War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 4716 Admit Defeat

The Chen clan of the Myriad Mountains was situated in a sprawling territory of picturesque beauty, framed by towering peaks and crystalline rivers. As a premier power within the Divine Land, their dominance was solidified not only by standard Dao Merging experts but by a formidable Triple Dao Merging powerhouse who anchored the clan's status.

In days past, even with only two ordinary Dao Merging experts, the Chen clan was a force few dared to cross. Now, with one of those ancestors ascending to the ranks of a Triple Dao Merging powerhouse, their position seemed untouchable.

If any outsider claimed they intended to bring trouble to the Chen clan, the clansmen would simply sneer in derision. They would mockingly retort, "Anyone seeking a quarrel with us is seeking their own end. Do you truly believe our two ancestors are to be trifled with?"

However, despite such confidence, two uninvited guests arrived at the Chen clan today.

Swoosh!

A suffocating and terrifying Divine Consciousness suddenly expanded, blanketed the entire Chen clan estate. The sheer pressure left the clan members gasping for air. Those with lower Cultivation bases were forced to their knees, their bodies trembling uncontrollably under the weight of the aura.

"A-A Dao Merging powerhouse?"

Numerous Dao Establishment experts were left in a state of shock and confusion. They struggled to comprehend which Dao Merging powerhouse possessed the audacity to provoke the Chen clan, especially knowing one of their ancestors had achieved Triple Dao Merging status.

"Which Dao Merging expert dares to insult our Chen clan?!"

"Hmph! Let them act high and mighty for now; they will only be more humiliated later! In the Divine Land, the Chen clan bows to no one!"

The majority of the clansmen remained composed and defiant. Their confidence stemmed from the knowledge that two Dao Merging ancestors protected them. They fully expected their elders to intervene shortly, driving the intruders away in a shameful retreat.

"The Time Sword Dao?"

A voice laced with irritation resonated throughout the Chen clan grounds. Shortly after, a figure materialized near the two visitors. It was a green-clad elder who possessed a strangely youthful countenance—Chen Jiu Xiao, the Triple Dao Merging pillar of the Chen clan. His face was grim as he stared down Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang. After a brief appraisal, his cold eyes locked onto Feng Qing Yang. "It appears you are that enigmatic figure who reached the Dao Merging realm a millennium ago," he remarked icily.

Chen Jiu Xiao paused before adding, "The Time Sword Dao is undoubtedly powerful... however, that alone does not grant you the right to cause a disturbance here!"

Before Feng Qing Yang could offer a retort, Chen Ming Hao arrived on the scene. He was the very man who had mastered the Limitless Sword Dao, much like Duan Ling Tian had in the past. Upon his arrival, he joined his grandfather in glaring at Feng Qing Yang with frigid hostility.

The oppressive Divine Consciousness that had gripped the clan belonged to Feng Qing Yang. He had unleashed it intentionally, his heart burning with indignation as he remembered the grievances Chen Ming Hao had inflicted upon Duan Ling Tian years ago.

"You are merely a novice Dao Merging powerhouse, yet you presume to act with such arrogance before the Chen clan? Do you take us for weaklings? If you are truly so bold, do not think of fleeing later. Let us settle this in a fight to the death!" Chen Ming Hao declared with a mocking sneer.

"A fight to the death?" Feng Qing Yang repeated, a look of disdain crossing his face as he observed Chen Ming Hao. "Chen Ming Hao, is it? You dare speak such words with nothing but your Limitless Sword Dao to back you up? I wonder, if Chen Jiu Xiao weren't standing beside you, would you still possess such a big mouth?"

Feng Qing Yang’s cutting remark hit its mark, causing Chen Ming Hao’s face to flush with rage. He stared at Feng Qing Yang with murderous intent.

At that moment, the silent, purple-clad Duan Ling Tian spoke up calmly. "Master, since he is so eager for a life-and-death struggle, we should grant him his wish."

As the words left his lips, Duan Ling Tian erupted with power. His energy surged forth like a primordial beast emerging from the depths of ancient time!

Whoosh!

The Divine Consciousness of a Triple Dao Merging powerhouse exploded outward in every direction. The force was so immense that it caused Chen Jiu Xiao’s own Divine Consciousness—which had been countering Feng Qing Yang—to shudder violently.

"A Triple Dao Merging powerhouse?!"

The color drained from Chen Jiu Xiao’s face. Being a Triple Dao Merging expert himself, he immediately recognized the nature of the three merged Daos within Duan Ling Tian. He realized instantly that this specific fusion—the Limitless Space Sword Dao—was a brand-new Dao never before seen in the annals of the Divine Land. "You... you are Duan Ling Tian?!"

In that heartbeat, Chen Jiu Xiao deduced the identity of the purple-clad youth. This was the same Duan Ling Tian from the world of the Life Creation Chart who had been cast into the Divine Land long ago.

In the past, Duan Ling Tian’s mastery of the Limitless Sword Dao had created a conflict with Chen Ming Hao. Because of that rivalry, they had pursued him to the Surging River Divine Kingdom. That was the origin of their blood feud.

Though Chen Jiu Xiao found it hard to swallow, he knew this Triple Dao Merging expert wielding the Limitless Space Sword Dao could be no one else. There was no other reason for such a powerful figure to come seeking vengeance.

"Duan Ling Tian?!"

Chen Ming Hao’s expression twisted in horror as he heard his grandfather’s exclamation.

"This is impossible! You only reached the Dao Merging realm a thousand years ago! How could you have possibly merged a third Dao so rapidly?!"

Chen Ming Hao harbored a deep-seated hatred for Duan Ling Tian, wishing for nothing more than to see him destroyed. Previously, he was frustrated because Duan Ling Tian had vanished into hiding. He never expected his enemy to walk right into the Chen clan—nor did he expect Duan Ling Tian to return as one of the elite Triple Dao Merging powerhouses of the Divine Land. Most terrifying of all was that his merged Dao, the Limitless Space Sword Dao, was an entirely unique path.

Duan Ling Tian’s domineering Divine Consciousness ruthlessly suppressed Chen Ming Hao’s aura. Even Chen Jiu Xiao’s presence felt fragile and overwhelmed by the sheer force of Duan Ling Tian’s power. "Duan Ling Tian, I admit I was in the wrong regarding our past encounter. I am prepared to offer you a formal apology..."

Despite his wounded pride, Chen Ming Hao spoke with forced humility, urged on by a frantic Voice Transmission from Chen Jiu Xiao.

Chen Jiu Xiao understood clearly that they were outmatched by the combined strength of Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang.

Chen Ming Hao’s Limitless Sword Dao could not stand against Feng Qing Yang’s Time Sword Dao.

Furthermore, Chen Jiu Xiao knew his own merged Daos were inferior to a revolutionary new path like the Limitless Space Sword Dao.

Internally, Chen Jiu Xiao cursed his luck. He surmised that Duan Ling Tian must have achieved his Triple Dao Merging breakthrough in some secluded corner of the world. Had it happened elsewhere, the news of such a phenomenon would have swept through the Divine Land instantly.

While the physical range of a Triple Dao Merging breakthrough was similar to a standard one, the celestial signs were distinct and unmistakable.

Faced with Chen Ming Hao’s sudden plea, Duan Ling Tian gave a cold, mocking laugh. "If a simple apology could settle things, why would I have bled and struggled so hard to merge my third Dao back then?"
