War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The cave where the tree of Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit was planted was a secret place Jiang Lan had created in his past life when he was a Celestial Emperor. Although the cave has numerous offensive and defensive Formations, he was not powerful enough to control all of them at the moment. The only Formation he had control over at this moment was the Illusory Formation. With the Illusory Formation, he could control each person’s opponent.

“Hm?” Jiang Lan was trying to find stronger opponents for Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun through the Illusory Formation when he suddenly halted his movements. He was interrupted by a sudden wave from the law of water.

With this, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun were assigned opponents as normal. Similar to earlier, their opponents were peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had only comprehended two profundities from a law. Needless to say, the duo easily dealt with their opponents.

Jiang Lan was still going through the motions to take control of the Hallucinogenic Formation as he intended to choose stronger opponents for Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun.

“I wonder why Jiang Lan suddenly stops?” Ling Jue Yun asked through Voice Transmission, clearly puzzled.

“Lin Fei Yang has caught his attention…” Duan Ling Tian looked at Lin Fei Yang discreetly.

At this moment, Lin Fei Yang who was facing an opponent who had comprehended three profundities from the law of wind finally cast another profundity, in addition to the two earlier profundities and the one he barely comprehended. Unlike the one he had barely comprehended, he had comprehended this new profundity he cast to the rudimentary stage.

‘It’s just as I thought; he was hiding his true strength.’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Earlier, he had suspected Lin Fei Yang had comprehended more than two profundities from the law of water. After all, Lin Fei Yang was the host chosen by a second-form World Cleansing Divine Water.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lan looked at Lin Fei Yang with a gleam in his eyes. ‘This Lin Fei Yang has actually comprehended three profundities from the law of water? Moreover, he’s already in the process of comprehending the fourth profundity? Apart from Ling Jue Yun and Duan Ling Tian, he’s the third person who’s younger than 100 years old. Like Ling Jue Yun, he’s also not a reincarnated Celestial. In my previous life, I didn’t even get to meet such a talent. Who knew in this life I would meet two of them at once?’

At this moment, Lin Fei Yang had gained the upper hand. In thirty moves, he managed to kill his opponent who had comprehended three profundities from the law of wind. In fact, his opponent was the first to die among the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended three profundities from a law.

Similar to all those who had died, Lin Fei Yang became nutrients for the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit.

‘As expected of the person chosen by a second-form World Cleansing Divine Water.’ Duan Ling Tian was not surprised that Lin Fei Yang managed to kill his opponent, but he was still filled with praise for Lin Fei Yang’s talent in comprehending the law of water.

Not only was Lin Fei Yang less than 100 years old, but he was also the host of a second-form World Cleansing Divine Water. Once the World Cleansing Divine Water evolved into the third form, it would help him comprehend the law of water greater than before. At that time, his talent would be even more heaven-defying!

‘Hm?’ At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was suddenly distracted. He shifted his eyes away from Lin Fei Yang to the source of the disturbance. He saw a beautiful figure having a hard time at this moment.

Murong Xiao Xiao’s lucky streak seemed to have ended. At this moment, her opponent was a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended three profundities from a law. Naturally, he easily overpowered her as soon as they began to fight.

After three moves, Duan Ling Tian watched as Murong Xiao Xiao died! Just like that, the most gifted member of the grade-seven Murong Clan in the Spirit Overarching Heaven died in the Jade Emperor Heaven.

When Murong Xiao Xiao died, her Soul Pearl in the Murong Clan shattered. Naturally, it shocked the entire clan. No one knew where she was, let alone how she died.

Only when news reached the Murong Clan about someone gathering peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials to sacrifice them to the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit that the Murong Clan guessed Murong Xiao Xiao had been tricked and was sacrificed to the tree as a result.

After Murong Xiao Xiao died, there were only about 500 people left.

Meanwhile, the thriving tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit had already sprouted two tiny buds at the top of the tree. The two tiny flower buds were blood-red as well. However, compared to the rest of the tree, the color seemed darker, making it look sinister.

In order for the tree to bear fruits, flowers must bloom first. Before the flowers bloomed, the tree must first have flower buds. This was just the first step of the tree bearing fruit, no one could say if it would successfully bear fruits. It all depended on luck.

However, through careful planning, Jiang Lan had increased the chances of the tree bearing the fruits to 50%.

“Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang will probably survive until the end… I’ll spare whoever who’s willing to be my slave and give him the other Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit!” After that, he shifted his attention away from Lin Fei Yang and continued manipulating the Illusory Formation with his hand again. In order to keep Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang alive until the end, he made sure the duo did not fight each other.

Naturally, Jiang Lan had not forgotten about Duan Ling Tian. He had arranged an opponent who had comprehended three profundities from the law of earth for Duan Ling Tian.

‘The Gravitational Space Profundity and the Shake Profundity?’

The opponent Jiang Lan chose for Duan Ling Tian used the law of earth’s Gravitational Space Profundity as soon as he attacked and used the Shake Profundity to try and trap Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, no stranger to these two profundities. He was very familiar with them. Although he did not fully comprehend the Gravitational Space Profundity, he has a basic understanding of it. As for the Shake Profundity, he knew about its traits even though he did not comprehend it.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian seemed to transform into a ball of flames as he shot out in the air. His speed greatly surpassed his opponent. However, although his speed is greater, his opponent had comprehended the law of earth’s Gravitational Space Profundity after all.

Pillars formed by the Earth Elemental Profundity trapped Duan Ling Tian, and the space began to shrink. With this, Duan Ling Tian’s speed became useless. Then, he hastily used his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring, to try and break free.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt a crushing force on his body from all directions. As a result, it weakened his advances. At the same time, the cage he was trapped in began to shake.

‘The Gravitational Space Profundity repels force and attack using the Shake Profundity…’

The pressure mounted as Duan Ling Tian’s opponent pressed on. He could feel it taking a toll on him. It was going to be difficult for him to break free if this continued. ‘If this continues, he won’t be able to defeat me, but I won’t be able to defeat him either. It seems like I must expose a trump card to break free of this balance.’

With that thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian raised his left hand. A ring appeared in his left hand; it was similar to the one in his right hand. However, their auras were different and their colors were different as well. It was the Mystical Ying Nine Water Chestnut Ring that was a pair with the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring. It was also a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.

Previously, when he was free, he had experimented with the two weapons and discovered the two weapons could be combined. Although their combined forces were not as powerful as an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, they surpassed most Royal Grade Celestial Weapons.

“Duan Ling Tian… Where did he get so many Royal Grade Celestial Weapons?” Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian retrieving another Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, Jiang Lan was shocked even if he was not particularly impressed.

Among the more than 10,000 peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials he had tricked, dead or alive, Duan Ling Tian was the only one who possessed a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Moreover, he had more than one Royal Grade Celestial Weapon!

“Hm? The two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons can be combined?” Jiang Lan watched as Duan Ling Tian combined the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon in his left hand and right hand together. After that, Duan Ling Tian injected some Celestial Origin Energy boosted with the Fire Elemental Profundity into the rings, making them much more powerful than before.

It should be noted that not all Royal Grade Celestial Weapons could be combined and have their powers stacked. Clearly, this was not the case for Duan Ling Tian’s two offensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapons.

The two weapons synced harmoniously and amplified their strength. It was almost comparable to an offensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!

“What a lucky lad! He managed to find two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons that can be combined.”

Although the strength Duan Ling Tian showed was on par with Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang, Jiang Lan merely thought Duan Ling Tian was lucky. In his eyes, Duan Ling Tian was not as talented as Ling Jue Yun and Lin Fei Yang!
