War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

after the dust had settled, du wei was shocked when he saw the planet that was five times larger than earth had disappeared as though it had never existed in the first place. he only saw a space full of stars in front of his eyes. his emotions were as turbulent as the sea at this moment. it took him a long time before he calmed down. "it's gone? the planet that was five times larger than earth is gone?"

du wei really hoped that everything was just a dream. however, he could not lie to himself. at this moment, duan ling tian's voice rang in his ears again, causing him to regain his senses.

"indeed. back then, i died after you betrayed me."

du wei was filled with disbelief when he heard duan ling tian's words. 'impossible! how can this purple-clad young man be mercenary king ling tian? even if he didn't die, it's impossible for him to gain such god-like strength!' in his opinion, duan ling tian's strength was beyond his comprehension.

duan ling tian looked at du wei and continued to say, "however, i was lucky. although i died, i transmigrated to another world." he spoke calmly as though he was talking about someone else. "that world is a world where the strong rules… after spending decades there and experiencing many things, i finally obtained the strength i have today. now that i've returned to earth, based on what i've seen, there's no doubt that i'm stronger than whatever elite you have on earth. you said you're standing on top of the food chain on earth. however, you're nothing compared to me."

du wei's expression changed dramatically as he listened to duan ling tian. he no longer doubted duan ling tian's words. after all, there was no need for duan ling tian to lie to him. he really did not expect mercenary king ling tian would transmigrate to another world after he had died on earth. moreover, in just a few decades, duan ling tian managed to grow so domineeringly strong. a hint of jealousy could be seen in the depths of his eyes as he thought to himself, 'why? although he had died, he still manages to live a better life than mine.'

"perhaps, in your eyes, this is the extent of the galaxy. however, i want you to know, this place where earth is located is called yan huang realm. there are many galaxies in yan huang realm. the galaxy that you know of is like the backwater with limited heaven and earth spirit energy. in fact, many elite forces in the realm wouldn't even deign to live here. i can see you're shocked by the fact that i can destroy a planet with just a casual wave of my hand, and you think that my strength is peerless. i want you to know that when i destroyed that planet, i didn't even use my full strength. moreover, there are many powerhouses in yan huang realm who are capable of such a feat as well. apart from that, there are many planets and galaxies that are governed by science and technology. they possessed apocalypse-level battleships that are also capable of destroying that planet with just one bomb."

duan ling tian paused for a moment before he looked at du wei contemptuously and said, "after listening to that, don't you think you're like a frog in a well? your ambitions sound like a joke to true elites."

each of duan ling tian's words had caused du wei to tremble inwardly. duan ling tian did not even use his full strength to destroy that planet? there were many people who were capable of destroying that planet as well? there were planets with advanced technology that possessed apocalypse-level battleships, and just one bomb from a battleship was capable of destroying a planet?

"a frog in the well…" du wei smiled bitterly. indeed, duan ling tian's words made him realize he was just a frog in a well.

duan ling tian said nonchalantly, "to me, the super nuclear bombs you have hidden are a joke. if i want to, i can easily find every single person you have had contact with. it won't be difficult for me to find those super soldiers who are in charge of detonating the super nuclear bombs. i'm sure it'll take me no more than half an hour to find and dispose of your super nuclear bombs."

each of duan ling tian's words was like a hammer to du wei's chest. he had turned pale from fright. he did not doubt duan ling tian's words after witnessing duan ling tian destroy a planet five times larger than earth. at this moment, he acutely felt that his plan was nothing but a joke.

"i've said everything i wanted to say." at this moment, duan ling tian's expression had turned cold. killing intent surged from his body as he said, "now, it's time for us to deal with the matter from decades ago!"

du wei panicked when he sensed duan ling tian's killing intent. his expression changed drastically as he pleaded, "b-brother tian! p-please d-don't kill me. don't kill me! i know i'm wrong so p-please don't kill me!" if he was not bound by duan ling tian's force, he would have fallen to the ground from fear.

when duan ling tian saw this, a thought appeared in his mind. he released his force on du wei, freeing him from his binds.

du wei who had been freed fell on his behind. however, when he saw there was nothing below him, save for the endless starry sky, his legs began to shake uncontrollably. at the same time, yellow liquid trailed down his legs. it seemed like he had peed himself. how could he not be frightened silly by this sight? it took him a while to discover he was still being supported by duan ling tian's force. then, he rose to his feet with great difficulty. he moved in front of duan ling tian before he fell to his knees. a hint of hysteria could be heard in his voice as he pleaded, "brother tian, please have mercy! spare my life! i'm wrong! i apologize! please don't kill me!"

in duan ling tian's past life, he had considered du wei as his brother. they would refer to each other as brothers. however, after decades had passed, he did not feel any sense of nostalgia when du wei addressed him as brother tian.

"hypocrite!" duan ling tian looked at du wei in disgust as he said indifferently, "everyone has to take responsibility for what they have done. i'll take our previous relationship into account and grant you a quick death!" previously, he had intended on torturing du wei before killing him. however, after watching du wei discarding his pride and begging for mercy, he decided it was pointless to waste time on someone like du wei. it would be enough so long as he killed du wei.

upon hearing duan ling tian's words, du wei suddenly stopped begging. he seemed to have regained his composure at this moment. after all, he knew duan ling tian quite well. he knew once duan ling tian had made up his mind, there would be no changing duan ling tian's mind. he rose to his feet and stared at duan ling tian as he said in a low voice, "ling tian! if it weren't for me killing you all those years ago, you wouldn't have possessed this kind of strength! even if i didn't betray you back then, and you hold onto your status as the strongest person on earth, you still wouldn't be able to achieve this level of power. in other words, i'm the one who made you!"

du wei who seemed as though he had grasped onto a life jacket began to scream with all his might, "didn't you always talk about being grateful to people who have helped you? it would be wrong for you to kill me since i've helped you!"

"you…" duan ling tian was rendered speechless by du wei's words. he found it funny and infuriating at the same time. he had never met anyone as shameless as du wei in the two lives that he had lived.
