War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
chapter-1861

Rumble!

Rumble!

A loud noise echoed in the air, it seemed as though the sky was being blown apart. As it turned out, it was due to the flapping of the Golden Crow’s Wings behind Duan Ling Tian’s back. It set off a flurry of hurricanes, causing explosions in the air.

During the uproar, before anyone knew what was going on, Leader Dugu, Mansion Master Duan Ru Feng, and Clan Leader Di Shan had various expressions fleeting across their faces.

Dugu’s expression was a knowing one as though he had already expected this.

Duan Ru Feng’s expression was one of delight and surprise.

As for Di Shan, he had the most splendid expression on his face! It was one of extreme shock and disbelief!

Whoosh!

In the eyes of these three men, a meteor-like golden figure charged out rapidly toward Di Jue.

His speed was so fast that it was in no way inferior to Di Jue’s current speed!

Although currently Di Jue was not using his full speed, it was on par with a Martial or Dao Cultivator at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage. Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian’s speed was on par with his!

W-Was he really an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator?

“Impossible!” Whether it was Ku Mi from the Azure Cloud Mansion, the two Deputy Leaders from the Mountainshade Black Market or the few Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders from the dragon clan, all of their expressions were similar to the expression on Di Jue’s face when they regained their senses. They were filled with disbelief and confusion.

The scene unfolding before their eyes had overturned their views and knowledge of a powerhouse at the Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse!

An Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator actually possessed speed on par with a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage?

This was a joke, right?!

“It’s a Divine Ability!” Dugu, Duan Ru Feng, and Di Shan had already figured things out when Ku Mi and the others regained their senses.

The reason Duan Ling Tian possessed such fast speed was due to an extremely amazing Divine Ability.

As for the aura emitted by the energy surging out of his body, it was equivalent to the energy of a Divine Saint Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator!

With this energy, he had used the Divine Ability to give himself the speed of a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage!

This Divine Ability made a thought pop up in their minds. It’s a high-grade movement Divine Ability!

Not only that, but it seemed like Duan Ling Tian had profound knowledge of this high-grade movement Divine Ability as well. Based on how skillful he was, it was apparent that he had already mastered the quintessence of this Divine Ability! Otherwise, it would have been impossible for his speed to rise so quickly.

“Otherworldly Celestial!” With the help from Golden Crow’s Wings, Duan Ling Tian quickly arrived near Di Jue.

When Di Jue regained his senses, and horror dawned on his face, Duan Ling Tian’s body suddenly moved.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the next instant, two solidified figures that were identical to Duan Ling Tian had appeared on either side of him. Not only that, but they also possessed a pair of Golden Crow’s Wings as well and were holding a Ten Inscription Saint Sword in their hands respectively.

This was a technique of the high-grade sword-type Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial!

Ever since he first mastered the Elementary Devouring Tactic, he had tried to master the Otherworldly Celestial. Initially, he did not expect much. However, as it turned out, he managed to successfully comprehend the Otherworldly Celestial in a short amount of time.

Naturally, he soon discovered he was able to comprehend the Divine Ability so quickly was all thanks to the Sovereign Heart Sword.

The Sovereign Heart Sword was the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method and the sword profundity contained in it was on par, if not superior, to martial tactics!

Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian did not bother cultivating other martial tactics.

During the process of comprehending the high-grade sword-type Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, he discovered the sword profundity of the Sovereign Heart Sword had many similarities with the Otherworldly Celestial. Since they were both compatible, his process of comprehending the Otherworldly Celestial had progressed at a tremendous pace!

In the end, it had only taken him a fraction of the time he spent comprehending the Elementary Devouring Tactic to comprehend the Otherworldly Celestial.

Although he had comprehended the Otherworldly Celestial, he was only at the Rudiment Stage and could only produce two clones.

Despite the fact that the strength of the clone formed by the Otherworldly Celestial was inferior to the real person, the gap between their strength was negligible.

The Otherworldly Celestial that Duan Ling Tian cast by relying on the profundity of the Sovereign Heart Sword that was close to the third stage could cast attacks that were equivalent to an outstanding Martial Cultivator at the Mastery Divine Saint Stage.

His two clones, on the other hand, possessed strength equivalent to ordinary Martial Cultivators at the Mastery Divine Saint Stage.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The original person, two clones, and three Ten Inscription Saint Swords flashed across the sky and charged toward Di Jue accompanied by the sound of slashing.

The three swords that the three figures wielded were pointed at different directions, leaving no room for Di Jue to escape at all!

‘How is he so powerful?!’ This was the first thought that appeared in Di Jue’s mind when he saw the speed Duan Ling Tian demonstrated.

He was still in disbelief over the scene that had unfolded before his eyes!

