Ancient Godly Monarch - chapter 1025

Chapter 1025: Battle

 

Particle World: Royal Sacred Region, Star River Association.

At this moment, a group of experts had gathered together. Powerful people had arrived, even stronger than those from the Star River Association. The immortal-foundation experts who dominated this particle world were all exceedingly respectful towards them.

“Where is Qin Wentian?” The man in the lead asked.

“We do not know, but according to our information network, Qin Wentian set up a grand formation at the Bai Clan of Sky Harmony City. After that, the entire Bai Clan vanished completely. When we went to investigate, our immortal senses were unable to find them,” one the people reported, lowering his head. Qin Wentian had disappeared completely.

“Could it be that he left this particle world and has headed to the immortal realms?” The man in the lead made no accusations as he calmly asked the question.

“I don’t think so. If Qin Wentian has left this world for the immortal realms, there’s no need for him to inscribe a formation at all. He could just bring them all with him by using immortal-ranked treasures,” the person replied.

“Mhm, sounds right. Let’s head directly to Chu Country, so keep your immortal senses activated permanently. We must find him, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground,” commanded the man in the lead. He soared through the air and headed towards Chu, with many experts following closely behind him.

In Chu, a group of immortals descended from the air, sweeping across the entire country with their immortal might. Countless people inclined their heads as their hearts trembled. These experts were all so powerful—each of them had auras that towered up into the sky, and they radiated waves of immortal might. They were all immortals.

The immortals then continued to fly towards Sky Harmony City. But when they discovered that the city was completely abandoned, they frenziedly swept their immortal senses over everything. They scoured the sky and earth in their attempts to find any trace of Qin Wentian and the others.

Two hours later, every inch of Chu had been searched. The immortals gathered back at the airspace above Sky Harmony City, shaking their heads in bewilderment. They couldn’t find anyone despite their intense search. It was as if Qin Wentian and his comrades had completely disappeared in the span of a single night.

“Maybe they’re no longer in Chu. Do you want to search this entire particle world instead?” someone suggested. With so many immortals here, they would only need to spend a little more time and they’d be able to comb the entire world with their immortal senses.

“Alright, search directly through this particle world. If we still fail then, we will invite an immortal king to help out,” commanded the expert in the lead. “Each of you will go to your assigned locations—prepare to move out.”

“Roger!” All of them nodded, preparing to search this entire world. They would stop at nothing to dig out Qin Wentian, no matter where he hid himself.

However, it was destined that they would return empty-handed. After several days of searching fruitlessly in every corner of this world, they still couldn’t find any traces of Qin Wentian or those from the Bai Clan. Qin Wentian’s group of people seemed to have really vanished into thin air.

These experts could only return to the Star River Association and send men to monitor the situation at Sky Harmony City.

When Qin Wentian returned from the immortal realms, he immediately went to Sky Harmony City and landed where the Bai Manor used to be. To everyone else, this place was completely empty. Qin Wentian then stepped around the ground, his movements following a strange rhythm. The previously inscribed runes started to light up as thunderous rumbling noises rang through the air. Below the ground, a vast manor appeared. It was none other than the Bai Manor!

The Bai Manor returned to its original location with the people of the Bai Clan, Qin Wentian’s kin, and his closest friends all safely inside. It was highly likely that the Star River Association wouldn’t have expected this in their wildest dreams.

“Wentian, the Star River Association was here, and they brought with them many experts. You must leave this place immediately and return to the immortal realms,” urged the Medicine Sovereign as he stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian froze at his words, and Fairy Qingmei also took the chance to speak, “They will definitely monitor everything here. Wentian, you’d better leave now while you still can or it will truly be too late. This grand formation might have the ability to conceal the heavens and oceans, but it’s already been exposed now.”

“The Star River Association came by?” Qin Wentian asked. Apparently, the Star River Association had acted faster than expected. The reinforcements from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect were still on their way.

“Yes, they sent more than ten immortal foundation experts. Not only that, those experts seemed very powerful as well. We can’t let this drag on any more,” Mo Qingcheng joined in.

“Don’t worry, I brought something back with me. Let’s go; we will instantly leave for the outskirts of Sky Harmony City. This place is too small,” said Qin Wentian. He controlled the formation and directed it through the air to the crowd’s immense shock. He was moving the Bai Manor to the forest outside of Sky Harmony City. Everyone now realized that the ‘disappearance’ of the Bai Clan was nothing more than a smokescreen created by Qin Wentian. The Bai Clan had always been in the same spot, it was just that no one could see nor sense it.

Outside Sky Harmony City, in the vast forest outskirts lay the place where Qin Wentian had once been rescued by Mo Qingcheng. Staring at this forest, Qin Wentian smiled as he glanced at Mo Qingcheng. “Qingcheng, you saved me here back then, but you left without revealing who you were. It made me think that someone else had saved me.”

“Mhm, back then it was Little Rascal who led me to the forest. I’d followed after him for so long, but the moment he met you, he instantly jumped to you and decided to follow you instead.” Mo Qingcheng glared at Little Rascal in her arms as she relayed her story.

“This baobao was tying the knot of fate between you two,” Little Rascal remarked with self-satisfaction. Both Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng looked at him doubtfully.

“Are we really not heading to the immortal realms?” Mo Qingcheng held on to Qin Wentian’s hand—she was still worried in her heart.

“It’s fine.” Qin Wentian smiled at her. After that, he took a step forward and with a wave of his hand, thunderous rumbling sounds rang out as an incomparably vast ancient city appeared before everyone’s eyes. This ancient city was extremely majestic and gave off an aura akin to a divine weapon, resembling a work of art from the heavens.

“Go!” Qin Wentian shouted. Next, Driftsnow City enveloped the entire forest on the outskirts of Sky Harmony City. And a moment later, an ancient city appeared just outside of Sky Harmony City.

“Come on, let’s enter.” Qin Wentian then smiled. The others beside him were completely dazed; they were all stunned by this sight. Qin Wentian went to the immortal realms and had brought back such a majestic ancient city?

He brought a whole city back?!

The people at the entrance of Sky Harmony City were similarly stunned by this sight. The news soon circulated around Sky Harmony City and soon, countless people headed over for a look. They stood on the city walls, staring at the ancient city that appeared nearby. Anyone looking at the city felt the remarkable stateliness emanating from its walls—Sky Harmony City couldn’t even be considered a city when compared to it.

“Is this something Qin Wentian took from the immortal realms? Cities in the immortal realms are actually mobile?” The people of Sky Harmony City couldn’t have imagined something like this. As for Qin Wentian’s kin and comrades, all of them had entered the city. Fatty Fan Le was the most excited. “Boss, how did you manage to get your hands on such a good city?”

“This city is an almighty weaponized city. I obtained it by chance,” Qin Wentian replied, and the people nearby took a deep breath in response.

A weaponized city; a city that was a divine weapon…

“Can this city attack?” asked the Medicine Sovereign.

