War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Bang!

After howling angrily, the stone man flew up into the sky, stirring up the sand and pebbles in its wake. It looked extremely menacing. It raised its right hand before swinging it forward.

Whoosh!

The stone man’s Celestial Origin Energy surged out like an angry dragon toward Duan Ling Tian, causing turbulence in the air.

‘A seemingly casual punch from this stone man is equivalent to the attack of an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Moreover, it contains the profundities of a Celestial Method and Divine Abilities! This Little World left behind by a Celestial King is, indeed, remarkable.’ Upon seeing the stone man’s strength, Duan Ling Tian did not dare to take it lightly. His Celestial Origin Energy surged out as he cast his Divine Abilities and the highest stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword. He defended himself against the stone man’s punch by forming a sword with his Celestial Origin Energy.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy formed a sword Formation, and it fell like a rain of swords. It landed on the stone man’s right hand as though it was trying to restrain it.

‘Based on its strength, I should be able to defeat it without using my Celestial Weapon!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself indifferently as he watched his sword Formation land on the stone man’s right hand.

However, at this moment, a shocking scene appeared before Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. A blindingly bright turquoise light began to shine from the stone man’s right hand and merged with its Celestial Origin Energy before it released an even stronger attack. The attack was even stronger than Duan Ling Tian’s attack!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

After the turquoise energy merged with the stone man’s Celestial Origin Energy, its strength skyrocketed to a terrifying level. As its attack swept out, it easily nullified Duan Ling Tian’s sword Formation and continued to head toward Duan Ling Tian unimpeded.

‘D*mn it!’ When Duan Ling Tian saw his sword Formation was crushed, he belatedly realized that he had been careless. His expression changed drastically. However, it was too late to use the Devata Artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, now. He did not have time to repel the stone man’s attack.

‘I was careless.’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly, dismissing the thought of using the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. Regardless, he did not seem worried or anxious since he knew he was not in any danger.

“Brother Ling Tian!” Huan’er cried out as an icy energy began to ripple out from her body. She looked like an ice queen at this moment.

Numerous saber rays formed from ice weaved into a web and shielded Duan Ling Tian.

Boom!

The stone man’s right arm violently smashed on the saber web, but it merely made the saber web tremble slightly.

In the next moment, the saber web shone with a blue light that increased in intensity as time passed. Finally, it surpassed the brightness of the turquoise light and overwhelmed the turquoise light.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A series of noises that sounded like an earthquake rang in the air.

The blue light disappeared, revealing the stone man that had been cut into thousands of pieces. As the black stones crumbled, one could see flesh and blood beneath them. It seemed like the stone man was not completely made out of stone. Underneath the black stones, it was clear that it was made out of flesh and blood.

Tens of thousands of pieces of meat and intestines flew in the air before they landed on the ground.

A gust of wind blew past, stirring up the sand. It did not take long before they settled, and peace was restored.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s attention was focused on the spot where the stone man was previously standing.

A turquoise long whip hovered in the air. Its light seemed to dim with every passing minute. In just a few moments, the light seemed to disappear into the long whip before the long whip began to fall from the air.

Whoosh!

Huan’er used her energy to pull the long whip over to Duan Ling Tian. “Brother Ling Tian… This should be a Celestial Weapon, right?”

Duan Ling Tian took the long whip in his hand, studying it. It was about three-meter-long and was cool to the touch. He was not sure what it was made of. Regardless, it did not stop him from sensing its aura. Indeed. It was a Celestial Weapon. Moreover, it was a King Grade Celestial Weapon!

A King Grade Celestial Weapon!

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had touched a King Grade Celestial Weapon before. It was the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. It was one of the sect’s three guarding Celestial Weapons.

The aura of the long whip was about the same as the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk, and it was slightly weaker than the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring. Based on this, Duan Ling Tian was certain the long whip was a King Grade Celestial Weapon.

‘Earlier, the strength of the stone man skyrocketed because it used this King Grade Celestial Weapon… The way he swung his fist was similar to how one would wield a long whip.’ Duan Ling Tian realized exactly why he had fallen into a disadvantageous position earlier. The stone man’s cultivation base was similar to his cultivation base, and its Celestial Method and Divine Abilities were not inferior to his as well. Moreover, it possessed a King Grade Celestial Weapon. It was only natural that the stone was stronger than Duan Ling Tian who did not use his Celestial Weapon. Naturally, his other Celestial Weapons would be useless against the stone man. Only the Devata Artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, that was equivalent to a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon would enable him to defeat the stone man.

“Although we did gain some treasures previously, the most precious are only Duke Grade Celestial Weapons… Who knew destroying the stone man would bring us a King Grade Celestial Weapon,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he stared at the long whip in his hand, “Just to obtain a King Grade Celestial Weapon in this Little World, we had to defeat such a formidable opponent… I’m afraid the other six Great Overarching Golden Celestials won’t be able to obtain any King Grade Celestial Weapons.”

The six Great Overarching Golden Celestials younger than 100 years old were only yellow-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials. Although they were given Duke Grade Celestial Weapons by the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland, their strength was still a far cry from an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials with a King Grade Celestial Weapon. The latter would only need one strike to kill them off!

‘It’s a pity this King Grade Celestial Weapon isn’t a sword… It’s not useful to me. In comparison, the Duke Grade Celestial Weapon that I’m currently using, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, is more useful to me.’ Duan Ling Tian shook his head and handed the long whip over to Huan’er as he said, “Huan’er, take it… My Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities are sword-based unlike yours that don’t have any limitations in regard to weapons.”

“This long whip is a King Grade Celestial Weapon?” Huan’er was no longer as ignorant as she was in the past. She knew how powerful a King Grade Celestial Weapon was. She happily took the long whip in her hands and studied it over and over again.

Based on the Divine Crystal Huan’er’s mother had left for her, it would be no surprise if Huan’er possessed an extraordinary weapon. However, strangely, her mother did not leave her with any high-grade Celestial Weapon.

After a moment, Huan’er’s eyes darted back and forth between the long whip and Duan Ling Tian. A skeptical expression could be seen on her face as she asked, “Brother Ling Tian… Is this King Grade Celestial Weapon really useless to you? You… you didn’t intentionally say that so that you can give it to me, right?”

“Huan’er, even if I can use this King Grade Celestial Weapon, it’s better for you to have it… Think of how much it would boost your strength…” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “With it, it won’t be difficult for you to help me obtain other King Grade Celestial Weapons in this Little World…”

“Okay! Huan’er will surely help Brother Ling Tian obtain a King Grade Celestial Sword!” Huan’er said enthusiastically as her eyes brightened.

In just a blink of an eye, six months had passed since the day Feng Wu Ji Guang and the eight Violet Sun Golden Celestials first entered the Little World.

Pa!

A crisp noise sounded near the entrance of the Little World, capturing the attention of all the high-ranking officials in the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.

“Another Soul Pearl shattered?”

“Is that Feng Wu Ji Guang’s Soul Pearl?”

Most of them, including those from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, thought the Soul Pearl that shattered belonged to Feng Wu Ji Guang. They were shocked when they realized that Feng Wu Ji Guang’s Soul Pearl was intact.

“Feng Wu Ji Guang’s Soul Pearl is intact?”

“H-how’s that possible? If his Soul Pearl is fine, then, whose…”

Shock and disbelief brimmed in their eyes as they shifted their gaze toward the six Soul Pearls near the Sect Leaders of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. The Soul Pearls belonged to the six Great Overarching Golden Celestials younger than 100 years old whom they had sent into the Little World. At this moment, they clearly saw that one of the six Soul Pearls had shattered!
