War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2304 A Death Trap?

The reason for Duan Ling Tian’s temporary concession was simple. As long he and Yuwen Hao Chen successfully overcame the Heavenly Tribulation and became Eminent Celestials, Yuwen Hao Chen would no longer be a threat to him since Yuwen Hao Chen would have already used the technique to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation!

An Eminent Celestial would gain the Celestial Origin Energy that was unique to Eminent Celestials. It was so powerful that even a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had completely comprehended heaven and earth was inferior.

I’d like to see how Yuwen Hao Chen will defeat me once I become an Eminent Celestial!’ Duan Ling Tian looked at Yuwen Hao Chen eagerly, anticipating their next fight. Soon after, he shifted his gaze away and fully focused his attention on overcoming the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. ‘There are 81 bolts of tribulation lightning in a Celestial Ascension Tribulation... Each one is more powerful than the last! It won’t be simple to overcome it.’ He gazed at the Tribulation Clouds with a heavy heart.

He actually conceded?” Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, was disappointed when he saw Duan Ling Tian decided to concede even though it was a fairly obvious choice. He had been preparing to watch a show. Who knew Duan Ling Tian would back down?

It would’ve been good if Duan Ling Tian didn’t back down. At that time, Yuwen Hao Chen would have to use the inherited technique to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation to kill Duan Ling Tian. At that time, Yuwen Hao Chen might even fail the Heavenly Tribulation since he had lost his biggest trump card! It would be like killing two birds with one stone!’ Naturally, this outcome was the most beneficial to Shi Nan Feng.

Although Yuwen Hao Chen becoming an Eminent Celestial was good for the Human-Devil clan, personally, it was bad for him and the Great Spirit Palace.

Shi Nan Feng was a selfish person. As the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, it was only natural that he hoped that Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen would fall into a disadvantageous position. Duan Ling Tian would die, and Yuwen Hao Chen would fail his Heavenly Tribulation!

Nevertheless, isn’t Yuwen Hao Chen worried that Duan Ling Tian will kill him once he overcomes the Heavenly Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial?’ Shi Nan Feng thought with a frown on his face. If Yuwen Hao Chen was killed, then, he and the Great Spirit Palace would be Duan Ling Tian’s next target.

Yuwen Hao Chen should be aware that he would not be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian once he passed the Heavenly Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial!

Right, there’s something I forgot!’ Shi Nan Feng’s frown deepened when he thought of another thing, “Duan Ling Tian didn’t attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation on his own, he’s relying on the Celestial Ascension Tribulation that Yuwen Hao Chen attracted...’ Shi Nan Feng thought to himself, ‘In the history of the Devil Clans, there are quite a number of people who opt to face the Celestial Ascension Tribulation like he did. However, none of them was successful! No wonder Yuwen Hao Chen isn’t worried about his life being in danger after Duan Ling Tian becomes an Eminent Celestial. After all, it’s unlikely that Duan Ling Tian would even pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Yuwen Hao Chen doesn’t think Duan Ling Tian would be able to overcome the tribulation!’ At this moment, Shi Nan Feng finally figured out Yuwen Hao Chen’s thoughts.

“I’ve wasted my time regarding Duan Ling Tian as my mortal enemy... As it turns out, he already has one foot in the coffin!” When Shi Nan Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian again, the wariness and fear in his eyes had completely vanished. Currently, he looked at Duan Ling Tian as though Duan Ling Tian was already a dead man.

The onlookers began to discuss among themselves again as Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen came to a temporary cease-fire. Both of them were waiting for the third lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation to strike.

“Duan Ling Tian is wise for backing down at this moment. As long as he manages to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace will definitely not be a match for him!”

“Yes. Palace Master Yuwen will probably use the inherited technique to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation... After he overcomes the Heavenly Tribulation, he wouldn’t have anything left to deal with Duan Ling Tian who has become an Eminent Celestial with.”

“I really don’t know what’s going through his mind. If I were him, I would definitely use the technique to kill Duan Ling Tian. After all, it’s not certain that he’ll fail the Heavenly Tribulation even if he doesn’t use that technique!”

