War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Truly, a man's wealth could bring his own ruin due to others' greed.

Duan Ling Tian's divine fountain was not only tempting to Supreme Gods, but also supreme powerhouses. Although the supreme powerhouses could not use the divine fountain, they had direct descendants, especially those they favored, who would benefit greatly from it. Even if a supreme powerhouse did not have descendants, he or she could exchange the divine fountain for many things in the Outer Boundary. There was no lack of demand for the divine fountain after all.

"Then, if he can't go to the Outer Boundary using our Transportation Formation…"

Xia Jie, the Third Master of the Xia clan, frowned slightly. He agreed with his brother about the danger of going to the Outer Boundary using the Xia clan's Transportation Formation. However, even if Duan Ling Tian did not go to the Outer Boundary from here, Duan Ling Tian still had to face countless Supreme Gods after leaving the Xia clan. He felt powerless thinking about this matter.

Even if Xia Jie was willing to escort and accompany Duan Ling Tian, he was not sure if he would be of much help. After all, he might not even be as strong as Duan Ling Tian now. If he went with Duan Ling Tian, let alone helping Duan Ling Tian, it would be good if he did not drag Duan Ling Tian down.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more vigilant after listening to Xia Yu's words.

'Even supreme powerhouses are after me now?'

After a while, Xia Yu said in a deep voice, "I'll request for our ancestor to return in person."

Xia Jie's frown deepened upon hearing this. "Our ancestor? Even if our ancestor returns and personally accompanies Duan Ling Tian, it might not be enough. The Supreme Gods definitely won't give up and might even work together. It'll also alert the other supreme powerhouses…"

Xia Jie's heart sank when he thought about the current situation of the Xia clan's ancestor. The ancestor was in fact a very ancient existence, but he was injured during his last once-in-ten-thousand-year Time Heavenly Tribulation and had yet to fully recover. This was also the reason his eldest brother was threatened by Yun Ting Feng. If the Xia clan's ancestor was in peak condition, how could Yun Ting Feng use the Yun clan's ancestor to threaten the safety of the Xia clan's ancestor?

If the Xia clan's ancestor returned to bring Duan Ling Tian away, it would be bad if the ancestor was attacked by another supreme powerhouse. Even if it was unlikely that he would die, he would still be greatly injured. At that time, his chance of surviving his next Time Heavenly Tribulation would be zero.

Xia Yu explained in a deep voice, "I'm not planning to ask the ancestor to bring him to the Outer Boundary. I plan to ask the ancestor to open a spatial passage. Through the turbulent space, he can travel upstream and still go to the Outer Boundary."

Xia Jie inhaled sharply upon hearing this. "Enter the turbulent space and travel upstream?! Isn't that too dangerous? Let alone an intermediate Supreme God, it'll be dangerous even for an advanced Supreme God to enter the turbulent space and travel upstream!"

Xia Yu glanced at Duan Ling Tian before he asked Xia Jie, "Do you still regard him as an ordinary intermediate Supreme God?" Then, he looked back at Duan Ling Tian and said, "If I enter the turbulent space and travel upstream to the Outer Boundary, I'm 70% certain that I'll survive."

With Xia Yu's strength, he had a 70% chance of survival and a 30% chance of dying if he entered the turbulent space and traveled upstream to the Outer Boundary.

Xia Yu continued to say, "Think about it yourself. If you leave through our Xia clan's Transportation Formation, the chances of you dying are higher. Moreover, you won't be able to seize the initiative in dealing with those who want to harm you and snatch your divine fountain. However, if you enter through the turbulent space, even supreme powerhouses will have difficulty pinning down your whereabouts. It's impossible to find someone in the turbulent space. However, traveling in the turbulent space doesn't just depend on strength, it'll also depend on your luck. In any case, the choice is yours to make."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, Xia Jie looked at Duan Ling Tian silently. He did not dissuade Duan Ling Tian because he also felt this was Duan Ling Tian's best choice.

Faced with the two brothers from the Xia clan, Duan Ling Tian said, "I understand, Clan Leader Xia. Thank you." Then, he continued to say, "I won't let the ancestor of the Xia clan help me in vain. Before I leave, I'll leave behind some liquid from the divine fountain for the Xia clan."

It was too big a favor for the ancestor of the Xia clan to return just to help Duan Ling Tian so he decided to repay the Xia clan with some liquid from the divine fountain. Although his wife was from the Xia clan, he had yet to acknowledge the clan for now. It would depend on his wife whether he acknowledged the clan as his family or not. For now, he would not let the Xia clan help him for nothing.

