War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 3339 - An Unexpected Newcomer

Chapter 3339: An Unexpected Newcomer

Unbeknownst to the rest of the t.i.tled Celestial Emperors of the Heavenly Pool Palace who were in the midsts of their respective battles, Yang Xiao Tian, the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor, was communicating with Duan Ling Tian via Voice Transmission about a novel in the mundane realm, Journey to the West.

“So, the elements in Journey to the West originated from the secret codes you left behind?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Yes.” Yang Xiao Tian slightly nodded before he helplessly said, “However, I didn’t expect Sun Xing’s friend would glorify that monkey to such an extent. Nevertheless, that monkey’s capabilities recorded in Journey to the West were quite justified. He was a lord who could break through the heavens.” A hint of reverence could be seen in his eyes near the end of his words.

‘The author of Journey to the West, Wu Cheng En, was from the Ming Dynasty. Similar to Senior Brother Sun Xing, he was born in 1,500 A.D. The timeline and person matched. It seems like Journey to the West is indeed closely related to Yang Xiao Tian,’ Duan Ling Tian mused inwardly.

“Duan Ling Tian, the trouble you caused today is too big… Otherwise, I would have helped you because we came from the same place,” Yang Xiao Tian said with a sigh.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned by Yang Xiao Tian’s words. He never expected Yang Xiao Tian, who looked aloof, to be rather kind.

“I won’t attack you… Flee if you have a chance,” Yang Xiao Tian added.

As soon as his voice fell, Yang Xiao Tian attacked Teng Xiong Ba, the Swirling Cloud Celestial Emperor, again. Raging flames rained down on the fl.u.s.tered Teng Xiong Ba as he hastily defended himself.

At this moment, Meng Chuan’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears.

“You Feng Yu… I, Meng Chuan, would like to see what you’re made of!” As soon as Meng Chuan finished speaking, blue energy surged out of his body and formed a giant sword that fell on You Feng Yu.

“The Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, Meng Luo, has a very good reputation. As his younger brother, I hope you won’t disappoint me,” You Feng Yu replied airily. He flashed and moved toward Meng Chuan like a flurry of green tornado.

In just a blink of an eye, You Feng Yu and Meng Chuan collided and battled fiercely. However, as time pa.s.sed, Meng Chuan was pushed into a disadvantageous position. He was clearly weaker than You Feng Yu. Nevertheless, the tenacious law of water that he comprehended was enough to hold You Feng Yu back since You Feng Yu had to hold back from killing him.

‘Meng Chuan, it seems like you’re just buying time for them.’ Realization dawned on You Feng Yu at this moment as his expression darkened. A hint of helplessness flashed in the depths of his eyes. Even if he knew Meng Chuan’s real intention, there was nothing he could do since he could not kill Meng Chuan. The consequences of killing Meng Chuan would be devastating. Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, was known to be protective of his younger brother and would definitely wreak havoc in the Heavenly Pool Palace if he killed Meng Chuan.

In the past, before Meng Chuan became a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor, he was almost killed by a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor from a heaven-grade force. Meng Luo was so furious that he stormed that heaven-grade force alone, killed the t.i.tled Celestial Emperor who nearly killed Meng Chuan, and severely injured many of that heaven-grade force’s t.i.tled Celestial Emperors. After that, his reputation spread like a wildfire. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, You Feng Yu did not want to kill Meng Chuan. He was not willing to provoke Meng Luo. Although he had the support of the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven who was his maternal grandfather, he did not want to create unnecessary conflict. After all, if his grandfather intervened, would the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven sit back and do nothing? Of course, not. Before the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive entered and escaped from the Asura h.e.l.l, his grandfather was already not a match for the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Now that the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven had been tempered by his time in the Asura h.e.l.l, there was no doubt that he had grown even stronger. According to his grandfather, there was a possibility that the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven had already attained G.o.dhood.

and killed that t.i.tled Celestial Emperor who nearly killed Meng Chuan. After that battle, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor’s reputation spread like wildfire. Therefore, You Feng Yu was unwilling to provoke Meng Luo if not necessary. Although he was no match for Meng Luo, You Feng Yu did not fear him. After all, he had the support of the Heavenly Emperor of Boundless Heaven; his maternal grandfather.

