War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Little Junior Brother, please show mercy,” Hu Mei said as she looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of helplessness, “There’s always a slight friction between teacher and Senior Uncle Zheng whenever they meet, but they’ve been friends for many years…”

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Upon hearing Hu Mei’s words, Nan Liu Feng grew even more irritated. He looked like the god of thunder as the lightning bolts around him flashed violently.

“Boy, hurry up!” Nan Liu Feng stirred up a thunderstorm as he stepped forward. The purple lightning bolts crackling and flashing around him looked like ferocious purple serpents baring their fangs at this moment.

Duan Ling Tian only shook his head slightly before he suddenly vanished into thin air. When he reappeared, he was only a few feet away from Nan Liu Feng.

“Teleportation Profundity?” Zheng Yi widened his eyes upon seeing this. He said to Xu Lang in shock, “Xu Lang, your disciple comprehended the law of space? How unexpected! However, the law of space is famously known for being the hardest to comprehend among the Four Supreme Laws. Your disciple isn’t even 300 years; I bet he hasn’t even comprehended two profundities from the law of space to the mastery stage, right?”

“Two profundities?” Xu Lang was slightly taken aback by Zheng Yu Yi’s words. After a moment, he shook his head and only said, “Just continue watching…”

Meanwhile, Nan Liu Feng stared at Duan Ling Tian and said gravely, “Boy, I’d like to see how strong you can be when you’re not even 300 years old. If you can’t even defeat me, it’s best that you dismiss the idea of entering the Title Temple. Not only would you embarrass yourself by doing so, but it might even cost you your life!”

Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly, “Let’s just fight…”

Duan Ling Tian’s indifference and calmness from the beginning infuriated Nan Liu Feng. It made him feel as though Duan Ling Tian was not taking him seriously. He scoffed as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian as the purple lightning bolts around him continued to flash. Although he did not think Duan Ling Tian was a match for him, apart from not using his Celestial Weapon, he did not hold back at all. He planned to swiftly gain the upper hand and suppress Duan Ling Tian.

“Is this the extent of your strength?” As soon as Nan Liu Feng made a move, Duan Ling Tian confirmed that Nan Liu Feng was even weaker than Liu Jian whom he had previously killed.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian teleported and reappeared above Nan Liu Feng. With just a thought, he confined Nan Liu Feng in a huge space.

Nan Liu Feng sneered. “Do you think you’d be able to restrain me?”

Purple lightning bolts flashed as they struck the invisible cage that Duan Ling Tian had formed around Nan Liu Feng.

The void rippled and distorted, and the cage seemed as though it was going to break under the assault from the purple lightning bolts.

After a moment, Nan Liu Feng was shocked when he discovered the cage was not damaged at all.

“Let’s end this,” Duan Ling Tian said airily before he cast all the profundities from the law of space that he had comprehended to the mastery stage.

In just a moment, nine spatial tears appeared before nine sword rays shot out toward Nan Liu Feng. The destructive force of the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity collided with Nan Liu Feng’s attack and easily overwhelmed Nan Liu Feng’s attack.

“Explode,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself.

With the Magnetic Storm Profundity, Duan Ling Tian detonated the energy of his attack, completely destroying Nan Liu Feng’s attack.

Boom!

The nine formidable sword rays from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity shot toward Nan Liu Feng, leaving nine cuts on his body before sending him flying in the air.

Bang!

Nan Liu Feng coughed before he spat out a mouthful of blood in the air. A hint of fear flashed in the depth of his eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian again. He did not expect the young man before him to be so formidable. Based on the strength Duan Ling Tian had displayed, apart from the Transportation Profundity that Duan Ling Tian did not cast, it was clear that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the others profundities from the law of space to the mastery stage!

Meanwhile, Zheng Yu Yi, The Copper Mountain Celestial Emperor and also Nan Liu Feng’s master, was equally shocked. Xu Lang’s newest disciple who was not even 300 years old had comprehended, at least, seven profundities from the law of space! Although Duan Ling Tian did not use the Transportation Profundity, there was a chance he had also comprehended it to the mastery stage. He felt his cheeks burn in embarrassment when he recalled his earlier words to Xu Lang, as though someone had slapped his face. At the same time, he was green with envy. He glared at Xu Lang and asked through gritted teeth, “Xu Lang, did you intentionally do this?”

“Intentionally?” Xu Lang was slightly taken aback by Zheng Yu Yi’s words. Then, he shook his head and said with a smile, “If I recall correctly, my third disciples and I were against your disciple fighting with my seventh disciple. You and your disciples were the ones who doubted my seventh disciple’s strength and insisted on challenging him to a duel.”

