War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Similar to the law of wood, apart from possessing the ability to injure and kill, it possessed the ability to heal as well.

When Shiva Ping attacked, the unique silhouette of a snake-like plant appeared. It was green and covered in deadly-looking thorns. After boosting his Celestial Origin Energy with the law of life, he swiftly sent it toward Duan Ling Tian. It was as though tens of thousands of saber rays were sweeping toward Duan Ling Tian and the Pine Willow Divine Tree from the Godly Image Phenomenon.

All of a sudden…

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang in the air and the ground shook just as Shiva Ping’s attack was about to land on the Pine Willow Divine Tree. A terrifying and deadly flame surged, destroying his attack.

‘Why is he here? Didn’t he leave?’ Shiva Ping’s expression changed drastically when he saw the red-clad figure shrouded in flames.

The person who appeared in the nick of time in front of the Pine Willow Divine Tree to stop Shiva Ping was none other than Elder Huo.

Shiva Ping was confused. He had lured Elder Huo away so what was Elder Huo doing here?

At this time, Duan Ling Tian’s voice rang in the air. His voice sounded clear and strong unlike how weak it was before. It was as though everything was an act earlier.

“Elder Huo, it seems like I was mistaken. I thought Shiva Nu was up to no good, but it turned out to be Shiva Ping instead…”

Following that, Shiva Ping watched as the Pine Willow Divine Tree disappeared; in its place stood a purple-clad young man who was looking at him mockingly at this moment.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Shiva Ping as he coldly asked, “You must be wondering why Elder Huo is here…”

Shiva Ping’s expression grew worse as he listened to Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“When you said Heavenly Emperor Tatoo had told you that he wanted to see Elder Huo, I thought it was strange. After all, he could have just contacted the person who was leading us here… Moreover, in Heavenly Emperor Tatoo’s eyes, Shiva Nu should’ve already left the Purple Revelation Heaven. That’s why I told Elder Huo to go along with your plan and pretend to leave so I can see what you’re trying to do. As it turns out, you masqueraded as your brother to kill me… I really didn’t expect it to be you; I was so sure it was your brother who harbored ill intentions. After all, your disguise was flawless and impressive. If I’m not mistaken, it should be your innate skill, right?” Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Shiva Ping mockingly.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian knew Shiva Ping was not human but a type of plant, based on Shiva Ping’s earlier attack. It should be a plant with strong camouflage skills. Otherwise, Shiva Ping’s disguise would not be without flaws.

Shiva Ping’s expression darkened now that his plan had been exposed. He hurriedly reverted to the snake-like plant earlier and fled, looking like a green dragon.

“Trying to escape?” Elder Huo sneered. With a wave of his hand, he sent the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda after Shiva Ping. It caught up quickly and took Shiva Ping down.

Bang!

Shiva Ping fell to the ground. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not free himself from the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda’s restraint. When he finally realized he could not free himself, he grew terrified. He knew if he did not beg for mercy now he would definitely die. “Young Master, I’m sorry! I was… I was just joking earlier…”

Duan Ling Tian said derisively, “Didn’t you say you want my divine artifact earlier? Don’t you want it anymore?”

Shiva Ping trembled. “Young Master, I-I was just joking…”

Duan Ling Tian asked frostily, “Why do you think I possess a divine artifact?”

Shiva Ping replied honestly, “In my opinion, Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang must have obtained more than one divine artifact when he was in the Asura Hell since he gave the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor a divine artifact after his return. Everyone has heard about this. I heard from my brother that even Heavenly Emperor Tatoo thinks that Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang must have obtained a few divine artifacts during his time in the Asura Hell. If that was true, I was sure he would have given you one as well…”

“I see. So you planned to kill me and snatch it away…” Duan Ling Tian nodded with a faint smile on his face.

“Young Master, please forgive me! Please show mercy!” Shiva Ping did not hesitate to grovel when he sensed the killing intent Elder Huo emitted while controlling the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Duan Ling Tian smiled icily as he said, “Shiva Ping, you might not be aware of this… Although I’m Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple, I’ve yet to meet him. How could he have given me a divine artifact when we haven’t even met?”

