War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4565 The Crimson Demon Ridge; Duan Ling Tian’s First Stop After Coming to the Outer Boundary Feng Qing Yang laughed heartily, looking carefree. He said, “Little Tian, I share the same sentiment. However, there’s no need for us to take turns guarding this place; I can deal with it alone. I can cultivate anywhere after all. You should spend some quality time with your family for a period of time.”

Feng Qing Yang paused for a moment as he recalled something. His expression turned serious as he continued to say, “Little Tian, I believe you’ve already discovered the changes in our Little Worlds after becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse. The energy around the Divine Tree of Life is extremely rich and comparable to places in the Outer Boundary and Myriad Worlds with the richest energy. The concentration energy in our Little Worlds is rich enough for cultivators below the realm of supreme powerhouses to cultivate. If your family is willing, you should let them cultivate in your Little World. It’ll be safer for them as well.”

Feng Qing Yang lived an unfettered life, but Duan Ling Tian had many family and friends. For this reason, he had to be very cautious so enemies could not use them to threaten him.

Duan Ling Tian nodded in agreement upon hearing Feng Qing Yang’s words. After thinking about it, he thought that Feng Qing Yang’s suggestion was very reasonable. He knew that his Little World was a suitable cultivation ground, but life would be monotonous there. As such, not everyone would be willing to stay in a Little World to cultivate. After all, the freedom one had in the outside world was much better than that in a Little World.

“I’ll ask for their opinions,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod, “If they’re unwilling to stay in my Little World, I’ll speak to Lord Xiao. I’ll suggest turning my Little World into a Realm of Gods in the God Defying World. With that, my family will still be able to have their freedom while being under my protection.”

Duan Ling Tian knew quite a bit about the Realms of Gods in the God Defying World. They belonged to 18 supreme powerhouses from the God Defying World and were connected to God Defying World’s Guarding Formation. He was confident that Xiao Mu Bai and the other Lords of the God Defying World would not object to his suggestion. After all, turning Duan Ling Tian’s Little World into a Realm of God would strengthen the Guarding Formation that protected the God Defying World.

Feng Qing Yang’s eyes lit up. “That’s a great idea!”

The master and disciple continued to chat casually.

The scorching sun hung high in the clear blue sky above the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. The pagoda, which was built from unknown materials that gave it a glossy surface, reflected the sunlight onto the duo. It created a shimmering and mysterious pattern.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian decided to extend his Divine Consciousness toward the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, but he quickly discovered that it was blocked by a mysterious energy.

Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. ‘As expected of something created by heaven…’

Although heaven might not be able to directly attack Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian had a feeling that heaven would not stay idle now that they decided to stop others from entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. It was likely that heaven would act soon.

Duan Ling Tian recalled the heavenly text that appeared after he broke through and became a supreme powerhouse.

‘Heaven and earth should rejoice and celebrate the birth of the second level-seven supreme powerhouse after the gap in history. After this, the Heaven Traversing Pagoda will appear above the ocean at the center of the Outer Boundary. Level-five and level-six supreme powerhouses can enter the pagoda. After successfully passing a series of tests, one will be rewarded with the Heaven Protection Talisman that can help one block three strikes of the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation!’

With this, it was clear that heaven was trying to help Saints and World supreme powerhouses to pass the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. Now that Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang were standing in heaven’s way, heaven would surely come up with other ways to help the Saints and World supreme powerhouses.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian said, “Master, I’ll take my leave first to attend to personal matters. If you need help, please send your doppelganger to the Xia clan. I’d left one of my doppelgangers there.”

“Alright,” Feng Qing Yang replied with a nod.

Feng Qing Yang bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and watched Duan Ling Tian leave with a smile on his face. His thoughts drifted away as he gazed into the distance. Memories of Duan Ling Tian when Duan Ling Tian was still in the mundane realm appeared in his mind. At that time, Duan Ling Tian was not even a celestial yet, and he was already the powerful Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

Feng Qing Yang thought about how his disciple surpassed him before his breakthrough, and he could not help but sigh in relief now that he had caught up to his disciple since he managed to preserve his dignity as Duan Ling Tian’s master.

‘I finally caught up to him…’

Although Duan Ling Tian had always been respectful to Feng Qing Yang even after he had grown stronger than Feng Qing Yang, Feng Qing Yang was still slightly bothered that his disciple had surpassed him. He was naturally proud that his disciple had surpassed him, but at the same time, it came with a sense of helplessness.

…

After parting ways with Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian did not return to the God Defying World immediately. Instead, he traveled across a vast expanse of ocean and land like the wind. It did not take long before he entered a towering mountain range that was shrouded by a somber atmosphere. The mountain range was mostly barren. Once in a while, demon beasts sweep past, stirring up clouds of dust before vanishing out of sight.

This place was none other than Crimson Demon Ridge where Duan Ling Tian nearly died.

When Duan Ling Tian first arrived in the Outer Boundary, he had stumbled into Crimson Demon Ridge after leaving the sea. The owner of Crimson Demon Ridge was the Crimson Devil, a supreme powerhouse. It was rumored that the Crimson Demon was injured during the once-in-10,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. As such, he was desperately searching for a suitable body to possess. With his unique bloodline power, he could possess a new body once in his life.

At that time, the Crimson Demon had put Duan Ling Tian through a series of tests to determine if Duan Ling Tian’s body fulfilled his requirements. However, before the tests ended, Duan Ling Tian managed to escape Crimson Demon Ridge with the help of other prodigies. At this moment, Duan Ling Tian suddenly came to a stop in the sky above the mountain range. His expression was calm as he said tonelessly, “Crimson Demon, why don’t you come out and meet an old friend of yours?”

Duan Ling Tian’s voice was not loud, but it was heard by everyone in Crimson Demon Ridge.

Soon after his voice fell, many figures appeared in the sky. They were the Crimson Demon’s personal guards. Among them, there were a few whom Duan Ling Tian was familiar with.
