War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The Heavenly Pool Palace has nine titled Celestial Emperors. Although Duan Ling Tian managed to lure two of them away, there were still seven left in the Heavenly Pool Palace’s estate. On the other hand, there were only six titled Celestial Emperors in Duan Ling Tian’s side, excluding Meng Chuan, the Jade Bow Celestial Emperor, who would be in charge of stalling You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace. In addition to that, Duan Ling Tian had two Ning Dragons in his Little World whose joint attack was equivalent to that of an ordinary titled Celestial Emperor. Therefore, the group of prisoners was optimistic about their chances of escaping. All they needed to do was stay on guard.

‘Deadly Square!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted as he looked around the square. This was his fourth time here. The first time he was here was when he was being shown around the Thousand Chains Prison. The second time was when he left the Thousand Chains Prison during his first visit. The third time was when he entered the Thousand Chains Prison again a few days ago. After breaking the Formation here and leaving this place, they would finally be out of the Thousands Chains Prison.

The Formation in the Deadly Square was their biggest obstacle in the Thousand Chains Prison. Although it was somewhat similar to the Formations on the third floor of the prison, the Formation here had a potent killing Formation that was powerful enough to injure and possibly kill a titled Celestial Emperor. Those who were below the stage of a titled Celestial Emperor would undoubtedly die if they triggered the Formation.

Duan Ling Tian said at this moment, “Brother Pei, you’ll need to work with the other five seniors to break the Formation here. I can only rely on all of you for this matter.”

Duan Ling Tian had already informed the six titled Celestial Emperors of this matter beforehand and taught them the way to break the Formation as the World Cleansing Divine Water had taught him.

“Alright.” Pei Yuan Ji nodded. Then, he wasted no time in getting the other five titled Celestial Emperors into positions. Once everyone was in position, he said, “Now!”

As soon as Pei Yuan Ji’s voice fell, a mustard energy rolled off his body. Similarly, mustard energies rolled out of the other titled Celestial Emperor’s bodies as well. The only exception was Xuan Bing, the Profound Ice Celestial Emperor, who had emitted an icy energy.

Although Xuan Bing’s comprehension of the law of earth was rather good, his comprehension of the law of ice was better. Therefore, he decided to use the law of ice to break the Formation.

As for Pei Yuan Ji and the other four, they could only use the law of earth since that was the only law they comprehended. Although the law of earth specialized in defenses and they needed offensive power at this time, they could only make do with the law of earth since it was the only law they comprehended.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian said to the others, “Everyone, stay where you are. Don’t move. Otherwise, you’ll die!”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian summoned the two Ning Dragons from his Little World. They hovered in the air and stared at the group of prisoners. There was no harm in being cautious since the slightest movement at this critical moment could get them all killed.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At some point, Lian Qiu who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian had already sent his wife into his Little World. Numerous energy swords revolved around him as he kept an eye on the group of prisoners behind them as well.

A middle-aged man said with a grin, “Brother, relax. We won’t allow anyone to interrupt Lord Pei as well.”

“That’s right!”

Many people nodded in agreement.

“Anyone who dares to interrupt Lord Pei is an obstacle to our freedom! We’ll definitely kill such a person!”

“That’s right!”

Needless to say, the prisoners did not dare to move at all.

After roughly 15 minutes had passed, a violent wind stirred in the Deadly Square.

When the violent wind died down, Pei Yuan Ji’s indifferent voice that was not loud rang in everyone’s ears. “Alright.”

It was as silent as a graveyard for a moment before everyone sighed in relief.

As they moved across the square that was now free from the killing Formation, Pei Yuan Ji said coldly, “After leaving the Thousand Chains Prison, everyone should stop following me and go their own way! Whether you successfully escape after leaving the prison or not will depend on your luck!”

The reason Pei Yuan Ji had reminded these prisoners not to follow him was to create a distraction. Although the prison was not located in the Heavenly Pool Palace due to the conditions of some of the Formations, the outside was heavily surveilled. As soon as they break out of the Thousand Chains Prison, You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, and the other titled Celestial Emperors would be alerted.