Duan Ling Tian’s words were like an unexpected lightning bolt that struck Shiva Ping silly. He felt like a joke. From the beginning until the end, his actions were futile. He thought he would be able to gain a divine artifact by killing Duan Ling Tian; who knew Duan Ling Tian had not even met Feng Qing Yang? Then, he began to say in desperation, “Young Master, you can’t kill me! If you kill me, my eldest brother will definitely hunt you down!”

Duan Ling Tian cocked an eyebrow. “Is that so?” Then, he turned to Elder Huo and said, “Elder Huo, since he’s so sure about his eldest brother’s stance, let’s bring him to Heavenly Emperor Tatoo. I want to see how this matter plays out…”

…

Tatoo was surprised when he saw Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo returning to his cultivation ground.

“Junior Uncle Tatoo…” Duan Ling Tian briefly recounted what had happened to Tatoo.

Tatoo’s expression grew darker and darker as he listened to Duan Ling Tian.

At the same time, Shiva Ping did not stop pleading for his life. “Please show mercy, my lord! I was temporarily blinded by greed. Please spare me! My brother has been so loyal to you all his life so please spare me…”

Tatoo ignored Shiva Ping. He remained silent as though he was lost in his thoughts. After a while, he finally said indifferently, “I’ve just spoken to your brother and told him about what happened. He said it’s time for you to take responsibility for your actions. He said he has done enough for you all this time, cleaning up your messes. Since you offended the Solitary Destructive Heaven, there’s nothing he can do to protect you now…”

Shiva Ping fell into despair when he heard Tatoo’s words. Suddenly, a strange black mist shrouded him. When the black mist dissipated, all that was left of Shiva Ping was a puddle of blood with a Spatial Ring sitting in the center.

Tatoo, who did not move at all when he attacked, asked, “Junior Nephew Duan, are you satisfied with the way I dealt with this matter?”

“Thank you, Junior Uncle Tatoo.” Duan Ling Tian nodded and expressed his gratitude.

Before Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo left, Tatoo said, “Junior Nephew Duan, Shiva Nu wants to clarify that he doesn’t take this matter to heart. In fact, he and Shiva Ping aren’t related by blood. Shiva Nu treated Shiva Ping as his brother because they grew up together. For many years, Shiva Ping had offended many people without any care due to Shiva Nu’s status as the strongest titled Celestial Emperor under my command. This time, it was Shiva Nu who requested that I kill Shiva Ping.”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said with a faint smile on his face, “There’s no need to explain, Junior Uncle Tatoo. I’m not the kind who would unreasonably shift the blame to another person…”

With that, Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo left.

This time, Duan Ling Tian had spent quite a long time in the Purple Revelation Heaven. After all, he had to deal with the matters regarding the Elegant Sect. He knew his mother cared about the Elegant Sect, and if he did not ensure the safety of the sect, his mother would definitely worry and feel unwilling to leave.

With Tatoo’s promise to protect the Elegant Sect, Duan Ling Tian knew he had helped lift the weight off Li Rou’s shoulders.

…

After leaving the Purple Revelation Heaven through a Transportation Formation, Duan Ling Tian said, “Elder Huo, let’s continue to look for the others…”

The duo continued to search through various Devata Realms.

“Little Fei’er, Nian Tian, Xue Nai, Junior Sister Mu Yi Yi… Where are you?”

Since Duan Ling Tian found a few of his loved ones, he managed to find out the status of the others whom he had yet to find through their Soul Pearls. Apart from those he found and Ke’er, who was still in the Divine Offering Land, the only ones who were still alive were Li Fei, Duan Nian Tian, Han Xue Nai, and Mu Yi Yi.

With Li Rou’s close brush with death, Duan Ling Tian grew even more desperate to find the others. He was afraid something would happen to them if he failed to find them quickly enough.

One day, after traveling to a few Devata Realms and arriving in the Luo River Heaven, Feng Tian Wu suddenly said, “Brother Duan, I received a response from Senior Sister Mu Yi Yi!”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened immediately. “Where’s Junior Sister Mu Yi Yi now?”

Although Mu Yi Yi was not younger than Duan Ling Tian, she was considered as Duan Ling Tian’s junior sister since she was ranked below the Fog Rain Progeny in the Seven Absolutes Sect,

On the other hand, Mu Yi Yi was ranked higher than Feng Tian Wu who was the successor of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny so Feng Tian Wu had to address her as senior sister.
