War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Xie Zong knew instantly that Duan Ling Tian was the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Worship Sect when he saw the flaming wings on Duan Ling Tian’s back. Although he had seen the portrait of Duan Ling Tian from the Fire Worship Sect, Duan Ling Tian’s appearance was completely different from earlier and when he was in the Azure Cloud Mansion. Moreover, the people from the Fire Worship Sect even confirmed Duan Ling Tian was not in a disguise.

However, Xie Zong had just personally witnessed Duan Ling Tian disguising himself with a Mystical Secret Tactic. It was not difficult for him to guess that Duan Ling Tian had also disguised himself in the Fire Worship Sect even though he used the same name.

“I didn’t expect you to be able to guess that I’m Duan Ling Tian from the Fire Worship Sect just by looking at my two Divine Abilities.”

If Xie Zong still could not piece the puzzle together after Duan Ling Tian cast two of his Divine Abilities, then he must be extremely ignorant or stupid.

Xie Zong had taken a little longer to realize this because the news of Duan Ling Tian, the prodigy from the Fire Worship Sect, being a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior had not spread out yet. Even if word of it leaked out, not many people believed it. Therefore the news died down before it gained any momentum. After all, a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was like a mythical creature. It was only natural people were skeptical.

If news of Duan Ling Tian from the Fire Worship Sect being a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior had spread out, Xie Zong would have been able to make the connection that the Duan Ling Tian from the Fire Worship Sect was the same Duan Ling Tian from the Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province whom he had snatched the Devilseal Tablet from.

“I didn’t expect this either!” Xie Zong’s eyes turned cold as he said in a deep voice, “If I knew you would grow so strong in such a short time, I wouldn’t have shown mercy back when I was in the Azure Cloud Mansion!”

Duan Ling Tian laughed when he heard Xie Zong’s words. “Show mercy? Xie Zong, if my memory serves me well, you didn’t kill my back then because you’re wary of my status as Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, right? Moreover, with my innate talent, you didn’t think I’ll be able to catch up to you. Otherwise, would you have shown mercy? How funny!”

Duan Ling Tian’s words exposed Xie Zong’s thoughts back then. It caused Xie Zong’s expression to change.

Duan Ling Tian asked, “Don’t you regret not killing me back then?” When he saw the various expressions flitting across Xie Zong’s face and how quiet he was, he continued to say, “Are you thinking that if you had killed me back then, I won’t be standing here now? It’s too bad there’s no cure for regret. Today, I will fulfill my promise and kill you to avenge Elder Ku and the ten Black Armored Guards from the Azure Cloud Mansion.” His voice turned thunderous as he spoke.

“Regret?” Duan Ling Tian’s thunderous voice caused Xie Zong to snap back to reality. He quickly regained his composure. He sneered as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, don’t you think you’re overestimating yourself? I’ll admit that you’re quite strong. However, it’s still uncertain which one of us is stronger. Are you so certain of your victory?” Xie Zong chuckled after he finished speaking.

“You’ll see soon enough if I win or not!” Duan Ling Tian decided not to waste words with Xie Zong any longer, and he began to make his move. He flapped his Golden Crow’s Wings.

In the next moment…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of air explosions rang in the air as Duan Ling Tian’s body moved. He vanished from his spot and charged toward Xie Zong at an extremely fast speed. His speed was comparable to powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

“I’d like to see how strong is the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Worship Sect!” Xie Zong said indifferently. He was fearless when faced with Duan Ling Tian who was charging toward him at lightning speed. The Saint Origin that he had been accumulating surged out of his body in an instant.

In the next moment, Xie Zong shot up into the sky quickly. His speed was not any slower than Duan Ling Tian’s speed. Currently, he had also cast an assist-type Divine Ability and a movement Divine Ability. That was why his speed was so fast.

‘Not too long ago he was just like an ant before me. Currently, he’s as strong as I am…’ Xie Zong thought to himself. When he discovered Duan Ling Tian’s speed was not any slower than his speed, his heart sank and his expression turned gloomier and gloomier.