“Indeed. Even without the inherited technique, Yuwen Hao Chen might not necessarily fail the Heavenly Tribulation. However, he’s placed himself in a disadvantageous position now. His only saving grace now is if Duan Ling Tian fails the Heavenly Tribulation!” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

“Based on the current situation, Palace Master Yuwen really doesn’t intend on using that technique to kill Duan Ling Tian who had conceded.”

The people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls spoke loudly as though they were at the market. Naturally, their conversation was overheard by the people from Wandering Saint Palace.

In just an instant, the expression on the faces of the people from Wandering Saint Palace hardened and their smiles disappeared. However, their expressions changed again when a Vice Palace Master from Wandering Saint Palace spoke up. They began to smile again and a twinkle could be seen in their eyes.

The Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace said, “In the Devil Clans’ history, those who relied on other’s Celestial Ascension Tribulation to attract their own Celestial Ascension Tribulation have never managed to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation! After all, it’s not their own Celestial Ascension Tribulation. This means he’s not ready to face the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.”

“That’s right... I’ve read about this in ancient records. Indeed. None of the people who relied on other’s Celestial Ascension Tribulation had managed to successfully overcome it!”

“Why didn’t I think of that? That must be why Lord Palace Master is so calm. He must have thought about this!”

Someone laughed. “If that is the case, Lord Palace Master doesn’t even have to dirty his hands to kill Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian will probably be killed by the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!”

As the Wandering Saint Palace’s elders and disciples talked, broad smiles could be seen on their faces. Their mood lightened immediately.

Meanwhile, those from the Three Palaces and Six Halls overheard the words of the Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace and realized they had over-thought things.

“This is why he’s the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. He has already thought about this!”

“Does this mean it’s impossible for Duan Ling Tian to succeed?”

“Of course! No one has done it before. Do you think he’ll be an exception?”

The others looked at Duan Ling Tian with hints of pity in their eyes.

Naturally, these people’s conversations were heard by Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan. Three of them paled instantly.

“Uncle Peng Lai... Is it true?” Duan Si Ling asked as she looked at Peng Lai who was near her. Her baby face was filled with worries. Duan Si Ling was no longer the naive young girl she once was. She knew the precarious situation her father was in after listening to the conversation around her.

Ke’er and Gan Ru Yan turned to look at Peng Lai as well when Duan Si Ling finished speaking. They were clearly curious about the answer as well. At this moment, they had fervently hoped that Peng Lai would tell them it was all an exaggeration. However, when they saw the grim expression on his face, their hearts sank. Ke’er, in particular, turned even paler.

Peng Lai said solemnly, “If they didn’t mention it, I would’ve forgotten about it. Indeed, no one has successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation by relying on others’ Heaven Tribulations.” When he saw their worries, he tried to console them and said, “However, master is not from the Devil Clans. Perhaps, he can create a miracle! It might be difficult for others, but this doesn’t apply to master.” Although these words of consolation were said by him, in all honesty, he did not have high hopes as well.

A miracle!

After hearing Peng Lai’s words, the three girls’ expressions eased up slightly even though they knew he was merely comforting them. When they turned to look at Duan Ling Tian again, they looked at him with hope gleaming in their eyes. Although the chance was slim, they still hoped Duan Ling Tian would be able to create a miracle!

There will be a miracle... Brother Tian has created so many miracles along his journey. This will not be an exception!’ Ke’er thought to herself as she stared at Duan Ling Tian intently, ‘If something happens to Brother Tian, I won’t live without him!’ She already knew what she would do if Duan Ling Tian perished. ‘Si Ling and my sister...’ Ke’Er did not dare continue that train of thought. At this moment, she desperately wished for her man to create another miracle... For their daughter and her sister, if not for anything else!

From a distance, Yun Fu Ye sneered as he glanced at Huang Wen Jing who was standing next to him. “Duan Ling Tian can’t escape death after all!”
