War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Numerous saber rays shot toward Duan Ling Tian. With so many saber rays, it was inevitable that some of them would land on the stone wall of the Latent Dragon Abyss. The saber rays left visibly deep marks on the wall.

The masonry of the Latent Dragon Abyss was extremely unique. Otherwise, with his Celestial Origin Energy and the profundity of his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, Zhou Fei’s saber rays would have caused more damage to the wall. It could be considered impressive that he even managed to leave marks on the wall. After all, the walls were so hardy that even an ordinary Crimson Sun Golden Celestial would not be able to leave a mark on it. Based on this, one could see how powerful Zhou Fei’s attack was. Moreover, he had not even taken out his Celestial Weapon yet.

“So powerful!”

“This is the strength of a Yellow Sun Golden Celestial!”

As Zhou Fei charged toward Duan Ling Tian in the sky full of saber rays, the onlookers held their breaths and stared unblinkingly at the sight before them. The saber rays were like mini suns surrounding Zhou Fei. As they swept toward Duan Ling Tian, it seemed as though they were going to drown him.

Upon seeing this, everyone, except for Qin Yu, was certain Duan Ling Tian would have four of his limbs severed.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s calm voice rang out. “Is this all you got?” Although his voice was not loud, it sounded deafening in everyone’s ears.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

Before anyone, including Zhou Fei, had time to reach, a series of sword cries rang in the Latent Dragon Abyss.

‘Duan Ling Tian is making his move!’ Qin Yu thought to himself.

Countless sword rats appeared among the saber rays at this moment.

As soon as the thought appeared in Qin Yu’s mind, the sword rays shone with an intense and dazzling radiance, lighting up the entire Latent Dragon Abyss. It was blindingly bright that most people had to squint their eyes to see.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the same time, a series of explosions resounded in the air.

When the onlookers finally opened their eyes, they were shocked to see the saber rays that surrounded Zhou Fei had completely vanished. It… It seemed like Zhou Fei’s attack had been nullified! Only the sword rays remained. They were like a school of piranhas swimming toward their prey as they headed for Zhou Fei.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another series of deafening explosions rang in the air again. It stirred up a hurricane, causing everyone’s robes to flutter. Those with a weaker cultivation base staggered backward from the force of the wind.

A hint of anxiety could be heard in Zhou Fei’s voice as he said threateningly, “My godfather is Revered Elder Zhou Tong in the County Governor’s estate. If you dare to injure me, not only would you violate the rules of the Latent Dragon Abyss’ rules, but you’ll risk offending my godfather as well!” At this moment, he was no longer as arrogant and smug as before. Fear was apparent in his eyes as he looked at the tens of thousands of sword rays that were flying toward him. He tried to flee, but he discovered the sword rays had locked onto him. Even if he ran, they would still chase after him.

“People make mistakes, it’s human nature…” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently with a dark expression on his face in response to Zhou Fei’s threats.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the sword rays brightened again. Their speed increased as they flew toward Zhou Fei, completely destroying the shield that Zhou Fei had conjured up in a hurry. In just an instant, the sword rays severed all four of Zhou Fei’s limbs.

After that, Duan Ling Tian stopped his attack. He did not destroy Zhou Fei’s limbs nor kill him.

After a moment of delay, Zhou Fei’s wretched cry rang in the Latent Dragon Abyss. His miserable cries lasted for several breaths. When he stopped screaming, everyone could see he was drenched in sweat, and his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious he had suffered extreme agony.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Zhou Fei split his Celestial Origin Energy into four and caught his limbs before reattaching them. After that, some colors finally returned to his pallid face. His eyes gleamed with resentment and anger as he glared at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, as the challenger, you had severely injured the one you challenged. This is a blatant disregard for the rules set by Lord County Governor. I, Zhou Fei, will not let this matter go!”

Duan Ling Tian only spared Zhou Fei a dismissive glance before he said indifferently, “If you don’t want to have your limbs severed again, hand over the access to the stone chamber!”

