War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3488: Vigilant

Chapter 3488: Vigilant


Duan Ling Tian did not expect to see Ru Lai here. However, when he recalled Ru Lai’s position, he thought it was not surprising that Ru Lai was here. Since the t.i.tle Temple had paid a price so the partic.i.p.ants who advanced to the fifth round could visit the Primeval Cliff, it was only natural that the t.i.tle Temple would be maintaining order and verifying the partic.i.p.ants’ ident.i.ties.


“Sir, once the people from the t.i.tle Temple confirm your ident.i.ty, the people from the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven will lead you to the Primeval Cliff,” the disciple from the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven explained.


Although it was not without reason that Ru Lai was here, Duan Ling Tian still found it strange that someone with Ru Lai’s position, a Temple Master of a t.i.tle Temple branch, would personally come here just to verify the partic.i.p.ants’ ident.i.ties.


When Duan Ling Tian thought about Ru Lai’s behavior previously, he grew even more vigilant. In the end, he decided to send his master, Feng Qing Yang, a message.


“Master, I’m going to visit the Primeval Cliff. Those from the t.i.tle Temple are here to verify our ident.i.ties, and Temple Master Ru Lai is here as well. I find it strange that the Temple Master of the t.i.tle Temple in Pavilion Shaft Heaven would be here to personally verify the partic.i.p.ants’ ident.i.ties. Even a Vice Temple Master of a t.i.tle Temple branch would be out of place doing such a job, right?”


Previously, Ru Lai was bold enough to probe him even when his master was around. Now that his master was not present, he was not certain what Ru Lai would do. He had no idea why Ru Lai would behave in such a manner. He thought it was likely that it had something to do with him being a Yan Huang Ent.i.ty.


Regardless, Duan Ling Tian thought it was best to inform his master about this matter for his safety. Moreover, it seemed like his master had a rather good relations.h.i.+p with the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven. It should not be a problem if his master decided to visit the Primeval Cliff as well.



Just as Duan Ling Tian expected, Feng Qing Yang went to see Ding Fu immediately. Since the Primeval Cliff belonged to Ding Fu, he and his companions could naturally come and go as he pleased.



Duan Ling Tian who had thought Ru Lai would cause trouble for him was surprised when Ru Lai let him pa.s.s without saying anything.


‘What is he scheming?’ Instead of feeling relieved, Duan Ling Tian was even more guarded and suspicious. Before he made his way to the Primeval Cliff with Su Li and the others, he sent another message to update his master.


The Primeval Cliff was a cliff on the side of a towering peak that was shrouded by clouds and mist. To go to the cliff, the people from the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven had to deactivate a few Formations to open up a path. The path was also the only path that led to the Primeval Cliff. Without the people from the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven, it would be difficult for others to go to the Primeval Cliff even if they were G.o.ds. This was because the Formations were laid by the first Heavenly Emperor of Primeval Heaven who had attained G.o.dhood a very long time ago. Even at that time, he was already considered a powerhouse among G.o.ds.


After stepping onto the path, Duan Ling Tian’s surroundings brightened and the swirling clouds and mist vanished. A lush and verdant peak with colorful flowers appeared before his eyes as the sounds of birds chirping rang in his ears.


“They are up there!” Tang San Pao exclaimed as he pointed at the sky.


Duan Ling Tian, Su Li, and Ling Jue Yun looked in the direction where Tang San Pao pointed and saw quite a few figures on the peak. However, from where they were standing, the figures looked just like black dots.


As Duan Ling Tian flew closer to the peak, he discovered almost 80 partic.i.p.ants were already there. Even those who were injured during the final bout of the fourth round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses were here. He was not surprised that even those who were injured came. After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve their strength. If they were successful, it would definitely help them during the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.


When they arrived, Su Li stated the obvious by saying, “The laws are scattered around this place… Let’s split up…”


The others nodded.


Duan Ling Tian was looking around to find the place where he could comprehend the law of s.p.a.ce when he heard someone calling out to him.


“Duan Ling Tian!”


Duan Ling Tian, who found the voice vaguely familiar, instinctively turned to look and saw someone he knew but was not familiar with. “Yu Dong Fang?”


Yu Dong Fang was the third true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven. Up until now, he had only shown the strength of a Four Star G.o.d of War.


