War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3518: Duan Ling Tian is As Strong As a Six Star God of War?! “Duan Ling Tian, do you also have a secret technique to counteract my law of time?” Huang Quan An asked warily after he entered the battle ring. After being defeated by Ling Jue Yun and Tang San Pao consecutively, his confidence had wavered slightly. Initially, he was confident that he would be able to rank first in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses since he thought he was invincible among those weaker than a Six Star God of War. Who knew there was Tang San Pao was as strong as a Six Star God of War and Ling Jue Yun who was as strong as top Five Star God of War but was able to defeat him due to his innate talent in comprehending the law of death and his death clones? For this reason, Huang Quan An no longer aimed to rank first in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.

Huang Quan An could not help but feel wary now that another person had stepped forward to challenge him. Apart from that, the challenger was the only true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Feng Qing Yang, who was already a god. When he saw Duan Ling Tian’s relaxed and confident manner, he became wary. However, although he was wary, he thought it was unlikely that Duan Ling Tian was capable of defeating him due to Duan Ling Tian’s young age. Although Ling Jue Yun who was slightly under 700 years old like Duan Ling Tian managed to defeat him, it was only because of Ling Jue Yun’s extraordinary bloodline.

“No.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “I just want to try fighting you.”

Those who were confident Duan Ling Tian had a chance of winning were rendered speechless when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s reply. As it turned out, he only challenged Huang Quan An to gain experience and not to win?

“Does this mean Duan Ling Tian doesn’t hold any hope of winning?”

“From the beginning, I didn’t think Duan Ling Tian was capable of defeating Huang Quan An. I’m sure he’ll rank fourth and Huang Quan An will rank third in the Battle of the Geniuses. As for the first place, I think it’ll go to Tang San Pao.”

“Tang San Pao is as strong as a Six Star God of War. He’s obviously going to be the winner!”

Due to Duan Ling Tian’s words, even more people thought Duan Ling Tian would not win this match.

Huang Quan An shared similar thoughts with the crowd as well.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian asked, “The Instant Vicissitudes of Life should be the strongest attack in your arsenal, right?”

Huang Quan An did not know the purpose of this question, but he nodded anyway. The Instant Vicissitudes of Life was indeed his stronger attack, but he had to combine it with other techniques to make sure it landed on his opponents.

Duan Ling Tian who seemed aware of this said, “Just use the Instant Vicissitudes of Life directly. I won’t avoid it…”

“Just use the Instant Vicissitudes Of Life… I won’t dodge it. If I dodge it, it’ll be considered your win.”

Duan Ling Tian knew Huang Quan An doubted his words so he promised to admit defeat if he dodged the attack.

Although Duan Ling Tian’s voice was not loud, everyone heard his words clearly. Many people began to shake their heads as though they could already see the outcome of the match.

“It seems like Duan Ling Tian is really only trying to gain experience from this match…”

“If he doesn’t dodge, what hope does he have of withstanding Huang Quan An’s Instant Vicissitudes of Life?”

“Alright.” Since Duan Ling Tian had openly said these words, Huang Quan An felt assured. Indeed, he was worried that Duan Ling Tian was lying earlier. After all, if Duan Ling Tian dodged the attack, Duan Ling Tian would have an opening, and in turn, gain the upper hand. Although that did not mean he would lose, he would still be at a disadvantage. He naturally did not want to risk it. Now that Duan Ling Tian had given his word, he was no longer worried.

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Huang Quan An’s eyes began to glow as he cast the Instant Vicissitudes of Life. Two streaks of light shot out of his eyes and entered Duan Ling Tian’s body.

‘So this is the Instant Vicissitudes of Life…’ Duan Ling Tian stood unmoving as the attack entered his body. With this, he gained an understanding of how the Instant Vicissitudes of Life worked. It was a soul attack that damaged one’s soul, and in turn, affected one’s physical body. Since Huang Quan An’s Instant Vicissitudes of Life could not harm his soul, it was only natural that his physical body was unaffected. Moreover, he discovered he could dispel the energy from the Instant Vicissitude of Life if he wished to.

It did not take long before everyone discovered that Duan Ling Tian was not aging rapidly.

