War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 4718 Quadruple Dao Merging Powerhouse (Grand Finale)

Throughout the Divine Land, it was widely recognized that only two practitioners followed the path of the Limitless Sword Dao. One was the local talent Chen Ming Hao, a member of the prestigious Chen clan from Myriad Mountain, while the other was the outsider Duan Ling Tian, who hailed from the internal world of the Life Creation Chart.

Upon his arrival in the Divine Land, Duan Ling Tian ascended to become a Dao Merging powerhouse. By a twist of fate, his mastery over the Limitless Sword Dao placed him in direct opposition to Chen Ming Hao. While Chen Ming Hao alone would have struggled to contend with Duan Ling Tian’s prowess, he was backed by his grandfather, Chen Jiu Xiao. As one of the rare Triple Dao Merging powerhouses in the Divine Land, Chen Jiu Xiao’s involvement led many to believe that Duan Ling Tian’s days were numbered. Word had already spread of the grandfather and grandson duo pursuing Duan Ling Tian to the Surging River Divine Kingdom, making it clear they intended to eliminate him once and for all.

Consequently, when the celestial phenomenon signaling the fall of a Dao Merging powerhouse of the Limitless Sword Dao manifested, the masses assumed it was Duan Ling Tian who had perished. Given the protection of Chen Jiu Xiao, few imagined Chen Ming Hao would be the one to fall.

"Retreat!"

Though consumed by fury over his grandson's death, Chen Jiu Xiao realized the situation was hopeless. Fearing for his own life, he chose a decisive escape rather than staying to face his foes.

While Chen Jiu Xiao’s Dao was not a unique path, his status as a Triple Dao Merging powerhouse provided a significant advantage. The Time Sword Dao of Feng Qing Yang failed to bind him because the sheer gap in their cultivation levels allowed the Triple Dao to overpower the Double Dao. Even though Duan Ling Tian possessed superior strength to Chen Jiu Xiao, the difficulty of restraining a cultivator of that caliber made it impossible to secure the kill at that moment.

"It is truly a shame he managed to flee..." Feng Qing Yang remarked, his voice tinged with disappointment.

In contrast, Duan Ling Tian remained calm, offering a faint smile. "It was to be expected. He is, after all, a Triple Dao Merging powerhouse. To truly end him, we must wait until you reach the Triple Dao realm or I break through to become a Quadruple Dao Merging powerhouse."

"I shall certainly reach the Triple Dao Merging realm before you!" Feng Qing Yang countered quickly.

"That remains to be seen," Duan Ling Tian replied with a chuckle. "Master, since taking command of the Life Creation Chart and deciphering its fundamental laws, my Mastery Dao has advanced. Having reached the ninth stage, I intend to utilize the Life Creation Chart to force a breakthrough into the Quadruple Dao Merging realm."

If Duan Ling Tian achieved the status of a Quadruple Dao Merging powerhouse, he would truly be without equal. At that level, even a combined assault from every Dao Merging powerhouse in the Divine Land would fail to stop him. He would be able to traverse the world at will and easily strike down ordinary Double Dao Merging powerhouses like Chen Ming Hao.

Feng Qing Yang fell silent at these words. After a long pause, he let out a breath and said, "Take me back to the Solitary Destructive Heaven."

"Master, why not leave a doppelganger there while your true self remains in the Divine Land? Do you not wish to test your blade against the other Dao Merging powerhouses here?" Duan Ling Tian asked playfully.

Now that they could return to the world within the Life Creation Chart, they regained the ability to manifest law-based doppelgangers.

"Perhaps another time... I find myself weary. You certainly have a way of killing one's motivation," Feng Qing Yang said, waving his hand as he shook his head in resignation.

Duan Ling Tian did not press the issue further and escorted Feng Qing Yang back into the Life Creation Chart's world. Duan Ling Tian himself rarely visited in person, instead maintaining several doppelgangers within the chart to stay by his family's side.

With Chen Ming Hao dead, a strange sense of quietude settled over Duan Ling Tian. His long-standing enemies, Lei Hong and Yun Qing Yan, were already dealt with. As for Chen Jiu Xiao, his fate would be sealed once Duan Ling Tian reached the Quadruple Dao realm. For a brief period, he felt as though his list of goals had run dry.

"I suppose I shall seek out some Triple Dao Merging powerhouses for a few rounds of sparring..."

Duan Ling Tian was confident he surpassed even the strongest Triple Dao Merging powerhouses in the land; he simply wished to witness the extent of their techniques.

...

The Divine Land was thrown into chaos as Duan Ling Tian traveled between major factions, challenging and defeating their Triple Dao Merging powerhouses. The realization that he had already reached the Triple Dao realm sent shockwaves through the cultivation world.

"So, the practitioner of the Limitless Sword Dao who fell wasn't Duan Ling Tian!"

"If Duan Ling Tian is already a Triple Dao Merging powerhouse, then the one who died must have been Chen Ming Hao!"

"How is this possible? He only entered the Dao Merging realm a millennium ago. How could he reach the Triple Dao stage so rapidly?"

"Is it possible that Duan Ling Tian was the one who slew Yu Luo He? If that's true, he must be the current master of the Life Creation Chart!"

Suspicions regarding the Life Creation Chart grew rampant. While some Dao Merging powerhouses considered forming an alliance to seize it, their fear of Duan Ling Tian’s soaring power caused them to abandon such dangerous thoughts.

...

Three thousand years later, a new omen appeared in the sky, marking the demise of Chen Jiu Xiao of the Myriad Mountain Chen clan. Those who had once harbored ill intentions toward Duan Ling Tian felt a cold sweat, grateful they had never acted on their greed.

Even without a formal announcement, every powerhouse in the Divine Land understood the gravity of Chen Jiu Xiao’s passing.

"He actually killed Chen Jiu Xiao... does this mean he has ascended to the Quadruple Dao Merging realm?"

"Only a Quadruple Dao Merging powerhouse could have the strength to take Chen Jiu Xiao’s life!"

...

Within the Surging River Divine Kingdom, Jiang Tian Zheng and the divine monk from the Temple of Bitter Sea looked at one another with complex emotions.

"It is hard to believe... to become a Quadruple Dao Merging powerhouse in such a lightning-fast span of time..." Jiang Tian Zheng sighed deeply. The news of Duan Ling Tian reaching the Triple Dao realm three millennia ago had been shocking enough, but this latest development made him feel as though his own centuries of Cultivation were insignificant.

"Indeed. In just a few thousand years, he rose from a mere Dao Establishment cultivator to become the undisputed peak of the Divine Land," the divine monk added, his voice full of wonder.

...

Having reached the pinnacle as a Quadruple Dao Merging powerhouse, Duan Ling Tian dedicated his days to his wives, eventually welcoming more children into his family. Feng Qing Yang’s wives also gave birth to a son and a daughter.

The master and disciple embraced a peaceful life surrounded by their loved ones, the affairs of the Divine Land fading into a distant memory.

(The End)
