War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 3885 - That’s Impossible!

“Ximen Long Xiang became a Lord of Gods? As soon as he became a Lord of Gods, he entered the Lord Battlefield and killed four rudimentary Lords of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect?”

Duan Ling Tian did not expect Ximen Long Xiang to break through so quickly. No one knew how much experience he had gained from the King Battlefield back then. However, it was not too surprising since Ximen Long Xiang had been stuck at the stage of an advanced King of Gods for a long time. In contrast, he had become a rudimentary Lord of Gods very quickly after he became an advanced King of Gods. That was also why everyone was shocked by his breakthrough.

It took Duan Ling Tian less than years to break through from an advanced King of Gods to a rudimentary Lord of Gods, shocking everyone in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.

“Little Tian.”

Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian stopped chatting and greeted Duan Ling Tian with a smile when they saw him.

Duan Ling Tian joined them and sat down at the table before he said with a smile, “I overheard both of you talking about Ximen Long Xiang of the Tai Yi Sect. He must be extraordinary for two White Dragon Elders to talk about him.”

Xue Hai Chuan shook his head and said, “Little Tian, don’t underestimate Ximen Long Xiang. He managed to kill four rudimentary Lords of Gods as soon as he became a rudimentary Lord of Gods himself. This is enough to prove his strength.”

Dongfang Yan Nian chimed in with a solemn expression on his face, “Hai Chuan is right. After all, our sect leader agreed to the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect’s proposal to ban you and Ximen Long Xiang from the King Battlefield. There were no benefits involved; it was just a simple agreement. This means that our sect leader also thinks that Ximen Long Xiang isn’t any weaker than you are.”

Duan Ling Tian did not know if he should laugh or cry. He had only spoken casually; he did not expect the duo to be so serious. He was not a native of the Realms of Gods. He had grown up in the mundane realm and fought his way to the Devata Realm before he ended up in the Realm of Gods. He had experienced many things so he knew better than to underestimate his opponents. Moreover, he had known that Ximen Long Xiang was strong since before.

“Brother Hai Chuan, Brother Yan Nian, don’t worry. I won’t underestimate him.”

Duan Ling Tian knew Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian were only worried that he would suffer if he underestimated Ximen Long Xiang.

In most people’s eyes, it was only a matter of time before Duan Ling Tian and Ximen Long Xiang fought.

Ximen Long Xiang had entered the King Battlefield in the past to fight Duan Ling Tian. Unfortunately, he could not find Duan Ling Tian. Perhaps, when Duan Ling Tian became a rudimentary Lord of Gods, everyone was dismissive of Ximen Long Xiang. After all, how could an advanced King of Gods be a match for a rudimentary Lord of Gods? However, now that Ximen Long Xiang had become a rudimentary Lord of Gods as well, people would naturally start to compare them again.

Dongfang Yan Nian did not seem to believe Duan Ling Tian so he continued to say solemnly, “Little Tian. Since a long time ago, Ximen Long Xiang was acknowledged by many people as the most talented person since the founding of the Tai Yi Sect. If he didn’t show up on the King Battlefield, I would’ve thought he had already left the Tai Yi Sect or the Eastern Ridge Mansion for a better place. After all, he’s highly talented. It’d be easy for him to join a top emperor-rank force. His performance on the King Battlefield and the Lord Battlefield is more than enough to prove his strength. His reputation is indeed well-deserved. From what we’ve heard, his strength is almost that of an intermediate Lord of Gods. Among the four rudimentary Lords of Gods he killed, two of them were traveling together. This meant that he fought both of them alone and won.”

“I understand,” Duan Ling Tian replied solemnly. He could tell that the duo was genuinely worried about him, and a hint of warmth suffused his heart. The duo was seriously warning him because they were afraid he would lose if he underestimated Ximen Long Xiang.

Finally, Xue Hai Chuan tried to lighten the mood and changed the topic. He asked with a smile, “Little Tian, you must have improved by leaps and bounds after entering closed-door cultivation, right?”

Dongfang Yan Nian looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously. Similar to the others, he was also shocked when he found out it only took Duan Ling Tian ten years to become a rudimentary Lord of Gods from an advanced King of Gods. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the law of space was also very high. All in all, he was a real prodigy to be able to achieve so much when he was not even 3,000 years old.