When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he said, “This is really remarkable. Anyone weaker than a Six Star God of War without special abilities like Ling Jue Yun really wouldn’t be able to resist your attack once it hits.”

One’s soul would continue to grow stronger as one’s cultivation base improved. For example, the soul of a Five Star God of War was weaker than that of a Six Star God of War. Apart from that, having a deeper comprehension of the laws also helped strengthen one’s soul. As for Duan Ling Tian, his soul was so powerful that Huang Quan An’s Instant Vicissitudes of Life was unable to harm him at all.

“Stop!” Huang Quan An cried out just as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell. Then, he launched an orb of energy that shot out and shrouded Duan Ling Tian. The energy orb that was capable of freezing time froze Duan Ling Tian immediately.

“Instant Vicissitudes of Life.” Huang Quan An was about to cast the attack again when he saw a smile blooming on Duan Ling Tian’s face.

Duan Ling Tian said, “This is pretty amazing. The law of time is truly worthy of its reputation.”

“You…” Huang Quan An’s eyes widened in horror when he saw he failed to freeze Duan Ling Tian. Shock and disbelief filled his eyes as he said, “You… You’re really as strong as a Six Star God of War!”

In fact, when the first Instant Vicissitudes of Life failed to age Duan Ling Tian, Huang Quan An was already very certain Duan Ling Tian was as strong as a Six Star God of War. However, he wanted to confirm it so he tried to freeze Duan Ling Tian.

At this time, the Heavenly Emperors of the various Devata Realms and the high-ranking officials from the Title Temple branches were shocked.

On the other hand, a solemn expression appeared on the face of Xu Kong Hai, the Vice Temple Master of the main Title Temple.

As for Great Master Miyan, he could barely conceal the greed in his eyes at this moment as he stared at Duan Ling Tian.

“Brother Feng, your true disciple held back a lot of his strength…” Ding Fu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven, said, “He’s not even 700 years old, but he’s already as strong as a Six Star God of War. Not to mention he’s an ascender. Brother Feng, not only are you talented and strong, but your ability to choose disciples is heaven-defying as well. Compared to your disciple, my disciples seem rather slow…”

Wei Qi, who was standing behind Ding Fu, could only smile wryly when his master who usually praised him said he was rather slow.

Needless to say, the crowd was in an uproar.

“Heavens! We have another participant comparable to a Six Star God of War!”

“Was there any Battle of the Geniuses in the past with two participants as strong as a Six Star God of War?!”

“I don’t think so.”

“We’re witnessing history in the making! To think there are two participants as strong as a Six Star God of War during this time’s Battle of the Geniuses…”

The young geniuses were all excited as though they themselves were the ones who possessed the strength of a Six Star God of War.

On the other hand, people like Yu Dong Fang who thought Duan Ling Tian was a match for them paled immediately. Yu Dong Fang knew it would be difficult for him to surpass Duan Ling Tian in this lifetime.

Zhong Gui Yu was also smiling wryly at this time. He murmured to himself, “Senior sister, your junior brother is much more heaven-defying than you described him to be… To possess the strength of a Six Star God of War before reaching 700 years old, I’m afraid someone like that isn’t common even among the natives of the Realms of Gods…”

Meanwhile, Ouyang Xu who had sought to join the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven as Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple over and over again finally understood why Feng Qing Yang did not accept him. He felt like a joke now. How could he be qualified to become Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple, considering how heaven-defying Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple was. After all, Duan Ling Tian was even more outstanding than Tang San Pao, the Title Temple’s hidden ace, since Tang San Pao was older than Duan Ling Tian.

Back in the battle ring, Duan Ling Tian asked, “Shall we continue?”

“What’s the point in continuing?” Huang Quan An smiled bitterly. “You’re as strong as a Six Star God of War. Do you want to continue fighting just to feel good about yourself? I’m no match for you, Ling Jue Yun, and Tang San Pao…”

Following that, Huang Quan An turned to Xu Kong Hai and said, “I surrender, Vice Temple Master Xu.”

“Alright.” Xu Kong Hai nodded before he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and declared him the winner of the match. At this time, the complex emotions in his heart were even more intense than before.