“Naturally. In the past, when I was at the Celestial Phenomenon level, I could already control it to the extent where it can unleash extremely powerful attacks. Now that I’m at Immortal Foundation, the power it can unleash will undoubtedly be even stronger.” Qin Wentian nodded. By borrowing the power of Driftsnow City, he had managed to kill immortals even at the ascendant level.

“It looks like you’ve planned this for a long time.” The Medicine Sovereign nodded his head. Of course, Qin Wentian would know what to do.

The news of the Bai Manor’s reappearance was instantly delivered to the Star River Association. Before long, the association’s immortal foundation experts soon arrived. More than ten experts floated in the air above the ancient city, and they simultaneously released their immortal might. They lit up the entire area with their immortal light, their power unexcelled in this world.

Qin Wentian’s will connected to the Nine Immortality Bells. He stood atop of them calmly, and stared at the various experts in the air.

“Capture him.” The immortal in the lead instantly commanded, not bothering to waste time bantering with Qin Wentian.

—BOOM!— Waves of immortal might erupted forth as light radiated from numerous immortal foundations, generating a pressure that blasted down towards the ancient city. Within the city, boundless runes sparkled as heavenly chains shot up into the air. The chains blotted out the skies and aimed for the immortal-foundation experts.

“SEVER!” One of the experts had an immortal foundation in the shape of a sword. Standing there, he seemed like an unparalleled sword of the world, emanating absolute sharpness, as he tried to slash apart the ancient city’s heavenly chains.

—RUMBLE!— Qin Wentian’s form expanded to over 1,000 meters in size, reaching the height of a giant. He projected an increasingly terrifying faint shadow that surrounded him. From within that shadow, Qin Wentian controlled his arm to grab at those immortals in the air. The immortals were forced to retreat, yet they only saw the light from this ancient city growing even more resplendent. Arrows formed from law energy materialized and shot through the air, capable of slaying even immortals.

The experts instantly drew on more power from their foundations and shattered the arrows. But the shadow formed a gigantic palm imprint that was just too fearsome. It was so large that they had no way to block it.

One of the immortal foundation experts couldn’t evade quick enough and was immediately captured by the gigantic palm. With a ferocious, bone-crunching squeeze, the immortal was crushed into pieces amidst screams of pain and agony.

“Retreat!” The leader of the Star River Association’s immortals felt that there was something amiss about the situation. This city seemed to be the legendary Driftsnow City, and somehow, Qin Wentian could borrow its strength in combat. And in this case, although they had the advantage in terms of numbers, they were far inferior in sheer combat power.

The other immortals also felt that something was wrong. Borrowing the might of this ancient city, Qin Wentian could actually unleash such a terrifying level of power.

Suddenly, they saw Qin Wentian guiding the gigantic palm to reach up towards the sky. Instantly, a supreme sword might swept over everything, quickly transforming into a sword qi tempest that tried to bury all the experts within. The leader hurriedly soared higher up into the sky and rushed into the clouds. He didn’t have time to care about the others.

“DIE!” The palm transformed into the form of a sword finger, piercing outwards. In an instant, a surge of immortal vanquishing might ravaged through the surroundings as a piercing sound rang out. The might penetrated through numerous immortal foundations, and the immortals fell from the air—they had all perished at the moment of impact!

In front of this city, it appeared that immortal foundation experts were as weak and as fragile as ants.

From afar, over at Sky Harmony City, the mortals all felt their hearts trembling. Many of them were fleeing blindly when they felt the waves of immortal might washing through them. But there was also a large portion of people that chose to stay put to watch the battle. Right now, great tidal waves of emotion rocked their hearts. Was this strength truly a level of power a human stellar martial cultivator could unleash?!

Chapter 1026: Reinforcements from the Star River Association

 

The immortals stood in the air, each possessing such boundless might that they could easily destroy an entire city with the flick of a finger. Sky Harmony City was so small that the immortals would have no trouble invading it. The stellar martial cultivators were like ants to them—easily exterminated.

The immortals were exalted and supremely powerful, yet Qin Wentian had actually killed over ten immortals with a single strike. How immensely shocking was this scene?

That young genius who’d stepped out of Sky Harmony City dozens of years ago—he now stood at the peak of this world, capable of vanquishing immortals with the flip of a single hand. A violent wave of awe rocked their hearts—heroes could be born anywhere. A young man from Sky Harmony City could actually achieve such unbelievable heights.

In terms of emotions, the people of Sky Harmony City naturally hoped that Qin Wentian would end up the victor. He could truly be considered a legend of their city. He had become its symbol, and now the entire world would think of the name ‘Sky Harmony City’. Only one person had achieved such heights in this world, and that person had hailed from Sky Harmony City.

No matter how strong the Star River Association was, it was still an external power.

The Vanquishing Immortal Sword was an immortal technique, and an extremely powerful one. Previously, whenever Qin Wentian used it, he would exhaust all the strength and energy of his body and end up burning his own essence. But now, he was a true immortal and had a perfect, saint-grade immortal foundation. In addition to borrowing the power of Driftsnow City, one could very well imagine the overwhelming might his attacks had become. Even without attacking, his energy fluctuations were enough to injure his opponents.

“LEAVE!” The leader among the immortal-foundation experts gave the command to retreat as their group soared into the clouds, not daring to get too close to the ancient Driftsnow City.

The battle had quickly started, but it also ended quickly as well. In just an instant, the battle erupted to its climax with the death of over ten immortal foundation experts.

The faint gigantic shadow that enveloped Qin Wentian had vanished. His body had also returned to its original size. Clad in a white robe, he swept a cold glance over the fleeing experts of the Star River Association. Most likely, these people had yet to admit defeat. But no matter, he had requested for reinforcements from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, who should be arriving soon.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Wentian couldn’t help but ask when he saw his close friends staring at him.

His friends were all in a daze, as though they couldn’t believe their eyes. Qin Wentian, whose strength was akin to a heavenly god, was actually someone this familiar to them. It all smacked of surrealism.

“Ah, my heart is truly smashed.” Fan Le coughed. No matter what, he and Qin Wentian had fought side-by-side back at the Emperor Star Academy. And now he couldn’t even catch sight of his back. Qin Wentian was just too powerful—they were no longer at the same level.

“I have no idea how you’ve cultivated all this time.” Fairy Qingmei felt the long age of her years. As for Grand Xia’s royal clan they were staring at Qin Wentian as if he were a God. This was none other than their sovereign monarch. How powerful was he? There was no one in this entire world who was a match for him.

“Bos, are there any methods for people to instantly become immortals?” Fatty Fan Le walked to Qin Wentian’s side as his eyes gleamed.

“Yes, there’s one.” Qin Wentian seriously nodded.

“For real? What’s the method?” Fatty’s eyes gleamed with an even brighter light.