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian said as he nodded and smiled. His eyes brightened as he said, “Brother Hai Chuan, I plan to enter the Lord Battlefield again. This time, I plan to stay for a longer time.”

Xue Hai Chuan chuckled. “You must have grown a lot stronger. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so confident. Very well. I’ll accompany you to the Lord Battlefield. I’d like to witness your strength as well.”

Before Duan Ling Tian entered closed-door cultivation, Xue Hai Chuan had already said that he would follow Duan Ling Tian into the Lord Battlefield to ensure Duan Ling Tian’s safety. He naturally would not forget his promise.

Dongfang Yan Nian’s eyes lit up immediately. “Both of you plan to enter the Lord Battlefield together? I’ve been very free recently. I’ll join both of you!”

“You want to join us?” Xue Hai Chuan smiled meaningfully as he asked, “Have you spoken to Xue Li? Has she given you permission to join us?”

Xue Hai Chuan continued to say, “I remember the last time I invited you to enter the Lord Battlefield with me, you disappeared after Xue Li spoke to you.”

Dongfang Yan Nian rolled his eyes. “That’s because you’re a madman! Previously, you took the initiative and provoked two Underworld Elders. After exhausting both of them, you only managed to kill one of them. You were quite roughed up as well. If the other Underworld Elder weren’t so cowardly, you’d end up even worse! Do you think Xue Li will allow me to enter the Lord Battlefield with a dangerous and mad person like you?”

Duan Ling Tian looked at Xue Hai Chuan in surprise when he heard Dongfang Yan Nian’s words.

When Xue Hai Chuan saw Duan Ling Tian looking at him, he shook his head and said, “Little Tian, don’t listen to him. I was just unlucky at that time. I thought they were two ordinary elders of the Tai Yi Sect; I didn’t expect them to be Underworld Elders. I had no choice but to fight and try to draw out the battle to exhaust them. Fortunately, I managed to kill one of them, and the other was frightened into fleeing. However, even if he didn’t run away, I could still trap him.”

Dongfang Yan Nian said angrily, “Trap him? If you tried to trap, you’d most likely die too, right? You lunatic! Your speed is very fast. If you knew they’d be difficult opponents, why couldn’t you flee? Why did you have to stay and fight? It wouldn’t have been difficult for you to flee! You were betting with your life! You were hoping you’d be able to exhaust their Divine Energies enough while conserving your own Divine Energy. However, there was no guarantee you’d be safe!”

In the Imperial War Realm and the three battlefields, one could not replenish one’s Divine Energy by absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy since there was none. One could only rely on divine pills to replenish one’s Divine Energy. However, it would take time for divine pills to work. Moreover, the input would likely not be able to catch up with the output of the Divine Energy.

Xue Hai Chuan said seriously, “I didn’t risk my life. As soon as those two old men attacked, I knew their stamina couldn’t compare to mine. I already knew I would be able to kill one of them by drawing out the battle. I won’t take risks for nothing.”

Dongfang Yan Nian sighed and no longer argued with Xue Hai Chuan. He said, “Anyway, I’ll definitely join both of you this time. I’m sure Xue Li will agree. After all, Little Tian will be with us; I’m not only going with you. I’ll just tell her that I’m afraid you’ll get Little Tian killed with your reckless behavior so I decided to join both of you to protect Little Tian. I’ll tell her I plan to bring Little Tian with me and leave you behind.”

Duan Ling Tian and Xue Hai Chuan were still looking at Dongfang Yan Nian with speechless expressions on their faces when Dongfang Yan Nian smiled and said, “Alright. I’ve already spoken to her through Voice Transmission. She told me to protect Little Tian well. When are we leaving? Now?”

In a remote valley in the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.

A middle-aged man, who was sitting cross-legged on a black stone in front of a waterfall, suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes as he grinned and muttered to himself, “Duan Ling Tian has left Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground and is heading toward the Imperial War Realm’s entrance?”

However, after a moment, the grin on his face vanished abruptly, and his expression darkened. “Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian are with him? Do they know Duan Ling Tian will encounter danger on his way to the entrance of the Imperial War Realm? No, that’s impossible!”
