War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 2323: Bodiless Celestial

The people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls were in disbelief. They did not expect to witness something so outrageous with their own eyes.

The formidable Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, was kneeling in front of a human, looking as docile as a dog! Most importantly, the human was the son of his enemy, someone he truly wished to kill.

“Palace Master!”

Xiang Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace master of Great Spirit Palace, and the other high-ranking officials from Great Spirit Palace felt humiliated when they saw their palace master kneeling in front of Duan Ling Tian. Shi Nan Feng, as the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, was like the soul of the palace after all. It was obvious to them that their palace master was not kneeling willingly. He was forced to kneel by the human in front of him.

Xing Yuan Ba hurriedly turned to look at the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan and fell to his knees as he said grimly, “Lord Patriarch, please help us to bring justice to our Palace Master!”

“Please, Lord Patriarch, help our Palace Master!” In just an instant, all of the high-ranking officials from Great Spirit Palace fell to their knees, following Xing Yuan Ba’s lead, as they pleaded for help from their patriarch.

This caused the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan to feel uncomfortable. He did not attack recklessly. He frowned as he thought to himself, ‘Even I can’t force Shi Nan Feng to this state so easily. How is Duan Ling Tian so powerful after becoming an Eminent Celestial and casting his assist-type Divine Ability?’ He stood rooted to his spot as his thoughts continued to run rampant in his mind. ‘Master might be able to do it… However, he’s a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he’s far superior compared to an Eminent Celestial!’

The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was shocked. ‘Based on the current situation, Duan Ling Tian who has just become an Eminent Celestial seems to have strength comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial after casting his assist-type Divine Ability?’ He found it difficult to maintain his composure when he thought about this. He instantly contacted his master, the grey-clad old man, who was hidden high up in the sky.

…

Not many people knew this. Only a handful of people knew that when faced with the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, with a quick reaction and some luck, powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage could escape by sacrificing their bodies. Cultivators would gain the Soul Detaching Technique when they were at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. They would have mastered the Soul Detaching Technique by the time they were at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Therefore, powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who failed their Heavenly Tribulations might not necessarily be condemned to death. They could escape by using the Soul Detaching Technique, sacrificing their bodies to allow their souls to survive in this world. Although the cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who failed their Heavenly Tribulations might have escaped certain death, they would still bear marks from heaven and earth. The mark stopped them from snatching another person’s body. These cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage could only survive in soul form. Moreover, after failing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, they would be greatly weakened, and their strength was only comparable to those at the peak of the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Heaven and earth would send the first Bodiless Celestial Tribulation after 1,000 years to test the lucky cultivators who had failed but survived the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. If the cultivators managed to overcome the tribulation, they would become a One Tribulation Bodiless Celestial whose strength was comparable to an ordinary cultivator at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Most importantly, a One Tribulation Bodiless Celestial could continue to cultivate. After another 1,000 years, heaven and earth would send the second Bodiless Celestial Tribulation. The second Bodiless Celestial Tribulation was much more powerful compared to the first Bodiless Celestial Tribulation. If the Bodiless Celestials failed to overcome the tribulation, their souls would be destroyed and they would die. However, if they managed to overcome the second Bodiless Celestial Tribulation, they would become a Two Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. A Two Tribulation Bodiless Celestial’s power was comparable to an Eminent Celestial’s power. After another 1,000 years, the third Bodiless Celestial Tribulation would arrive. If they managed to overcome it, they would become a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. A Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was much stronger than an Eminent Celestial. Their strength was comparable to the lower-level Celestials in the Devata Realm. Needless to say, a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was an extremely fearsome existence in the mundane realm!

The grey-clad old man, the master of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, was a powerful Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

“Master?” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan waited for a while but his master did not respond to him. He began to feel anxious. Although his master was present, it seemed that he was so distracted at the moment that he did not hear the Voice Transmission at all.

…

Although there were many people from the Three Palace and Six Halls who were shocked at the sight of the Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, kneeling in front of Duan Ling Tian, there was a handful of people who rejoiced at this!

“Brother Tian!” When Ke’er saw Duan Ling Tian had successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial, a dazzling smile appeared on her face and her eyes were brimming with tears. She felt slightly at ease now that her man was no longer in danger.

“Daddy’s so powerful!” Duan Si Ling’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she danced around when she saw Duan Ling Tian forcing Shi Nan Feng to his knees.

“He became so much stronger!” Although Gan Ru Yan knew Duan Ling Tian would be able to turn the situation around after he became an Eminent Celestial, she did not think he would become so strong. Shi Nan Feng had almost completely comprehended heaven and earth as a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and was close to becoming an Eminent Celestial. However, someone like him was easily defeated by Duan Ling Tian.

“Master…” Peng Lai was in shock. Although he knew his master would become an Eminent Celestial, he did not think his master was a match for the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan. After all, he was from the Human-Devil clan. Everyone in the Human-Devil clan thought their patriarch was invincible. He did not expect that after becoming an Eminent Celestial, his master would shrug off the threat from the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan and capture Shi Nan Feng instead. Moreover, his master had forced Shi Nan Feng to his knees. As an elder of Wandering Saint Palace, he was well aware of Shi Nan Feng’s strength. He was filled with shock and awe as he thought to himself, ‘I’m afraid even the patriarch can’t force Shi Nan Feng to stay in this position. How did master do it?” Although he had hoped for a miracle that his master would survive this, he did not expect the miracle would be so shocking. It was beyond his comprehension.

“He…” Huang Wen Jing looked at the majestic figure of the purple-clad young man. Her frosty expression had been replaced with a shocked expression. Initially, she had intended to send a Voice Transmission to her master and ask him to plead for mercy on Duan Ling Tian’s behalf from the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan. However, before she could act, the situation had changed in just a blink of an eye. Duan Ling Tian had caught Shi Nan Feng as easily as how an eagle would catch a chick. Moreover, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian was toying with Shi Nan Feng by forcing him to his knees and refusing to let him stand up. She had mixed feelings when she saw this. She was shocked and terrified by Duan Ling Tian’s power, but at the same time, she was delighted as well.

Huang Wen Jing noticed the Patriarch’s grim expression. Moreover, it seemed like he did not intend to make a move for the time being. He had remained silent while Shi Nan Feng was being toyed with. She thought to herself, ‘Based on the patriarch’s reaction, it seems like he’s slightly afraid of Duan Ling Tian… I guess Duan Ling Tian is no longer in any danger…’

…

“Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace…” Duan Ling Tian looked at Shi Nan Feng who was kneeling and struggling in front of him. “I heard there’s bad blood between you and the Azure Cloud Mansion? Is it true that you came to the Wandering Saint Palace with the intention to kill me?”

Shi Nan Feng did not reply to Duan Ling Tian and continued struggling.

Duan Ling Tian scoffed and narrowed his eyes immediately.

Shi Nan Feng’s body twitched before it turned stiff and fell forward. His eyes were staring blankly at Duan Ling Tian. His Spatial Ring was taken by an invisible energy and given to Duan Ling Tian.

Boom!

The sound of Shi Nan Feng’s body hitting the ground sounded extremely harsh and loud.

Everyone fell silent immediately.

Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, was dead!
