War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

When Ling Jue Yun and Tang San Pao exchanged a look, they saw the shock in each other’s eyes. They did not expect Feng Qing Yang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, to arrange for Duan Ling Tian to fight both of them at the same time even with the condition that Xu Kong Hai, the Vice Temple Master of the main Title Temple, had added.

Tang San Pao said through Voice Transmission, “Ling Jue Yun, it seems like Duan Ling Tian is much stronger than we think.”

Ling Jue Yun did not respond to Tang San Pao. Instead, his eyes gleamed as he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian who was sitting in the spectator seat. Following that, he wordlessly took a few medicinal pills to recover his Celestial Origin Energy before he sat cross-legged in the air.

Tang San Pao followed suit as well.

Since Feng Qing Yang had agreed to Xu Kong Hai’s condition, there was nothing they could do unless they surrendered. All the duo could do now was to join forces to defeat Duan Ling Tian to prove Feng Qing Yang wrong. Naturally, they knew that there must be a reason why Feng Qing Yang had readily agreed to Xu Kong Hai’s condition; Feng Qing Yang had to be very confident about Duan Ling Tian’s strength.

At this moment, despite being expressionless, Ling Jue Yun was thoroughly shocked. Since he parted ways with Duan Ling Tian in the past, he had been diligently cultivating with the resources he obtained from the Realm of Gods. Moreover, he had several fortuitous encounters as well. For these reasons, he had been sure he had grown stronger than Duan Ling Tian. His spirit was not dampened at all even when Duan Ling Tian revealed the strength of a Six Star God of War. He was still confident that Duan Ling Tian was weaker than him. However, after listening to Feng Qing Yang’s words, he was almost certain that Duan Ling Tian had to be stronger than him.

After all, Feng Qing Yang was not only the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, but he was also a god. There was no doubt that he had a good grasp of Tang San Pao and Ling Jue Yun’s strength after watching their battle. Nevertheless, he still confidently arranged for Duan Ling Tian to face the duo at the same time; this proved that he believed Duan Ling Tian was capable of defeating the duo.

At the same time, Xu Kong Hai hid the shock in his heart and said, “In that case, they’ll face Duan Ling Tian after they recover their energy.”

When the spectators regained their senses, Feng Qing Yang had already returned to his seat next to Ding Fu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven. The shock they experienced at this moment could not be described by words.

“Heavens! The legendary Heavenly Emperor agreed to the condition?”

“Not being able to use external tools doesn’t only apply to Celestial Weapons… It means they can’t use anything apart from their own strength to fight. Otherwise, they’d be disqualified.”

“Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang seems very confident about his disciple’s strength…”

“If he’s so confident, it’s likely that Duan Ling Tian is truly capable of facing Tang San Pao and Ling Jue Yun at once.”

The young geniuses shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian in unison only to see him remaining calm and expressionless.

Before Feng Qing Yang stepped forward, he had already sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian, informing Duan Ling Tian of his intention to bring Duan Ling Tian to the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms. He had discovered a place in the Asura Hell that was similar to the Title Temple’s chamber of laws. However, one could only comprehend the law of time there. That place was also where Feng Qing Yang’s physical body was currently at.

Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he heard Feng Qing Yang’s message. Although he could comprehend the law of time’s profundities in that place, he would have to rely on himself to comprehend and fuse the profundities. This was a rather difficult task for gods, let alone titled Celestial Emperors. For gods and celestials alike, the comprehension of the laws would determine their strength if their cultivation bases were the same.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian was pulled back to his sense when Su Li sent him a Voice Transmission.

“Duan Ling Tian, are you confident?”

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

Su Li’s eyes lit up upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply. Then, he said with a wry smile, “I thought my cultivation base should be close to yours even if it’s not higher… Alas, you’re still so far ahead of me…”

At the same time, Zhang Tian You, Wang Ting, and He Jian Yi who were seated behind Duan Ling Tian looked at Duan Ling Tian incredulously. They felt incredibly embarrassed for having underestimated Duan Ling Tian so much in the past.

While the crowd waited for Tang San Pao and Ling Jue Yun to recover their energy, they discussed fervently among themselves. Although they had to wait a while for the match to start, they knew the match was definitely worth the wait.

Similarly, the Heavenly Emperors and the high-ranking officials of the Title Temple were discussing among themselves as well.

“Do you think Duan Ling Tian stands a chance of winning?”

“Based on Heavenly Emperor Feng’s confidence, I think it’s possible that Duan Ling Tian is strong enough to defeat Tang San Pao and Ling Jue Yun…”

“That’s not necessarily the case. It’s possible that Heavenly Emperor is trying to test his disciple…”

“Whatever it is, it seems like Duan Ling Tian is stronger than Ling Jue Yun and Tang San Pao. However, it remains to be seen if he can defeat them if they join forces. We’ll have to wait and see…”

The crowd was divided in their opinions. Some felt that Duan Ling Tian was capable of defeating Ling Jue Yun and Tang San Pao even if they joined forces while some felt it was impossible. They were also some who thought Feng Qing Yang was only testing Duan Ling Tian’s strength by making him face two opponents at once. Regardless, these were only speculations. All of them could only wait and see.

The crowd waited patiently for the highly anticipated match to start for roughly an hour before Ling Jue Yun opened his eyes. He rose to his feet and said, “I’ve recovered my energy and am ready to fight.”

Before Xu Kong Hai could respond, Tang San Pao opened his eyes and rose to his feet as well. “I’m ready as well.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up immediately when the duo declared they were ready to fight.

Swoosh!

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian flew into the battle ring under everyone’s watchful eyes. He remained calm even with everyone’s attention on him.

Meanwhile, Ding Fu asked, “Brother Feng, you seem very confident about Junior Nephew Duan’s strength. Do you really think he’ll win?”

Feng Qing Yang replied, “I think so.”

“You… think so? What do you mean?” Ding Fu was taken aback by Feng Qing Yang’s reply.

In the blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian stepped out into the air and entered the battle ring. He had become the main focus instantaneously as all eyes were shifted on him. However, Duan Ling Tian remained calm and expressionless even though he was the center of attention.

Feng Qing Yang looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “My disciple is strong, but I have no idea how strong he is.”

Ding Fu and Wei Qi were rendered speechless by these words while Meng Luo who was standing behind Feng Qing Yang was expressionless since he was already aware of this.

Back in the battle ring, Duan Ling Tian stood across from Ling Jue Yun and Tang San Pao.

“Duan Ling Tian,” Tang San Pao smiled wryly as he said, “It seems like I’ve underestimated you… I’d like to find out how big the difference between our strength is…”

Based on these words, it was clear Tang Sang Pao thought Duan Ling Tian was stronger than him. Just like everyone else, he came to this conclusion based on Feng Qing Yang’s confidence. When he first approached Duan Ling Tian, he had mentioned Feng Qing Yang was his idol. It was only natural that he did not doubt his idol.

At this time, Xu Kong Hai looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, during this match, apart from not being allowed to use external tools, I have to remind you that if you lose this match, you won’t be able to challenge Tang San Pao and Ling Jue Yun again individually even if you’re stronger than them. Do you understand?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. He naturally knew about this.

“In that case, let’s begin.”

The eyes of the crowd brightened as Xu Kong Hai’s voice fell. Their eyes were fixed on the trio; they did not want to miss even the smallest detail of this exciting match.
