War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“My lords, I…” Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom and a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, found himself suffocated by the pressure exerted by the three Celestial Dukes. He was trying to find the words to voice out his reluctance and apprehension due to Duan Ling Tian’s mysterious and most likely, impressive background. He was prepared to tell the three Celestial Dukes that even Zhou Shu Qiu, the last direct disciple of the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Sect Leader and the junior sister of the current sect leader, did not dare to recklessly act against Duan Ling Tian. With this, he believed that even if the three Celestial Dukes did not back down, at the very least, they would not hold it against him for not handing Huan’er over to them.

At this moment, most of the people present on the scene looked into the distance and cried out in surprise, interrupting Long Dong Ping, “It’s His Highness, the Thirteenth Prince!”

Long Dong Ping halted his plan to speak and looked into the distance as well. He saw five people making their way over. A purple-clad young man, a golden-clad young man, a cyan-clad young man, and a white-clad woman walked in the lead.

With just a glance, the people from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom recognized the golden-clad young man as Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.

“That’s…”

In the next moment, they fell into a daze when they saw the white-clad woman. She was extremely dazzling. She was like a luminous pearl in the dark, brightening the world. She had slender eyebrows, limpid eyes, a stunning face, and a graceful and seductive figure. To top it off, she wore a thin white robe. With her cold aura, she seemed like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. She was truly flawlessly beautiful. It was as though the creator had paid special attention when she was created.

“It’s the woman in portrait!”

“Beautiful… Too beautiful! She’s even more beautiful in real life!”

“That’s only natural. How can a portrait compare to the real person? It’s truly unimaginable that such a beauty exists in this world. Being able to see her, I can say that I didn’t live in vain all these years.”

“I’ve seen her before. However, I didn’t see her face because she was wearing a hat and a veil at that time. Who would’ve thought such a beauty was hiding under the hat and veil?”

Huan’er attracted everyone’s attention as soon as she appeared. Since her appearance had already been exposed, there was no longer any point for her to wear a veil and a hat. Therefore, Duan Ling Tian did not make her wear the hat and the veil this time. She was delighted that she longer had to hide her appearance, as though she was unaware of the danger that was lurking outside. She had no sense of crisis at all. At this moment, she intimately hugged Duan Ling Tian’s arm. Duan Ling Tian who was dashing and handsome when paired with Huan’er made them look like a golden couple, a match made in heaven.

Duan Ling Tian could feel the knife-like gazes directed at him. If looks could kill, he would have died a thousand times over. The gazes from the three Celestial Duke were especially chilling. Their pressure bore down on him like three mountains.

‘The Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s elder, Huang Chao, the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect’s Guardian, Xue Lang, and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect’s elder, Teng Qing…’ Duan Ling Tian looked at the three Celestial Dukes. Despite their pointed gaze and intense pressure, his expression remained unchanged.

The other person who walked in the lead was none other than Qin Yun. Meanwhile, the fifth and last person of the group who was walking behind the four people was Qiu Ling.

At this moment, Qiu Ling, a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, could not help but feel frightened inwardly when confronted with the three Celestial Dukes. Let alone a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial like him, even a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial would not dare to act presumptuously in front of a Celestial Duke. Even a mere One Basic Celestial Duke was far superior to a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.

After looking away from Duan Ling Tian, Huang Chao, the elder of Tai Yi Celestial Sect, looked at the two Celestial Dukes and said with a nefarious gleam in his eyes, “Gentlemen….the beauty is here. Shall we discuss who she’ll leave with?”

At this moment, the three Celestial Dukes had completely disregarded Duan Ling Tian. They acted as though he did not exist. It was only natural after all. In their eyes, Duan Ling Tian was just a two-bit character. So what if he had a good relationship with the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom? It was useless. If they so pleased, they could kill the thirteenth prince without any consequences. This showed how powerful a Celestial Duke was.

“I agree with Elder Huang Chao.” Xue Lang, the Guardian of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, agreed with Huang Chao. He looked at the elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, Teng Qing, waiting for his reply.

Huang Chao, Xue Lang, and Teng Qing were Two Forms Celestial Dukes. They all knew each other’s cultivation base. They were aware it was pointless to fight since it would only end in a draw. It was useless to fight. It would be more efficient for them to discuss the matter.

Huang Chao and Xue Lang looked at Teng Qing expectantly, fully confident Teng Qing was going to agree, when Teng Qing bluntly refused them. “I’m not willing!” Then, he continued to say, “I know what both of you are thinking. You want to share the beauty. However, I, Teng Qing, will never share the woman I’ve taken a liking to. She can only belong to me and me alone!” He looked at Huang Chao and Xue Lang before he looked at Huan’er possessively as though he had already thought of her as his property.

“Teng Qing!”

“Are you going to ignore the both of us?”

Huang Chao and Xue Lang’s expression turned unsightly as they glowered at Teng Qing.

“We are all Two Forms Celestial Dukes. Even if you’re slightly stronger, do you think you can defend against both of us at the same time?” Huang Chao and Xue Lang looked at Teng Qing as though Teng Qing was a fool.

“Two Forms Celestial Dukes?” Teng Qing’s smile widened. Then, he said coldly, “You’re welcome to try!”

Although Teng Qing’s smile caused Huang Chao and Xue Lang to feel like something was amiss, they did hesitate as they charged toward Teng Qing at the same time. They were wary due to Teng Qing’s confidence, but they did not plan to let it deter them.

Upon seeing this, Teng Qing scoffed, completely unbothered. In just a blink of an eye, his Celestial Origin Energy surged out from his body like a furious dragon.

Upon closer inspection, one would see Huang Chao and Xue Lang’s Celestial Origin Energy had two strands of spirit serpents in them. On the other hand, there were three strands of spirit serpents in Teng Qing’s Celestial Origin Energy.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion reverberated in the air as Teng Qing collided with Huang Chao and Xue Lang. The shockwaves from the collision rippled out and destroyed the front yard. A huge pit could be seen in the front yard where the three Celestial Dukes hovered above. Then, cracks began to form and spread out at lightning speed.

…

The disturbance in the front yard spilled outside, attracting many people’s attention.

“What’s happening?”

“What’s that commotion? Isn’t that the residence of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom that’s arranged by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“What’s happening inside?”

“Don’t tell me it has something to do with the woman in the portraits?”

“That’s highly likely. Even then, this commotion is quite big. It’s unlikely to be caused by peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, right ?”

People in the vicinity of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence were shocked and confused. It seemed like a violent storm had hit the residence, wrecking it beyond recognition.
