War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Murong Xiao Xiao did not answer Li Yuan and made a move instead.

Swoosh!

Murong Xiao Xiao’s figure flashed out of sight. In just a blink of an eye, she reappeared on one of the two second-highest stone blocks.

Currently, the two second-highest stone blocks in Time Valley had been claimed by Ling Jue Yun and Murong Xiao Xiao.

“What…” Li Yuan was perplexed. He did not expect this. “Xiao Xiao, you… You’re not going to claim the highest seat?” When he finished speaking, he raised his head to look at the highest stone block.

At this moment, the highest stone block that was 100 meters above him was empty. However, soon enough, Li Yuan saw a purple figure flying onto the highest stone block. When he finally had a good look at the purple figure’s face, his eyes lit up in recognition as he exclaimed, “It’s him!”

Wang Xian, who was standing next to Li Yuan, had also seen Duan Ling Tian. He said, clearly dissatisfied, “He’s not even 100 years old! How dare he claim the highest spot?”

A stunned expression could be seen on Li Yuan’s face as he asked, “Xiao Xiao, you… Did you deliberately relinquish the highest spot to him?”

In Li Yuan’s opinion, among everyone present on the scene, Murong Xiao Xiao was the only one who was qualified to occupy the highest stone block. He was furious when he thought about her deliberately giving up the best seat to someone else.

Murong Xiao Xiao continued to ignore Li Yuan. She sat cross-legged and closed her eyes. Soon enough, a blue energy shrouded her entire body, making her look as though she had been submerged in water. She was already beautiful, to begin with. However, with the blue cast from the energy, she looked even more enchanting.

Normally, Li Yuan would have been entranced by this sight. However, he was incensed at this moment so he did not have the mood to appreciate Murong Xiao Xiao’s beauty. His expression turned even more unsightly when he saw her ignoring him.

Boom!

Li Yuan stomped his feet in the air and shot up to the highest stone block at lightning speed.

Many of the participants’ attention was drawn by Li Yuan’s action, and they began to discuss among themselves.

“Something’s about to happen!”

“Since Murong Xiao Xiao had taken the initiative to speak to that purple-clad young man, it’s obvious he’s not an ordinary person.”

“Perhaps, he’s stronger than Murong Xiao Xiao… It’d explain why Murong Xiao Xiao didn’t fight him for the highest seat…”

“That’s not necessarily true… He’s a pretty boy no matter how you look at him. Maybe Murong Xiao Xiao let him have that place due to his looks?”

“That’s not important. The important thing is he seems to be less than 100 years old!”

“Less than 100 years old?”

“Heavens! He made it so far even though he’s less than 100 years old? That’s insane!”

“When I was his age, I hadn’t even broken through and become an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, let alone comprehending a profundity from a law. Where did this purple-clad young man come from? He’s really terrifying!”

“No matter how strong he is, he’s still less than 100 years old. It’s impossible for him to defeat Li Yuan!”

“That’s not necessarily true… Murong Xiao Xiao took the initiative to speak to him earlier so she might help him. Moreover, it seems like she had relinquished the highest seat to him. It stands to reason she’d help him keep the seat.”

“Who knows? Maybe this person has an amazing background. He might come from the force that supports the Murong Clan. Maybe that’s why Murong Xiao Xiao willingly relinquished the seat to him.”

Meanwhile, the four men who were still in shock over Duan Ling Tian’s statement of killing Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun were further shocked.

“He… He went straight to the highest point?”

“It seems like Murong Xiao Xiao has no intention of fighting him for the highest stone block…”

“Murong Xiao Xiao spoke to him earlier… Perhaps, she had done that because she knows he’s stronger than her?”

“If I’m not mistaken, Ou Ya arrived with him. Since Ou Ya and Murong Xiao Xiao are good friends, Ou Ya must have revealed what she knows about Duan Ling Tian to Murong Xiao Xiao.”

“There’s a chance Ou Ya had witnessed him killing Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun.”

