War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4549 Those Who Force Their Way in Can Only Die! The Heaven Traversing Pagoda suspended above the ocean was like a mountain. It shone brightly and exuded a terrifying aura, which repelled those with weaker cultivation bases. After all, only level-five or level-six supreme powerhouses could enter the pagoda.

Swoosh!

A gust of wind blew past before a tall and burly figure appeared in the distance. It belonged to a middle-aged man who was staring at the Heaven Traversing Pagoda with bright eyes at this moment. The middle-aged man was none other than Lei Hong from the Sun Bright World.

“If I pass the tests in the pagoda, I’ll be rewarded with the Heaven Protection Talisman that’ll block three strikes from the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. With the talisman, I’ll have a chance of surviving the tribulation,” Lei Hong muttered to himself. After a moment, as though he just recalled something, he continued muttering to himself, “Before the appearance of a level-seven supreme powerhouse, I was among the three strongest people in the Myriad Worlds. However, even so, without the Heaven Protection Talisman, I wouldn’t be able to survive the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation… In fact, even with the talisman, success isn’t guaranteed. Nonetheless, I’ll accept my fate if I perish in this quest to grow stronger…”

After a short moment, Lei Hong finally approached the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. However, before he could go any closer, he was quickly stopped.

!! A blue figure standing near the Heaven Traversing Pagoda had released his powerful Divine Consciousness into the surroundings of the pagoda, easily stopping Lei Hong from coming any closer to the pagoda.

‘Level-seven supreme powerhouse? Feng Qing Yang?!’

Lei Hong’s expression changed when he sensed the powerful Divine Consciousness, and he quickly identified the other party as Feng Qing Yang, the first level-seven supreme powerhouse after the gap in history who was mentioned by the heavenly text.

Lei Hong took a deep breath to calm down before he cupped his fists together at Feng Qing Yang and said politely, “You must be Lord Feng from the God Defying World.”

Soon after Lei Hong’s voice fell, a few powerhouses from the Three Upper Worlds arrived as well. They were stunned when they saw Lei Hong cupping his fists together and bowing at Feng Qing Yang. After all, Lei Hong had never bowed to another person after he became a level-six supreme powerhouse. They quickly extended their Divine Consciousness and quickly discovered Feng Qing Yang’s presence. Upon this discovery, their expressions changed drastically. After all, they knew that Feng Qing Yang had come to stop them from entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.

Lei Hong naturally felt unwilling inwardly. In his eyes, Feng Qing Yang was just a junior. However, he was now forced to treat Feng Qing Yang respectfully because Feng Qing Yang was much stronger than he was.

Feng Qing Yang looked at Lei Hong and said indifferently, “That’s right. It’s me. I came here to say that entry to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda is prohibited. Those who try to force their way in can only die.”

Without waiting for a response, Feng Qing Yang sat down cross-legged in the air and closed his eyes. Lei Hong’s expression turned dark. He was naturally unwilling to accept this. After taking a deep breath, he said to Feng Qing Yang, slightly threateningly, “The Heaven Traversing Pagoda was bestowed by heaven to us level-six supreme powerhouses. It’s to help us enter the seventh level. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be punished and killed by heaven if you do this? Your action is tantamount to defying heaven’s will after all.”

Feng Qing Yang opened his eyes and looked at Lei Hong as though Lei Hong was an idiot. Then, he said with a sneer, “You think heaven will punish and kill me? If so, what’s the point of heaven creating the Heaven Traversing Pagoda? Wouldn’t it be easier for heaven to kill me directly if it could?”

After that, Feng Qing Yang closed his eyes again, ignoring Lei Hong and the other supreme powerhouses.

Lei Hong’s expression turned unsightly. After all, Feng Qing Yang’s words made sense. Moreover, if he were in Feng Qing Yang’s shoes, he knew he would be even more cruel. He would have killed all of the level-six supreme powerhouses who intended to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda instead of just warning them.

With the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and the Heaven Protection Talisman, it was clear that heaven was targeting Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian. If heaven could kill the duo directly, there was no need to go to such lengths and create the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.

After a moment, Lei Hong turned to the other supreme powerhouses from the Three Upper Worlds and asked through Voice Transmission, “Everyone, what should we do now? Are we really going to let him stop us from entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda?”

Lei Hong could not conceal his dissatisfaction at all when he spoke.

“I think we should return for now and come up with a plan. I don’t believe he’ll stay here and guard the pagoda forever.”

“I agree.”

The other supreme powerhouses ignored Lei Hong. They were worried the stubborn fool would rashly provoke Feng Qing Yang and implicate them.

In the end, Lei Hong was forced to leave.

At the same time, a group of Saints from the Outer Boundary, who had been observing the situation from a distance, sighed. They had been planning to take advantage of the situation and sneak into the Heaven Traversing Pagoda if Lei Hong decided to fight Feng Qing Yang. Alas, Lei Hong was forced to retreat.

…

After a period of time…

“Finally!”

With the help of the Five Divine Elements, Duan Ling Tian finally took the critical step and felt the pull from the realm of supreme powerhouses. This was not the first time he had felt this pull. In the past, he had sensed it but ignored it.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone with excitement as he muttered to himself, “Level seven, here I come!”
