War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Naturally, Yun Fu Ye’s sneer was not directed at Huang Wen Jing but at Duan Ling Tian. He had looked at her while he was sneering because he wanted to share the delight he felt over Duan Ling Tian’s impending death with her. However, to his surprise, he discovered not only did his little junior sister look despondent, but she looked slightly upset as well. “Little Junior Sister, aren’t you happy for our master?” He was perplexed by her reaction. He called out to her again, “Little Junior Sister! Little Junior Sister! What are you thinking about?”

Huang Wen Jing finally regained her senses when Yun Fu Ye called out to her repeatedly. She smiled, but it looked forced, as she said, “Senior Brother, I’m happy for our master… I just… I was just thinking about something else earlier…”

Yun Fu Ye nodded and said with a smile, “Just wait and see… Duan Ling Tian will soon be killed by the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Master doesn’t even have to dirty his hands to deal with him!” As soon as he finished speaking, he turned back to look at Duan Ling Tian with a pointed gaze. Although he did not have many interactions with Duan Ling Tian, he had been eager to kill Duan Ling Tian once he found out that he was the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion! It was unfortunate that he lacked the strength to kill Duan Ling Tian with his own hands. Otherwise, Duan Ling Tian would have been dead.

After Huang Wen Jing confirmed Yun Fu Ye had looked away, she continued to look at Duan Ling Tian with an expression of worry and anguish on her face. ‘Killed by the Celestial Ascension Tribulation?’ She did not know why she would still worry about him even though she knew that it was impossible for them to be together. She still wanted him to live well. She thought to herself helplessly, ‘I could still beg for mercy from master to spare your life. However, what can I do if the danger comes from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation?’

Above the Tribulation Clouds.

“Master!” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan looked at the grey-clad old man and said solemnly and warily, “Although there’s no precedence of someone passing the Heavenly Tribulation under such circumstances, my instincts tell me that this man is different! He’s a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior after all!”

Indeed. In the Devil Clans’ history, there was no such precedence of anyone passing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation that they did not attract on their own. However, Duan Ling Tian was different from them, he was also a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!

A Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior’s body was as strong as an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon. They could even go heads-on with the initial lightning bolts from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation with just their brute strength!

For this reason, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan felt wary of Duan Ling Tian.

“Why? It seems like you’re quite confident he would be able to pass the Heavenly Tribulation!” The grey-clad old man asked indifferently after hearing words of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan.

From the beginning until now, the old man remained expressionless. It seemed as though he would still be able to maintain his composure even if Mountain Tai collapsed in front of him.

“I have a feeling he’s different from the Devils in the past. He’s human after all. It’s not impossible for him to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation,” The Patriarch of the Human-devil clan said solemnly.

“So? Do you plan to kill him now?” The grey-clad old man asked again.

“Master, stop teasing me… He’s undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation now. If I act now, the Celestial Ascension Tribulation will think I’m trying to help him, and in turn, I’ll suffer from the lightning penalty!” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan said with a wry smile. Although he was an Eminent Celestial, he would not be spared by the lightning penalty if he interfered in another person’s Celestial Ascension Tribulation!

Although even the strongest lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, the 81st bolt of lightning, was not a threat to an Eminent Celestial, if someone who was an Eminent Celestial tried to interfere, the Celestial Ascension Tribulation would release even stronger and more terrifying lightning penalty.

In the course of the Devil Clans’ history, there were Eminent Devils and Celestials who tried to help others to overcome their Heavenly Tribulations, but in the end, they were killed instead. Moreover, the lightning penalty that killed the Eminent Devils and Celestials was ten times more powerful than the final lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!

With such precedence, how would the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan dare to interfere with the Celestial Ascension Tribulation? That would be akin to seeking death.

“So what if he manages to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation? You’re not confident you’ll be able to kill him after he becomes an Eminent Celestial? ” The grey-clad old man asked indifferently.

