War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Ever since I, Hong Yun, have broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and become a Guardian of Fire Worship Sect, this is my first time meeting such an arrogant disciple in the Fire Worship Sect!” Hong Yun said coldly. It seemed as though her voice could freeze everything in her surroundings. Her expression darkened when she saw that Duan Ling Tian seemed unbothered. “I won’t kill you today for Sect Leader’s sake. However, I’ll have to teach you some manners!”

It was obvious that Hong Yun was furious. As soon as she finished speaking, an invisible energy surged out of her body even though she did not make a move. The energy swept toward Duan Ling Tian like an angry dragon. Although this was not the extent of her strength, it was more than enough to injure and send cultivators below the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage flying if they were caught off-guard.

As soon Hong Yun’s Saint Origin swept toward Duan Ling Tian, she was certain it would send Duan Ling Tian flying.

Zi Feng and Qing Huo also did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to block this attack from Hong Yun.

However, would the outcome be the same as their expectations?

When the invisible energy was only a foot away from Duan Ling Tian…

Swish!

Duan Ling Tian scoffed. He did not move as a wave of invisible energy swept out toward Hong Yun’s invisible energy and clashed with it.

Boom!

The sound of explosions reverberated in the air, causing the air around them to turn turbulent. Wind blew violently, and it made Duan Ling Tian and Hong Yun’s robes flutter loudly.

The red-clad Guardian stood her ground and did not move at all.

Duan Ling Tian was the same.

The atmosphere turned tense immediately.

Silence.

“How’s this possible?!” When Qing Huo regained his senses, he was bewildered. He did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to nullify Hong Yun’s attack. This was not something anyone was capable of. Only those above the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage were capable of something like that.

A hint of surprise could be seen in Zi Feng’s eyes. Qing Huo was not the only one who was baffled.

Naturally, the person who was most surprised was Hong Yun.

“I’ve underestimated you!” Guardian Hong Yun glared at Duan Ling Tian as she said in a low voice, “No wonder you’re so arrogant. It seems like you are somewhat capable…”

Hong Yun paused for a moment before she said, “However, I’ll show you why you can’t be rude to your elders just because you’re a little strong!”

As soon as Hong Yun finished speaking, her red robe began to flutter in the air.

Whoosh!

Hong Yun seemed to have transformed into a bolt of red lighting as she charged toward Duan Ling Tian. It was obvious that she would not let him go if she did not teach him a lesson today!’

As a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, Hong Yun managed to slightly pressure Duan Ling Tian even though she had not unleashed her full power.

When Hong Yun was charging toward Duan Ling Tian, he suddenly said in a calm voice, “Guardian Hong Yun, just unleash your full power!”

“How arrogant!” Hong Yun was further enraged when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. Her expression turned cold immediately. Her seductive body trembled in anger as waves of energy surged out of her like a raging tide.

Qing Huo shook his head. Although Duan Ling Tian managed to nullify Hong Yun’s earlier attack, he did not think Duan Ling Tian was a match for Hong Yun. Hong Yun could be considered as his junior sister so he knew very well how powerful she was.

Hong Yun was a Guardian of Fire Worship Sect. She was a cultivator at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who was ranked 16th on the Supreme Saint Ranking. However, her ranking was not so high three years ago. Her ranking had only risen because of the deaths of many powerhouses at or above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the trap that was left behind by three Eminent Devils.

For this reason, there was a great shuffle in the Supreme Saint Ranking. Many people’s ranks had risen a few places just like Hong Yun.

Duan Ling Tian did not continue to remind Hong Yun to unleash her full power when he saw she had no intention of doing so. Instead, he quickly cast his assist-type Divine Ability. “Elementary Devouring Tactic!”

The moment Duan Ling Tian cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic, whirlpools began to appear around him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The whirlpools began to absorb all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy around Duan Ling Tian as his Sun Saint Origin skyrocketed. His Sun Saint Origin emitted an extremely powerful aura.

Whoosh!

When Hong Yun sensed the aura, her eyes narrowed immediately. “S-Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?” She could clearly sense that after Duan Ling Tian cast the assist-type Divine Ability, the Saint Origin in his body had been raised to the Saint Celestial Stage Sun’s Flame. It was not the aura of an ordinary cultivator at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Although it was not at the level of a cultivator at the Eight Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, it was quite similar! Her Saint Origin could not compare to Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Origin at all before she cast an assist- type Divine Ability/

“Good! Good! Very good!” At this time, Hong Yun no longer thought Duan Ling Tian was being arrogant or conceited. His current strength was enough to let him speak to them as equals.

Disrespectful to elders?

The other two Guardians and Hong Yun merely held positions higher than Duan Ling Tian. They were addressed as elders because of their superior strength. Since Duan Ling Tian’s strength was not inferior to their strength, why should he treat them as elders?

Conceited?

Based on Duan Ling Tian’s power, he was not conceited. He was only talking to them as equals.

The three Guardians thought Duan Ling Tian was conceited because they did not think Duan Ling Tian’s strength was comparable to their strength.

Even then, Hong Yun had no intention of retreating. Instead, she felt thrilled now that her interest was piqued.

Swish!

At this moment, Hong Yun no longer dared to act carelessly. She instantly cast her assist-type Divine Ability to raise her Saint Origin. In the end, her Saint Origin was no longer inferior to Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Energy.

“How’s this possible?” When Qing Huo and Zi Feng regained their senses, they saw the horror and disbelief in each other’s eyes.

Naturally, they had noticed what Hong Yun had noticed. They were baffled by Duan Ling Tian’s strength.

“It seems like he really killed Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion and King and Karmapa of Black Kshetra Sect.” Qing Huo sent a Voice Transmission to Zi Feng.

“If he really killed Xie Kang Xun with three strikes, I’m afraid Hong Yun’s no match for him!” Zi Feng replied through Voice Transmission with a solemn expression on his face.

“I agree.” Qing Huo smiled wryly.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had already engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Hong Yun. Neither of them used martial tactics or Divine Abilities. They were just using their strength.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two waves of energy close to the Eight Form of the Saint Celestial Stage clashed repeatedly, causing the sound of explosions to reverberate in the air. The force of the repeated collisions was so strong that the ground began to quake. At this moment, it seemed as though both of them were evenly matched.

At this moment, the elder on patrol had returned when he heard the commotion. As soon as he arrived, he saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

“H-How is this possible?!”

Duan Ling Tian, a true disciple of Fire Worship Sect, was fighting with Hong Yun, one of the Three Great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect. What was even more shocking was the fact that both of them seemed to be evenly matched.

Guardian Hong Yun is a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. She’s ranked 16th on the Supreme Saint Ranking! How’s Duan Ling Tian evenly matched with her?_

At this moment, the elder on patrol felt as though he was dreaming. However, it was clear that the scene before him was real.

”D-Don’t tell me the rumor about Duan Ling Tian killing Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King of Black Kshetra Sect is true?’ The moment the elder on patrol thought of this, he was thoroughly shocked. He did not regain his senses for a long time.
