War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

For the True Form Beserkfication, the dragon clan’s inherited Divine Ability, the stage of comprehension decided the time limit of the Beserkfication’s effect.

Once the time was over, the Beserkfication effect would disappear. After the effect of the Beserkfication was over, the caster would fall into a weakened state. This was the aftereffect of the True Form Beserkfication!

Due to the aftereffect, Di Jue thought he would be killed by Duan Ling Tian, someone whom he had regarded as an ant previously. Naturally, he felt extremely unresigned.

However, so what if he was unresigned? Nobody could win against the circumstances!

He only had himself to blame for being careless and let Duan Ling Tian escape from his nose previously.

At the moment when Di Jue had lost all hope as his strength and speed decreased, he discovered that Duan Ling Tian’s strength and speed had decreased as well. He realized the Divine Ability Duan Ling Tian had cast earlier must have limitations as well.

A ray of hope began to shine in his heart.

Although he had fallen into a weakened state, he did not have to fear Duan Ling Tian who had also fallen into a weakened state. After all, his foundation was obviously much more powerful than Duan Ling Tian.

He was at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage while Duan Ling Tian was only at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage. If both of them are similarly weakened, he would still be stronger than Duan Ling Tian!

However, at this moment, Di Jue seemed to have forgotten a problem. Although the Divine Abilities he and Duan Ling Tian had cast had aftereffects, the aftereffects were, naturally, different since they were two different Divine Abilities. Due to this slight miscalculation on Di Jue’s part, he was destined to die with a belly full of regrets!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As three streaks of sword rays swept out, Di Jue who was weakened and whose strength had fallen a stage lower to the Early Divine Saint Stage, for the time being, was instantly killed.

The three sword rays that killed him came from none other than Duan Ling Tian. To be more precise, it came from Duan Ling Tian and his two clones.

The two clones had appeared when he cast the Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial again.

Rumble!

It was only until when Di Jue’s gigantic body had fallen to the ground, causing a thunderous noise, that everyone regained their senses after the shock of seeing Duan Ling Tian killing Di Jue.

However, when they shifted eyes to Di Jue’s body, they were shocked again.

‘Di Jue actually thought the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, that I cast have an aftereffect! What a joke! It’s apparent the Elementary Devouring Tactic is much more amazing compared to his True Form Beserkfication! As expected of the Elementary Devouring Tactic, it’s indeed a powerful Divine Ability worthy of Elder Huo’s praise!’ The moment Duan Ling Tian thought of the scene from earlier, he mocked Di Jue inwardly.

At the same time, he could not help but sigh emotionally. Earlier, after 15 minutes had passed, and Di Jue’s Beserkfication’s effect had disappeared, his Sun True Origin that was raised by the Elementary Devouring Tactic had also returned to its original state. Even then, he still possessed Sun True Origin that was equivalent to a powerhouse at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage.

Along with many abilities that he had, including the Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, his strength was not much weaker than before.

As for Di Jue, after the Beserkfication’s effect was gone, his strength had suffered a major decline! Due to the great disparity between their strength, he was killed by Duan Ling Tian even though he had a tough body!

“Oh, yes… The dragon orb!” As the crowd was still in shock, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have recalled something. His eyes lit up as he descended with the intention to extract the dragon orb from Di Jue’s body.

The dragon orb was a good item that could be used to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda!

‘With Di Jue’s strength, his dragon orb must be able to greatly help the repairing of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he descended.

However, just as Duan Ling Tian had approached Di Jue’s gigantic True Form and was about to cut his body open…

Boom!

A powerful energy crashed against him, sending him flying.

The energy was powerful but gentle. It was as though the person was trying to send him away as gently as he could.

“Di Shan!” At the same time, a figure appeared next to Duan Ling Tian at lightning speed. It was none other than Duan Ru Feng.

At this moment, Duan Ru Feng was staring solemnly at Di Shan who had just made a move.

“Mansion Master Duan, no tampering is allowed on the body of a dragon from the dragon clan!” Faced with Duan Ru Feng, Di Shan looked at him fearlessly. “It’s the same even in the dragon clan in the Upper Province!”

The Upper Province’s dragon clan!

It was apparent Di Shan had intentionally mentioned the Upper Province’s dragon clan to pressure Duan Ru Feng. “The fact that Di Jue is killed by your son means Di Jue was useless. Our dragon clan will keep our promise and give your son the chance to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool! However, nobody is allowed to defile Di Jue’s body! This is our dragon clan’s bottom line!” Di Shan said determinedly. His tone brooked no argument.

“Bottomline!”

“Bottomline!”

At once, many members of the dragon clan began to chant loudly.

They finally had an outlet to vent their frustration caused by Di Jue’s death and the chance of entering the Dragon Cleansing Pool being given away.

“Hurmph!” Duan Ru Feng snorted coldly and ignored Di Shan before he looked and Duan Ling Tian and transmitted his voice over. “Tian’er, although Di Jue’s body is a treasure trove, based on the current situation, it’s better to just forget about it. The most important thing for you is to enter the dragon clan’s Dragon Cleansing Pool and use this opportunity that only comes by every few thousand years in the Lower Province.”