Xia Yu did not hesitate and immediately rejected Duan Ling Tian. "There's no need for that. I'm helping you not because of the divine fountain. As Xue'er's father, I'm indebted to her. This is my way of repaying her. Moreover, you can see this as the Xia clan investing in you."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked at Duan Ling Tian solemnly.

Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Duan Ling Tian said decisively, "If Clan Leader Xia refuses me, then I'd rather you not ask for the Xia clan's ancestor help. I'll depend on myself to leave."

Duan Ling Tian continued to say in a tone that brooked no argument, "As for my relationship with the Xia clan in the future, it'll have to depend on my wife's attitude. Before that, I don't want to be involved with the Xia clan."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu was stunned. Then, he sighed and said, "As you wish."

At the same time, Xia Jie's gaze turned even more complicated when he looked at Duan Ling Tian now. The young man who was incredibly weak in the past grew so quickly and was now on par with his elder brother, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan.

'Xue'er really found a good man,' Xia Jie thought to himself. At the same time, he also thought that the risk Ke'er took when she chose to reincarnate was worth it since it led her to Duan Ling Tian.

Following that, Xia Yu contacted the ancestor of the Xia clan and requested that he return to the Xia clan in person.

…

Meanwhile, outside the Xia clan's estate.

More and more people began to show up a distance away from the Xia clan. There were not only powerhouses from prime supreme-rank forces in the Divine Offering Land, but there were also powerhouses from other Realms of Gods who rushed over after receiving the news. All of them shared one purpose: ask Duan Ling Tian for some liquid from the divine fountain. If he was willing to cooperate, then the matter would end peacefully. Otherwise, they would snatch it from him.

However, among these people, not all of them were here to target Duan Ling Tian. There were Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng, who came from the Myriad Laws Academy in the Profound Energy Land. The duo had rushed over as soon as they received the news. Unlike the others, the duo did not lurk in the vicinity of the Xia clan's estate. Instead, they walked up to the Xia clan's estate.

When the duo arrived at the entrance of the Xia clan's estate, Yang Yu Chen said loudly, "I'm Yang Yu Chen from the Myriad Laws Academy's Inner Palace faction. I came with my Second Senior Brother, Hong Yi Feng, to visit the Clan Leader of the Xia clan."

Recently, the duo had enlisted their friends' help to patrol the areas around the Myriad Laws Academy in the Profound Energy Land. They killed many people who were lying in wait for Duan Ling Tian, dying the ground red.

With that, the duo's fearsome reputation grew in the Profound Energy Land. This was particularly true for Hong Yi Feng, the second member of the Inner Palace faction in the Myriad Laws Academy. Although he was just an intermediate Supreme God, he was not weaker than powerful advanced Supreme Gods. In fact, many powerhouses in the Profound Energy Land speculated that he was very close to being as strong as a top advanced Supreme God now. If he broke through into the realm of an advanced Supreme God, he would directly become a top advanced Supreme God, and his strength would not be weaker than some leaders of prime supreme-rank forces.

In the past, the Inner Palace faction was much more low-key. However, Hong Yi Feng, Yang Yu Chen, and Duan Ling Tian rose to fame, the Inner Palace faction could no longer hide its brilliance.

At some unknown time, an old Supreme God sighed and said to other Supreme Gods, "First, there was Huangfu Meng Yuan. Now, there are Duan Ling Tian, Hong Yi Feng, and Yang Yu Chen. The Inner Palace faction of the Myriad Laws Academy might just affect the future of the God Defying World…"

Along with its members, the Inner Palace faction naturally became famous.

…

In the Outer Boundary where powerhouses from the Myriad Worlds gathered…

In a burial ground that was dyed red from blood and littered with corpses and bones.

Occasionally, a few hideous and horrifying monsters could be seen scampering across the ground.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang in the air, and a blood-red figure rose up from the burial ground and shot up into the sky in the distance. As the figure flew away, he shouted angrily, "Huangfu Meng Yuan, you crazy woman! I already gave that thing to you, and I promised not to steal it from you! What more do you want?!"

Behind the man, an icy beauty chased after him. She said coldly, "The blood essence of your clan is also a great tonic. I can give it to my junior sister."

The commotion shattered the eerie silence of the burial ground in just an instant.

Following that, a green light suddenly appeared, causing the surroundings to pale in comparison. It shot toward the direction where the blood-red figure fled at blinding speed.

In the next moment…

"No!"

A shrill cry filled with unwillingness rang from the distance before the powerful aura in the distance disappeared.

The icy beauty flew toward the direction of the cry before she extended her slender hands and made a few hand gestures.

In just a blink of an eye, a mist of blood appeared in the air. Subsequently, drops of blood that flashed with golden lights appeared.
