War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

No one expected Swordsman Chu to make a move at all. After all, when he had just arrived, he had said he had only come to watch the show. No one expected he would join Ji Ying and Yue Chao Qun at the crucial moment and help them to deal with Duan Ling Tian.

Swordsman Chu and Yue Chao Qun were both veteran Nine Stars God of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. Even Ji Ying had been a Nine Star God of War for a long time now could be considered a veteran compared to Duan Ling Tian. To think these three veteran Nine Star Gods of War were joining forces to deal with a newly-promoted Nine Star God of War. Did these veterans have no shame?

Naturally, even if the members of the Given Alliance thought their leader had no shame, they did not dare to voice their thoughts out.

There were also people who thought there was nothing wrong with Ji Ying, Yue Chao Qun, and Swordsman Chu’s actions. After all, as the saying went, ‘All’s fair in love and war’.

“Duan Ling Tian, ever since I left the Nine Serenities Battlefield, you’re the first person who made me draw my artifact,” Yue Chao Qun said. At some point, what looked like a crutch had appeared in his hand. It looked as though it was made entirely from crystals, and streaks of blue lights twined around it like dragons. When he brandished his crutch, the wave of energy from the law of water seemed to have been boosted and swept toward Duan Ling Tian with a strength that was much more powerful than before. It was like an unstoppable flood.

At the same time, Ji Ying silently brought out a bead that glowed with green energy. Soon enough, the energy began to form sword rays. He channeled his Celestial Origin Energy into the bead, boosting his attack. Accordingly, the energy from the law of wind grew stronger as it swept toward Duan Ling Tian.

As for Swordsman Chu, he had already used his Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon as soon as he made a move. Two streaks of light, which were crimson and ink colors respectively, twined around each other and glistened on the surface of the weapon. This was none other than his weapon spirit. Although it was not a divine artifact, it was still an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon with a weapon spirit. Its might was comparable to Ji Ying and Yue Chao Qun’s divine artifacts that did not have artifact souls.

In Devata Realms, many did not consider divine artifacts without artifact souls to be true divine artifacts. They thought of them as half-artifacts. When wielded by those who were weaker than Nine Star Gods of War, their might was not much different from Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons with weapon spirits. Only in the hands of Nine Star Gods of War, whose Celestial Origin Energies carried traces of Divine Energies, perhaps, they were stronger than Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons with weapon spirits.

As the crowd watched the three veteran Nine Star Gods of War attack Duan Ling Tian in unison, everyone was certain Duan Ling Tian would perish even if he had become a Nine Star God of War. They did not think he stood a chance in surviving at all.

“It doesn’t matter who it is, but they’ll definitely perish when faced with the simultaneous attacks of three veteran Nine Star Gods of War…”

“Only gods will be able to withstand these attacks…”

“Under these circumstances, I’m afraid it’d be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to cast his Teleportation Profundity as well…”

“That’s right. It’d be useless even if he had fused the Teleportation Profundity and the Transportation Profundity.”

The crowd’s eyes were fixed on the rampaging attacks sweeping toward Duan Ling Tian. The wind and water dragons were accompanied by Swordsman Chu’s golden sword rays as they pounced toward their target.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who was standing in the midst of the storm cast his Mastery Dao. In just a moment, the area within a radius of ten meters around him began to distort and ripple. When the energy from the law of wind and the law of water made contact with the space, they were instantly engulfed by the distorted space around Duan Ling Tian. However, due to the force of the energies, Duan Ling Tian’s Mastery Dao seemed to be struggling to contain and neutralize them. With the addition of Swordsman Chu’s golden sword rays, it would be even more difficult for Duan Ling Tian to deal with the attacks even if he had cast his Mastery Dao using his Celestial Origin Energy that carried traces of the Divine Energy.

‘They found another helper?’ Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow when he saw Swordsman Chu had also joined in. Although this was beyond his expectations, he did not panic at all. Instead, his eyes flashed coldly as he said, “Whether you’re from the Title Temple or the Given Alliance, all of you must die today!”

“Pine Willow Divine Tree!”

“Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword!”

With just a thought, Pine Willow Divine Tree’s Godly Image Phenomenon appeared and began to solidify into form.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian opened his Little World. The Divine Tree of Life’s energy surged out and resonated with the Pine Willow Divine Tree. The Pine Willow Divine Tree shone with a white light as soon as the energy from the Divine Tree of Life surged into it.

