War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 4699 Enemies in Despair

….
Since Yu Luo He, the owner of the Life Creation Chart, was indirectly saved by Chen Ming Hao from the Myriad Mountains’ Chen clan, Duan Ling Tian had chased after Yu Luo He several times, following the energy that the chart emitted.

However, Chen Ming Hao would intervene at every critical moment, seizing the Dao Merging energy of the Limitless Sword Dao, greatly reducing Duan Ling Tian’s strength and allowing Yu Luo He to escape every time.

In the most recent encounter, Yu Luo He’s injuries had further healed. Instead of fleeing, he stayed and fought Duan Ling Tian, ultimately ending in a draw. After confirming he could not defeat Duan Ling Tian, he laughed then escaped!

“Duan Ling Tian, you better not provoke me again… Otherwise, next time when my injuries recover further, you’ll definitely be defeated when Chen Ming Hao intervenes again!”

Yu Luo He was exceptionally arrogant this time, as if he could not wait for Duan Ling Tian to come looking for him again.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression was unsightly because Yu Luo He was right. Their recent encounters had made him realize that Yu Luo He’s injuries were constantly recovering. Yu Luo He had even recovered to the point where he could fight him on par, with Chen Ming Hao seizing the Dao Merging energy.

If Yu Luo He’s injuries healed again, Duan Ling Tian knew he would be at a disadvantage with Chen Ming Hao’s intervention. Although he was frustrated and resentful, there was nothing he could do about it.

“Chen Ming Hao…”

After spending nearly 100 years in the Divine Land, Duan Ling Tian felt genuine hatred toward a person for the first time. Murderous intent filled the depth of his eyes as he muttered, “One day, I’ll definitely settle the score with you!”

Duan Ling Tian flashed and disappeared from the spot.

…

Meanwhile, at the Chen clan in the Myriad Mountains, Chen Ming Hao stopped using the Limitless Sword Dao as soon as he sensed Duan Ling Tian had stopped using it. He smiled wickedly as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, as long as I’m alive, you won’t be able to use the Limitless Sword Dao freely!”

At this time, an old man suddenly appeared. He looked at Chen Ming Hao and shook his head as he said, “This doesn’t address the root of the problem. Not only that, but you’re also endangering yourself… You can make things difficult for Duan Ling Tian now, but he can also do so in the future…”

The old man was none other than Chen Jiu Xiao, the Chen clan’s Triple Dao Merging powerhouse.

“Grandfather, there’s no need for you to advise me on this matter,” Chen Ming Hao said as he shook his head, “If I don’t do this, I won’t be able to clear my mind, and it’ll affect my comprehension of the third Dao to the ninth stage, let alone merge it. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian came from the world within the Life Creation Chart; he has no support in the Divine Land and can only rely on himself. On the contrary, I have you, Grandfather! Who dares to bully me?”

Seeing how arrogant Chen Ming Hao was, Chen Jiu Xao only remained silent.

…

When the news of Duan Ling Tian breaking into the Dao Merging realm finally spread to all corners of the Divine Land, his enemies from the world within the Life Creation Chart also heard about it.

“Duan Ling Tian actually broke into the Dao Merging realm?”

Lei Hong was still within the territory of the Surging River Divine Kingdom; he was in seclusion, unaware of the affairs of the outside world. He had only emerged today and found out that Duan Ling Tian had become a Dao Merging powerhouse.

His expression darkened instantly. Although he was not Duan Ling Tian’s match during their time in the world within the Life Creation Chart and had even been nearly killed, he was not afraid of Duan Ling Tian. Not only that, but he was also determined to seek revenge on Duan Ling Tian!

This was also the reason why he wanted to make a move at Duan Residence when Duan Ling Tian was away. Duan Ling Tian’s absence was the only way he could seek revenge.

He knew about Duan Ling Tian’s heaven-defying talent, but he was not discouraged, seeking to narrow the gap between them and hoping to surpass Duan Ling Tian one day in the future. After all, the Divine Land was vast, filled with opportunities beyond imagination. Perhaps, one day, he would be lucky enough to catch up to Duan Ling Tian or even surpass him.

Alas, before that day could come, he received this news, which filled him with despair. He finally felt it was impossible to catch up to Duan Ling Tian in this lifetime, let alone surpass him.

Dejected, Lei Hong found a tavern and kept pouring himself drinks to get drunk. He drank continuously for several days and nights like a madman before stopping.

When he finally sobered up, he reminded himself not to take action against the people around Duan Ling Tian unless he was absolutely confident. After all, Duan Ling Tian was in a different league now; who knew if Duan Ling Tian had some new tricks up his sleeve? He was still determined to seek revenge, but he was going to be more cautious about it.

…

Lei Hong was not the only one who felt depressed upon learning about Duan Ling Tian’s breakthrough.

In a place far away from the Surging River Divine Kingdom, Yun Xin Feng, previously known as Yun Qing Yan, was in a foul mood upon receiving the news.

He had been fortunate since coming to the Divine Land. After several fortuitous encounters, he was now a level-four Dao Establishment powerhouse. He thought that he had narrowed the gap between him and Duan Ling Tian and that he might have a chance to kill Duan Ling Tian again…

After all, when he was still in the Outer Boundary, he did not even dare to dream about killing Duan Ling Tian due to the great disparity in their strengths. Moreover, there was also the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation that stood in his way. Even if one managed to become a level-six supreme powerhouse, it would be difficult to become a level-seven supreme powerhouse.

However, after coming to the Divine Land, he felt like a fish in water, feeling that this place was a blessing in disguise. He had fantasized more than once about confronting Duan Ling Tian and trampling on Duan Ling Tian again. He had relived the time when he trampled on Duan Ling Tian back in the mundane realm countless times. Once he was strong enough, he would kill Duan Ling Tian decisively to prevent future trouble, learning from his mistake. Even now, he still regretted listening to Xia Ning Xue and sparing Duan Ling Tian’s life back then.

Hence, upon learning of Duan Ling Tian’s breakthrough, Yun Xin Feng sat on the ground in despair. The confidence he had painstakingly built up collapsed completely.

Duan Ling Tian had broken into the Dao Merging realm, becoming one of the strongest powerhouses in the Divine Land! Even if he became a Dao Merging powerhouse in the future, it would still be difficult to kill Duan Ling Tian. Most importantly, he was not confident he could even break into the Dao Merging realm, considering how difficult it was to do so.
