War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The crowd did not have time to think as they watched Gu Long charge toward Duan Ling Tian like a bolt of lightning.

“Gu Long’s a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage!” Many disciples from the Black Turtle Sanctum were able to tell Gu Long’s cultivation base.

“The peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage? Duan Ling Tian seems to only be at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage… Although he has mastered extraordinary Divine Abilities, how can his strength compare to a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage?”

“If the elders don’t intervene, Duan Ling Tian will surely die!”

“With Gu Long’s strength, it would be very easy for him to kill Duan Ling Tian quickly… Even if the elders rush over, I’m afraid they won’t be able to arrive in time.”

“Duan Ling Tian’s going to die in vain! Gu Long has a blue Innate Spiritual Root. Even if he violates the sect’s rules, he won’t be seriously punished!”

“Of course! There are less than 100 geniuses in the Fire Worship Sect who have blue Innate Spiritual Roots. Someone like that is obviously worth nurturing. How can they kill him for the sake of a disciple who only has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root?”

As the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples whispered among themselves, they looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of pity in their eyes.

Swish!

Perhaps, Gu Long was afraid the elders would rush over and stop him so he instantly consolidated his Territory.

A Territory consolidated from Saint Energy was naturally superior to a Territory consolidated from True Origin.

A piercing aura appeared the moment Gu Long’s Territory was consolidated. Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see various images in his Territory.

There were various images of sabers in the Territory. Some were stuck on the ground and some were floating in the air. There were long and short sabers. Some of them were new and some of them were old.

It looked like a mountain of sabers.

This was Gu Long’s Thousand Sabers Territory!

“This Territory is slightly similar to my 10,000 Swords Territory… I’m 100% certain now that Gu Long is only a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage!” The Sun Saint Energy in Duan Ling Tian’s body began to circulate as he prepared to cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, when he saw Gu Long charging at him.

If Duan Ling Tian did not use the Elementary Devouring Tactic, he was not Gu Long’s match at all! After all, his current cultivation base was only at the Early Divine Saint Stage. Even if the Sun Saint Energy was extraordinary, his strength was only equivalent to an Early Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.

Compared to Gu Long who was at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, he was indeed inferior.

The gap between him and Gu Long could only be filled by the Elementary Devouring Tactic.

‘However, I must end this quickly. If those Black Turtle Sanctum’s elders come here, I won’t be able to kill him. I must kill him before the elders arrive!’ The moment Duan Ling Tian thought of this, he immediately cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic using the Sun Saint Energy.

At once, the air around Duan Ling Tian began to stir as whirlpools began to appear. The force from the whirlpools was extremely strong. To be more precise, it was the force of the Elementary Devouring Tactic!

The moment he cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy around him surged into his body at a ridiculously fast speed.

“This is the Divine Ability you used to overpower my brother? You’ll find out soon enough that it’s futile to struggle when faced with my strength!” Gu Long only smiled disdainfully when he saw Duan Ling Tian casting the Elementary Devouring Tactic.

Duan Ling Tian was just an Early Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator! On the other hand, he was a powerhouse at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage!

Leaving aside the fact that the Divine Ability Duan Ling Tian mastered might not even be a high-grade Divine Ability, even if it was, it would still be useless when faced with a stronger opponent.

After all, even high-grade Divine Abilities relied on its user’s strength. If the user was weak, the power of the Divine Ability would naturally be weak as well. For this reason, Gu Long did not fear the Elementary Devouring Tactic that Duan Ling Tian had cast.

“Duan Ling Tian, remember this when you’re in the other world. The person who kills you is me, Gu Long!” Gu Long said loudly under the watchful eyes of the others as he unleashed the Saint Energy in his body without any reservation.

His speed instantly increased. At the same time, the Hundred Inscriptions Spirit Saber in his hand had also transformed into a light that moved around him in an orderly manner. The speed of the light turned faster as time passed.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see that whenever the Hundred Inscriptions Spirit Saber moved around Gu Long, the force of the saber would rise higher.

In the end, the Hundred Inscriptions Spirit Saber was filled to the brim with explosive energy.

“This… This seems to be the Divine Ability, the Nine Heaps Spirit Infusion!” A Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple recognized the Divine Ability that Gu Long had cast.