Ji Ying, Yue Chao Qun, and Swordsman Chu’s attacks landed on the Pine Willow Divine Tree, dealing heavy damage to its trunk and branches. Nevertheless, in the next moment, the trunk and branches healed themselves and regrew. This was the healing power of the Divine Tree of Life.

After becoming a Nine Star God of War, Duan Ling Tian discovered he could use his Celestial Origin Energy that contained traces of the Divine Energy to connect the Divine Tree of Life in his Little World and the Pine Willow Divine Tree, allowing the Pine Willow Divine Tree to gain the healing power of the Divine Tree of Life.

At this moment, Huang’er, the artifact soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword appeared. Her body shone with a seven-colored light when she appeared. She bowed and said to Duan Ling Tian, “Master, let me deal with them on your behalf!”

Following that, a sword-shaped mark appeared on Huang’er’s glabella. It shone dazzlingly with seven-colored lights that resonated with the sword beneath Duan Ling Tian’s feet. At this moment, the Pine Willow Divine Tree seemed indestructible.

The seven-colored light intensified and lit up the surroundings immediately. At the same time, it shrouded the three attacks from Duan Ling Tian’s opponents.

With this, Duan Ling Tian withdrew the Pine Willow Divine Tree’s Godly Image Phenomenon before he looked at the scene before him in shock. Earlier, he had cast the Pine Willow Divine Tree’s Godly Image Phenomenon using the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword as well. However, he did not expect Huang’er would attack on her own initiative. Moreover, the power she displayed was rather shocking.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The seven-colored light suddenly flashed before it weaved a dazzling net made of light.

The crowd was in shock when they saw this scene. After all, they were sure Duan Ling Tian would die. However, contrary to their expectations, Duan Ling Tian seemed to be holding his own.

“This…”

“What’s that seven-colored light? It’s only growing brighter and brighter!”

“That’s from Duan Ling Tian, right?”

“Although it seems impossible, I have no idea why I have a feeling that Ji Ying, Yue Chao Qun, and Swordsman Chu’s attacks are going to be thwarted…”

“He’s a new Nine Star God of War, right? Why does he possess such strength?”

At this time…

Boom!

An explosion of light erupted accompanied by a thunderous sound. The explosion of the seven-colored light was blindingly bright that it seemed as though the sun itself had exploded.

At the same time, members of the Given Alliance who had lower cultivation bases were instantly killed by this explosion of light. There were also those with higher cultivation bases who were heavily injured.

Only those Seven Star Gods of War or those who were stronger managed to retreat in time. Even then, their faces were incredibly pale.

“Duan Ling Tian can’t be a god, right?”

“Of course not! Otherwise, how could he stay in the Nine Serenities Battlefield?”

“I’m afraid there aren’t many Nine Star Gods of War who could hold their own against this kind of power!”

When the seven-colored light finally dimmed, everyone saw Duan Ling Tian who looked to be completely unharmed. In just a moment, their eyes were drawn to the figure standing in front of Duan Ling Tian and wielding a sword, clearly protecting Duan Ling Tian.

“Who’s that?”

Dressed in a seven-colored robe, Huang’er looked rather majestic. Her face was pleasing to the eyes, but the coldness flashing in her eyes seemed to alienate the people around her.

While Ji Ying, Yue Chao Qun, and Swordsman Chu looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huang’er in bewilderment, Huang’er cried out in a melodious but frosty voice, “Those of you who dare to make a move against my master, die!”

As soon as her voice fell, Huang’er shot out without any hesitation.

Swoosh!

A seven-colored light flashed again.

Yue Chao Qun hurriedly mobilized all his defenses. Alas, it was too late. In just a second, his glabella was ruthlessly pierced. With this, he died immediately.

Silence descended immediately.

Thud!

When Yue Chao Qun’s corpse fell to the ground, the bewildered expression from when he was alive still could be seen on his face. Even the terror and disbelief could still be seen lingering in his eyes. Even before his death, it was clear that he did not expect such an outcome at all.

‘Huang’er…’ Duan Ling Tian looked at Huang’er in awe. ‘Is it possible that she underwent some transformation after traces of Divine Energy appeared in my Celestial Origin Energy?’

Since Duan Ling Tian just had a breakthrough not long ago, he had yet to test the extent of his strength and the changes that the breakthrough brought him. So far, he had only discovered he could connect his Divine Tree of Life with his Pine Willow Divine Tree. He did not expect Huang’er would grow so much stronger from his breakthrough as well..