“Let me beat you up, and you’ll soon become an ‘immortal’.” Qin Wentian clenched his fist, emitting a cracking sound as everyone around them started to laugh.

“Everyone, Driftsnow City is very large, so you can choose where you wish to stay. However, try to choose a place near the central core. I’m worried that the energy fluctuations might accidentally affect you during a great battle.” Qin Wentian glanced at the others as he spoke. Everyone nodded their heads before dispersing. All of them felt awe in their hearts. This city was not only mobile, it could be used in combat as well.

Right now at Sky Harmony City, countless people stood at high vantage points and stared at the majestic ancient city before them.

“Absolute victory. Qin Wentian has won, and he even killed more than ten immortals!”

“Qin Wentian from the Qin Residence is unrivalled in this world. He’s the monarch of Grand Xia, the true king of Chu. And he is someone from our Sky Harmony City.”

Many experts sighed in admiration, deep in discussing as they moved around the city. Everyone was caught in a rush of excitement while celebrating Qin Wentian’s victory. Cheers resounded throughout Sky Harmony City. With such a character from their city, how could they fail to be proud?

The news of his victory soon circulated around Chu, Grand Xia, and even to the Royal Sacred Region. Everyone knew that the immortals from the Star River Association had died, overwhelmingly suppressed by Qin Wentian. The headquarters of the Star River Association were faced with exceedingly great pressure to succeed.

This victory truly made everyone in this particle world feel Qin Wentian’s true strength He really was a legend.

This battle had immensely influenced the masses. For those who worshipped the Star River Association like gods, they felt their hearts wavering. This external power who came from the immortal realms had actually been defeated by Qin Wentian, someone born and bred in this particle world. This meant that the Star River Association couldn’t be the absolute hegemon in this world. At the very least, they wouldn’t be so long as Qin Wentian was alive.

In various places of this particle world, those who had initially wanted to join the Star River Association were all hesitating now. They chose to continue observing. Now, the Star River Association had already formed a death grudge with Qin Wentian. Neither could live while the other survived, and until the end result was clear, it was better to stay neutral and not be so quick to join the Star River Association.

After this battle, many people started to rush towards Sky Harmony City. This included members of the Emperor Star Academy like Mustang, as well as Chu Mang from the royal palace of Chu. They all had one destination in mind: the ancient Driftsnow City. The city contained many of Qin Wentian’s close friends and comrades from this particle world. He felt a formless pressure at knowing that their lives were in his hands. If he was defeated by the Star River Association, the consequences would be unimaginable.

All the powers of Grand Xia were heading to Chu. A group of women in white were flying in the air. These women all exuded an extraordinary aura, radiating hints of a celestial bearing. This was especially so for the woman in the lead. Her face was veiled but from her perfect figure and skin, one could feel that she was a flawless beauty.

“Right now, Qin Wentian is smack dab in the middle of the tempest. The Star River Association is clearly a great power in the immortal realms. Let’s take a look at Sky Harmony City, but try to stay out of any trouble,” said a woman with a veil over face.

She then continued, “Hey, don’t you guys wish to take a look at Qin Wentian? This is the most elite character that has ever appeared in the history of our world. I’ve never heard of such a young immortal, and more importantly, he’s so handsome!” The voice of the woman was filled with mischievousness and a slight hint of affection.

“But, the Star River Association will never stop now. It’s very dangerous there,” commented someone at the side.

“Don’t worry, I’ll observe while keeping my distance from the Star River Association, and I won’t get involved with the battle. If not, the others will think that I, Lin Xian`er, am taking the initiative to pursue a man!” That woman had a soul-stirring smile on her face as she continued, “Even if he really is the most elite character in the history of our entire particle world, I, Lin Xian`er, will never take the initiative.”

“That’s fine. We will watch from Sky Harmony City then,” said the person beside her in a low voice; she had nothing more to say.

And so, the veiled woman was none other than the number one beauty of the Royal Sacred Region, the holy maiden of the Celestial Maiden Sect, Lin Xian`er. Initially, she wanted to wait until her strength reached a certain level before asking the Medicine Sovereign for help to send her to the immortal realms. Beauty was nothing but trouble. Given her beauty, if she headed to the immortal realms at such a low level of strength, it would only end in calamity.

…..

Sky Harmony City, in an inn near the entrance of the city. One could see the majestic ancient Driftsnow City from the top floor of this inn. It was flooded with people, and Lin Xian`er and her comrades were here as well.

“Can we sit here?” Lin Xian`er stared at an excellent spot near a window as she spoke to the people there. Her eyes could only be described as extremely mesmerizing, and there was a hint of fragility in her air, as though she needed the protection of others. The people at the table instantly stood up and relinquished their seats, “Of course. Fairies, please be seated.”

“Thank you.” Lin Xian`er smiled. Although her features were obscured by the veil, it still caused the hearts of those people to quicken.

Lin Xian`er stared at the majestic and ancient city as a gentle smile flashed, “Is this the weaponized city? Qin Wentian’s hometown should be Sky Harmony City, right?”

“Yes, Qin Wentian is a descendant of the Qin Residence from our Sky Harmony City. He was unable to cultivate during his youth, and so the Bai Clan broke off their marriage engagement. However, Qin Wentian is magnamious and has already resolved the grudges between him and the Bai Clan. His exploits have made him into a legendary character.”

“Yes, there’s no doubt that Qin Wentian is the legendary character of our Sky Harmony City. He stands at the absolute peak of this entire world.”

“Fairies, you must be from some place far away, right? It’s impossible to relay all the tales of Qin Wentian’s deeds, even if we talked for three days and nights. After the Bai Clan broke off the engagement, he went to the Emperor Star Academy to cultivate, and in the end he decided who the Emperor of Chu should be, and ultimately became the Monarch of Grand Xia. After that, he helped the Medicine Sovereign to destroy the hegemon of this world back then, the Royal Sacred Sect. He is a miracle, a legend.”

Everyone mumbled, all talking about the glorious deeds of Qin Wentian.

—BOOM!—

Abruptly, the inn shuddered, causing the hearts of the people inside to tremble as well. The boisterous noise fell to silence.

“What’s going on?” Expressions of shock were on the faces of the crowd. At that very moment, a supreme might enveloped the entire area, affecting everyone in Sky Harmony City, and even the entirety of Chu Country. Under the oppressive pressure, all of them felt they had to prostrate before this supreme, unparalleled might.

~bzz~ Driftsnow City suddenly radiated a layer of resplendent light. And in the air, a figure clad in the violet-golden robes of the Star River Association could be seen descending from the sky. This man was the source of the pressure. His hand stretched downwards, and his palm seemed to be capable of obliterating an entire city.

—BANG!— The layer of light shattered as a world-supreme destructive aura descended. That gigantic hand was like the decree of a divinity that wanted to annihilate all before it!

All sounds faded to silence, and time seemed to stop. Everyone stared at this display of power as their hearts shook, feeling fear from the depths of their soul!

