War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Earlier, the patriarch of the dragon clan did not have a Celestial Supreme Treasure, and yet, he had fought to a draw with Duan Ling Tian who had a Celestial Supreme Treasure. Surely now that he had a Celestial Supreme Treasure, he would be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian easily?

"Giving Celestial Supreme Treasures to the dragon clan?" Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he heard the patriarch's words. His eyes flashed coldly as he said, "I'd like to see you try."

"I'll do just that!" The patriarch cried out as he sent his energy into the Celestial Sword and began to attack Duan Ling Tian without holding back. He intended to kill Duan Ling Tian with a single blow. He did not want to give Duan Ling Tian any chance to recover.

The patriarch was skilled in swordplay. He wielded the Celestial Sword skillfully and unleashed an attack that was comparable to the strength of a Golden Celestial.

A sword ray shot toward Duan Ling Tian from the west, seemingly capable of destroying everything in its path.

"Ten Thousand Soldiers Surrender!" Duan Ling Tian cried out. Faced with the patriarch's attempt to kill him, he had mobilized his energy and conjured a Sword Formation above his head. Soon after, a mysterious energy spread from the Sword Formation in all directions.

When the energy shrouded the patriarch of the dragon clan, he was frightened when he discovered the Celestial Sword was no longer under his control. The sword sent a shock up his arm and injured him before it flew toward the Sword Formation above Duan Ling Tian's head. It did not take long before it became part of the Formation. That was not all. The members of the dragon clan who carried their weapons with them lost their weapons as well. Their weapons seemed to have a mind of their own as they flew toward the Sword Formation before merging with it. The members of the dragon clan were, naturally, flustered by this.

"What… what's happening?"

"W-what kind of technique is this? How did he snatch our weapons away?"

"Even the patriarch's Celestial Supreme Treasure has been snatched away?!" The two Supreme Elders from the dragon clan discovered the Celestial Supreme Treasure that was in their patriarch's hand earlier had also been taken away.

The patriarch of the dragon clan froze on the spot, stunned. A frightened and bewildered expression could be seen on his face as he stared at the Formation above Duan Ling Tian's head. To be precise, he was staring at the Celestial Sword that had broken away from his grip just a moment ago.

"This… This is Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang's technique, the Ten Thousand Soldiers Surrender!" As the patriarch of the dragon clan, he was well aware of what happened 100,000 years ago. He knew that Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang had a skill that could help him gain control over all weapons in a certain area.

Although the patriarch of the dragon clan knew Feng Qing Yang had such a technique in his arsenal, he did not expect it to work on Supreme Celestial Treasures. 'This skill can also gain control over Celestial Supreme Treasures? No wonder Duan Ling Tian confidently surrendered the Celestial Supreme Treasure to me earlier. I'm certain he has foreseen all this from the get-go. He knew it would be futile even if I had the Celestial Supreme Treasure!' He was not stupid, it did not take long before realization dawned on him. For a moment, flames of fury burned in his chest. Duan Ling Tian had made a fool out of him!

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian cried out, "Have a taste of my Sword Formation!"

The patriarch of the dragon shuddered in fear. He quickly reverted to his true form and unleashed all his strength again as he collided directly with Duan Ling Tian's Sword Formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

History repeated itself.

However, there were two Celestial Supreme Treasures in Duan Ling Tian's Sword Formation. Although the powers of the two treasures could not be stacked, his attack was still greater than before. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian only suffered minor injuries while the patriarch of the dragon clan was heavily injured. Although he managed to deal a heavy blow on the patriarch of the dragon clan, as an Eight-clawed Golden Dragon, the patriarch's regenerative ability was superior compared to him. When his wounds were just beginning to heal, the patriarch had already completely recovered.

"Duan Ling Tian, I admit that I might not be able to kill you today…" The patriarch's 10,000-meters-long body coiled and hovered in the air. His huge dragon eyes stared at Duan Ling Tian intently. His voice was thunderous when he spoke, "However, it's impossible for you to kill me as well! Let's compromise. If you hand over one Celestial Supreme Treasure, the dragon clan and I will no longer be enemies of the Seven Absolutes Sect. Otherwise, I promise you that the Seven Absolutes Sect would not have a day of peace after you ascend to a Devata Realm!" It was obvious that, even at this moment, he still coveted Duan Ling Tian's Celestial Supreme Treasures.

