War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

Four sword cries sounded simultaneously as soon as the member of the Ground Ax Alliance finished speaking.

Meanwhile, the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand and his clones disappeared from the sight of the two members of the Ground Ax Alliance.

In that next moment, both of their attacks, a slash and a slice, were nullified. They only knew their attacks were nullified but they could not see what did it. All they heard were four short-lived cries of swords.

Wait a minute. Four swords’ cries? Did that not mean there were an additional three attacks?

Chills ran up the two members of the Ground Ax Alliance’s spines when this thought crossed their minds.

Thud!

Thud!

Two muted noises rang in the air as a horrible and bloody wound appeared on the spot between their eyebrows. The wounds were bleeding profusely. Blood splattered everywhere looking like freshly bloomed roses.

All these happened under the cover of Duan Ling Tian’s 10,000 Swords so the occasional passersby who stopped to watch could not see what was happening since none of them were at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Duan Ling Tian was not someone who would show mercy to those who intended to kill him.

“Elder Huo, help me devour their Innate Spiritual Roots!” Duan Ling Tian said to Elder Huo after he killed the two members from the Ground Ax Alliance.

As the saying went, ‘Even the smallest mosquito has some meat.’ Although Duan Ling Tian knew these two people’s Innate Spiritual Roots would not be of a high-grade, he did not plan to waste them.

“Both of them had light green Innate Spiritual Roots.” Elder Huo said to Duan Ling Tian.

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian devoured their Innate Spiritual Roots with the help of Elder Huo and the Elementary Devouring Tactic.

“Your Innate Spiritual Root has reached the tipping point… Currently, you only need to devour one more green Innate Spiritual Root before your Innate Spiritual Root will turn indigo!” Elder Huo said to Duan Ling Tian.

Naturally, Elder Huo’s statement excited Duan Ling Tian!

Indigo Innate Spiritual Root!

‘Once I obtain the indigo Innate Spiritual Root, with the time flow on the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, I think my cultivation speed will be comparable to those prodigies with violet Innate Spiritual Roots, right?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he became excited.

Those ultimate prodigies with violet Innate Spiritual Roots were the cream of the crop in the Dao Martial Saint Land in regards to their innate talent!

When Duan Ling Tian thought about how his cultivation speed would be comparable to the prodigies with violet Innate Spiritual Roots, he was extremely delighted. It took him a while to regain his composure.

After Duan Ling Tian calmed down, he called out, “Elder Huo! Can the Elementary Devouring Tactic help others to devour Innate Spiritual Roots? For example, would I be able to devour an Innate Spiritual Root and transfer it to another person to improve their Innate Spiritual Root?”

Duan Ling Tian had asked this question because he was thinking about his family and friends. If his theory worked, he would be able to help the people he cared about to improve their Innate Spiritual Roots. It would allow them to possess high innate talent to achieve the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

The Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was also known as the Heaven Defying Form. Once one entered the stage, one would obtain immortality. Their lifespans would be equivalent to heaven and earth!

There was nothing Duan Ling Tian wanted more than to have the people he cared about to attain immortality. If that was the case, he would not have to watch his family and friends die of old age as he lived on alone.

Duan Ling Tian waited for Elder Huo’s answer with bated breath.

“What you said should work theoretically. There’s a 90% success rate. However, it’ll depend on the circumstances as well!” Elder Huo replied, “Naturally, you’ll first have to master the Elementary Devouring Tactic to the highest degree. Otherwise, it would be impossible. Apart from that, your cultivation base has to be at the Saint Celestial Stage since you’ll have to be able to sense their Innate Spiritual Roots. You can also sense other people’s Innate Spiritual Roots without my help to devour them.”

After listening to Elder Huo’s response, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up immediately. He was obviously excited. He was even more excited than when he learned his Innate Spiritual Root was going to turn indigo soon. After all, there was nothing more important to him than his family and friends!

‘If that’s the case, Little Fei’er, Mother, Father, Nian’er, and Si Ling will be able to enter the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and attain immortality!’ Duan Ling Tian was excited when he thought about this.

As for Ke’er, Duan Ling Tian was not worried about her since she already possessed the violet Innate Spiritual Root even though it was temporarily sealed. As long as he managed to rescue her, he would ask Elder Huo to teach her to break the seal.

There were two conditions to him improving other people’s Innate Spiritual Roots. One, he had to be at the Saint Celestial Stage. Two, he had to master the Elementary Devouring Tactic to the highest degree.

Although currently Duan Ling Tian still had not met the two conditions, he was confident he would be able to meet it in the future!

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian quickly regained his senses. He had sensed something. He discovered a strange energy emitting from the robes of the members of the Ground Ax Alliance.

“It seems to be the aura of a talisman from this mundane realm,” Elder Huo said in a timely manner. It was obvious he had also sensed the energy from the robes as well.

“Talisman?”

Duan Ling Tian frowned and began to search their bodies. However, after he failed to find anything out of the ordinary, he kept both their Spatial Rings and disposed of their bodies.

Then, Duan Ling Tian withdrew the 10,000 Swords Territory and continued flying toward Sin City.

While Duan Ling Tian made his way to Sin City, the bodies of the members from the Ground Ax Alliance dropped to the ground and attracted many people’s attention.

“I-Isn’t that the bodies of the people from Ground Ax Alliance?”

“Two members from the Ground Ax Alliance died just like that? Who’s that purple-clad young man? He’s so bold to openly kill two members from the Ground Ax Alliance so close to Sin City? Isn’t he afraid of retribution from the Ground Ax Alliance?”

“Sin City is ruthless. Even if you have support, you won’t be able to escape death if you offend someone powerful!”

As the passersby gossiped among themselves, their eyes were trained on the purple figure who was flying away.

From the beginning until the end, no one saw Duan Ling Tian’s face.

As for those who were closer to the entrance of Sin City, they were unaware of what had occurred so they did not pay close attention to Duan Ling Tian.

‘Sin City… I’m here at last!’ Duan Ling Tian thought when he arrived at the entrance of Sin City.

Although there were four gates in Sin City, not many people used the gates. Most people prefer to fly in and out of Sin City. The gates were almost redundant.

Duan Ling Tian followed the crowd and flew into Sin City.

‘It’s huge!’ Although Duan Ling Tian had seen from afar how vast Sin City was, it was even more impressive up close.

When Duan Ling Tian entered Sin City, he felt so small like a fish in the ocean.

Inside Sin City, there were many main streets. The alleys were many and of numerous sizes.

Along the main streets, many stalls were set up at the side, Some of the stalls sold Saint Weapons, medicinal pills, and talismans. Many people were bargaining in front of the stalls.

Duan Ling Tian hovered in the air above one of the main streets as he took the sight in. Sin City was vibrant.

Boom! Boom! Boom

A loud noise suddenly attracted Duan Ling Tian’s attention. He turned around and saw two people fighting at the northern side of the sky. Both of them seemed strong. Based on their attacks, they had to be at the Quintessential Saint Stage.

The people fighting were a Martial Cultivator and a Dao Cultivator respectively.

In the beginning, the Martial Cultivator had the upper hand. However, after the Dao Cultivator retrieved several Talismans and tore them up, he managed to kill the Martial Cultivator. Even then, the Dao Cultivator was on the verge of passing out.

“What an opportune time for me!” Someone said with a laugh.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian saw a black-clad man with a crow embroidered on his chest shot up into the sky and killed the Dao Cultivator who was drained from his fight with the Martial Cultivator!
