War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ru Feng’s words caused Duan Ling Tian to fall silent. Naturally, he was worried about his mother as well. However, he knew there was no use worrying; he would have to work harder to find her. After a moment, he said, “Father, you should bid farewell to her…”

After speaking to Duan Ru Feng, Duan Ling Tian could not wait to look for his mother, Li Rou; his wife, Li Fei; his son, Duan Nian Tian; and the others.

When Duan Ling Tian turned to leave to give his father privacy, he caught a glimpse of Di Wen Yu. Di Wen Yu’s beauty was comparable to his mother’s. Moreover, Di Wen Yu’s status was definitely higher than her mother and her father. An ordinary man would not have been able to reject Di Wen Yu, but Di Wen Yu, naturally, would not fall for an ordinary man as well.

Duan Ling Tian was not worried as he left his father to bid farewell to Di Wen Yu. After all, with his current identity, Meng Luo’s presence, and Di Yun Long’s promise, she would have to let his father go no matter how unwilling she was. Moreover, Di Yun Long would never allow her to offend the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven for a human man.

When Duan Ling Tian returned to Meng Luo and Elder Huo’s sides, Meng Luo was talking to Di Yun Long and reminiscing about their time in the Nine Serenities Battlefield.

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “Seniors, is it true that the Nine Serenities Battlefield is somewhat similar to the Purgatory Battlefield?”

“It’s similar, but it’s also very different,” Di Yun Long replied with a smile, “Unlike the heart of the Purgatory Battlefield where most Celestial Lords could be found fighting, there’s no such place in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. Apart from that, there are no Illusory Formations in the Nine Serenities Battlefield as well.”

Duan Ling Tian was stunned. “There are no Illusory Formations? Then how do we enter the secret zones?”

In the Purgatory Battlefield, the secret zones were intricately linked to the Illusory Formations. It was only natural Duan Ling Tian was surprised that was not the case in the Nine Serenities Battlefield.

Di Yun Long said with a smile, “Every secret zone in the Nine Serenities Battlefield is a small independent realm. All of them have a standard entry and exit point. Celestial Emperors who are worthy will be led to the entrances…”

“On the other hand, the Nine Serenities Battlefield is similar to the Purgatory Battlefield in the sense where there’s a ranking as well. The highest military rank in the Purgatory Battlefield is known as commanders while their counterparts in the Nine Serenities Battlefield are known as gods of war.”

‘God of war?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened immediately.

“There are many strong Celestial Emperors in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. However, to obtain the title of god of war, one has to possess strength comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor at least. The title is further divided into different categories. For example, even the weakest titled Celestial Emperor would be able to obtain the title of god of war, but their title would be One Star God of War. The more powerful ones could obtain the title of a Two Star God of War. Those with strength comparable to Heavenly Emperors are usually able to obtain the rank of a Seven Star God of War,” Di Yun Long explained.

After listening to Di Yun Long’s words, Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “What are your and Senior Meng Luo’s ranks?”

Di Yun Long replied with a smile, “I’m a Six Star God of War. Meng Luo hasn’t entered the Nine Serenities Battlefield in a long time. However, with his strength, he’d easily be a Six Star God of War.”

Duan Ling Tian learned a lot about the Nine Serenities Battlefield from his conversation with Di Yun Long and Meng Luo. Moreover, he learned that titled Celestial Emperors would use their ranks in the Nine Serenities Battlefield to describe their strength.

Di Yun Long continued to say, “Our Qilin Clan has two Seven Star Gods of War and one Eight Star God of War. The Eight Star God of War is our Lord Heavenly Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven. As for the two Eight Star Gods of War, they’re our Patriarch and Supreme Elder respectively.”

“Before your master, Feng Qing Yang, entered the Asura Hell, he was considered the strongest among Seven Star Gods of War. Later on, he easily killed Chen Qiu Nuo who was also a Seven Star God of War, indicating that he’s at least an Eight Star God of War at that time. Naturally, if he has really attained godhood, the god of war title would no longer apply to him. After all, even a Nine Star God of War wouldn’t be able to defeat him if that were the case…”

Di Yun Long’s explanation had enlightened Duan Ling Tian. He never knew there were so many differences between titled Celestial Emperors.

Duan Ling Tian turned around and asked curiously, “What about you Elder Huo?”

Elder Huo was stronger than You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the heaven-grade Heavenly Pool Palace in the Boundless Heaven, so Duan Ling Tian was curious about his strength.

