War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“After all, Duan Ling Tian did not attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation on his own… He must not be prepared for it!”

“Under such circumstances, it’s unlikely for him to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation even if he’s able to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!”

“It’s true that he’ll become stronger after transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior but the increase in power is limited. I believe he has more than 80 percent chance of passing the Heavenly Tribulation if he attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation on his own. However, since that’s not the case, regardless of your opinion, I think he’ll fail!”

“I agree. I’m not optimistic about his chance of successfully passing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.”

At this moment, almost no one from the Three Palace and Six Halls thought Duan Ling Tian would be able to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. After all, they did not know anyone in the Devil Clans who had passed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation under such circumstances. All of them failed their Heavenly Tribulation miserably in the end so they did not think highly of Duan Ling Tian’s chances of passing it.

While people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls were discussing the likelihood of Duan Ling Tian failing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, Ke’er looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes that were filled with blind faith.

“Brother Ling Tian… I believe you’ll be able to successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation!” Ke’er desperately wished for Duan Ling Tian to pass the Heavenly Tribulation, not only for her sake, but for her daughter and sister as well. Naturally, if anything happened to her man, she did not plan to live as well. She would accompany her man on his journey to the netherworld.

“Father.” Duan Si Ling looked at Duan Ling Tian anxiously. Her face had been tense for quite a while now.

Meanwhile, complex emotions could be seen swirling in Gan Ru Yan’s eyes. Her thoughts were a secret.

Peng Lai was looking at Duan Ling Tian with hopeful eyes. He thought to himself, ‘I hope that master is able to create a miracle and set a precedent in the Devil Clans. After all, master is also a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior! HopefUlty^ be able to pass the Heavenly Tribulation…”

In a distance, hope could also be seen in the eyes of the most beautiful woman in the Human-Devil clan, Huang Wen Jing, as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. She was also the last direct disciple of Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. It seemed as though she had forgotten that if Duan Ling Tian successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation and became an Eminent Celestial, her master would likely die. If Duan Ling Tian failed the Heavenly Tribulation, things would go well for Yuwen Hao Chen. However, if Duan Ling Tian succeeded, Yuwen Hao Chen would definitely not be a match for Duan Ling Tian. At that time, Duan Ling Tian would still be able to transform into a Nine- clawed Dragon Warrior, but Yuwen Hao Chen would have lost his trump card by using it to overcome Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Based on this, one could see Yuwen Hao Chen would be in a disadvantageous position if he and Duan Ling Tian passed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

Yun Fu Ye, Huang Wen Jing’s Senior Brother, who was standing not too far away sneered as he said, “I’m really eager to see how many lightning bolts Duan Ling Tian can endure!” In his opinion, there was no way Duan Ling Tian would be able to live.

Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, glared at Duan Ling Tian before shifting his gaze to Yuwen Hao Chen. A hint of disappointment could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Yuwen Hao Chen. He thought to himself, ‘It’s a pity Yuwen Hao Chen didn’t use his inherited technique to kill Duan Ling Tian. If he did, Duan Ling Tian would die and Yuwen Hao Chen might not successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation. It’s also unfortunate that I can’t kill Duan Ling Tian with my own hands. However, I’ll be satisfied as long as he dies. It can be considered that I’ve indirectly avenged my direct disciple. I’ll watch as he gets killed by the tribulation lightning.’

Naturally, it was a win-win situation for Shi Nan Feng if Yuwen Hao Chen had used the inherited technique to kill Duan Ling Tian. One of them would die and the other might fail the Heavenly Tribulation. He was overjoyed when he thought about Duan Ling Tian being killed by the tribulation lightning, but he became annoyed when he thought about Yuwen Hao Chen successfully passing the Heavenly Tribulation and becoming an Eminent Celestial. Insatiable greed! These words described him perfectly.

“How many more tribulation lightning do you think Duan Ling Tian will be able to endure?”

