War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

It was just as the seemingly young centurion had expected. Although Duan Ling Tian’s attack was powerful, it was not powerful enough to kill him. After all, the force of the attack had been offset by his offensive and defensive techniques. At most, he would be severely injured.The seemingly young centurion spat out a mouthful of blood caused by his injuries. By all means, he should have been happy that he had escaped death. However, he was upset because Duan Ling Tian did not die from his soul attack. An expression of unwillingness could be seen on his face, he had a difficulty accepting this outcome. “I-Impossible! How can a mere Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial survive my soul attack? Impossible!”

Similarly, the middle-aged centurion looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he had seen a ghost as well. He was also certain Duan Ling Tian would be killed by his companion’s soul attack. “H-how did he survive? Is… Is he really a Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial who has just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven?” An incredulous expression was etched on his face at this moment.

The eight decurions, including Wang Wei, were flabbergasted by this as well.

“H-How’s this possible?”

“This newly-ascended young man managed to survive Lord Centurion’s soul attack? How did he survive?”

“U-Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable!”

“Initially, when Lord Centurion brought up soul attacks, I had thought of attacking the young man with my soul attack first to display my strength in front of Lord Centurion. In hindsight, I’m glad I didn’t do it!”

“How did he survive Lord Centurion’s soul attack? He’s completely unharmed!” Wang Wei looked at Duan Ling Tian with lingering fear on his face. Similarly, he had planned to use soul attack on Duan Ling Tian earlier. He would have made an enemy out of Duan Ling Tian if he had done that. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s strength, even the two centurions would not be able to protect him.

A thought suddenly appeared in the seemingly young centurion’s mind before he exclaimed, “Y-you must have a soul defense Celestial Weapon!” His face paled immediately. This was the only explanation a Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial could escape unscathed from his soul attack!

“Soul defense Celestial Weapon? That seems like the only explanation,” the middle-aged centurion said.

Upon hearing this, the eight decurions, including Wang Wei, agreed with their centurions’ words.

“Why didn’t I think of that?”

“That’s right! How could he have survived a soul attack from our centurion when he’s just a mere Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial who has just ascended? He definitely possesses a soul defense Celestial Weapon!”

“If he truly has a soul defense Celestial Weapon, it would compensate for the weakness of his soul.”

“Soul defense Celestial Weapons are the rarest among Celestial Weapons. The price of a soul defense Celestial Weapon is no cheaper than the cost of a mediocre offensive Celestial Weapon.”

As the eight decurions continued their discussion, their eyes were filled with greed and envy when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. This was especially true for Wang Wei.

“I wonder what’s the grade of his soul defense Celestial Weapon?”

“If his soul defense Celestial Weapon is merely a primitive Celestial Weapon, it would only be able to defend against soul attacks from Heavenly Celestials at most. It wouldn’t be able to defend against Golden Celestials or those who are stronger.”

“I think his soul defense Celestial Weapon is a primitive Celestial Weapon. After all, soul defense Celestial Weapons are extremely rare. Moreover, he has just ascended, it’s unlikely that the grade of his weapon is high.”

“I disagree. Don’t forget that the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities he mastered are extraordinary. There’s a high chance that his soul defense Celestial Weapon is of a high grade”

“That’s true…”

Meanwhile, nary a ripple could be seen on Duan Ling Tian’s face as he said to the seemingly young centurion, “I gave you a chance earlier.” A chilling killing intention flashed across his eyes as though he was about to kill the centurion!

The seemingly young centurion’s expression changed dramatically when he saw the killing intent in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. His voice trembled from fear as he said, “Y-you-you can’t kill me! I’m the Centurion of Silverwyrm Army. If you kill me, you’ll risk offending the entire Silverwyrm Army!” Not to mention that he was currently injured and had lost his Celestial Weapon, even if he was in peak form, he still would not be a match for the purple-clad young man. It was difficult enough for him to survive Duan Ling Tian’s first attack. If Duan Ling Tian attacked again, there was no doubt that he would die!

“Silverwyrm Army?” Duan Ling Tian laughed when he heard the centurion’s word. “So only the Silverwyrm Army is allowed to kill and we’re not allowed to fight back? Moreover, I gave you a chance earlier!” His eyes flashed coldly as thousands of dazzling sword rays shot out of his body.

The middle-aged centurion was shocked when he felt Duan Ling Tian’s killing intent. His body instinctively moved to help his companion.

“I’ll only kill him today. Those who help him will die with him!” Duan Ling Tian said.

The middle-aged centurion stopped in his tracks as a frisson of fear ran through him as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

On the other hand, the eight decurions stiffened immediately, not daring to move at all.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sound of swords howling rang in the air shortly before Duan Ling Tian killed the seemingly young centurion who was gravely injured.

A wretched scream accompanied the death of the Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial who stood at the peak among Heavenly Celestials.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian lifted his hand and the seemingly young centurion’s Spatial Ring flew into his hand. The ring would be useful to him. After all, he could not bring his Spatial Ring from the mundane realm here. ‘This will save me the time of having to look for another Spatial Ring.’

The Spatial Rings in Devata Realms were of celestial grade. Spatial Rings in Devata Realms were easily obtained as long as one was strong. On the contrary, even the most common offensive Celestial Weapons were so rare that usually only Golden Celestials or those who were stronger possessed them. Heavenly Celestials who possessed them usually had a strong supporter. For example, the two centurions possessed Celestial Weapons due to the Silverwyrm Army that had support from the Bloody Specter City!

Swoosh!

After Duan Ling Tian killed the centurion, he put the Celestial Weapons and Spatial Ring away before he disappeared in a flash.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian disappeared from sight, Wang Wei looked at the middle-aged centurion with eyes red from anger and said, “Lord Centurion, are we going to just let him go? If today’s incident spread out, we will be shamed. It would be even worse if the Black Dragon Army learns that a Centurion of the Silverwyrm Army’s Centurion is killed by someone who has just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven. They will definitely mock us for this!” He was filled with resentment and hate. Although his words that were filled with righteous indignation seemed to indicate he was concerned about the Silverwyrm Army’s reputation, the truth was, he was more concerned about himself. After all, Duan Ling Tian had severed his arm and leg.

As a centurion, the middle-aged man was, naturally, not easily fooled or swayed with words. He looked at Wang Wei coldly and sneered. “Don’t pretend. You just want to seek revenge by using the army!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei lowered his head immediately.

Another decurion stepped forward and said, “Lord Centurion, perhaps, Wang Wei has a personal stake in this. However, his words have merit. If this matter spreads out, we’ll become a laughingstock. We, the Decurions of the Silverwyrm Army, definitely won’t spread word of this. However, the same could not be said for that newly-ascended young man. After all, this would raise his credibility.”

The other decurions nodded in agreement.

“Naturally, I understand that. I’ll return to the camp now and personally report this to Lord Captain!” The middle-aged centurion left as soon as he finished speaking.
