War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Jun Wang Chen was a core disciple of the Wind Thunder Dao Sect. His cultivation base had reached the level of a Ten Directions Celestial King, and he also possessed a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. However, he was killed by a woman who was not even 100 years old in just a few breaths!

“Using the law of space’s Transportation Profundity, she bypassed Jun Wang Chen’s outer defenses by transporting the grey sword rays behind the barriers. I bet Jun Wang Chen didn’t expect that at all!”

“He didn’t even have time to crush his Identity Jade Token to leave the upper realm!”

“Jun Wang Chen definitely took a risk by waiting to crush his Identity Jade Token. He could have crushed his token as soon as the woman cast the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity.”

“Well, he took that risk and paid with his life!”

Most of the onlookers felt that Jun Wang Chen died because he was reckless.

At this moment, the onlookers were looking at the white figure solemnly. Although the other person was just a Six Combos Celestial King, she had comprehended two profundities from the law of space to the initial stage. They had witnessed her casting the Restraining Profundity and the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity that had been comprehended to the initial stage.

Meanwhile, after killing Jun Wang Chen, Huan’er quickly collected his Spatial Ring. Then, she returned to Duan Ling Tian’s side and presented the ring to Duan Ling Tian. Apart from that, she also presented Jun Wang Chen’s Royal Grade Celestial Sword and purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon to Duan Ling Tian. “Brother Ling Tian!”

After Duan Ling Tian put the two Celestial Weapons away, he claimed ownership of the Spatial Ring by dripping his blood on it. He took a look and discovered mountains of Celestial Crystals, medicinal herbs, and some strange pieces of metal in the ring.

‘Hm? Is this the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman?’ Soon after, Duan Ling Tian discovered two Celestial Talismans in the ring. The talismans were similar to the one Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, had given him in the past. He discovered the strength of the two talismans he just found were as powerful as the one he used in the past.

‘If Jun Wan Cheng had used the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman to escape, Huan’er wouldn’t have been able to kill him… Well, he probably thought it would be a waste to use the talisman in the upper realm when he could just crush his Identity Jade Token to escape. Moreover, if he did not wait and had crushed his token earlier, he wouldn’t have died.’ If Duan Ling Tian did not remind Huan’er to use the Transportation Profundity, Jun Wang Chen would have definitely escaped. Using the Transportation Profundity was the only way to kill Jun Wang Chen before he could crush his Identity Jade Token.

Duan Ling Tian continued thinking to himself, ‘Since six months ago, Jun Wang Chen was ranked in the top 100. If I’m not mistaken, he was ranked 92nd with 59 points before he died. Now that Huan’er killed him, she’ll directly enter the top 100 and take over his place…’ Then, he confirmed Huan’er’s ranking by checking her Identity Jade Token. With the default 1 point in the token, she now had 60 points after killing Jun Wang Chen.

Someone checked their Identity Jade Token at this moment and cried out, “Look! There’s a new name in the 92nd place. It’s that woman, Huan’er!”

“Not only is she a Six Combos Celestial King and comprehended two profundities from the law of space to the initial stage before the age of 100, but she’s also a peerless beauty with a perfect figure! Even the geniuses from the Seven Upper Province aren’t as heaven-defying as her, right?”

“So terrifying! I don’t think I have ever met a Six Combos Celestial King as terrifying as her!”

At this time, Duan Ling Tian said to Huan’er, “Huan’er, take a look at your ranking through your Identity Jade Token…’

Since there were no scoreboards for the upper realm outside of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, there was no way for the people outside to know the rankings in the upper realm. The only way they could find out about the rankings was if the people inside sent them a message to tell them about it through Celestial Talismans. Unlike the middle realm, Celestial Talismans, along with Celestial Weapons, were permitted in the upper realm.

Apart from that, once a participant left the upper realm, they would not be able to see the rankings through their Identity Jade Tokens as well.

Jun Wang Chen was a core disciple of the Wind Thunder Dao Sect, one of the Top Five Sects in the Southern Heaven Territory, after all. Naturally, it did not take long before news of his death in the upper realm spread.

Although there were no other disciples from the Wind Thunder Dao Sect present when Huan’er killed Jun Wang Chen, there were many who had acquaintances in the Wind Thunder Dao Sect.

