War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

In the end, Sima Chun decided to stop attacking since it was futile. Regardless of how hard he tried, he failed to breach Duan Ling Tian’s defense.

“I’ve underestimated you,” Sima Chun said before he turned his back on Duan Ling Tian and began to walk away.

“Did I say you’re free to go?” Duan Ling Tian scoffed. His eyes narrowed as his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the law of earth’s Earth Elemental Profundity spiked. His domineering aura spread to his surroundings immediately.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Sima Chun stopped in his tracks. He turned back and looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly. He said arrogantly, “I admit your defenses are so impressive that I couldn’t breach them and kill you. Nonetheless, I’m much faster than you. How do you think you’re going to kill me? It’d be easy for me to dodge your attacks. I can’t kill you, but you can’t kill me either…”

Sima Chun was very confident about his speed due to the law of wind that he had comprehended. After all, not only did he comprehend the law of wind’s Fundamental Profundity, the Wind Elemental Profundity, but he had also comprehended the Gale Profundity, which was a movement profundity.

After Sima Chun finished speaking, he no longer spared Duan Ling Tian a glance. He turned back, preparing to take off.

Duan Ling Tian coldly said, “What if I use a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?”

Duan Ling Tian’s words caused Sima Chun to pause in his tracks again. He instinctively turned back and saw the long rod in Duan Ling Tian’s hand, a King Grade Celestial Weapon, had been replaced by a crimson ring.

The crimson ring was unlike normal rings; there were nine water chestnuts of varying shapes and sizes around it. The ring’s aura was subtle, not as brilliant as the aura of a King Grade Celestial Weapon. However, as soon as Duan Ling Tian sent his Celestial Origin Energy into the crimson ring, its aura spiked and became even more formidable than that of a King Grade Celestial Weapon.

“A Royal Grade Celestial Weapon!” Even Sima Chun who was standing in the distance could clearly feel the ring’s domineering aura. Initially, he did not take Duan Ling Tian seriously when Duan Ling Tian spoke about the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Naturally, his disbelief was washed away and was replaced by shock after he sensed the ring’s aura. It was truly a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon!

‘Impossible! How did he obtain a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?! He’s only an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial!’ Sima Chun thought to himself incredulously. He found it difficult to accept that Duan Ling Tian possessed a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. This was only natural since even Sima Clan, a grade-seven clan, did not have a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Even if they possessed one, they would not dare to reveal its existence since they would not be able to protect it.

In the regions under the Profound Nether Mansion, only the Three Clans and Two Sect were powerful enough to protect a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Even then, they needed permission from the Profound Nether Mansion if they wanted to keep a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Based on this, one could see how rare Royal Grade Celestial Weapons were.

‘Run!’ This thought flashed in Sima Chun’s mind repeatedly. Although Duan Ling Tian was not as fast as him, the table had turned now that Duan Ling Tian was using a Royal Grade Weapon. He could only escape out of the range of Duan Ling Tian’s attack now. He would have a chance of surviving as long as he could outrun Duan Ling Tian. Alas, did he think Duan Ling Tian was unaware of his thoughts? Would Duan Ling Tian reveal the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon without a plan?

Sima Chun seemed to have turned into a gust of cyan wind as he fled at top speed.

“Do you think you can run away from me?” Duan Ling Tian smiled contemptuously.

“Gravitational Space Profundity!” As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell, an invisible pulling force slowed Sima Chun down before he could escape.

Bzzt!

Duan Ling Tian tossed the Royal Grade Celestial Ring that contained his Celestial Origin Energy into the air.

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

The nine water chestnuts around the ring shone brightly, and nine beams of light that seemed as sharp as a blade swept out immediately.

This ring was the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring, a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon that Duan Ling Tian was holding onto for the mysterious Brother Pei. Under normal circumstances, he would not have used the ring. However, since he was in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm now, he was certain no one would know about the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon if he used them. After all, as the saying went, ‘Dead men tell no tales’. Moreover, the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm had a Formation that prevented one from using Communication Celestial Talismans. The Formation was set up to prevent participants from teaming up too early and killing solitary participants early in the game.

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

Sima Chun could hear the buzzing noise coming from the ring as the ring gain up on him. It sounded like death was calling out to him at this moment. His stomach turned and his heart thumped wildly in his chest as he tried to escape with all his might.

‘H-he… He’s comprehended the law of earth’s Gravitational Space Profundity to such a level?” Based on the pulling force, Sima Chun could tell Duan Ling Tian was far from comprehending the Gravitational Space Profundity to the rudimentary stage. Nevertheless, he was thoroughly shocked. Duan Ling Tian had mastered three profundities from the law of earth! What kind of monster did he run into? Not only did the young man who was not even 100 years old comprehended the law of earth’s Fundamental Profundity, but he had also comprehended the law of earth’s movement profundity to the rudimentary stage and the law of earth’s third profundity! If he did not witness this and experience this for himself, he would not have believed such a monster existed in the Profound Nether Mansion!

Without the pulling force, Sima Chun might have been able to escape. Alas…

“No!”

At this moment, the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring was only a few feet away from Sima Chun. The light it emitted shone even more brightly than before.

All of a sudden, Sima Chun stopped dead in his tracks. An armor appeared on him. The gust of cyan wind surrounding his body shot into the armor. At this moment, his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Despite having braced himself for the attack, he did not think he would be able to withstand an attack from a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.

In a final struggle to stay alive, Sima Chun glared at Duan Ling Tian and threatened, “If you kill me, the Sima Clan will never let you get away!”

“Well, that depends if the Sima Clan finds out about it.” Duan Ling Tian who was standing in the distance smiled disdainfully.

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

The Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring landed on Sima Chun’s protective armor. The beams of light that were as sharp as blades pierced his armor. His protective armor managed to withstand the first and second beam of light, but the third beam of light slashed it open.

‘The Royal Grade Celestial Weapon is too powerful!’ Sima Chun could clearly feel how formidable the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon was. His defenses could not hold up against it at all. His body flashed as he tried to escape again. Unfortunately, he could not mobilize the full potential of his speed due to the gravitational pull from the Gravitational Space Profundity.

Bzzt! Bzzt Bzzt!

Sima Chun’s sudden movement had weakened his defense. In just a moment, the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring completely breached his defense.

“No!” Sima Chun cried at the top of his lungs. His voice was brimming with anger, resentment, and unwillingness. He had lost to an opponent who was as strong as him just because of a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. How could he not be resentful and unwilling? In just a blink of an eye, he fell to the ground with a loud thud. Even in death, his eyes and mouth were wide open.

As soon as Sima Chun breathed his last breath, his Accumulative Points Jade shattered. The points he had accumulated were automatically transferred to Duan Ling Tian’s Accumulative Points Jade.

Then, Duan Ling Tian claimed Sima Chun’s Spatial Ring that was hovering in the air before putting it away.

Just like that, Sima Chun, the number one genius in the Sima Clan with high innate talent and comprehension skill, was killed by Duan Ling Tian in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Duan Ling Tian’s victory was all thanks to the purely offensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon!