“Sure.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He was not reckless nor obtuse. He could see the determination in Di Shan and the other members of the dragon clan’s eyes. Although he knew the dragon orb in Di Jue’s body was good, it was impossible for him to extract it based on how determined the members of the dragon clan were.

Due to this reason, he instantly dismissed the idea and did not persist with it.

Meanwhile, the eyes in the surroundings landed on Duan Ling Tian one by one. Some of them contained shock, some were filled with disbelief while others contained fear and dread.

“Young Mansion Master Duan Ling Tian of Azure Cloud Mansion actually killed the dragon clan’s Five-clawed Golden Dragon, Di Jue! His innate talent doesn’t seem to be inferior to his father!”

“The Azure Cloud Mansion is really born under a lucky star! First, they have Duan Ru Feng, and now, they have Duan Ling Tian!”

“With him around, it won’t be a problem for the Azure Cloud Mansion to maintain their glory for another 800 to 1,000 years!”

The group of high-ranking officials and disciples from various quasi third-rate forces looked at Duan Ling Tian with complicated gazes.

If such an outstanding young talent appeared in the sect they were in, he would definitely be able to lead their sects to a higher level. Given enough time, they would even be on par with the Mountainshade Black Market and Azure Cloud Mansion. Just like how Duan Ru Feng had led the Azure Cloud Mansion to glory with his strength alone!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At the same time, the group of dragon clan’s high-ranking officials had also arrived by Di Shan’s side.

Apart from Di Shan who could contain his anger, the group of dragon clan’s high-ranking officials, including the dragon clan’s Enforcement Elder, the Five-clawed Blood Dragon, Xue Chan, were staring at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent.

Duan Ling Tian had killed Di Jue and made the dragon clan lose its most suitable candidate for the next Clan Leader.

There was no doubt the dragon clan would have to spend a very long time and a tremendous amount of resources to wait for a Five-clawed Golden Dragon to appear again and nurture him to Di Jue’s level!

The moment they thought of this, they could not help but feel irritated. They hated Duan Ling Tian to the core!

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, congratulations!” Gu Li had appeared next to Duan Ling Tian to congratulate him for obtaining the chance to enter the dragon clan’s Saint Land, the Dragon Cleansing Pool.

Ku Mi had also appeared by Duan Ru Feng’s side. Although he remained silent, there was a hint of respect in his eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

If the reason he was respectful to Duan Ling Tian previously was due to Mansion Master Duan Ru Feng, now, he was respectful due to the strength Duan Ling Tian had displayed. His strength was at the Exemplary Saint Stage even though his cultivation base was at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage!

Duan Ling Tian’s strength had shocked him.

He believed if this Young Mansion Master would not be inferior to the current Mansion Master in the future.

“Lord Leader guessed correctly!” In the distance, the two Deputy Leaders of Mountainshade Black Market, Feng Bu Yi and Zhong Qi Shan, exchanged a look. They could see the shock in each other’s eyes.

“Congratulations!” A faintly familiar voice resonated in Duan Ling Tian’s ear, taking him by surprise. He turned around and looked at the source of the voice. With just one glance, he saw the Leader of Mountainshade Black Market, Dugu.

“Thank you!” Although he had no idea why his father’s rival would congratulate him, he still expressed his thanks politely.

No matter what, this person had been quite polite to him from the very start. As the saying went, ‘It’s difficult to slap a smiling face!’

“Mansion Master Duan, please wait for one more day. After I’ve dealt with Di Jue’s matter, I’ll bring the Sun Key out and send the Young Mansion Master into the Dragon Cleansing Pool!” Di Shan said as he raised his head to look at Duan Ru Feng.

After saying that, without waiting for Duan Ru Feng’s response, he led the group of dragon clan’s high-ranking officials to deal with the matter at hand.

Di Shan was the dragon clan’s Five-clawed Golden Dragon. He was from the dragon clan’s Imperial Clan. He had been killed. Moreover, he was killed in the dragon clan’s lair. Naturally, the dragon clan would have to arrange his funeral.

Duan Ling Tian and the other three left as well. On the way back to the little valley, he came to a halt and looked in the direction where the Cloud Continent was located and murmured in a low voice, ‘Did all of you see it? I, this incompetent Sect Leader, have finally taken revenge for all of you. I’ve finally killed him!”

Although his voice was not loud, Duan Ru Feng and the other two heard his words clearly.

Duan Ru Feng and Ku Mi knew what Duan Ling Tian’s words meant, but Gu Li could only guess there was enmity between his junior brother and Di Jue prior to this. He did not know the details of what had happened so he became curious.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, you have enmity with Di Jue before this?” Gu Li asked curiously as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. After that, he quickly added, “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to talk about it or if it’s inconvenient. I completely understand.”

“There’s nothing that I can’t talk about.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and recounted how Di Jue had annihilated the Ling Tian Sect that he had built on the Mortal Continent previously.

Gu Li finally understood Duan Ling Tian’s hatred toward Di Jue.
