War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The battle between the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan and Lady Feng of Drift Blaze Sect was set to take place in a vast district in the east, outside of Drift Blaze Sect’s estate. Since both of them had reached this level, there was no need for a special arena.

Early in the morning, the vast district in the east, outside of the Drift Blaze Sect’s estate, was already bustling with people. Most of them were Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples and elders. Apart from that, people from various forces had also arrived on the scene. Naturally, there were also people who were absent such as Feng Hen, the Young Sect Leader of Skywreck Sect.

The reason he was absent was due to his inability to get out of bed because of his injury. He would not be able to come even if he wanted to. However, the old man with the surname Yin had come instead. Old Man Yin was a Saint Stage powerhouse whose strength was on par with Situ Hou from the Situ Clan.

“The Situ Clan’s people are here!” Suddenly, somebody shouted loudly. Everybody instantly shifted their attention to the west where Drift Blaze Sect’s estate was located.

A group of three people was approaching them.

“That’s Situ Hang, the Great Young Master of Situ Clan!”

“And that’s Situ Hou, the Supreme Elder of Situ Clan. He’s also a Saint Stage powerhouse!”

“The purple-clad young man walking in the middle must be Master Duan, the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan!”

The group of Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples buried their heads together in a discussion as their eyes landed on the purple figure in the distance. Their eyes were filled with questions and disdain.

This was the person who wanted to challenge their Drift Blaze Sect’s Lady Feng, a powerhouse at the peak of the Saint Rudiment Stage and was ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking!

“Hurmph! He looks really young, but who knows, his real age might be 70 or 80 years old!”

“Who does he think he is to be worthy of competing with our sect’s Lady Feng. He has really overestimated himself!”

“There are some people who don’t know their limits unless we teach them a lesson… I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of expression he’ll make once he’s defeated by Lady Feng.”

Based on the Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples’ words, it was apparent they did not think very highly of Duan Ling Tian.

In fact, this was normal. Apart from the fact that he had suddenly become the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, not much was known about him at all. Apart from that, they had full confidence in their sect’s Lady Feng.

The group of Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples whispered to one another. Although their voices were not loud, Duan Ling Tian who had opened all of his 99 Saint Veins had super hearing, and he heard all their words.

However, he was not bothered by it at all. In fact, he had already expected this to happen. Let alone the disciples from Drift Blaze Sect, even Situ Hang and Situ Hou, who were following closely behind him, did not have faith in him even though they did not say it out loud.

Duan Ling Tian did not bother to explain himself. After all, he knew it would all be in vain. If he wanted to change their opinions, he only had one option, and that was to defeat Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect and replace her in the Heaven Ranking.

Duan Ling Tian felt very confident. Currently, his cultivation base had broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage. With the help of the Supreme Sword Dao mental cultivation method, the Sovereign Heart Sword, he had even mastered the 10,000 Swords Territory.

After studying it, he also learned ordinary Territories could not compare to the strength of the 10,000 Swords Territory. At the very least, among all the Territories he had seen before, none of them were qualified to be mentioned in the same sentence as the 10,000 Swords Territory.

Naturally, even without the advantage of his Territory, Duan Ling Tian also did not fear any Martial or Dao Cultivators below the Saint Stage. Put aside the fact that he could solidify the Divine Dragon Phenomenon, his body was different from ordinary Martial or Dao Cultivators. His body was even more powerful than the Five-clawed Divine Dragons from the dragon clan.

According to Elder Huo, Duan Ling Tian’s current body was comparable to a Seven-clawed Divine Dragon that was on the same stage as him.

Apart from his powerful body, the number of Saint Veins Duan Ling Tian had opened in his body was ridiculous. He had opened up a total of 99 Saint Veins. In other words, he had opened up all the Saint Veins there were to open! This was unprecedented in the history of Dao Martial Saint Land!

Due to all these reasons, Duan Ling Tian was extremely confident in his own ability. He did not think anyone below the Saint Stage would be able to defeat him.

“Oh?” Under everyone’s gaze, Duan Ling Tian came to a halt suddenly, frowning.

This was because he noticed a cold gaze filled with killing intent among the thousands of eyes that were gazing at him. As he looked into that specific pair of eyes, he saw the owner of the eyes. “It’s him!”

The owner of the eyes was none other than Old Man Yin from the Skywreck Sect. He was the old man that accompanied the Feng Hen, the Young Sect Leader of Skywreck Sect. He was a Saint Stage powerhouse.

Duan Ling Tian’s frown eased away when he saw it was Old Man Yin. He was not surprised the other party hated him and would derive pleasure from killing him due to the enmity that arose between them two days ago.

