War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Five years… It was only five years!

Although Di Jue had not reverted to his true form yet, he had already used all his strength in his human form without any mercy! Even so, he still could not defeat Duan Ling Tian!

What did this mean? This meant that Duan Ling Tian’s strength was on par with that of an Early Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse!

“How’s this possible? Impossible! Impossible!” Di Jue’s eyes were as wide as saucers. His expression was one of confusion. He could not accept this!

“Duan Ling Tian really hid his strength well!” Clan Leader Di Shan had a grave expression on his face.

He had seen what happened clearly. Even under Di Jue’s full-force attack in his human form, Duan Ling Tian managed to come to a draw with him. It was inconceivable!

At the same time, a hint of regret began to rise in his heart for the first time.

If he had known Duan Ling Tian was so strong earlier, he would not have allowed Di Jue to accept Duan Ling Tian’s Death Duel Invitation! He had only allowed Di Jue to accept the challenge because he had probed Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base and confirmed he did not pose any threat at all.

Although the dragon clan’s Saint Land, the Dragon Cleansing Pool, was valuable to the dragon clan, Di Jue’s life was more important than that. This was because Di Jue was first in line to succeed him.

He would not allow anything to happen to Di Jue!

Now that he had witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength, his heart tightened immediately. “Currently, Di Jue’s only option is to revert to his true form to battle with Duan Ling Tian! I hope Duan Ling Tian has already reached his limit. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Di Jue to defeat him, let alone kill him!” Di Shan did not know why, but his heart was overwhelmed with a sense of panic at this moment.

“How’s this possible?!” Everyone from the dragon clan, including the high-ranking officials, were all dumbfounded with their mouths agape.

Whether it was those who saw everything clearly or those who did not, all of them began to discover a problem. Di Jue had come to a draw with Duan Ling Tian even though he had used all his strength without any mercy during their second clash!

Gulp—

Gulp—

Gulp—

Gulp—

Gulp—

Gulp—

After a long while, sounds of gulping could be heard one after another.

Based on this, one could see how the members of the dragon clan felt about Duan Ling Tian’s strength.

“The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is really amazing! During the first clash, we could say Di Jue was careless and did not use his full strength. However, it was obvious Di Jue did not hold back this time, and yet, he still could not defeat him, let alone kill him!”

“As expected of the son of Mansion Master Duan Ru Feng of Azure Cloud Mansion. Both father and son are really amazing!”

“No wonder he dared to issue a Death Duel Invitation to Di Jue. As it turns out, he’s not seeking death. He’s really confident he could fight Di Jue. However, can he really kill Di Jue?”

“That’s right! Di Jue is only in his human form now. Although he came to a draw with Di Jue, it doesn’t mean he can defeat Di Jue if Di Jue reverts to his true form. Di Jue is a Five-clawed Golden Dragon from the Imperial Clan of the dragon clan! Once he reverts to his true form, apart from being stronger, he would be able to use the dragon clan’s inherited Divine Ability as well!”

“I’ve heard of the dragon clan’s inherited Divine Ability. Usually, only those outstanding dragons would be able to master the Divine Ability!”

“If that’s the case, Di Jue’s true form is going to be so powerful that his human form can’t even compare to it!”

The group of people from the various quasi third-rate forces whispered among themselves.

Although Duan Ling’s strength was extraordinary, they were uncertain if he would be able to defeat Di Jue if Di Jue reverted to his true form. After all, Di Jue’s true form was not an ordinary Five-clawed Divine Dragon but a Five-clawed Golden Dragon!

“Kill!” At this moment, Di Jue made his move again with a terrifying look in his eyes. The Ten Inscription Saint Saber in his hand followed like a shadow.

On the other hand, faced with Di Jue who was charging at him, Duan Ling Tian did not show any fear as he charged at him with the Ten Inscription Saint Sword in his hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

Every time the Ten Inscription Saint Saber in Di Jue’s hand swept out, it was as though it would slice the sky apart as it pointed toward Duan Ling Tian. Unfortunately for him, every time he attacked, Duan Ling Tian would evade his attack.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As for Duan Ling Tian, while he fought with Di Jue, he mostly evaded the attacks by relying on the Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings.

He merely parried twice with Di Jue in a manner that was neither fierce nor mild. He did not injure Di Jue as well.

It was not that Duan Ling Tian did not want to fight with Di Jue but the conditions just did not allow him to!

The reason he managed to come to a draw with Di Jue who was at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage was mostly thanks to the Sun True Origin that was strengthened by the Elementary Devouring Tactic. The Sun True Origin would not remain this powerful at all times.

Once it was depleted, he was only left with the option of raising his Sun True Origin again with the Elementary Devouring Tactic. So far, Duan Ling Tian did not have the chance to use the Elementary Devouring Tactic without restraint. The Elementary Devouring Tactic could devour all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in within 10-meter radius, but he had only absorbed a fraction of it. Apart from that, he also needed to find the right time to use it.

