War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Su Li!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically as Su Li remained frozen on the spot as though he was in a trance.

Duan Ling Tian rose to his feet instinctively, wanting to pull Su Li out of harm’s way.

At the same time, the others thought Su Li must have lost his mind. How could he be in a daze during such a critical moment? Some of them even wondered if Tuoba Ping had cast an illusory technique.

Tuoba Ping naturally knew Su Li’s odd behavior had nothing to do with him. After all, he was not skilled in illusory techniques.

“Su Li!!” Tuoba Ping frowned as he watched Su Li about to die under his sword attack. At the same time, he decided to withdraw his attack. Although he could not completely withdraw the force of his attack and the force would likely gravely injure Su Li, at least Su Li would not die.

Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to step in and intervene during the crucial moment, Feng Qing Yang’s voice rang in his ears. “Don’t disturb him!”

Upon hearing his master’s words, Duan Ling Tian instinctively turned to look at Su Li. Previously, he was too anxious to notice the destructive energy raging around Su Li’s body. It was as if cold water had slowly come to a boil.

At this moment.

“I understand now,” Su Li murmured as his eyes suddenly brightened. The blood-red energy around him flashed as a terrifying destructive energy swept out in his surroundings, causing the barrier around the battle ring to tremble.

Tuoba Ping’s expression changed drastically when he sensed something was amiss. He could tell Su Li was like a different person now; Su Li had clearly become much stronger than before. He could not help but shudder inwardly when he sensed Su Li’s energy.

‘Did he have a breakthrough and possess the strength of a Four Star God of War now?’ This thought suddenly appeared in Tuoba Ping’s mind. The difference between a Three Star God of War and a Four Star God of War was like heaven and earth where the latter could easily defeat the former.

‘I hope I’m wrong about it…’ Tuoba Ping thought to himself as he mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy to attack Su Li with all his might. As soon as sensed Su Li’s change, his intention to withdraw his attack vanished as well.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golden-green light from the huge sword shone even more dazzling than before, illuminating the battle ring. It seemed as though it would be too late for Su Li to escape now even if he had broken through and now possessed the strength of a Four Star God of War.

“You’re just in time.” Su Li casually tossed his Celestial Sword.

A blood-red sword ray appeared immediately and increased in size at an alarming rate before it shot toward the giant sword with a terrifying destructive force.

The void rippled and twisted in its wake as though it was about to tear.

…

The young geniuses could sense the terrifying energy from Su Li’s attack as well, and they were confused and shocked.

“How did he suddenly grow so strong? Was he holding back his strength earlier?”

“It feels like he has fused another two profundities with his attack… That’s probably why his strength has increased tremendously…”

“Heavens! His attack seems to be on par with the attack from Tuoba Ping’s Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon that has an artifact soul!”

…

Similarly, the Heavenly Emperors of various Devata Realms and higher-ups from the Title Temple branches were sur[rised as well. Their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at Su Li.

Unlike most of the young geniuses, they could clearly feel that Su Li was not a match for Tuoba Ping. Therefore, they knew he was not holding back his strength earlier when his destructive energy suddenly grew stronger.

“Su Li’s comprehension skills are terrifying. When faced with a life-or-death situation, he actually managed to gain a deeper understanding of the law of destruction, resulting in a breakthrough!” one of the Heavenly Emperors said.

and achieved a breakthrough!” one of the Heavenly Emperors exclaimed.

“I heard that Su Li is from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect in the Jade Emperor Heaven. Who knew that such a monstrous talent would appear after that genius… I wonder if the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven can handle him,” another Heavenly Emperor said with a sigh as he glanced at Yu Hao Tian, the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven.

In the past, the heaven-grade Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect had a genius who was strong enough to challenge Yu Hao Tian. It was unfortunate he was eventually defeated and perished.

That incident seemed to be the start of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect’s downfall. Rumor had it that the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven had intentionally pressured the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. Therefore, the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect left the Jade Emperor Territory and moved to the Nan Dou Territory where they thrived.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven, Yu Hao Tian, was sitting with Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven, Gongsun Xuanyuan.

