War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian was unaware of the hatred, anger, and vengeance that Kong You Yi harbored in his heart. Nevertheless, he would not have cared even if he was aware of it. Kong You Yi had insulted him multiple times today; he did not want to bother with Kong You Yi, but after he gave an inch, Kong Youyi took a mile. He felt his actions were completely justified.

Since Duan Ling Tian dared to make a move, he was not afraid of the consequences. In his eyes, Kong You Yi was just like a clown. Therefore, he no longer pursued the matter when Li Fei asked him to release Kong You Yi on behalf of the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor.

Now that the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor had witnessed his and Elder Huo’s strength, Duan Ling Tian knew she would no longer dare to look down on them. He said solemnly, “Purple Spike Celestial Emperor, I’m Little Fei’er’s husband; it’s only natural that I want the best for her. I wouldn’t bring her away if I couldn’t provide her with a superior cultivation environment and resources. You can’t even begin to imagine how important she is to me.”

It was as Duan Ling Tian expected. The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was certain her disciple’s husband was no ordinary person after witnessing his strength. He was the same age as her disciple, but he was far stronger. His strength was not something that could be attributed to luck alone.

In the cultivation world, everyone abided by the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was just like everyone else and had to abide by this law. For this reason, she longer took to heart the matter of Duan Ling Tian injuring Kong You Yi. Her gaze was much gentler as well as she looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “It seems like you lived a much better life than Fei’er during all those years… You’re not even 400 years old, right?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. When the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor asked about his age, he could not help thinking about his other wife, Ke’er, who was being held captive in the Divine Offering Land. There were slightly more than 600 years left before the passages from the Devata Realms to the Realms of Gods opened again. Perhaps, he would be satisfied with his current progress in the past. However, after meeting so many powerhouses, he realized his strength was still insignificant. Just among titled Celestial Emperors, they were divided into so many categories based on their strength.

In the Nine Serenities Battlefield, the weakest titled Celestial Emperors were One Star Gods of War while powerful titled Celestial Emperors were mostly Seven Star or Eight Star Gods of War. The strongest among titled Celestial Emperors were Nine Star Gods of War.

Unsurprisingly, Nine Star Gods of War already had one foot on the path of attaining godhood. For this reason, they were known as imminent gods. For their strength to exceed those of Ten Directions Celestial Emperors, their comprehension of the laws had reached an incredibly high level.

The difference between a god and an imminent god was not just their strength. Their souls were completely different as well. For an imminent god to truly become a god, their souls had to undergo a change. The key to the change was their comprehension of the laws’ profundities.

Meanwhile, Li Fei was still shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s act of overpowering Kong You Yi. ‘This scoundrel is even stronger than me?’

Li Fei regained her senses when she heard her master asking about her husband’s age. She really did not expect him to grow so strong in such a short time. Previously, she had assumed only Ke’er was stronger than her due to Ke’er’s past life’s identity. She did not expect him to be stronger than her.

“I’m not an unreasonable person.” The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s gaze turned even more gently when she looked at Li Fei. Her voice grew gentler as well as she continued to say to Duan Ling Tian, “Although Fei’er has only been my disciple for a few hundred years, I treat her like my biological daughter. Fate brought us together when she inherited my legacy in the mundane realm…”

“I’m someone who believes in fate. I believe Fei’er is the heavens’ gift to me. I only want the best for her. I understand your importance to her; not only are you her husband, but you’re the father of her child as well. I won’t force her to stay with me, but I do want the best for her. Like I said, as long as you can provide her with a better cultivation environment and cultivation resources, I won’t object to her leaving,” the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor continued to say, making her stance clear. It was obvious that even if it would hurt her, she would let Li Fei go as long as it was beneficial to Li Fei.

“Master…” Li Fei called out in a trembling voice when she heard her master’s words. At the same time, a guilty expression appeared on her face.

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, Elder Huo said, “Purple Spike Celestial Emperor, there’s no need for you to worry. What the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven provided Li Fei, the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven will be able to provide her as well…”

‘The Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven?’ The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s eyes widened in surprise when she heard Elder Huo’s words. Although she had suspected Duan Ling Tian must have a strong backing from a heaven-grade force or a Heavenly Palace of a Devata Realm, she did not expect it to be the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

In the past, Feng Qing Yang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, had fought with the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven once; the fight had ended in a draw at that time.

It was no secret that Feng Qing Yang was forced to escape to the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms.

At that time, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor remembered her master had sighed wistfully at that time upon receiving the news that Feng Qing Yang was trapped in the Asura Hell. Her master had said that Feng Qing Yang might not be the strongest Heavenly Emperor yet, but there was no doubt Feng Qing Yang was the most talented Heavenly Emperor. Feng Qing Yang was also the one with the highest potential to attain godhood.

Her master had said that if Feng Qing Yang were to die in the Asura Hell, the heavens must have been jealous of his talent. If Feng Qing Yang were to survive the Asure Hell, he would surely soar to a high place and achieve great things.

Subsequently, when Feng Qing Yang returned from the Asura Hell and returned to the Solitary Destructive Heaven, he easily defeated Chen Qiu Bo who had usurped his throne during his absence. One had to know Chen Qiu Bo was not only a titled Celestial Emperor, but he was also a Seven Star God of War who made a name for himself in the Nine Serenities Battlefield.

At that time, her master, the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven, had speculated that Feng Qing Yang’s strength was likely that of an Eight Star or Nine Star God of War after his experience in the Asura Hell if he had not become a god.

Needless to say, if a Heavenly Emperor grew stronger, it went without saying that the status of the Devata Realm he or she governed would rise as well. When Feng Qing Yang returned and killed Chen Qiu Bo, a Seven Star God of War, it had already pushed the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven to a height that other Heavenly Emperors, including the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven, could only dream of.

“You… You’re with the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven?” the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor asked, slightly skeptically, as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. A wild thought appeared in her mind at this moment. She knew Feng Qing Yang did not have any true disciples so she could not help but wonder if Duan Ling Tian was one of Feng Qing Yang’s nominal disciples?

“That’s right.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Hence, you don’t have to worry about Little Fei’er’s cultivation environment or cultivation resources after she leaves the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven. The Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven will provide her with the best cultivation environment and resources.”

Despite Duan Ling Tian’s words, he planned to provide Li Fei with a cultivation environment even more superior to those in the Heavenly Palaces. The cultivation environment in his Little World was the best in all Devata Realms, after all. Han Xue Nai and Duan Nian Tian who entered his Little World ahead of Li Fei had already discovered the wonders of his Little World.

The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor asked to confirm her speculation, “Are you Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s nominal disciple? If you’re not, you still won’t be able to provide Fei’er with a better cultivation environment even if you belong to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.”

“Nominal disciple?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned for a moment. Then, he shook his head and said, “No, I’m not.”

“You’re not?” The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor frowned when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s reply. “If you’re not, you won’t be able to provide Fei’er with a better cultivation environment. I still think it’s best for her to stay in the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven.”

At this moment, Elder Huo said, “Purple Spike Celestial Emperor. My Young Master isn’t a nominal disciple of our Lord Heavenly Emperor. He’s the only true disciple of our Lord Heavenly Emperor. If we’re a stickler for etiquette, our Young Master’s status is equal to yours since you’re both true disciples of a Heavenly Emperor…”

“T-true disciple?!” The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was thoroughly shocked. As far as she knew, Feng Qing Yang did not have any true disciples. Was Duan Ling Tian recently accepted as a true disciple? If Duan Ling Tian was only recently accepted, how did he become so strong in such a short time?
