War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The person who had asked Duan Ling Tian to hand over the Celestial Fruits was a middle-aged man dressed in a long silver robe. His skin was smooth as jade, and he had a conspicuous mole on his forehead.

‘A One Basic Celestial Lord?’ Duan Ling Tian could sense the middle-aged man’s cultivation base through the middle-aged man’s Celestial Origin Energy that was surging out of his body. He smiled faintly and said, “We’ll have to see if you have the capability of snatching these Celestial Fruits from me…”

The onlookers were taken aback when they saw how nonchalant Duan Ling Tian was acting. It seemed like he did not take the Celestial Lord seriously at all. Was he not digging his own grave by acting in this manner? They looked at him pitifully.

“How dare this Ten Directions Celestial King behave so rudely to Elder Sun Yu?”

“Elder Sun Yu is not only the Ganges Profound Sect’s elder, but he’s a One Basic Celestial Lord… Is this kid crazy?”

“He’s seeking trouble!”

Sun Yu’s eyes flashed coldly as he said, “Brat, since you have a death wish, I’ll grant you your wish!” As soon as he finished speaking, he made a move immediately. However, he did not bother using his Celestial Weapon at all. In his opinion, a mere Ten Directions Celestial King was not worth him using his Celestial Weapon.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

…

Sun Yu who had comprehended the law of wind swept toward Duan Ling Tian like a gust of wind. When he was almost upon Duan Ling Tian, he discovered Duan Ling Tian had vanished into thin air. He sneered. “Teleportation Profundity? So what if you’ve comprehended the law of space? I can easily catch up with your speed…”

“Is that so?” Duan Ling Tian teleported and reappeared 100 meters behind Sun Yu. Then, he said with a chuckle, “I’ll give you a chance. Let’s see if you’re really capable of catching up with my speed.”

Under the onlookers’ watchful eyes, Sun Yu began to chase after Duan Ling Tian. However, as time continued to pass, he still failed to catch Duan Ling Tian. With this, his expression began to turn unsightly.

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Sun Yu and said mockingly, “You’re too slow… You’re a disgrace to your peers… That’s it. I’m done playing with you…”

When Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he teleported and appeared behind Sun Yu again. Following that, he raised his hand to attack.

Upon seeing this, Sun Yu released his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Wind Elemental Profundity.

At the same time, three spatial tears appeared before three grey sword rays shot out. Golden flames burst out of the sword rays as they sailed through the air. They easily passed through Sun Yu’s Celestial Origin Energy and pierced his body, instantly killing him.

Just like that, a One Basic Celestial Lord had died.

Duan Ling Tian said indifferently after he killed Sun Yu, “How dare you challenge me when you’ve only comprehended three profundities from the law of wind to the initial stage?”

Meanwhile, the onlookers only regained their senses when Duan Ling Tian finally vanished from their sight.

“He killed Elder Sun?”

“Heavens! A mere Ten Directions Celestial King killed Elder Sun Yu, a One Basic Celestial Lord?”

“It seemed like Elder Sun Yu didn’t even have time to bring out his purely defensive Celestial Weapon. That person’s speed is too fast!”

“The law of space is really terrifying! If I’m not mistaken, he has comprehended at least four profundities to the initial stage. Moreover, there were the golden flames that appeared when he attacked as well… Who knows what technique is that?”

“Even if Elder Sun Yu brought his Celestial Weapon out, I don’t think he’d be a match for that person.”

“Where did this Ten Directions Celestial King come from? I don’t think I’ve seen him before…”

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had already moved to another area to look for more Celestial Fruits and herbs. Although the herbs were not particularly helpful to him, they were very valuable in the market. Therefore, he decided to collect herbs as well. Moreover, when the Chaos Divine Flame evolved into a higher form, perhaps, he might start refining pills again.

At this moment, a group of twelve flew past Duan Ling Tian. Their conversation instantly caught Duan Ling Tian’s interest.

“The Red River Celestial Fruit has appeared!”

“Let’s go and have a look!”

“I heard that the Palm Fire Zen Sect and the Ganges Profound Sect’s two Celestial Lords are there… There’s only one Red River Celestial Fruit so they’re fighting over it now!”

“Since the elders from the Palm Fire Zen Sect and the Ganges Profound Sect are there, there’s no way any of us will be able to get our hands on the Celestial Fruit. We can only watch a show…”

‘The Red River Celestial Fruit?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up immediately. He knew that the Red River Celestial Fruit could help raise a Celestial Lord’s cultivation base. Such a Celestial Fruit was considered one of the best. He thought to himself, ‘If Huan’er consumes the Red River Celestial Fruit, she’ll definitely have a breakthrough in her cultivation base and become a Two Forms Celestial Lord!’

