War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 4491: Duan Tian Hong

Within the Duan clan’s side estate for recruitment in Tourmaline Holy City…

The elder in charge of the side estate, who was also an elder of the Duan clan’s Enforcement Hall, brought a spatial artifact out and said loudly, “Don’t resist. Follow me into the spatial artifact.”

Following that, the elder brought Duan Ling Tian into the spatial artifact.

Duan Ling Tian naturally knew better than to resist during the process. After all, he was just entering a spatial artifact, which he could leave at any time. He would not be afraid even if he had entered the old man’s Little World. After all, the old man was a supreme powerhouse. If the old man truly wanted to harm him, there was no need to go through all this trouble. The old man could easily kill him now.

!! After Duan Ling Tian and the old man vanished into thin air, leaving only a gourd-shaped artifact behind, Tan Xiu Teng waited calmly for their return. He was very confident about the result. He knew the Duan clan would be more than happy to accept Duan Ling Tian as an interim elder or a Revered Elder.

After all, although Duan Ling Tian was not a peerless top advanced Supreme God yet, there were likely not many people below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods in the Duan clan who were a match for Duan Ling Tian.

In the spatial artifact.

“Do your best to resist my attack and let me see your true strength,” the elder said. Without waiting for a response, he attacked immediately.

A majestic energy swept toward Duan Ling Tian with the force of a thousand troops immediately.

Before entering the spatial artifact, the old man could already tell that the purple-clad Duan Ling Tian was close to becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God. However, he was not sure of the level of Duan Ling Tian’s strength. After all, there were differences in strength between those with the same cultivation base.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Duan Ling Tian did not hold back anymore. His Divine Energy along with his law of space that had reached the perfect form surged turbulently. Following that, he used his Sword Dao and struck with all his might, crushing the incoming attack completely. Needless to say, he was only capable of this because the old man had held back his strength.

As soon as the old man made a move earlier, Duan Ling Tian could tell the old man only attacked with the strength of someone who was close to the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods, and this level of strength was much weaker than his. Someone with this strength could not even withstand ten moves from him. If the said person did not have some special means, he was confident he could kill the said person.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian’s energy gathered and formed a powerful sword ray that shot out immediately.

The power of the sword ray caused the elder to widen his eyes in shock and disbelief. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so powerful.

‘He… His strength is comparable to the strongest members below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion!’

Although the Duan clan had prodigies like Duan Ling Tian in the history of the clan, they were few and far in between. With a history that spanned millions of years, there were only a few people like Duan Ling Tian in the Duan clan. As for the current Duan clan, there was no one like Duan Ling Tian at all.

How could the elder not be shocked now that someone like that was undergoing the assessment to join the Duan clan?

‘There’s no mistake. His Sword Dao has definitely reached the sixth stage.

Moreover, it’s close to entering the seventh stage!’

The elder was further shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Dao. Based on his knowledge, there were not more than 100 people who comprehended any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to the sixth stage in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds in the current generation.

‘In the current era, perhaps there aren’t more than five people who have comprehended the Sword Dao to the sixth stage. Moreover, I don’t think anyone below the realm of Saints has comprehended the Sword Dao to the sixth stage!’

All Saints, without exception, had the highest level of cultivation. Put everything else aside, they had at least mastered one law to the paramount stage and comprehended one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to the sixth stage.

After a brief moment, the elder quickly dismissed his thoughts. He saw Duan Ling Tian’s attack sweeping over and waved his hand, easily blocking Duan Ling Tian’s attack.

Although Duan Ling Tian’s attack was powerful, it was naturally insignificant to the elder who was a supreme powerhouse.

At this time, a smile appeared on his face. His stiff and stern expressions from earlier had vanished. He said, “Young man, I’m Duan Tian Hong; the Second Elder of the Duan clan’s Enforcement Hall. What’s your name?”

If any member of the Duan clan were here, they would have been shocked to see Duan Tian Hong now. After all, Duan Tian Hong rarely smiled even in front of the Clan Leader of the Duan clan, let alone other people. The only person who received such treatment was only the Duan clan’s demi Saint.

“My name is Duan Ling Tian. Greetings, Elder Tian Hong,” Duan Ling Tian replied. He was naturally not surprised by Duan Tian Hong’s change in attitude.

He had already expected this. With his strength now, let alone a demi-saint-rank force, he would be warmly welcomed even in a saint-rank force.

“Your surname is Duan as well?” The smile on Duan Tian Hong’s face widened upon hearing this. Perhaps, he rarely smiled so his smile looked awkward in the eyes of others.

Duan Tian Hong continued to say, “It seems like you’re destined to join our

Duan clan. With your strength, you’re more than qualified to become a Revered Elder in our Duan Ling Tian. In fact, I don’t think there’d be an objection even if you become a Grand Revered Elder in our clan!”

Before Duan Ling Tian came, he knew that the title ‘Grand Revered Elder’ was only given to the strongest interim elders and Revered Elders. This only applied to those below the realm of supreme powerhouses. If it were a supreme powerhouse, he or she would be given the title ‘Guardian’.

‘Revered Elder’ was the title given to interim elders; outsiders below the realm of supreme powerhouses who joined the Duan clan.

“Let’s go! I’ll bring you to the Duan clan’s main estate to meet our clan leader!”

Duan Tian Hong said. He was anxious to bring Duan Ling Tian back, worried that Duan Ling Tian would suddenly change his mind and decide not to join the Duan clan.

“I’ll have to trouble you then, Elder Tian Hong,” Duan Ling Tian said politely.

“It’s no trouble at all! This is just a trivial matter,” Duan Tian Hong said as he waved his hand, “Moreover, your surname is Duan Ling Tian. You must be distantly related to our Duan clan. Not only are you destined to join the Duan clan, but you’re also destined to meet me. Therefore, there’s no need for you to be so polite to me. If you’re willing, you can treat me like an older brother!”

Duan Tian Hong could not sense Duan Ling Tian’s exact age, he could only vaguely sense that Duan Ling Tian was not more than 30,000 years old. Those who possessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength at such an age were all prodigies.

After leaving the spatial artifact, Duan Tian Hong said, “Since he’s your subordinate, he should follow us back to the Duan clan.’

After that, Duan Tian Hong, who did not even take a proper look at Tan Xiu Teng earlier, nodded and smiled at Tan Xiu Teng slightly.

Although the smile was slight and short, it shocked the person who led Duan Ling Tian and Tan Xiu Teng here.

‘What’s going on? Elder Tian Hong always has a stern expression on his face and rarely smiles… He actually smiled?’