An ant whose cultivation base was at the Saint Rudiment Stage five years ago had actually become so powerful now. He felt as though he was dreaming!

Di Jue jolted back to reality as three sharp swords were pointed at him.

‘Although I’m stronger than him, I’ve fallen into a disadvantageous position because I looked down on him from the very start! Even if I use all my strength now, I still won’t be able to gather enough strength to overpower him unless I revert into my true form!’ Di Jue’s mind whirled rapidly at this time at lightning speed.

Due to the reason he had looked down Duan Ling Tian from the start, he had only used strength that was equivalent to a Martial or Dao Cultivator at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was charging at him at a speed that was not inferior to his speed. It caught him off guard.

Under such circumstances, he did not have time to gather his strength to strike back unless he reverted to his true form!

However, if he reverted to his true form after just one strike from Duan Ling Tian, it would undoubtedly be a great humiliation to him. Due to this reason, he quickly dismissed the idea.

Whoosh!

At the critical moment, faced with Duan Ling Tian’s three swords that blocked his path, Di Jue finally took out an exceptionally heavy broad saber that also had ten Inscriptions on it. It was apparent that this was also a Ten Inscription Saint Weapon.

“Gigantesque Wallop!”

The moment the Ten Inscription Saint Saber appeared in his hand, the aura on Di Jue changed completely in an instant. His entire person seemed to have transformed into a saber that released a sharp aura.

At the same time, his energy at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage had also begun to surge out.

Naturally, in this short window of time, he had no time to gather his full strength at all. All he could do was slash his saber out at the fastest speed possible.

However, apart from being slightly weaker, the saber was extraordinary as well since it contained saber-type martial tactics that Di Jue cultivated. It was a medium-grade saber-type Divine Ability that was known as Gigantesque Wallop!

Swish!

The saber slashed out and a streak of saber ray shot out heading in the direction of Duan Ling Tian’s head as though it was going to slice him into two.

Naturally, its target was one of Duan Ling Tian’s two clones.

When Di Jue slashed his saber out, his energy at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage that was surging out of his body also gradually began to show itself as he charged toward the clone he had targeted.

Swish!

Whoosh!

A saber slashed down as a sword sliced out.

The saber slashed Duan Ling Tian’s clone into two while the sword landed on Di Jue’s shoulders, leaving a horrendous and bloody wound behind.

Swoosh!

As fresh blood splattered everywhere and fell from the sky like red roses, Di Jue’s body that was covered with blood charged to the distance at an increasing speed. He was fleeing from the attack of Duan Ling Tian and his remaining clone.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the instant Di Jue was about to escape, Duan Ling Tian discovered this. He and his clone simultaneously attacked as both their swords landed on Di Jue’s back.

However, due to Di Jue being able to use his speed at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage, the swords did not manage to seriously injure him. They merely left him with light injuries. They did not pose any threat to his life at all and did not affect his strength.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Di Jue fled several hundred meters away before he finally came to a halt.

As for Duan Ling Tian, he had already retracted his clone and was hovering with his sword in his hand in the distance.

Everything had happened in just a blink of an eye. It was so fast that most people could not see clearly at all.

However, at this moment, even those who did not see clearly could not help but gasp when they saw how one collision between Duan Ling Tian and Di Jue ended up with Duan Ling Tian unharmed and Di Jue injured.

“H-How is this possible?!” The eyes of a young member of the dragon clan turned as wide as saucers. He had an expression of disbelief on his face.

“I’m not dreaming, right?” Many members of the dragon clan pinched their thighs or slapped themselves. It was only when they felt the pain that they became certain the scene that unfolded before their eyes was not a dream. It was all real!

Duan Ling Tian had gained the upper hand during their first clash!

A young disciple from a quasi third-rate force muttered with a dumbfounded expression on his face, “Isn’t the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator? Not only that, but isn’t Di Jue an Early Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse? Can somebody please tell me what the hell is going on?!”

“Is this really a battle between an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse and an Early Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse? You’re joking, right?” Many people expressed their doubts.

Naturally, these people who felt skeptical did not clearly see the collision earlier between Duan Ling Tian and Di Jue.

Those who could see the details and those who could roughly see the details returned to their senses later than the masses. This was because they were shocked by what had just taken place.

A high-ranking official of a quasi third-rate force remarked solemnly, “The speed of the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is equivalent to a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage. His speed far surpassed ordinary Mastery Divine Saint Stage powerhouses.

“But…” As though he was reminded of something, he asked in confusion, “Can anybody tell me why his cultivation base is only at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage when I probed him? Is this even the strength of an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse?”

He was not the only confused one. Even the group of dragon clan’s high-ranking officials, including Clan Leader Di Shan, had a grim expression on their faces. This was because they had been deceived.