“The Nine Heaps Spirit Infusion? I’ve heard of it before. It’s a medium-grade Divine Ability! However, it’s said that this medium-grade Divine Ability could be considered as the top medium-grade Divine Abilities. It’s almost as powerful as a high-grade Divine Ability!”

“Gu Long has almost fully mastered the Nine Heaps Spirit Infusion. He has already reached the Eighth Heaps stage!”

“His innate talent is high and so is his comprehension ability. He’s really a rare genius!”

Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples praised Gu Long.

The Nine Heaps Spirit Infusion was a medium-grade Divine Ability that infused nine layers of energy into a Saint Weapon.

Currently, one could see that Gu Long’s Hundred Inscriptions Spirit Saber had eight layers of energy on it. It was none other than the Eight Heaps Energies. It was only a step away from the Nine Heaps Energies.

“A powerhouse at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage cast the Nine Heaps Spirit Infusion to deal with an Early Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. It seems like Gu Long’s worried the elders will intervene, and he wants to kill Duan Ling Tian as fast as he can!”

“Although the Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian cast is extraordinary and hard to understand, his cultivation base is too low. Even if it’s a high-grade Divine Ability, he’s not a match for Gu Long’!”

“That’s right! His cultivation base is only at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage!”

Nobody thought highly of Duan Ling Tian. All of them were certain he was going to die!

However, based on their words, they seemed to think Duan Ling Tian was an Early Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. What would their expressions be like if they knew Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was only at the Early Divine Saint Stage.

They were unaware that the Divine Ability Duan Ling Tian had cast was not just a high-grade Divine Ability. It could be considered as a heaven-defying high-grade Divine Ability.

The Elementary Devouring Tactic devoured all types of energies in one’s surroundings in a short time.

Although Duan Ling Tian had not mastered the Elementary Devouring Tactic as well as the old man he encountered in the Divine Ability Relic, he was close to reaching the old man’s level.

Currently, with his Sun Saint Energy that was equivalent to an Early Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse’s Saint Energy, he could raise his strength to the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage after he devoured the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings.

That was merely a step away from Gu Long who was at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage!

“What a powerful energy!” As Gu Long drew closer to Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian finally finished absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings and raised the force of his Sun Saint Energy to the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian felt as though he was going to explode from the energy in his body. This was his first time experiencing such power!

“This is…” The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples were shocked when they sensed the change in the aura that was surging out of Duan Ling Tian’s body.

“This Saint Energy feels like it belongs to someone at the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage, right?”

“It doesn’t seem like the Saint Energy of someone at the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage, but its strength is certainly similar!”

“My goodness! What Divine Ability did Duan Ling Tian cast that can raise his strength two levels higher?!”

“The Divine Ability he cast must be an assist-type Divine Ability! It’s slightly similar to the assist-type Divine Ability in the Azure Dragon Sanctum that’s derived from the dragon clan’s inherited Divine Ability, the True Form Beserkfication. I think it won’t last long, and there’ll be a huge aftereffect!”

“This rise in strength won’t last long. After a while, not only will he return to normal, but he would be in a weakened state as well!”

Many people could tell Duan Ling Tian had cast an assist-type Divine Ability that could raise one’s strength in a short time. It seems like his Divine Ability is somewhat similar to the Divine Ability in the Azure Dragon Sanctum.

Due to the reason that the assist-type Divine Ability in the Azure Dragon Sanctum had a great aftereffect, all the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples unanimously concluded that Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Ability would have a great aftereffect as well.

“Assist-type Divine Ability that can raise his strength to the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage in a short time?” Gu Long had a disdainful expression on his face.

So what if Duan Ling Tian had raised his strength to the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage?

He was a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage!

“Die!” Gu Long snarled loudly. Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples with lower cultivation base felt as though their eardrums were going to burst.

Meanwhile, the thousands of sabers in Gu Long’s Territory flew toward Duan Ling Tian along with his Hundred Inscriptions Spirit Saber that had been strengthened by the Divine Ability, the Nine Heaps Spirit Infusion.

It was like a shower of sabers, only it did not fall vertically. It moved horizontally instead.

Other than Gu Long’s Hundred Inscriptions Spirit Saber and the thousands of sabers in his Territory, his Hundred Inscriptions Spirit Saber also released a saber ray.

This was none other than the saber-type martial tactic that Gu Long had mastered!
