War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens - Chapter 3487

Chapter 3487: The Primeval Cliff

Not only were the young geniuses shocked that Duan Ling Tian had so easily overpowered someone as strong as a Four Star God of War, but the Heavenly Emperors of the various Devata Realms were shocked as well. They did not expect someone who was only a little over 600 years old was capable of such a feat.

Previously, when Su Li broke through in the middle of a battle, they had already been shocked. After all, there were very few cultivators who possessed the strength of a Four Star God of War at only a little more than 600 years old. Who knew Duan Ling would be even more heaven-defying? Duan Ling Tian was the same age as Su Li but possessed the strength of a Five Star God of War at least, based on how he had easily defeated Ouyang Xu who was as strong as a Four Star God of War. With this, Duan Ling Tian outshone Su Li.

Ding Fu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven, looked at Feng Qing Yang and said, “Brother Feng, your disciple is truly a gem.”

Although Feng Qing Yang only smiled modestly in response, the people in his surroundings could tell, based on the traces of joy hidden in the depths of his eyes, that he was not as unaffected as he seemed by Ding Fu’s praise.

…

“I don’t think anyone will challenge us now…” Tang San Pao said as he shook his head.

Among the four of them, even the weakest possessed strength comparable to a Four Star God of War. All of them would undoubtedly be part of the 100 participants to advance to the next round. As such, would there be anyone dumb enough to challenge them? Not only would the challengers not have a chance of winning, but they would risk getting injured as well. Even Ouyang Xu, who was as strong as a Four Star God of War, was injured during his match with Duan Ling Tian.

Even with the Prominent Grade Celestial Pills provided by the Title Temple, Ouyang Xu’s injuries would still take a few days to heal. Regardless, with his strength that was comparable to a Four Star God of War, he would definitely be able to advance to the next round once he had recovered and challenged another person. In fact, even if the Title Temple granted him a pass to advance to the next round, no one would object to it as well.

…

Two days later…

“How boring…” Tang San Pao grumbled impatiently.

Although a few participants had shown remarkable strength during the final bout of the fourth round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, the strongest among them only displayed strength comparable to a top Three Star God of War. After all, no one dared to challenge those who were as strong as or stronger than a Four Star God of War.

Nevertheless, those strong participants were not allowed to leave even if no one challenged them. Their presence was made mandatory by the Title Temple. Otherwise, what would happen if, on the off chance, someone decided to challenge them?

While waiting, Duan Ling Tian closed his eyes to cultivate by circulating the energy in his body. Needless to say, he did not use the Supreme Powerhouse’s Divinity in such a public place. Even if everyone knew his master, Feng Qing Yang, had attained godhood, it would not matter once people found out he possessed the Supreme Powerhouse’s Divinity.

…

Another few days passed in just a blink of an eye.

The final bout of the fourth round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses was already approaching the end at this time. Most of the challengers had also used up their ten chances.

Many of the participants, those who had secured a place to advance to the next round and those who had long been eliminated, could not wait for the fourth round to end. All of them were looking forward to the fifth round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.

However, there were also as many participants who enjoyed themselves such as Zhang Tian You, Wang Ting, and He Jian Yi. The trio was even weaker than those who were eliminated in the fourth round, therefore, they still had a lot to learn from all the matches in the fourth round.

…

The fourth round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses finally came to an end after a few days.

Xu Kong Hai, the Vice Temple Master of the main Title Temple, who presided over the event announced loudly, “The 100 participants who have successfully advanced to the next round will have a month to recuperate. We will gather here after a month for the fifth round of the Battle of the Geniuses…”

When Duan Ling Tian and the others were about to leave, Tang San Pao called out, stopping Duan Ling from leaving, “Duan Ling Tian.”

Ling Jue Yun and Su Li stayed back as well.

On the other hand, Zhang Tian You, Wang Ting, and He Jian Yi did not stay back. They knew what Tang San Pao had to say likely had nothing to do with them. After all, their strength was too different.

