War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian easily sliced through the young man’s defense like a hot knife through butter.

“No!” the young man cried in sorrow before he died.

The five participants, including Xue Jing Yu, watched as Duan Ling Tian killed the young man. They gloated inwardly when they remembered how the young man had mocked them earlier for being afraid of Duan Ling Tian.

“What an idiot!”

“Did he really think we’re stupid? Can’t he tell something is wrong judging by how fearful we are of Duan Ling Tian?”

“Serves him right! Would we concede two King Grade Celestial Weapons to Duan Ling Tian for no reason at all?”

“Hmph! With Duan Ling Tian’s strength, I don’t think I’d say anything even if he demands all three King Grade Celestial Weapons.”

A young man, who was part of the three participants who were unaware of Duan Ling Tian’s strength, sighed in relief. ‘Thank goodness…’ Although he was unaware of Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he had chosen not to oppose Duan Ling Tian when he recalled the conversations he had heard. He was truly thankful; his decision to stay silent had saved his life. Then, he turned to look at a middle-aged man and sighed inwardly. ‘I’m afraid this fellow is in trouble…’

The middle-aged man was one of the two men who had ridiculed and opposed Duan Ling Tian earlier. Seeing the young man’s miserable death, at this moment, the middle-aged man’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was looking at a terrifying monster.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had just claimed the young man’s Spatial Ring and King Grade Celestial Weapon and put them away. The points the young man had accumulated were also transferred to his Accumulative Points Jade as well. Then, he looked at the middle-aged man pointedly. “Now, it’s your turn…” His expression that had remained calm from the beginning until now would have made those who were unaware of the situation think he was having a casual conversation with the middle-aged man.

“Y-you…” the middle-aged man stuttered. His face turned even paler. He said in a trembling voice, “Y… Y-you can’t k-kill me… If you k-kill me, my clan won’t let you get away with it. My… M-my clan is…”

Duan Ling Tian chuckled as he interjected, “How are they going to find out that I killed you?” He raised his giant sword that was raging with his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the law of earth’s Earth Elemental Profundity. The giant sword emitted a golden light that was laced with purple qi. It looked extremely magical.

Xue Jing Yu laughed. “This man is really an idiot! Doesn’t he know that any memories of the Celestial Lord Temple, whether they belong to those who enter the temple or not, will be erased?”

“That’s right! In the past, there were many people who entered the Celestial Lord Temple in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Temple, but all their memories were erased as soon as they exited the realm. It’s obvious there’s a Formation that erases our memories of the Celestial Lord Temple.”

“It doesn’t even matter that so many people are witnessing his death. After all, none of us will remember it after leaving the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Temple.”

The other participants looked at the middle-aged man with pity. He could only blame himself for seeking death by provoking someone like Duan Ling Tian.

The middle-aged man who had heard the conversation in the surroundings fell into despair. In the end, he hastily fell to his knees and kowtowed as he anxiously said, “Please spare my life. I’m willing to give you everything I have!” Faced with death, he no longer cared about his pride or dignity. After all, what did anything else matter if he died?

Duan Ling Tian smiled contemptuously as he replied, “Your belongings will still be mine after I kill you…”

“After we leave the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, I… I’ll give you more things… Just spare my life. Please!” the middle-aged man continued to plead.

Alas, all the middle-aged man got as a reply was Duan Ling Tian charging at him with the giant sword, looking like the Grim Reaper with his scythe.

Xue Jing Yu and the others shook their heads again when they heard the middle-aged man’s words.

“This idiot…”

They would have no memories of this after leaving the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Would the middle-aged man still be able to remember to give Duan Ling Tian treasures at that time? Moreover, even if their memories were not erased, what reason did Duan Ling Tian have to believe his words? It was more likely that the middle-aged man would sic his clan on Duan Ling Tian in revenge.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Duan Ling Tian charged out with his giant sword in hand, leaving the void shaking and sounds of explosions in his wake.

Although the middle-aged man knew he was no match for Duan Ling Tian, he still tried to retaliate.

Boom!

When they collided, the middle-aged man was sent flying before he exploded into a blood mist, leaving two King Grade Celestial Weapons and his Spatial Ring behind.

Whoosh!

After claiming his prizes, Duan Ling Tian stepped toward the three purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons that had been nurtured by Celestial Lords.

Xue Jing Yu and the others naturally stepped aside to make way for Duan Ling Tian.

Xue Jing Yu sincerely congratulated Duan Ling Tian when Duan Ling Tian walked past him. “Congratulations, Duan Ling Tian.” Although a hint of envy could be seen in his eyes, it was not malicious like jealousy.

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly.

The other five participants followed in Xue Jing Yu’s footsteps and congratulated Duan Ling Tian. They were well aware they could not afford to offend him. Otherwise, they would definitely die.

“Congratulations!”

“Congratulations, brother!”

Xue Jing Yu did not expect the others would try to flatter Duan Ling Tian.

However, Duan Ling Tian ignored all of them, making a beeline for the King Grade Celestial Weapons.

The three black armors hovering in the air looked like the armors of a demon god. They were emitting a black light, and purple lightning bolts flashed around them. The void would ripple in tandem with the flashing purple lightning bolts. Duan Ling Tian felt a gust of terrifying wind blowing at him when he stood in front of the three armors.

‘Purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons that had been nurtured by Celestial Lords!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened as he reached out to take two King Grade Celestial Weapons. He did not waste any time and dripped a drop of his blood on each of the King Grade Celestial Weapons to claim ownership over them. Then, he put one on, replacing the Red Scale Vest.

‘My defense has risen tremendously!’ Black armor appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s body in just an instant. Indeed, a defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon that had been nurtured by a Celestial Lord was superior to its ordinary counterparts.

After putting away the Red Scale Vest and the other newly-obtained King Grade Celestial Weapon, Duan Ling Tian descended to the ground.

The remaining participants were jealous that Duan Ling Tian was able to obtain two King Grade Celestial Weapons so easily. However, they, naturally, did not dare to give voice to their thoughts. After all, they were no match for Duan Ling Tian who had comprehended two profundities of a law.

‘Thank goodness he’s kind enough to leave us with one King Grade Celestial Weapon…’

Xue Jing Yu and the others instantly shifted their attention back to the last King Grade Celestial Weapon hovering in the air. The tension between them quickly escalated, and they began to fight again.

Duan Ling Tian who had just landed on the ground felt a gust of wind next to him. He raised an eyebrow when he saw Ling Jue Yun who was standing nearby had disappeared.

Xue Jing Yu and the group of people who were in the midst of a battle were quick to discover something was amiss. Their expressions changed one after another when they saw a grey figure standing before the last King Grade Celestial Weapon.

“Ling Jue Yun!” Xue Jing Yu was quick to recognize Ling Jue Yun. His fighting spirit soared. He was not afraid of Ling Jue Yun. After all, their strength was on equal ground.

“I want this King Grade Celestial Weapon.” Ling Jue Yun looked at Xue Jing Yu and the remaining participants nonchalantly. He was not in a hurry to claim the King Grade Celestial Weapon.

“Does this brat think he’s Duan Ling Tian?”

“Preposterous! There’s only one King Grade Celestial Weapon left. We can’t let him have it!”

“Hmph! You’ll pay for your arrogance!”

After being forced to submission by Duan Ling Tian, these people’s anger that had been brewing inside finally erupted!
