War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 2312: The Return of the Sun Force

Above the Tribulation Cloud.

“He’s still alive,” the grey-clad old man said solemnly when the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan discovered that his Divine Consciousness could not penetrate through the tri-color light.

The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was stunned and amazed. “Still alive? H-how’s that possible? He’s grievously injured, how did he survive?” He found this beyond his comprehension. However, he quickly regained his senses. He was the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan after all. Then, he asked, “Master, can your Divine Consciousness penetrate through that place where the remaining force is still raging? Is that how you discover he’s still alive?”

“Yes.” The grey-clad old man nodded. “I could briefly penetrate that place and discover he’s still alive. However, my Divine Consciousness was instantly repelled by that force as soon as I saw that he’s alive.” His expression was grave when he spoke.

“There’s no way to explain how he survived, right? Not to mention that he’s severely injured, even at his peak, he might not have survived the 80th Tribulation Lightning!” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was perplexed.

“It’s the bird that’s formed by some unknown force that saved him…” The grey-clad old man was aware of this. Although he could not clearly observe the situation, based on what he managed to see, it was not difficult for him to come to this conclusion.

“That bird formed from some unknown force is not sentient, right?” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan became even more confused.

“It might not be sentient. However, there’s no doubt it saved Duan Ling Tian during the crucial moment… It flew away from the colorful Auspicious Cloud and down the Tribulation Clouds before it shrouded Duan Ling Tian to help him overcome that lightning strike!” The grey-clad old man continued to say, “Although the force that formed that bird is similar to the Celestial Origin Energy, half of its force has already been depleted after the 80th lightning strike!”

“In other words, even if that bird helps Duan Ling Tian to confront the last Tribulation Lightning after this, it might not be enough?” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, naturally, understood the underlying meaning in his master’s words.

“Yes.” The grey-clad old man nodded. He said confidently, “When the last Tribulation Lightning strikes, he’ll surely die!”

The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan nodded. Then, he suddenly furrowed his brows as he asked, “Master, have you figured out what force it is that’s equivalent to the Celestial Origin Energy?”

“I haven’t encountered that kind of force before. It should be from the Devata Realm. I have no idea what it’s doing in the mundane realm.” The grey-clad old man shook his head.

“This human brat is indeed lucky. He actually obtained a force from the Devata Realm!” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan said enviously.

“If he doesn’t die, he’ll definitely become a formidable enemy to us. However, I’m certain he’ll be killed by the last lightning strike!” The grey-clad old man remarked.

…

Beneath the Tribulation Clouds.

As time passed by, the remaining force from the collision between the 80th Tribulation Lightning and the Sun Force in the shape of a Three-legged Golden Crow gradually dispersed, revealing what it had hidden before.

“This…”

Everyone was stupefied by what they saw. They could not comprehend the scene before their eyes. Some of them looked as though they had seen a ghost.

…

“Brother Tian!”

“Daddy!”

Ke’er and Duan Si Ling were delighted when they saw the purple figure in the distance.

On the other hand, Gan Ru Yan and Peng Lai were just as bewildered as the people in the surroundings.

…

“H-he’s fine?” Seeing that unharmed purple figure in the distance, Huang Wen Jing was momentarily stunned before excitement flooded her heart.

“Good job, Brother Ling Tian!” Huang Qi Ling’s face was glowing. He became so excited that he even pumped his fist.

…

“H-how’s this possible?”

“No! I-impossible!”

Both Yun Fu Ye, the Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, and Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, had a bitter expression on their faces when they saw the purple figure with a dragon body was fine.

…

Everyone saw Duan Ling Tian standing with a three-foot-long blade in his hand, completely unharmed. However, the blazing golden bird seemed to have vanished.

Duan Ling Tian was unaware of everyone’s surprise. He seemed to have forgotten the Celestial Ascension Tribulation had not ended yet as he thought to himself, ‘The Sun Force seems to have returned?’ At this moment, he was focused on sensing the Sun Force that had returned to his body. He discovered that half of his Sun Force had returned.

‘All my Sun Force returned earlier. However, the Sun Force in the shape of a Three-legged Golden Crow depleted half its energy when it helped me overcome the 80th Tribulation Lightning!’ Duan Ling Tian very quickly came to this conclusion. Nonetheless, he was still shocked. ‘Unfortunately, Elder Huo is no longer here… Otherwise, he’ll be able to tell me what’s going on with the Sun Force…’

The Sun Force had led Duan Ling Tian here, resulting in the improvement of his comprehension of heaven and earth. Moreover, he had even attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation with the unwitting help from Yuwen Hao Chen. He felt surreal. In just a day, he had achieved what took many people tens to thousands of years to achieve.

‘I might not know how or why, but there’s no doubt all these happened because of the Sun Force!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He remembered vividly how his comprehension of heaven and earth seemed to have reached its limit before he attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. All this happened when the Sun Force left his body and transformed into a Three-legged Golden Crow and flew into the Tribulation Clouds when he arrived!

‘It’s fortunate I have the Sun Force. Otherwise, I would’ve been killed by the 80th lightning bolt. I really didn’t expect the Sun Force would return at that moment and help me overcome the lightning strike!’ Duan Ling Tian continued thinking to himself, ‘However, I still have to face the 81st lightning bolt! Since it’s the last lightning bolt, it’s the most formidable and terrifying one. It would be no surprise if it’s much more terrifying than the 80th lightning bolt. I might be able to overcome the last lightning bolt if the Sun Force is not depleted by half. With the current Sun Force, I’m afraid it’s not enough to overcome the last lightning strike!’ He felt his heart sink when he thought about this. He was not delighted that he had overcome the 80th lightning bolt. Instead, he felt troubled.

…

Naturally, Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, had overcome the 80th lightning bolt with the help of the inherited technique from the Wandering Saint Palace.

‘How’s this possible?’ Yuwen Hao Chen thought to himself. He did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to survive the 80th lightning bolt. What was even more shocking was Duan Ling Tian had finished dealing with the 80th lightning bolt before he could.

Since Yuwen Hao Chen was focused on dealing with the 80th lightning bolt, he did not pay close attention to Duan Ling Tian. For this reason, he did not see the golden flaming bird assisting Duan Ling Tian.

…

“Impossible!”

“Is this a joke? How did Duan Ling Tian overcome the 80th lightning bolt without sustaining any more injuries?”

“Did the Divine Ability he cast earlier really helped him to overcome the 80th lightning bolt?”

“He actually overcame the 80th lightning bolt with ease. It’s possible that the 81st lightning bolt might not pose a threat to him. C-could he be hiding his strength all this time?”

“That’s possible!”

The people in the surroundings who had just regained their senses broke out in an uproar as they discussed among themselves.
