War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

'I won't be able to rely on Huang'er, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, and the Divine Tree of Life over the next period of time…' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

This was his first time using the Divine Tree of Life since he came to the Realm of Gods. It was one of his trump cards. Before the World Cleansing Divine Water, one of the Five Divine Elements, went to sleep, it had reminded him not to use the Divine Tree of Life unless it was absolutely necessary. It had also told him that the Divine Tree of Life would take a long time before it recovered after being used.

However, Duan Ling Tian knew he had no choice but to use the Divine Tree of Life earlier. He truly did not expect Liu Yin to have mastered the technique of the true detonation of his Little World. After all, under normal circumstances, only Emperors of Gods and Supreme Gods were capable of a true detonation; someone with Liu Yin's cultivation base was not capable of such a feat. Although he had heard of secret techniques that enabled those below the stage of an Emperor of Gods to initiate a true detonation, he did not expect to meet someone who actually mastered the secret technique. The force of the explosion was truly too terrifying; Liu Yin was just an intermediate Lord of Gods, but the force of the explosion was no weaker than the full strength of an extraordinary advanced Emperor of Gods.

'I wonder if Liu Yin had records of that secret technique,' Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly as he continued on his journey. At the same time, he claimed ownership of Liu Yin's spatial ring and looked at the things inside.

Duan Ling Tian destroyed all the Soul Pearls, which likely belonged to Liu Yin's friends and family, first before he looked at the things inside.

After a while, he complained, "There are no secret techniques or anything valuable in here. How can a White Dragon Elder be so poor?"

In fact, Liu Yin was not poor. He could be considered rich among the White Dragon Elders. However, in Duan Ling Tian's eyes, he was truly poor. After all, even Liu Yin had never obtained hundreds of thousands of contribution points at once unlike Duan Ling Tian, who obtained more than 100,000 contribution points a few times now.

As for the other items, Duan Ling Tian found them useless as well.

Duan Ling Tian sighed helplessly when he recalled the divine pills that he had consumed like snacks during his battle with Liu Yin. At that time, the divine pills had made Liu Yin fall into despair. He had paid such a high price, but he did not obtain anything of value at all. He did not even obtain war points since they were from the same sect.

…

After Liu Yin's death, his identity token disappeared since he was killed by a fellow sect member. Nonetheless, it would not rouse any suspicion since most people would only assume he had been killed by someone from the Tai Yi Sect.

Unless Duan Ling Tian admitted it himself, no one would suspect that Duan Ling Tian had killed Liu Yin. Even if others suspected him, they would not be able to find any evidence to pin the crime on him.

Moreover, with Duan Ling Tian's current strength and status, even if it was known that he killed Liu Yin, there was a high chance that the Flying Dragon Sect would turn a blind eye to his action.

…

While Duan Ling Tian continued to wander the Lord Battlefield, a group of guests arrived at the Flying Dragon Sect's estate.

Duan Ling Tian could be considered acquainted with one of them. He was none other than the old man called Qin Wu Yang, an elder from the Pure Yang Sect, who came to the Flying Dragon Sect with Yang Qian Ye previously to recruit Duan Ling Tian.

At this time, Qin Wu Yang was subserviently following behind a young man. The young man was handsome and upright. His gaze was so piercing that many people did not dare to meet his eyes. In contrast to his piercing gaze, he wore a bright smile on his face. The top half of his face made him look cold and fierce while the bottom half of his face made him look cheeky and friendly.

"Little Yang, you said you had a good impression of Duan Ling Tian during your last visit, right?" the handsome young man asked Qin Wu Yang.

At this moment, Yang Feng, the Golden Dragon Elder, was leading the young man and Qin Wu Yang to their accommodations that had been specially arranged by the Flying Dragon Sect. His lips could not help but twitch when he heard the young man address Qin Wu Yang as 'Little Yang'.

Qin Wu Yang did not seem dissatisfied at all, being addressed in such a way. Instead, he said respectfully, "Yes, junior granduncle."

'Junior granduncle?'

Yang Feng's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this title. Although he was not familiar with Qin Wu Yang, based on Qin Wu Yang's identity token at his waist, he knew that Qin Wu Yang was a Spirit Void Elder of the Pure Yang Sect.

The elders of the Pure Yang Sect were divided into seven classes: Ascension Elder, Nirvanic Elder, Transcendence Elder, Spirit Void Elder, Pristine Void Elder, Violet Void Elder, and Golden Void Elder. The weakest elders, which were Golden Void Elders, were at least rudimentary Lords of Gods. Needless to say, those below the stage of Lords of Gods were not qualified to become elders in the Pure Yang Sect.

