War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Little White and Little Black were naturally upset when they failed to defeat Little Gold after joining forces. Their friend who had always been weaker than them was no stronger than both of their strengths combined. They felt rather complicated; they were genuinely happy for her, but at the same time, they were upset that they were weak.

Little White sighed before she asked curiously, "Little Gold, I didn't expect that you would evolve into a Divine Beast so quickly. What's your form called?"

"The Nine Depths God Killing Mouse!" Little Gold replied with a smile.

A small commotion broke out on the training field when the others overheard these words. They could tell earlier that Little Gold had evolved into a Divine Beast, but they did not recognize her form. They were naturally shocked when they found out she was a Nine Depths God Killing Mouse that was one of the top Divine Beasts.

"The Nine Depths God Killing Mouse? The founder of Blood Moon Ridge was a Nine Depths God Killing Mouse as well, right?"

"That's right! The current Leader of Blood Moon Ridge is a direct descendant of the founder!"

"To think the second Nine Depths God Killing Mouse has appeared in Blood Moon Ridge."

Similar to the others, Little White was shocked as well. "Little Gold, you've evolved into a Nine Depths God Killing Mouse?"

Before Little Gold could reply, Ji Ning Yun, the Fourth Elder of the dragon, interjected, "Little Gold, you've traveled. Let's settle down first before all of you continue to chat."

Ji Ning Yun had cut the conversation short because she was afraid the members of the dragon clan would recklessly enter the Purgatory Battlefield if they found out Little Gold had evolved in there. As an elder of the dragon clan, she, naturally, did not wish for something like that to happen. Moreover, she was even more worried Little Black and Little White would be tempted to enter the Purgatory Battlefield.

Alas, after Ji Ning Yun led everyone away and arranged the accommodations for Little Gold and the others, Little Gold did not forget to resume their conversation.

Little Gold said, "As you can guess, I evolved in the Purgatory Battlefield. I was really lucky to encounter a Turquoise Water Divine Tiger. After Brother Ling Tian killed it, I devoured it and absorbed its blood qi to evolve into a Divine Beast…"

Little Gold did not hide anything from Little White and Little Black even though Ji Ning Yun was present. After all, she knew Ji Ning Yun would not harm her. Moreover, the dragon clan and the White Tiger Clan did not have many, if any, intersections.

"Turquoise Water Divine Tiger?" Ji Ning Yun and Little White exclaimed in shock.

Little Black's expression remained unchanged since he had never heard about the Turquoise Water Divine Tiger. However, it was not difficult for him to guess that the Turquoise Water Divine Tiger was a Divine Beast. Otherwise, how could Little Gold evolve into the Nine Depths God Killing Mouse after devouring it?

"I wasn't aware that a Turquoise Water Divine Tiger had appeared in the White Tiger Clan; they really hid its existence well..." Ji Ning Yun said. She naturally knew the Turquoise Water Divine Tiger was as important to the White Tiger Clan as the Ten-clawed Divine Dragon was to the dragon clan. Following that, she looked at Duan Ling Tian in surprise as well; she did not expect he was capable of killing a Divine Beast. However, she did not think it was strange after she recalled he had managed to injure a titled Celestial Emperor of the Heavenly Pool Palace. After all, no matter how strong that Turquoise Water Divine Tiger was, it was a Ten Directions Celestial Lord at most. Even if it possessed a Divine Artifact, at most, its strength was comparable to an ordinary Celestial Emperor. With that, it was not surprising that Duan Ling Tian was able to kill it.

After a moment, Ji Ning Yun said with a frown, "Little Gold, you're too reckless. You shouldn't have revealed your true form so easily on the training field. Word about the prodigy from the Blood Moon Ridge evolving into the Nine Depths God Killing Mouse must have already spread…" A worried expression could be seen on her face when she finished speaking.

Duan Ling Tian did not understand why Ji Ning Yun was worried.

Before he could ask, Ji Ning Yun continued to say to Little Gold with a grave expression, "The Blood Moon Ridge has made many enemies in recent years. In the past, they would ruthlessly attack disciples of Blood Moon Ridge as soon as they encountered them. Now that you've evolved into the Nine Depths God Killing Mouse, you've broken the balance between Blood Moon Ridge and its enemies. Once they find out that you're a Nine Depths God Killing Mouse, do you think they'll allow you to live? Especially when they know once you grow into your power, your strength would be a threat to them since you can easily annihilate their clans? If you ask me, once they receive news of this, they'll definitely send people out to assassinate you during your journey back to Blood Moon Ridge…"

"I've sent a message to the old man to inform the Leader of Blood Moon Ridge of this matter," Ji Ning Yun continued to say, "That old man replied and told me that the Leader of Blood Moon Ridges asks the dragon clan to look after you for a few days. He'll personally escort you back to Blood Moon Ridge. Over the next few days, stay put in the dragon clan and don't leave the estate ground, understand?"

