War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Boom!

In the courtyard, Duan Ling Tian stomped one of his feet on the ground. A light sound rang in the air as he shot into the air, seemingly defying gravity.

‘Territory Profundity…’ With just a thought, Duan Ling Tian cast the sixth profundity from the law of space that he had comprehended. His Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Space Elemental Profundity stirred around him.

In just a moment, Duan Ling Tian formed a spatial territory around him. Numerous cracks could be seen in the spatial territory. Energy that seemed like they came from another dimension shot out of the cracks and manifested as tiny grey lightning bolts. The grey lightning bolts flashed all around him.

Although the Territory Profundity was a defensive profundity, it could be used offensively as well. It was just that its defensive strength was stronger.

“If I use the Territory Profundity during a fight, it would distract my opponent since they have to defend against both the defensive and offensive ability from the profundity. They have to focus on not being overwhelmed by the raging Space Energy contained in the territory!” As he stood in the spatial territory, Duan Ling Tian spread his arms out and sensed the turbulent energy around him. He could clearly feel the fierce aura from the Space Energy. It felt as though the energy would strike as soon as anything foreign entered its range.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian could feel the Space Energy around him like a warm hug, protecting him. It invoked the feeling of being in his mother’s arms when he was a child.

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian inhaled deeply. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open. He saw a fly buzzing around not far away in front of him. In just a flash, he used a wave of energy to bring the fly into his spatial territory.

As soon as the tiny fly entered the spatial territory, as tiny as it was, it was instantly sliced into many pieces after Duan Ling Tian removed his energy from it.

‘According to my previous understanding of the law of space’s Territory Profundity, at the rudimentary stage, I’m able to create a territory with a radius of ten meters. At the rudimentary stage, it’d increase to 100 meters. Finally, at the mastery stage, there’s a possibility it’d increase to more than 1,000 meters!’ Just as he had read, he discovered he could only create a territory within a 10-meter radius of him.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian withdrew his Celestial Origin Energy and descended to the ground.

An expression of delight could still be seen on his face at this moment. In just a blink of an eye, he had comprehended six profundities from the law of space! He would not even be as happy if the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit had helped him to comprehend nine profundities from an ordinary law. After all, he had comprehended the law of space, one of the Four Supreme Laws. Moreover, the profundities of the Four Supreme Laws were known to be more difficult to comprehend.

“Hm?” Suddenly, something stirred in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. His eyes widened when he discovered another pleasant surprise. “The law of space’s Transportation Profundity?’

Apart from helping him comprehend six profundities from the law of space, the Heaven Sacrificial Fruit had also helped him to comprehend the basics of the seventh profundity from the law of space!

The Transportation Profundity functioned similarly to a Transporting Formation. Naturally, unlike a Transporting Formation, only those who had comprehended the law of space would be able to use this ability. Apart from that, the traveling range of the profundity was naturally limited compared to a Transporting Formation. This was true of the profundity even at the mastery stage. After all, how could it compare to a Transporting Formation that drew its energy from many precious materials and a huge number of Celestial Crystals?

Since Duan Ling Tian had only grasped the basics of the Transportation Profundity, it would take him time and effort before he would be able to fully comprehend and master it.

Nonetheless, he was still delighted. After all, since he had already grasped the basics, it was only a matter of time before he fully comprehended it.

…

Time continued to pass.

In just a blink of an eye, a month had passed since Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun consumed the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits.

…

In a remote valley outside of Tianji City.

Two figures were moving around at lightning speed.

One of them was shining with a golden light. He looked like a god who had descended to the mortal world. Numerous golden sword rays hovered around him, ready to strike.

The other person who was like a sitting duck in front of the golden sword rays vanished instantly. In just a blink of an eye, he reappeared behind his opponent.

At this moment, the figure that was shining with a golden light suddenly withdrew his energy. As soon as his energy disappeared, the golden light disappeared as well, revealing a young man dressed in grey robes. He looked at the purple-clad figure who had appeared a few dozen meters away from him and sighed. He said, sounding slightly defeated, “There’s no way… There’s no way I can keep up with your teleporting speed unless I become stronger. With this move, your opponents won’t be able to catch you even if they’re stronger than you. Of course, that’s under the condition that your opponent doesn’t have an extraordinarily fast speed.”