After all, Duan Ling Tian had not even transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior yet. Once he transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, his speed would be further enhanced. It was not impossible for Duan Ling Tian to surpass Xie Zong at that time.

‘Damn it! How did Duan Ling Tian master these two powerful high-grade Divine Abilities in such a short time? Moreover, he has also mastered a high-grade offensive Divine Ability and a high-grade defensive Divine Ability!’

‘The high-grade defensive Divine Ability that he has mastered has to be the number one defensive Divine Ability in the Fire Worship Sect, the Black Turtle’s Barrier!’ Xie Zong felt annoyed when he thought of this.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised when he saw Xie Zong’s speed. ‘He’s indeed worthy of being the son of the Golden Lion King, one of Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas… Although Xie Zong has just entered the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, in terms of speed, Bu Hong who’s at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is inferior to him!’

Duan Ling Tian knew Xie Zong had also cast a high-grade movement Divine Ability. As for the assist-type Divine Ability Xie Zong had cast, it seemed like it was only a medium-grade Divine Ability.

“Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!” Although Duan Ling Tian did not plan to use the Jasper Celestial Sword to kill Xie Zong with just one move, it did not mean he would not use other means at his disposal. When he discovered Xie Zong was as fast he was, he instantly transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. In just a blink of an eye, he turned into a humanoid dragon. His head was human but his body was that of a dragon. This was the form of a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.

‘There’s no need for me to hide anything now. Today, I’ll teach Xie Zong the meaning of despair!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he unleashed the full power of a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was using all the moves he had in his arsenal except for the Jasper Celestial Sword.

Earlier, Duan Ling Tian’s speed was on par with Xie Zong. Now that he had transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, his speed became even faster. He had completely surpassed Xie Zong.

Duan Ling Tian shouted, “Xie Zong!” He charged toward Xie Zong quickly, closing the distance between them.

“Damn it!” Xie Zong spat out when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s enhanced speed. He knew he had no advantage when it came to speed. Therefore, he decided to stop moving. After that, he raised one of his hands and a seven-foot-long spear appeared in his hand.

Weng!

When the long spear moved, it stirred the air around it. It emitted a piercing aura. The aura clearly did not belong to an ordinary Saint Weapon!

“A Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon!” Duan Ling Tian cried out immediately. He did not expect a mere Black Kshetra Sect elder at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would possess a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon. After a while, he realized he was being naive. Xie Zong was the only son of the Golden Lion King after all. As one of the Four Great Karmapas in the Black Kshetra Sect, it would not be difficult for him to obtain a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon for his son.

“I didn’t think you’ll be able to recognize a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon.” Xie Zong sneered as he spun the long spear around as his Saint Origin skyrocketed.

At this moment, Xie Zong unleashed all his strength, including the martial tactics and Divine Abilities he had mastered with the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon in his hand!

Boom!

Xie Zong thrust the long spear forward as the sounds of explosion rang in the air, overwhelming all other noises.

Xiu!

Almost at the same time, a short-lived sword cry rang in the air. The gleam of a sword could be seen soaring through the sky toward the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Spear.

When Duan Ling Tian made his move, Xie Zong caught a brief glimpse of the sword gleam.

“A Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword!”

With Xie Zong’s Spiritual Eyes, it was easy for him to discern that Duan Ling Tian’s sword was extraordinary. He could sense an aura from the sword that was similar to his Thousand Inscriptions Saint Spear. That was how he instantly knew Duan Ling Tian had a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword.

Xie Zong’s expression changed drastically when he discovered Duan Ling Tian had a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword. He thought he would have an advantage since he possessed a superior weapon.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang in the air as the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword clashed with the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Spear. The forces contained in the weapons clashed, causing explosions in the air.

The sound of the forces from the weapons clashing was nothing compared to the sound of metal clashing.

After a few moments, Xie Zong fell into a disadvantageous position. He was affected by the forces from the Saint Weapons clashing. He was sent flying back. When he landed, his face was pale as he threw up a mouthful of blood. The sight of his blood splattering in the sky was dazzling and eye-catching!
