War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Everything happened so quickly that Qian Yue Jin, Qian Qiu, and the other rudimentary gods only regained their senses after Duan Ling Tian and Qian Shu Huan’s attacks collided. They hastily blocked the water that splashed at them.

On the other hand, those who had yet to attain godhood could not even see anything. They only heard the noise of something shooting toward them at top speed.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The barriers erected by the rudimentary gods shook when the water crashed against them. It looked as though the barriers were about to collapse.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the other rudimentary gods turned grim.

After the attacks subsided, everyone heard a loud crack. They instinctively turned to look in the direction of the sound. The first thing they saw was the face of Qian Shu Huan, the ancestor of the Qian family, which was pale as paper. Then, their eyes trailed downward, and they saw his right arm had been severed at the shoulder. Fortunately, he was able to staunch the bleeding.

Everyone inhaled sharply upon seeing the miserable state Qiu Shu Huan was in. How could a rudimentary god defeat an advanced god? They could hardly believe their eyes. Only a talented prodigy from one of the forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion was capable of such a feat.

‘Thank goodness!’ Qian Shu Huan thought to himself as he glanced at his right shoulder. To everyone’s surprise, he was not angry. Instead, after sighing in relief, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with a smile and said reverently with a bow, “Thank you for showing mercy, Young Master Duan!”

Qian Shu Huan was drenched in cold sweat after narrowly escaping death. He did not expect the Duan Ling Tian’s sword ray to suddenly swerve, avoiding his vital points and severing his right arm instead. It was clear to him that Duan Ling Tian had intentionally spared his life.

Duan Ling Tian smiled disdainfully as he asked, “Do you still plan to capture me and hand me over to the Glorious Heaven Sect.”

Qian Shu Huan was Duan Ling Tian’s strongest opponent since he came to the Realm of Gods. However, he could easily defeat an advanced god like Qian Shu Huan due to Qian Shu Huan’s inferior comprehension of the law.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head slightly. Although the inhabitants of Realms of Gods were blessed with a superior cultivation environment, their comprehension skills were really lacking. A rudimentary god from the Devata Realms could easily kill an intermediate god from a remote place in a Realm of Gods.

“Young Master Duan, you must be joking,” Qian Shu Huan smiled wryly as he said, “With your innate talent and comprehension skills, even the strongest force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion would give their all to cultivate you if you’re willing to join them. I didn’t expect Lord Ye Bei Yuan to find another disciple after his beloved disciple died 30 years ago. This is a blessing for Lord Ye Bei Yuan.”

Although Ye Bei Yuan meant to flatter Duan Ling Tian with these words, his words were sincere. He genuinely thought Duan Ling Tian was even more outstanding than the most famous prodigy in the Glorious Heaven Sect.

“So I assume you won’t intervene in this matter anymore?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

At this time, it was no longer important if Duan Ling Tian was a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect or not. His strength alone was enough.

“No, I won’t intervene.” Qian Shu Huan shook his head. His expression was dark as he swept his gaze across the members of the Qian family before it finally stopped on Qian Yue Jin. Then, he said tonelessly, “I didn’t expect the Qian family to be such a disappointment. Whoever offended Young Master Duan will have his fate decided by Young Master Duan. If anyone dares to object, then they no longer have to address me as ‘Ancestor’!”

Following that, before the members of the Qian clan could say anything, Qian Shu Huan hurriedly bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and left in a hurry. He was afraid Duan Ling Tian would change his mind and kill him out of anger because of Qian Fei. Even if there was a chance that Duan Ling Tian might annihilate the Qian family, he could not care about that now. Preserving his life was the most important thing now. He was lucky that he managed to escape alive.

The others only regained their senses after Qian Shu Huan left.

At this time, Meng Nian Yu, the head of the Meng family, moved to stand behind Duan Ling Tian. He stared at Qian Yue Jin pointedly as he said loudly, “Qian Yue Jin, if the Qian family insists on protecting Qian Fei, the Meng family and I will help Young Master Duan to annihilate the Qian family!”

The expressions of Qian Yue Jin and the members of the Qian family changed drastically upon hearing Meng Nian Yu’s words.

At the same time, the respective Sect Leaders of the Cloudy Morning Sect and the Heaven Martial Sect moved to stand behind Duan Ling Tian as well and stared at Qian Yue Jin. They were making their stance clear at this moment.

“Qian Yue Jin, hand Qian Fei over. Otherwise, the Cloudy Morning Sect will annihilate the Qian family!”

“Qian Yue Jin, hand Qian Fei over. Otherwise, the Heaven Martial Sect will annihilate the Qian family!”

With this, the three leaders of the three strongest forces in Descent Mountain City made their intention of siding with an unknown young man against the Qian family clear.

…

At this moment.

At the Meng family estate.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two middle-aged men and a youthful-looking old man flew out of the Meng family estate.

The members of the Meng family were shocked when they saw the old man.

“It’s the ancestor!”

“The ancestor hasn’t left the mansion for more than 100 years. Why did he suddenly leave now?”

The old man was the Meng family’s only intermediate god who stayed in the family estate. The other intermediate and advanced gods in the family had left the family estate and Descent Mountain City to gain experience and search for fortuitous encounters outside.

This was the same in the other major forces in Descent Mountain City. After all, to become Kings of Gods, they had to leave Descent Mountain City. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to break through. However, saying that, up until now, there had been no Kings of Gods in any of the four strongest forces in Descent Mountain City. Perhaps, this was the reason most gods left the small city even if there was only a small chance of them becoming Kings of Gods. After all, if they succeeded in becoming a King of God, they would be able to lord over Descent Mountain City when they returned.

…

Similar to the Meng family, the people from the Cloudy Morning Sect and the Heaven Martial Sect discovered their respective intermediate gods were making their way to the Qian family estate after receiving a message.

…

Back at the Qian family estate.

“Master, we can’t shield the Second Young Master anymore!”

“Master, Second Young Master should take responsibility for his actions! He can’t drag the entire family down with him!”

“Master, if you make the wrong decision, you’ll bring disaster to the family!”

The truth was the Qian family was not intimidated by the threats from the other three strongest forces in Descent Mountain City. They were afraid of Duan Ling Tian who had easily defeated their ancestor who was an advanced god.

Even if another more powerful advanced god from the Qian family made a move, it was likely that their powerhouse would only be able to fight to a draw with Duan Ling Tian at most. Moreover, based on Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent and comprehension skills, they no longer doubted Duan Ling Tian’s identity as a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect. Hence, even if their powerhouse could kill Duan Ling Tian, they would not dare to do so since they were afraid of offending the Glorious Heaven Sect. After all, if anything happened to such a talented prodigy, the Glorious Heaven Sect definitely would not let the Qian family go.

Despair shone in Qian Yue Jin’s eyes when he heard the words of the members of the Qian family. He knew he had no way of protecting his son now.

At this moment, three figures suddenly appeared in the sky.

“Meng Jin Hua from the Meng family greets Young Master Duan!”

“You Xue Han from the Cloudy Morning Clan greets Young Master Duan!”

“Ouyang Wu Di from the Heaven Martial Clan greets Young Master Duan!”
