War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4363 Personal Demon Guard

The voice was so loud that it could be heard in Duan Ling Tian’s original spot and the distant place he had gone where he could no longer be seen by the four groups of people.

Upon hearing the thunderous voice, the eyes of the four leaders dressed in black armor, otherwise known as Decurions, who led people to besiege and kill Duan Ling Tian, lit up with fanaticism.

“Lord Centurion!”

The owner of the voice was the four leaders’ Centurion. He was a top advanced Supreme God. Even if ten Decurions joined forces, they still would not be able to defeat him. Under the Crimson Demon, there were only eight Centurions in the Crimson Demon Ridge.

“My strongest law is also the law of space! I’ll play with you!”

As soon as the Centurion’s voice fell, Duan Ling Tian felt the space in surroundings was once again disrupted, preventing him from teleporting away. After discovering this, he did not linger and quickly flew away.

Duan Ling Tian could sense that the other party was an advanced Supreme God. Although the other party was possibly stronger than the demon in the sea, he was confident he could kill the party if he went all out. However, what would happen after he killed the other party. Was there a more powerful person? Was there a supreme powerhouse?

‘Danger lurks everywhere in the Outer Boundary. It’s best that I leave this territory as soon as possible!’

After confirming that this place was an occupied territory, Duan Ling Tian wanted nothing more than to leave this place.

Unable to teleport, Duan Ling Tian continued to fly. As he flew, he said earnestly in a low voice, “Sir, I strayed into this place unintentionally. If I offended you, I hope you’ll forgive me. I have no intention of making an enemy out of you. I only want to leave your territory now…”

A burst of thunderous laughter rang in the air again.

“Everyone who comes here is a guest of ours. You should stay!”

The voice was getting closer and closer to Duan Ling Tian.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian suddenly discovered a Formation that he failed to notice before. The Formation quickly blocked him and prevented him from leaving. The Formation’s power was like surging waves as it rolled toward him. Although its power was not strong and could not hurt him, it hindered his way forward.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened immediately. He knew that the person who had spoken earlier controlled this Formation. It was unlikely that the four leaders and their men whom he encountered earlier were capable of controlling the Formation. Otherwise, they would have used the Formation earlier to stop him from leaving. Moreover, the Formation also contained spatial energy that prevented him from teleporting. If those people were capable of using the Formation, they would have used the Formation instead of relying on those who comprehended the law of space to disrupt the space.

‘This person is obviously those people’s superior,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Not long after Duan Ling Tian was forced to stop by the Formation, he saw a middle-aged man in black armor whose body emitted blood qi. He had a square jaw and pair of eyebrows that made him look fierce. He stared at Duan Ling Tian with a teasing smile as he said, “An intermediate Supreme God like you is definitely the top prodigy among prodigies. Alas, in front of a powerful advanced Supreme God, your strength is not enough!”

Subsequently, the middle-aged man flew toward Duan Ling Tian and cast his strongest law, which was the law of fire. In just an instant, flames surged into the sky, making him look like an invincible fire god.

The Divine Energy of an advanced Supreme God surged just as the phenomenon of the law that shone for ten thousand miles appeared. However, in the next moment, the range of the phenomenon grew, indicating that his comprehension of the law of fire was much more profound that Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the law of space.

Boom!

The middle-aged man brought his weapon. It was a huge mace; it was longer than two meters, exceeding his height, and its width was more than 1.5 meters. The weapon did not look like it was made for an ordinary person, even if the person was 2 meters tall. The weapon looked more suited to be used by a ten-meter-tall giant.

Although the mace was big, it did not seem unwieldy in the middle-aged man’s hands. In fact, he wielded it nimbly. When he swung it, the flames in the sky surged again. It was as though countless flaming meteors were descending from the sky.

When the middle-aged man swung the huge mace toward Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian clearly sensed that the huge mace was weaker than his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. It seemed like it did not absorb as many fragments of prime divine artifacts as the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword did. In fact, it was even weaker than the weapon of the demon he encountered earlier.

‘He’s stronger than the huge demon, but his weapon is inferior to that of the huge demon…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He was slightly puzzled. Generally, those who were more powerful would have better weapons.

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that humans and demons were different. For demons, they could kill wantonly as long as they left their group, allowing them to obtain better weapons. Conversely, humans were more orderly. Although there were also humans who killed wantonly, not many people dared to do so. After all, they would become the public enemy. It would not be so bad if they were really powerful. Otherwise, they would be hunted down and killed in the end.

Seeing the mace and its artifact soul falling down from the sky, Duan Ling Tian quickly summoned the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword’s soul.

“Huang’er!”

The power from Duan Ling Tian’s law of space surged, and he quickly used the Sword Dao. Before using the Sword Dao, there was quite a gap between his and his opponent’s strength. However, with the Sword Dao, not only did he close the gap, but he even surpassed the other party.

“Sword Dao!”

When the middle-aged man saw his attack being blocked and continuously pushed back by a sword that suddenly rose into the sky, his expression changed drastically. Following that, the blood qi lingering on his body surged as he used his bloodline power.

Humans in the Outer Boundary either possessed bloodline powers or the ability to form doppelgangers. The middle-aged man clearly belonged to the former group.

After using his bloodline power, the middle-aged man’s attack grew a little stronger. However, he was still in a disadvantageous position and was completely suppressed by Duan Ling Tian.