Zheng Yu Yi was rendered speechless by Xu Lang’s words. Indeed, it was his third disciple and him who insisted on the duel. Xu Lang and his disciples had tried to dissuade him and his disciple, but they paid no heed to the advice and thought Xu Lang was trying to fool them. At this moment, he realized Xu Lang and his third disciple were telling the truth. The young man who was not even 300 years old could, indeed, easily crush his third disciple!

Zheng Yu Yi gradually regained his senses after he took a deep breath. He looked at Nan Liu Feng and rebuked Nan Liu Feng. “Liu Feng, you should thank your Junior Brother Duan for showing mercy…”

In the past, Zheng Yu Yi was rather fond of Nan Liu Feng and rarely rebuked Nan Liu Feng. However, after watching Nan Liu Feng being soundly defeated by someone who was not even 300 years old, he felt that Nan Liu Feng was useless and a disgrace to him even though he knew it was an unfair comparison since Xu Lang’s newest disciple was considered a rare genius even in all 81 Devata Realms.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Duan, for showing mercy.” Although Nan Liu Feng was arrogant, he had always been respectful toward those stronger than him. His respect for Duan Ling Tian grew even more when he remembered not only was Duan Ling Tian stronger than him but Duan Ling Tian was also younger than him.

‘Xu Lang is too lucky!’ Zheng Yu Yi thought to himself. His eyes flashed with envy as he looked at Xu Lang and asked, “Xu Lang, where did you meet your seventh disciple?”

“He came to the Heavenly Pool Palace to participate in the disciple selection. Before he even became a disciple of the palace, I already had my eyes on him. After that, he decided to join me,” Xu Lang said.

Zheng Yu Yi fumed angrily upon hearing Xu Lang’s words. He would have felt better if Xu Lang had a difficult time recruiting his newest disciple. However, based on Xu Lang’s words, it seemed like it did not take much for Xu Lang to convince Duan Ling Tian to join him. He could not help but lament that he was not as lucky as Xu Lang.

“Let’s enter the Title Temple.” After a moment, Xu Lang beckoned Duan Ling Tian and the others over before leading them to the Title Temple.

At the same time, Zheng Yu Yi and his disciple, Nan Liu Feng, followed closely behind and made their way to the Title Temple as well.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian asked, “Teacher, are there Celestial Lords trying to obtain titles from the Title Temple all year round?”

Xu Lang nodded. “There are always Celestial Lords trying to obtain titles in the Title Temple. On the other hand, for Celestial Emperors, they would have to wait before they could compete with each other to obtain a title. It’s also for this reason that there are many Celestial Emperors who are unwilling to obtain a title from the Title Temple. Apart from that, for both Celestial Emperors and Celestial Lords who wished to obtain titles, the participants during the test set by the Title Temple aren’t limited to those from the same Devata Realm. This means, not only will you be competing with people from the Boundless Heaven but people from other Devata Realms as well.”

It was only at this time that Duan Ling Tian learned his opponents would be from different Devata Realms.

Xu Lang continued to explain, “Usually, most of the Celestial Lords who want to obtain a title are Eight Trigrams Celestial Lords, Nine Palaces Celestial Lords, or Ten Directions Celestial Lords. Whether it’s due to a lack of confidence because they feel the laws they comprehended were not remarkable, it’s rare for those with cultivation bases lower than those I mentioned to try to obtain a title. However, it’s more than possible for someone who has comprehended at least five profundities from ordinary elemental laws to obtain a title even if he or she is just a One Basic Celestial Lord.”

Xu Lang paused for a moment before he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Just because the opponents you met in the Heavenly Pool Palace have comprehended most of the profundities from a law to the mastery stage at a young age, you shouldn’t assume that’s the case for the others. After all, the Heavenly Pool Palace is a heaven-grade force; it’s only natural that our prodigious disciples are highly talented in the Boundless Heaven. In reality, there are many Ten Directions Celestial Lords who haven’t even comprehended one profundity to the mastery stage. Perhaps, there are only a few who managed to comprehend one or two profundities to the mastery stage.”

Duan Ling Tian fell silent and mulled over Xu Lang’s words. According to Xu Lang, a One Basic Celestial Lord had almost similar chances as a Ten Directions Celestial Lord in obtaining a title. This was because the latter’s level of comprehension of a law could be the same, or even inferior, as the former.