The status of a Golden Void Elder in the Pure Yang Sect was like that of an outer deacon of the Flying Dragon Sect. However, Golden Void Elders' strength was like that of outer elders and inner deacons of the Flying Dragon Sect.

Violet Void Elders' status was like that of outer elders and inner deacons in the Flying Dragon Sect; Pristine Void Elders' status was like that of inner elders of the Flying Dragon Sect; Spirit Void Elders' status was like that of White Dragon Elders; Transcendence Elders' status was like that ofBlack Dragon Elders; Nirvanic Elders' status was like that of Golden Dragon Elders.

The elders with the highest status in the Pure Yang Sect were Ascension Elders, and there was no such equivalent in the current Flying Dragon Sect. Previously, elders with similar status to the Ascension Elders were the Ancestral Dragon Elders in the Flying Dragon Sect.

Without exception, the Ancestral Dragon Elders of the Flying Dragon Sect in the past were all Emperors of Gods.

Needless to say, the status of the elders in the Pure Yang Sect and the Flying Dragon Sect was just a comparison. Their strength was completely different.

Yang Feng knew that Qin Wu Yang had to be an advanced Lord of Gods at least since Qin Wu Yang was a Spirit Void Elder. This meant Qin Wu Yang was at least as strong as a Black Dragon Emperor.

'Strength-wise, I heard that Spirit Void Elders are comparable to the Black Dragon Elders of our sect. As for Transcendence Elders, their strength is like mine, a Golden Dragon Elder. As for Nirvanic Elders, they have to be Emperor of Gods. As for Ascension Elders, they have to be intermediate Emperors of Gods at least…'

Yang Feng could not help but feel terrified by this thought.

'I don't recognize the identity token at the young man's waist because I haven't seen it before today… I recognized all the identity tokens of those with or below the positions of Spirit Void Elders, and I've never seen the identity tokens of Transcendence Elders, Nirvanic Elders, and Ascension Elders. This means that the young man is likely a Transcendence Elder or a… Nirvanic Elder!'

Yang Feng could not help but inhale sharply when he thought about the Nirvanic Elders of the Pure Yang Sect. After all, Nirvanic Elders were all rudimentary Emperor of Gods at least.

'Is he an Emperor of Gods?'

After a while, Yang Feng mustered up his courage and turned to the young man before he asked with a smile, "Elder, you are?" Then, he quickly explained himself, "Don't take this wrongly. I'm ignorant and don't recognize your identity token. I'm only asking so I can make sure the Flying Dragon Sect treats you correctly…"

Faced with Yang Feng's question, the young man only smiled and said, "It's okay. I don't hold a very important position in the Pure Yang Sect. There's no need to make a fuss…"

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng sighed in relief, thinking that the other party must be a Transcendence Elder, which meant that the other party was an extraordinary advanced Lord of Gods like him. This meant that it was not a breach of etiquette for a Golden Dragon Elder like him to receive them.

Then, before Yang Feng could speak again, the young man continued to say, "I'm just a Nirvanic Elder."

Yang Feng's eyes widened immediately. His movement and expression froze as well.

'Nirvanic Elder? So he's an Emperor of Gods?!'

When Yang Feng abruptly came to a stop, Qin Wu Yang frowned slightly and asked, "Elder Yang Feng, what are you doing?"

Yang Feng returned to his senses and said hastily, "I apologize for losing my composure."

The young man reprimanded softly, "That's enough, Little Yang. Don't scare him."

"Yes, junior granduncle," Qin Wu Yang said respectfully.

"Elder, please follow me," Yang Feng said after he calmed down. At the same time, he sent a Voice Transmission to inform Long Qing Chong of this matter.

…

"A Nirvanic Elder of the Pure Yang Sect? An Emperor of Gods came to visit because of Duan Ling Tian?!" Long Qing Chong was shocked.

Recently, there were a few top emperor-forces who had visited because of Duan Ling Tian. However, the strongest among the people who came to the Flying Dragon Sect were only advanced Lords of Gods whose strength was comparable to the Golden Dragon Elders of the Flying Dragon Sect. It was only natural that Long Qing Chong was shocked when he found out that an Emperor of Gods from the Pure Yang Sect had come to the Flying Dragon Sect.

"I'll come over immediately!" Long Qing Chong replied to Yang Feng.

Without wasting any time, Long Qing Chong made his way to Yang Feng, preparing to welcome the Nirvanic Elder from the Pure Yang Sect. Previously, he would only visit the others from the top emperor-rank forces after they settled down. However, how could he treat an Emperor of Gods the same way?
