War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Swoosh!

While Liu Yin disrupted the space around Duan Ling Tian, he flew out swiftly, leaving life-like afterimages in his wake. At some point, a double-ended tip weapon that looked like an awl had appeared in his hand. It resembled the famous weapon on Earth called Emei Daggers. The difference was that instead of two, he only had one. It was about one-and-half-foot long so it was longer than Emei Daggers as well.

Swoosh!

In just a blink of an eye, Liu Yin appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. He held the weapon horizontally, causing the void to ripple. Soon enough, accompanied by the sound of something whistling in the air, a saber ray shot out toward Duan Ling Tian. The saber ray destroyed some of the peaks in its surroundings as it moved, causing loud explosions to reverberate in the air. It was as though the saber ray had cleaved the world into two.

The destroyed peaks mended themselves quickly, but they were not exactly like before.

Swoosh!

At the same time, an idea appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. He brandished his prominent divine sword and mobilized his Mastery Dao and law of space to deflect Liu Yin’s attack. When a huge pressure fell on him, he did not resist and let it push him back. To be precise, he had moved along with the energy while he quietly neutralized the attack. His strength now was not weaker than the strength he had exerted while fighting the two intermediate Lords of Gods previously. His strength was almost comparable to the White Dragon Elders.

‘How’s this possible?! Why is he so strong?’

Although Duan Ling Tian was seemingly pushed back, giving Liu Yin the advantage, Liu Yin was not happy at all. In fact, he was slightly shocked. He had been confident that his attack would severely injure Duan Ling Tian even if it could not kill Duan Ling Tian. To his dismay, Duan Ling Tian was completely unharmed.

‘Why is he so strong? Moreover, there’s something strange about his law of space. They’re stronger than what they should be at his level. Is there something hiding in the law of space?”

Duan Ling Tian had masked his Mastery Dao, one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, using his law of space. The Mastery Dao was powerful in itself. Coupled with the law of space, it was naturally stronger.

Perhaps, if Liu Yin did not comprehend the law of space, he would not be shocked. However, he was very familiar and skilled with the law of space. Hence, he was able to quickly see that there was something amiss with Duan Ling Tian’s law of space.

After a moment, Liu Yin shook his head and put the matter to rest. He thought he was overthinking things.

After fighting for a few rounds, Liu Yun confirmed that Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension was superior to his.

‘He’s not from the Realms of Gods so he doesn’t have bloodline power… Is it his law of space’s doppelganger? No, if it’s the doppelganger, his power would still feel the same even if it was stronger. There’s something different about his law of space.’

Liu Yin grew more and more confused. Nonetheless, he was not anxious. After all, up until now, Duan Ling Tian had only been passively defending himself. In his eyes, this meant that Duan Ling Tian was weaker than him. Moreover, he had yet to use his bloodline power.

Liu Yin scoffed. Then, his eyes reddened as an oppressive aura rose from his body.

“Duan Ling Tian, you’re a rudimentary Lord of Gods, but your strength is comparable to an ordinary intermediate Lord of Gods. It’s truly amazing. Unfortunately, if this is the extent of your strength, I’m afraid you won’t be able to survive more than ten breaths…”

Then, Liu Yin attacked again. His attacks were violent and frenzied, and their forces had increased as well, greatly pressuring Duan Ling Tian.

“Ten breaths? Liu Yin, I’d like to see how you’re going to kill me within ten breaths.”

Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly dealt with Liu Yin’s attack. At the same time, a figure shot out of his body; it was his law of space’s doppelganger.

Following that, the doppelganger brandished a prominent divine sword and began to attack Liu Yin as well.

Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger had his Divine Energy, comprehension of the law of space, and also the Daos of Heaven and Earth he had comprehended. With two Duan Ling Tians fighting, it did not take long for Liu Yun, who originally had the upper hand, to fall into a disadvantageous position.

Just like that, the tides had turned.

“Impossible!” Liu Yin exclaimed in disbelief. He continued to defend against Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger’s eyes. At the same time, he looked at Duan Ling Tian intently as though he was trying to read Duan Ling Tian’s mind. When he still could not figure it out, he asked in a deep voice, “Duan Ling Tian, your law of space isn’t what it seems. Why is it so powerful after you imbued it into your Divine Energy?”

