War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian, Xue Hai Chuan, and Dongfang Yan Nian, who were leisurely wandering the Lord Battlefield, were naturally unaware of the commotion outside.

"I feel too at ease when I'm with the both of you," Duan Ling Tian said with a wry smile, "I'm starting to regret coming here with both of you. How can I train myself if this continues?"

It was said the Imperial War was used to help advanced Lords of Gods break through and become Emperor of Gods. It was due to the intense battles and hardships that they improved. This was also the case for other cultivators. However, if that was the case, life-or-death battles should be the same as well, right? There was no need for the Imperial War. Nonetheless, with both the Imperial War and life-or-death battles, there was the risk of underestimating one's opponent. After all, many people hid their trump cards and would only show them during critical moments. If one was not careful, one would lose one's life.

Saying that, the natives of the Realms of Gods were not fools. Although it was said that the purpose of Imperial Wars, Supreme Wars, and Powerhouse Wars was to facilitate breakthroughs, most people knew that it was just an excuse even if it would really help one's cultivation. The purpose was, in fact, to minimize losses among forces that wanted to annihilate each other. When fighting the war, there were rules and specific battlefields for cultivators with different cultivation bases. On the battlefields, one could escape if they were no match for one's opponent. Those who were weaker could even travel in groups.

Without the three wars, forces would just annihilate each other without any rules, and the casualty would be very high.

The Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect's respective Black Dragon Elders and Profound Heaven Elders usually traveled in small groups on the Quasi Emperor Battlefield. They usually would not wander the battlefield alone since they would die if they were to run into the Flying Dragon Sect's Golden Dragon Elders or the Tai Yi Sect's Supreme Elders.

Unlike life-or-death battles where the battles would only end when one person died, one could choose to escape whenever.

Since it would be a waste if only advanced Lords of Gods could participate in the Imperial War, the King Battlefield and the Lord Battlefield were subsequently created.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, Xue Hai Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. If we run into someone, we'll both stand aside and let you fight. We'll only intervene if the situation looks bad. With this, your cultivation won't be affected, and you'll still gain experience."

Duan Ling Tian said with a helpless expression on his face, "Do you think my opponent will be able to stay calm and fight with me if both of you are standing at the side? Moreover, why would they fight when they know they have no chance of killing me with both of you around? It's more likely that they'll run away the first chance they get."

Xue Hai Chuan thought about it for a moment before he nodded. "You're right. Very well. We can hide our presence and secretly follow you. However, Underworld Elders will be able to sense our presence so there's no need to hide from them."

In Xue Hai Chuan's opinion, Duan Ling Tian was no match for Underworld Elders. If they were to run into an Underworld Elder, there was no need for him and Dongfang Yan Nian even if they could. They would show up immediately to protect Duan Ling Tian.

Dongfang Yan Nian nodded. "This is a good idea. Little Lian's current strength should be on par with the inner elders of the Tai Yi Sect now. Perhaps, he might need us to help him end the fight now and then. We'll just watch and only interfere if he's in danger. We should also let him know our hiding place so he can teleport to us if the need arises."

Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian quickly came to an agreement.

Duan Ling Tian had no opinion and went along with their plan. Moreover, he was not worried the duo would compete for war points with him. Before entering the Lord Battlefield, Xue Hai Chuan had spoken to Dongfang Yan Nian about sharing everything equally. However, they would lend their war points to Duan Ling Tian. Dongfang Yan Nian had no objection since there was nothing he needed at this time. He even asked if Duan Ling Tian could refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills for him instead of returning the war points to him. Duan Ling Tian was naturally more than happy to agree to this. It was very easy for him to refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills when he could already refine most lord-grade Limit Divine Pills.

…

Duan Ling Tian continued to wander the Lord Battlefield while Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian tailed him.

'Ximen Long Xiang is really lucky! He managed to run into four rudimentary Lords of Gods from our sect within four months…'

Duan Ling Tian thought that Ximen Long Xiang was not only strong, but he was also very lucky. Previously, Duan Ling Tian only ran into two inner elders of the Tai Yi Sect after wandering the Lord Battlefield for two months. However, Duan Ling Tian gained more war points by killing two intermediate Lords of Gods compared to Ximen Long Xiang who killed four rudimentary Lords of Gods. Duan Ling Tian gained 4,000 war points while Ximen Long Xiang only gained 800 war points.

'I still can't believe those people believe my story…'

Duan Ling Tian did not care if people said he was only lucky or that he took advantage of the situation. He was mostly baffled by how gullible they were.

Why would those inner elders risk being taken advantage of by those from Flying Dragon Sect and fight a life-or-death battle on the Lord Battlefield even if their animosity ran deep? Would it not be easier to do it in another place or hire another person to kill the other party?

'Perhaps, they think it's impossible for a new rudimentary King of Gods to kill an inner elder. Although I did take advantage of the situation, Fang Yi Ming was not completely weakened when I killed him…'

Whether Xue Hai Chuan or Dongfang Yan Nian doubted his story or not, Duan Ling Tian was just glad they did not ask any questions.

…

In just a blink of an eye, a month had passed, and yet, Duan Ling Tian did not meet even one person.

Again, Duan Ling Tian sighed at Ximen Long Xiang's good luck.

Just as he was about to give up his expectations, he saw a figure in the distance. Since they were quite far away from each other, he could not tell if the other party was from the Flying Dragon Sect or the Tai Yi Sect.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian teleported without hesitation. He had acted very decisively. After all, if it was someone from the Flying Dragon Sect, he would continue on his journey. If it was someone from the Tai Yi Sect, he still had no reason to be afraid since Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian were around. On the Lord Battlefield, the White Dragon Elders and the Underworld Elders were the strongest, and he had two White Dragon Elders with him.

The figure clearly had no intention of fleeing even after sensing Duan Ling Tian's presence.

Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian saw that the other party was a middle-aged man. Then, he instinctively looked at the identity token that was pinned to the middle-aged man's chest.

'A member of the Tai Yi Sect!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself excitedly.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes upon seeing Duan Ling Tian's identity token. His expression changed slightly when he saw the excitement on Duan Ling Tian's face. On the battlefield, they had no other ways of identifying the opponents except for the identity token that only revealed the force they belonged to. However, even if he did not know Duan Ling Tian, based on Duan Ling Tian's excited expression alone, he could tell Duan Ling Tian was very confident about his strength.

'Is he a White Dragon Elder? I studied the appearances of the White Dragon Elders previously. I don't think he's a White Dragon Elder.'

The Lord Battlefield was dangerous, after all. There were many people who made many preparations before entering the battlefield. It was normal that those who were not confident to study their opponents so they knew who to avoid.

'I'm quite sure he's not a White Dragon Elder. If he's just an inner elder, then I have a chance of winning!'

The middle-aged man finally relaxed after he determined that Duan Ling Tian was not a White Dragon Elder. Nonetheless, he was still very cautious. He planned to test the water first.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang in the air as the middle-aged man brandished his saber.

Golden saber rays shot into the sky before they formed a net.

When the net fell, the middle-aged hurriedly retreated. He was going to confirm if Duan Ling Tian was a White Dragon Elder with this move. If Duan Ling Tian was a White Dragon Elder, he would seize the chance and flee while Duan Ling Tian tried to free himself.
