War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

"The Title Temple is relentless'¦ They failed to make a move on me in the past, and now, they're after my disciple. Do they think I'm a pushover?" Feng Qing Yang said.

Chills ran up Ding Fu's spine when he saw the killing intent flashing in Feng Qing Yang's eyes. Clearly, the Title Temple had crossed Feng Qing Yang's bottom line this time.

"Brother Feng, I know you're strong, but the Title Temple has a solid foundation. It'd be unwise for you to confront them directly," Ding Fu reminded Feng Qing Yang. He was worried Feng Qing Yang would cause a scene at the Title Temple.

"Brother Ding, rest assured. Before my physical body leaves the Asura Hell, I won't act recklessly," Feng Qing Yang said with a smile as the cold expression on his face eased.

Ding Fu's heart thumped loudly in his chest when he heard Feng Qing Yang's words. Feng Qing Yang's strongest law was the law of destruction. Unlike the clone from the law of earth that could leave Feng Qing Yang's side, the clone from the law of destruction was inseparable from him. In the end, he could not help but curiously ask, "How strong is your physical body now?"

"Killing Xu Kong Hai will be as easy as trussing a chicken," Feng Qing Yang said as his narrowed eyes glinted coldly.

Ding Fu inhaled sharply when he heard Feng Qing Yang's reply.

Although there were quite a few Vice Temple Masters in the main Title Temple, Xu Kong Hai was undoubtedly among the strongest. At the very least, an ordinary god was no match for him. How could Ding Fu not be shocked when Feng Qing Yang said it would be as easy as trussing a chicken to kill Xu Kong Hai?

'¦

Duan Ling Tian, who was unaware of Feng Qing Yang and Ding Fu's conversation after he left, continued to comprehend the law of space after he returned to the Primeval Cliff. He had lost all track of time until Su Li's voice pulled him back to his senses.

"Duan Ling Tian, it's time. The fifth round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses is about to start."

"Time passed so fast'¦" Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself when he heard Su Li's words.

Su Li, Ling Jue Yun, and Tang San Pao hovered in the air as they waited for Duan Ling Tian.

After returning to the Primeval Cliff, Duan Ling Tian was fully focused on comprehending the law of space. After Great Master Miyan's plan was foiled, he was not worried Great Master Miyan or the Title Temple would make a move again so soon.

At that time, his master had also sent him a message informing him that Xu Kong Hai, the Vice Temple Master of the main Title Temple, was involved in his kidnapping attempt as well. Xu Kong Hai was in charge of distracting Feng Qing Yang if Feng Qing Yang showed up to intervene.

After learning about that, Duan Ling Tian was even more eager to grow stronger as fast as he could. He could not wait to grow strong enough to kill Xu Kong hai. Although he knew the Title Temple had hidden agendas, he did not expect they would be so despicable and stooped so low as to work with Great Master Miyan to kidnap him even if they did not know Great Master Miyan, a member of the Phantom Clan from the Land of the Dead, had possessed Ru Lai.

If Great Master Miyan had succeeded in his plan, Duan Ling Tian would have been brought out of the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven to the Land of the Dead so Great Master Miyan could possess him.

When Duan Ling Tian arrived before Su Li, Ling Jue Yun, and Tang San Pao, he shook his head and sighed. "A month flew by in just a blink of an eye'¦"

If he had successfully kidnapped Duan Ling Tian out of the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven, he might have brought Duan Ling Tian back to the Land of Dead and fully possessed him.

"It felt as if a moment had just passed instead of a month'¦" Duan Ling Tian sighed and shook his head.

"We feel the same way as well," Tang San Pao said with a smile, "Let's go. The fifth round of the Battle of the Geniuses is about to start."

"Alright."

Similar to Duan Ling Tian and his friends, many young geniuses in the Primeval Cliff were also leaving at this time, including Yu Dong Fang, the third true disciple of Gongsun Xuanyuan, the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven.

