War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Boom!

A few moments later, the Sun Saint Energy in Duan Ling Tian’s body, along with the endless Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy he absorbed from his surroundings, erupted immediately.

In just a blink of an eye, the Sun Saint Energy had already become so powerful that it was equivalent to the Exemplary Saint Stage!

This morning, Duan Ling Tian had used this Sun Saint Energy to battle with Zhang Ji, the Early Quintessential Saint Stage disciple from the Black Turtle Sanctum.

If it was not for the fact that Zhang Ji had mastered a high-grade offensive Divine Ability, he was certain he could defeat Zhang Ji easily with his strength. Not only that, he would not have ended in such a wretched manner after he defeated Zhang Ji.

It was fortunate that Duan Ling Tian had entered the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to recuperate before this. Otherwise, his Spiritual Energy and Sun Saint Energy would not be so strong now. Although it was not fully recovered, it was enough for him to deal with Yuan Hong!

Yuan Hong was merely an ordinary Early Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator! Even if it was Zhang Ji, it would not take him more than ten moves to defeat him.

Duan Ling Tian’s strength was in no way inferior to Zhang Ji. Since Zhang Ji was stronger than Yuan Hong, naturally, it would not take more than ten moves as well for Duan Ling Tian to kill Yuan Hong.

“You’ve come just in time!” Faced with Yuan Hong who was charging toward him menacingly, Duan Ling Tian’s gaze turned cold as the pair of Golden Crow’s Wings behind him flapped suddenly, raising his speed to the limit. At this moment, he was far faster than Yuan Hong.

“How fast!” Upon seeing the speed Duan Ling Tian demonstrated, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples were baffled.

Since they were standing at the side to observe the fight, they could tell Duan Ling Tian’s speed was much faster than Yuan Hong’s speed. This greatly shocked them.

From the news they heard, Duan Ling Tian speed when he killed Gu Long, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple who was at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, ten days ago was merely almost at the speed of an Early Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. He was not as fast he was now.

“Duan Ling Tian’s current speed is comparable to an Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator!” There was no lack of Quintessential Saint Stage disciples among the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples who came to watch the sect. They could easily tell this just by looking.

“Duan Ling Tian’s speed has reached the stage of an Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator?” The other Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples who heard this statement widened their eyes immediately. They all had an expression of disbelief and shock on their faces.

“It has only been ten days, but his speed has increased so much? My goodness! Can anybody tell me what’s going on please?”

“Could it be that he actually concealed his strength ten days ago?”

“It’s possible! Based on the news from the Black Turtle Sanctum two days ago, it’s said that Duan Ling Tian’s strength is at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage, but it still hasn’t reached a stage where he could threaten a Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse! It’s very possible he concealed his strength ten days ago when he fought Gu Long!”

“Actually, other than concealing his strength, there’s another possibility. He could’ve made a breakthrough to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage during these ten days!”

Everyone was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s speed as they discussed among themselves. They kept discussing the battle where Duan Ling Tian killed Gu Long, the Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, in the Black Turtle Sanctum.

That battle had also revealed Duan Ling Tian’s strength in front of the others. However, Duan Ling Tian’s strength ten days ago was not comparable to his strength now They were on a completely different level!

“How’s this possible?!” At the same time, Yuan Kuang who was carrying Gu Li turned horrified when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s speed that was faster than his brother. An expression of disbelief and shock appeared on his face.

‘Junior Brother Ling Tian… A-Awesome!” Gu Li who had seen this burst out laughing immediately. He was pleasantly surprised, and there was an expression of satisfaction on his face.

“What are you laughing at?” Yuan Kuang’s expression turned grim immediately when he heard Gu Li’s laughter. He raised his hand to slap Gu Li again until one half of his face swelled up even more.

Gu Li who was slapped again smiled sinisterly and said angrily before he threw up blood, “You can slap me as much as you like! You won’t be able to act so arrogantly for long anyway! Don’t even think that you’ll be able to escape unless you kill me of course!”

At this instant, all of the dark cloud hanging around Gu Li had vanished. He only felt happiness at this moment!

“You…” Yuan Kuang who was infuriated slapped Gu Li a few times again. Despite his wrath, he really did not dare to kill or maim Gu Li.

Even his big brother, Yuan Kuang, did not dare to kill Duan Ling Tian regardless of how much he wanted to seek revenge for his Grand Master Li An. This was because he feared the rules in the Fire Worship Sect!

Yuan Hong merely had the green Spiritual Root so if he violated the Fire Worship Sect’s rule that prohibited disciples of the same sect from killing each other, he would definitely be given the death sentence! Even his master would not be able to save him.

Although his master had a blue Innate Spiritual Root, it had nothing to do with him. They were different people after all.

