War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2207 He Exhausted All His Strength

It’s a pity that I’ve exhausted the Sun Saint Origin in my body. Otherwise, I can chase after Hao Shuang’s soul. Moreover, since my soul is only at the Saint Celestial Stage Sun’s Flame, I can’t cast any soul offense technique to chase after him as well!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh when he saw Hao Shuang fleeing. It was not that he did not want to kill Hao Shuang, but he was currently powerless to do so.

After Hao Shuang cast the Soul Detaching Technique exclusive to powerhouses at or above the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, although his speed was not its peak, it was still the speed of a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Based on his words before he left, it seems like he holds a grudge against the Black Kshetra Sect as well!’ A hint of bewilderment could be seen in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes when he thought about Hao Shuang’s parting words. ‘Moreover, it seems like he hates the Black Kshetra Sect more than he hates the Fire Worship Sect!’

Hao Shuang came to help the Black Kshetra Sect. However, because of that, he had lost his body and had to flee in a wretched state. Since he had lost his physical body, he could only steal someone else’s body or create a new body for himself. He could only regain his full power if he created a new body, but it would take a longer time for him to do so. He had decided to help the Black Kshetra Sect in exchange for some benefits. The saying, ‘Going out for wool, but coming home shorn’ described him perfectly at this moment. He definitely did not expect such an outcome.

Hao Shuang must hate Black Kshetra Sect to the core since it’s their fault for inviting him here to fight me without doing proper research on my strength. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a wretched state!’ Duan Ling Tian could faintly guess Hao Shuang’s thoughts when he put himself in Hao Shuang’s shoes.

If Hao Shuang knew about Duan Ling Tian’s strength earlier, he would not have fought Duan Ling Tian no matter what the Black Kshetra Sect had offered him.

However, even I didn’t expect that my attack would be so powerful after I send all my Sun Saint Origin that has been raised by the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, into the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword!’ When Duan Ling Tian recalled how the Jasper Celestial Sword had crushed Hao Shuang’s attack without any difficulty and sent the Dharma Rod flying, he was slightly surprised as well. He was not 100% certain of the outcome even though he had used all his strength to attack. At that time, he had felt slightly anxious as well. After all, Hao Shang was the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, and he even possessed the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod. He was invincible among the powerhouses below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

If Duan Ling Tian did not exist, Hao Shuang’s strike would be befitting of someone who was widely known as the strongest powerhouse below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, compared to Duan Ling Tian’s strike, Hao Shuang’s strike that contained all his might paled in comparison. Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

The gap between the force of his strike and mine isn’t that wide, but even a tiny gap makes a huge difference at our level. For this reason, he ended up in such a miserable state!’ Duan Ling Tian counted himself lucky when he thought about this. ‘If I didn’t use all my Sun Saint Origin and merge them with the Jasper Celestial Sword, and wasted it on casting Divine Abilities or consolidating my 10,000 Swords Territory to conceal the sword, my attack might not be able to overpower Hao Shuang’s attack. The outcome might be reversed if I’ve wasted even a little of my Sun Saint Origin. I would’ve been defeated or killed!’ He broke out in cold sweat the more he thought about it. He felt his decision to risk exposing the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword, was the right decision. Even if people found out about how extraordinary it was, it would still be worth it. After all, he managed to survive because of it.

While Duan Ling Tian was deep in thoughts, people in the surroundings began to regain their senses one by one.

All of them were stunned by what had just taken place. Many of them even though they were dreaming and pinched their own thighs to check if they were awake or sleeping.

Let’s determine our victory with just a strike!1 This was Duan Ling Tian’s suggestion to Hao Shuang, a sectless cultivator who was ranked fifth on the Supreme Saint Ranking! He was also the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Moreover, he even possessed the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod. Hao Shuang’s strike was certainly worthy of his title.

When Hao Shuang attacked, everyone thought Duan Ling Tian would be killed or severely injured. However, now that the outcome was clear, they felt like the butt of a joke.

At the critical moment, Duan Ling Tian had used a sword-wielding technique on his sword that had been filled with his Sun Saint Origin that had been raised to its limit. Not only did he send the Dharma Rod flying, but he even killed Hao Shuang’s physical body. He had forced Hao Shuang to abandon his body and cast the Soul Detaching Technique that was exclusive powerhouses at or above the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage before he ran away.

At that time, everyone was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s strength. They were at a loss for words even after Hao Shuang fled far away. This was one of the most shocking moments in their lives.

Everyone turned to look at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief and bewilderment.

Duan Ling Tian finally broke the silence and said calmly, “Black Kshetra Sect, I will spare your lives today since it’s only a matter of time before Devil Clans invade the Upper Province. I don’t want to see the number of powerhouses dwindling during such a time. It’s also because of this that I didn’t kill Hao Shuang and only killed his physical body. I don’t think any of you have any objection, right? Moreover, based on his parting words, it seems like he hates Black Kshetra Sect to the core now. I’m certain he’ll seek revenge from your sect once he recovers.” When he finished speaking, a hint of ridicule could be seen in his eyes.

The people from Black Kshetra Sect paled immediately when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. Initially, they were baffled when Duan Ling Tian let Hao Shuang escape. After all, with the strength he had displayed, it would not be difficult for him to destroy Hao Shuang’s soul. As it turned out, he had intentionally let Hao Shuang go so Hao Shuang would seek revenge from the Black Kshetra Sect in the future.

In other words, Duan Ling Tian wanted to use someone else’s hands to do his dirty work!

Naturally, they did not believe Duan Ling Tian’s spiel about sparing their lives because the Devil Clans would invade the Upper Province soon. If he had really cared about the lack of powerhouses to deal with the Devil Clans, would he have killed Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King, in the first place?

“Guardian Ling Tian...”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the people from Fire Worship Sect could not help but smile. They shared the same thought as the people from Black Kshetra Sect. They also thought he had let Hao Shuang go because he wanted Hao Shuang to seek revenge from the Black Kshetra Sect.

However, based on Hao Shuang’s parting words, it seems like he hates the Fire Worship Sect as well. Guardian Ling Tian shouldn’t have let him go. What if he targets our sect as well once he recovers?!’ The two Vice Sect Leaders of Fire Worship Sect frowned. They felt slightly displeased. Although they felt displeased, they, naturally, did not dare to voice it out. They knew very well that Duan Ling Tian, a Guardian of Fire Worship Sect, would shock everyone in the Dao Martial Saint Land once word about today’s battle spread out. Moreover, he would replace Hao Shuang as the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and rank fifth on the Supreme Saint Ranking. After today, even the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect would treat Duan Ling Tian differently. Was someone like that a person they could willy nilly voice their displeasure to?

Unbeknownst to the people from the Fire Worship Sect and Black Kshetra Sect, none of them was right. They did not know that Duan Ling Tian did not give chase to Hao Shuang’s soul and kill him because he no longer had any energy left to chase after him. It was not because he was afraid of a lack of powerhouses when the Devil Clans invaded the Upper Province nor was it because he wanted Hao Shuang to seek revenge from the Black Kshetra Sect.

The reason was simple. Duan Ling Tian had depleted all his energy.

However, since Duan Ling Tian’s face had regained its colors, and his body was no longer swaying, nobody could tell he had exhausted all his strength.