“Duan Ling Tian, you’re stronger than I expected,” Yu Dong Fang said with a smile when he drew close to Duan Ling Tian, “You’re only a little over 600 years old, but you’ve already possessed the strength of a Five Star G.o.d of War. If I were your age now, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to withstand a strike from you…”


Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly. “You’re pretty strong as well. I’m sure you’re still holding back your strength, and at the very least, you’re as strong as a Five Star G.o.d of War…”


Yu Dong Fang smiled upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. He neither confirmed nor denied those words and only said, “I look forward to fighting you…”


“Likewise.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he said, “I’m going to look for the place to comprehend the law of s.p.a.ce so I’ll talk to you another time…”


“Alright,” Yu Dong Fang said before he left. Similarly, he was also looking for the place where he could comprehend the law he specialized in.


The laws were scattered all over the place, and each spot only allowed one person to comprehend the law. Once someone attached their Divine Consciousness to a place, others would not be able to intrude.


Duan Ling Tian wandered around and found a few places where he could sense the law of s.p.a.ce’s aura. However, the places were all occupied. Although the law of s.p.a.ce was one of the Four Supreme Laws and was mostly not a law that many people comprehended, the people who were allowed in here were outstanding geniuses in their own right, after all.


“Over there!” After a few moments, Duan Ling Tian sensed the law of s.p.a.ce’s aura again. When he saw from afar that the place was unoccupied, he teleported over immediately. When he arrived, he noticed there were quite a few people in his vicinity.


The Primeval Cliff was rather unique. The wall of the cliff looked like it was formed from crystals, and energy could be seen flowing underneath its surface. Sunlight was refracted off the crystal-like wall of the cliff onto all the different places. Strangely, the colors that were refracted from the wall of the cliff to the different places, where the laws were, corresponded with each law’s color. For example, the place where Duan Ling Tian sensed the law of s.p.a.ce’s aura shone with a grey light that was exclusive to the law of s.p.a.ce when it merged with the Celestial Origin Energy.


‘They said I’ll be able to comprehend the law of s.p.a.ce once after I extend my Divine Consciousness…’ Duan Ling Tian only attached half of his Divine Consciousness to the Primeval Cliff. He was still very guarded so he used the other half of his Divine Consciousness to monitor his surroundings.


As soon as Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness, a vision appeared in his mind.


He saw a green-clad old woman fighting a muscular middle-aged man. Based on the middle-aged man’s seemingly indestructible defenses, he seemed to have comprehended the law of earth.


The green-clad old woman waved her hand, sending out a wave of spatial energy. At the same time, nine spatial tears appeared around the middle-aged man. Following that, a grey sword ray shot out of each of the nine spatial tears toward the middle-aged man.


Duan Ling Tian naturally recognized the attack; it was the law of s.p.a.ce’s Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity.


Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!


Initially, the middle-aged man was able to withstand the green-clad old woman’s attack.


However, the green-clad old woman suddenly vanished into thin air. At the same time, the nine grey sword rays dimmed before they merged with the spatial energy. Following that, she reappeared behind the middle-aged man before she used the Transporting Formation to move the spatial energy that had merged with the nine grey sword rays and directed it toward the back of the middle-aged man’s head.


Swoos.h.!.+


Mustard energy surged up from the middle-aged man’s neck toward his head, protecting his head like a s.h.i.+eld. Alas, it was futile.


Swoos.h.!.+


Although the old woman’s attack was not transported behind the middle-aged man’s defenses, it managed to weaken his defenses considerably. Following that, the old woman attacked a few more times before she finally decapitated the middle-aged man.


“It’s a Quadruple Fused Profundity! It’s a fusion of the law of s.p.a.ce’s Transportation Profundity, Teleportation Profundity, Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity, and the Distortion Profundity.”


It should be noted that many Heavenly Emperors had yet to fuse four profundities or comprehend Quadruple Fused Profundities. Not counting Celestial Beasts and Celestial Plants, those who managed to comprehend a Quadruple Fused Profundity would have the strength of an Eight Star G.o.d of War even if they had yet to create a Dao of their own. On top of that, if they comprehended a few more Fused Profundities, they might possibly be as strong as a Nine Star G.o.d of War.


Swoos.h.!.+


After the old woman killed the middle-aged man, the scene in Duan Ling Tian’s mind changed.


The old woman was now hovering above a lake, facing a different opponent. Just like before, she triumphed and killed her opponent.


Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+


Different scenes appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind one after another. After watching all the different scenes, he had gained a deeper understanding of the law of s.p.a.ce after watching the old woman’s battles.


Duan Ling Tian exclaimed inwardly, ‘The Primeval Cliff is really an amazing place. It recorded all the battles fought by one person when a Floating Image Pearl would only be able to record one battle. If there was a Floating Image Pearl that could record all of one’s battles, I’m sure its value wouldn’t be inferior to ordinary Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons.’
