War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

A figure stopped Duan Ling Tian and Wan Qing Qing above a mountainous terrain before sizing Duan Ling Tian with great interest.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian could feel the person in front of him quickly probing him with his Divine Consciousness.

“You’re really less than 100 years old! Duan Ling Tian, are you really from the Southern Heaven Territory?” the handsome young man exclaimed as he looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously.

“Sort of,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“Sort of?” Ximen Hao Xuan, the green-clad young man who was a core disciple of the Red Leaves Mansion, frowned slightly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply. His curiosity seemed to deepen even more as he said solemnly, “Be clear with your words…”

“I can explain in detail, but first, crush your Accumulative Point Jade and leave. After that, you can come to the Profound Nether Mansion to look for me, and I’ll explain it all to you,” Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile on his face.

“Ridiculous!” Ximen Hao Xuan shook his head. “Well, we’ll just have to see if teaming up with Wan Qing Qing makes you strong enough to claim my points!”

Duan Ling Tian was only casually responding to Ximen Hao Xuan earlier. He, naturally, knew it was impossible for Ximen Hao Xuan to give up his points for the sake of curiosity.

The atmosphere turned tense as soon as Ximen Haoxuan finished speaking.

At the same time, Wan Qing Qing’s Voice Transmission rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears, “Duan Ling Tian, Ximen Hao Xuan didn’t comprehend any of the Five Elemental Laws or their derivative laws like the law of ice and thunder. He didn’t comprehend any of the Four Supreme Laws as well…”

After listening to Wan Qing Qing’s words, Duan Ling Tian speculated inwardly, ‘Could he have comprehended the law of destruction?”

The law of destruction was rather unique. It was not derived from the Five Elemental Laws nor was it one of the Four Supreme Laws. Unlike the Five Elements Laws, but similar to the Four Divine Laws, it could not be comprehended through Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities. Certainly, it was much easier to comprehend compared to the Four Supreme Laws. In fact, the comprehension difficulty was similar to the Five Elemental Laws. Strength-wise, it was more powerful than the Five Elemental Laws. Only the law of thunder and ice, which were known as the two most powerful Elemental Laws, could compare to it.

Duan Ling Tian recalled the information about the law of destruction that he had come across when he was in the Simplicity Sect’s library. ‘The law of destruction is born when one is extremely focused on offensive techniques… For example, sword cultivators, saber cultivators, and rod cultivators who are incredibly focused on offensive techniques have a high chance of comprehending the law of destruction…’

With these thoughts in mind, Duan Ling Tian’s expression grew solemn as he looked at Ximen Hao Xuan. After all, based on their incredible focus on offensive techniques, it could be seen that those who were capable of comprehending the law of destruction had an incredibly strong will. How could they be ordinary?

“Duan Ling Tian, shall we make a bet?” Ximen Hao Xuan suddenly asked.

“What bet?” Duan Ling Tian asked as his eyes lit up. He was clearly very interested.

“If I manage to eliminate you and Wan Qing Qing, you have to tell me about your origin. If you manage to eliminate me, I’ll give you a Floating Image Pearl that contains the battle of two Celestial Kings who had comprehended nine profundities from the law of space. What do you think?” Ximen Hao Xuan did not waste time and immediately stated the stakes of the bet.

“A Floating Image Pearl that contains the recording of the battle between two Celestial Kings who had comprehended nine profundities from the law of space?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard Ximen Hao Xuan’s words. A Floating image Pearl like that was very useful to him. It would be able to help his comprehension of the Transportation Profundity and the other two profundities from the law of space. For this reason, he did not hesitate to reply, “Okay.”

“Good! You’re very straightforward!” Ximen Hao Xuan laughed heartily upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply. Then, he said with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, no matter who’s eliminated, I’ll visit the Profound Nether Mansion in the future to have a drink with you. I hope you won’t refuse me.”

“Alright,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile. He had a rather good impression of Ximen Hao Xuan based on his character.