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian did not waste time and began to follow the group of people.

…

Shortly after, Duan Ling Tian arrived in a beautiful valley. He saw roughly 60 people surrounding two old men, dressed in a green robe and a blue robe respectively, who were in the midst of a battle. In just a short time, his eyes found a red Celestial Fruit hanging from a wilted tree near the cliff of the valley.

The red Celestial Fruit was shrouded with a red mist that moved like water. It was for this reason that it was named the Red River Celestial Fruit.

At this time, the green-clad old man said solemnly, “Old Wang, I discovered this Celestial Fruit first. We’ll miss out on many Celestial Fruits if we waste time fighting over the Red River Celestial Fruit here…”

The blue-clad old man replied with a smile, “If you’re worried about wasting time, you can directly give me the Celestial Fruit…”

“So you’re intent on fighting me?” the green-clad old man coldly asked.

“That’s right. Let’s see if your strength has improved recently. If you can beat me, the Celestial Fruit will naturally be yours,” the blue-clad old man said as he narrowed his eyes.

The green-clad old man scoffed. He could no longer hold back and charged toward the blue-clad old man at lightning speed.

Similarly, the blue-clad man swept out toward the green-clad old man as well.

The two old men comprehended the law of water and the law of fire respectively. Fire and water were incompatible elements, and their battle became even more intense.

Meanwhile, the onlookers discussed among themselves as they watched the old men fight. Although the two old men were distracted now, none of them dared to seize the opportunity and pluck the Red River Celestial Fruit. In their opinion, to steal the Celestial Fruit from two Celestial Lords was akin to seeking death.

“I wonder if Elder Wang from the Palm Fire Zen Sect or Elder Qin from the Ganges Profound Sect is stronger?”

“I heard they’re old rivals. Their fights had always ended in a tie in the past.”

“Old rivals? No wonder they fought as soon as they met.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted as he watched the two old men’s fearsome battle.

Whoosh!

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian appeared next to the Red River Celestial Fruit. Seemingly carefree, he reached out and plucked the Red River Celestial Fruit before putting it away. His actions successfully caught everyone’s attention. Even the two old men who were battling came to a stop and looked at him.

The two old men cried out one after another.

“Brat, do you want to die?!”

“How dare you steal my Celestial Fruit! Die!”

The two old men attacked in unison. Their Celestial Origin Energies shot out like a water dragon and fire dragon toward Duan Ling Tian. They only dared to attack unreservedly after they saw Duan Ling Tian had put the Red River Celestial Fruit away. Otherwise, they would not have simply attacked in fear of damaging the Red River Celestial Fruit.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When the water dragon and the fire dragon were a hair’s breadth away from Duan Ling Tian, he vanished into thin air.

Upon seeing this, the onlookers broke out in an uproar.

“It’s the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity!”

“It’s not just that! He has also comprehended it to the initial stage!”

“Who’s the purple-clad young man? I’ve never heard of a Ten Directions Celestial King who comprehended the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity to the initial stage in this area…”

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian cast the Teleportation Profundity again when he saw the two old men trying to lock onto him with their Divine Consciousness.

‘A Two Forms Celestial Lord and a Three Talents Celestial Lord… I bet they didn’t think there would be someone bold enough to steal the Celestial Fruit under their noses…” After teleporting 30,000 meters away, Duan Ling Tian stopped moving. He knew he was out of the range of the two old men’s Divine Consciousness, and they would not be able to track him.

…

Back in the valley, the old men were, naturally, infuriated that the Red River Celestial Fruit had been stolen before their eyes.

“Old Wang, it’s your fault that someone stole the Red River Celestial Fruit!”

“You should blame yourself for not letting me have it earlier!”

With this, the two old men began to bicker again.

Meanwhile, the group of onlookers only watched in stunned silence. When they regained their senses, they slowly scattered. Since the Red River Celestial Fruit was gone, there would no longer be a show to watch. It was better for them to continue looking for Celestial Fruits and herbs.

The grade-three medicinal herb paradise was vast. Although quite some time had passed and many people had entered the realm, there were still many unexplored places. Some of these places were hidden by Illusory Formations so most people would not be able to find them. The reason for the Illusory Formations was so that those who entered later would still be able to harvest Celestial Fruits and herbs; naturally, that was only if they could see through Illusory Formations.

To protect the Celestial Fruits and herbs, there were no offensive Formations such as the Spirit Formation. Apart from that, there were no Celestial Beasts or guardians that guarded the fruits as well. Everyone was free to harvest and pluck the Celestial Fruits and herbs.