Due to this reason, when he discovered the person who was staring at him murderously was from the Skywreck Sect, he completely disregarded it.

Duan Ling Tian’s dismissal made Old Man Yin’s face turn extremely grim. If it was not for the fact that Situ Hou was present, he would not have been able to hold himself back from killing Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian’s appearance attracted everyone’s attention, dimming everything in the surrounding.

As Duan Ling Tian stood in between Situ Hang and Situ Hou, he closed his eyes to attain mental composure and quietly waited for the appearance of Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect. He was extremely calm as though the person challenging Lady Feng was not him.

“Sect Leader!”

“Sect Leader!”

People began to cry out in unison, causing Duan Ling Tian to open his eyes immediately.

In just one glance, he saw a beautiful, graceful, and elegant woman coming from the distant sky in the company of an old man and an old woman. When she walked past, the disciples from Drift Blaze Sect greeted her courteously. Their voices were filled with respect.

The beautiful woman’s face was stunning. Although she exuded a cold aura that caused others to be unable to meet her eyes, one had to admit she was indeed beautiful.

If she was ten years younger, she would definitely be a rare beauty.

“She’s Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect,” Situ Hang whispered to Duan Ling Tian at this moment.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. After studying Zi Yun from top to bottom, his heart jolted. “This is the female Martial Cultivator who’s invincible in the entire Windfall Nation, apart from the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family?”

Even now, Duan Ling Tian still found it hard to believe that such a beautiful and stunning woman could hold up the entire Drift Blaze Sect with just her strength alone, making Drift Blaze Sect a famous seventh-rate sect in Windfall Nation.

Duan Ling Tian had to admit he sincerely admired Zi Yun.

The moment Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, appeared, she instantly attracted everyone’s attention away from Duan Ling Tian.

“Sect Leader Zi Yun!”

“Sect Leader Zi Yun!”

At this moment, the guests from various forces took the initiative to greet Zi Yun. Their voices with respect. Even the few Saint Stage powerhouses, including Old Man Yin from Skywreck Sect, were no exceptions.

After the guests from the various forces greeted Zi Yun, Situ Hang and Situ Hou also greeted her, “Sect Leader Zi Yun!”

When faced with Situ Hang and Situ Hou, she merely nodded at them in response.

Situ Hang and Situ Hou were not offended by this since Zi Yun treated everyone the same way.

Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to greet Zi Yun after Situ Hang and Situ Hou had done so, Zi Yun looked at him and asked, “You must be Master Duan, the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan?”

“I’m Duan Ling Tian. Good day, Sect Leader Zi Yun.” Duan Ling Tian cupped his hands together to pay his respect. His actions were polite and courteous.

“Duan Ling Tian? So he’s called Duan Ling Tian!” Almost everyone present on the scene finally learned of Duan Ling Tian’s name.

After all, prior to this, apart from the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, the Great Young Master, and Situ Hou, no one in Windfall Nation knew his full name.

Whether it was the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, the Great Young Master or Situ Hou, all of them were very respectful toward him. It was only natural for them to not address him by his name.

Due to this reason, this was the first time Duan Ling Tian’s name was publicly announced in Windfall Nation.

“Duan Ling Tian… Ling Tian… What a ridiculous name! I hope his strength lives up to his name!” Many Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples snorted.

“Although this is my first time meeting you, Master Duan, I’ve long heard about what you’ve done… Since the Great Young Master of Situ Clan is here safe and sound, it’s more than enough to prove the rumors are not baseless! You really have the ability to revive the dead, Master Duan,” Zi Yun said. Although her voice was very calm, there was a hint of emotion in it. It was no longer as calm as before.

The moment Zi Yun finished speaking, the others shifted their attention back to Duan Ling Tian again.

That was right!

Due to Duan Ling Tian issuing a challenge to Lady Feng of Drift Blaze Sect, they seemed to have forgotten Duan Ling Tian had saved Situ Hang whom the Four Star Saint Inscription Masters from the Imperial Family deemed incurable.

Duan Ling Tian might not seem like he was extraordinary in regards to his cultivation base, but it seemed like he had magic hands that could bring a patient back to life!

When these people looked at Duan Ling Tian again, hints of respect could be seen in their eyes.

Put aside his cultivation base, just his ability to be able to bring a patient back to life was more than deserving of their respect.

“You flatter me, Sect Leader Zi Yun. I’m merely lucky enough to be able to help Young Master Hang solve his problem.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head when he heard Zi Yun’s words.

This was indeed the truth.

After all, if he did not happen to recognize the Devil Inscription on Situ Hang and also know the way to break the Inscription, he would not have been able to save Situ Hang.
