War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

In Long Fei Yun’s residence in the Imperial palace of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom in the Wasteland of Spirit Overarching Heaven.

“I’ve successfully refined it!” A burst of laughter rang from a room in a guest courtyard. However, due to the noise-canceling Formation, the laughter was contained within the room. The person who laughed was a purple-clad young man who was currently sitting on a bed.

The purple-clad young man raised his hand and put away the pill cauldron that was suspended in the air. After that, he opened his hand, revealing three dark green Celestial Pills in the center of his palm. The dark green Celestial Pills were shrouded by a thin green mist.

“Fortunately, I refined many Prominent Celestial Pills before this… Otherwise, I won’t be able to successfully refine these Overarching Heaven Pills.”

The purple-clad young man was none other than Duan Ling Tian. After returning from Xu Rong Palace, he had dedicated his time to refining pills. He had begun with refining simple prominent Celestial Pills such as the Weaving Overarching Pill. Since its ingredients were common, and the process was simpler, he had decided to practice by refining Weaving Overarching Celestial Pills. Naturally, it took him a while before he successfully mastered refining the Weaving Overarching Pill. The first time he succeeded, he only managed to refine two Weaving Overarching Pills. Although the success rate was quite low, he continued to patiently refine Weaving Overarching Pills. After that, he continued to practice by refining other prominent Celestial Pills with common ingredients that were slightly more difficult to refine. Then, he progressed to refining more difficult-to-refine prominent Celestial Pills. From there, he gained a lot of experience.

When Duan Ling Tian was more confident, he asked Long Fei Yun to help him obtain the ingredients needed to refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill.

It took Long Fei Yun a long time and a lot of effort to collect ingredients just enough to refine one Overarching Heaven Pill. If the refining failed, Duan Ling Tian would have to wait before he could refine Overarching Heaven Pills again. After all, the ingredients to refine Overarching Heaven Pills were very rare and difficult to find in the Wasteland, let alone the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.

The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland monopolized most of the ingredients needed to refine Overarching Heaven Pills in the Wasteland. Needless to say, it would be nigh impossible to obtain the ingredients from the three major Celestial Sects.

“Although the success rate of forming a pill is a little lower, I’m quite satisfied. After all, this is my first time refining the Overarching Heaven Celestial Pill. The fact that I managed to refine three pills can be considered a great feat.”

Duan Ling Tian got up from the bed and left the room to look for Huan’er with the three Overarching Heaven Pills in hand. ‘I’ll let Huan’er try an Overarching Heaven Pill… Let’s see if the medicinal efficacy of the pill would have any effect on her. Since she’s an earth-rank Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial, logically, the pill would be useful to her. The pills would be useless to heaven-rank Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials.’

When Duan Ling Tian walked to the backyard, he discovered Huan’er was not cultivating in her room. Instead, she was in the backyard, trying to master her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.

Although Huan’er was concentrating on comprehending her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, she instantly noticed Duan Ling Tian as soon as he arrived. She stopped what she was doing and greeted him excitedly. “Brother Ling Tian! Brother Ling Tian, ​did you manage to refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill?’ She knew he was focused on refining the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill, over the past few days.

Faced with the expectant expression on Huan’er face, Duan Ling Tian sighed.

When she heard him sigh, she assumed he had failed to refine Overarching Heaven Pill. For this reason, she quickly consoled him. She confidently said, “Brother Ling Tian, ​​it’s okay if you fail… After all, everyone knows it’s difficult to refine Overarching Heaven Pills. Although you failed this time, you can always try again. I’m sure you’ll be able to successfully refine them in the future.”

“Huan’er, look at this!” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled. He stopped teasing her and revealed the three Overarching Heaven Pills in his hand.

“This is… the Overarching Heaven Pills?” Huan’er’s eyes lit up when she saw the Overarching Heaven Pills. She was no longer ignorant like before. During her time in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, she had used many Memory Celestial Talismans sent by Long Fei Yun in her spare time. There were all kinds of information recorded in the Memory Celestial Talismans. From the Memory Celestial Talismans, she had learned about the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill. as well. For this reason, she recognized the pills as soon as Duan Ling Tian showed them to her.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian smiled and nodded. “However, this is the first time I refined the Overarching Heaven Pills so the success rate of forming these pills is a little low… I only managed to refine three.”

Before Huan’er could respond, a voice rang from the sky. “You refined Overarching Heaven Pills?!”

The duo’s expressions darkened immediately.

“Who’s there?!”

“Who is it?!”

Both of them simultaneously looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Swoosh!

In the sky above their courtyard, a black ghost-like figure could be seen. It was a man dressed in black robes with golden trimmings. His body was burly. At this moment, he was slowly descending from the sky. After a while, he finally landed in front of Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. His face was hidden by a golden mask. Apart from that, a golden token with the word, ‘Kill’, could be seen hanging from his waist. The token was stained with red dye in such a way that it looked like blood was dripping from the token.

“A gold-medal assassin?!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically when he saw the man’s clothes and gold token

Huan’er’s expression changed as well.

Duan Ling Tian knew about black-market assassins in the three cities controlled by the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. Black-market assassins were divided into gold-medal assassins, silver-medal assassins, and bronze-medal assassins. Bronze-medal assassins were the weakest among the three. They comprised of Great Overarching Golden Celestials, and the strongest among them was only a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Silver-medal assassins were all heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. The strongest was a peak heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Finally, there were only a few gold-medal assassins. All of them were Celestial Dukes!

Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er had learned about black-market assassins in the Wasteland through a Memory Celestial Talisman. Therefore, they recognized the clothes of a black-market assassin.

There was a possibility that the man before them was just an impostor, but Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er did not think it was likely. After all, if the person was not a Celestial Duke, he would not have been able to easily infiltrate the Imperial palace of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom since the palace was constantly guarded by a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who shrouded the palace with his Divine Consciousness.

“You know I’m a gold-medal assassin? It seems like you know quite a fair bit about black-market assassins.” The burly man dressed in a black robe with gold trimmings looked at Duan Ling Tian before his eyes fell on Huan’er.

At this moment, Huan’er was not wearing her veil and hat. Her appearance and figure were fully on display.

The burly man was stunned by her beauty as his eyes brightened. “What a perfect woman! What a pity that I’m not interested in females. Otherwise, I would bring you away with me.” After saying that, he looked away, clearly uninterested as though he lived an ascetic life like a monk.

“You’re really a gold-medal assassin!” Duan Ling Tian felt his heart skip a beat. He looked at the burly man solemnly and asked in a low voice, “Is your target both of us?”

“My target is her!” The gold-medal assassin looked at Duan Ling Tian as he pointed at Huan’er.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed immediately. Then, he instinctively moved to stand in front of Huan’er, shielding her as he stared at the gold-medal assassin warily.

Upon seeing this, the gold-medal assassin scoffed. “Do you really think you can stop me from killing her?”
