War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Upon hearing Dong Guo Zhi’s words, Duan Ling Tian was momentarily stunned before he burst out laughing. He said, “Go overboard? You can think whatever you want!”

Dong Guo Zhi and Wang Ding Shan’s expressions changed dramatically when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “If you want to leave, you’ll have to swear on another lightning penalty oath. Swear that from this moment onward, you won’t have any enmity with me and won’t look for trouble with me. Otherwise, you’ll be killed by the lightning penalty!”

As soon as Dong Guo Zhi and Wang Ding Shan heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, they instinctively turned to look at each other. They thought the black-robed man had read their minds. However, they quickly dismissed that notion since it was simply impossible.

“Sir, you want us to swear such an oath? What if you decide to provoke us? Doesn’t that mean we won’t be able to defend ourselves or retaliate? In that case, we’ll die either way. We’ll either be killed by you or the lightning penalty!” Dong Guo Zhi said with a dark expression. He did not expect the black-robed man to be so cautious. It seemed as though he had everything under control and could see through everything.

“That’s easy. Just don’t retaliate,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently.

“Don’t retaliate? So, we should just wait for you to kill us?” Dong Guo Zhi said angrily.

“Then, do you prefer to die now?!” Duan Ling Tian’s gaze was no longer calm. Cold killing intent could be seen in his eyes. There was a murderous aura about him, and it seemed as though he had turned into an Asura in just a blink of an eye. It caused the atmosphere to turn tense.

Dong Guo Zhi’s expression turned grimmer when he felt the intense killing aura that Duan Ling Tian emitted.

At the same time, Wang Ding Shan could no longer hold back his anger and made his move immediately. “You’re seeking death!” It seemed as though he had transformed into a God of War as he charged domineeringly toward Duan Ling Tian.

Hu!

As soon as Wang Ding Shan charged toward Duan Ling Tian, the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Universal Ruler, appeared under Duan Ling Tian’s sleeve again.

“Universe Teleportation!” Duan Ling Tian waved his hand and the space around him and Wang Ding Shan began to ripple and distort again.

In the eyes of Dong Guo Zhi, Ou Qing, and Li Jun, Duan Ling Tian and Wang Ding Shan’s figures were blurry. They could only vaguely see two figures, but it was difficult for them to see what was happening.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian cast the Divine Ability from the Universal Ruler, he also cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic that he had not used for quite a while. “Elementary Devouring Tactic!” In just a blink of an eye, he had absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings.

During the past six months Duan Ling Tian had been going around Sin City dressed as the black-robed man, he did not use the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, at all. This was because it might expose his identity. The other reason was that he did not encounter any opponent who was strong enough to force him to use the Elementary Devouring Tactic.

Now that Duan Ling Tian was facing Wang Ding Shan who was at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and ranked at the 156th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking, he had no choice but to use the Elementary Devouring Tactic. Otherwise, he would not be a match for a powerhouse at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

Even if Wang Ding Shan was the weakest powerhouse at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, Duan Ling Tian still would not be a match for him without using the Elementary Devouring Tactic.

‘With my current strength, I can use the Universal Ruler’s Universe Transportation since it’s much stronger now compared to the past. Not only can it block people’s sight, but it can also confuse my opponent!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he watched Wang Ding Shan get rid of the effects of the Universe Teleportation as the Elementary Devouring Tactic continued to raise his Sun Saint Energy to its limit.

After Wang Ding Shan managed to get rid of the effect from the Universe Teleportation, he saw the vortexes around Duan Ling Tian. Although the vortex was already disappearing, he still managed to catch a glimpse of it. “This…”

Xiu!

In the next moment, Wang Ding Shan heard the short-lived shrill cry of a sword. Apart from that, he saw a three-foot-long blade slashing toward him. Its speed was so fast that it left no trace behind. It looked invisible. He was frightened since he did not think he would be able to avoid it.

‘The Traceless Sword! The assist-type Divine Ability that creates vortexes. The black-robed man is the Fire Worship Sect’s Duan Ling Tian!’ These were the thoughts that appeared in Wang Ding Shan’s mind before the three-foot-long blade pierced the space between his eyebrows. It happened so fast that he did not even have time to cry out!

