War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian who had charged into the tornado did not die. A layer of translucent Sword Energy had already appeared around him, protecting him tightly within it.

Even if the tornado’s energy was extremely tyrannical, all it did was made the Sword Energy quake, but it did not manage to crack it all.

There was no doubt the Sword Energy came from the profundity of the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, Sword Shadowed Heart. Although it had merged with the Sun True Origin, it had completely overwhelmed the Sun True Origin. One could not see the Sun True Origin at all. Only energy that was powerful enough would be able to contain another energy. Based on this, one could tell the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword was not ordinary.

This was where Duan Ling Tian’s confidence came from. The confidence that he might be able to kill Xu Jing.

If the Sovereign Heart Sword had not broken through to the second stage, Duan Ling Tian was not confident he could win Xu Jing at all. After all, Xu Jing was a Devil Cultivator at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage.

If he had not broken through to the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, let alone a Devil Cultivator who was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, Duan Ling Tian was not confident he could defeat a Martial, Dao or Devil Cultivator at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage. At most, he could only come to a draw with them if he was not defeated.

Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian’s breakthrough to the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword was like a timely rain to him.

With his hand holding onto the three-foot-long blade that the 10,000 Sword Territory had transformed into and fused with the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Sword Shadowed Heart, Duan Ling Tian felt as though the three-foot-long blade had become an extension of his body. The sword moved in accordance to his heart without any delay at all.

Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian, who was not affected after charging into the tornado, thrust the three-foot-long blade out at once. A streak of dazzling golden light shot out from his hand immediately.

At the same time, the three-foot-long blade brought Duan Ling Tian to pass through Xu Jing’s Territory safely as he charged toward Xu Jing. To be more precise, he was aiming at the point between Xu Jing’s brows.

“How fast!” Almost at the same time, Ren Zhong, Liu Hong Guang, and even Xu Cen’s hearts jolted.

They discovered something shocking. Duan Ling Tian’s current speed was not something a Martial Cultivator at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage could possess. “H-He… He… H-He has broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage as well?”

After this thought rose up in the minds of these three people, their hearts beat faster. It felt as though their hearts were going to leap out of their chests.

Another powerhouse who was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage! How could they not feel shocked when they saw this?

Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang’s eyes were shining brightly, in particular. When they looked at each other, they could see the hostility in each other’s eyes.

After witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s strength, they all wanted even more to recruit Duan Ling Tian to their own sects.

Even a quasi third-rate force might not have such an outstanding genius Martial Cultivator.

They had never heard of someone who was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage below the age of forty in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

At this moment, they finally understood why Duan Ling Tian was so confident and had rejected their advice and insisted on accepting Xu Jing’s challenge.

As it turned out, he was actually a Martial Cultivator who was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, and he did not fear Xu Jing at all.

At the same time, Xu Cen hastily reminded Xu Jing, “Be careful, Young Mansion Master. He’s also a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage!”

Although he did not like Xu Jing very much, this battle concerned Xu Jing’s safety so he had no choice but to be cautious about this matter.

If Xu Jing had died here, he would definitely face a severe punishment when he returned to the Rising Sky Mansion. Moreover, he might even have to pay for Xu Jing’s life with his own life.

He was the leader of the Rising Sky Mansion here after all. It was his responsibility to look out for Xu Jing’s safety.

Right now, Xu Jing was no longer the playboy and good-for-nothing Xu Jing from before. The current Xu Jing had a cultivation base at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. He was the future hope of the Rising Sky Mansion.

Currently, Xu Jing had already broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. If he was given enough time, he might be able to lead the Rising Sky Mansion to become a quasi third-rate force in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

In the Dao Martial Saint Land, the quasi third-rate force was an absolutely powerful force.

Not only did they monopolize the best Saint Stone reserves, but they even occupied the Saint Martial Secret Zone. The Saint Martial Secret Zone was a secret zone that could help many talented Martial Cultivators to soar up into the sky. It contained all sorts of cultivation resources and rare treasure.

Becoming a quasi third-rate force was the dream of every fourth-rate force.

Naturally, it was difficult to attain this dream. Although it was difficult, it did not stop them from trying to attain it.

The Saint Stone reserves were still not that important. However, the Saint Martial Secret Zone was the foundation of a quasi third-rate force. It was something fourth-rate forces would go all out for.

In the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Saint Martial Secret Zone was also called the genius’ cradle.

“The peak of the Refined Saint Stage!” Even without Xu Cen’s reminder, Xu Jing could also tell Li Feng, who was charging at him with his blade and disregarding his tornado, was a powerful opponent. It was obvious a Mastery Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator could not compare to him at all.

