War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“He might not necessarily be a master of Formations… Maybe he had someone else set up the Formation,” the green-clad young man replied.

“D*mn it! I didn’t expect the assassin to be so cunning that he even prepared a Transporting Formation that you couldn’t detect in time.” Sun Liang Peng was dejected. “The traveling distance of a one-time Transporting Formation is limited… Second brother, search your surroundings thoroughly. I’ll join you at once!” As soon as Sun Liang Peng finished speaking, he left the Simplicity Celestial Sect immediately. At the same time, he brought with him powerful high-ranking officials of the sect to search for Duan Ling Tian as well.

It did not take long before half of the Celestial Kings in the Simplicity Celestial Sect left the sect’s estate to search for Duan Ling Tian.

Meanwhile.

Duan Ling Tian had been transported to a desolate and eerie canyon. There was a strong stench that permeated the air that Duan Ling Tian was forced to erect a barrier around himself to keep the stench at bay. Fortunately, maintaining the barrier would not deplete his Celestial Origin Energy. Even if he kept the barrier up for 200 years, it would not affect his strength that was granted by the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. With this, he had no fear of his strength falling from that of a Ten Directions Celestial King to a Nine Palaces Celestial King.

“It’s a Transporting Formation… The sect leader’s second brother was not transported along with me… It must be a one-time Transporting Formation. This assassin is well prepared.” Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath to calm down. He could only rely on himself now.

Duan Ling Tian surveyed his surroundings with a cold expression as he nonchalantly said, “Since I’m already here, why don’t you show yourself?”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, a mocking voice echoed in the canyon. “What an incredible bond between a servant and his master…”

Duan Ling Tian quickly extended his Divine Consciousness to locate the whereabouts of the voice’s owner.

In a corner of the canyon, a figure walked out of a cave with another person hanging over his shoulder. The figure slowly emerged from the darkness that blanketed the canyon, revealing a middle-aged man with a medium build who dressed in the Blood Skull Gang’s standard uniform for their assassins. It was similar to what the previous assassin had worn.

The middle-aged man’s appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were fierce and cold.

Duan Ling Tian felt chills running up his spine when he met the assassin’s gaze.

“Guang Lin!” Duan Ling Tian soon cried out. His expression turned grim when he saw the unconscious Liu Guang Lin. He extended his Divine Consciousness into Liu Guang Lin’s body only to discover traces from a White Lightning Talisman. This was the reason Liu Guang Lin had remained unconscious all this time.

Duan Ling Tian used his Divine Consciousness to nullify the effect of the White Lightning Talisman, and it did not take long before Liu Guang Lin began to slowly open his eyes. His eyes widened when he saw Duan Ling Tian, and he cried out in a hoarse voice, “M-my lord!” His voice sounded weak as though he had suffered terribly.

Then, Liu Guang Lin hurriedly sent Duan Ling Tian a Voice Transmission. He revealed the identity of the person who had brought him out of the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate. Although he did not know where he was or what was going on, he could tell that someone had plotted against his master. Therefore, he did not waste any time revealing what he thought was crucial information to Duan Ling Tian.

‘Zheng Hong Yi?!’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened when he heard Liu Guang Lin’s words.

At this moment, an indifferent voice echoed in Duan Ling Tian’s ear. “It’s time for you to wait for your master in hell.”

“No!” Duan Ling Tian’s face darkened even more. His Celestial Origin Energy surged out into fiery flames.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Like a ball of fire, Duan Ling Tian charged toward the assassin.

“You’re too late!” The assassin was one step ahead. He moved like a phantom in the air. At this moment, he held an inconspicuous silver thread in his hand. When he moved his hand, Liu Guang Lin’s body was immediately torn apart by the silver thread!

“Guang Lin!” Duan Ling Tian cried out in despair as he came to a halt. He watched Liu Guang Lin being torn apart in front of him with reddened eyes. At the same time, the flames surrounding his body began to surge again.

“Don’t worry. You can accompany him in hell…” The assassin sneered when he saw Duan Ling Tian losing his composure. He looked at Duan Ling Tian as though Duan Ling Tian was a dead man walking. He said flatly, “Die!”

As soon as the assassin finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed coldly as he turned into a ball of flame and charged toward the assassin. His speed was so fast that it was comparable to the assassin’s speed.

“I’d love to see how long you can keep up with me since the power of your Celestial Origin Energy isn’t yours.” The assassin moved and evaded Duan Ling Tian. He intended to force Duan Ling Tian to deplete his power that was granted by his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.

As he moved around, the assassin thought to himself solemnly, “Those people in charge of gathering information are really unreliable… These clearly aren’t profundities from the law of earth. They’re clearly the law of fire’s Fundamental Profundity, the Fire Elemental Profundity, and the Pillaging Profundity! Fortunately, they sent me to complete this mission. I’m afraid if they had sent a Four Phenomenons Celestial King or a Five Elements Celestial King to do this job, they would have died here.’

“Senior Chaos Divine Flame.” Duan Ling Tian’s expression was grim. He was well aware of the assassin’s intention. He called out to the Chaos Divine Flame before a grey flame surged out of his body and fused with the flames shrouding his body.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang in the air.

The next moment, the flames on Duan Ling Tian’s body surged higher, and his speed had increased as well. At this moment, his speed was even faster than the assassin.

“T-this is the Explosion Profundity?!” The assassin’s expression changed drastically. He knew it was impossible for him to avoid Duan Ling Tian now. Due to the power of the explosion earlier, he had assumed Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the Explosion Profundity. The Explosion Profundity was an offensive and movement profundity from the law of fire so it could increase one’s speed as well.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The assassin stopped running away. He turned around and opened his arms. The air in his surroundings rippled as an ear-piercing buzzing noise rang in the air. The thread in his hand suddenly transformed into tens of thousands of sword qi. He and the thread glowed with a green light and the wind seemed to shroud him as he made a move. Based on this, it was clear he had comprehended the law of wind. Moreover, excluding the law of wind’s Fundamental Profundity, the Wind Elemental Profundity, it could be seen that he had cast three profundities at this moment: the Gale Profundity, the Wind Gathering Profundity, and the Slicing Profundity.

“A Six Combos Celestial King?” With this, Duan Ling Tian figured out the assassin’s cultivation base, and he also recognized the law of wind’s profundities the assassin was using.

“Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword!” Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate and brought out the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword to parry the assassin’s attack. To avoid the assassin from recognizing the sword as something beyond Celestial Weapons, he had intentionally pretended to bring the sword out from his Spatial Ring.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when a series of buzzing noises rang in the air again. “The Wind Blade Profundity?”

After the assassin cast the Gale Profundity, the Wind Gathering Profundity, and the Slicing Profundity, he cast the Wind Blade Profundity as well!