Wang Ding Shan only managed to guess Duan Ling Tian’s identity the moment before he died through the Divine Abilities that Duan Ling Tian cast and the sword that he used. Naturally, he did not know that the sword Duan Ling Tian used was not one of the Ten Great Saint Weapons, the Traceless Sword. Duan Ling Tian had used the Jasper Celestial Sword. Since he had died, he could only take this secret to his grave. He did not have time to tell anyone about his discovery.

‘Devour!’ After killing Wang Ding Shan, Duan Ling Tian went about his routine of devouring Innate Spiritual Roots. He was pleasantly surprised by Wang Ding Shan’s Innate Spiritual Root.

‘He possessed a blue Spiritual Root. That’s pretty good!’

After devouring Wang Ding Shan’s blue Innate Spiritual Root, Duan Ling Tian discovered that his Innate Spiritual Root had improved and turned dark indigo.

‘Now that my indigo Innate Spiritual Root has turned dark indigo, it means I’m one step closer to improving it to a violet Innate Spiritual Root!’ When Duan Ling Tian thought of this, he became excited even though he was usually calm.

After collecting Wang Ding Shan’s Spatial Ring, Duan Ling Tian let go of Wang Ding Shan’s body, allowing it to fall.

At the same time, the space that was rippling and distorting returned to normal as well.

Dong Guo Zhi and the others saw Duan Ling Tian standing unmoving at the same spot as Wang Ding Shan’s body fell to the ground. This scene greatly impacted them.

“Wang Ding Shan is dead?!” Lu Jin was the first to regain his senses. His expression changed drastically. It was as though he had seen a ghost. He felt extremely lucky that the black-robed man did not target him. Otherwise, he would definitely die.

What a joke. A powerhouse who could kill Wang Ding Shan so easily could definitely kill Lu Jin with just a snap of his fingers.

Ou Qing was horrified and his face was pale. A stench of urine wafted in his nose, but he did not seem bothered by it. He stood still in shock, completely frozen.

In the next moment, Ou Qing and Lu Jin slowly turned to look at each other and saw the fear reflected in each other’s eyes. After a few moments, without being asked, they quickly swore another lightning penalty oath that Duan Ling Tian had asked Dong Guo Zhi and Wang Ding Shan to swear. They promised not to have any enmity with Duan Ling Tian or look for trouble with him.

Naturally, Ou Qing and Lu Jin thought the oath they swore was too much. However, Wang Ding Shan, the strongest person among them, had died. They would only follow in Wang Ding Shan’s footsteps and be killed by the black-robed man if they continued to be stubborn. Both of them did not want to die so their only choice was to obediently do as they were told.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nine claps of thunder rang in the sky once Ou Qing and Lu Jin swore on the lightning penalty oath.

The nine claps of thunder shocked Dong Guo Zhi into regaining his senses. His body was trembling violently and his face was deathly pale. Currently, he had completely lost his composure. He looked like a terrified bird!

“Do you have any other questions?” Duan Ling Tian asked nonchalantly as he looked at Dong Guo Zhi with a cold gaze.

Dong Guo Zhi jumped when he heard Duan Ling Tian speaking to him. He shuddered before he shook his head vehemently. He waved his hand and hurriedly said, “No! No!”

What a joke. Even Dong Guo Zhi’s guard, Wang Ding Shan, had been killed. Where would he find the courage to question Duan Ling Tian now? Even if he still had questions, there was no way he would say anything.

Dong Guo Zhi who was panicking calmed himself down before he quickly swore on the lightning penalty oath just as Duan Ling Tian told him to.

Nine claps of thunder rang in the sky in response to Dong Guo Zhi’s oath.

Sou!

As soon as the nine claps of thunder rang in the air, Duan Ling Tian seemed as though he had transformed into a bolt of lightning as he headed north. Naturally, he did not forget his purpose of heading north. It was for the treasure that was said to be left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

Dong Guo Zhi and the others sighed in relief when they saw that Duan Ling Tian had left. They looked at each other and saw a hint of bitterness reflected in each other’s eyes.

While Duan Ling Tian made his way north to have a look at the treasure that had been said to be left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he was unaware that the six, seven, including the twins, current heirs to the Seven Absolutes Sect, except for the heir of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, had all gathered at a snow-capped mountain in the northern region!

There were seven people. Some of them were men, and some of them were women. They were seated cross-legged on a stone platform that was situated in the middle of the snow-capped mountain. The stone platform they sat on was engraved with complicated patterns that seemed like it came from ancient times.

An elderly man and a beautiful woman stood high in the sky overlooking these people.
