War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

There was no doubt Xue Jing Yu and the other participants were dissatisfied that Duan Ling Tian had claimed two King Grade Celestial Weapons. However, they knew there was nothing they could do about it. After all, Duan Ling Tian had comprehended two profundities of a law. Now that another person had audaciously stepped forward to lay claim on the final King Grade Celestial Weapon, how could they endure it, especially when this person was only as strong as they were?

“Lad, although both you and Duan Ling Tian are geniuses who haven’t reached the age of 100, don’t forget he has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth. There’s nothing wrong if he wants to claim two King Grade Celestial Weapons. However, look at your own strength before you try to emulate Duan Ling Tian… Don’t tell me, similar to Duan Ling Tian, you’ve comprehended two profundities of a law as well?” An old man did not hesitate to vent his frustrations caused by Duan Ling Tian on Ling Jue Yun.

“Why don’t you try me?” Ling Jue Yun replied nonchalantly.

The old man was slightly taken aback.

The scornful expressions on Xue Jing Yun and the other participants’ faces disappeared. They were confused by Ling Jue Yun’s reply. When they looked at Ling Jue Yun hovering in the air confidently, they could not help but feel his temperament was rather similar to Duan Ling Tian. It was as though Duan Ling Tian had stepped forward to lay claim on the King Grade Celestial Weapons again.

“Is it possible that he has comprehended two profundities as well?”

“Impossible! He’s not even 100 years old!”

“You can’t say that. Duan Ling Tian hasn’t reached the age of 100 as well, right?”

“You’re right. Duan Ling Tian is not even 100 years old, but he has already comprehended two profundities. There’s no doubt he’s a rarely-seen monstrous genius. Saying that, do you really think we’ll encounter, not one, but two rarely-seen monstrous geniuses who comprehended two profundities before the age of 100 at the same time and place? What do you think of the chances of that happening?”

“Zero to none… A freak like Duan Ling Tian hasn’t appeared in the past 10,000 years in the Profound Nether Mansion. It’s impossible for us to meet two of such geniuses at the same time and place!”

The remaining participants, including Xue Jing Yu, were rather certain Ling Jue Yin, who was not even 100 years old, did not comprehend two profundities of a law.

‘Ling Jue Yun…’ Duan Ling Tian looked at Ling Jue Yun knowingly. He had deliberately left the final King Grade Celestial Weapon for Ling Jue Yun. He would have taken all three of the weapons if Ling Jue Yun did not say he wanted one as well. They were defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons that had been nurtured by Celestial Lords, after all! Their value was incredibly high. He could give them to his friends after leaving the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Why would he leave one behind if it was not for Ling Jue Yun?

Duan Ling Tian was the only one who knew Ling Jue Yun would be able to easily take the King Grade Celestial Weapon away.

“Lad, quit fooling around!” The old man looked at Ling Jue Yun disdainfully. “Since you asked for it, I’ll fulfill your wish!” He did not wait for Ling Jue Yun’s reply and mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy immediately. At the same time, a mace appeared in his hand. Soon after, his Celestial Origin Energy turned blue. It was obvious he had boosted it with the Fundamental Profundity he had comprehended.

When Duan Ling Tian sensed the cool aura from the old man’s Celestial Origin Energy, he thought to himself, ‘This is the law of water’s Fundamental Profundity, the Water Elemental Profundity?’

The old man’s Celestial Origin Energy had turned blue and become fluid, taking on the characteristics of water.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Before Xue Jing Yu and the others regained their senses, the old man had swung his mace before letting it loose in the air. It was like a meteorite in the sky as it sailed in the air. It seemed to be shrouded by a mist of blood and spots of black light. Obviously, the old man had also cast other techniques apart from just boosting his Celestial Origin Energy with the Water Elemental Profundity.

A middle-aged man exclaimed, “What a surprise! It’s a preemptive attack from Old Li. He’s really not holding back and intends to kill him!”

“In the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, a slight mistake will result in death. He did so to make sure nothing goes wrong!” a young man replied.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening sounds of explosions rang in the air as the mace split into two and continued on their trajectories. All of a sudden, the blue Celestial Origin Energy that shrouded the two mace suddenly morphed into two giant wolves’ heads. They bared and snapped their fangs as they drew closer to Ling Jue Yun.