Zhou Fei’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. He threw a jade slip to Duan Ling Tian and glared at him before he left the Latent Dragon Abyss under everyone’s watchful eyes.

During the battle earlier, apart from not wielding his Celestial Weapon, Zhou Fei had unleashed all his strength. Even then, he was thoroughly defeated by Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, he could see the entire process clearly. Duan Ling Tian did not wield a Celestial Weapon as well. Under these circumstances, he was aware he was no match for Duan Ling Tian. For this reason, he did not continue to fight after Duan Ling Tian had nullified his attack. He knew the gap between him and Duan Ling Tian was quite wide.

Upon gaining access to the stone chamber, Duan Ling Tian looked at Qin Yu and said, “Qin Yu, I’m going in.” Following that, he sent his soul energy into the jade talisman that Zhou Fei had surrendered to him to claim ownership. This would allow the Formations in the stone chamber to recognize him and grant him entry.

Every stone chamber in the Latent Dragon Abyss was the same. They had Formations that corresponded to jade talismans that allowed those who owned the jade talismans to come and go freely.

Duan Ling Tian did not waste any time and entered the stone chamber immediately, leaving the onlooker in the Latent Dragon Abyss looking at each other in silence.

Eventually, a blue-clad young man in the Latent Dragon Abyss broke the silence. “Heavens! That’s… That young powerhouse from Bloody Spectre City actually defeated Zhou Fei and severed four of his limbs with just one move!”

“Indeed. It seems like he’s in a different league from Zhou Fei based on how easily he defeated Zhou Fei!”

“I wonder what’s his cultivation base? He should be stronger than a Green Sun Golden Celestial. After all, even Zhou Fei who’s a Yellow Sun Golden Celestial was defeated with one move!”

“The name of the young powerhouse from Bloody Spectre City is Duan Ling Tian… I’ve never heard of someone like him in Bloody Spectre City.”

Most people had regained their senses at this point. All of them were in shock and felt as though they were dreaming. To them, Zhou Fei was almost invincible. However, a newcomer from Bloody Specter City had easily defeated him with one move! They might not have noticed it yet, but they had begun to refer to Duan Ling Tian as a young powerhouse instead of that young man from Bloody Specter City.

Soon after, someone looked at Qin Yu and asked enthusiastically, “Brother, are you from Bloody Specter City as well?”

“Yes.” Qin Yu nodded.

The same person asked, “I saw that young powerhouse from Bloody Specter City spoke to you earlier… Are both of you close?” The same person asked.

“I wouldn’t say we’re close even though we’ve chatted a few times. We merely came from the same place. We do talk though.” Qin Yu said frankly.

Another person could not help but ask curiously, “Do you know his cultivation base? Is he a Green Sun Golden Celestial? Or a Blue Sun Golden Celestial? If he’s a Blue Sun Golden Celestial, then he’s probably the only Blue Sun Golden Celestial who’s younger than 100 years old in the entire Nine Spectre County in the past 1,000 years!”

“I’m not sure.” Qin Yu shook his head. It was true he did not know what Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was, but he knew for sure that Duan Ling Tian was not even a Crimson Sun Golden Celestial, let alone a Green Sun or a Blue Sun Golden Celestial!

‘The Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that Duan Ling Tian mastered are likely at the heaven-grade,’ Qin Yu thought to himself. It was only natural for him to think this way. After all, Duan Ling Tian was only a Heavenly Celestial who had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven half a year ago. The only reason he was so powerful had to be due to his heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.

A few people began to discuss among themselves again.

“I’m afraid things won’t bode well for him even if he’s a Blue Sun Golden Celestial… Not only did he offend Zhou Tong by severing Zhou Fei’s limbs, but he completely disregarded the rules set by the County Governor. With just this, he has offended two of the strongest people in the Nine Specters County!”

“Although he had disregarded the rules in Latent Dragon Abyss, Lord County Governor might let things slide considering how talented he is. However, since this involves Revered Elder Zhou Tong, I’m afraid things won’t be resolved so easily.”

Upon hearing the discussions in his surroundings, a grim and worried expression appeared on Qin Yu’s face.
