War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian had run into three people along the way. One of them attacked him upon discovering he was not even 100 years old. Alas, that person was killed by him. The other two had witnessed his strength when he fought the Second Prince of Southern Qi Nation so they did not dare to engage him in a fight. In fact, they had thought he would definitely kill them. However, since they did not act against him, he did not bother with them. It was of utmost importance that he arrived at the Celestial Lord Temple that he suspected was created by the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord as soon as possible. There must be many treasures and fortuitous encounters there.

After leaving the forest, Duan Ling Tian arrived at a vast and seemingly boundless plain. He had traveled for three days and was flying over a mountain range when he heard the sounds from an ongoing battle. A loud and pompous voice rang in the air. When he heard the words, his expression turned grim, and he descended immediately.

“Huang Jia Chao, you’re no match for me! Die!” These words prompted Duan Ling Tian to make a detour into the mountains.

Duan Ling Tian saw two figures in the midst of a fearsome battle soon after he descended. The loud and pompous voice clearly belonged to the young man who held the upper hand in the battle. His opponent who was at a disadvantage was none other than Huang Jia Chao, the fifth son of Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City in the Supporting Fall Nation. Huang Jia Chao was also Huang Jia Long’s brother.

As Duan Ling Tian drew close to the duo, he deliberately released his aura. The duo was quick to discover his presence and broke away from each other immediately.

“B-brother Duan?!” Huang Jia Chao who thought he was going to die did not expect his brother’s good friend to suddenly appear at the critical moment. Hope instantly rose in his heart; he was delighted.

‘Brother Duan?’ Huang Jia Chao’s opponent was a young man who was dressed in a fine robe. He looked at Duan Ling Tian who had interrupted his battle. When realization dawned on him, his eyes widened, and his expression changed drastically. ‘I-isn’t he the genius sectless cultivator from the Supporting Fall Nation, Duan Ling Tian? H-he had easily defeated the Xue Jing Yu, the Second Prince of the Southern Qi Nation, before we entered the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, right?’

With these thoughts in mind, the young man dressed in fine robes did not waste any time and tried to flee. His body flashed away in just a blink of an eye. Alas, before he could get far, a figure appeared like a phantom before him, barring his path. The person who had stopped him was none other than Duan Ling Tian.

Although Duan Ling Tian had no conflict with the young man, he could not just stand aside and watch this person kill Huang Jia Long’s younger brother.

“Duan Ling Tian, d-did I offend you?” The young man’s eyes were brimming with fear and his face was pale as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. His hands that were tightly clenched were drenched in sweat. He was not even a match for Xue Jing Yu, the Second Prince of the Southern Qi Nation. How could he hope to defend himself against someone who had easily defeated Xue Jing Yu? Moreover, based on Duan Ling Tian’s speed, it was clear that Duan Ling Tian was leagues above him.

Duan Ling Tian did not bother replying to the young man. As soon as the young man finished speaking, he struck at lightning speed with his long rod.

The young man was killed before he could even react. Even if he had time to defend himself, he still would not stand a chance against Duan Ling Tian who had used his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the law of earth’s Earth Elemental Profundity to cast the Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability, the Immobilization King Method and the Eastern Purple Qi. How could a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had not comprehended any law defend himself against such an attack?

“Are you alright?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile when Huang Jia Chao approached him.

“I’m fine.” Huang Jia Chao shook his head “Thank goodness you appeared in time, Brother Duan. Otherwise, I would’ve been killed by Xia Hou Ji.” Lingering fear could be seen on his face when he spoke.

“Xia Hou Ji? Do you know him prior to this?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously. Based on the words he had heard earlier, it seemed Xia Hou Yi, the young man, was acquainted with Huang Chao Jia. Otherwise, Xia Hou Yi’s would not be laden with so much animosity when he had spoken earlier.

“Of course. We had a huge conflict. To be precise, he had a huge conflict with my brother, and I got involved as well,” Huang Jia Chao said with a wry smile.

