War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
chapter-2489

2489 Worthless Celestial Supreme Treasure “Huh? This…” The patriarch of the dragon clan was taken aback. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would surrender the Celestial Supreme Treasure so easily without putting up a fight. This caused him to feel skeptical.

The patriarch of the dragon clan had threatened Duan Ling Tian in such a way because he believed Duan Ling Tian would ascend to a Devata Realm before him. Once Duan Ling Tian had ascended, the Seven Absolutes Sect would lose its backbone. At that time, the sect would be like a fish on a chopping board to him. Although he knew the threat would be effective, he truly did not expect Duan Ling Tian to give in to his demand so easily. He was in a daze over this development. After a while, he finally said, “Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t take you to be such a sensible person.” A mocking smile appeared on his face as he gripped the Celestial Sword that Duan Ling Tian had tossed over. “However, didn’t it cross your mind that without the Celestial Supreme Treasure, your strength is now greatly reduced? Currently, your strength is probably on par with an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at most.”

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as soon as he heard the words of the patriarch of the dragon clan. “What? Is the patriarch of the dragon clan going to go back on his words? You’re going to attack me after I’ve given you the Celestial Supreme Treasure?”

“You’re clever!” The patriarch’s eyes gleamed viciously as he said, “It would spell disaster for the dragon clan if I spare your life. You must die today. You can only blame yourself for being naive. You should’ve made me swear on the lightning penalty oath before surrendering the Celestial Sword. You cut off your own path of retreat so you can’t blame me for this.” His voice was laden with killing intent when he spoke.

When the patriarch of the dragon clan finished talking, many of the members of the dragon clan burst into laughter.

“Duan Ling Tian has brought about his own destruction!”

“To think the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect would be so careless. He actually surrendered the Celestial Supreme Treasure without making the patriarch swear on the lightning penalty oath.”

“Is this really okay? I mean, Lord Patriarch did promise to let the matter go as long as Duan Ling Tian surrenders the Celestial Supreme Treasure.”

There were some members of the dragon clan who found their patriarch’s action inappropriate. They frowned in disapproval when they saw the patriarch going back on his words.

Someone said with a snicker, “Well, Lord Patriarch said that he wouldn’t annihilate the Seven Absolutes Sect if he hands the Celestial Sword over. Lord Patriarch didn’t say anything about not killing Duan Ling Tian!”

“Well… You’re right.”

“I guess the patriarch didn’t go back on his words.”

“Yes, as long as Lord Patriarch doesn’t annihilate the Seven Absolutes Sect, he wouldn’t be going back on his words.”

After discussing it among themselves, all of the members of the dragon clan were convinced their patriarch did not go back on his words. They only felt that Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect, was too foolish and naive for not making their patriarch swear on the lightning penalty oath. They felt that Duan Ling Tian had caused his own downfall and only had himself to blame.

At this moment, the members of the dragon clan looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was a dead man walking. They did not think Duan Ling Tian would survive without his Celestial Supreme Treasure. After all, they knew a Celestial Supreme Treasure could raise one’s strength tremendously.

“Now that Duan Ling Tian has lost the Celestial Supreme Treasure, he’s definitely not as strong as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… Even without using the Celestial Supreme Treasure, I’m certain it would be easy for Lord Patriarch to kill Duan Ling Tian now.”

“You’re right. They were evenly matched earlier. However, now that Duan Ling Tian has lost the Celestial Supreme Treasure, he’s certainly not a match for Lord Patriarch.”

“It seems like the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect will fall in our dragon clan today!”

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian asked calmly, “So are you going to kill me now?” Even now, he showed no signs of being anxious.

“Of course!” The patriarch said with certainty, “You can only blame yourself for being too stupid for not making me swear on the lightning penalty oath after obtaining the Celestial Supreme Treasure.” Although he was slightly puzzled by Duan Ling Tian’s calmness, he did not think too much into it. After all, he was convinced that Duan Ling Tian was not a threat without the Celestial Supreme Treasure. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was completely at his mercy like a fish on a chopping board.