Even if both the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi joined forces, they would still not be a match for Li Feng.

“Hurmph!” Xu Jing snorted suddenly. A moment later, the Typhoon Territory rapidly shrunk. In the end, it transformed into a miniature tornado in front of him. The tornado had shrunk until it was twice of Xu Jing’s size. Although it was small, the energy contained in it was not weak at all.

When Duan Ling Tian thrust the three-foot-long blade into it, he could clearly sense the terror from the Devil Qi that was spreading out from the tornado. It was rapidly devouring his Sun True Origin. Moreover, the miniature tornado had also begun to threaten the protective Sword Energy on his body to a certain extent.

“Wind Dragon Embodiment!” Xu Jing shouted out at the moment when Duan Ling Tian was still in shock over Xu Jing’s technique. Then, the miniature tornado suddenly twisted before it transformed into a divine dragon that was formed from the wind.

Naturally, the divine dragon that was formed by the wind was extremely ferocious and terrifying. As it howled, the air seemed to quake.

When the tornado was undergoing the transformation, Duan Ling Tian discovered the three-foot-long blade in his hand was no longer being restrained. Although it was no longer restrained, Duan Ling Tian did not intend to continue his attack on Xu Jing.

As though he had noticed something, Duan Ling Tian immediately moved back.

At the same time, the divine dragon that was transformed from the miniature tornado suddenly twisted its head and immediately crashed on the place where Duan Ling Tian was previously standing.

The sky shook immediately.

Boom!

As a loud noise reverberated, ripples appeared in the sky.

Terrifying airwaves appeared in the sky, creating a flurry of hurricanes. This was enough to show how terrifying the attack was.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who had dodged the attack was washed over with a sense of fear. “I can’t believe Xu Jing actually mastered such a horrifying martial technique. The force of this martial technique must be an offensive technique in the Earth Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic. Moreover, he must have cultivated it to the highest stage — the Impeccable Stage!” Duan Ling Tian speculated.

Duan Ling Tian had indeed guessed correctly. This martial technique of Xu Jing that was called the Wind Dragon Embodiment was indeed an offensive technique in an Earth Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic. Moreover, it was also one of the few strongest offensive techniques in the Rising Sky Mansion. It was a technique that was on par with the Space Shattering Origin Detonation that Xu Can had mastered.

“Hurmph! You’re quite fast in dodging, huh?!” Xu Jing snorted when he saw how fast Duan Ling Tian had dodged his first attack.

His gaze when he looked at Duan Ling Tian was completely different now.

Previously, his gaze contained hints of disdain, but now, it no longer held contempt as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. Instead, it was replaced with solemnity.

He had no choice but to take this seriously at this moment.

Previously, he was not aware of Li Feng’s strength. However, based on the earlier situation, he could tell Li Feng’s strength was not inferior to him. He was also at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. He could also tell that Li Feng had only broken through to the Refined Saint Stage not too long ago, just like him.

Although his expression was solemn, he did not intend to retreat at all. The fact that they were equal in strength aroused his desire for victory even more.

Meanwhile, the spectators finally regained their senses. It seemed like they had seen a ghost when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. “T-This Li Feng is actually so p-powerful?”

“Just from the strength he displayed earlier, and how he managed to dodge Xu Jing’s offensive technique, his strength is most likely at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage!”

“My goodness! He’s not even forty years old yet! A Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage who’s not even 40 years old! I think even in those few quasi third-rate forces in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land don’t have somebody like that right?”

“No wonder he accepted Xu Jing’s challenge so confidently! Initially, I thought he was just being rash. However, it seems that he really has confidence in himself!”

“Although he’s also at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, based on the attack earlier, it seems like his strength is slightly inferior to Xu Jing.”

“I noticed that as well. His strength’s indeed slightly inferior!”

The spectators discussed among themselves. Their topic only revolved around Li Feng, who was Duan Ling Tian’s fake persona.

At this moment, the limelight had completely shifted to Duan Ling Tian.

Meanwhile, a voice resonated in Duan Ling Tian’s ear. He could tell the voice belonged to Ren Zhong, the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion. “Little Brother Li Feng, if you feel you’re no match for Xu Jing, make sure you admit defeat in a timely manner… If you admit defeat, I can make a move to save you!”

The moment Ren Zhong’s Voice Transmission was over, Liu Hong Guang’s Voice Transmission arrived. The content of his Voice Transmission was more or less the same.

Although he knew the reason they were so nice to him and why they were concerned about his well being, Duan Ling Tian still expressed his gratitude politely.

At the same time, he shifted his gaze back to Xu Jing and said indifferently, “Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, you’re indeed more powerful than the rumors say.”