The patriarch of the dragon clan said persuasively, "You should know, as an Eminent Celestial, you'll be forced to ascend by the Celestial Ascension Energy. On the other hand, I've just passed my ninth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation, and I've only been a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial for less than a century. I can stay in the Mundane Realm for more than nine centuries. You should think about this carefully. With only one Celestial Supreme Treasure, we can bury the hatchet." He was confident he would be able to convince Duan Ling Tian.

"You're right." Duan Ling Tian nodded. "It's indeed impossible for me to kill you…"

The patriarch of the dragon clan said hastily, "In that case, you should hand over one Celestial Supreme Treasure. It's the best for both the Seven Absolutes Sect and the dragon clan!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Duan Ling Tian sneered. "I've not finished my sentence. It's impossible for me to kill you… However, it's not an impossible feat for someone else to kill you!"

"Someone else?" The patriarch of the dragon clan was stunned. When he regained his senses, he said with a scoff, "Duan Ling Tian, don't try to fool me. Currently, in this mundane realm, nobody can kill me. However, you might stand a chance if you join forces with a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans."

Devil Clans? A Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?

Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow when he heard the words from the patriarch of the dragon clan. He was slightly taken aback. 'The Devil Clans truly have a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Aren't Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials supposed to be rare and only a few would appear in every generation? There's already a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Saint Province Realm, and now, there's another one in the Devil Clans?'

The members of the dragon clan were frightened and shocked by this news as well.

"There's a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Devil Clans as well?"

"Is this why Lord Patriarch didn't make a move when the Devil Clans invaded the Upper Province years ago even though he's a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? To think that there's a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Devil Clans as well!"

"How unexpected!"

"If Lord Patriarch joins forces with the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, it's not impossible for them to kill the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Devil Clans."

The members of the dragon clan discussed among themselves before they finally came to the conclusion that their patriarch should not feud with Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect. Instead, they should join forces to deal with their common enemy, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans, and drive the Devil Clans away.

"If you work together with that person to kill me, you and your sect will be condemned by everyone in the Saint Province Realm!" The patriarch of the dragon clan said smugly. He was certain that it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to collude with the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans. Even if Duan Ling Tian colluded with the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans and annihilated the dragon clan to keep the matter a secret, Duan Ling Tian still would not be able to stop his Minor Major Mirror Image Talisman from activating after his death. The talisman would project everything that happened to the owner of the corresponding talisman. The owner of the corresponding talisman was the phoenix clan's inner clan's patriarch! In other words, if Duan Ling Tian worked with the Devil Clans' Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial to kill him, Duan Ling Tian would not be able to keep this news under wraps. At that time, he would be condemned in this realm.

At this moment, one of the Supreme Elders of the dragon clan stepped forward. "Sect Leader Duan, our patriarch is, currently, the only Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in this realm. If you give us one Celestial Supreme Treasure, not only will you be able to wash away the enmity between the dragon clan and the Seven Absolutes Sect, but you'll also be able to work with our patriarch and our clan to kill the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans and drive them away! Isn't this a good solution?" The Supreme Elder tried to persuade Duan Ling Tian in a friendly manner.

"He's right." The other Supreme Elder stepped forward as well. "Sect Leader Duan, you'll surely be able to drive the Devil Clans away if you work together with our patriarch… At that time, your name and our patriarch's name will be etched on the fabric history! This is beneficial to you. All you have to do is surrender one of your Celestial Supreme Treasures."

The two Supreme Elders of the dragon clan worked together to persuade Duan Ling Tian.

However, Duan Ling Tian only scoffed upon hearing the two Supreme Elders' words. "I'll kill the Devil Clan's Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and drive the Devil Clan away, but I refuse to work with the dragon clan! Moreover, there's no need for me to collude with the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans to kill your patriarch!" When he spoke, he looked at the patriarch of the dragon clan coldly.
