War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3355: The Myriad Phenomena Formation

Swoosh!

The middle-aged man attacked with all his strength. A flaming net, which contained the force of all the profundities from the law of fire that had been comprehended to the mastery stage, fell on Duan Ling Tian.

However, a piercing sword cry rang in the air as the sword ray from the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword cut through the flaming net as though it was made from paper. The seven-color sword ray devoured the flames like a ravenous beast. With just one strike, Duan Ling Tian destroyed the flaming net.

As the middle-aged man watched in horror as Duan Ling Tian easily destroyed his attack, his fifth-form Chaos Divine Flames’s terrified voice rang in his ears. “Heavens! Not only does he have the sixth-form, but he has the sixth-form Profound Divine Metal, Clear Heavens Divine Wood, World Cleansing Divine Water, and Chaos Divine Earth as well! How’s this possible? What kind of monster is he? How can he have all Five Divine Elements? Moreover, all of them are in their sixth forms! I’m done for!”

“No!!!” the middle-aged cried out, seemingly regaining his senses when the seven-color sword ray was just inches away from him. He mobilized his energy immediately in an attempt to block the seven-color sword ray. At the same time, he shouted at the fifth-form Chaos Divine Flame anxiously, asking for help.

Alas, the middle-aged man’s call for help went unanswered. After all, the fifth-form Chaos Divine Flame could not even protect itself at this moment; how could it have time to help the middle-aged man?

Duan Ling Tian’s attack contained the forces from the Divine Elements except for the Chaos Divine Flame. This was because the Chaos Divine Flame had shot out of his body and entered the middle-aged man’s body to devour the middle-aged man’s fifth-form Chaos Divine Flames. It did not need help from the other Divine Elements to devour a fifth-form Chaos Divine Flame.

Boom!

The seven-color sword ray quickly killed the middle-aged man.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s Chaos Divine Flame shot out of the middle-aged man’s body and returned to Duan Ling Tian’s Little World. Needless to say, it had successfully devoured the fifth-form Chaos Divine Flame.

At this time, Little Gold’s voice suddenly rang in the air. “Wow! Brother Ling Tian, you’ve just entered the top 700 and became a lieutenant! It seems like that middle-aged man was a lieutenant…”

In the Purgatory Battlefield, those who ranked in the top 1,100 would be given military titles. Those who were ranked in the top 100 would be given the title of Commander while those who ranked from 101st to 1,100th would be given the title of Lieutenant.

Since Duan Ling Tian killed the middle-aged man, he naturally obtained the middle-aged man’s military merit points and shot into the top 700. Duan Ling Tian’s pseudonym, Xia Fei Wu, rose in ranks swiftly like a dark house before everyone’s eyes. However, no one really paid attention to the name Xia Fei Wu since there were many talented people in the Purgatory Battlefield as well. Moreover, he only entered the top 700. Perhaps, once he rose higher in ranks, he would gain more attention. Compared to the small number of Commanders, there were many Lieutenants after all.

Little Gold thought to herself, ‘It’s unfortunate that this man ran into Brother Ling Tian. With his strength, if he didn’t die, it’s likely that he’ll be able to become a Commander…’

Since Little Gold had witnessed the middle-aged man’s strength earlier, she knew that he would have continued to rise in ranks if Duan Ling Tian did not kill him.

After a moment, Little Gold said with a smile, “Big Brother Ling Tian, you have 800 military merit points now. You can exchange them for a chance to enter a secret zone… Even if you spend your points, it won’t affect your ranking…”

With Little Gold’s reminder, Duan Ling Tian focussed his thoughts. It did not take long before a few options to enter the secret zones appeared in his mind. These options were similar to options in games that he played during his time on earth. No wonder this place was rumored to be part of a game between supreme powerhouses.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian discovered that it cost very little points to enter a secret zone with other people. The more people he entered the secret zone with, the fewer military merit points it would cost. Needless to say, the fewer people, the more it would cost.

“500 military merit points? It costs so many points to enter the secret zone alone?” Duan Ling Tian could not help but exclaim.

“If I choose to enter alone, I’ll be able to bring people with me as long as I’m willing…” Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief when he saw this note under the option to enter the secret zone alone. Naturally, under normal circumstances, he would have preferred to enter alone. However, Huan’er and Little Gold were with him at this moment.

After a brief moment, Duan Ling Tian said, “Huan’er, Little Gold, I’m going to exchange my military merit points for a chance to enter a secret zone now. We’ll enter the secret zone together…”

With just a thought, Duan Ling Tian exchanged his military merit points to enter the secret zone alone. In just a blink of an eye, 500 military merit points were deducted. However, the total number of points he had obtained thus far was still displayed next to his current remaining points.

Following that, a guiding force appeared and began to pull him in a specific direction.

“It’s there,” Duan Ling Tian said before he led Huan’er and Little Gold away. In just a blink of an eye, they left the Purgatory of Myriad Changes.

…

Duan Ling Tian finally came to a halt after a day and a night in a seemingly endless desert. To be precise, they were now at the ruins in the desert. The buildings in the ruins were dilapidated; the years had left their marks on them.

“We’re here.”

“Big Brother, is the secret zone in the ruins?” Little Gold asked.

“No.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “It’s on the other side of the ruins. We’ll need to pass through the ruins to get to it.”

Huan’er and Little Gold followed Duan Ling Tian’s lead and descended from the sky.

The trio entered the ruins through a path. With just a glance, one could see the path was forcefully made. After traveling for a while, the path suddenly came to an end. Perhaps, the powerhouse who created the path found nothing of value in this place and decided to leave. In any case, this meant the trio was now faced with a dead end.

Little Gold asked, “Brother Ling Tian, what should we do now?”

Following that, Huan’er who was usually silent said, “Brother Ling Tian, I can sense the aura of an Illusory Formation from where the path ends…”

After Duan Ling Tian finishes speaking, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s hand. He brought the sword down cleanly, forging a path into the Illusory Formation.

As soon as the trio entered the Formation, Huan’er said helplessly, “Brother Ling Tian, this Formation is too strong. My current strength isn’t enough to break the Formation at all. In fact, even if I were a Celestial Emperor now and further mastered my inherited techniques, I still might not be able to break this Formation…”

“This isn’t surprising,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “The Purgatory Battlefield is a playground created by supreme powerhouses after all. How can the Formation they created to separate the secret zone from the battlefield be easy to break?”

Duan Ling Tian followed the instructions he had received earlier and easily broke the Formation before he continued to lead Huan’er and Little Gold inside.

Soon enough, a palace appeared in the distance in front of the trio. On both sides of the path that led to the palace entrance were numerous statues of boys, girls, young men, young women, old men, and old women. There were also statues of Celestial Beasts of all shapes and sizes that resembled dragons, tigers, and leopards, just to name a few.

“We’re here,” Duan Ling Tian said, “The secret zone is in the palace. No, this entire place is the secret zone…”

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian had a feeling the statues that lined the sides of the path were tests he had to overcome before entering the palace. Perhaps, this was the first test in the secret zone.

“Follow me,” Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes glinted. In just a moment, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword spun around his body. At the same, he called out, “Sister Water, can you see if there’s something strange with the statues?”

The World Cleansing Divine Water promptly replied, “It’s the Myriad Phenomena Formation!”

“The Myriad Phenomena Formation?” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.

“This Formation can’t be completely broken. It’s a kind of Illusory Formation that has both defensive and offensive strength. You’ll have to overcome many challenges to pass through this Formation…”
