War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens



"Yes, that's what Lord Xiao said," Duan Ling Tian said with a nod, lightly tapping his fingers on the stone table in front of him with a frown on his face.

There were a few dozen level-seven supreme powerhouses now thanks to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda's change a thousand years ago. Alas, three of them perished at the same time.

"Among those three…" Feng Qing Yang said. He hesitated for a moment before he continued to ask, "Is Agu Li among them?"

"Yes. How did you know that?" Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised. Indeed, Xiao Mu Bai had mentioned earlier that Agu Li was one of the three level-seven supreme powerhouses who died.

"Are you sure?" Feng Qing Yang asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Feng Qing Yang smiled wryly. "He had always been very curious about the mysterious place that the nine entrances lead to… He traveled to various places just to confirm the nine entrances in all those places lead to the same place… If it weren't because of the fact that his strength was limited, he would've gone to that mysterious place. For all these reasons, when you mentioned three people from the Primordial World died, I thought of him immediately."

Agu Li's enthusiasm for that mysterious place left a deep impression on Feng Qing Yang back then. He could tell that Agu Li would not give up easily. Given the chance, Agu Li would explore that mysterious place behind the nine entrances. Unexpectedly, even after joining forces with another two new level-seven supreme powerhouses, he still died.

"I'm even more convinced now that the reason the Heaven Traversing Pagoda is helping everyone grow stronger has something to do with that mysterious place behind the nine entrances. Those three were likely killed by more than one creature. Unlike before, you and Agu Li managed to retreat safely because both of you only encountered one creature… If there was only one creature, there's no reason for them to die…" Duan Ling Tian said seriously, "It's a pity they died inside the entrance. I wonder if they left any clues behind on their doppelgangers…"

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he exchanged a look with Feng Qing Yang, and both of them rose to their feet immediately.

The duo heard the doppelgangers were unable to enter the nine entrances so they knew the trio who perished there were not doppelgangers. Although doppelgangers would vanish soon after the true bodies died, they could still leave clues behind.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang decided to go to the Primordial World to investigate this matter. They wanted to find out what happened to the trio. After all, even a creature that was almost as strong as a level-eight supreme powerhouse would not be able to kill three level-seven supreme powerhouses so easily.

…

After the master and disciple arrived in the Primordial World, they went to the Adagon Tribe immediately. Since Duan Ling Tian had visited once with Xiao Mu Bai before, he knew the way there.

Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness when he arrived at the Adagon Tribe. The atmosphere was solemn and eerie. Everyone seemed lifeless as though they had lost their souls.

"What's going on?" Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.

When a powerhouse of the Adagon Tribe came out to welcome the duo, they found out that the tribe was greatly impacted by Agu Li's death. After all, everyone in the tribe regarded Agu Li as their 'faith'. They worshiped him and treated him like a deity. Now that he had fallen, it was as though their world had come to an end.

Duan Ling Tian asked, "I came to ask if Agu Li's doppelganger mentioned anything before it disappeared?"

The old man was one of the few World supreme powerhouses in the Adagon Tribe. He only became a World supreme powerhouse within a thousand years ago. Similar to many imminent World supreme powerhouses, he entered the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and grew stronger. After becoming a World supreme powerhouse, the Heavenly Tribulation was no longer a threat to him.

Duan Ling Tian had heard about this from Xiao Mu Bai.

Speaking of Xiao Mu Bai, he was already a World supreme powerhouse before the new entrances to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda appeared. Thanks to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, he was very close to becoming the third level-seven supreme powerhouse in the God Defying World after Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian.

In fact, Zhang Shan had already become a level-seven supreme powerhouse three hundred years ago. However, since he was a native of the Transcendence World, he was not counted even though he was now residing in the God Defying World.

"Yes," the old man said grimly, "Before his death, he told us what they encountered there… He said they intended to test the strength of the creature guarding the entrance. However, when they started fighting, two more opponents that were stronger than the first one appeared. Those two were humans. They had no chance to escape at all and didn't even exchange more than twenty moves before they died."

The old man continued to say, "Agu Li said one of the humans was slightly stronger than the creature while the other one was much stronger than the creature. The trio was easily suppressed by the duo. They had no chance to escape back to the Primordial World at all."
