War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian disregarded the threat of the young man who was dressed in a brocade robe. He responded by striking with his long rod.

Boom!

A golden and purple light shone brightly as the long rod landed on the young man, killing him immediately.

“Your Communication Celestial Talisman is useless… Do you think you’ll be able to tell people that I’m the one who killed you?” Duan Ling Tian murmured as he calmly looked at the blood fog that was slowly dispersing. He knew the young man had used a Communication Celestial Talisman before he died. The Communication Celestial Talisman’s speed was as fast as a Celestial King, therefore, he could not intercept it.

‘Although I used a King Grade Celestial Weapon, this battle still drained a lot of my Celestial Origin Energy. Currently, my strength is only comparable to a One Basic Celestial Duke.’ It did not take much strength to kill the young man, but killing the old man who was a Three Talents Celestial Duke had depleted much of his strength. Currently, regardless if he used Soul Attack or if he attacked with his Celestial Origin Energy, his strength that was granted by the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon was only comparable to a One Basic Celestial Duke. He, naturally, attacked with his Celestial Origin Energy since he was not very proficient in Soul Attacks. It would consume more of his Soul Energy to use Soul Attack just to cause as much damage as his Celestial Origin Energy.

“Let’s go, Guang Lin.” Duan Ling Tian looked at Liu Guang Lin after he put away the young man’s Spatial Ring.

“Yes, master,” Liu Guang Lin replied. Before continuing on their journey to the Supporting Fall Nation, he decided to change his clothes.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled. “You’re being too cautious. Judging from his cultivation base, in such a short time, the most he could do was disclose the location of where he was attacked through his Communication Celestial Talisman… It would be impossible for him to describe our physical appearances since he was panicking at that time.” He was rather certain the young man had used the Communication Celestial Talisman in a haste to reveal his location in hopes that his people would come and save him.

Liu Guang Lin said with a smile, “Maybe, but it’s better to be extra cautious.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. He was pleased with how cautious Liu Guang Lin was.

The duo flew past the mountain range and entered a vast plain before a city slowly emerged before their eyes.

“Is that the Supporting Fall Nation’s capital?” It was Duan Ling Tian’s first time seeing such a huge city. From afar, it looked like a giant beast crouching on all fours.

Liu Guang Lin had been curious since earlier. Now that they had almost arrived in the Supporting Fall Nation, he could no longer back. He asked, “Master… Did you use a King Grade Celestial Weapon to kill that Three Talents Celestial Duke earlier?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian slightly nodded.

Although Liu Guang Lin had already guessed it, he was still shocked when he received Duan Ling Tian’s confirmation. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He was truly curious about Duan Ling Tian’s background. How did a young man who was not even 100 years old become an Earth Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial and obtain a King Grade Celestial Weapon? Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe it if someone told him his master was just a nobody with no special background.

Liu Guang Lin only snapped back to his senses when Duan Ling Tian’s voice rang in his ears.

“You’re good with your fists. I have a Celestial Weapon that suits you.”

Liu Guang Lin instinctively raised his hand when he saw an object flying toward him. He caught it in his hand and saw a ring. Based on the design of the ring, it was clearly meant to be worn on both his index and middle finger. He could tell the aura of the ring that glowed with a soft light was very different from a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon. He was once again shocked. “This… This is…”

“This is a King Grade Celestial Weapon… However, with your current cultivation base, it’s best not to use it unless it’s necessary. Otherwise, you might draw unnecessary attention to yourself,” Duan Ling Tian said casually as though it was normal to give someone a King Grade Celestial Weapon.

A King Grade Celestial Weapon!

Liu Guang Lin trembled slightly. His eyes reddened as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He handed the ring back to Duan Ling Tian as he said, “Master… This is too precious. I can’t possibly accept it!”

“Keep it… Do you want people to notice the King Grade Celestial Weapon in your hands? Moreover, I, Duan Ling Tian, will not take back what I have given,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Liu Guang Lin immediately surveyed his surroundings. He sighed in relief and quickly put the ring away after he made sure there was no one in their surroundings. Then, he said emotionally, “Master! From now on, my life is yours!”

“Your life is yours to keep. Just help me when I need you.” Duan Ling Tian shrugged with a faint smile on his face.

Suddenly…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three figures flew out from the direction of the Supporting Fall Nation’s capital. Their speed was so fast that Duan Ling Tian and Liu Guang Lin could not clearly see their movements. Based on this, it was obvious the three people were stronger than them. It seemed like they were heading toward the place where Duan Ling Tian had killed the young man earlier.

Now that Liu Guang Lin and Duan Ling Tian were fast approaching the capital of the Supporting Fall Nation, the duo blended in with the throng of people who were also making their way to the capital of the Supporting Fall Nation. There were at least a few hundred people in their surroundings and many walked in pairs just like them. Both of them were rather inconspicuous.

At this moment, many of the conversations in Duan Ling Tian’s surroundings entered his ears. Clearly, many people had seen the three figures as well.

“What an incredible speed!”

“They must be Four Phenomenons Celestial Dukes at least!”

“They seem to be in a hurry! It must be an urgent matter.”

Meanwhile, the three figures finally arrived at the place where the young man had died. Their expressions were blank as they stared at the blood that stained the ground.

One of the men speculated out loud, “The culprit must be a Four Phenomenons Celestial Duke, at least, to be able to kill a Three Talents Celestial Duke so quickly…”

“During our journey here, I randomly checked the cultivation bases of the people entering the capital with my Divine Consciousness. There’s no Four Phenomenon Celestial Duke at all. However, there was a purple-clad young man who concealed his cultivation base with some technique.”

Another man chimed in, “That’s right. Let alone a Four Phenomenon Celestial Duke, there was no Three Talents Celestial Dukes as well.”

“Is the purple-clad young man the culprit?”

“Impossible.”

“Why?”

“Do you think it’s possible for a young lad who’s not even 100 years old to be a Four Phenomenon Celestial Duke?”

“Not even 100 years old? You’re right. The culprit can’t be him!”

Although Duan Ling Tian had caught their attention, they dismissed him as a suspect. After all, how could someone who was not even 100 years old kill a Three Talents Celestial Duke?

“It seems unlikely that we’ll find anything else here. Let’s look around to see if there are any suspicious-looking people around.”

“That’s right. Even if we can’t find the person who killed Young Master Huo, we can’t just report back to Imperial Concubine Lan empty-handed…”

The three men continued their search, but it was futile. After all, the culprit had already entered the capital of the Supporting Fall Nation.

“The capital of Supporting Fall Nation is huge!” Duan Ling Tian exclaimed as he walked down a wide street in the capital.

Liu Guang Lin who was walking behind Duan Ling Tian nodded as he replied, “Indeed. It’s larger than all the cities I have been to.”

Duan Ling Tian brought Liu Guang Lin to a restaurant to eat and also to listen for information.

As soon as the duo sat down at their table, a conversation entered their ears and caught Duan Ling Tian’s attention.

“In a month’s time, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation will hold the Southern Heaven Combat in the Imperial Palace… I wonder who’s going to rank in the top nine and enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.”

‘Southern Heaven Combat? Southern Heaven Ancient Realm?’ Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow as he continued to listen in on the conversation.

The Southern Heaven Ancient Realm was similar to a Little World. Instead of being created by Celestial Kings, it was created by former emperors of the Southern Heaven Territory, who were also known as Southern Heaven Celestial Lords.
