War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

When Duan Ling Tian first entered the Lord Battlefield, he had encountered two inner elders from the Tai Yi Sect after two months. This time, he was lucky enough to encounter an inner elder from the Tai Yi Sect after only a month had passed. This inner elder was comparable to the two inner elders from before, but he managed to kill him without using the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. This was mostly because he had improved significantly due to his tremendous breakthrough in the law of space and the way he had used his Mastery and Sword Daos. Another huge reason for his success was that the inner elder had greatly underestimated him.

As soon as the inner elder from the Tai Yi Sect attacked, Duan Ling Tian could tell the other party was just an ordinary intermediate Lords of Gods, not an Underworld Elder of the Tai Yi Sect. Before attacking, he knew nothing about the other party since the identity token would only display one’s name.

Duan Ling Tian knew that Underworld Elders from the Tai Yi Sect were comparable to the White Dragon Elders from the Flying Dragon Sect. Hence, as soon as he sensed that the other party was much weaker than a White Dragon Elder, he deduced that the other party was likely just an inner elder of the Tai Yi Sect.

Duan Ling Tian knew that the middle-aged man would definitely chase after him once the middle-aged man discovered that he was just a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Hence, he pretended to flee in order to lure the middle-aged man into his trap. With that, he did not use any of his secret weapons at all. Due to his effort over the past two years, he even managed to use his Mastery Dao and avoid detection. Since his Mastery Dao was spatial in nature, it was very easy to hide it and pass it off as the law of space.

After watching recordings of experts skilled in the law of space and countless researches, Duan Ling Tian successfully came up with a method to use his Mastery Dao that even White Dragon Elders like Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian could not detect.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by his success to hide his Mastery Dao. After all, he expended a lot of effort to make sure it was flawless. He naturally also knew that this method could fool Lords of Gods, but it would not be able to fool Emperors of Gods.

At this time, Xue Hai Chuan sighed and said, “Little Tian, although you managed to kill him mostly because of your sneak attack, based on your law of space and rudimentary Sword Dao, he still wouldn’t be able to defeat you either even if his cultivation base was higher. I didn’t expect you to progress so much in just two years. Although your cultivation base is the same, your comprehension of the law is on par with mine.”

Dongfang Yan Nian laughed as he shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, “I suddenly feel that I’ve been living in vain all this time. A young man who’s not even 3,000 years old has a better comprehension of the law than I do!”

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Dongfang Yan Nian. He naturally could not tell Dongfang Yan Nian that he was in fact not even 800 years old. He had taken a divine pill to alter his bone age to hide his true age.

“There’s no use in making comparisons,” Xue Hai Chuan said as he shook his head, “You saw how smooth Little Tian’s attacks and movements were. Do you think that’d be possible without enough combat experiences? He must have gone through a lot to be able to hone such skills…”

Dongfang Yan Nian fell silent as he recalled the battle earlier. After a moment, he nodded and said, “You’re right. Most rudimentary Lords of Gods wouldn’t have been able to react so quickly and act so smoothly when faced with an intermediate Lord of Gods. If I were in Little Tian’s shoes, I might not have been able to react and adapt as quickly as he did.”

Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian were clearly impressed by Duan Ling Tian’s quick thinking. They knew at this moment that it would not take long for Duan Ling Tian to catch up to them or even surpass them.

As the duo continued to secretly follow Duan Ling Tian, Xue Hai Chuan laughed and asked Dongfang Yan Nian through Voice Transmission, “How do you feel now? Do you feel pressured?”

Dongfang Yan Nian glanced at Xue Hai Chuan before he replied, “I think you’re the one who’s feeling pressured, right? I’m not a genius in the Flying Dragon Sect; you’re the one who bears that title. Among all the White Dragon Elders, many people feel that you’re the only one who has the potential of becoming an Emperor of Gods.”

“They’re just talking casually. There’s no basis for their words,” Xue Hai Chuan said with a smile, unsurprised.

“Oh, it seems like you’ve heard these words as well. Heh, you must have felt happy!” Dongfang Yan Nian said teasingly.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian flew swiftly as he continued to wander the Lord Battlefield.

…

Half a month later, Duan Ling Tian encountered an inner elder from the Flying Dragon Sect whom he was not familiar with. He briefly greeted the inner elder before going his separate way.

After another month, Duan Ling Tian met an inner deacon and an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect. The duo wanted to join forces with him,but he naturally refused them. After all, he wanted to use his time on the Lord Battlefield to hone his skills and familiarize himself with his law of space. After improving his law of space for two years, he had yet to test it out.

After another half a month had passed, Duan Ling Tian finally ran into two members of the Tai Yi Sect.

‘Tai Yi Sect members!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up when he saw the two people’s identity tokens.

One of them was a healthy-looking old man who was dressed in a Taoist robe while the other person was a skinny middle-aged man with a piercing gaze. They were about to fly over when they saw Duan Ling Tian but stopped moving when they saw Duan Ling Tian flying over to them.

The old man remained expressionless when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s identity token while the middle-aged man said in a low voice, “He’s not a White Dragon Elder. He’s likely just an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect.”

The old man nodded. “Kill him. After that, we’ll continue searching for White Dragon Elders.”

The old man’s eyes flashed with killing intent. It was as though he had deep grudges against the Flying Dragon Sect’s White Dragon Elders.

The old man did not bother to lower his voice so Duan Ling Tian heard his words clearly. For the old man to be able to say such words, Duan Ling Tian was certain the old man was an Underworld Elder from the Tai Yi Sect. However, he was not sure if the middle-aged man was also an Underworld Elder.

Swoosh!

With this discovery, Duan Ling Tian decisively teleported away. He knew he was no match for an Underworld Elder now unless he used his secret weapons.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man scoffed disdainfully. “A rudimentary Lord of Gods? I thought he was at least an inner elder. Young man, you can only blame your bad luck for encountering us.”

At the same time, the middle-aged man chased after Duan Ling Tian. In just a blink of an eye, he was already a few meters away from Duan Ling Tian.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian exclaimed in surprise inwardly, ‘He’s also an Underworld Elder!’

When the middle-aged man was reaching out to grab Duan Ling Tian, his expression suddenly changed as though he had sensed something, and he flashed, returning to the old man’s side.

Following that, two people descended from the sky and stood in front of Duan Ling Tian protectively. They stared at the two Underworld Elders of the Tai Yi Sect fiercely as soon as they appeared.
