War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

As Elder Qi dove toward Duan Ling Tian like a hawk, he said coldly as though he was a Grim Reaper who had already decided Duan Ling Tian’s fate, “Today, I must bring you down a notch before I kill you to show you the meaning of, ‘There’s always someone stronger than you in the world’.”

In the distance, Duan Ling Tian’s voice rang out among the tens of thousands of sword rays. “There’s always someone stronger in this world? Let’s see how strong you are…”

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

The sounds of a sword cry reverberated in the air as soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking. At this moment, he had completely disappeared, becoming one with the tens of thousands of sword rays. It did not take long before the white light that sword rays emitted turned blindingly bright, causing everyone to squint.

When the light was no longer as bright as before, the people present on the scene realized that the sword rays had merged and transformed into an ordinary sword. The expressions of the Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials turned grim when they saw the sword. Although the sword’s appearance was ordinary, they had a nagging feeling that there was more than meets the eyes. They were certain that the sword was not ordinary at all.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Elder Qi continued moving toward Duan Ling Tian as he moved his arms that seemed as though they were sharp blades that could cut through anything. The energy that surged out of his arms seemed to increase at this moment. It was clear that he had unleashed all his strength. He did not hold back his strength since he could sense that the sword Duan Ling Tian had transformed into was not simple. In fact, he felt threatened by the sword. He cried out, “Die!”

Duan Ling Tian’s voice rang from the sword after Elder Qi spoke. “You’ll be the first Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial whom I kill!”

Swoosh!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the sword shot out toward Elder Qi. However, its speed seemed very slow.

Even Han Xue Nai and Zhang Yi who were the weakest among everyone present on the scene could clearly see the movement of the sword. However, they were unable to see the profundity of this seemingly simple attack. This was only natural since even the Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were unable to see it. Only the Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were able to see the profundity of the attack.

The Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials’ expressions darkened when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s simple strike. The profundity of this strike was slightly similar to the profundity of the attack that Duan Ling Tian had used earlier to kill the Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

Earlier, the Celestial Sword had shot out, followed closely by more than five sword rays. In just a few moments, the sword rays had merged with the Celestial Sword, causing a burst of energy. It was a truly terrifying attack. Based on that, they knew this seemingly simple attack had to be terrifying as well.

“Body Sword Fusion! Thirteen Green Lotus Swords!” Duan Ling Tian cried out. His attack contained not only the fourth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, but he had also used the Divine Ability from a Devata Realm, the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords! The Sovereign Heart Sword was like Celestial Techniques, they could be used alongside Divine Abilities to further enhance his strength.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The distance between Elder Qi and Duan Ling Tian was fast closing as Elder Qi continued to move his arms that seemed like the sharpest blades in the world.

Xiu!

Duan Ling Tian who had become part of the sword shot out leisurely toward Elder Qi, slicing the void open. The hole in the void turned bigger and bigger before it finally seemed to devour Elder Qi for a moment.

A soft but audible noise rang in the air as the sword and Elder Qi who seemed like a hawk finally collided.

The sword that Duan Ling Tian was a part of hovered in the air where Elder Qi was standing earlier whereas Elder Qi had moved to the other side.

Everyone’s attention was focused on Elder Qi at this moment as various emotions flitted across their faces.

All of a sudden, a blindingly bright light appeared again from the sword. When the light finally disappeared, Duan Ling Tian could be seen hovering in the air as he looked at Elder Qi.

Everyone seemed to have fallen into a state of confusion as they discussed among themselves.

“He… He seems fine.”

“He’s unharmed? Then, what was that noise earlier?”

However, it did not take long before they saw Elder Qi’s body twitched and a wound appeared on his glabella. The wound widened all the way to his forehead. It was not difficult to see that this wound was enough to kill any Bodiless Celestial! Elder Qi’s aura vanished as his body gradually vanished as well. A Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial had died just like that!

Silence descended on the entire place at this moment.

After witnessing Elder Qi’s death, everyone’s eyes darted back to Duan Ling Tian in unison.

An expression of surprise could be seen in Han Xue Nai’s face at this moment. All her worries had vanished as well. Although she had always had faith in Duan Ling Tian, she still could not help but worry about him. After all, he was facing such a dangerous situation earlier. She sighed in relief as she thought to herself, ‘Brother Ling Tian is capable of killing a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial so easily? Does this mean his strength is currently comparable to an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?’

“T-this…” Zhang Yi was dumbstruck. Not even in his wildest dreams did he think this would happen. As a cultivator from Yan Huang Realm and a disciple of the Celestial Masters Sect, he knew that the strongest Eminent Celestial in his realm was only as strong as a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. How could he not be shocked now that he had seen an Eminent Celestial who possessed strength comparable to an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?

‘Earlier, I overheard the other Bodiless Celestials saying that the strongest Eminent Celestials whom they have heard of only possess strength comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. D-does this mean Duan Ling Tian has rewritten history? No, wait. There was Feng Qing Yang from the Saint Province Realm who was said to be as strong as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. However, Feng Qing Yang only became that strong after he obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Prior to obtaining the inheritance, his strength, with the Celestial Sword, was only comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! That’s a far cry from Duan Ling Tian’s current strength. I can’t imagine how terrifyingly strong Duan Ling Tian would be if he manages to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone!’ Zhang Yi was frozen by the many thoughts that flashed in his mind. He was certain that if Duan Ling Tian managed to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, before he ascended to a Devata Realm, he would definitely be the strongest person in all mundane realms. Even a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial would not be a match for Duan Ling Tian.

Zhang Yi’s eyes were bright as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He was sincerely happy for Duan Ling Tian.

At this moment, the Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestials gasped when they finally regained their senses. On the other hand, the Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials’ expressions turned grim. A thought flashed in all their minds at this moment.

‘He’s so powerful!’
