War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian who thought he could end the fight by transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was startled when he heard Yuwen Hao Chen’s words. Did Yuwen Hao Chen hold back as well when they fought earlier?

The people present on the scene were shocked as well. They had all thought Yuwen Hao Chen would lose after Duan Ling Tian had transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. After all, both of them were evenly-matched before Duan Ling Tian had turned into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. Logically, he should be stronger than Yuwen Hao Chen. It should not have been difficult for Duan Ling Tian to kill or defeat him.

However, Yuwen Hao Chen’s words clearly indicated that he had a trump card as well.

“Lord Palace Master has something else up his sleeves?”

Even those from the Wandering Saint Palace were shocked by Yuwen Hao Chen’s words, let alone those from the Three Palaces and Six Halls.

“Yuwen Hao Chen had held back his strength as well?”

Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, was certain Yuwen Hao Chen would die until he heard Yuwen Hao Chen’s words. His eyes regained its shine, and his mood seemed to rise from hell to heaven in just a blink of an eye. He did not doubt the veracity of Yuwen Hao Chen’s words at all. After all, he was familiar with Yuwen Hao Chen. Yuwen Hao Chen was not the kind of person who would speak carelessly.

The eyes of Yun Fu Ye, the strongest direct disciple of Yuwen Han Chen, lit up as he seemed to recall something.’”Master…’ However, after a while, the smile on his face froze as he recalled another important thing. ‘If master uses that move on Duan Ling Tian, then…’

Huang Wen Jing who was standing next to Yun Fu Ye seemed to have thought of something as her frosty expression thawed and was replaced with a worried expression. She quickly cried out, “Master… No!”

“Duan Ling Tian, you’ve joined the Wandering Saint Palace for three years now… You must have heard that all the Palace Masters in the Wandering Saint Palace have inherited the technique from generations ago to successfully overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation! For this reason, there has never been a Palace Master who had failed the Heavenly Tribulation!”

Yuwen Hao Chen’s words confirmed Yun Fu Ye and Huang Wen Jing’s suspicion. Their master planned to use the technique to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation against Duan Ling Tian!

As the direct disciples of Yuwen Hao Chen, they vaguely knew about the inherited technique that allowed the Palace Masters of Wandering Spirit to borrow the force from the tribulation lightning to resist the Heavenly Tribulation to overcome it. However, they were not certain of the details. If their master were to use it in a battle, he would not be able to use it again to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation…

That technique was capable of killing anyone who was not an Eminent Celestial.

Swoosh!

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian knew what Yuwen Hao Chen was planning after he heard his words. ‘It seems like the technique to overcome Heavenly Tribulation that has been passed down for generations to the Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace can be used during battle as well!’ Needless to say, he was shocked to the core. He knew the Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace had all inherited the technique to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation since there were no Palace Masters from the Wandering Saint Palace who had failed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. However, it was out of his expectation that the technique could also be used as an attack.

The people present on the scene also realized what Yuwen Hao Chen’s words meant. They were extremely shocked as well.

“I see!”

“Fair enough!”

“Based on Lord Palace Master’s words, it seems like the technique can be used in a battle as well! I didn’t expect this!”

“If that’s the case, who knows who’ll have the last laugh!”

“On one hand, we have a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. On the other hand, we have Lord Palace Master who has inherited the technique to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. In my opinion, it’s highly likely Lord Palace Master will win!”

“I agree.”

Apart from those from the Wandering Saint Palace, the others from the Three Palace and Six Halls were also discussing this among themselves. All of them concluded that Yuwen Hao Chen would win.

Everyone was still discussing among themselves when Duan Ling Tian started speaking. “Palace Master Yuwen, if I’m not mistaken…” His voice was so loud that it drowned out all the voices in the surroundings, catching everyone’s attention. “Your technique must have a restriction, right? Otherwise, you would have used it to kill me earlier.!” Confidence could be heard in his voice when he spoke.

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. They found his words logical. If there were no restrictions, Yuwen Hao Chen would not have fought Duan Ling Tian for so long before finally deciding on using that technique, right? He could have just killed Duan Ling Tian with a move.

“That’s right!” Yuwen Hao Chen admitted without any hesitation. He did not try to deny it at all. “Once I use the inherited technique on you, I won’t be able to use it to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. I’ll have to overcome it with my own strength so it carries with it the risk of failing… However, I’m confident I can kill anyone who’s not an Eminent Celestial with that technique. Since I’m no match for you after you’ve transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, I might die. If I die, what’s the point of leaving the technique unused. I might as well use the technique. At most, I’ll just have to rely on my own strength to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation! That way, I still have a chance of passing the Heavenly Tribulation,” he said resolutely.

Since Duan Ling Tian wanted Yuwen Hao Chen dead, he would drag Duan Ling Tian down with him. After all, Yuwen Hao Chen might not necessarily die.

When Duan Ling Tian heard Yuwen Hao Chen’s words, he could no longer remain indifferent. His expression turned solemn and his eyes gleamed calculatingly. ‘The technique that has been passed down for generations must be really strong. Otherwise, how could it overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation?’

There were 81 bolts of lightning in the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and each bolt would be stronger than the last. Moreover, none of the Palace Masters had failed to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation with the technique.

‘The technique is even capable of dealing with the Celestial Ascension Tribulation… Would I be able to deal with it?’ Duan Ling Tian was hit with a pang of uncertainty. ‘If I utilize the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, can I kill him before he cast the techniques?’

Duan Ling Tian shook his head. Although he was already a true powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he was not certain the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, was capable of defeating a Devil Cultivator at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. After all, the Devilseal Tablet in his possession was incomplete. For this reason, he did not dare to risk it. After all, he would die with just a misstep. At that time, he would lose everything. If the Devilseal Tablet was whole, he could have dealt with Devils and Devil Cultivators who were Eminent Celestials or Eminent Devils.

“Palace Master Yuwen, you win.” Duan Ling Tian decided to concede defeat. He raised his hand and retrieved his purple robes before putting it back on. At the same time, he reverted back to his human form. He decided to concede since he would be facing a technique that had been passed down for generations to the Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

When the people on the scene saw this, they were not surprised. After all, if they were in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes, they would have done the same as well.

“Palace Master Yuwen… We’ll fight again when both of us become Eminent Celestials! At that time, I would like to see how you’ll defeat me!” Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Yuwen Hao Chen. The concession he had made was just temporary after all.

Again, no one was surprised by this since they understood Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts.

Yuwen Hao Chen said indifferently, “Then, we’ll have to wait until you attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. It’s not as simple as you think it is!” Based on his words, it did not seem like he believed Duan Ling Tian would be able to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. His belief was not without reason. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Ascension Tribulation came from the Tribulation Clouds he had attracted. It was not Duan Ling Tian’s own doing.

After all, in the history of the Devil Clans, there were many Devils and Devil Cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had comprehended heaven and earth to its limit and tried to overcome their Celestial Ascension Tribulation by using the Celestial Ascension Tribulation others had attracted. However, all of them had failed without any exception. For this reason, he did not think Duan Ling Tian would be successful.

After all was said and done, Yuwen Hao Chen was relieved with Duan Ling Tian’s concession. After all, this means he would be able to successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial!