“Brother, I need to tell you something! Your Wind Thunder Dao Sect’s core disciple, Jun Wang Chen, is dead!”

“Brother Tian, your Wind Thunder Dao Sect’s core disciple, Jun Wang Chen, was killed by a woman called Huan’er. She’s not even 100 years old!”

“Senior Sister Qin, Senior Brother Jun Wang Chen is dead!”

Messages were sent one after another to the disciples from the Wind Thunder Sect.

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that news of Jun Wang Chen’s death had spread. Even if he was aware, he would not care.

To enter the upper realm was to risk one’s life, after all. Jun Wan Cheng died because he was not strong enough. Everyone understood this. Could the Wind Thunder Dao Sect demand the Profound Nether Mansion to hand him over to them? Of course not. As one of the Top Five Sects in the Southern Heaven Territory, how could they do something so embarrassing? They could not openly seek revenge; at most, they could only send more of their disciples into the upper realm to avenge Jun Wang Chen.

After Huan’er saw her points and ranking, she said, “Brother Ling Tian, this is really easy! I’ve already entered the top 100 after killing one person!” Based on her tone, it was clear she thought it was easy to make it onto the scoreboard.

Duan Ling Tian knew Huan’er was unaware of how things worked in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm so he explained to her patiently, “Huan’er, it’s only easy because the unlucky guy you killed earlier already possessed 59 points. Since half a year had passed since the upper realm opened, this means you obtained all the points he had accumulated for six months.”

Realization finally dawned on Huan’er. “I see… Does this mean I’ll gain more points if I can kill a few more unlucky guys like him?”

“Well, yes… However, there are less than 100 people in the upper realm who have more points than him at this moment,” Duan Ling Tian said. After a moment, he called to Huan’er, “Let’s go, Huan’er… We’ll make our way to the edge of the realm and see if we can find anything there.”

As Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er made their way to the opposite direction of the safe zone, everyone in the surroundings fell silent as the duo walked past them. Some people even forgot that they had triggered the Invisibility Formation in their Identity Tokens so they held their breaths when the duo walked past them. They only heaved a sigh of relief when the duo disappeared from their sight. Then, they began to discuss among themselves again. Most of them were curious about Huan’er.

In the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, there were many ordinary Celestial Kings who chose to join forces with others to gain more points. Naturally, they would only team up with close friends or those they trusted. Otherwise, there was no guarantee they would not be betrayed. At this moment, all these people who gathered together fervently speculated among themselves.

“Have you ever heard of this woman?”

“I’ve never heard of her. In fact, I’m very sure this is the first time her name has appeared on the scoreboard in the upper realm.”

“I’ve never heard of her as well.”

“If this isn’t her first time here, it’s impossible that no one knows her. Put aside her strength, just her beauty alone is enough to make her famous in the Southern Heaven Territory, let alone the upper realm.”

“That’s right! This should be her first time here.”

Huan’er had left a deep impression on those who were present on the scene.

Many men were jealous of Duan Ling Tian for having a peerless beauty by his side. They were all men, but why was Duan Ling Tian so lucky? What was so special about him?

Meanwhile, an inconspicuous young man dressed in grey robes stood among the onlookers as he muttered to himself, “Her beauty, and her talent… Apart from that, she’s also less than 100 years old and is dressed in a white robe… and that handsome purple-clad young man with her… Could the young man be Duan Ling Tian? If so, she must be the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox that the branch leader mentioned, right?”

After a beat, the grey-clad young man sent a message. It did not take long before he received a reply asking about Duan Ling Tian’s appearance.

After he described Duan Ling Tian’s appearance, another reply arrived. “Based on your description, he should be Duan Ling Tian… I met him once when I visited the Profound Nether Mansion with our branch leader. As for the woman, she should be the veiled lady wearing a bamboo hat whom our men were following. Moreover, according to the men we sent to the borderland to investigate the matter, it’s said that the woman who accompanied Duan Ling Tian when he was in the borderland is also called Huan’er…”

The person whom the grey-clad young man was communicating with was also in the upper realm at this moment. It was an old man.

If Duan Ling Tian saw the old man, he would have recognized the old man immediately. The old man was none other than one of the two old men who accompanied the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory to visit the Profound Nether Mansion thirty years ago.