Elder Huo shook his head and said, “I’ve never entered the Nine Serenities Battlefield so I don’t have an official rank. However, if I were to guess, my strength is probably among the strongest Five Star Gods of War…”

Five Star Gods of War were usually ordinary leaders of ordinary heaven-grade forces.

Meng Luo chimed in at this moment, “Elder Luo is being humble. I think he could easily be a Six Star God of War…”

The men continued chatting, and from their conversations, Duan Ling Tian gained more knowledge about the differences in strength between titled Celestial Emperors. You Feng Yu for example was just an average Five Star God of War. The Heavenly Pool Palace’s Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor and the dead Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor were Four Star Gods of War; Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor, and Lei Ying, the Merciless Emperor, should be Three Star Gods of War; the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor and the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor were Two Star Gods of War; the Smoke Wave Celestial Emperor was only a One Star God of War.

‘No wonder. Elder Huo who has the strength of a Six Star God of War could easily defeat You Feng Yu who’s only an average Five Star God of War,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

At this moment, a voice rang in the air, pulling Duan Ling Tian back from his thoughts.

“Tian’er.”

Duan Ling Tian looked up and saw his father walking toward him with Di Wen Yu, Di Yun Long’s niece. Her expression seemed much better than before. He wondered what his father had said to her since he would see the unhappiness on her face and the unwillingness in her eyes earlier. Currently, she no longer looked unhappy nor unwilling.

“Father…” Duan Ling Tian called out.

Duan Ling Tian was just about to introduce Duan Ru Feng to Meng Luo and Elder Huo when a sharp and deafening voice rang from the distance.

“Old Man Di Hong! Come fight me!”

The piercing voice caused some discomfort to Duan Ling Tian’s ears. He only felt better once he circulated his Celestial Origin Energy.

Di Yun Long said with a bitter smile, “It seems like that monkey is here again! He seems confident about defeating our Patriarch this time!”

Di Hong was the Patriarch of the Qilin Clan, a top Seven Star God of War.

Upon hearing Di Yun Long’s words, Elder Huo’s eyes widened in shock as he said, “Monkey? This voice, this manner of speaking… Don’t tell me he’s the Jade Emperor Heaven’s Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor?”

“That’s right. It’s Sun Wu Kong.” Di Yun Long nodded. Then, he asked curiously, “Elder Huo, do you know him?”

“I’ve known him for a long time, but I haven’t seen him in a long time as well. I didn’t expect he’d grow strong enough to challenge the Patriarch of the Qilin Clan…” Elder Huo sighed emotionally.

Di Hong, the Patriarch of the Qilin Clan, was one of the top Seven Star Gods of War. Feng Qing Yang aside, even the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s strongest warrior was no match for Di Hong.

Di Yun Long’s eyes flashed as he said, “1,000 years ago, he fought to a draw with our Patriarch. Now that he’s here again, he must be confident about winning…”

At this moment, Di Yun Long suddenly raised an eyebrow as though he was listening to something. Then, he said to Duan Ling Tian and the others, “Our patriarch just sent me a Voice Transmission to watch his fight with the Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor… Meng Luo, Young Master Duan, Elder Huo, would you like to watch the battle as well? It’s rare to be able to witness a battle like that…”

As soon as Di Yun Long’s voice fell, an ancient and clear voice rang out. “Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor? It seems like you’ve improved…”

“Old Man Di Hong, I came here to defeat you this time. After defeating you, I’m going to challenge the Brilliant Celestial Emperor…”

The conversations between the duo shook the entire Qilin Clan’s estate.

“Of course, I’ll go watch.” Meng Luo’s eyes lit up upon hearing Di Yun Long’s invitation.

“I want to see how much he has improved as well. I’m lucky to be here today.” Elder Huo was clearly excited as well.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was in a daze. ‘Monkey? The Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor? Sun Wu Kong?’

Duan Ling Tian was so shocked that he did not even hear Di Yun Long’s invitation. He only regained his senses when Elder Huo and his father called out to him. He instinctively cried out, “Yes, I want to watch the battle!”

What a joke! How could he not want to watch the battle? They were talking about Sun Wu Kong, one of the legendary characters on earth!

Duan Ling Tian was further stunned when he learned that Di Hong, one of the top Seven Star God of War, only fought to a draw with Sun Wu Kong 1,000 years ago. Since Sun Wu Kong had come here to challenge Di Hong, did it not mean that Sun Wu Kong was at the very least an Eight Star God of War?