Chapter 1027: Threat of an Immortal King

 

“How powerful.” The atmosphere turned silent, and the faces of those in the inn had all paled. Under that overwhelmingly oppressive pressure, many among them were forced to prostrate right on the ground. Lin Xian`er’s countenance changed drastically as she stared in the direction of the Star River Association. The golden-robed figure felt like a divine entity—his aura enveloped everything, yet his attacks were all focused on a single point. He kept his energy fluctuations fully contained without leaking through or affecting the surroundings.

Such control was simply too fearsome; such control was absolute.

Did the Star River Association send an outrageously strong expert to this world?

Before this, Qin Wentian had already sensed a trace of intense danger. His immortal sense dipped into the depths of the nine bells, and the entire Driftsnow City released scintillating layers of light that formed a protective screen around it. However, the layers of light shattered under the pressure of that single strike, jolting everyone in Driftsnow City so badly that they coughed out blood. Even Qin Wentian felt his body shaking from the impact.

—bzz!— There was no time to react. A gigantic terrifying hand instantly shot through space, smashing down on the ancient Driftsnow City.

“ARGH!” A thunderous, heaven-startling shout rang out as the entire Driftsnow City radiated a supreme immortal might. The Nine Immortality Bells trembled as they once again merged into one expansive, grand bell that enveloped the entire city. After which, the grand bell also shot through the air, smashing against the incoming gigantic palm.

—BANG!—

Another heaven-rumbling sound blasted through the air. The ancient grand bell shuddered as Qin Wentian spat out a mouthful of blood. His body shook tremendously and he found it difficult to stabilize his bearings. Inclining his head, he focused his immortal sense to connect more deeply with this city that the Driftsnow Master had forged and refined. The weaponized city could be used as a weapon, but the main point was that it was also a city. Its defenses always came first, attacking second.

All of Driftsnow City lit up as countless runes appeared, floating above the grand bell. This gigantic bell shimmered with brilliance as the chimes rang out endlessly, the sound echoing through the space. It manifested city walls of divine iron that surrounded the grand bell. It seemed to be the city’s most solid defense.

—BOOM BOOM BOOM!— The countenance of the expert in the air changed. He, who stood so imposingly in the air, launched out attacks of such power, yet he was still unable to breach the defenses of this city? How could this be possible?

The ancient grand bell trembled incessantly, but its defense stayed strong, blocking out the impact from the attacks. But the aftershocks were still enough to make those in the city feel extremely ill at ease. This was especially so for those with weaker cultivations, all of them were injured and coughing out blood, and there were even some who had already lost consciousness.

And Qin Wentian was the one who suffered the brunt of the remaining impact. His eyes were closed and his face had paled. But his immortal sense was still focused on activating the city’s state of absolute defense, not allowing that expert from the Star River Association to breach it. Unfortunately, the immortal king from the Star River Association had arrived here one step earlier compared to his reinforcements from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.

In the air, that expert continued with his attacks but to no avail. His countenance turned colder and colder, and he stomped the air in anger, causing the heavens and earth to tremble as many immortal foundation experts appeared behind him. Their expressions were all incredibly unsightly to behold. How can this city’s defenses be so powerful?

“Qin Wentian, scram the fuck out!” the immortal king in golden robes commanded arrogantly, his voice melding together with the heavens. Its energy jolted the interior of the grand bell, echoing endlessly within the bell. Qin Wentian opened his eyes, and he stared in the air as his expression turned grim, “The Star River Association truly looks up to I, Qin. To think that they’ve actually sent an immortal king to take action.”

The expression of that immortal king turned to ice. An overwhelming pressure gushed forth from him as he descended lower, directly stepping on the top of the grand bell.

—BOOM!— An earth-shattering sound echoed out. Qin Wentian felt his entire body shaking intensely. The grand bell enveloped all of Driftsnow City, and it was now sinking into the ground from the impact of that immortal king’s attack. The people inside the city all suffered injuries of various degrees.

That immortal king stood upon the bell, lowering his head and peering down with contempt at Qin Wentian as he once again commanded, “Scram the fuck out.”

Qin Wentian inclined his head, staring at the tyrannical gaze of the immortal king as a cold smile appeared on his face, “Using the might of immortal kings to bully people of a particle world. Are you that shameless?”

“IMPUDENT!” That immortal king stomped down violently once more as the grand bell sank deeper into the earth. Qin Wentian’s eyes were as cold as ever as he stared at that immortal king. As long as the defenses of the grand bell held, even an immortal king would soon die once the reinforcements from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect arrived.

“Do you really think I can do nothing to you if you turtle yourself in there?” That immortal king laughed coldly. He pointed to Sky Harmony City and continued speaking, “This city is your hometown. There should be many of your friends there, right? Do you think that I won’t annihilate this entire city?”

Qin Wentian’s heart trembled, but he forced his expression to remain calm. At this moment, he had to remain unwavering. The more he showed that he cared, the more this opponent would use Sky Harmony City to threaten him.

“You are a high-up immortal king. You dare to slaughter innocents—are you not afraid of incurring great sin?” Qin Wentian icily asked. “In addition, all my close friends and comrades are already in Driftsnow City, so there’s no longer anyone connected to me outside of it.”

“When someone reaches my level, who wouldn’t have sin on their hands? Although you are now merely at immortal foundation, you must have taken many lives before as well, right? As long as I don’t annihilate an entire world, it wouldn’t be considered a great sin. How can there be retribution by karma? From the perspective of all the realms, what would an entire city’s worth of lives count for?” That immortal king stomped down once more, causing Driftsnow City to continue sinking. He then asked again, “Still not coming out?”

“You want me to give up the lives of my close friends and comrades as well as myself for the people of Sky Harmony City? Isn’t that ridiculous?” Qin Wentian scoffed. “Is there anyone in this world capable of such self-sacrifice? If you do that, you are merely slaughtering innocent people.”

Qin Wentian’s heart turned incomparably frosty. He didn’t think that an immortal king would actually force him to make such a choice. For now, he could only act as though he wasn’t completely bothered by it. But he was right in what he said—there was no reason for the immortal king to slaughter the innocents of Sky Harmony City, and no one in the world would be so magnamious that they’d sacrifice themselves and the lives of their close friends and comrades for strangers.

“Hmph.” The immortal king seemed to have seen right through him. He stretched his arm and grabbed out with his hand. Instantly, more than ten people were caught in his large palm and hoisted up into the air. These people felt their souls trembling in terror as they screamed. “SAVE ME!”

“The people of this mere Sky Harmony City are nothing but ants to me—I can crush their lives as long as I will it. Are you really not coming out?” The immortal king stared at Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian’s expression didn’t change, and he steeled his heart. The more he showed his concerned, the more people this immortal king would slaughter.

