War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 2302: My Trump Card

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he heard the voice of Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace.

He saw Shi Nan Feng lunging toward him from the corner of his eyes. His eyes glinted coldly. “Hm?”

Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior to defend against both of them…

Whoosh!

Brilliantly bright bolts of lightning shone from the tribulation cloud, blinding those who stood beneath it.

Boom!

It was only natural the tribulation cloud also brought with it claps of thunder that sounded like an explosion.

“Is this the second stage of the Celestial Ascension Tribulation?”

The lightning and thunder alerted Duan Ling Tian of the impending tribulation of the second stage of the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!

Duan Ling Tian had unknowingly been battling Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, for a long time now.

Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

Two bolts of lightning like two divine dragons struck from the sky. The first bolt of lightning struck at Yuwen Hao Chen while the second one struck at Duan Ling Tian.

After passing the first stage of the Celestial Ascension Tribulation together, Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen faced the second stage of their Celestial Ascension Tribulation at the same time again!

Naturally, the second lightning tribulation from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation was much stronger than the first. However, the tribulation lightning at this level was nothing to Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen. They managed to deal with it with just a wave of their hands.

After all, the second tribulation lightning was the second weakest of the 81 tribulation lightning in a Celestial Ascension Tribulation. If they could not even deal with the second tribulation lightning, they would not be able to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.

Although the second tribulation lightning was not powerful, it stopped Shi Nan Feng in his tracks since he did not dare to go near Duan Ling Tian when the lightning tribulation lightning struck. He was only reminded that Duan Ling Tian was currently undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation! If he recklessly approached Duan Ling Tian while he was undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation, he was afraid he would be mistakenly struck by the lightning tribulation. Who knew if the bolt of lightning would be as powerful as the 81st one? At that time, he would surely die.

Shi Nan Feng thought to himself, ‘Luckily the second lightning tribulation struck at this time. Otherwise, I would’ve forgotten about it!’ He quickly retreated to the distance, ignoring the strange look the people in the surroundings gave him.

“Why did the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace suddenly retreat?”

People began to discuss among themselves when they saw Shi Nan Fen retreating.

“How can he not retreat? Both Duan Ling Tian and the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace are undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation… If Shi Nan Feng rushed in recklessly, he might be mistakenly struck by the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!” A Crimson Blaze Palace elder said with conviction.

“The Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace must hate Duan Ling Tian to the core. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost all his senses and attacked Duan Ling Tian at this time!”

“He’s lucky the Celestial Ascension Tribulation’s second tribulation lightning serves as a reminder to him. Otherwise, he would have died!”

“So reckless… It seems like it’s true that everyone from Great Spirit Palace is a brute!”

Some shushed before he said, “Speak softly. There are many people from the Great Spirit Palace around us. It won’t do us any good to offend them.”

Many people learned about the reason Shi Nan Feng had retreated through the conversation in their surroundings.

It was only natural that Shi Nan Feng heard the conversation of these people with his enhanced hearing. Various expressions flitted across his face when he heard the people’s words. After a while, his eyes finally landed on Ke’Er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan, and a crazy idea formed in his mind.

Should I seize this chance to take these girls hostage to threaten Duan Ling Tian… I’ll force him to stop defending himself and let Yuwen Hao Chen kill him!” However, he dismissed the idea quickly. He was afraid he would not be able to threaten Duan Ling Tian with the girls. If that happened, he would fall into a disadvantageous position and completely provoke Duan Ling Tian. At that time, he would be left with no way out. The Great Spirit Palace would have a hard time if Duan Ling Tian did not die.

Naturally, Shi Nan Feng had such fears because he was a selfish man. For this reason, he thought everyone was similar to him. If he had known Ke’er and Duan Si Ling were Duan Ling Tian’s Achilles heel, he would not have hesitated to take the girls hostage.

Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen kept moving. One was as fast as a cheetah while the other was as agile as a monkey. They kept crossing paths with each other, attacking when they could. However, it seemed like neither of them could gain the upper hand. They were evenly matched!

After a few moments, Yuwen Hao Chen backed away. Duan Ling Tian had also stopped moving at this time. He stared at Duan Ling Tian and said in a deep voice, “Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to be so strong… It seems like it’ll be difficult for us to determine a winner among us!”

Duan Ling Tian looked at Yuwen Hao Chen intently and said, “I also didn’t expect Palace Master Yuwen to be so strong!” He paused for a moment before he began to speak again. This time, his tone had completely changed. “However, I don’t agree with you when you say it’s hard to determine a winner among us.”

Yuwen Hao Chen sneered as he said, “What? Are you trying to say that you haven’t unleashed all your strength?” Naturally, he did not think Duan Ling Tian was holding back since he could tell Duan Ling Tian was fighting all might during their battle. He believed Duan Ling Tian had nothing left in his arsenal.

As soon as Yuwen Hao Chen finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian answered indifferently, “In fact, I have been holding back!” As he spoke, his body began to grow muscular. Even his purple robes became tight from his body’s transformation.

Rip!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian’s body continued to grow until his purple robe tore open. What they saw next stunned them because they saw that Duan Ling Tian was no longer human. Everywhere below his neck was covered in shimmering dragon scales. Moreover, his hands and feet had turned into dragon paws. Each paw had nine sharp claws that seemed capable of tearing through anything.

Humanoid dragon!

At this point, Duan Ling Tian finally decided to use his trump card and transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!

“Dragon Warrior?!”

When Duan Ling Tian transformed into a Dragon Warrior, the first person to react was not among the people beneath the Tribulation Cloud. It was a grey-clad old man hovering above the Tribulation Cloud. He was the master of the Clan Leader of the Human-Devil clan.

“He… He’s a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior?!” The grey-clad old man peered past the Tribulation Cloud and looked at Duan Ling Tian in surprise.

Does this mean there’s a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon in the Saint Province Realm?’ This was the grey-clad old man’s thought when he saw a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. Usually, if there was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, there would be a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon.

“Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!”

Soon after, the second person to regain his senses was the Clan Leader of the Human-Devil clan. His eyes were widened in disbelief. He knew what a Dragon Warrior was. However, he did not expect to see a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior in the Saint Province Realm’s Lower Province!

There were different levels of Dragon Warriors, and a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was the strongest. A Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior could only be created by the legendary Nine-clawed Divine Dragon!

The Saint Province Realm has a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon?’

The Clan Leader of the Human-Devil clan had the same thought as his master. He felt wary when he thought about the existence of a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon.

After all, the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon was legendary. If it existed in the Saint Province Realm, it would not be good for the Human-Devil clan and the other Devil Clans!

Since there was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, there should be a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon nearby, right? This alarmed the Clan Leader of the Human-Devil clan and his master.

Beneath the Tribulation Cloud…

“Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior?”

Yuwen Hao Chen and Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace and Great Spirit Palace, and the others recognized the form that Duan Ling Tian had taken.

However, it was natural that there were also few disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace who were clueless. “Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior? What’s that?”

However, they were stunned when they learned about Nine-clawed Dragon Warriors and what it represented.

A Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was a creation of a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon?

They might not have heard of a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, but everyone knew about the Nine-clawed Divine Dragons. It was the strongest existence in the dragon clan and was thought of as legendary.

Yuwen Hao Chan looked at Duan Ling Tian and said solemnly, “Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to be a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior… I admit that I won’t be able to defeat you now that you’ve transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. However, do you really think you’re the only one with a trump card?”
