His heart turned cold immediately. He shouted loudly to remind Jing Xu Zi, fearing he would be killed if he was late in admitting defeat and followed in the Flowery Monk’s footsteps.

Jing Xu Zi’s importance to the Pure Yang Shrine was almost similar to how important the Flowery Monk was to the Brahma Temple.

To the Shrine Master of Pure Yang Shrine, everyone who followed him here could die but not Jing Xu Zi, the hope of the Pure Yang Shrine.

If Jing Xu Zi managed to grow stronger in the future, he would definitely be able to lead the Pure Yang Shrine to glory. He might even be able to lead the Pure Yang Shrine to replace the Rising Sky Mansion and become a fourth-rate force.

It was precisely because of this the Shrine Master of Pure Yang Shrine did not want Jing Xu Zi to die even if there was the slightest hope.

Meanwhile, after Jing Xu Zi who was further injured and baffled over Xu Jing’s cultivation base at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage heard his Master’s reminder, he suddenly regained his senses. With great difficulty, he opened his mouth to say, “I admit…”

Unfortunately, before the word ‘defeat’ came out of his mouth, a streak of black light flashed across the sky.

The speed of this streak of black light was not any slower than the tornado’s speed.

The streak of black light flashed and left a bloody hole in between Jing Xu Zi’s eyebrows. Jing Xu Zi’s eyes who were originally full of vitality suddenly lost its light, and his body jerked before it instantly fell from the sky.

Even with the reminder from the Shrine Master of Pure Yang Shrine, Jing Xu Zi was still too late in admitting defeat.

The lack of one word caused him to be sent to the other world, following in the footsteps of the Flowery Monk.

The two most outstanding people among the middle-aged generation in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district had died in the hands on one person. Moreover, this person used to be someone whom they had defeated in the past.

“Jing Xu Zi!”

“Senior Brother Jing Xu Zi!”

When Jing Xu Zi died, horror dawned on the people from Pure Yang Shrine, the Shrine Master in particular. He was already anxious before this when he saw Jing Xu Zi die, his vision turned black immediately. His vital energy and blood rushed straight to his heart and caused him to throw up blood.

If it was not for the fact that he had a powerful cultivation base, he might have already passed out.

Meanwhile, silence descended on the scene.

Everybody’s attention was on Xu Jing.

Although Xu Jing was the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, and the items in his hands were probably not any lesser than the Flowery Monk or Jing Xu Zi, he still kept the Spatial Rings of the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi as war trophies.

“How’s this possible?!”

“Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, was defeated by the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi previously! Any one of them could crush him easily. However, this time, they were both killed by him even though they had joined forces?”

“If I didn’t witness this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed such a ridiculous thing as well!”

“Can someone tell me if I’m dreaming or not?”

“Impossible! Impossible!”

Many people began to exclaim out loud as they regained their senses. They were all bewildered by Xu Jing’s strength.

A year ago, Xu Jing was only an Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.

Previously, his cultivation base at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage had already baffled many people. They all thought he must have had a fortuitous encounter.

In the crowd’s opinion, going from the Early Refined Saint Stage to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage in one year was unbelievable. However, the fact remained based on the strength Xu Jing had displayed earlier.

“I didn’t know Xu Jing’s a Devil Cultivator… After a year, he has actually fallen into the Devil Dao and became a Devil Cultivator?” Many people’s expressions turned grim when they realized Xu Jing was a Devil Cultivator.

“Even if he became a Devil Cultivator, it still seems quite far-fetched for him to rise to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage from the Early Refined Saint Stage in just one year, right?” Many people chimed in.

“It’s indeed far-fetched. However, this is the hard truth. If he didn’t break through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, it wouldn’t have been possible for him to kill the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi this easily!”

“I can’t believe Xu Jing has broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. In this case, he must have held back some of his strength earlier when he killed Zhong Gu and when he first fought with the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.”
