War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Yun Zhan who had spoken domineeringly and had threatened to kill Ling Jue Yun earlier was filled with horror and fear as soon as Ling Jue Yun drew out his three-foot-long sword. The sword was clearly an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon that had been boosted by a profundity of a law!

“I surrender! I surrender!” Yun Zhan cried out, afraid that Ling Jue Yun would strike at him with the sword that had gray lightning bolts flashing around it.

“You’re surrendering now?” Ling Jue Yun looked at Yun Zhan that was shrouded by a sandstorm and nonchalantly said, “Isn’t it a little too early for you to surrender?”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, another Ling Jue Yun suddenly appeared. However, this Ling Jue Yun had red eyes and emitted a strange aura.

“I-is that a doppelganger?!”

Xue Jing Yun said in surprise, “I know Ling Jue Yun has comprehended two profundities from the law of death, and this technique is the Undead Doppelganger! However, I didn’t expect him to possess an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon as well!”

Xue Jing Yu had been shocked when Duan Ling Tian drew out his Emperor Grade Celestial Sword earlier. He was shocked again when he discovered Ling Jue Yun possessed an Emperor Grade Celestial Sword as well. His curiosity was piqued. He could not help but wonder if they had obtained it from the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. However, he quickly dismissed the thought. It was impossible.

The other participants were shocked when they heard Xue Jing Yu’s words. They could not help but shake their heads and sighed, feeling pity for Yun Zhan who had provoked a monstrous genius like Ling Jue Yun.

“The law of death? The Undead Doppelganger?”

“This gray-clad young man, Ling Jue Yun, has comprehended the law of death? Moreover, he has also comprehended two profundities from the law of death?”

“The law of death is powerful as it is. Since he has comprehended two profundities, his strength should be on par with Yun Zhan even if he didn’t use his Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!”

“Ling Jue Yun is definitely going to emerge victorious now that he has brought out his Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!”

“You’re stating the obvious. Can’t you see Yun Zhan cowering in fear and waving the white flag? He’s close to kneeling before Ling Jue Yun!”

“Yun Zhan probably didn’t expect he’d be so unfortunate to meet such a strong opponent.”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of wind howling rang in the air followed by a series of explosions.

Ling Jue Yun’s doppelganger charged toward Yun Zhan with the Emperor Grade Celestial Sword in hand. As it drew closer to Yun Zhan, gray sword qis shot out of the sword and formed a wall that surrounded Yun Zhan.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang in the air as Yun Zhan charged against the wall of sword qis in an attempt to breach it. His expression changed drastically when he saw the wall of word qis merely shook for a moment before returning to normal.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of explosions continued to ring in the air.

Before Ling Jue Yun’s doppelganger reached him, Yun Zhan frantically cast all the techniques in his arsenal and used his King Grade Celestial Weapon to break free. Alas, despite his attempts, the wall of sword qis remained standing. Despair was written all over his face at this moment.

When Ling Jue Yun’s doppelganger passed through the wall of sword qis and was about to bring the sword down, Yun Zhang pleaded desperately in a last ditch attempt to save himself, “Please spare me! My possessions are all yours as long as you let me live! Please!”

Yun Zhan’s voice echoed clearly in Time Valley.

Everyone could hear the anguish and despair in his voice. His helplessness was palpable.

At this moment, a miserable cry rang in the air. “No!”

Soon after, silence descended in the valley again.

With this feat, the other participants viewed Ling Jue Yun in a completely new light. In fact, they felt Ling Jue Yun was more formidable than Duan Ling Tian since Ling Jue Yun had comprehended the law of death, one of the Four Supreme Laws. This made them incredibly fearful of him.

“Based on Ling Jue Yun’s strength, with his Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, there’s no doubt he’s a match for Duan Ling Tian. Why did he relinquish the highest stone block to Duan Ling Tian?”

“Ling Jue Yun and Duan Ling Tian were in the same group… They must have a good relationship. Who knows they might even know each other for a long time now?”

“They’re both peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial under 100 years old, and both of them possess an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. They must have come from the same place.”

“What kind of force is able to give their peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon each? Why would they even be interested in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm? Not even the upper realm has anything that interests them, right?”

“Who knows? In any case, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that both of them are in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm at the same time.”

Similar to the others, Xue Jing Yu and the others who were with Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun during the second trial in the Celestial Lord Temple had the same question as well. Did Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun come from the same place and knew each other beforehand?

A slight frown appeared on Xue Jing Yu’s face as he thought to himself, ‘I remember Ling Jue Yun approaching Duan Ling Tian during the end of the first trial in the Celestial Lord Temple. They even spoke privately in another hall… If they knew each other from before, they could’ve just communicated through Voice Transmission in the first place…’ He had a feeling Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun only met not too long ago.

In the end, Xue Jing Yu shook his head and sat cross-legged on the stone block before he began to comprehend the law of time. ‘Whatever, it’s none of my business whether they knew each other from before or not. I better start comprehending the law of time…’

Meanwhile, Murong Xiao Xiao looked at Ling Jue Yun fearfully and said, “With your strength, you could’ve competed with Duan Ling Tian for the highest seat…”

Murong Xiao Xiao had already known Ling Jue Yun was not a simple person after listening to Ou Ya’s words. She had thought his defenses must be remarkable since he had a purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Who knew his offensive power was even more remarkable? It was only natural since he had an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon to boost his attacks.

“What does it have to do with you? It’s none of your business.” Ling Jue Yun scowled at her disdainfully before he closed his eyes and began to comprehend the law of time.

Murong Xiao Xiao’s words had touched a nerve in Ling Jue Yun. He was not afraid of Duan Ling Tian and could hold his own against Duan Ling Tian. However, since Huang’er had to depend on Duan Ling Tian now that she became his soul artifact, he had no choice but to yield to Duan Ling Tian in fear of Duan Ling Tian venting his anger on Huang’er.

“Y-you!” Murong Xiao Xiao’s expression soured immediately. Similar to Duan Ling Tian, Ling Jue Yun was rude to her. They were nothing like the men who fawned over her. She even began to wonder if she had lost her charm. Little did she know, Ling Jue Yun came from an extraordinary background and had met many women who were much more beautiful than her. Moreover, she was not even as beautiful as Huang’er who had become the artifact soul of Duan Ling Tian’s artifact.

Murong inhaled deeply to calm her anger. She decided not to waste any more time and began to comprehend the law of time.

Meanwhile, some participants resumed fighting over stone blocks and some of them began to comprehend the law of time.

…

After a day and night had passed, Time Valley finally regained its tranquility.

Everyone was now seated on their own stone block.

Duan Ling Tian who was seated on the highest stone block looked calm. However, inwardly, he was in turmoil.

Due to being seated at the highest point, his progress was, naturally, ahead of the others since he could feel the flow of time more clearly than the others. Moreover, he was the first to begin comprehending the law of time.

‘The law of time is mysterious and tricky. It can be fast, it can be slow, and it can even stop. This must be the effect from the law of time’s Fundamental Profundity, the Time Elemental Profundity!’

‘Time is fleeting… No one is able to escape from the clutches of time. Perhaps, an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon like the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda could slow down time for a while, but it has no way of reversing or stopping time at all. A hundred years or thousand years can pass with a thought. A thought, a cycle…”

Duan Ling Tian was so immersed in comprehending the law of time that he was completely oblivious to his surroundings.
