War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens



When Duan Ling Tian regained consciousness, he discovered that he and the others who entered the Realm of Origin were in a vast open space. A vortex churned behind them; obviously, it was where they had entered the Realm of Origin from. When he looked around, he found that his vision was impeded by the fog lingering in the surroundings; he had no idea what lay behind the fog at all.

Fortunately, the first and second group of people had recorded their experiences in memory jade tokens for those in the third group. With this, the third group knew roughly what to expect and could avoid taking detours.

'According to the first group of people, when they first entered, a voice told them that there were only one entrance and nine exits to the ruins. After leaving through one of the nine exits, one will be transported outside the entrance. This is the only entrance, and the other nine exits' whereabouts are unknown…' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

There were 31 people in the third group, including Duan Ling Tian. As soon as they entered the Realm of Origin, the others began to approach Duan Ling Tian and struck up a conversation with him.

"I heard that your name is Duan Ling Tian? You're representing the Tourmaline Holy City's Duan clan, right? I heard that you comprehended the Sword Dao to the sixth stage?"

"Duan Ling Tian, is your Sword Dao really in the sixth stage? Can you show it to us? I was under the impression that only Saints comprehended the Sword Dao to the sixth stage!"

"Duan Ling Tian, did you lie about your Sword Dao to deceive Palace Master Xiao into inviting you to join the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion's Golden Dragon Palace?"

Based on these words, it was clear that those who spoke to Duan Ling Tian were prodigies from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. After all, only those from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion were privy to this matter.

Alas, Duan Ling Tian did not pay attention to these people. At this moment, he saw Yao Xing Chen making a move to leave, and not long after, he saw Yao Tian Chen leaving as well. He could not help but feel helpless upon seeing this.

'I knew it. The task that Palace Master Xiao entrusted me with won't be easy. Since we just came in, Yao Tian Chen didn't dare to make a move in front of so many people. However, now that Yao Xing Chen has left alone, Yao Tian Chen finally has a chance to act…'

Duan Ling Tian did not have time to speak to the others and quickly left, following Yao Tian Chen from afar.

At the same time, the prodigies from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion were stunned when they saw Duan Ling Tian leaving without saying a word to them. They did not expect him to be so rude and arrogant at all.

"Duan Ling Tian is too arrogant!"

"He just ignored us! Does he think he's a peerless top advanced Supreme God?"

"How rude! With his attitude, even if he joins our Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion and the Golden Dragon Palace, he won't be able to live for long!"

…

Duan Ling Tian naturally did not hear the words of the prodigies from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. Even if he did, he would not have cared. At this moment, he was focused on following Yao Tian Chen, who was tailing Yao Xing Chen, from afar.

Yao Tian Chen was a peerless top advanced Supreme God, after all. As such, it did not take long for him to discover Duan Ling Tian's presence. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with a cold and piercing gaze as he asked, "Why are you following me?"

Before entering the Realm of Origin, Yao Tian Chen had heard that Duan Ling Tian was a prodigy among prodigies who had comprehended the Sword Dao to the sixth stage. Unsurprisingly, he was extremely jealous of Duan Ling Tian. Although the Yao clan was a clan filled with sword cultivators, no one in the long history of the clan had comprehended the Sword Dao to the sixth stage before. The highest stage of the Sword Dao that anyone from the Yao clan had comprehended was the peak of the fifth stage, and that person was the strongest demi Saint in the history of the Yao clan. Alas, that person could not withstand the test of time and was killed during the once-in-ten-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation, which would grow increasingly more difficult. Currently, the two demi Saints of the Duan clan had also comprehended the Sword Dao to the fifth stage.

Duan Ling Tian remained calm as he replied, "The Realm of Origin is so big. How can you say that I'm following you?"

"Stop following me," Yao Tian Chen threatened as he glared at Duan Ling Tian icily, "Otherwise, I'll kill you."

After that, without waiting for a reply, Yao Tian Chen continued to follow Yao Xing Chen. He was confident that Duan Ling Tian would not be a match for him if he had made a move. In fact, he was confident he could kill Duan Ling Tian, but he would have to use his hidden trump card. Without his trump card, he could at most defeat Duan Ling Tian, who was on par with Yao Xing Chen; it would be difficult to kill Duan Ling Tian without his trump card. Not only that, but most importantly, he would not be able to kill without making a huge commotion that would attract everyone's attention. If he made a huge commotion and failed to kill his target, he would be in deep trouble once word of his actions spread.

Apart from that, Yao Tian Chen knew he could not recklessly make a move against Duan Ling Tian now because the commotion would also attract Yao Xing Chen's attention. At that time, Yao Xing Chen would definitely raise his vigilance, making it even more difficult for him to kill Yao Xing Chen.

"Kill me?"

Upon hearing Yao Tian Chen's words, Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly. Then, as though he did not hear Yao Tian Chen's words, he continued to follow Yao Tian Chen.

Needless to say, Yao Tian Chen quickly discovered that Duan Ling Tian was still following him. He stopped in his tracks again and turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. His gaze was cold, and his expression was furious as he said, "Brat, what do you want? Are you trying to test my patience?"

Yao Tian Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent as his Divine Energy surged. Following that, a golden light burst forth before forming five sword rays that emitted the aura of the Sword Dao.

Duan Ling Tian maintained the slight smile on his face as he asked directly, "I heard that you're a peerless top advanced Supreme God?"

"That's right," Yao Tian Chen replied proudly, "So, I advise you to stop following me. Otherwise, I'll kill you. Although it's difficult, it's not impossible. You might be invincible in Tourmaline Holy City, but in my eyes, you're nothing."

In fact, Yao Tian Chen did have the qualification to be proud. He was the first among the younger generation in the Yao clan to comprehend a law to the paramount stage. It was also the reason he was selected as the successor of the Clan Leader of the Yao clan.

"It's good that you're a peerless top advanced Supreme God," Duan Ling Tian said with a nod, "What do you think about sparring with me? I've been itching to fight for months now!"

As Duan Ling Tian spoke, his Divine Energy surged, and his eyes burned with battle intent. Since he reached the threshold of the seventh stage of the Sword Dao, he had yet to have a chance to fight properly. After all, the people around him at that time were supreme powerhouses. Those people could easily crush him if they wanted to.

On the other hand, in Duan Ling Tian's eyes, Yao Tian Chen, a peerless top advanced Supreme God who was also skilled in the Sword Dao, was a good opponent. How could he not be eager to fight Yao Tian Chen?
