War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

There were nine titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace. All of them had such high status that they could decide one’s life or death.

Although Duan Ling Tian was the student of Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor, he was just a newcomer who had yet to prove himself. Therefore, Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor, decided to take advantage of this to avenge his disciple, Liu Jian.

“Incompetence? Well said!” Gu Chang Jian said coldly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian with an equally cold gaze. At the same time, he sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian as well. “Duan Ling Tian, you’re just a newcomer. Xu Lang won’t blame me even if I kill you. You have two choices now; die or leave Xu Lang and become my disciple. If you take Liu Jian’s place and become my disciple, I guarantee that your treatment will be much better than his…”

Although Gu Chang Jiang was clearly eager to kill Duan Ling Tian, his Voice Transmission was clearly persuading Duan Ling Tian to abandon Xu Lang and follow him.

Upon hearing Gu Chang Jiang’s message, Duan Ling Tian smiled.

Gu Chang Jiang’s expression darkened. “What are you smiling about?”

“If I leave my teacher, Xu Lang, and become your disciple… Who knows if you’ll take advantage of the situation and kill me before I join you,” Duan Ling Tian said calmly, “At that time, even Teacher Xu Lang won’t protect me. It doesn’t matter which choice I make since both choices lead to death… It’s truly a good plan.”

“Am I, Gu Chang Jiang, someone who reneges on my words? As long as you join me, I won’t kill you…” Before Gu Chang Jiang finished speaking, his expression changed drastically. He realized Duan Ling Tian had responded out loud, exposing him to everyone. “B*stard! How dare you play tricks on me?”

At this moment, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder and the Heavenly Pool Palace disciples looked at Gu Chang Jian with a strange expression on their faces. The Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor was so shameless that he tried to force Duan Ling Tian under the threat of death to join him even though his disciple had just died?

“Boy, you have a death wish!” Gu Chang Jiang knew his reputation would be tarnished once this matter spread out. At this point, he decided it was best to kill Duan Ling Tian as quickly as possible.

Upon sensing Gu Chang Jiang’s killing intent, Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly, ‘Teacher Xu Lang should be arriving soon, right?’

Similar to Hong Fei, as soon as Gu Chang Jian appeared, Duan Ling Tian had sent a message to Xu Lang. Xu Lang had also replied, saying that he would come over immediately.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a sword cry rang in the air just as Gu Chang Jiang was about to make his move.

A green sword ray that seemed like it had appeared out of thin air transformed into the figure of a person. It was none other than Duan Ling Tian’s teacher, Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor.

Xu Lang glanced at Gu Chang Jiang indifferently as he said icily, “Gu Chang Jiang, what’s the meaning of this? Are you trying to disrespect me by attacking my student?”

Based on his tone, it was obvious Xu Lang was furious. His terrifying aura rippled into the surroundings as though he was about to attack any moment.

Seeing the two titled Celestial Emperors in a confrontation, the Heavenly Pool Palace disciples’ eyes lit up immediately. They furtively sent messages to their peers about the incident. With this, it did not take long before a growing crowd formed outside of the Prodigy Arena.

“Xu Lang, your disciple didn’t even bow to me when he saw me. How disrespectful! I was just trying to teach him a lesson so he learns to respect his elders.” Since Xu Lang had appeared, Gu Chang Jiang knew he would not be able to attack or kill Duan Ling Tian. If he made a move, Xu Lang would definitely intervene before he could even lay a finger on Duan Ling Tian. After all, Xu Lang was much stronger than him.

Swoosh!

In just a few moments, another figure appeared in the Prodigy Arena. It was none other than Lei Ying, the Pavilion Master of the Sword Trial Pavilion, who was also known as the Merciless Celestial Emperor.

Lei Ying’s gaze was cold as she stared at Gu Chang Jiang and flatly said, “Gu Chang Jiang, how dare you touch a member of my Sword Trial Pavilion!”

“Pavilion Master Lei Ying, it’s a misunderstanding.” Gu Chang Jiang’s expression turned unsightly when he saw Lei Ying appearing next to Xu Lang. He forced a smile on his face despite his frustration of having to face two titled Celestial Emperors at the same time. Although Xu Lang was stronger than him, he was not too afraid. However, how could he not feel afraid faced with two titled Celestial Emperors?

“A misunderstanding? My Sword Trial Pavilion elder is injured. How’s this a misunderstanding?” Lei Ying’s gaze grew even colder.

