War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2406 Distancing Himself

Rong Bo and Feng Man had a deep understanding of the strength of an Eminent Celestial since they were both Eminent Celestials as well. If both of them joined forces, there was no doubt they would be able to defeat an Eminent Celestial. Naturally, there were exceptions to this. If their opponent mastered a Divine Ability from a Devata Realm or possessed a Celestial Supreme Treasure, let alone two of them, even if they had another two Eminent Celestials helping them, they still would not be a match for their opponent.

An Eminent Celestial with a Celestial Supreme Treasure had strength comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. If the Celestial Supreme Treasure was of a higher grade, the strength it granted could be even stronger than a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

For this reason, when Rong Bo and Feng Man realized the translucent sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand was a Celestial Supreme Treasure, they instantly discarded their thoughts of fighting and decided to run instead.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sounds of explosions rang in the air as Rong Bo and Feng Man utilized their Celestial Origin Energy that was mixed with Saint Origin to escape. Both of them moved really quickly, running in two different directions.

“Trying to run?” Duan Ling Tian sneered when he saw Rong Bo and Feng Man trying to escape. Then, the sword shot out of his hand immediately.

Xiu!

The short-lived sound of a sword cry rang in the air. The noise sounded like it heralded death to those people who heard it.

Duan Ling Tian took his time to cast the Sword Wielding Art, the third stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method Sovereign Heart Sword. Even without using the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Technique, his strength now was comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

As the sword flew out, it looked like a meteor shooting across the sky. Everything in the surroundings paled in the majesty of the sword.

“Noooo!” Rong Bo cried out in despair when he heard the brief sword cry. This was destined to be the last word that would come out of his mouth. In the next second, the sword pierced his skull from the back and emerged from his glabella. His soul was instantly destroyed, there was no chance for him to survive at all.

Xiu!

After killing Rong Bo, the Celestial Sword continued to chase after Feng Man at an extremely fast speed!

‘Run!’ This was the only thought left in Feng Man’s mind. He paled significantly when he heard Rong Bo’s cry. He knew in his heart that Rong Bo had died. He cursed Rong Bo inwardly, ‘Damnit! Damn you, Rong Bo! If you didn’t call me earlier, I wouldn’t be in this predicament! Who cares about the legacy from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial? If I knew there was someone like this in your ranks, I wouldn’t even want to have anything to do with that bullsh*t legacy!’

It seemed like Feng Man had decided to push all the blame to Rong Bo. He seemed to have forgotten that he had been eager to kill the others so that he and Rong Bo would be able to keep the legacy from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial or the clue leading to it for themselves.

“No!” Feng Man felt his hair standing on its end when the sword was at his back. Similar to Rong Bo, he let out a final desperate cry, “No!!!” Even if he was extremely unwilling, he could not escape death. In just a blink of an eye, he had followed in Rong Bo’s footsteps.

Two Eminent Celestials were dead! Duan Ling Tian had killed them so easily as though he was killing a chicken or cutting grass.

Xiu!

Zhang Yi, Wang Shi, and Liu Xia only regained their senses when the Celestial Sword flew back into Duan Ling Tian’s hand. Shock and disbelief could be seen in their eyes when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. None of them expected the purple-clad young man who seemed so easygoing possessed such terrifying strength! He killed two Eminent Celestials in just a blink of an eye.

One should remember that the only Eminent Celestials who were allowed to enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone were all younger than 100 years old. These people are considered as geniuses even in the big mundane realms. However, Duan Ling Tian had killed two of them in just a blink of an eye!

Zhang Yi was dumbfounded. ‘Rong Bo said that there are only seven Eminent Celestials below the age of 100 in the Skyline Realm. Duan Ling Tian killed two of them with just a strike!’ A complex emotion could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

‘Duan Ling Tian is so powerful?’ Liu Xia was shocked and extremely delighted when she saw how strong Duan Ling Tian was. She turned to him excitedly only to find that he was cold and distant toward her and Wang Shi.

Wang Shi, naturally, felt the change in Duan Ling Tian’s behavior as well. He could only smile bitterly as he thought to himself, ‘It seems like our hesitance has distanced us from him...’ He felt slightly regretful, but he knew there was no point in dwelling on this matter.

‘I can only hope that he’ll allow me and Liu Xia to enter the treasure vault with him...’ Wang Shi knew Duan Ling Tian would not kill him or Liu Xia. During their journey, he could see what kind of person Duan Ling Tian was. Duan Ling Tian would not attack them unless they gave him a reason to. However, he was not certain if Duan Ling Tian would still want to enter the treasure vault with them.

At this time, Liu Xia wore a guilty expression on her face as she said apologetically, “Duan Ling Tian, s-sorry...”

When Wang Shi saw this, he instantly apologized as well. “Brother Ling Tian, so sorry.” He hoped Duan Ling Tian would let bygones be bygones and explore the treasure vault with them.

“There’s no need to apologize. Both of you didn’t do anything wrong.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head with a faint smile on his face. “Don’t worry. I’ll still enter the treasure vault with both of you. After all, I wouldn’t be able to find this place without both of you. I’ll try and help you if it’s within my ability to do so.”

Wang Shi sighed in relief upon hearing that.

As a woman, Liu Xia was definitely more sensitive to emotional changes. She could clearly feel that Duan Ling Tian had distanced himself from them. It was only natural after all. He was already being very gracious for agreeing to explore the treasure vault together. It was impossible for them to hope that he would treat them like how he did before.

“Duan Ling Tian.” Zhang Yi looked at Duan Ling Tian in admiration when he saw how magnanimous Duan Ling Tian was. After a moment, his expression turned solemn as though he just remembered something. “I’m not sure about Feng Man, but Rong Bo was an outstanding disciple from a powerful sect in Skyline Realm. I’m afraid his sect members are already alerted to the fact that you killed him. In fact, the scene of his death might have already been transmitted back to them!” A hint of worry could be seen in Zhang Yi’s eyes when he spoke.

The Minor Major Mirror Image Talismans were not exclusive to the Saint Province Realm. Naturally, the other big mundane realms had it as well. They even had talismans that could fuse with the bearer so that others would not be able to detect it nor take it away.

“Don’t worry,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “They don’t know who I am anyway. So what if they know I’m the one who killed Rong Bo? Can they find me in this huge Beyond Heaven Secret Zone?”

“I’m just afraid that they’ll find out about you or your location from people who came from your mundane realm. They might even go to your realm to seek revenge. People can do unimaginable things for revenge,” Zhang Yi said with a wary expression on his face. After a moment, he added, “Moreover, I remember Rong Bo saying he was the nephew of the sect leader he was from.” The more he spoke, the darker his expression became.