“What’s wrong?” Su Li asked.

Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun looked at Tang San Pao with puzzled expressions as well.

“Did you know there is a place called the Primeval Cliff in the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven?” Tang San Pao asked.

The trio shook their heads.

“A few days ago, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven has said that those who will be advancing to the fifth round are allowed to visit the Primeval Cliff,” Tang San Pao said with bright eyes, “What do you think? Do you want to explore the place together?”

“What’s the Primeval Cliff?” Su Li asked.

“Seriously? None of you have heard about the Primeval Cliff?” Tang San Pao stared at the trio in disbelief. Then, he explained, “The Primeval Cliff was left behind by the first Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven. Legend has it that he has become a supreme powerhouse. However, no one can verify this. The Primeval Cliff was where

Tang San Pao stared in disbelief. “The Primeval Cliff was left behind by the first Heavenly Emperor of Primeval Heaven… Legends say that he had become a Supreme Powerhouse later on. Certainly, it was just a legend since no one knew the truth because he had disappeared after that. Accordingly, the Primeval Cliff is where he stored the comprehension of various powerhouses’ laws after he devoured their souls. Although it isn’t as direct as the Title Temple’s chamber of laws, it’ll still be beneficial to us. It’s especially beneficial to those with a high aptitude for cultivation…”

“There’s such a place here?” Su Li’s interest was piqued after listening to Tang San Pao’s words.

Similarly, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun were interested as well.

“Where is the Primeval Cliff?” Su Li asked.

Tang San Pao chuckled before he said, “Follow me. I’ve already asked about the location. Moreover, I saw Yu Dong Fang, the third true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven, and Zhong Gui Yu heading in that direction as well…”

Tang San Pao led the trio to the other side of the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven. The place he led them to was a sparsely populated mountain range. At this time, only an elder and disciples of the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven on duty could be seen. There were one elder and ten disciples patrolling the area every shift.

After the elder and disciples stopped the young men and verified their identities, they were allowed to pass.

Following that, Tang San Pao led them to a tall but hidden peak among the clouds. The peak towered over the clouds, looking like a massive pillar piercing through the sky. The clouds swirling around the peak were in fact no ordinary clouds. They were clearly created by Formations.

There were a group of people patrolling this area as well.

“The security is quite tight here. In fact, all the other past Heavenly Emperors of the Primeval Heaven highly valued this place…” Tang San Pao said, “I didn’t expect the current Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven to be so generous as to allow us access to this place. However, I heard some people saying the Title Temple had compensated the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval in exchange for allowing us to come to this place. If that’s true, then we have to thank the Title Temple for this great opportunity!”

“The Title Temple?” Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows. He did not have many dealings with the Title Temple. However, based on his master’s words, he did not think the Title Temple would be so magnanimous or benevolent. After all, they organized the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses solely so they could recruit young geniuses to join them. He had even heard that sectless cultivators with powerful backgrounds were held captive by the Title Temple. The Title Temple would use some secret technique to plant a curse in the geniuses’ bodies, forcing the geniuses to work for them. In short, the Title Temple was not a benevolent force.

At this moment, the group of people patrolling the area stopped Duan Ling Tian and the others.

“Are you the participants who will be advancing to the fifth round of the Battle of the Geniuses?”

“Yes.” Tang San Pao nodded.

“Wang Ke, bring them to the people from the Title Temple.”

An elder from the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven ordered a disciple to lead Duan Ling Tian and the others to the other side of the peak.

When Duan Ling Tian and the others arrived, they saw many of the participants who had qualified for the fifth round had already arrived.

‘Ru Lai?’

It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian saw Ru Lai, the Temple Master of the Title Temple in the Pavilion Shaft Heaven, with the others from the Title Temple branches.

Ru Lai seemed to have sensed Duan Ling Tian’s gaze. He turned around, and when his gaze landed on Duan Ling Tian, a hint of greed flashed in the depths of his eyes.
