War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4478 Demi Saint

Hu Fei Yan and Zhong Yue saw Leng Jing and the other three men panting heavily with ashen faces. Blood could be seen on the corners of their lips. It was obvious that they were seriously injured. On the contrary, the purple-clad young man standing across from them was only a little pale, and his doppelganger was slightly transparent, looking as though it might vanish at any moment.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the people in front of him and sighed inwardly. ‘I’m not a peerless top advanced Supreme God yet so I can’t thoroughly defeat them…’

Duan Ling Tian did not hold back much of his own strength, which excluded the Five Divine Elements and the Divine Tree of Life, when he attacked earlier. He did not use his other doppelgangers since his other laws had yet to reach the perfect form. If he had used them, they would not be different from cannon fodder.

Let alone all Five Divine Elements and the Divine Tree of Life, if Duan Ling Tian had help from the World Cleansing Divine Water alone, his opponents would be in a much more terrible state now, and he would not be injured in the slightest. Nonetheless, he was rather proud he did not rely on them.

!! Even with help of the Divine Tree of Life and the World Cleansing Divine Water, it would be impossible for him to kill Leng Jing and the other three men unless his Sword Dao improved significantly or his law reached the paramount stage. If he fulfilled one of those two conditions, he would become a peerless top advanced Supreme God, who was even rarer than supreme powerhouses.

‘However, it’ll be very difficult for the law of space to improve further after it reaches the perfect form. Apart from having good comprehension skills, one will need a lot of luck and fortuitous encounters as well. My law of space reached the perfect form so quickly mainly because of the Floating Image Pearls that contained the recordings of fights of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods who comprehended the law of space. Apart from that, it’s been quite a while since I’ve made any improvements in my Sword Dao. The further I go, the more difficult it is to improve. It feels like I’m approaching a dead-end in my current realm. Perhaps, I should return to the God Defying World to find master so I can discuss this with him. I’m sure I’ll be enlightened…’

Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Dao was originally inspired by that of Feng Qing Yang even if it was different now. His current strength might be on par or stronger than that of Feng Qing Yang, but he knew that his Sword Dao was still inferior to that of Feng Qing Yang.

‘If my Sword Dao reaches the level of master’s Sword Dao, I’ll be a peerless top advanced Supreme God now after my law of space reached the perfect form…’

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian once again realized how terrifying and profound Feng Qing Yang’s Sword Dao was.

‘Perhaps, even among World supreme powerhouses; otherwise known as Saints in the Outer Boundary, there aren’t many whose comprehension of the Weapon Dao is as good as or better than that of master…’

After spending some time in the Outer Boundary, Duan Ling Tian learned many things. For one, as long as a supreme powerhouse comprehended a law to the paramount stage, they would be almost as strong as a demi Saint even if they did not comprehend any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. Some of the supreme powerhouses with a powerful Divine Tree of Life could even be as strong as a demi Saint. This was also the reason peerless top advanced Supreme Gods possessed strength comparable to imminent Saint at least after becoming a supreme powerhouse. Some extremely powerful peerless top advanced Supreme Gods could even become demi Saints. As for the peerless top advanced Supreme Gods who had comprehended the law to the paramount stage and possessed a profound comprehension of one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, they would become a Saint as soon as they became a supreme powerhouse.

Duan Ling Tian had the makings of a Saint as soon as he became a supreme powerhouse. If he comprehended the law of space to the paramount stage, with the level of his Sword Dao, he would become a Saint as soon as he became a supreme powerhouse.

Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly, disappointed in himself for being unable to thoroughly defeat the four people in front of him.

Meanwhile, similar to Hu Fei Yan and Zhong Yue, Leng Jing and the other three men, who experienced Duan Ling Tian’s abnormally terrifying strength, looked at him in horror and disbelief.

‘How could he be so strong? He’s definitely not a peerless top advanced Supreme God yet! His Sword Dao is too strong… I’m afraid that even Linghu Yun Di isn’t even a match for him now…’ Leng Jing thought to himself, frightened out of his wits.

Previously, Leng Jing did not believe that Duan Ling Tian was on par with Linghu Yun Di. However, after their second exchange, where they attacked with all their might, he was thoroughly disabused of that notion.

‘Who is he?! With such strength, he can’t be a nobody in the Three Great Sacred Realms, let alone our Peaceful Might Realm… Which force does he come from?’

The three men from the Zhong clan, who were close to the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods, stared at Duan Ling Tian fearfully as well.

At this time, Zhong Yue who had just spoken to Leng Jing through Voice Transmission could not help but feel disappointed. Based on the current situation, they did not have the upper hand at all. In fact, they were in a disadvantageous position. If they fought to death, they would still be slightly weaker. Although it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to kill them, they would still be seriously injured.

Swoosh!

After a brief moment, Zhong Yue flew to Leng Jing and the others. After he landed, he cupped his fists together at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Your strength is admirable, and I’m convinced by your strength. I’ll let your subordinate go for killing my junior brother.”

Zhong Yue, unsurprisingly, chose to give in. He had no other choice after all. If they continued to fight, even if they did not die, they would still suffer injuries. Even if they used the life-saving items given to them, Duan Ling Tian could easily use one as well. There was also Hu Fei Yan who definitely possessed life-saving items given to her by Hu Bu Gui, the Lord of the Colossal Heaven Army.

Hu Bu Gui was almost as strong as a demi Saint and was on par with one of the supreme powerhouses of Mount Tai’s Zhong clan. In Zhong Yue’s opinion, let alone the imminent Saint who backed Duan Ling Tian, Hu Bu Gui alone was enough to save Hu Fei Yan and Duan Ling Tian.

If Zhong Yue’s speculation about Duan Ling Tian having the support of a demi Saint was right, they would have to pay a price if Duan Ling Tian ended up summoning the projection of a demi Saint. After all, none of the supreme powerhouses in his or Leng Jing’s clan was a demi Saint. At that time, they would suffer a bigger loss. The best choice now was to minimize the damage and avoid further conflict.

In conclusion, Zhong Yue and the others had no choice but to retreat, embarrassed.

As for Duan Ling Tian, he scoffed upon hearing Zhong Yue’s words. He said icily, “Do you think I’m someone you can provoke at will and casually retreat as you please? Preposterous!”

The expressions of Zhong Yue, Leng Jing, and the others changed drastically. Clearly, Duan Ling Tian was not going to let the matter go so easily. At the same time, they were even more convinced that Duan Ling Tian had the support of a demi Saint at the very least. Otherwise, why was Duan Ling Tian so confident and fearless?

At this time, Leng Jing said to Zhong Yue tremblingly through Voice Transmission, “Zhong Yue, if he summons the projection of a demi Saint, we have no choice but to bow our heads and compromise even if we summon our respective supreme powerhouses…”

Leng Jing was naturally frightened. The Winter Land’s Leng clan could not afford to offend a demi Saint after all.
