War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Apart from You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor and the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor were rather calm compared to the others who were staring at Duan Ling Tian furiously. This was especially true for Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor, and the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor. The duo looked as though they could not wait to tear Duan Ling Tian into pieces.

“Palace Master.” Xu Lang stepped forward, shielding Duan Ling Tian, and looked at the Heavenly Pool Palace Master, You Feng Yu. He said as his eyes flashed, “I have nothing to say about his conflict with the Heavenly Pool Palace. However, Duan Ling Tian is here to visit me today so I can’t stand and watch as all of you attack him. Once he leaves, you can do whatever you want to him.”

Duan Ling Tian was shocked by Xu Lang’s decisiveness to protect him even though Xu Lang was clearly outnumbered.

“Xu Lang!” The Merciless Celestial Emperor, Lei Ying, glared at Xu Lang and said in a low voice, “Not only did he kill my son, but he freed the prisoners, including the titled Celestial Emperors, from the Thousand Chains Prison. And yet, you still insist on protecting him?”

At the end of her words, Lei Ying’s lips curled up into a contemptuous smile. After all, even if Xu Lang insisted on protecting Duan Ling Tian, it would be useless. After all, You Feng Yu would never let Duan Ling Tian get away.

“Xu Lang!” The Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor looked at Xu Lang frostily. “It seems like your bonds run deep. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to live today. If you intervene, I’ll move against you. Let’s see if your strength has increased.”

“Xu Lang, you better stay out of this matter!”

“Xu Lang, don’t make a mistake!”

The Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor and the Misty Wave Celestial Emperor warned Xu Lang.

“Xu Ya Si,” You Feng Yu, who was standing in the distance, looked at Xu Ya Si and said, “You better dissuade your father from making a mistake…”

The group of titled Celestial Emperors shifted their eyes to Xu Ya Si. Since her strength was comparable to You Feng Yu, her opinion naturally mattered to them. The strong had always been revered after all. With her strength at such a young age, it was only a matter of time before she surpassed You Feng Yu who was currently the strongest in the Heavenly Pool Palace.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Before Xu Ya Si could respond to You Feng Yi, her juniors moved to stand next to Xu Lang, shielding Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he watched.

Although Elder Huo had only just met Xu Lang and his students for the first time, he was filled with respect for them.

Hu Mei turned to look at Xu Ya Si and said mischievously, “Eldest Senior Sister, we’ll follow your lead.”

Xu Ya Si smiled faintly as she moved to stand in line with her juniors. This clearly answered You Feng Yu’s question. She would not stand by and watch as they attacked Duan Ling Tian.

“Ridiculous!” Lei Ying’s expression darkened. Her body trembled in anger. “Palace Master, look at this group of ingrates. Since they’re determined to protect Duan Ling Tian, we should kill all of them!”

“Xu Ya Si, with your innate talent, you have a bright future ahead… Are you willing to go against the Heavenly Pool Palace because of a traitor?” A hint of fear could be seen in the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor as he looked at Xu Ya Si. He was not afraid of Xu Lang, but the same could not be said for Xu Ya Si who had surpassed him a few years ago. In a one-on-one fight, she would easily defeat him.

“Xu Ya Si.”

At this moment, the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor and the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor who had remained silent all this time spoke up to dissuade Xu Ya Si. They had watched her grow up and did not want her to throw her bright future away. They wanted to see how far she could go and were unwilling to see her go down the wrong path.

“I don’t care if he’s a traitor or not,” Xu Ya Si said indifferently to all the Heavenly Pool Palace titled Celestial Emperors, “All I know is my Little Junior Brother came to apologize to us today. Whoever wants to harm him will have to go through me…”

As soon as she finished speaking, a grey energy appeared in her hand before it morphed into a thick chain that was a few meters long. The thick chain seemed weightless when she held it in her hand.

“Xu Ya Si. Due to your talent, I’d planned to appoint you as the next Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace. If you step aside today, I promise I’ll step down after 10,000 years and hand my position over to you.”

Duan Ling Tian, Xu Lang, and the group of titled Celestial Emperors were shocked by You Feng Yu’s words. They did not expect this at all.

“Think about this carefully,” You Feng Yu added, “A slight mistake can ruin everything… You have a bright future waiting for you; why throw it away? I know the position of Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace Master might not be attractive to you, but you have the potential to become a Heavenly Emperor…”

“Palace Master, let Duan Ling Tian go,” Xu Ya Si said, clearly not swayed by You Feng Yu’s words.

Duan Ling Tian’s gaze grew even more complex. He had only met his Xu Ya Si once, but she was willing to risk her future for him. He asked Elder Huo through Voice Transmission, “Elder Huo, let’s just reveal our identities now. It’s useless wasting time with them…”

You Feng Yu’s expression darkened, clearly angered by Xu Ya Si’s words. “Xu Ya Si, you disregard the kindness I extended to you so don’t blame us for not showing mercy.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Celestial Origin Energies of the titled Celestial Emperors of the Heavenly Pool Palace surged out of their bodies immediately.

“Today the Heavenly Pool Palace will kill Xu Lang and all his disciples!” You Feng Yu ordered indifferently.

“Yes, Palace Master.”

The group of titled Celestial Emperors separated and surrounded Duan Ling Tian and the others.

“Elder Huo!” Duan Ling Tian called out. At the same time, his Celestial Origin Energy surged and a grey energy shrouded him as spatial cracks appeared around him.

“We won’t reveal our identities until the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven arrives…” Elder Huo said before he rose into the air. The end of his long red robes fluttered in the air as flames surged around him.

“Elder Huo’s energy…” Duan Ling Tian discovered that Elder Huo’s Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the law of fire was hotter than was normal. ‘Could this be due to this true form as a Three-legged Golden Crow?’

The Three-legged Golden Crow possessed solar energy. Back in the mundane realm, Elder Huo had given some of the energy to him. However, it was nothing compared to the solar energy Elder Huo was currently emitting.

Elder Huo looked at Lei Ying as he raised his hand, “You want to kill my Young Master?”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A fiery seven-tier pagoda flew out from Elder Huo’s hand and hovered above Lei Ying’s head.

“Die!” Elder Huo roared.

The flames from the seven-tier pagoda surged high.

With a wave of his hand, the flames fell on Lei Ying fiercely before she even had a chance to react. She hurriedly brought her Celestial Weapon out to defend herself, but her defenses were instantly breached by the flames.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang in the air as the seven-tier further broke through Lei Ying’s defenses.

“Watch out!” You Feng Yu shouted to warn Lei Ying. His expression changed drastically as he watched what was happening.

No one expected the old man who trailed after Duan Ling Tian like a subordinate was stronger than Lei Ying!
