War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“A divine being! He’s a divine being!”

An old man pushed his way to the front before kneeling in front of Duan Ling Tian.

“The Chief of the Primordial Ridge Village greets the divine being!”

Duan Ling Tian looked at the old man in confusion. However, after the old man kneeled down and greeted him, it did not take long for him to figure out that the old man must have mistaken him for a god that descended from heaven.

The old man turned back to look at the villagers and said hastily, “Everyone, why aren’t you greeting the divine being? This merciful divine being will help our Primordial Ridge Village to get rid of the bandits with just a wave of his hand!”

Following that, all of the villagers standing at the back, including the children, fell to their knees and kowtowed at Duan Ling Tian one after another.

“Merciful divine being, please help us to get rid of the bandits!”

“Divine being, please have mercy on us!”

“Divine being, if you’re willing to help us get rid of the bandits, I’m willing to become your slave!”

“Please rise,” Duan Ling Tian said with a frown as he waved his hand.

A wave of energy surged out and lifted the villagers to their feet. When they tried to kneel again, they found that they were unable to do so. Apart from the chief of the village, the others were shocked by this discovery.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness to probe the villagers. He found that the strongest among them was only as strong as an ordinary martial artist from the Saint Province Realm.

‘Such place and people actually exist in Destiny Canyon?’

Duan Ling Tian was speechless and puzzled. He wondered why he ended up in such a place. Nonetheless, he still spoke to the chief of the village patiently, asking the chief about the location of the bandits and the way out of the village.

“My lord, the base of the bandits is on the main road. They blocked our path, preventing us from leaving. They would rob us of our things and crops during harvest season.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll get rid of them on my way out,” Duan Ling Tian said. He did not waste time and made his way to the main road. At the same time, he thought to himself, ‘This place is really strange. Not only is flight prohibited, but my Divine Consciousness is restricted to a small area…’

Duan Ling Tian came and left like the wind, leaving the villagers confused.

Finally, one of the villagers asked, “Chief, is the divine being really going to help us get rid of the bandits?”

The chief replied confidently, “Yes. In the legends, the divine beings always keep their promises. I believe he’ll keep his promise!”

However, despite his words, he felt uneasy inwardly.

“Chief, that divine being is very strong but… is he really capable of getting rid of the bandits?”

“Didn’t you see how powerful he was? Those bandits aren’t a match for him!”

…

Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of the villager’s discussion after he left. When he was a distance away from the village, he began to travel in huge leaps, saving him a lot of time compared to walking. In just a moment, he saw buildings on both sides of a road in the distance. Smoke rose from the buildings and voices rang in the air. It seemed as though the people were drinking and sparring happily.

Duan Ling Tian was just about to move again when two bandits appeared to stop him.

The two bandits stared at Duan Ling Tian fiercely like predators looking at their prey.

“No one is allowed to leave! Return to your village or die!”

Duan Ling Tian remained silent as he raised his hand and killed one of the two bandits. After that, he looked at the remaining survivor.

The bandit regained his senses before he cried out, “We’re under attack!”

The commotion from the various buildings at the sides of the road suddenly stopped as the bandit’s voice echoed in the air. Following that, figures began to fly out of their buildings. In just a moment, there were at least 100 people surrounding Duan Ling Tian.

However, before the bandits could make a move, Duan Ling Tian raised his hand to the sky. A terrifying energy surged out, covering the sun in the sky. Following that, countless grey sword rays fell like torrential rain.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

All of the bandits, except for the one who sounded the alarm, died. He fell to the ground in shock, staring at Duan Ling Tian fearfully as though Duan Ling Tian was the devil himself. He did not expect the gentle-looking young man to be so cruel. Moreover, the young man’s strength was beyond his imagination; it was comparable to the legendary divine beings!

Duan Ling Tian looked at the bandit and asked, “Is there anyone left? Bring me to them, and I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll kill you.”

“Yes, yes! There’s another group,” the bandit replied hastily, “Our second leader led a group of brothers to the village to collect the tributes…”

The bandit did not hesitate as he led Duan Ling Tian away. When they arrived at a junction, they ran into the group of bandits that he had mentioned.

Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian killed the group of bandits, including the one who led him here.

After killing the last bandit, Duan Ling Tian saw a weak beam of light shining down on him. The beam of light was so weak that it hardly had any effect on him. Following that, he glanced at the ranking and discovered that he had obtained one point.

‘All those bandits are only worth one point?! How on earth did Fourth Senior Sister manage to gain100 points so soon after entering Destiny Canyon?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly as he shifted his eyes to the top of the ranking.

Lang Chun Yuan’s name still sat at the top. However, instead of 100 points, she now had 260 points.

On the other hand, the person ranked second had accumulated 83 points.

‘How did Fourth Senior Sister accumulate so many points?’ Duan Ling Tian sighed when he saw the difference between his and Lang Chun Yuan’s points.

‘I bet Fourth Senior Sister will laugh at me when she sees my points!’

Duan Ling Tian felt both annoyed and helpless at the same time.

…

At the same time, in a spacious cave…

A young woman paced back and forth. A strange expression could be seen on her face as she muttered, “Only one point? Junior brother only managed to obtain one point after so long? Was he transported to a remote place with no people?”

The young woman was none other than Lang Chun Yuan.

Lang Chun Yuan was transported into a secret realm in Destiny Canyon as soon as she entered. Coincidentally, a group of people was fighting over a fortuitous encounter. Among the group of people, the two strongest were advanced Emperors of Gods. After killing all of them, she gained 260 points. Killing the two advanced Emperors of Gods gave her 200 points while killing the intermediate Emperors of Gods gave her 60 points.

“What’s the point of fighting over this shabby secret realm? Nonetheless, I wouldn’t have been able to kill them if they weren’t fighting over the secret realm…” Lang Chun Yuan muttered under her breath as she claimed the treasure that appeared in the secret realm before leaving.

As she continued to search for fortuitous encounters in Destiny Canyon, she wondered out loud, “I wonder where junior brother is now… What a pity… If I knew his location, I’d be able to bring him with me…”

…

Duan Ling Tian spent a day and a night in the mountains before he finally left the area where flying was prohibited. During that time, he killed a few more groups of bandits.

At this time, he hovered in the air and looked at the mountain range sighing inwardly. He still could not believe he was transported to a place populated by ordinary folks where flying was prohibited.

‘It doesn’t make sense… Why is flying prohibited in this remote place? Is there a secret hidden somewhere? However, I didn’t discover anything on my way out…’

Although Duan Ling Tian felt that something was amiss, he was reluctant to return to the mountain range. After all, even if the mountain range hid an extraordinary secret, there was no guarantee that he would discover it.

‘I should wander around and find out more about this place…’

…

Just like Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan, the participants from the various Divine Kingdoms were randomly transported to various places in Destiny Canyon. Some of them were lucky like Lang Chun Yuan and encountered people weaker than time. However, unlike Lang Chun Yuan who had encountered a few advanced Emperors of Gods, they only encountered intermediate Emperors of Gods. For this reason, Lang Chun Yuan was the only one who accumulated more than 100 points for now.