“Why don’t you guess?” Duan Ling Tian said.

Liu Yun was so enraged by Duan Ling Tian’s reply that he almost spat out blood.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Fortunately, I didn’t leave my doppelganger in the lower realm. Even with the doppelganger, I’m only slightly better than Liu Yin, a White Dragon Elder. Moreover, we just began to fight. He’s not used to dealing with two of me. Once he gets used to it, we should be on par with each other…’

Just as Duan Ling Tian expected, after Liu Yin calmed down and got used to it, he began to close the advantage.

Duan Ling Tian continued to patiently parry Liu Yin’s attacks.

Although Liu Yin had calmed down, the longer he fought with Duan Ling Tian, the more surprised and puzzled he became. ‘Why is he so powerful? How is it that he can stand his ground against a White Dragon Elder like me with only the help of the doppelganger? Is he hiding a secret regarding his law of space? I can sense the level of comprehension, but the power of his law of space doesn’t correspond with his level. It’s a few times stronger than what it should be at his level. Not only that, but it feels off.’

As time passed, Liu Yin’s expression turned solemn; a trace of fear could be seen in his eyes as well. There was no doubt the purple-clad young man in front of him was even more terrifying than Xue Hai Chuan.

‘He’s not even 3,000 years old. With another few hundred years, I’m afraid he’d be able to easily trample on me…’

At this moment, Liu Yin really regretted attacking Duan Ling Tian. Like Duan Ling Tian had said earlier, they did not have any conflicts between them.

Liu Yin took a deep breath as he began to retreat. Then, he said to Duan Ling Tian, who was still attacking, “Duan Ling Tian, there won’t be a winner in our fight even if we continue fighting. I was just testing your strength earlier. Don’t take it so seriously. Like you said, I have no conflicts with you so there’s no reason for me to kill you. Your friendship with the Xue brothers has nothing to do with my conflict with them as well…”

At this point, Liu Yin had already decided to call it quits. After witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he thought it was best not to offend Duan Ling Tian so he tried to salvage the situation. Otherwise, if he could not kill Duan Ling Tian today, he would surely die once Duan Ling Tian grew stronger.

“Liu Yin, focus!” Duan Ling Tian said. He completely ignored Liu Yin’s attempt to make peace and continued attacking in a storm-like manner.

At this time, Liu Yin no longer viewed Duan Ling Tian as weak. Now, he regarded Duan Ling Tian as an equal. With this, he naturally did not dare to underestimate Duan Ling Tian and quickly defended against the new wave of attacks.

Seeing how persistent Duan Ling Tian was, Liu Yin’s expression turned unsightly.

“You’re mad!”

Liu Yin really did not want to fight anymore. He could feel his Divine Energy had begun to deplete. Even with divine pills, the speed of recovery would not make out for the output.

Duan Ling Tian, a divine alchemist, had consumed several king-grade Limit Divine Pills to restore his Divine Energy earlier. He kept consuming them like they were snacks.

After a while, Liu Yin saw Duan Ling Tian bring out another two king-grade Limit Divine Pills and threw them into his mouth. With that, Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Energy rose again. At this time, a thought appeared in his mind. ‘Is he trying to wait until I completely deplete my Divine Energy?’

With this thought in mind, Liu Yin completely lost all will to fight. He was about to teleport away when he discovered the space around him had been disrupted. Earlier, he had disrupted the space to prevent Duan Ling Tian from escaping. Hence, as soon as he stopped disrupting the space, Duan Ling Tian knew he was planning to leave so Duan Ling Tian quickly disrupted space to stop him from leaving.

Liu Yin was so anxious at this moment that he really felt like crying. He shouted, “Duan Ling Tian! We have no conflicts! Do you really want to fight to the death?”

Duan Ling Tian continued to ignore Liu Yin.

“Duan Ling Tian, if you refuse to stop, then don’t blame me for not showing mercy!” Liu Yin glared at Duan Ling Tian fiercely, looking as though his eyes were going to pop out of their sockets.