When Yu Dong Fang saw Duan Ling Tian, he sent a Voice Transmission immediately. "Duan Ling Tian, I hope we'll meet in the battle ring soon."

Yu Dong Fang's words were filled with provocation.

Duan Ling Tian only smiled faintly in response before he shifted his gaze away from Yu Dong Fang and ignored him.

Yu Dong Fang's expression darkened immediately upon seeing Duan Ling Tian's disregard for him.

'¦

When Duan Ling Tian and the others arrived at the venue of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses, most of the other young geniuses, the Heavenly Emperors of the various Devata Realms, and the high-ranking officials from the Title Temple branches had already arrived.

Duan Ling Tian discovered that his master was the only Heavenly Emperor who had yet arrived. Even his master's good friend, Ding Fu, Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven, Ding Fu, had arrived.

'Master isn't here yet?'

Shortly after Duan Ling Tian and the others took their seats, Xu Kong Hai appeared and announced, "The fifth round of the Battle of the Geniuses will start in a moment. The rules are similar to the rules of the first bout of the fourth round. The Title Temple will arrange the matches for 50 matches in the first bout. The strong participants won't be pitted against each other in the first bout. Participants who have displayed strength comparable or stronger than a Four Star God of War will not be fighting each other during the first bout as well'¦"

Many people were disappointed upon hearing Xu Kong Hai's words. They were here to watch the exciting matches after all. How could a match between the strong and the weak be exciting? There was no suspense at all!

Among the 100 participants who had advanced to the fifth round, those with strength weaker than a Four Star God of War could only smile bitterly. It seemed like they were going to be beaten in a pulp during the first bout of the fifth round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. Although they could still redeem themselves in the following bouts, it would be a difficult task. Most of those who had advanced to the fifth round were stronger than a Four Star God of War or at least as strong as a top Three Star God of War; how could they win a challenge with these people?

Tang San Pao said with a smile, "It seems like we won't be fighting each other for now'¦"

Shortly after that, the names of the participants began to appear in the air.

Five matches would take place simultaneously, and Ling Jue Yun was selected to fight with a participant called Yuan Tong.

Zhong Gui Yu was also selected, and his opponent was a participant who had almost gotten eliminated previously.

When the participants entered the battle ring, it was quite clear that those with grim expressions on their faces were the weaker ones.

The first five matches ended in just a few dozen breaths. The weakest among those who were eliminated was a participant as strong as a Four Star God of War.

Ling Jue Yun and Zhong Gui Yu were the fastest to end their fights.

The crowd naturally knew that barring any accidents, the duo would easily advance to the sixth round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses.

Only the top 30 participants would be able to advance to the sixth round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. In the past, those who managed to make it into the top 30 had strength comparable to a Four Star God of War at least. However, this time, there were quite a few weaker participants with strength comparable to a Four Star God of War who were eliminated since there were quite a few participants this time who were stronger than a Four Star God of War.

In the following five matches, the winners were four participants stronger than a Four Star God of War and a participant with the strength of a top Three Star God of War. The four participants stronger than a Four Star God of War quickly ended their fights while the participants with strength comparable to a top Three Star God of War took longer to seal his victory since his opponent also had strength comparable to a Three Star God of War.

In just a blink of an eye, 10 matches had ended.

Another ten names appeared in the air. This time, not only Duan Ling Tian was selected, but Yu Dong Fang was also selected. Naturally, as per the rules, they were not assigned to fight each other.

On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian and Yu Dong Fang's opponents had incredibly grim expressions on their faces at this moment.

Coincidentally, Duan Ling Tian and Yu Dong Fang ended their fights with just a strike at the same time.

Yu Dong Fang stared coldly at Duan Ling Tian's back after his match.

At this time, the young geniuses who were paying close attention began to notice something strange. In just a while, they could tell there was tension between Duan Ling Tian and Yu Dong Fang.

"Hey, don't you think there's something wrong with Yu Dong Fang's gaze'¦"

"Is there bad blood between them?"
