War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2259 Heavenly Tribulation? 

All of a sudden…

Swoosh!

A deafening swoosh sounded in the air when the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, suddenly released a gentle force that did not harm Duan Ling Tian before it flew out of his hand and hovered in the air. At the same time, the Devil Qi it emitted became even more mysterious and domineering!

What’s this?’ Even Duan Ling Tian was shocked by this. He did not expect this at all.

It did not take long before the Devilseal Tablet flew up into the sky. Its Devil Qi became oppressive as it connected with heaven and earth. From afar, it looked like a divine pillar burning with black flames.

Thunder and lightning lit up and rang in the sky accompanied by the sound of wind howling.

All of a sudden, the pillar of Devil Qi increased sharply before they disappeared into the tablet. It resulted in a shockwave before Devil Qi suddenly surged out again, this time in every direction.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions were like a torrential storm that seemed capable of sweeping away everything on heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, the three Great Guardian Warriors who were still shrouded in their powerful light shield could clearly feel the aura from the tablet. They felt their souls shaking when they felt the aura seemed to have locked on them. It seemed inescapable!

“This…is this…”

“Is this…devil… The Devilseal Tablet?!”

At this point, regardless of how low the three Great Guardian Warriors’ IQs were, they would be able to guess what that tablet that caused them to feel so afraid was.

It was the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, that was able to suppress the Devil Clans!

They felt distressed when they felt the Devil Qi from the Devilseal Tablet grow stronger.

Boom!

It left ruins in its wake as the tablet flew out!

When the Great Guardian Warriors regained their senses, the Devilseal Tablet had already collided violently with their defensive light shield. Their light shield was so strong that it could withstand the attacks from ordinary cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage Ninth Form for a short time. In fact, the attack Duan Ling Tian had unleashed with all his might barely left a dent on it.

However, at this moment…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cacophonous explosions rang in the air. It seemed like it would never end.

When the dust settled. One could see the three Great Guardian Warriors’ light shield had become completely useless after the attack from the Devilseal Tablet!

“I-impossible!”

The eyes of all three Great Guardian Warriors widened in shock when they saw how easily the Devilseal Tablet had destroyed their defensive light shield. At this moment, they were afraid.

Escape!!!’ Three of them shared the same thought. They could not afford to think of anything else at this critical moment. They had no time to think why a Human-Devil possessed the Devilseal Tablet or why a Human-Devil was able to use the Devilseal Tablet when it was supposed to be harmful to all Devils and Devil Cultivators.

“Want to escape?” Duan Ling Tian smirked when he saw three Devils moving to escape in three different directions.

However, with the Devilseal Tablet around, how could the three Devils at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage escape?

The result was within Duan Ling Tian’s expectation.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderous explosions reverberated in the air again as the Devilseal Tablet destroyed the three Great Guardian Warriors with a formidable force before they could even react. Soon after, the Devil Qi returned to the tablet. The Devilseal Tablet once again resumed its appearance as a simple and harmless tablet.

Meanwhile, the three Great Guardian Warriors stared ahead with lifeless eyes as though they had lost their souls… which they did.

No one knew if their souls had been trapped in the Devilseal Tablet or if it had been destroyed by the Devilseal Tablet. Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian flew to the Devils’ corpses and collected their Spatial Rings before he began to devour their Innate Spiritual Roots.

Although Innate Spiritual Roots were connected to the souls, the three Great Guardian Warriors’ Innate Spiritual Roots were not affected since the Devilseal Tablet only targeted their souls.

“They have ordinary indigo Innate Spiritual Roots…” It was just as Duan Ling Tian had predicted. The three Great Guardian Warriors possessed ordinary indigo Innate Spiritual Roots.

Their Innate Spiritual Roots should be enough for me to improve my Innate Spiritual Root to the next level…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself excitedly. After a while, he began to calm down and continued to devour the three Great Guardian Warriors’ Innate Spiritual Roots. He did not encounter any difficulties when devouring their Innate Spiritual Roots since he had done this so many times before.

“It won’t be long now…!” Duan Ling Tian’s heart thumped excitedly in his chest when the three Innate Spiritual Roots fused with his Innate Spiritual Root. His Innate Spiritual Root was almost at its limit after all. Therefore, after he had devoured the three Innate Spiritual Roots, it instantly transformed his Innate Spiritual Root!

“Black Innate Spiritual Root!” Duan Ling Tian discovered that he had successfully improved his Innate Spiritual Root to a black one. He was delighted! He could not help but laugh heartily when he saw his black Innate Spiritual Root.

“I wonder how much faster has my cultivation speed gotten now that I have a black Innate Spiritual Root…” Duan Ling Tian was about to absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy when…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunders began to rumble above Duan Ling Tian.

“What’s happening?” Duan Ling Tian instantly abandoned thoughts of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy when he heard the thunderclaps that were similar to the Tribulation Oath from the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian saw dark clouds were converging above him. Moreover, bolts of violet lightning flashed intermittently among the clouds. They looked terrifying!

“Is this… the Heavenly Tribulation?” This scene reminded Duan Ling Tian of the Heavenly Tribulation he experienced back on the Mortal Continent. The Heavenly Tribulation he experienced was known as the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. One would experience it when one had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul during a Void breakthrough.

Once in Void Initiation, one could control air and fly. As this was against the Will of Heaven, Heaven would send the Heavenly Tribulation as a form of punishment.

“In the mundane realm, the Heavenly Tribulations are divided into three types: first, the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation which one would face upon entering the Void Stage at the peak of the Nascent Soul. The second one is the Tribulation Oath from the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation which one would have to face if one had broken an oath. As for the third…it’s the Celestial Ascension Tribulation experienced by cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself.

Could this Heavenly Tribulation occur because of my breakthrough to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Heaven-Defying Form? After all, I have achieved immortality. This can be considered as going against Heaven’s Will after all!’ Duan Ling Tian dismissed this thought as soon as it appeared. ‘Impossible! I haven’t heard of anyone facing Heavenly Tribulations after breaking through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, if this is not it, then, what could it be?’

Duan Ling Tian was baffled.