Meanwhile, Xu Lang sent a Voice Message to Lei Ying. “Lei Ying, let’s join forces today and teach Gu Chang Jiang a lesson today.”

“Alright.” Lei Ying agreed easily.

The two titled Celestial Emperors did not waste words and swept toward Gu Chang Jiang, flanking him on both sides.

As soon as Xu Lang and Lei Ying swept toward Gu Chang Jiang, the disciples in the arena could naturally tell a fight was about to break out. Moreover, they could sense the formidable auras and their Celestial Origin Energies.

No one was curious about the outcome at all. After all, Xu Lang alone was stronger than Gu Chang Jian. Now that Lei Ying had joined forces with Xu Lang, was there a need to guess Gu Chang Jiang’s outcome?

“This…”

“Lord Lei Ying and Lord Xu Lang are attacking Lord Gu Chang Jiang?”

“Heavens! A fight between three titled Celestial Emperors?!”

Meanwhile, the disciples who just arrived were confused when they saw the two titled Celestial Emperors making a move.

“What’s going on?”

“Aren’t they the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor and the Merciless Celestial Emperor? Hey, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor is here as well!”

A disciple laughed before he replied to his friends who had just arrived, “You came just in time. I wonder how many moves the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor will be able to endure from the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor and the Merciless Celestial Emperor?”

Upon hearing these words, the newly arrived disciples’ eyes lit up in anticipation.

Meanwhile, even Duan Ling Tian and the Sword Trial Pavilion elder did not expect Xu Lang and Lei Ying to attack Gu Chang Jiang.

The elder’s eyes shone with reverence as he looked at Lei Ying.

“Xu Lang, Lei Ying, what are you doing?!” Gu Chang Jiang was shocked when he saw Xu Lang and Lei Ying joining forces to deal with him. There was nothing he could do but to defend himself at this moment.

Boom!

Lei Ying’s raging energy surged out like a ferocious beast as bolts of purple lightning flashed around it. A thunderous explosion rang in the air as the energy shot toward Gu Chang Jiang. Based on this, it was obvious that she had comprehended the law of thunder.

“The law of thunder…” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly. He could tell Lei Ying had comprehended

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. He was not surprised that Lei Ying had comprehended all the profundities from the law of thunder to the mastery stage. However, he was surprised by Lei Ying’s seemingly crude and simple attack that seemed strange to him.

‘All the profundities from the law of thunder are so in sync when she cast them… No wonder, the power of the attack is much stronger than it seems.’ Duan Ling Tian finally figured out what was different about the seemingly simple attack. A titled Celestial Emperor was, indeed, extraordinary.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Unlike Lei Ying’s simple and crude approach, the chilling sword rays that revolved around Xu Lang shot out as he pointed at Gu Chang Jiang. Their auras were so cold that the disciples in the arena felt as though they were in an ice cave. As the sword rays shot out, the void in the air seemed to freeze in their wake. Obviously, Xu Lang had comprehended the law of ice.

“Xu Lang! Lei Ying! Don’t cross the line!” Gu Chang Jiang’s expression was unsightly. He was panicking as he tried to defend himself against the attacks of two titled Celestial Emperors.

“Don’t cross the line?” Xu Lang sneered. His sword rays froze and destroyed Gu Chang Jiang’s attack as soon as they collided. With just a strike, it was exceedingly clear that Xu Lang’s strength far overwhelmed Gu Chang Jiang’s strength.

Nevertheless, it was clear that Xu Lang and Lei Ying were not done with Gu Chang Jiang.

After Xu Lang attacked, it was now Lei Ying’s turn to attack. Her energy that was flashing with purple lightning bolts swept toward Gu Chang Jiang like the raging sea. Her attack was like the wrath of a thunder god.

Gu Chang Jiang’s expression changed drastically. His body began to shine as he hurriedly mobilized his energy to erect a strong defensive barrier around himself. At the same time, the silhouette of protective armor appeared on his body. At this moment, he was like a coward, no different from a tortoise hiding in its shell.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lei Ying’s energy landed on Gu Chang Jiang’s defensive barrier. The attack finally breached the barrier after exhausting half of its strength.

Bang!

The remaining energy from Lei Ying’s attack landed on Gu Chang Jiang and sent him flying in the air like a rag doll.

Gu Chang Jiang tried to stabilize his footing as he flew in the air. Although he was not severely injured, with his torn robes, he looked incredibly miserable.
