War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Xue Mingzhi’s expression darkened upon hearing his friend’s message. He cursed inwardly, ‘What is wrong with Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian? Have they been bewitched by Duan Ling Tian? Why are they following him around like a dog?’

After a while, when Xue Ming Zhi’s expression eased, he thought to himself, ‘I don’t believe that Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian will be with Duan Ling Tian every time he enters the Imperial War Realm. The chance for us to strike will come eventually…’

With this thought in mind, Xue Ming Zhi felt much better.

…

Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of Xue Ming Zhi’s feelings at this moment. He was in high spirits after receiving more than 12,000 war points from the two Underworld Elders whom they had killed. In addition to the inner elders, four rudimentary Lords of Gods, and one intermediate Lord of Gods, they had earned 16,800 war points.

Upon seeing the bright smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face after exchanging for war points, Xue Hai Chuan asked, “These war points should be enough to exchange for the things you need, right?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded before he said to Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian, “Brother Hai Chuan, Brother Yan Nian, I think I have more than enough war points in my hands now. I’ll return the remaining war points to both of you after I exchange for the things I need.”

Duan Ling Tian knew the duo was not lacking in war points, but he did not want to take advantage of them.

As expected, Xue Hai Chuan shook his head and said with a smile, “There’s no rush. You can return the war points when you’re done exchanging for everything that you need…”

Dongfang Yan Nian chimed in, “That’s right.”

Unlike Xue Hai Chuan, Duan Ling Tian owed Dongfang Yan Nian very few war points. Hence, he felt that it was not necessary for Duan Ling Tian to return the war points to him. However, knowing Duan Ling Tian, he knew Duan Ling Tian would not accept it if he told Duan Ling Tian that there was no need to return the war points to him.

“Alright. I’ll return them to both of you when I’m done,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. Then, he looked at Dongfang Yan Nian and said, “However, I think I’ll have enough leftover to repay Brother Yan Nian…”

“Let’s talk about this later,” Dongfang Yan Nian said with a smile, “Hurry up and go exchange for the things you need first.”

Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian followed Duan Ling Tian, curious about the things Duan Ling Tian needed that cost such a huge number of war points. After a while, they discovered that most of the things Duan Ling Tian exchanged for were medicinal herbs. He only spent very few war points on things such as Floating Image Pearls and things that will help with his comprehension of the law of space.

The duo exchanged a look, thinking that Duan Ling Tian’s achievements did not come by luck but through hard work.

At this time, Dongfang Yan Nian suddenly smiled and said, “Little Tian, don’t rush to pay me back. I saw something rare and valuable in the Hall of Wonders. Perhaps, you’d be interested in it.”

“What is it?” Duan Ling Tian was intrigued.

“Do you know the Destruction Divine Shuttle?” Dongfang Yan Nian asked.

“The Destruction Divine Shuttle?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in surprise as he asked, “Brother Yan Nian, you’re saying there’s a Destruction Divine Shuttle in the Hall of Wonders?”

Dongfang Yan Nian said with a grin, “That’s right. Since you know about the Destruction Divine Shuttle, I guess there’s no need for me to explain its uses to us…”

Duan Ling Tian inhaled deeply; he could barely contain his excitement.

The Destruction Divine Shuttle could travel to mundane realms and Devata Realms from the Realms of Gods. The artifact was a one-time use artifact. It could only be forged using the energy of a supreme powerhouse. A drop of energy from a supreme powerhouse could forge at least 10 Destruction Divine Shuttles depending on the skill of the smiths.

Under normal circumstances, those from the Realms of Gods would travel to Devata Realms and mundane realms through spatial passages. However, the spatial passages were now closed and would only reopen after about 300 years. Hence, the only way for them to travel to the lower realms, which were the mundane realms and the Devata Realm, was through the Destruction Divine Shuttle.