“He’s a disciple of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect?” Gongsun Xuanyuan asked.

Yu Hao Tian nodded. “He’s considered one of a kind in the history of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect… How unexpected. After being on the decline for so many years, the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect managed to produce such a great talent.”

“Do you feel the pressure?” Gongsun Xuanyuan asked with a smile on his face, “That genius from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect had caused quite some damage to you in the past… Although you killed him eventually, it still took you a few hundred years to fully heal from the injuries he dealt you.”

Nobody knew about the matter as clearly as Gongsun Xuanyuan did.

The genius Sword Celestial from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect was evenly matched with Yu Hao Tian during their earth-shattering battle. In the end, Yu Hao Tian managed to defeat him and kill him by a slight margin. In fact, Yu Hao Tian did not intend to kill him, but at that critical moment, things were out of his control. If Yu Hao Tian did not gain a slight edge at that time, he would have been the one who died.

Due to severe injuries, Yu Hao Tian went into closed-door cultivation for a few hundred years to recover. During the time he was away, his nephew, Yang Jian; Three-eye Celestial Emperor, had used his name and ordered the titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Palace of the Jade Emperor Heaven to attack the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, forcing the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect to flee the Jade Emperor Territory and move to the Nan Dou Territory.

Since Yang Jian had acted under Yu Hao Tian’s name, Yang Jian did not dare to go overboard. Nevertheless, he was still punished by Yu Hao Tian when Yu Hao Tian emerged from closed-door cultivation.

At that time, Yu Hao Tian had planned to invite the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect back to the Jade Emperor Territory since he treated that genius as his confidant. However, when he went to the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect and discovered they seemed to be thriving even more after leaving the Jade Emperor Territory, he decided it was best to leave them alone and left without a word.

Although rumors were rife about him suppressing the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, he did not bother to explain himself.

“Finally, there seems to be hope for them.” Yu Hao Tian nodded. “The fraternal twins from the Gan Jiang Progeny and Mo Xie Progeny of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect might be able to hold their own against me if they manage to grow stronger before I attain godhood. However, they won’t be able to pressure me much. Su Li, on the other hand, is a different story. He reminds me of that person… Perhaps, it’s only a matter of time before he catches up to me.”

Based on his words, Yu Hao Tian clearly thought highly of Su Li.

“I’m afraid he’ll try to avenge the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect and dethrone you,” Gongsun Xuanyuan said with a smile.

“I have nothing to say if he’s really capable of that…” Yu Hao Tian said sincerely with a smile on his face.

…

On the other side.

“His comprehension skills aren’t bad…” Feng Qing Yang smiled when he saw Su Li’s law destruction had risen another level after his breakthrough. He was the first to notice earlier when Su Li suddenly fell into a trance; he was also the first to figure out that Su Li must have had an epiphany and was on the cusp of a breakthrough. Therefore, he had stopped Duan Ling Tian from intervening.

Based on Su Li’s performance, he could tell that Su Li had taken his advice to heart. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Su Li to successfully fuse two profundities from the law of destruction at such a crucial moment. Moreover, the fusing method Su Li had used was the method he taught Su Li. It had to be said although he imparted his knowledge to Su Li, it all depended on Su Li to grasp his words and achieve a breakthrough.

‘This breakthrough will grant him the strength of a Four Star God of War… With his current strength, he should be able to make it into the top 30 with ease,’ Feng Qing Yang thought to himself.

…

Most of the young geniuses were unaware that Su Li had a breakthrough and assumed he was hiding his strength earlier.

However, there were a few astute young geniuses who knew Su Li had a breakthrough. With this knowledge, they knew Su Li would defeat Tuoba Ping.

At the same time, a smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face again as he watched the blood-red sword collide with the golden-green sword. ‘He’s successfully broken through!’
