War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“What?!”

“Formations?!”

The others who had not sensed the Formations quickly extended their Divine Consciousnesses into the stone forest to verify the matter.

“It’s true! There are Formations in there!”

“If you didn’t say anything, I wouldn’t have known!”

The disciple who discovered the Formations first said in a low voice, “Unless you study Formations, you wouldn’t have sensed them unless you deliberately looked for them…”

“What the hell are both of you plotting?”

Everyone looked at the two young men in unison with anger flashing in their eyes.

At the same time, the two young men’s expressions had turned gloomy.

Ding Yan looked as though he could not wait to pounce over and interrogate the two young men.

On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian remained calm. It was as though he was not surprised by the sudden turn of events.

At this time, the two young men knew they had already been exposed. With this, they suddenly retreated at lightning speed.

Duan Ling Tian reacted quickly and grabbed Ding Yan before he rushed toward the direction where the two young men had left.

Boom!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian and Ding Yang flashed away, a huge explosion rang in the air, shaking the ground. When Duan Ling Tian turned back, he saw the four disciples had been reduced to a mist of blood.

‘A Lord of Gods?!’

Duan Ling Tian was shocked, and his expression turned slightly grim. He did not waste time and brought Ding Yan with him as he chased after the two young men.

When Duan Ling Tian flashed and stood in front of them, they were shocked. They did not expect him to catch up to them. Without any hesitation, they fell to their knees and began to kowtow, begging him to spare their lives.

“Duan Ling Tian, please spare me! I promise I won’t forget your kindness for the rest of my life!”

Duan Ling Tian ignored the duo. He raised his hand casually, killing the duo with a spatial storm. Following that, he brought Ding Yan away from the area immediately. He would only be seeking death if he entered that stone forest with Formations.

After flying past a mountain range, Duan Ling Tian set Ding Yan down before he said, “Ding Yan, the Lord of Gods seems to be alone. I’ll lead him away while you escape.”

Ding Yan, who felt remorseful, did not insist on following Duan Ling Tian. He knew he would only be a burden to Duan Ling Tian if he followed Duan Ling Tian.

‘Damn it! I’m too weak to be of help to him! Although he’s strong, he’s not a match for a Lord of Gods! I need to look for Uncle Sikong!’ Ding Yan thought to himself before he hurriedly sent a message to his Uncle Sikong.

However, after waiting for a long time, Ding Yan still did not receive a reply. He wondered inwardly with a dark expression on his face, ‘Is Uncle Sikong in closed-door cultivation? I should have exchanged Soul Pearls with the others. Then, I would’ve been able to ask them to call for reinforcements!’

With that, Ding Yan hurried back to Flying Dragon Sect, laden with guilt and anxiety. To be safe, he took a detour.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian led the Lord of Gods into a towering mountain range, playing a game of hide-and-seek.

Only half a day had passed when the Lord of Gods finally caught up to Duan Ling Tian.

Swoosh!

A tall and average-looking middle-aged man stood in Duan Ling Tian’s path, staring at Duan Ling Tian with a sinister expression on his face. It was like a predator eyeing its prey. He was dressed in a long black robe, and even though he did not carry anything that would give away his identity, Duan Ling Tian was certain the other party had come to kill him.

Earlier, as soon as they arrived in front of the stone forest, Duan Ling Tian knew for sure that he had been deceived. There was no Divine Sanctuary left behind by an Emperor of Gods, and it was just a ploy to lure him out of the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.

“Who are you? Are you from the 10,000 Devils faction or the Hidden Fog faction? Or, are you Xue Ming Zhi’s man?” Duan Ling Tian asked calmly.

In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, only one of these three could be the culprit. Put aside Xue Ming Zhi and the 10,000 Devils faction, he knew there were those from the Hidden Fog faction who wanted him dead despite his good relationship with Xue Hai Chuan.

The middle-aged man ignored Duan Ling Tian. He attacked with a five-foot-long golden saber. The saber rays shot toward Duan Ling Tian, growing as they flew out.

Although the attack was only from a triple Fused Profundity from the law of metal, Duan Ling Tian still felt pressured since the opponent was a Lord of Gods.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian hurriedly mobilized his Divine Energy before he teleported away. However, not long after he reappeared in a random place, the golden saber rays turned around and flew toward him again with the might of a mountain.

Swoosh!

The golden saber rays lit up the sky as they fell on Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian teleported away, narrowly escaping the attack.

The attack pierced through the air and landed on the ground with a thunderous boom, leveling the mountains and leaving holes on the ground.

“You can’t escape from me,” the middle-aged man said indifferently before he attacked again.

However, Duan Ling Tian managed to avoid all of the middle-aged man’s attacks in the nick of time.

After a moment, the middle-aged man came to a stop as he looked at Duan Ling Tian icily. Then, his Divine Energy turned golden as he imbued it with the law of metal.

Buzz!

Following that, the middle-aged man flew toward Duan Ling Tian at a terrifying speed. This time, Duan Ling Tian failed to teleport away in time as the golden saber rays swept toward Duan Ling Tian like a flood.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man thought to himself with a satisfied expression on his face, ‘Master will be pleased by my performance…’

Alas, in the next moment, the middle-aged satisfied expression was replaced with a dark expression.

“It’s just a doppelganger from the law of space!”

Meng Shan’s expression was extremely unsightly at this moment. Although he had already mentally prepared himself for this, he was still displeased.

After he calmed down, he quickly sent a message to Kuang Tian Zheng to inform Kuang Tian Zheng about what happened.

Kuang Tian Zheng’s eyes flashed icily after he listened to the message. His body surged with killing intent as he thought to himself, ‘Looks like I’ll have to personally kill him…’

…

Ding Yan returned to the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate, laden with anxiety. He could only pray that Duan Ling Tian was safe. Soon enough, he sighed in relief when he received a message from Duan Ling Tian.

“Duan Ling Tian, did you manage to get rid of that Lord of Gods?”

“No. My doppelganger from the law of space was destroyed by him. My true body is in the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

Ding Yan’s eyes brightened immediately. “As it turns out your true body is in the sect!”

“That’s right. Before this, you said only Kings of Gods would be going to the Divine Sanctuary. Hence, I thought it was enough to send my doppelganger. However, just to be safe, I didn’t tell you about it.”

Ding Yan’s mood improved upon hearing this. However, after a moment, he said apologetically, “I’m sorry for causing you trouble, Duan Ling Tian. I really didn’t expect the Divine Sanctuary to be a lie nor did I think it was just a ploy to kill you!”
