War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 2553: The Day of the Battle has Arrived!

Chapter 2553 The Day of the Battle has Arrived!

Time flew by quickly. In just a blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.

The highly-anticipated day, the day of the battle, had finally arrived.

In the central region, thousands of miles north of Sin City, a large group of humans and devils gathered. Generally, with such a big group of humans and devils together at the same place, there would have been a bloodbath. However, as though they had come to an agreement beforehand, both groups stood at opposing sides peacefully.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of wind whistling rang in the air as more and more humans and Devils arrived. As soon as they arrived, they would stand with their respective faction. They stood at opposing sides as though they were troops of armies, poised for battle.

Time passed silently. When mid-day arrived, there were fewer and fewer people who were coming. However, the existing crowd was already extremely huge. With just a glance, a sea of heads packed tightly together like tunas in cans could be seen.

“Why isn’t he here yet?”

“Why are you so anxious? Duan Ling Tian said he’ll be here, but he didn’t state the time. It’s only noon now. Just wait patiently.”

“That’s right! Don’t tell me you’re afraid he won’t show up? Don’t forget, he’s the one who issued the challenge!”

“I heard that Duan Ling Tian is as strong as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Even if he can’t thoroughly defeat the Devil Clan’s Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, the same could be said for his opponent as well.”

“I agree. The Devil Clans’ Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial is, at most, on par with Duan Ling Tian.”

The humans discussed among themselves. Unsurprisingly, their conversation revolved around today’s protagonist, Duan Ling Tian. The incident in the dragon clan had spread far and wide in the Upper Province. Therefore, most of them knew Duan Ling Tian was as strong as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

Someone scoffed. “So what if Duan Ling Tian’s strength is only comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Don’t forget about his wife! She’s capable of easily killing a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!” Many people around him heard his words.

“That is right! Duan Ling Tian’s wife is capable of easily killing Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. If she intervenes, there’s no doubt the Devil Clan’s Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial will die!”

“I’m more worried that the Devil Clan’s patriarch is going to be a no-show. After all, I’m sure he’s aware of Duan Ling Tian’s wife’s strength.”

“If the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the Devil Clans doesn’t show up, not only would it be a humiliation to the Devil Clans, but his absence would also bring calamity to the Devil Clans. After all, Duan Ling Tian had said that if the strongest person from the Devil Clans is a no-show, he’ll kill everyone in the Devil Clans!”

“Wow! His words are truly domineering!”

As the humans discussed this, they could not help but feel a sense of pride. After all, Duan Ling Tian was human, he was one of their own. Moreover, he was their only hope to save the humans and drive the Devil Clans back to the Land of Exile or kill them!

“However, I truly didn’t expect that Duan Ling Tian who began to rise to fame in the Fire Worship Sect could reach such heights.”

“Yes. He’s merely a lad from the Lower Province. His previous achievements were already shocking enough. It seems like all of us had underestimated him.”

“Who would have known that a lad from the Lower Province who isn’t even 100 years old is capable of such incredible feats?”

“No matter what it is, we humans are lucky to have him on our side!”

“Indeed.”

“He would definitely go down in history if he manages to drive the Devil Clans back to the Land of Exile. He would become a legendary figure like Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang!”

“No! If he manages to drive the Devil Clans away, I think he’ll be even more legendary than Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. After all, he would be contributing greatly to mankind!”

“Yes. In terms of contribution to mankind, Senior Feng Qing Yang definitely can’t compare to Duan Ling Tian.”

At this moment, many people were already imagining the scene where Duan Ling Tian and his wife chased the Devil Clans back to the Land of Exile.

Contrary to the humans, a cloud of gloom and silence seemed to hang over the Devils. All of the Devils wore a grim expression on their face.

An Ox-devil asked the Devils in his surroundings, “Do you think our Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial will come?”

“I can’t say for sure…”

“If I were him, I definitely wouldn’t come. After all, he might fight to a draw with Duan Ling Tian, but there’s no doubt Duan Ling Tian’s wife would be able to easily kill him!”

“It’s only natural if he doesn’t show up. After all, coming here like a suicide mission.”

“Regardless, I really hope he’ll show up. Otherwise, we’ll probably have to bear the brunt of Duan Ling Tian’s anger!”

“Me too. I decided to stay in the Saint Province Realm instead of returning to the Exiled Land because I hope the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from our Devil Clans will show up. Apart from that, if the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial doesn’t show up, I don’t think Duan Ling Tian would leave us in peace even if we return to the Exiled Realm.”

“Yes. With Duan Ling Tian and his wife’s strength, we won’t be able to live if they intend to kill us. It doesn’t matter if we’re in the Saint Province Realm or the Exiled Realm!”

Although most Devils did not hold high hopes of their Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial showing up, all of them still stubbornly held onto hope. They hoped the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, the strongest powerhouse in the Devil Clans, would step out and protect them! Naturally, fear was mixed with their hopes as well. They were deeply worried that the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from their Devil Clans would not show up.

However, strangely, there was a group of Devils who seemed to be at ease, looking not the slightest bit worried. These Devils were from the Human-devil clan.

‘He should be here soon, right?’ Huang Qi Ling thought to himself. He was filled with anticipation at this moment. He was the only friend Duan Ling Tian had made in the Wandering Saint Palace.

“It’s a pity Sister Wen Jing decided not to come.” Huang Qi Ling could not help but sigh when he thought about that woman who refused to come. He knew her reason for this. After all, Duan Ling Tian certainly would not come alone. His wife would most likely be with him as well.

“Eh, master is here as well?”

Yuwen Haochen, the Palace Master of the Wandering Saint Palace, had arrived as well. Similarly, his eyes were filled with anticipation of his master’s, Duan Ling Tian, arrival.

Apart from that, there were quite a number of people from the Human-devil clan’s Three Palaces and Six Halls who were present on the scene as well.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, “He’s here!” This person’s voice drowned out all the chatters from the humans and Devils in the surroundings.

Everyone fell silent immediately, their hearts beating in trepidation. Who was it? Who had come?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sounds of wind whistling in the air rang and everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound that came from the north.

Several figures flew at an exaggerated speed. Due to their speed, only a few Bodiless Celestials could vaguely catch the figures’ movements.

Soon after, a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the Devil Clans cried out in delight, “It’s Master Wu Ji! Master Wu Ji has come!”

“Master Wu Ji!” Another Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans exclaimed excitedly as well.

“Master Wu Ji?” There were also many Devils who were confused when they heard this. However, they quickly learned who Wu Ji was from Devils who were in the know.

“Master Wu Ji is the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans!”

“H-he came?”

“I knew it! The Devil Clans are not cowardly. We’re all heroes. We will not hide and cower!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Eight figures appeared out of thin air like ghosts in front of everyone. They stood in the space between the humans and the Devils. They were led by an old man.

The old man who had a medium build and an ordinary appearance was currently the focus of everyone’s attention.

Upon seeing this old man, the humans who were confident in Duan Ling Tian and his wife’s strength still could not help but feel wary and afraid. After all, Duan Ling Tian had yet to arrive. They would surely die if the old man decided to vent his anger on them now.

“Where’s Duan Ling Tian?”

“I hope the Devil Clan’s Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial won’t vent his anger on us because of Duan Ling Tian’s challenge.”

“Duan Ling Tian, hurry up!”

At this time, it was high-noon. The humans were beginning to feel anxious since Duan Ling Tian had yet to arrive.