As Duan Ling Tian and Yu Wen Hao Chen waited for the 71st tribulation lightning, the members of Three Palaces and Six Halls could not resist but gossip among themselves again. Most of them were discussing how many bolts of tribulation lightning Duan Ling Tian would be able to resist before he died.

“Earlier, I saw Duan Ling Tian was somewhat struggling to deal with the 70th tribulation lightning… My guess is that he’ll transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior when he has to face the 72nd or 73rd bolt tribulation lightning!” An elder from Azure Sheen Hall guessed.

“72nd or 73rd bolt of tribulation lightning?” An elder from Crimson Blaze Palace chimed in, “I think he’ll transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior when he’s facing the 71st tribulation lightning!”

“I agree. I saw him struggling as well when he was dealing with the 70th bolt of tribulation lightning just now.”

You’re right.”

Most people agreed with the Crimson Blaze Palace elder’s words.

Tribulation Clouds continued to converge until it covered the entire Wandering Saint Palace’s estate. It was dark in the Wandering Saint Palace. Under such a condition, two people were attempting to pass their Heavenly Tribulation, the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!

These two people attempting to overcome their Heavenly Tribulations successfully attracted the attention of many people. Most of them were members from the Three Palace and Six Halls of the Human-devil clan. Apart from the leaders of one Palace and Six Halls, the remaining high-ranking officials from the Three Palaces and Six Halls were all present. All of them accompanied Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen in waiting for their 71st bolt of tribulation lightning to strike.

All of these people were, naturally, standing below the Tribulations Clouds. However, two people were hovering above the Tribulation Clouds. They were none other than the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan and an old man. The old man’s identity was extremely impressive. He was the master of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, a powerhouse who was even stronger than an Eminent Celestial. Currently, both of them were monitoring the two people undergoing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation through the Tribulation Clouds.

Both of them were focused on the purple-clad young man, they did not pay much attention to the other person.

Something feels weird. It’s as though someone is observing me. Moreover, it feels like there’s more than just one person!’ Duan Ling Tian who was waiting for the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning to strike could feel the gazes from the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan and his master. However, after checking his surroundings with his Divine Consciousness, he did not find anything amiss. ‘Maybe I am mistaken.’ After a while, he gave up searching and continued to prepare for the arrival of the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself in an attempt to console himself, “The Celestial Ascension Tribulation is really scary! I used almost all my strength just to deal with the 70th bolt of tribulation lightning earlier. I’m afraid I’ll need to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior after two or three more bolts of tribulation lightning.’

It’s fortunate no one could read Duan Ling Tian’s mind. Otherwise, they would definitely feel surprised since Duan Ling Tian was confident he could deal with two or three more bolts of tribulation lightning before having to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior…

A commonly known fact was the bolts of tribulation lightning after the 70th bolt of tribulation lightning were a lot more powerful.

Time’s up,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after waiting for a moment. By this time, he had grasped the timing of the tribulation lightning. After all, he had already faced 70 bolts of tribulation lightning. For this reason, he could accurately predict the coming of the next tribulation lightning.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished thinking to himself, a blindingly white light flashed in the sky again, illuminating the darkened place beneath the Tribulations Clouds. It caused many cultivators with a lower cultivation base to squint their eyes.

Boom!

A thunderous sound that seemed capable of shattering the sky sounded after the flash of blinding light. Those with a weaker cultivation base who were squinting their eyes earlier injured their eardrums, causing them to bleed from their ears. Some of them were even bleeding from all of their orifices.

The combined sounds of two bolts of tribulation lightning are really terrifying!’ Many high-ranking officials from the Three Palaces and Six Halls thought to themselves.

Swish!

Swish!

Two pillar-like lightning struck down instantly after the deafening clap of thunder rang in the air.

The two bolts of lightning made their way to Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen respectively. It looked extremely horrifying as though it would strike them to death.

“It’s finally here!” Duan Ling Tian was already prepared for the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. His Saint Origin circulated around his 99 Saint Veins before it surged out his body and resonated with heaven and earth. It seemed that it took only an hour for Duan Ling Tian to return to the peak of his strength!
