War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ru Feng, Meng Luo, Elder Huo, and the members of the Qilin Clan watched as the huge fiery Qilin and giant monkey with golden fur engaged in a fierce battle.

The duo eventually left the battlefield, leaving devastated planets in their wake.

Bang!

Finally, Sun Wu Kong and Di Hong stopped attacking at the same time.

Di Hong reverted to his human form at this moment while Sun Wu Kong shrank in size, still maintaining his true form.

Usually, Sun Wu Kong would stay in his true form. He would only occasionally take on a human form.

“I lost.” Di Hong sighed. “Just 1,000 years have passed, but you’ve improved so much…”

The battle ended with Di Hong cornered. If it was a life-or-death battle, there was no doubt Di Hong would have died. Nevertheless, Sun Wu Kong would have suffered heavy injuries as well if it was a life-or-death battle.

“Old Man Di Hong, I’ve underestimated you,” Sun Wu Kong said as his eyes flashed, “I thought it’d be very easy for me to defeat you even if you possess a Divine Artifact, but that’s not the case… You’ve improved as well over the past 1,000 years.”

The two opponents were clearly surprised by each other’s improvements.

Di Hong said with a sigh, “My slight improvement is not worth mentioning compared to yours. I hope that one day I’ll be able to pass on my role as the Patriarch of the Qilin Clan and wander the world in a carefree manner like you…” The envy in his voice was very obvious.

Sun Wu Kong shook his head and said, “I don’t envy the situation you’re in, but there are many who are envious of you and your position. If you intended to kill me, I would surely die if you joined forces with the titled Celestial Emperors of your clan.” After a moment, he asked solemnly, “Old Man Di Hong, between you and the Heavenly Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven, who’s stronger?” It was rare for him to be so solemn.

Duan Ling Tian’s interest was piqued as well when he heard Sun Wu Kong’s question. He wanted to know how strong the Heavenly Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven was. After all, Di Hong’s current strength was comparable to an ordinary Heavenly Emperor.

“I don’t think I can last three rounds with him,” Di Hong said wryly. Then, he looked at Sun Wu Kong meaningfully and said, “Based on our battle earlier, I’d say you won’t last five rounds against him.”

“Three rounds?” Sun Wu Kong narrowed his eyes as he murmured, “An Eight Star God of War is so powerful?”

“Ordinary Eight Star Gods of War aren’t that powerful, but my senior isn’t an ordinary Eight Star God of Wars. However, Sun Wu Kong, based on your current strength, only a few people below Eight Star Gods of War are a match for you; they won’t even be able to defeat you…” Di Hong’s evaluation of Sun Wu Kong was rather high.

Upon hearing Di Hong’s words, Sun Wu Kong’s fighting spirit was ignited. His eyes shone with determination as he said, “It seems like I should enter the Nine Serenities Battlefield again so I can advance and become an Eight Star God of .” Then, he said, “Old Man Di Hong, this is the end of our battle today. I see a familiar face here today so I’ll leave after meeting him. I’ll challenge the Heavenly Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beast Heaven during my next visit here!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wu Kong suddenly appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. He exclaimed, “It’s really you, Three-legged Golden Crow! I thought I recognized the wrong person.”

“Great Sage, is there a second or third Three-legged Golden Crow in the world?” Elder Huo smiled wryly. “Since we’re from the Planet Yan Huang, we can clearly sense each other’s auras.”

“I didn’t expect to meet you again after the disappearance of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Moreover, you even managed to leave the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda,” Sun Wu Kong said.

“I didn’t leave the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with my own strength.” Elder Huo shook his head. “I only managed to conquer it and leave it with the help of the Heavenly Emperor I’m currently serving.”

“In any case, your feat is admirable.” Sun Wu Kong nodded. Then, he asked, “Which Heavenly Emperor are you serving?” His fighting spirit soared again when he asked this question.

Elder Huo replied, “The Heavenly Emperor of Solitary Destructive Heaven, Feng Qing Yang.”

“Feng Qing Yang?” Sun Wu Kong’s eyes widened. “It’s said that he has already attained godhood…”

Elder Huo only smiled faintly; he did not deny nor admit to the claims.