“Based on your team composition, I assume Wan Qing Qing is in charge of distracting or restraining me while you attack, right? Just to be safe, I won’t wait for you to strike first,” Ximen Hao Xuan said before he quickly made the first move.

Whoosh!

Ximen Hao Xuan stirred up a gust of wind as he shot toward Duan Ling Tian like a fired arrow.

When Ximen Hao Xuan charged toward Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian could feel a sharp and fierce aura from Ximen Hao Xuan as though Ximen Hao Xuan was not human but a sharp weapon instead.

Swoosh!

Ximen Hao Xuan’s body seemed as flexible as a snake. However, when he drew close to Duan Ling Tian, he suddenly stiffened. In just a blink of an eye, a black energy surged out and transformed into a huge energy sword that shrouded him. Then, he waved his right hand lightly before a black sword ray with a destructive aura and terrifying sword intent shot toward Duan Ling Tian. With this one strike, heaven and earth seemed to tremble.

In the past, Duan Ling Tian had obtained the legacy of a sword powerhouse, Feng Qing Yan, in the mundane realm, the Saint Province Realm. For this reason, he was quite an accomplished swordsman. Although he could not compare to Ximen Hao Xuan, he could sense the strength of Ximen Hao Xuan’s attack.

The ferocious black sword ray shot out in the sky as though it could tear the void open.

Duan Ling Tian felt chills running up his spine when he saw the fierce sword ray headed his way. With just a thought, he teleported away with the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian reappeared 100 meters away from Ximen Hao Xuan’s back in just an instant. His robes fluttered in the air as he quickly created a Space Territory with the Territory Profundity. The air in the territory thrummed and rippled immediately.

“No wonder the Teleportation Profundity is known as an unpredictable movement profundity. It’s truly impossible to guard against!” Ximen Hao Xuan did not seem surprised that his attack missed. After all, Duan Ling Tian would be unworthy of his fame if he could not even dodge his first strike.

“Watch out for my next attack!” Ximen Hao Xuan’s body trembled briefly as the black energy around him expanded. At the same time, a terrifying aura rolled out from his body.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless black sword rays rose from the black energy that shrouded Ximen Hao Xuan and began to revolve around him. The terrifying aura that he emitted grew even more fearsome. At this moment, it felt as though he could destroy everything that stood in his way.

At this moment, Wan Qing Qing scoffed softly. Ximen Hao Xuan’s attack was so fast that she almost did not have time to react. Her expression turned cold when she realized Ximen Hao Xuan had completely disregarded her and was only focused on attacking Duan Ling Tian.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Wan Qing Qing stood in the center as a gust of cold and biting wind raged around her before it swept toward Ximen Hao Xuan. At the same time, an emerald energy surfaced on her skin; it was her Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the law of wood’s Wood Elemental Profundity.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The wind whistled as the emerald energy transformed into vines as thick as an adult’s arm. The vines shot toward Ximen Hao Xuan, clearly intending to restrain him.

“Wan Qing Qing, you can’t restrain me.” Ximen Hao Xuan smiled indifferently as he looked at the countless vines that were shooting toward him from all directions. At the same time, the black sword rays around him shot out as well.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Before the green vines could draw closer to the black sword rays, the green vines were destroyed. However, after the green vines were destroyed, more green vines appeared and shot toward Ximen Hao Xuan from the back.

“It’s useless.” Ximen Hao Xuan did not seem bothered by Wan Qing Qing’s attacks at all. With a casual wave of his hand, a sword that was formed from his Celestial Origin Energy and the law of destruction’s Fundamental Profundity, the Destructive Elemental Profundity, appeared out of thin air.

Whoosh!

Ximen Hao Xuan waved the sword nonchalantly and cut down the green vines. In just a blink of an eye, the vines withered and turned yellow.

At this moment, spots of emerald energy rained down dazzlingly. They landed on the chopped withered vines and seemed to give them life again. In just a second, the vines reconnected. After that, the vines continued shooting toward Ximen Hao Xuan and circled him before forming a cage of vines that trapped him inside.