Duan Ling Tian continued to ask nonchalantly, “Well, will you keep your promise of leaving the Seven Absolutes Sect alone?”

The patriarch of the dragon clan was stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would still think about his sect members even when he was on the brink of death. He said, “You can rest assured that I’ll keep my promise. Since you surrendered the Celestial Supreme Treasure, I won’t harm the Seven Absolutes Sect.”

Upon hearing this, the members from the dragon clan who were more righteous sighed in relief. They were genuinely worried their patriarch would go back on his words and attack the Seven Absolutes Sect.

“Good… Very good.” A brilliant smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face as soon as he heard the patriarch’s words. “Because of these words, I’ll leave the dragon clan alone after you die.”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. His words were just too shocking. It took a while before the crowd broke into an uproar.

“Has Duan Ling Tian gone mad?”

“What nonsense is he spouting? He has already surrendered the Celestial Supreme Treasure, does he still think he has a chance to kill Lord Patriarch?”

“Even before he surrendered his Celestial Supreme Treasure, he was only evenly matched with the patriarch. Now that he has lost his treasure, how could he speak so audaciously? Is he mad?”

“I really wonder where he gets his courage from?”

All of the members of the dragon clan thought Duan Ling Tian was delusional.

Meanwhile, the patriarch of the dragon clan laughed when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. It took a while before his laughter finally subsided. He said scornfully, “Duan Ling Tian! I don’t know where you get your courage from, to say something like this even after losing your Celestial Supreme Treasure. After I die you’ll leave the dragon clan alone? I’d like to see how you’re going to kill me without a Celestial Supreme Treasure.”

“Without a Celestial Supreme Treasure?” Duan Ling Tian smiled sardonically when he heard the patriarch’s words and saw the mocking looks from the members of the dragon clan. He raised his arm as another sword appeared in his hand. The sword burst into a blinding light as soon as he sent his energy into it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the sword rays ebbed and flowed, waves of powerful energy spread outward. The energy was comparable to the energy Duan Ling Tian had unleashed earlier with the Celestial Sword.

The members of the dragon clan felt the energy, and their expressions changed drastically. Even the patriarch’s expression was frozen.

“What’s this?”

“A…another Celestial Supreme Treasure?”

The two Supreme Elders exchanged a glance and saw the incredulity and awe in each other’s eyes. They did not expect that Duan Ling Tian would possess another Celestial Supreme Treasure! Why did it seem like Celestial Supreme Treasures were worthless?

“That’s a… Celestial Supreme Treasure?”

“I… I think so.”

“Good heavens! How many Celestial Supreme Treasures does Duan Ling Tian own?”

“Is that a legendary Celestial Supreme Treasure? Since when have Celestial Supreme Treasures become so abundant and worthless?”

The members of the dragon clan were shocked when they saw Duan Ling Tian producing another Celestial Supreme Treasure. They did not imagine this would happen even in their wildest dreams.

At this moment, the patriarch from the dragon clan finally recovered from the shock of seeing Duan Ling Tian producing another Celestial Supreme Treasure. “I didn’t expect you to have a second Celestial Supreme Treasure, Duan Ling Tian.” However, he did not seem frightened. In fact, a look of greed could be seen in his eyes again. “However, do you think you’ll be able to kill me just because you have a Celestial Supreme Treasure? Don’t forget, I have one as well now. We were evenly matched earlier because I didn’t have a Celestial Supreme Treasure. Now that I have one, it won’t be difficult for me to kill you! Today will be the day you offer up Celestial Supreme Treasures to the dragon clan!” His voice was filled with confidence when he spoke.

Upon hearing this, the two Supreme Elders’ eyes brightened and their breathing quickened. If the dragon clan obtained another Celestial Supreme Treasure, there was no doubt one of them would be given the Celestial Supreme Treasure.
