War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4397 Another Choice

After the voice rang from the inner city of Dancing Sun City, before Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he heard a loud scoff before another voice said, “Zong Yuan Jue, do you have brain regression? How can you ask such a stupid question? Today, I, Chi Ming, am not only going to provoke all of you, but also destroy the five major forces!”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian, who had just arrived near the city wall, saw terrifying beams of light shooting down from the sky. They were like pillars that imprisoned the entire Dancing Sun City.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the beams of light that easily destroyed the city walls, and his heart skipped a beat. At the same time, he heard the World Cleansing Divine Water’s solemn warning from his Little World.

“Little Tian, this supreme powerhouse has sealed off the entire city. This means his power covers the entire city now. Don’t act rashly. If you attack the light beams, there’ll be consequences. You haven’t comprehended your laws to the perfect form so you’ll die from the backlash. Also, your Sword Dao is strong so it’ll only attract a greater backlash.”

Duan Ling Tian did not close his Little World and left a small opening so the World Cleansing Divine Water could monitor the situation in the outside world. This was to prevent him from wandering into dangerous places. If he had let the World Cleansing Divine Water monitor the situation as soon as he arrived in the Outer Boundary, he would not have wandered so deep into Crimson Demon Ridge.

When the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements helped Duan Ling Tian escape from the Crimson Demon’s Little World, they had exhausted almost all of their energies. However, because Duan Ling Tian needed the World Cleansing Divine Water, the other four Divine Elements bore more of the burden during the escape. As such, the other four Divine Elements had now fallen into a deep sleep while the World Cleansing Divine Water stayed awake because her energy consumption was not very high.

“Then what should I do now?” Duan Ling Tian asked. His heart raced in his chest, and he could not help but feel nervous.

This was a battle between supreme powerhouses. He would die if they destroyed the city.

“You can’t force your way out of the city,” the World Cleansing Divine Water said solemnly, “It’s best if you stay in the midst of the demons from Chi Ming Mountain. When the supreme demon fights the five supreme powerhouses, it’s likely that he’ll take the demons’ safety into consideration. Similarly, the five supreme powerhouses will also consider their descendants’ safety when they fight, but I have a feeling that Chi Ming Mountain will win this battle. If you choose to stay with the humans, I’m afraid you’ll die when the five major forces are defeated…”

Duan Ling Tian frowned when he heard the World Cleansing Divine Water’s words.

‘Another choice… I have to make another choice again…’

Since Duan Ling Tian came to the Outer Boundary, he had been making choices regarding his life and death. In fact, he was not weak now even in the Outer Boundary. It was difficult to find anyone below the realm of supreme powerhouses who was on par with him unless the other party was an advanced Supreme God who had comprehended the law to the paramount stage.

“Sister Water, you said that I should be with the demons from Chi Ming Mountain, but I’m human, after all. How am I going to follow them without arousing any conflict?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“There’s no need to be afraid of conflict,” the World Cleansing Divine Water said indifferently, “Just follow the group of huge demons. If they attack you, you can just defend yourself. With your current strength, do you think they have the ability to kill you? In my opinion, you should follow the giant ape you defeated earlier. You spared his life after all. With his tribe’s character, he won’t repay kindness with revenge.”

Based on the World Cleansing Divine Water, it was obvious that she recognized the giant ape’s tribe.

“Sister Water, why do you think the five major forces of Dancing Sun City will lose? It seems like you have a low opinion of the five supreme powerhouses,” Duan Ling Tian asked with a slight frown. He felt that it was too risky and reckless to entrust his life to the demons.

The World Cleansing Divine Water replied, “It’s not like that. However, since the supreme demon from Chi Ming Mountain dared to provoke them, it shows that he’s confident, and I’m sure he has also considered the five supreme powerhouses’ hidden trump cards as well. As such, what I proposed to you was what I thought was the safest choice. If you stay close to the humans, do you think the supreme demon will spare you, a human, once he destroyed the five major forces? On the contrary, if the humans win, you just need to kill a few huge demons. Not only will they be impressed, but they might invite you to join their respective forces. After all, even among the five major forces, they only have a few advanced Supreme Gods on par with you.”

Realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian after he listened to the World Cleansing Divine Water’s explanation. Once again, he was reminded that the World Cleansing Divine Water had his best interest in mind and that the choice she gave him was also the safest choice.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian moved at lightning speed around Dancing Sun City. The city was now in ruins. The originally bustling streets and buildings were all destroyed. It felt like the end was nigh. Blood stained the ground everywhere, flowing like rivers. Many people who were still fleeing were eventually killed by the huge demons, and there were also quite a few who were battling the huge demons.

There were members of the five major forces staying in the outer city of Dancing Sun City as well. However, they had all returned to the inner city when the battle started. These people included the law enforcement team of Dancing Sun City. It was easy for them to maintain order and peace in Dancing Sun City because most of the people they dealt with were weaker than them, and they also had the five major forces backing them. However, their opponents now were demons led by the powerful supreme demon from Chi Ming Mountain; they were simply no match for the demons. Moreover, they had also been summoned by their respective forces to return to the inner city to avoid unnecessary trouble.

As for the others in the outer city, the five major forces had already given up on them.

“Found you!”

It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to find the giant ape he defeated at the inn earlier.

At this moment, the giant was not alone. He was with another two demons. One was a bird-like demon with golden feathers while the other one resembled a bat with green and blood-red lines on his body, making him look sinister.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian teleported near the giant ape and the two huge demons.

At this time, the three demons were destroying a tall building and killing those who tried to flee. Many begged for mercy, but the trio turned a deaf ear to their pleas.

Corpses piled up into mountains while mournful cries rang in the air.

Suddenly…

“It’s you!”

The giant ape finally noticed Duan Ling Tian. His eyes widened, and his body trembled slightly as he stumbled a few steps back, looking frightened.

The other two huge demons heard the giant ape, and they gave up on chasing the people who tried to flee. Their eyes shifted to Duan Ling Tian in unison.

The giant ape looked at Duan Ling Tian fearfully and asked, “What do you want?”