These two people were none other than Ling Jue Yun and Duan Ling Tian. Both of them had checked out of the courtyard and left Tianji City in the morning. With the help from the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits, they were both Ten Directions Celestial Dukes now. In fact, they were extremely close to becoming a Celestial King.

The Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit was really amazing. Apart from raising the duo’s cultivation bases, the fruit also helped them comprehend many profundities from a law.

With the fruit, Duan Ling Tian had comprehended six profundities from the law of space and was in the process of comprehending the seventh profundity. Meanwhile, Ling Jue Yun had comprehended eight profundities from the law of metal. With this, Ling Jue Yun was left with only one profundity to comprehend from the law of metal. Once he comprehended the ninth profundity, he would have completely comprehended the law of metal.

Ling Jue Yun was shocked when he found out Duan Ling Tian had managed to comprehend six profundities from the law of space, one of the Four Supreme Laws. With this discovery, he was eager to have a battle with Duan Ling Tian to test their strength. He had been defeated by Duan Ling Tian previously when they had a friendly battle, and he thought this was a good chance to test their strength and see if he could defeat Duan Ling Tian. That was how both of them came to this remote valley outside of Tianji City.

During this fight, unlike the previous one, Duan Ling Tian did not need assistance from the Divine Elements. He fought with his own strength and his newly-comprehended law of space. Since Ling Jue Yun had comprehended eight profundities from the law of metal, he knew it was not wise to face Ling Jue Yun head-on. He decided to use the Teleportation Profundity. With this profundity, Ling Jue Yun’s attacks could not land on him at all. However, although he had easily dodged Ling Jue Yun’s attacks, the same could be said for Ling Jue Yun. He discovered he could not land an attack on Ling Jue Yun as well. He managed to teleport countless times behind Ling Jue Yun, but when he attacked, Ling Jue Yun always managed to deflect his attacks. This was because Ling Jue Yun had comprehended more profundities than him.

Both of them were stuck at a stalemate for a long time before Ling Jue Yun finally decided to put an end to the battle. He knew it was pointless to continue. In any case, he knew if this was a real fight, he would run out of Celestial Origin Energy before Duan Ling Tian. Since he had cast more profundities than Duan Ling Tian, his Celestial Origin Energy naturally would deplete faster. In the end, he would lose.

“Do you really plan to stay in the Jade Emperor Heaven?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Ling Jue Yun.

Before they arrived at this place, both of them had discussed their plans. Duan Ling Tian planned to return to the Southern Heaven Territory in the Spirit Overarching Heaven and the Simplicity Celestial Sect. On the other hand, Ling Jue Yun planned to stay in the Jade Emperor Heaven.

“Yes.” Ling Jue Yun nodded. “The Cloud Platform Celestial Sect doesn’t mean as much to me as the Simplicity Celestial Sect means to you… It doesn’t make a difference to me if I return to the Spirit Overarching Heaven or stay in the Jade Emperor Heaven. Since that’s the case, I might as well remain in the Jade Emperor Heaven.” Initially, he could not understand Duan Ling Tian’s insistence on returning to the Spirit Overarching Heaven and the Simplicity Celestial Sect. However, after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s explanation about how he owed a favor to the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he finally understood Duan Ling Tian. After all, if it was not for the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman that the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect had given Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian would have died without a doubt. At that time, how could Duan Ling Tian even obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit and its many benefits? It was, indeed, a huge favor.

“You should think about returning with me. In the future, we can look out for each other when we enter the Profound Nether Mansion or head to a better place,” Duan Ling Tian tried to persuade Ling Jue Yun.

“It’s true that I don’t care much about the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect, and it’s also true that it doesn’t matter much which Devata Realm I am in. However, I have to admit the reason I’m not returning is because of you,” Ling Jue Yun replied.

“Me?” Duan Ling Tian was taken aback.

“Yes.” Ling Jue Yun nodded before he said determinedly, “I know we’ll be able to look out for each other and lessen the pressure on each other if we’re together in the Spirit Overarching Heaven… However, I don’t want the pressure on me to lessen. I want the pressure to motivate me to quickly grow stronger. I want to avenge my clan as soon as I can!”