“DIE THEN!” The immortal king closed his fist, instantly killing everyone grasped in his palm. The bodies fell from the air, and the spectators from Sky Harmony City all trembled in fear. They had forgotten all their rage and anger; to this immortal king, they were really nothing but ants. He could kill them effortlessly as long as he willed it.

Qin Wentian watched in person as these people were crushed to death. Although he felt a towering rage, his expression was as calm as a lake. He couldn’t show that he cared. If not, the other party would kill even more to force his compliance.

“Is there even any meaning to killing these innocents? I really do feel ashamed for you,” Qin Wentian mocked.

That immortal king stared at Qin Wentian, and his emotionless gaze revealed how lightly he treated the death of these mortals. His hand then stretched out in another direction as another group of people were crushed within—all were completely slaughtered.

“Do you truly not care about the life and death of these people?” asked the immortal king.

“Are you the foolish one or am I the foolish one? Why would I sacrifice myself for people who have nothing to do with me?” Qin Wentian replied.

“Hehe, there’s actually someone who has yet to flee. From her expression, it seems that this person is truly worried about you.” The immortal king smiled. Qin Wentian furrowed his brows and after that, the immortal king grabbed out again, capturing a figure who exuded a celestial air. This person was exceedingly beautiful. In that moment, her veil was pulled away by the immortal king, revealing a face with flawless features, yet her apparent fear caused her to lose some of her splendor.

“Lin Xian`er.” Qin Wentian’s expression sank. Why was Lin Xian`er here?

“So beautiful. Even for female immortals in the immortal realms, such beauty is truly rare. Don’t tell me you are not acquainted with her?” The immortal king coldly laughed. How strong was his immortal sense? Earlier, he had already tracked all the movements of the people in Sky Harmony City as well as the changes to their expressions. Lin Xian`er didn’t feel much fear—what she actually felt was worry and nervousness.

Qin Wentian’s heart turned cold. Immortal kings were powerful indeed. So he had a purpose. Earlier when he attacked, he was studying the crowd with his immortal sense, intending to find someone Qin Wentian was acquainted with.

“Indeed, I do know this woman. She’s quite famous and is a rare beauty,” Qin Wentian replied. “However, look at the number of beauties in my city. In this particle world, there are naturally countless beauties who admire I, Qin. Isn’t it only normal that she felt worried and nervous when she saw you attacking me? What’s so strange about that?”

“Wow, it sounds like you are really lucky with the females.” That immortal king coldly smiled. With a wave of his hand, Lin Xian`er was tossed to the immortal foundation experts behind him. He then spoke, “To think such a beautiful woman exists in this country-bumpkin world. You guys can do whatever you want to her, so make sure to fully enjoy yourselves.”

“Senior, I’m really not familiar with him. You are a high-ranking, esteemed being in the vast immortal realms, so why must you make things difficult for me…?” Lin Xian`er implored with a hint of fragility.

“Even her voice and expression can move one’s soul. You guys are truly in luck,” the immortal king stated emotionlessly. The people in the particle worlds were like weeds to him, and unworthy of mention. He naturally cared nothing for Lin Xian`er.

“Thank you, immortal king.” The immortal foundation experts all bowed. They grabbed Lin Xian`er and left immediately. When Qin Wentian stared in their direction, he saw Lin Xian`er looking right at him. There was a trace of despair within her beautiful eyes.

“You can come out if you’ve thought things through.” The immortal king laughed. He stomped down again before disappearing completely. Qin Wentian clenched his fists tightly, he had no way to forget the look Lin Xian`er had cast towards him.

Those in Driftsnow City all came over, their faces pale from their injuries. They stared at Qin Wentian and said, “Wentian, you must leave this place. Just go back to the immortal realms.”

“I definitely have to take revenge.” Qin Wentian’s eyes were ice-cold. He had a debt of gratitude to Lin Xian`er. During the tempering session in the Immortal Martial Realm, Lin Xian`er had helped Ye Lingshuang and Ouyang Kuangsheng once before.

“Lin Xian`er…” Ouyang Kuangsheng wanted to say something, but hesitated—he was also feeling a towering rage in his heart. “Who would have imagined an immortal king would be so despicable?”

“He has completely no regards for anyone in this world,” Fairy Qingmei said icily. “Wentian, you really have to leave this place.”

“It’s fine. They have arrived.” Qin Wentian’s voice was as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice. Everyone turned their gazes over to him, not knowing what he meant by that. To them, the only safe solution was to leave this world. They could see no other choice.

“Qingcheng, go persuade Wentian,” said Fairy Qingmei as she stared at Mo Qingcheng. However, the killing intent emanating from Qin Wentian was now overwhelming to the extreme. He turned his head up and stared at the sky, watching the figures of numerous experts descend from the air.

Chapter 1028: Surround and Kill

 

Qin Wentian stared at the figures descending from the air, his eyes gleaming with sharpness. They were finally here.

In Sky Harmony City, countless people inclined their heads, staring at those figures who just appeared. Even before they could recover from their shock, more immortals had arrived. Who were these people?

Could they be from the Star River Association again?

If that were the case, then everything was over. Qin Wentian no longer had hope.

But, what did Qin Wentian mean by his earlier words, ‘They’ve arrived’?

Could it be that these people weren’t experts from the Star River Association? Qin Wentian seemed to be anticipating their arrival.

Who were they exactly?

—BOOM BOOM BOOM!— Immortal light flashed through the skies as the group landed in a straight line outside the grand ancient bell. The eyes of the man in the lead were extremely terrifying, and possessed an immense imposingness. The inhabitants of Driftsnow City felt their hearts shuddering when they matched his gaze, in spite of the city’s protection.

“It’s over, Qin Wentian will be thoroughly defeated.” The people of Sky Harmony City felt their hearts trembling. This group of experts exceeded the previous number of people from the Star River Association. Could the Star River Association have sent a second batch of experts here to deal with Qin Wentian?

If that was the case, Qin Wentian was finished. There was no more hope and his death was imminent.

Would a legendary character meet his end here today?

But at this moment, the light radiating from the grand bell suddenly vanished. The grand bell split back into the Nine Immortality Bells, no longer shrouding the city as they returned to their original location. Driftsnow City appeared once again. Upon seeing this scene, everyone’s hearts pounded rapidly. What was going on? Had Qin Wentian gone mad?

Had he given in to despair because he knew they no longer had a chance at surviving? Was he surrendering?

The figures descending from the air stared at Qin Wentian. He floated up, casting his gaze at them as his eyes glimmered with sharpness.

“Young Lord Qin.” Several immortal foundation experts bowed to Qin Wentian. Their voices blasted out together with their almighty auras, containing a heaven-shaking might.

When the immortal foundation experts spoke, their voices congregated into a wave of power that swept over everything. The power was so strong that it caused those who heard it to tremble.

In the ancient Driftsnow City, Qin Wentian’s close friends and comrades watched this scene in a daze. The figures descending from the heavens were clearly experts from the immortal realms. Yet upon their arrival, they all bowed to Qin Wentian, each of them exuding respect and even greeting him as Young Lord Qin?