In the past, Duan Ling Tian had come to the Realm of Gods using an unconventional method. He had torn the space barrier in the Nine Serenities Battlefield and came to the Realm of Gods’ Realm Battlefield before he arrived at the Realm of Gods. However, now that his cultivation base had improved, even if the Five Divine Elements were capable of bringing him back using the same way he came, it would not be possible since he could no longer enter the Nine Serenities Battlefield that was only for Celestial Emperors.

“There’s a Destruction Divine Shuttle here? How many war points does it cost?”

Dongfang Yan Nian was slightly puzzled when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s excitement. He had brought the matter up, thinking that the Destruction Divine Shuttle would be useful since it could help Duan Ling Tian return to the Devata Realm to visit his family and friends. However, he did not expect this level of excitement from Duan Ling Tian.

Dongfang Yan Nian replied, “I’m not sure since I didn’t pay much attention to it. However, I don’t think it costs much. Your remaining war points should be enough to exchange for it.”

Dongfang Yan Nian did not waste time and led Duan Ling Tian to the Hall of Wonders immediately.

Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian saw the Destruction Divine Shuttle. It was a black thorny-looking object with intricate patterns carved on its surface. Soon enough, a frown appeared on his face when he saw the price. He muttered, “I’m short of 100 war points…”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yan Nian smiled and said, “Don’t worry. It’s not much. I’ll lend them to you.”

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself excitedly, ‘I can return to the Devata Realm with the Destruction Divine Shuttle! However, since I can only use it for a one-way trip, I won’t be able to return with my true body. I can only send my doppelganger back.’

Duan Ling Tian had been in the Profound Energy Land for decades now. Regardless of the time he spent here, he had always felt like an outsider. Naturally, he was excited about returning home.

Xue Hai Chuan could also see Duan Ling Tian’s excitement. He asked curiously, “Little Tian, are you planning to return immediately?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. Although the time he spent in the Profound Energy Land was not long, he had felt lonely. It felt even lonelier than spending 1,000 years in closed-door cultivation. He wanted to visit his family members and find out if his master had returned from the Asura Hell.

“Are you going to return using your doppelganger or your true body?” Xue Hai Chuan asked before he said, “You can’t return using your true body since you only have one Destruction Divine Shuttle. Otherwise, you’d have to wait for 300 years for the spatial passages to reopen before you can return. 300 years aren’t long, but it’s enough to affect your cultivation if you stay in the Devata Realm. The cultivation environment in Devata Realms is very poor, after all. It’s best if you send your doppelganger back. With your current cultivation alone, just your doppelganger alone can conquer the Devata Realms…”

“That’s what I thought as well,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. He knew that with his current cultivation base, his law of space’s doppelganger was strong enough to kill an ordinary rudimentary Lords of Gods without much effort on his part. With such strength, he would be invincible in the Devata Realms and mundane realms. In his opinion, there were gods and Kings of Gods living in the Devata Realms, but he was sure there was no Lord of Gods. However, he knew there might be Lords of Gods in the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms.

Before coming to the Profound Energy Land, Duan Ling Tian knew there were many strong powerhouses, including Lords of Gods, in the seven deadliest places. However, he was not sure it included Emperors of Gods. Based on his master’s speculation, he had said it was likely that there were Emperors of Gods as well.

After exchanging for the Destruction Divine Shuttle, Duan Ling Tian could no longer contain his excitement. He could finally see his family, and help them.

‘I can return to the Devata Realm now!’

Before leaving the Devata Realm, Duan Ling Tian had hid his family from the Title Temple and the Phantom Clan. Now, he could finally help his family when he returned again. This was one of the biggest reasons why he was so excited to return. This was also why Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian could not understand Duan Ling Tian’s excitement. They were not privy to this matter, after all.

After leaving the Imperial War Realm, Dongfang Yan Nian hurriedly bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and Xue Hai Chuan. Following that, Duan Ling Tian and Xue Hai Chuan returned to Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground.

As soon as they arrived at Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground, Duan Ling Tian hastily excused himself and returned to his room. He wasted no time in manifesting his law of space’s doppelganger before he used the Destruction Divine Shuttle and sent it out of the Realm of Gods.