Unless his master had an indigo Innate Spiritual Root, then his master might be able to beg for leniency for him.

“How did his speed become so fast?!” When the onlookers realized that Duan Ling Tian’s speed had become even faster than Yuan Hong’s speed, Yuan Hong had also noticed it. A horrified expression instantly appeared on his face.

‘Don’t tell me has already broken through to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage?’ At this moment, this thought rose up in his mind.

The news about Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base being at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage when he killed Gu Long, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, ten days ago had also reached the Vermilion Bird Sanctum.

For this reason, after he saw the speed Duan Ling Tian demonstrated, he immediately felt that Duan Ling Tian must have made a breakthrough during these ten days to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage!

‘Looks like he has indeed broken through. His strength and aura are equivalent to the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage! This is also the advantage of the assist-type Divine Ability he mastered. It has to be a high-grade Divine Ability!’ Yuan Hong thought to himself as jealousy rose in his heart.

In Yuan Hong’s eyes, Duan Ling Tian was merely an Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator! However, he managed to master two high-grade Divine Abilities! This undoubtedly affected Yuan Hong who had yet to master any high-grade Divine Abilities! This was the reason Yuan Hong was so jealous of Duan Ling Tian.

Although Duan Ling Tian’s speed was faster than Yuan Hong, Yuan Hong did not give up ‘The reason his speed is this fast is only due to the high-grade movement Divine Ability. If he doesn’t have that high-grade movement Divine Ability, his speed won’t be faster than mine! Unless he has also mastered another high-grade offensive Divine, it’s impossible for him to be a match for me!’ Yuan Hong began to feel more confident when he thought of this.

“His speed is indeed faster than mine, but it’s only because it’s raised by the assist-type Divine Ability! It’ll only last for a moment before it returns to its original state!” Yuan Hong’s eyes flashed coldly as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian without slowing down.

Boom!

Yuan Hong punched his fist out at lightning speed. The punch that appeared casual and light actually contained a terrifying force from his martial tactic.

The force of the wind and thunder appeared in the wake of his punch as it swept toward Duan Ling Tian. Judging by how it looked, it seemed as though it could even destroy a gigantic mountain.

Faced with Yuan Hong’s punch that was terrifyingly powerful, Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned even colder.

Swoosh!

With a raise of his hand, the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword that Duan Ling Tian obtained from Zhao Wu appeared in his hand. He pointed the sword outward. It contained the profundity of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword.

The force of the profundity of the Sovereign Heart Sword granted to Duan Ling Tian’s sword was in no way inferior to the force of an ordinary Heaven Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian’s Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword clashed with Yuan Hong’s punch. To be more precise, the vast energy surging out from both parties clashed with one another!

During the clash, Duan Ling Tian had used a Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword but Yuan Hong did not use any Saint Weapon. This could be considered as Duan Ling Tian securing a small advantage.

Boom!

As a loud noise reverberated in the air as a terrifying energy swept out from the point where the sword and the fist collided. Hurricanes appeared and blew at the Vermillion Bird Sanctum’s disciples, causing their robes to flutter violently.

Many of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples whose cultivation base that was much weaker had to shut their eyes.

A few moments later, under the watchful eyes of the others, Yuan Hong stood still, unaffected, as the hurricane swept against him.

Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, was sent flying with a blast. His face turned pale immediately.

Clamor!

Upon seeing this, the scene burst out in another commotion.

“Initially, seeing how Duan Ling Tian’s speed was faster than Senior Brother Yuan Hong, I thought he would have the strength to defeat Senior Brother Yuan Hong. It did not cross my mind that he would fall into a disadvantageous position during the collision, especially when he used a Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword while Senior Brother Yuan Hong did not use any weapons!”

“Yuan Hong is a true Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse after all! As for Duan Ling Tian, although his speed is faster than Yuan Hong, that’s because of his high-grade movement Divine Ability! Judging from the aura emanating out of his body, it’s only equivalent to the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage!”

“The reason he’s so strong is all thanks to the boost from the assist-type Divine Ability he cast. Once the assist-type Divine Ability’s effect wears off, he’ll revert to his original state. At that time, he won’t stand a chance in defeating Yuan Hong!”

“Well… unless he has mastered a high-grade offensive Divine Ability, he might be a match for Senior Brother Yuan Hong’s match at all!”

Seeing how Duan Ling Tian was in a disadvantageous position, The Vermillion Bird Sanctum’s disciples began to discuss among themselves again when they saw Duan Ling Tian had fallen into a disadvantageous position. Based on their words, it was obvious they did not think highly of him.

“Perhaps he has mastered a high-grade offensive Divine Ability, but he just hasn’t revealed it yet?” A small number of people chimed in.