Was this really the same Qin Wentian they were acquainted with?

Was this really the same Qin Wentian whom they watched mature—the same Qin Wentian who had grown up together with them?

Their hearts were rocked by huge waves, and they felt a sense of surrealism. It was fine if Qin Wentian broke through to immortal foundation. But now there was actually a group of immortals from the immortal realms bowing in respect to him.

The people of Sky Harmony City were all stunned as well, staring at the numerous immortals.

“Is this real?

“Did my eyes see wrongly?”

“Oh God, all these people are immortals! Qin Wentian from Sky Harmony City… what sort of accomplishments in the immortal realms did he have exactly?”

All their hearts pounded madly as they rubbed their eyes and blinked in disbelief, as though they wanted to ensure that they weren’t mistaken in what they were seeing.

“Qin Wentian, can you quickly go and save Xian`er?” A voice drifted over. The speaker was someone from the Celestial Maiden Sect.

“Qin Wentian, Lin Xian`er has secretly always been in love with you. Your acquaintance with her must count for something. Please, can’t you save her?” another person implored.

“Don’t worry, the Star River Association shall pay for their actions.” Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with coldness. The immortal king leading these immortal foundation experts turned to Qin Wentian as he spoke, “Young Lord Qin, please command us.”

“Right. Get some men to guard this place. The others shall head to the Star River Association’s headquarters to ensure they bring no harm to the female they just kidnapped. That female is a friend of mine. All of you will move out instantly and await my orders,” Qin Wentian commanded.

“We hear and obey, Lord Qin.” The immortals bowed. One of the immortal kings radiated a fearsome might and an overwhelming wave of power instantly wrapped around those immortal foundation experts. In the next moment, their entire group vanished on the spot.

“I plan to activate the protection of the bell once more, to prevent any unexpected accidents. You guys head back to Driftsnow City first.” Qin Wentian stared at Mo Qingcheng and the rest as he spoke. He’d waited for these people to show up before he could come out from the bell. After all, the opponent was an immortal king. If he was the slightest bit careless, everyone might have already been captured or slaughtered. At that time, no matter the strength of his reinforcements from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, it would’ve all been useless.

“Okay, we understand.” Everyone nodded, they knew this was the best solution.

Qin Wentian’s immortal sense connected to the nine bells, coming into contact with the soul of the ancient city that resided within them. With a bright light, the ancient city was enveloped once more, shrouded by a gigantic grand bell.

“Let’s move out,” Qin Wentian said to the immortal king in the lead.

“Roger.” That immortal king nodded. He unleashed his might, and an instant later, he and Qin Wentian vanished from that location as well.

“KILL, KILL EVERYONE FROM THE STAR RIVER ASSOCIATION!”

The people of Sky Harmony City had expressions of agitation on their faces. The Star River Association had treated them like ants, killing them as they liked. They truly hoped Qin Wentian would be able to massacre the whole lot of them.

“Sadly, we have no way to watch that battle. I really wanted to see how that immortal king would’ve died in the end. Given that everybody had addressed him as a young lord, Qin Wentian must have surely become the young master of some supreme power in the immortal realms. He can definitely slay that immortal king.”

Many in Sky Harmony City were agitated, and they hated the fact that they wouldn’t be able to witness this next battle.

“Qin Wentian isn’t exactly a kind soul either. Earlier, he watched them drag Lin Xian`er away and refused to help,” somebody raged.

“Are you so noble? Qin Wentian is also a human. All his friends and family are in Driftsnow City. If he were to come out, he wouldn’t be bringing about his own death. All his friends and family would have been buried together with him as well. If you were in his shoes, would you have done so?” somebody scolded. “As for not showing the slightest concern, it’s clear that he did so with us in mind. If he showed that he cared, would that immortal king have spared us? He would have slaughtered us to force Qin Wentian to come out.”

That person froze and then nodded, “You’re right. Sigh, we can only blame the Star River Association for being despicable. I hope he can slaughter them all.”

For the women of the Celestial Maiden Sect, all of them had expressions of nervousness on their faces. One of them asked, “Nothing will happen to Xian`er. right?”

“I think so. Qin Wentian and Xian`er are friends. Just now, he was helpless to rescue her. But now, with so many experts, there’s no doubt that Xian`er will be saved,” commented someone at the side with seriousness. In truth, that person who’d commented was exceedingly nervous as well. They could only wait and see.

Right now, in the air space above the headquarters of the Star River Association, several experts of the Star River Association were all around Lin Xian`er, glancing with hostility at the numerous immortals who had suddenly appeared in their territory. A terrifying might flowed downwards from above, blocking off their path of retreat.

Initially, Lin Xian`er was in a state of despair after her capture. But when she saw the sudden appearance of a group of experts surrounding the Star River Association, hope reignited in her heart. However, she didn’t understand what exactly was going on.

~bzz~ A beam of light shot over as two figures materialized. One was a middle-aged man exuding a terrifying imposingness, and the other was none other than Qin Wentian.

Lin Xian`er’s eyes flashed with a strange light. It was Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian had actually come.

Down below, the experts from the Star River Association felt their hearts turn cold when they saw the number of immortals in the air. From afar, the spectators from the Royal Sacred Region also felt their bodies trembling as they watched this scene. What was going on?

That young man was Qin Wentian?

“Get these immortals to leave. If not, I shall take her life right now.” The immortal king of the Star River Association threatened icily as he pointed at Lin Xian`er. He understood that the current circumstances were extremely disadvatageous for his side.

“Hear my command. For those belonging to the Star River Association, kill them all without mercy!” Qin Wentian roared.

“WE HEAR AND OBEY!” The immortals from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect rushed downwards. In an instant, numerous waves of destructive might slammed against the headquarters of the Star River Association, causing screams of misery to ring out, one after another. One of the immortal-foundation experts screamed in terror, “IMMORTAL KING, SAVE US!”

However, that immortal king simply stood unmoving. Qin Wentian also hadn’t glanced at what was happening below. His face was ice-cold. This immortal king wanted to threaten him by using the lives of the people in Sky Harmony City? In that case, this was payback. He would kill everyone belonging to the Star River Association—he would show no mercy.

“It’s over. The Star River Association is over.” The souls of the distant spectators were shuddering. They still didn’t know what was happening. Who were these experts?

What status did Qin Wentian have exactly? He could actually command so many immortals to kill the experts of the Star River Association.

“Do you truly not care whether she lives or dies?” That immortal king pointed to Lin Xian`er as he spoke.

“You are right, I’m indeed acquainted with her. But as a high-ranked and supreme immortal king, you would actually use an innocent woman to threaten me? Very well. Listen closely, all of you. Unless you have no family, then as long as a single strand of hair is missing from Lin Xian`er, I swear that I will investigate and hunt down every single person connected to you all. Don’t doubt me on this.” Qin Wentian’s ice-cold gaze swept over to the immortal foundation experts before finally landing on the immortal king. “That includes you.”