When Duan Ling Tian and the others finally arrived at the entrance of the Thousand Chains Prison, Ma Chi and Ke Bai Lu dealt with all the elders on duty there. With two titled Celestial Emperors clearing the way, the elders from the Thousand Chains Prison did not even have a chance to react, let alone stop them.

“Leave!” Pei Yuan Ji said.

Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, rushed out of the Thousand Chains Prison immediately. The few elders that were guarding the outside of the prison were quickly killed by the titled Celestial Emperors before they could even react.

The prisoners were in high spirits after leaving the Thousand Chains Prison. They were shouting, laughing, and cheering as they fled at top speed.

“Go!”

“I’m finally free!”

“Heavenly Pool Palace, I will even the score with you in the future!”

“Let’s go!”

Similarly, Duan Ling Tian and the others did not linger at the entrance of the Thousand Chains Prison as well.

“Hmm?” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian saw a vaguely familiar figure in the distance that was heading in their direction. After a moment, he discovered it was Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor. ‘It seems like Lei Ying has already found out about her son’s death.”

“Brother Pei, Senior Lian Qiu, seniors, this way!” Previously, Duan Ling Tian and the other titled Celestial Emperors had agreed to stick together after leaving the Thousand Chains Prison to avoid getting taken out one by one. The direction he was leading everyone to was the location he had agreed to meet with Meng Chuan, the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s Jade Bow Celestial Emperor.

“Senior Meng Chuan, I’ve left the prison. The six titled Celestial Emperors previously imprisoned there are with me as well. I’ll see you at our meeting point. With all of us present, it shouldn’t be difficult for us to escape from the Heavenly Pool Palace’s titled Celestial Emperors.” Duan Ling Tian sent a message to Meng Chuan while he made his way to the meeting point.

Meng Chuan was already at the meeting point when he received Duan Ling Tian’s message. However, he decided not to wait and meet the others halfway.

The distance between Duan Ling Tian and Meng Chuan was closing when Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor, had arrived and saw the chaos in the Thousand Chains Prison. Due to the chaos, she did not notice Duan Ling Tian. She only saw the six titled Celestial Emperors. She could recognize them since she had seen them before in the past. She did not hesitate and hurriedly sent a message to You Feng You, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, and the other seven titled Celestial Emperors.

“Pavilion Master, many prisoners have escaped from the Thousand Chains Prison. The Swirling Cloud Celestial Emperor and the Golden Flower Celestial Emperor are among them. There’s a white-clad young man with them who seems to be Pei Yuan Ji, the Nirvanic Celestial Emperor! The other three titled Celestial Emperors, the Profound Ice Celestial Emperor; the White Deer Celestial Emperor; and the Gale Thunder Celestial Emperor, have escaped as well!”

After sending the message, Lei Ying silently tailed Duan Ling Tian and the others. When she came across some of the prisoners who had escaped, she would kill them as well.

These prisoners had chosen to head in the same direction as Duan Ling Tian and the others. For this reason, they were unlucky and ran into Lei Ying as well.

At this moment, Lei Ying finally received a reply from You Feng Yu. “I’ve heard about this from the elders guarding the Thousand Chains Prison.”

Although You Feng Yu’s voice was calm, Lei Ying could hear the underlying rage in his voice.

…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Soon after, eight figures caught up with Lei Ying. The person in the lead was You Feng Yu, the First Trial Celestial Emperor and the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace. Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor; Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor; the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor; and the Smoke Wave Celestial Emperor. Apart from that, there were two women and a man as well.

One of the women was dressed in long black robes. Her face was beautiful, framed by her jet black hair that draped on her back. Her gaze was piercing, and she had a cold expression on her face. This woman was none other than the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor whose strength was said to be on par with the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor. She was one of the two titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace whose strength in the palace was only second to You Feng Yu. She was also the master of Liu Bai Feng, one of the prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace.

The other woman was dressed in a light green dress and held a zither in her arms. Her movements were enchanting and graceful. She was none other than Ji Qiu Ran, the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor.

Rounding up the group of the nine titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace was a slender and tall young man. Although his facial features were ordinary, his gaze was piercing and fierce like that of a wolf. He was none other than Yang Xiao Tian, the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor.