"Yes, Elder Ning Yun," Little Gold hurriedly replied, chastened. Fear could be seen in her eyes. She did not think things through as usual and got herself into trouble again because she wanted to show off to Little White and Little Black.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian's expression turned solemn as well. He did not think Little Gold's actions would have such consequences.

…

Over the next few days, Duan Ling Tian accompanied Little Gold and stayed in the dragon clan's estate as well while she waited for the Leader of Blood Moon Ridge to escort her back. Therefore, he met the Leader of Blood Moon Ridge as well when he arrived at the dragon clan's estate.

Xue Yun Tian, the Leader of Blood Moon Ridge, was a young man dressed in a blood-red long robe. There was a mark of flame on his glabella that seemed alive; upon closer look, one could see the flame dancing. He was wickedly handsome and had a pair of bright eyes that seemed as though lightning was flashing in them. His unrestrained aura made him look more like a sectless cultivator than the leader of a huge clan. Nevertheless, there was no doubt his aura, unrestrained or not, felt terrifyingly fierce and majestic.

When Xue Yun Tian saw Little Gold, he laughed and said affectionately, "Little Gold, I didn't expect you to evolve into the Nine Depths God Killing Mouse. I wanted to invite the Grand Elder to accompany me here, but he's in closed-door cultivation. He'll be incredibly proud and delighted once he finds out you've evolved..."

Xue Yun Tian was usually aloof. However, at this moment, a huge smile could be seen on his face. He looked like a first-time father who was overwhelmed by emotions at this moment.

Little Gold hurriedly said, "I couldn't have done it without Brother Ling Tian. Without his help, I wouldn't be able to evolve into a Divine Beast in the Purgatory Battlefield."

Xue Yun Tian turned to look at Duan Ling Tian in surprise. He was further surprised when he saw Huan'er. "You're a Divine Beast as well?"

"Huan'er is a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox that only appears once in 1,000,000 years in the Phantom Fox Clan," Little Gold said.

"I see..." Xue Yun Tian nodded before he shifted his attention to Duan Ling Tian and said, "Thank you for helping Little Gold evolve…"

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and replied, "Little Gold is like my younger sister; it's only natural for me to help her. There's no need for you to thank me…"

"Nevertheless, this means a lot to us. Little Gold will definitely lead us to great heights in the future now that she's a Nine Depths God Killing Mouse. Blood Moon Ridge will finally be able to regain its former glory…" Xue Yun Tian said with eyes that shone with hope, "In the past, Blood Moon Ridge was at its peak when my ancestor, the Nine Depths God Killing Mouse, was around. Even Heavenly Emperors of Devata Realms wouldn't recklessly provoke our Blood Moon Ridge at that time. In the end, my ancestor even challenged the Heavenly Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven at that time and killed him, becoming the new Heavenly Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven…"

It was unfortunate that after the founder of Blood Moon Ridge went to a Realm of Gods, Blood Moon Ridge began to go downhill. Without the Nine Depths God Killing Mouse, their strength naturally weakened. Strength aside, none of them were great strategists like the founder was. Therefore, as time passed, Blood Moon Ridge drifted further and further away from their glorious days. Now that another Nine Depths God Killing Mouse had appeared, it was a sign that Blood Moon Ridge was on its way back to the top!

Xue Yun Tian sighed in relief inwardly. 'Fortunately, there's no animosity between the dragon clan and Blood Moon Ridge and Little Gold has a good relationship with the dragon clan's two little ones. Otherwise, Little Gold probably wouldn't survive…'

It went without saying if the dragon clan and Blood Moon Ridge were on bad terms, Little Gold would have died as soon as she stepped foot into the dragon clan's estate.

Therefore, Xue Yu Tian looked at Ji Yu Nian, the Grand Elder of the dragon clan, and solemnly said, "Thank you, Elder Yu Nian. Blood Moon Ridge is indebted to you. Thank you for taking care of Little Gold over the past few days."