“I still find it difficult to believe he killed Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun with just a strike.”

“Well, Li Yuan obviously intends to fight him for the highest stone block. We’ll be able to see soon enough if he truly has the strength to kill Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun with just a strike…”

“Li Yuan is stronger than Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun. He has comprehended two profundities from the law of fire, the Fire Elemental Profundity and the Burst Profundity…”

“The Burst Profundity is the most powerful profundity from the law of fire… With this profundity, his strength is stronger than Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun, let alone the few of us.”

Based on their conversation, it was clear the four men seemed very familiar with Li Yuan’s strength.

“Among all the people in Time Valley, only Murong Xiao Xiao is stronger than Li Yuan… Her comprehension of the law of water is much higher than Li Yuan’s comprehension of the law of fire, after all!”

“I’m really curious if this purple-clad young man is as strong as he said he is since he said he killed Sima Chun and Dongfang Jin Lun in seconds.”

When Li Yuan arrived at the highest point, he looked at Duan Ling Tian who was sitting on the stone block coldly and said, “Brat, get lost!”

Duan Ling Tian had already noticed when Li Yuan flew up here. His expression darkened when he heard Li Yuan’s words. He said indifferently in a bone-chilling tone, “I’ll give you a chance… Get out of my sight immediately. Otherwise, you’ll have to stay in the Celestial Lord Temple and the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm forever!”

Duan Ling Tian’s voice was not low at all so everyone heard his words clearly.

Duan Ling Tian’s words, naturally, caused a commotion.

People like Xue Jing Yu and Ou Ya who had seen Duan Ling Tian kill Dongfang Jin Lun with a single strike were not surprised. Naturally, they did not doubt his ability to kill Li Yuan.

Li Yuan might be stronger than Dongfang Jin Lun, but he was only slightly stronger. Even if Li Yuan fought Dongfang Jin Lun, it was not guaranteed that he would be able to defeat Dongfang Jin Lun. Even if one was stronger, if one’s strength was not significantly stronger than one’s opponent, one’s victory was not guaranteed.

Meanwhile, when Wang Xian heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he thought Duan Ling Tian had a death wish. However, when he saw Ou Ya did not seem surprised after hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, he began to feel uncertain. He recalled how Murong Xiao Xiao had taken the initiative to speak to Duan Ling Tian, and a thought that made him sweat appeared in his mind. ‘Is it… Is it possible that he’s stronger than Ou Ya and Murong Xiao Xiao? Did Murong Xiao Xiao try to curry favor with him earlier so she could have a small share of whatever treasures he obtains? After all, once Murong Xiao Xiao learned we would be comprehending the law of time here and there are no treasures to fight over here, she gave up on talking to him…’

Wang Xian inhaled sharply. The more he thought about it, the more certain he was that his speculation was correct. The first thought that appeared in his mind after this revelation was to warn Li Yuan.

Alas, before Wang Xian could send a Voice Transmission to Li Xuan, Li Xuan had already mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy, causing his body to burst into flames. Flames danced on his body as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian.

Swoosh!

As Li Yuan flew toward Duan Ling Tian, the air was lit up by the flames. A faint burnt smell permeated the air.

“Idiot!” At this moment, a faint voice rang from one of the two second-highest seats. It was none other than Ling Jue Yun who had spat out this insult. His expression was indifferent as he watched Li Yuan flying toward Duan Ling Tian. In his opinion, Li Yuan was truly an idiot for attacking Duan Ling Tian. Li Yuan’s action was akin to courting death. After all, Duan Ling Tian who possessed an artifact could easily kill anyone in the Celestial Lord Temple.

Murong Xiao Xiao turned to look at Ling Jue Yun when she heard him speaking. She instinctively extended her Divine Consciousness to probe him. ‘He’s less than 100 years old just like Duan Ling Tian? That’s right… I remember he arrived in Time Valley with Duan Ling Tian and Sister Ou Ya earlier…’

At this moment, a short-lived sword cry rang in Time Valley. It sounded like death itself!