After listening to the grey-clad old man’s words, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan smiled wryly. “Master, although I became an Eminent Celestial earlier than him, I don’t think I’ll be a match for an Eminent Celestial who’s also a Nine- clawed Dragon Warrior.”

The grey-clad old scoffed as he said coldly, “If you’re really that useless, I’ll kill him with my own hands!” He obviously felt exasperated by his disciple’s behavior.

The eyes of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan lit up immediately upon hearing the grey-clad old man’s words. “All will be well with your help, master!”

What a joke! His master was at a level that was higher than an Eminent Celestial. He was comparable to a true Celestial. In comparison, a mere Eminent Celestial who was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was just like a defenseless baby, right?

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware that he was longer just facing the threat from Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. Currently, he was still waiting for the third bolt of lightning to strike.

Time continued to pass. In just a blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Suddenly, a blindingly white light flashed in the sky, seemingly capable of lighting up the whole world.

Boom!

Accompanied by the blindingly white light, deafening claps of thunder reverberated in the air. It was so loud that it even injured the ears of those with a lower cultivation base.

In the next moment, under everyone’s watchful eyes, two bolts of tribulation lightning struck down from the sky.

The first lightning bolt struck at Yuwen Hao Chen while the second one struck at was Duan Ling Tian!

These were the third lightning bolts that Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen had to face. Needless to say, it was much stronger than the first two light bolts. However, it was not difficult for both of them to deal with the third lightning bolts. With a casual wave of their hands, they nullified the lightning.

The onlookers who were present were not surprised when they saw Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen dealing with the third tribulation lightning with ease. After all, it was only the third tribulation lightning out of the 81 bolts of tribulation lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. The people present on the scene would be even more surprised if both of them could not even deal with the third bolt of lightning.

After Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen dealt with the third bolt of lightning, the place fell silent again.

Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen were not the only ones waiting for the fourth lightning bolt to strike, the people present on the scene were also waiting for it.

Time passed by silently.

Boom!

The fourth tribulation lightning came quickly.

Following that, the fifth and sixth bolts of lightning struck as well… Boom!

Boom!

One after another, they struck at Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen, but both of them dealt with it effortlessly.

However, both of them became serious when faced with the 30th lightning bolt. Its power was nothing the previous lightning bolts could compare to. Even then, it was still no threat to them. It was not particularly difficult for them to deal with it.

Currently, more than a day had passed.

It is becoming tougher and tougher…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he dealt with the 55th bolt of tribulation lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. He no longer had a relaxed expression on his face. After all, the strength of the 55th bolt of lightning was comparable to the full strength of a powerhouse who had just broken through to the Ninth Form Saint of the Celestial Stage. Although it did not pose a huge threat to him, his mood turned somber when he recalled he still had 26 bolts of tribulation lightning to deal with.

Boom!

Boom!

As time passed, the tribulation lightning continued. One after another, they became more and more powerful. It has also widened the horizon of those who were present.

This is the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning… It seems like Palace Master Yuwen Hao can barely hold on any longer.”

Among the people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls, some were astute enough and noticed Yuwen Hao Chen’s deathly pale face.

At this moment, Yuwen Hao Chen had almost used up all his strength. After all, he had fought with Duan Ling Tian unreservedly three days ago.

“Duan Ling Tian is also barely hanging on…”

“Duan Ling Tian is not faring any better.’

“However, he can still transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior…” An elder from Crimson Blaze Palace as his eyes glinted.

“As for the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, I think it won’t be long before he cast the technique he had inherited to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation!”

“I have long heard about it but never had the chance to see it… I must make sure that I don’t miss a single bit of it.”

“In the past, I’ve always heard about how tough it is to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, but I have never given it much thought… However, after personally witnessing it with my own eyes, I finally realize how terrifying the Celestial Ascension Tribulation is!”

“There are eleven bolts of tribulation lightning left… The Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace will definitely pass the Heavenly Tribulation with his inherited technique.”

“However, I’m not sure what will happen to Duan Ling Tian…”
