War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens - Chapter 4509: The Terrifying Master-And-Disciple Duo

Duan Ling Tian gained a better understanding of Xiao Mu Bai, one of the Lords of the God Defying World, thanks to Xia Jie.

'As it turns out, he's so terrifying… Apart from his father, the mysterious World supreme powerhouse, he's probably the strongest person in the God Defying World…'

Apart from that, Xia Jie also told Duan Ling Tian another thing he heard from Xia He Chuan, the ancestor of the Xia clan. According to Xia He Chuan, all the other Lords of the God Defying World, except for Xiao Mu Bai, were in closed-door cultivation to improve their strength. All of them were beginning to struggle when faced with their once-in-ten-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation. If they did not grow stronger, it would only be a matter of time before they were killed by the Heavenly Tribulation.

…

When Duan Ling Tian learned about Xiao Mu Bai's shocking strength and background, Xiao Mu Bai had already returned to his cultivation ground. When he saw his subordinate, a middle-aged man, a rare smile appeared on his face as he asked, "Do you know who I met when I left earlier?"

"Who did you meet, my lord?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.

If Duan Ling Tian were present, he would have recognized the middle-aged man immediately. The latter was the person who brought him away from the Realm Battlefield to the divine fountain. He was also the person whom Duan Ling Tian overheard addressing Xiao Mu Bai as 'my lord'.

Xiao Mu Bai walked into the pavilion and took a seat in front of the stone table. He brewed himself a cup of tea and drank it before he said, "Duan Ling Tian?"

"Duan Ling Tian?!" the middle-aged man exclaimed as his eyes widened in shock, "The one that obtained the liquid from the divine fountain? He came back?!"

After the shock subsided, a frown appeared on the middle-aged man's face as he said worriedly, "Isn't he being too rash? I thought he had thought things through before he left. Why did he come back? Does he think he's able to defend against those old geezers who covet the liquid from the divine fountain in his possession?"

Although the middle-aged man did not spend much time with Duan Ling Tian, he admired Duan Ling Tian's talent. He hoped that Duan Ling Tian would grow stronger, and he naturally did not wish for anything to happen to Duan Ling Tian because of some greedy people.

"That's right. He's back," Xiao Mu Bai said with a nod. Then, an indecipherable expression appeared on his face as he continued to say, "As for your worries regarding those old geezers… they're unfounded… If those people dare to attack him, no one can save them unless I or the other Lords in closed-door cultivation make a move…"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing these words. He asked, "My lord, you… What do you mean? He… Don't tell me he's now a supreme powerhouse?!"

A skeptical expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face nearing the end of his words. He naturally did not think that someone so young could become a supreme powerhouse in such a short time.

Xiao Mu Bai shook his head. "Of course not. Didn't you hear that a distinguished guest came to our God Defying World?"

The middle-aged man thought about it for a moment before he exclaimed, "It's him?! Duan Ling Tian was the person who was with the Dark Night Demi Saint from the Outer Boundary's Sacred Lightning Realm?"

Xiao Mu Bai said with a nod, "That's right."

Unexpectedly, an angry and disappointed expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face. Then, he said, "He… He actually lowered himself and became the Dark Night Demi Saint's boy toy?"

Xiao Mu Bai said, slightly annoyed, "What are you talking about? Haven't you always had a high regard for him? Why do you have so little trust in him now? Or, was he this kind of person in your eyes all along?"

The middle-aged man looked sheepish as he asked, "My lord, did you find out something?"

Based on the news the middle-aged man heard, it was said that someone from the God Defying World had become Duan You Wei's boy toy and that boy toy had brought Duan You Wei back to the God Defying World for some unknown reason.

"The Dark Night Demi Saint treats Duan Ling Tian like a younger brother. As for the reason behind her action… It's naturally because she sees his potential and wants to build a connection in advance," Xiao Mu Bai said before he asked, "How strong do you think he is now?"

"I don't know," the middle-aged man said as he shook his head, "However, since an imminent World supreme powerhouse treats him like a younger brother, he has to be a powerful advanced Supreme God. The Dark Night Demi Saint is skilled in the law of life… With her comprehension, she must have found out that Duan Ling Tian is young."

"Indeed, he's already an advanced Supreme God, and a powerful one at that," Xiao Mu Bai said with a nod, "However, he's not just a powerful advanced Supreme God. He's now invincible among those below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods. This is what the Dark Night Demi Saint told me…"

"What?!" the middle-aged man exclaimed in shock. He did not expect that the young man from back then was now almost at the peak of the realm of advanced Supreme Gods. Since Duan Ling Tian was invincible among those below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods, it meant that he was very close to becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God!

The middle-aged man's breathing quickened as he said, "My lord, he may become the fourth peerless top advanced Supreme God in the history of our God Defying World just like you, your father, and the Sword of Time who successfully became supreme powerhouses!"

Indeed.

In the history of the God Defying World, there were more than a dozen peerless top advanced Supreme Gods. However, only Xiao Mu Bai, his father, and the Sword of Time successfully became supreme powerhouses.

In the middle-aged man's opinion, Duan Ling Tian would definitely become a supreme powerhouse after becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God. After all, Duan Ling Tian was so young, but he had already accomplished so much. Moreover, due to his young age, Duan Ling Tian had plenty of time to work toward becoming a supreme powerhouse after becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God.

"Perhaps…" Xiao Mu Bai said with a faint smile, "I really didn't expect that among those for whom I have high hopes, he'd be the one to make the most progress, surpassing the others in such a short time. He even surpassed his senior sister, Huangfu Meng Yuan…"

Huangfu Meng Yuan was Duan Ling Tian's senior sister in the Myriad Laws Academy's Inner Palace faction. She was also among the few young people for whom Xiao Mu Bai had high hopes.

At this time, the middle-aged suddenly thought of something and said, "My lord, Feng Qing Yang, the successor of the Sword of Time and Duan Ling Tian's master, has also gone to the Outer Boundary. His Sword Dao is definitely among the most, if not the most, powerful after the Sword of Time. If he doesn't die prematurely, he also has a high chance of becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God, right? If his Sword Dao is at the seventh stage, even if his law of time is only at the perfect form, he'll definitely become a peerless top advanced Supreme God after breaking through the realm of advanced Supreme Gods! He and Duan Ling Tian are really a terrifying master-and-disciple duo!"

…

After Duan Ling Tian left the God Defying World, Feng Qing Yang did not stay for long before he left for the Outer Boundary as well. Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of this.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian and Duan You Wei had left the Xia clan after staying a night. After all, they still had matters to attend to in the Sacred Lightning Realm.

Duan Ling Tian was in a rush during this visit back to the God Defying World, and Duan You Wei was with him. As such, he had to restrain his strong desire to see his family and friends in the mundane realm.

'When I return again, I'll visit my parents and the others. I wonder how's Huan'er doing. Before my doppelganger from the law of time faded away, she was already an Emperor of Gods. Based on her progress, after all these years, she should be a Supreme God now, right?' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