The toll the Elementary Devouring Tactic had taken on him was far greater than he had expected. His Spiritual Energy was rapidly depleting every second the Elementary Devouring Tactic was being cast.

“Di Jue, I’m warning you. You should revert to your true form. You can’t kill me like this!” Duan Ling Tian flapped his Golden Crow’s Wings as he used a little bit more of his Sun True Origin to increase his speed a notch. It was much faster than Di Jue’s current speed.

Naturally, as his speed increased, his Sun True Origin was also depleting.

Duan Ling Tian’s heart was bleeding.

“How fast!” The spectators who could catch Duan Ling Tian’s movements, including the group of dragon clan’s high-ranking officials, could not help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

They did not think Duan Ling Tian’s speed could turn even faster! The speed Duan Ling Tian had just demonstrated had greatly surpassed an ordinary powerhouse at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage and was close to the speed of a powerhouse at the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage.

Clan Leader Di Shan’s expressions turned even graver. He began to sense a hint of danger.

“Di Jue, revert to your true form and end this quickly!” At this moment, Di Shan quickly said to Di Jue, “Duan Ling Tian is really strange! Revert to your true form and kill him as fast as you possibly can. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’re no match for him!”

Unlike Di Shan who had a grave expression on his face, Mansion Master Duan Ru Feng and the people by his side had a joyful smile on their faces.

Although they were surprised by Duan Ling Tian’s strength, this was the outcome they had hoped for!

Gu Li was already immune to Duan Ling Tian’s multiple leaps in power. His clenched his fists with a solemn expression on his face as he said, “Junior Brother Ling Tian, kill him in a blow!”

As for the three men from the Mountainshade Black Market, apart from Leader Dugu who was staring at Duan Ling Tian with interest, Feng Bu Yi and Zhong Qi Shan, the two Deputy Leaders, were still dumbfounded.

The strength of the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion actually became so powerful. This really caught them off guard.

Soon after, as though they were reminded of something, they turned to look at their Leader in unison as hints of admiration filled their eyes.

Among the three of them, only their Lord Leader had a high opinion of Duan Ling Tian from the beginning.

“Since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish then!” Faced with the sudden increase in Duan Ling Tian speed and the reminder from Clan Leader Di Shan’s Voice Transmission, Di Jue could no longer hold back as he reverted to his true form.

The huge valley was immediately covered by a huge black shadow. It was none other than the shadow of Di Jue’s true form, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

The spiraling gigantic body that was several hundreds of meters long shone brilliantly with a golden light. It was like an invincible leviathan as it circled around the sky.

Di Jue who had reverted to his true form lifted his head and roar without any warning.

Then, he lowered his dragon head and glared at Duan Ling Tian as he said domineeringly, “Duan Ling Tian, didn’t you ask me to revert to my true form? Now that I’ve reverted to my true form, I’m going to send you to hell!” Di Jue’s began to move his gigantic body as soon as he finished speaking.

The body that seemed to be heavy and burdensome was particularly agile when it moved.

The dragon tail swept across the sky toward Duan Ling Tian’s direction.

Swish!

The wind howled, and in just a blink of an eye, the dragon tail was fast approaching Duan Ling Tian. If Duan Ling Tian did not evade it now, he would be definitely be sent flying.

At the critical moment, Duan Ling Tian who had cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic unreservedly had just absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in within 10-meter radius.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Golden Crow’s Wings flapped without warning, at the critical moment, it brought Duan Ling Tian away and evaded Di Jue’s dragon tail. Di Jue failed in his first attack after he had reverted to his true form.

Since Duan Ling Tian had absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy, the Sun True Origin in his body had undergone several transformations and had already been raised to its limit.

Since he had not fully mastered the Elementary Devouring Tactic to the highest level, there was a limit to how much Heaven and Earth Energy he could absorb. For this reason, his Sun True Origin could only currently transform to this stage.

“Currently, the Sun True Origin I possess should be enough to deal with Di Jue.” Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and flapped his Golden Crow’s Wings and flew out, beating Di Jue’s dragon tail that was once again heading in his direction.

The direction Duan Ling Tian was heading in was not an open space. He was headed in the direction of Di Jue’s head.

“Do you only know how to run?” Di Jue was getting impatient because he realized Duan Ling Tian’s speed seemed to have increased again.

Although he had reverted to his true form and his speed had also increased, it was still slower than Duan Ling Tian’s current speed.

At this moment, he felt a pang of regret for accepting Duan Ling Tian’s Death Duel Invitation.

Currently, he was no longer certain if he could kill Duan Ling Tian since his speed was just too fast. Di Jue’s speed could not compare to his speed at all!