“Well, in any case, this is a blessing for you,” Sun Wu Kong said with a smile. “I’ll visit the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven if the chance arises… However, I might challenge the Heavenly Emperor of Solitary Destructive Heaven at that time!”

“Great Sage.” Elder Huo sighed. “My Lord Heavenly Emperor is unlike any of the Heavenly Emperors… Not only is he the youngest among them, but he also started cultivation later than the others. In fact, he started cultivating later than you as well.”

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised when he listened to the conversation between Sun Wu Kong and Elder Huo. When he was in the Saint Province Realm, Elder Huo had told him that the setting of the book, Journey to the West, in the Tang Dynasty was pure fiction. In reality, Sun Wu Kong had existed for more than tens of thousands of years. Tens of thousands of years were not considered a long time for Celestials in the Devata Realms.

“Are you implying that I’ll never surpass him for the rest of my life?” Sun Wu Kong narrowed his eyes; his fighting spirit soared even higher. “How exciting! I’m not one to shy away from a challenge!”

Elder Huo nodded and said with a smile, “I’ll look forward to that day…”

Before Sun Wu Kong left, Elder Huo introduced Meng Luo and Duan Ling Tian to him.

“Great Sage, this is the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, Meng Luo. He’s our Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s top titled Celestial Emperor.”

“The Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor?” Sun Wu Kong looked at Meng Luo. He smiled and said, “I’ve heard a lot about you. Just like me, you made a name for yourself by challenging many people. I hope to spar with you in the future.”

“Alright.” Meng Luo’s eyes shone with determination.

Following that, Elder Huo introduced Duan Ling Tian to Sun Wu Kong. “This is the Young Master of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. He’s from the same home planet as us.”

Sun Wu Kong looked at Duan Ling Tian, slightly surprised, “You’re from Planet Yan Huang as well?”

“Yes, I left Planet Yan Huang about 300 years ago,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile as he nodded.

“300 years ago?” Sun Wu Kong smiled, “What a coincidence! I returned to Planet Yan Huang once 300 years ago… Are you from that era?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“The people during that era had stopped cultivating. I hardly met any cultivators at that time. Those who did cultivate were very weak as well. You must have left Planet Yan Huang before I returned. Otherwise, I’m certain I would’ve met you,” Sun Wu Kong said.

In Sun Wu Kong’s opinion, Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base must have been rather high as well when Duan Ling Tian was on earth. However, only Duan Ling Tian knew that even if he was still on earth when Sun Wu Kong visited, Sun Wu Kong would never notice him. After all, he was just an ordinary human at that time.

“How old are you now? What’s your cultivation base?” Sun Wu Kong asked.

“I’m over 300 years old, and I just became One Basic Celestial Emperor,” Duan Ling Tian replied honestly.

Sun Wu Kong was slightly stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s reply. ‘A One Basic Celestial Emperor who’s just over 300 years old?’

At this moment, Di Yun Long and Di Wen Yu turned to look at Duan Ling Tian in surprise as well. They did not know he was so young.

At this time, Sun Wu Kong’s eyes suddenly glinted mischievously. Without any warning, a powerful energy surged out from his body and swept toward Duan Ling Tian.

“Young Master, look out!” Meng Luo cried out anxiously. He tried to shield Duan Ling Tian, but it was too late.

On the contrary, Elder Huo remained calm. He knew Sun Wu Kong was just testing Duan Ling Tian and did not mean any harm.

At this time, the space energy surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s body. Apart from the Space Elemental Profundity, his double-fused profundities from the law of space surged out as well along with his other profundities that had been comprehended to the mastery stage. Although he had only learned to fuse two profundities, he had already fused a few double-fused profundities.

‘A One Basic Celestial Emperor who’s less than 400 years old managed to comprehend all the profundities from the law of space to mastery stage and learned to fuse a few double-fused profundities…’ Sun Wu Kong’s eyes lit up. “Your name is Duan Ling Tian, right? Are you interested in joining me to cultivate?”

Based on Sun Wu Kong’s words, it seemed like he wanted to accept Duan Ling Tian as his disciple.