“Duan Ling Tian, leave now.” Meng Chuan’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, urging him to run.

Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly as he glanced at Pei Yuan Ji and the other t.i.tled Celestial Emperors. He was not too concerned about the other t.i.tled Celestial Emperors, but he was rather reluctant to leave Pei Yuan Ji behind. After all, not only were they acquainted, but Pei Yuan Ji was related to Huan’er’s grandaunt, Du Fei.

‘If things went according to plan, and teacher and the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor were lured away, it would’ve been easy for all of us to escape. As it is, we’re stuck in a stalemate.’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened as he looked at the situation that had escalated beyond his control.

“Duan Ling Tian, bring Lian Qiu with you and leave!” Pei Yuan Ji’s voice promptly rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. “Even if both of you leave, they won’t be able to do anything to us. At most, they’d imprison us again. As for Meng Chuan, You Feng Yu doesn’t dare to harm him at all. I’ll feel more at ease if you leave. When you grow stronger in the future, you can come back for us! I have faith in you.”

Pei Yuan Ji wanted Duan Ling Tian and Lian Qiu to leave so that all their effort would not be in vain. It did not matter if he were imprisoned again.

Duan Ling Tian hesitated when he heard Pei Yuan Ji’s words. At the same time, different voices began to ring in his ears.

“Duan Ling Tian, listen to Old Pei and leave!”

“Boy, flee!”

“We’ll wait for you to rescue us!”

These voices that persuaded him to leave came from the other five t.i.tled Celestial Emperors who escaped from the Thousand Chains Prison: the Golden Flower Celestial Emperor, the White Deer Celestial Emperor, the Swirling Cloud Celestial Emperor, the Thunder Hurricane Celestial Emperor, and the Profound Ice Celestial Emperor.

Duan Ling Tian knew Pei Yuan Ji must have spoken to them and asked them to persuade him to leave. He took a deep breath before he finally said, “Senior Lian Qiu, let’s go.”

This was the only choice Duan Ling Tian was left with. If he did not leave with Huan’er’s parents, the three of them would surely die while the other six t.i.tled Celestial Emperors would be imprisoned again. He had planned to use the power of the Five Divine Elements, but it seemed unnecessary now. Even the World Cleansing Divine thought it was unnecessary.

“What about them?” Lian Qiu asked, reluctant to leave. He was unaware that Duan Ling Tian and the others had communicated through Voice Transmission, after all.

“Senior Meng Chuan will be fine, You Feng Yu won’t dare to harm him. As for Brother Pei and the others, the worst-case scenario is that they’ll be imprisoned again. However, I’ll definitely save them in the future. If both of us stay here, we’ll surely die. Moreover, with both of us here, Brother Pei won’t be able to fight with all his strength,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Lian Qiu nodded. He knew Duan Ling Tian was right. “Let’s go!”

Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian and Lian Qiu trying to escape, You Feng Yu cried out, “Xiao Tian, kill them!”

Yang Xiao Tian sighed inwardly. He stopped attacking Teng Xiong Ba and turned into a ball of flames and shot across the sky toward Duan Ling Tian and Lian Qiu like a flaming meteorite.

Boom!

Yang Xiao Tian was halfway across the sky when he smashed into a barrier that was suddenly erected in front of him. The barrier shook slightly as he bounced back. He looked sheepish for a moment before he moved toward Pei Yuan Ji who stopped him from giving chase.

Pei Yuan Ji’s expression turned grim. The pressure on him mounted since he was now fighting alone against three t.i.tled Celestial Emperors. He shouted, “Go!”

Duan Ling Tian and Lian Qiu no longer lingered and quickly fled. Alas, before they could get very far, a figure appeared, blocking their path.

Duan Ling Tian stepped back as he sized up the figure that emitted a dangerous aura. The person had a medium build and wore a bamboo hat and a long grey robe. The aura the person emitted was heavy and gloomy, not unlike the aura in the Life or Death Platform.

Lian Qiu stepped back as well with a grim expression on his face.

“So, you must be my Little Junior Brother…” A cold and indifferent but soft voice rang in the air. The person moved, revealing a white and slender hand when removing the bamboo hat.

Soon enough, an aloof peerless beauty with bright and clear eyes appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian.