“Why isn’t he dodging?”

“Is his speed too slow?”

“He’s going to die for sure!”

“How dare he lay claim on the King Grade Celestial Weapon with this level of strength!”

Boom!

A loud explosion rang in the air as the maces landed on Ling Jue Yun and the two giant wolves’ heads sunk their fangs into each of his shoulders.

Unlike Xue Jing Yun and the other participants, Duan Ling Tian discovered something was amiss. ‘What kind of technique is that?!’ He was rather certain it was not Ling Jue Yun who had received the old man’s attacks.

At this moment, the voice of Huang’er, the artifact soul he just obtained, rang in his mind. “It’s the Undead Doppelganger, a profundity from the law of death.”

Huang’er continued to say, “Little Feng has comprehended two profundities from the law of death. Besides the Fundamental Profundity, the Death Elemental Profundity, he has also comprehended the Undead Doppelganger.”

“The Undead Doppelganger?” Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian saw two streaks of dazzling red light shooting out of Ling Jue Yun’s eyes. Apart from that, he could keenly sense the bloody aura that Ling Jue Yun emitted at the moment.

Ling Jue Yun, whose eyes were red, scoffed. “Is this all you’ve got?”

A cloak suddenly appeared on Ling Jue Yun’s body. There were lines of ancient scriptures and patterns embroidered on it. As soon as the cloak appeared, the wolves’ heads released their bites on Ling Jue Yun’s shoulders and disappeared. Meanwhile, the two maces bounced off his body as well. Then, his bloody aura suddenly spiked, and his cloak turned red and began to flutter even though there was no wind blowing in the air.

‘There’s no way that cloak is a King Grade Celestial Weapon! A King Grade Celestial Weapon wouldn’t have such terrifying powers!’ Duan Ling Tian’s attention was captured by Ling Jue Yun’s cloak.

The intricate scriptures seemed to come to life as Ling Jue Yun’s aura spiked. It seemed as though the scriptures were veins, and blood was coursing through them.

“Huang’er… His cloak is…” Duan Ling Tian said.

“It’s a purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon,” Huang’er replied.

“An Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon?” Although Duan Ling Tian had suspected this, he was still taken aback.

Ling Jue Yun did not hesitate to use his Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon since everyone would have their memories erased after leaving this place. Nobody would remember he possessed an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon after leaving the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Meanwhile, Xue Jing Yu and the others realized that Ling Jue Yun’s cloak was extraordinary. It was definitely not just a King Grade Celestial Weapon.

“That cloak… It seems extraordinary!”

“I-is this a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?” the old man asked. Fear was written all over his face when he realized his attack could hardly leave a scratch on Ling Jue Yun. His expression changed as he stared at the cloak on Ling Jue Yun. He could tell even a defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon that had been nurtured by a Celestial Lord was far inferior to the cloak.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Ling Jue Yun sneered. “A Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?” However, he did not bother to correct the old man. Instead, he charged at the old man at the speed of light.

The old man knew he did not have time to put up his defenses. He could only bite the bullet and try to withstand Ling Jue Yun’s attack. Even if he was injured, it would be fine as long he survived. ‘I hope he’s not as crazy as Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, I’m doomed!’

Ling Jue Yun fisted his hand and swung it at the old man’s maces!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ling Jue Yun’s fist collided with the old man’s maces.

‘Thank goodness.’ The old man sighed in relief inwardly. It seemed like he was able to withstand Ling Jue Yun’s attack. However, in the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

Whoosh!

A short-lived sound of wind howling rang in the air.

A figure shrouded in black and red qi seemed to have shot out of Ling Jue Yun’s body before turning into a sword. The sword easily pierced the old man, cleaving him into two.

Upon seeing this, Xue Jing Yu and the others widened their eyes and gasped in shock.

“T-this…”

“How did Ling Jue Yun appear out of his own body?”

“Good heavens! What sort of technique is this?!”

How could they not be surprised? The figure that appeared resembled Ling Jue Yun! Why were there two Ling Jue Yun?