“Jia Long?” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. He knew Huang Jia Chao was referring to Huang Jia Long when he mentioned his brother earlier.

Although Huang Jia Chao had other elder brothers as well, they were much older than him and rarely spent time together. He would not address his brothers in such a casual manner, with the exception being Huang Jia Long.

Duan Ling Tian did not want to waste any time if it were not necessary so he quickly continued on his journey to the Celestial Lord Temple. Since Huang Jia Chao was his good friend’s younger brother, it was only natural that he brought Huang Jia Chao along with him.

“The Celestial Lord Temple?” Huang Jia Chao was shocked when Duan Ling Tian told him about the Celestial Lord Temple. It was obvious he had never heard of it before.

“Those who obtained 10 points will be shown the way to the Celestial Lord Temple?” Huang Jia Long muttered to himself. All of a sudden, his eyes lit up, “That’s it! No wonder some Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who came out from the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm previously found items in their Spatial Rings they couldn’t remember obtaining! Moreover, some of them couldn’t even remember how they obtained some of their points! It seems like there’s a Formation that can erase the memories of people who have obtained 10 points and entered the Celestial Lord Temple! I’m pretty sure I’m right since nobody has ever heard of the Celestial Temple. I’m afraid my memories will be erased as well since you’ve told me about the Celestial Lord Temple. I probably won’t be able to remember meeting you.”

“That’s very likely.” Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly. Then, he looked at Huang Jia Chao and asked, “Jia Chao, how many points have you accumulated so far?”

“Three points,” Huang Jia Chao said with a sheepish smile, “I was fortunate enough to meet two average peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials with one point each. What about you, Brother Duan?”

“Me? Before I killed that man, I’ve already accumulated 16 points…” Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness into his Accumulative Points Jade as he replied, “Now, I have 21 points. I didn’t expect him to have accumulated five points.”

Although Huang Jia Chao had a feeling Duan Ling Tian’s points would not be low, he was still shocked when he heard the number of points Duan Ling Tian had obtained. 21 points!

“That Xia Hou Ji would have accumulated eight points if he had killed me. Unfortunately, he met you, Brother Duan.” Huang Jia Chao sighed in relief when he recalled his close brush with death. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and solemnly said, “Brother Duan, I know you saved me because you’re good friends with my brother. Nonetheless, I’m still grateful and deeply indebted to you. I’ll definitely repay you in the future, Brother Duan!” His eyes flashed with determination when he spoke.

Duan Ling Tian only smiled in response. After a while, he recalled something and said, “Jia Chao, I’m not sure you can enter the Celestial Lord Temple. During our journey, I’ll kill the people we encounter, and you can collect their points. We need to make sure you have 10 points, at least, to ensure you’ll be able to enter the Celestial Lord Temple. We’ll need to do it fast.”

“T-this is inappropriate… How can I claim the points when you do all the work?” Although Huang Jia Chao was tempted, he shook his head and rejected Duan Ling Tian’s suggestion. “Brother Duan, I know you want to help me, but it’s my wish that you rank first in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.”

“Just do as I say.” Duan Ling Tian insisted vehemently.

Huang Jia Chao smiled helplessly. He was extremely moved.

In order to help Huang Jia Chao accumulate enough points, Duan Ling Tian was no longer merciful. He would even kill those who did not provoke him. After killing a few people, he managed to obtain 10 points for Huang Jia Chao.

“I… I can sense the guiding force now,” Huang Jia Chao said.

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly.

As they made their way to the Celestial Lord Temple, Duan Ling Tian did not hold back and killed a few more people to accumulate points for himself.

Those who entered the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm knew they were putting their lives at risk when they entered the realm. However, those whom Duan Ling Tian killed were resentful and filled with grievances. After all, Duan Ling Tian was so powerful that they did not even have a chance to defend themselves at all!