“Release her,” Qin Wentian then icily continued.

“Do you think that’s possible?” The immortal king was emotionless.

“Then, let me be the hostage instead,” said Qin Wentian, causing everyone’s expressions to stiffen. Even Lin Xian`er’s expression froze, and she stared at Qin Wentian in a daze. He, was actually willing to become the hostage in exchange for her?

Chapter 1029: Immortal Sense of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord

 

The immortal king of the Star River Association laughed when he heard his proposal. Qin Wentian wanted to trade himself for Lin Xian`er’s safety?

Naturally, this wouldn’t be a problem. Lin Xian`er was nothing to him, merely a human of a particle world. As long as he could capture Qin Wentian, they could easily solve all the troubles that the association faced.

“Alright, I agree to the exchange. Come over here, and I will immediately release her,” said the immortal king from the Star River Association as he stared at Qin Wentian.

“Young Lord Qin, you mustn’t do this.” The experts from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect all frowned. Given Qin Wentian’s status, it was truly not worth it to use his life in exchange for the safety of someone from a particle world. The Star River Association’s original purpose was to capture Qin Wentian, and they had even sent out immortal kings to do so. They hadn’t expected Qin Wentian to have something like the ancient Driftsnow City, which could defend against the immortal king’s attacks. If not, Qin Wentian would have long been captured and the immortal king would have long since left this particle world.

Right now, Qin Wentian wanted to throw himself into the net. This was an extremely dangerous thing to do.

After capturing Qin Wentian, the immortal king would immediately leave this world and head to the immortal realms. At that time, it wouldn’t be easy for the others to rescue Qin Wentian.

“Listen to my orders,” Qin Wentian commanded. The immortal kings from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect fell silent. Lin Xian`er’s beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian, and a smile appeared on her face as she said, “Sir Qin, Xian`er’s life isn’t as valuable as yours. There’s no need to care for Xian`er. If fortune does not permit Xian`er to live, then just avenge me if you are able to do so.”

“Be quiet!” snarled the immortal foundation expert holding her. Making a slicing motion with his hand, he tore off a sleeve, revealing her smooth white arm. Lin Xian`er froze as her expression changed.

“I won’t kill you, but I can leave you absolutely naked. Do you think I won’t?” threatened the immortal foundation expert. Qin Wentian stared at him, “Trust me, you’re already dead.”

The immortal foundation expert stared at Qin Wentian as he said coldly, “It looks like you’re quite concerned about her. In that case, I’d really like to see how you’d kill me.”

He radiated an immortal might that enveloped Lin Xian`er. He could take her life away as long as he willed it. Even though there were immortal kings nearby, it wouldn’t be so easy to save her unless they launched an ambush to kill him before he could react.

“So do you still want to exchange yourself for her or not?” continued the immortal king from the Star River Association.

“Sure. But once I walk over, she has to be released as well.” Qin Wentian’s face was expressionless.

“No. To immortal kings, the distance they can travel with a step is simply overwhelming. What if they whisk you both away together? If you wish for a sincere exchange, you must come here first. Only then will I guarantee to release her.” That immortal king was extremely crafty. Immortal king characters were just too powerful; if Qin Wentian and Lin Xian`er walked to the center and the immortal kings on their side acted, no one would be able to stop them.

“You are using the life of an innocent to threaten me. This clearly shows that you are a despicable man. Do you think your words are trustworthy?” Qin Wentian asked as he stared at his opponent.

“It’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not. She’s useless to me. After capturing you, why would I still need her?” The Star River Association’s immortal king maintained his calm demeanor.

“Alright, let’s make the exchange.” Qin Wentian stepped out, moving towards Lin Xian`er and the immortal foundation expert who guarded her.

“Come over here,” said the immortal king from the Star River Association. Qin Wentian’s strength was quite high, so he couldn’t relax at seeing Qin Wentian walk towards the immortal foundation expert.

“Okay.” Qin Wentian shifted direction, moving towards the immortal king. In this instant, the atmosphere grew extremely tense with both sides caught in a mutual state of hostility. It felt like a battle could break out at any moment.

During such a tense time, everything could erupt the moment someone made a move.

Lin Xian`er’s beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian, feeling moved in her heart. Although she and Qin Wentian were friends, that was from a period of time of more than two decades ago. Too many years had passed, and their friendship wasn’t so deep that it could easily stand the test of time.. This was especially so when considering Qin Wentian’s status after his return from the immortal realms. He was someone who could effortlessly slay immortal foundation experts—someone with an existence stronger than even the Sacred Emperor all those years ago.

And not too long ago, he used the ancient city to slay over ten immortal foundation experts belonging to the Star River Association.

Now, several immortal kings and numerous immortal foundation experts from the immortal realms had been sent there, with all of them awaiting his command and addressing him as Young Lord Qin. What status and identity did he have? Yet, he was willing to put himself in danger by participating in this hostage exchange.

“Sir Qin, why are you treating Xian`er so nicely?” Lin Xian`er’s voice was gentle and soft, and she sighed in her heart. She had once fantasized marrying a peak supreme genius that exuded magnificence throughout the generations in this particle world. For example, the eight era-suppressing geniuses of yesteryear. But now, the time of the era-suppressing geniuses had long since passed. Qin Wentian alone was more outstanding compared to all of them and such a character was actually willing to go through with this for her safety.

“Xian`er, you once helped me before. In addition, are we not friends? How can I possibly watch you suffer without stepping in?” Qin Wentian replied. When he was halfway there, he suddenly stopped. “I’m already at the halfway mark, so isn’t it about time to release her?”

In that moment, numerous streams of immortal might enveloped Qin Wentian. The immortal kings from the Star River Association and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect were all ready to act at any given moment.

And so, only Qin Wentian could move. If either side were to act, a battle would erupt instantly.

The immortal foundation expert holding onto Lin Xian`er turned and glanced at his immortal king. The other party cast a glance at him as he nodded and released Lin Xian`er.

Qin Wentian continued moving forward, but now, he shifted his direction once again to walk closer to Lin Xian`er.

“What are you trying to do?” barked the immortal king from the Star River Association.

“Since we are doing this exchange, I have to see that she’s alright.” Qin Wentian glanced at the immortal king as he continued on his way, moving towards the immortal foundation expert holding Lin Xian`er.

The immortal foundation expert furrowed his brows tightly, while the immortal king snorted coldly, stepping out towards Qin Wentian. In that moment, everyone had fixed their attention on Qin Wentian.

“Release her!” Qin Wentian suddenly roared as his immortal foundation radiated immortal might. The immortal foundation expert similarly responded in kind.

