War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Over the past two days and nights, I didn’t meet a single person at all, let alone a Celestial Mansion’s base.” Ever since Duan Ling Tian left the vicinity of the Martial Battle Mansion’s base in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he did not meet a single soul at all. He remembered the locations of the Profound Nether Mansion and the Martial Battle Mansion’s bases, but he knew it would be useless to wait at those two bases. For one, it was pointless for him to wait near the Profound Nether Mansion’s base since he would not be able to obtain points from fellow members of the Profound Nether Mansion. Secondly, since he had just eliminated eleven people from the Martial Battle Mansion near their base, it was highly likely that no one from the Martial Battle Mansion would be stepping out from the base for a while. Apart from that, he knew it was also pointless to wait for disciples from the Martial Battle Mansion to return to their base. After all, the end of the month was fast approaching, and they would be automatically transported out when time was up; there was no need for them to return to their base. For all these reasons, he did not wait at the two Celestial Mansions’ bases and ventured out to look for other grade-six Celestial Mansions’ bases instead.

‘There are less than two days left before the scoreboard is refreshed. There aren’t many people who would enter the middle realm at this time. It’s going to be like searching for a needle in a haystack to find another person now,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he traveled by teleportation. He no longer held hope that he would run into anyone. He held his Accumulative Point Jade as he continued thinking to himself, ‘Since I entered the middle realm too late, I think 41 points will be my final score for this month.’

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian arrived at a forest with treacherous terrain. Previously, he would be extremely cautious when traveling through such terrains. However, at this moment, he was no longer as cautious. After all, he thought it was unlikely that he would run into another soul here. Even if there were people here, he did not think they would be very powerful since those who ranked at the top had already left the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian abruptly came to a halt after traveling for half an hour. Soon enough, he saw a figure shrouded in green energy charging toward him fiercely.

Whoosh!

At the same time, the figure was moving his hands about swiftly, forming an energy saber with the wind. He continued charging toward Duan Ling Tian as he wielded the saber in his hand.

A saber cry rang in the air, and a piercing energy shrouded Duan Ling Tian swiftly. All this happened in just a blink of an eye; Duan Ling Tian who had his guard down almost did not react in time.

“Teleportation Profundity!” The wind saber was merely a few meters away from Duan Ling Tian’s body and it was just a moment away from landing on him when he vanished without a trace.

“Teleportation?” The green figure stopped in his tracks. A hint of shock could be seen in his widened eyes. He had comprehended the law of wind. Therefore, there was only a handful of people in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm who were faster than him. How could he not be shocked that his opponent managed to dodge his attack and vanished into thin air in front of his eyes? If it was not the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity, what else could it be?

‘Restraining Profundity!’ While the figure shrouded in green energy came to a stop and had yet to regain his senses, Duan Ling Tian teleported behind the green figure and cast the law of space’s Restraining Profundity without wasting any time.

‘Territory Profundity!’ At the same time, Duan Ling Tian cast the law of space’s Territory Profundity that covered a ten-meter radius around him. Then, he teleported close to the green figure.

At this time, the green figure turned around, meeting Duan Ling Tian’s gaze. He seemed unaffected by the Restraining Profundity and the Territory Profundity. The green energy around him that seemed to contain tiny wind sabers was keeping the Space Energy in the territory at bay.

“Han Qing Mansion’s Liu Ji?” When the green figure turned around, Duan Ling Tian saw the identity token hanging from the green figure’s waist. He recalled the conversations he had heard before he entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

At that time, Duan Ling Tian heard someone saying the Han Qing Mansion’s Liu Ji had only entered the middle realm five days ago, but he already obtained many points. Moreover, his points were still increasing. People seemed to think it would not be difficult for Liu Ji to rank in the top thirty this month.

That was the first time Duan Ling Tian had heard about Liu Ji. He instinctively searched for Liu Ji’s name on the scoreboard after that. With a little over 100 points, Liu Ji was ranked at the 33rd place. He only needed less than twenty points to rank in the top 30.

‘Based on the time we have left in the middle realm for this month, today should be his last day in the middle realm. If he doesn’t leave soon, he’ll be forced to exit.’

“A Profound Nether Mansion’s outer court disciple? Duan Ling Tian?” Similarly, Liu Ji was looking at Duan Ling Tian’s identity token as well. A frown appeared on his face. He had never heard of a disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion who had comprehended the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity. Moreover, he noticed Duan Ling Tian had cast four profundities from the law of space so far: the Space Elemental Profundity, the Teleportation Profundity, the Restraining Profundity, and the Territory Profundity. An outer court disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion who had comprehended, at least, four profundities from the law of space? He was confused. Unless the person in front of him had intentionally concealed his strength, there was no way he would be unknown.

“Distortion Profundity! Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity!’ While Liu Ji was deep in his thoughts, Duan Ling Tian did not stop. He quickly cast two other profundities from the law of space. The void in the territory began to distort and ripple violently. The force was so strong that it easily crushed the tiny wind saber that was spinning on the surface of Liu Ji’s skin.

The void tore open before a streak of grey saber ray shot out of the crack. It was so eye-catching and formidable that it eclipsed everything in its surroundings. It seemed to have locked on to Liu Ji as it continued shooting toward him.

It was obvious that Liu Ji would die if the attack landed on him. He struggled, but he could not free himself from Duan Ling Tian’s restrictions. In the end, he decisively crushed his Accumulative Point Jade before he fiercely said, “Don’t let me see you next month!”

A brilliant green light burst forth from Liu Ji’s body at this moment, keeping Duan Ling Tian’s attack at bay. Soon enough, the Formation from the Accumulative Point Jade sent him back to his Celestial Mansion. This was the first time he was eliminated in such an infuriating manner.

When Liu Ji had first seen Duan Ling Tian, he had assumed Duan Ling Tian, as an outer court disciple, was no threat to him at all. Although he had been surprised when Duan Ling Tian cast four profundities from the law of space, he did not think Duan Ling Tian was able to threaten him. When Duan Ling Tian cast another two profundities, bringing the number up to six profundities, he knew he had been too reckless. Alas, it was too late for him to counter the attack. Moreover, he needed time to free himself from his restraints before he could counter the attack. With how fast and fierce the attack from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity was, he did not have time for that. It was too late. The only thing he could do was to hastily put up a defense for a moment to crush his Accumulative Point Jade. With this, at least, he would be able to preserve his life. Otherwise, he would have died.

Nevertheless, Liu Ji felt indignant that he was forced to crush his Accumulative Point Jade. After all, if he had been prepared and did not underestimate his opponent, he knew he would be able to defeat or kill his opponent even if his opponent had comprehended six profundities from the law of space. Since he had comprehended the two main movement profundities from the law of wind, his speed was comparable to his opponent’s Teleportation Profundity.

‘If I can avoid his Restraining Profundity and Territory Profundity, I’ll be able to catch up to him even if he uses the Teleportation Profundity. At that time, it wouldn’t be difficult for me to defeat and kill him.’ Liu Ji was extremely displeased about being forced to leave the middle realm.

“113 points?” After Liu Ji crushed his Accumulative Point Jade, Duan Ling Tian discovered his points had increased a lot. With Liu Ji’s points, he now had 154 points.
