War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 2495: Old Friends from the Devil Clans

2495 Old Friends from the Devil Clans

The fact that the Devil Clans had conquered half of the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land was a testament to their extraordinary strength. Moreover, there were many Bodiless Celestials in the Devil Clans as well, and some of them had remained in the Land of Exile. However, more and more Bodiless Celestials began to leave the Land of Exile to join their respective clan in the Dao Martial Saint Land. The devils Duan Ling Tian had encountered when he was in the Lower Province previously were nothing compared to these Bodiless Celestials.

With the Bodiless Celestials presence in the Devil Clans, the various clans’ management, naturally, improved. There was less infighting among the Devil Clans. They were now united against the people of the Dao Martial Saint Land. With that, how could the Devil Clans not be strong? It was not an exaggeration to say they were as tough as an iron board now.

The Devil Clans had conquered the northern and southern regions in the Upper Province, but the lands were not divided by the clans. All kinds of devils from different clans could be seen living harmoniously.

When news about Duan Ling Tian and Ke’er’s feat spread to the northern and southern region, the devils were, naturally, shocked. They were also shocked to find out that the dragon clan’s patriarch was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

“A human capable of effortlessly killing a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial exists? Moreover, that person is the wife of Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect?”

“In the first place, I didn’t even think there’s a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Saint Province Realm!”

“In the Land of Exile, only one Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial would appear every few generations. To think the Dao Martial Saint Land has a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.”

“The patriarch of the dragon clan is a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”

Many of the devils were scared witless when they learned about this. However, they quickly learned that the Devil Clans’ also had a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

“Apparently, the patriarch had said it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to kill him unless he joins forces with the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from our Devil Clans.”

“Well, from his words, we can infer that there’s a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in our clan as well!”

“This must be why the patriarch of the dragon clan didn’t step forward and make a move to drive us out of the Dao Martial Saint Land!”

The devils were, naturally, excited when they learned about the existence of a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Devil Clans! However, their excitement and joy faded away quickly when they remembered something. It was as though an ice-cold bucket of water had been poured on them.

“Wait… Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, is an Eminent Celestial whose strength is comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”

“In other words, there are two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in the Dao Martial Saint Land?”

Many devils felt amazed inwardly by Duan Ling Tian’s strength. They did not expect someone so young to possess such strength. After they had invaded the Upper Province, they had heard about his past achievements. However, during the time of their invasion, it seemed like he had disappeared into thin air. For this reason, they assumed something had happened to him. They did not expect that he would appear a few years later and become so strong.

Initially, the devils learned that Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect, had strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. This news was not too shocking. However, after just a few years, his strength was comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

“I heard there was a heaven-defying cultivator in the Dao Martial Saint Land 100,000 years ago. He was only an Eminent Celestial, but he was capable of killing Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and had strength comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”

“That heaven-defying cultivator was called a Sword Saint by the people in the Dao Martial Saint Land. It was said that the Sword Saint was the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect at that time. The current sect leader, Duan Ling Tian, is his successor!”

“The most terrifying person is not Duan Ling Tian, it’s his wife! Rumor has it that his wife is even stronger than a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”

“Well, she’s definitely stronger than a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial to be able to kill a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial so effortlessly! Well, that’s only if the rumor is true.”

“Well, everyone can believe that if they want, but I don’t believe there’s someone so strong among the humans…”

“Me neither!”

Most of the devils did not believe the news of Ke’er killing the patriarch of the dragon clan. They assumed this rumor was intentionally spread by the humans to demoralize them.

“If there’s someone like that among the humans, why didn’t she make a move when we invaded the Upper Province and drive us back to the Land of Exile?”

“Yeah! If there were such a person, would she have allowed us to invade and conquer the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land?”

“Humph! Those human imbeciles! Do they take us for fools?”

As time passed, some of the devils even thought the news of Duan Ling Tian possessing strength comparable to Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was fake.

…

In a city in the southern region.

A young man leaped onto one of the buildings around him. He had an expression of awe on his face as he muttered to himself, “I wonder if it’s true he has strength comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Moreover, his wife is capable of killing a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”

If Duan Ling Tian was here, he would recognize the young man with just a glance. The young man was none other than Huang Qi Ling, a disciple of the Wandering Saint Palace, whom he met outside the Human-devil Clan’s Saint City in the Lower Province. He was one of the two friends Duan Ling Tian had in the Wandering Saint Palace.

When Huang Qi Ling arrived at a mansion, he called out respectfully, “Sister Wen Jing!”

A cold voice replied, “Come in.”

Huang Qi Ling entered the mansion and arrived in the front courtyard. He looked at the person’s back as he asked softly, “Sister Wen Jing, did you hear the news?”

The person Huang Qi Ling was speaking to was a woman who was dressed in robes that were as white as fresh snow. Her long and silky hair hung loosely like a waterfall. She emitted an icy aura that made her seem unapproachable as she stood there.

When the white-clad woman heard Huang Qi Ling’s question, her body trembled involuntarily. After a while, she nodded slightly. When she turned around, she revealed her appearance that could topple a city. However, her peerlessly beautiful face had an extremely cold expression.

This woman was Duan Ling Tian’s other friend from the Human-devil Clan. They had met when Duan Ling Tian returned to the Lower Province after the Devil Clan’s invasion. She was Huang Wen Jing, the most beautiful person in the Human-devil Clan.

Ever since the Devil Clans invaded the Upper Province, the Human-devil Clan had come to the Upper Province as well.

Huang Wen Jing and Huang Qi Ling were members of the Wandering Saint Palace, one of the most powerful forces in the Human-devil Clan. Naturally, they followed the Human-devil Clan’s army to the Upper Province. Thanks to the Wandering Saint Palace, they were given a place to stay in the southern region of the Upper Province.

With the arrival of Bodiless Celestials from the Devil Clans in the Dao Martial Saint Land, even Palace Master Yuwen Hao Chen from the Wandering Saint Palace was no longer an elite, let alone two nobodies like them.

“Sister Wen Jing… Do you think the news is real? Do you think he has really gotten so strong? Moreover, his wi…” Huang Qi Ling suddenly ceased his questions. He remembered the woman before him had unrequited feelings for Duan Ling Tian. He knew if he continued his line of questioning, he would only poke on her sore spot.

However, Huang Wen Jing said, “Moreover, his wife is capable of killing a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… That’s what you wanted to say, right?”

Huang Qi Ling forced a smile on his face and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Sister Wen Jing, I…”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about,” Huang Wen Jing said indifferently, “To begin with, there’s nothing between us. There was nothing, there is nothing, and there won’t be…” She could not bring herself to finish her sentence. In the depth of her heart, she still held onto a shred of hope even though she knew the gap between her and that man was only getting wider and wider with each passing day.