The middle-aged man thought that the purple-clad young man in front of him would take advantage of the situation to attack or even kill him, but he soon discovered that the other party had suddenly retreated.

At the critical moment, when the seven-colored sword ray annihilated the middle-aged man’s attack, the sword spun and sent him flying instead of cleaving him into two. As he flew back, a hint of gratitude could be seen in his eyes that shone with fear.

In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian heard the middle-aged man say, “Thank you for showing mercy! If you want to leave this place, please go right. After crossing thirteen hills, you’ll no longer be in the Crimson Demon Ridge’s territory. However, during the journey, you’ll encounter a Centurion. If you leave in the other directions, you’ll encounter more than two Centurions. If you follow my direction, the Centurion you encounter will definitely make a move. However, if you don’t kill him, he likely won’t notify Lord Crimson Demon’s personal demon guard immediately.”

The middle-aged man paused for a moment before he continued to say, “If the personal demon guard makes a move, he can activate all the Formations in the Crimson Demon Ridge. Even if your strength is on par with his, you still won’t be able to leave. Leave as far as you can. If you stay here, the life of a monstrous prodigy like you will be ruined.”

Since Duan Ling Tian spared the middle-aged man’s life at the critical moment, the middle-aged man decided to remind Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission. “After a few breaths, I must contact Lord Crimson Demon’s personal demon guard. Otherwise, I’ll be punished for being irresponsible. If the Crimson Demon holds me accountable, even if he doesn’t kill me, he’ll skin me alive.”

Swoosh!

The middle-aged man had not even finished speaking before Duan Ling Tian flew to the right, following the middle-aged man’s direction. After flying for a while, he teleported away.

‘Lord Crimson Demon? Based on his words, it seems like the Crimson Demon’s personal demon guard is stronger than him. If that’s the case, I’m afraid the personal demon guard isn’t any weaker than the top advanced Supreme Gods in all of the God Defying World’s Realms of Gods’ prime supreme-rank forces. Then, the Crimson Demon must be a supreme powerhouse!’

Duan Ling Tian was frightened when he thought about this. Then, when he recalled his time in the sea, he concluded that the Crimson Demon was much likely stronger than the most powerful demons in the sea since the Crimson Demon dared to occupy the territory so close to the sea.

…

After Duan Ling Tian left, the four groups of people, who surrounded Duan Ling Tian earlier, followed the middle-aged man’s voice and finally arrived. When they arrived, they saw that the middle-aged man was injured and coughing up blood. The middle-aged man was clearly struggling to stay conscious.

“Lord Centurion?!”

The four leaders’ expressions changed immediately. They quickly took off the helmets on their heads, revealing the shocked expressions on their faces. It seemed like the purple-clad young man was stronger than their Centurion. They could not help but wonder if he was truly just an intermediate Supreme God.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All of a sudden, they heard the sounds of fighting in the right direction. Following that, they heard a stern voice say, “Centurions, I’m no match for this invader! Come and assist me quickly!”

…

The Centurion Duan Ling Tian encountered reacted differently from the middle-aged Centurion from earlier. This Centurion was unwilling to let him go and was adamant on opposing him despite being no match for him.

“Scram!” Duan Ling Tian cried out. His expression darkened when he sensed a few powerful auras surging in the distance, including the aura of the middle-aged man whom he defeated earlier. At the same time, a seven-colored sword ray shot out.

Duan Ling Tian did not kill the Centurion, but he dealt a heavy blow on the Centurion, seriously injuring the Centurion and knocking the Centurion unconscious.

‘I have to leave Crimson Demon Ridge quickly!’

After finding out that the Crimson Demon Ridge was the territory of a supreme powerhouse, Duan Ling Tian wanted to leave even more. He fled into the distance, crossing hills after hills. According to the middle-aged man, he would leave the Crimson Demon Ridge after crossing thirteen hills. Once he was out of the Crimson Demon Ridge, he would no longer have to worry about being restricted by the Formations.

However, just as the thirteenth hill appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s sight, he suddenly sensed something and quickly moved back.

Swoosh!

Following that, a saber ray shot out from the front with overwhelming power. It seemed capable of splitting the sky and cleaving the earth.

When the saber ray appeared, a phenomenon of the law that shone further than ten thousand miles appeared.

Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian could also sense a trace of the Saber Dao from the attack. He quickly extended his Divine Consciousness. After a moment, his expression changed drastically into one of fear.

‘The phenomenon shines for a hundred thousand miles?!’

In the Outer Boundary, when someone’s law could manifest the phenomenon that shone for a hundred thousand miles, it meant that he or she had comprehended the law to the perfect form.

If an advanced Supreme God did not comprehend any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth or any special and powerful techniques, he or she would still be considered a top advanced Supreme God if he or she comprehended a law to the perfect form.

“Master Cang!”

In the next moment, following the respect cries that rang in the air, a lightning bolt flashed and struck the ground not far from Duan Ling Tian. Subsequently, a tall and strong topless man who was three-meter-tall appeared. He stared at Duan Ling Tian with a bloodthirsty expression on his face.

‘He… Is he the Crimson Demon’s personal demon guard whom the middle-aged man mentioned earlier?’ Duan Ling Tian was horrified as he guessed the identity of the person in front of him.