“Courting death.” The immortal king appeared behind Qin Wentian and pierced out directly with a finger attack as he aimed for Qin Wentian’s body. Its destructive energy rushed into Qin Wentian to destroy his immortal foundation.

“HOW DARE YOU?!”

Roars of anger erupted at the same moment as immortal light illuminated everything. A fearsome defensive energy gushed forth from Qin Wentian as a silhouette manifested. A superior, overwhelming might swept over everything in the heavens and earth, terrifying to the extreme.

“Immortal sense.” The expression of that immortal king from the Star River Association drastically changed, his heart sinking from the realization that he’d been tricked. Qin Wentian had intentionally baited him into attacking, and now, he only had time to shout out a warning to his subordinate, “CAREFUL!”

He tried to warn the immortal foundation expert holding onto Lin Xian`er. Right now, everyone’s attention was on Qin Wentian as they stared at the silhouette projected by his protective strand of immortal sense. In an instant, a black ray of light shot forth, drilling into the head of the immortal holding on to Lin Xian`er. It destroyed his mind before he even had a chance to react. The moment he died, an immortal king from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect whisked Lin Xian`er away to safety.

Another immortal king hurried before Qin Wentian, enveloping him with his immortal might and brought him away to safety as well. Right now, Lin Xian`er was still in a daze—everything had happened too fast. When immortal kings acted, their movements were too quick for her to see clearly and everything had happened within an instant. Qin Wentian pulled her back while an expert stood in front of them and acted as a guard.

“Xian`er, everything is fine now.” Qin Wentian smiled at Lin Xian`er who was still feeling dazed. Lin Xian`er’s beautiful eyes flickered as she gradually snapped out of her befuddlement. She had always been very strong, but until this moment, she had never realized how fragile and weak she really was. Her fate wasn’t in her hands and she had been helpless to do anything when she was kidnapped. She had only felt protected through Qin Wentian’s actions.

In the battlefield, the immortal king from the Star River Association was now completely surrounded. His eyes stared at the projected immortal sense before him. His earlier attack had been enough to slaughter Qin Wentian, which had activated his protective strand of immortal sense, and thus saving his life.

“Is that Senior Thousand Transformations?” asked the immortal king.

“Since you know who I am, do you still dare to attempt and kill Qin Wentian? It looks like you lot have intended this from the beginning.” The countenance of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord was extremely cold.

“Junior is only obeying orders. I hope Emperor Lord can show mercy to me,” begged the immortal king.

“Qin Wentian, you decide.” The projection of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord’s immortal sense stared at Qin Wentian. And when his gaze landed on Lin Xian`er, who stood beside Qin Wentian, she felt a hint of nervousness.

This Emperor Lord was a character that immortal kings were respectful to. What level of existence was he? She couldn’t imagine it.

“Kill him.” Qin Wentian’s voice was ice-cold. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord nodded, “Do as Wentian commands.”

“Roger.” His subordinates obeyed, and a wall of immortal light instantly manifested, locking the space away completely. The battle prowess of immortal kings was too terrifying. They could destroy this entire world if they chose to fight. Hence, they had to limit the boundaries of the battlefield.

“You actually wasted the protective immortal sense of an Emperor Lord for a mere female from a particle world? That’s the equivalent to your own life!” the immortal king roared in anger as he stared at Qin Wentian. In that moment, a terrifying tempest swept through the space, uprooting the entire Star River Association. This tempest seemed to herald the end of the world. From afar, the spectators stared in mind-numbing shock as they watched on with trembling hearts.

—BOOM!— The tempest wrenched everything off the ground, and in the next moment, numerous beams of light shot towards the immortal king from the Star River Association, destroying him completely. The people of the Royal Sacred City were all witnessing a battle on the immortal level.

“The immortal sense of an Emperor Lord is equivalent to one life…” Lin Xian`er mumbled as she stood beside Qin Wentian. She glanced at Qin Wentian, whose features looked more outstanding than ever before. A moment later, a radiant smile appeared on her face, making her so beautiful that almost every man would be besotted if they saw her.

With this experience, it could be said that Lin Xian`er’s life hadn’t been a waste. There was actually someone who would stand against the powers from immortal realms for her, someone who would sacrifice something equivalent to a life. In this entire particle world, what woman wouldn’t enjoy such preferential treatment?

Chapter 1030: Manipulator Behind the Scenes

 

The tempest had lasted only a short while, but it generated enough shockwaves to make everyone in the Royal Sacred City flee in terror.

As for the experts from the Star River Association, they had already been surrounded and killed. After all, the disparity in strength between both sides was just too great.

“Have all those experts died?” The spectators felt their hearts trembling. Those who died were immortals and one among them was a supreme and high-ranked immortal king. Yet, they had actually died here in this particle world.

The Star River Association had been eradicated.

Everyone stared at Qin Wentian who stood in the air. They never expected that a commotion of such magnitude would actually occur in a particle world because of Qin Wentian.

The immortal sense of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord had yet to vanish. He appeared before Qin Wentian and said, “This matter won’t end so simply, so it’s best that you leave this particle world immediately.”

“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded. Just earlier, the Star River Association had sent an immortal king to kill him. Qin Wentian could sense that this incident wasn’t at all simple. Although the Star River Association hated him, their grudge wasn’t deep enough for them to pay such a price. Although he had eradicated the Star River Association here in the past, it was just within the scope of a particle world—to the Star River Association, this wouldn’t count as significant. The Star River Association’s tendrils stretched across numerous particle worlds, and was most assuredly a large power in the immortal realms.

In the past, this particle world didn’t even have an immortal foundation expert from the Star River Association. Now, so many immortals had suddenly appeared, even an immortal king. How could this matter be as simple as reoccupying a particle world?

“Xian`er, follow me to the immortal realms. I can’t guarantee that the association won’t deal with you after we leave,” Qin Wentian said to Lin Xian`er who stood beside him.

“Okay, I will listen to you.” Lin Xian`er nodded her head lightly. She had always wanted to go to the immortal realms, and now that Qin Wentian was willing to bring her there, she naturally wouldn’t reject the opportunity.

“Let’s go.” The group of experts soared into the air, but just as they were about to leave, a mighty pressure bore down from above. A group of people appeared to block their path.

These people all wore expressions that radiated hostility, and their auras were tyrannical to the extreme. Apparently, they had been a step too late—an allied immortal king had actually fallen in this world.

The two parties were still far away from each other, but their auras had already clashed as they stared at each other from the distance.

“Has the Star River Association and the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect joined forces?”

“Senior Emperor Lord is too serious. The Star River Association wanted to take over this world, whereas we from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect are here to capture Qin Wentian. This man has killed many of our sect members and we have orders to bring him back,” replied an immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.

“It looks like the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect keeps looking for an opportunity to start a war with my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Is this the excuse you were waiting for?” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed coldly. Previously, he’d taken away six of the thirteen prefectures from the control of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. How could the Eastern Sage swallow this defeat so easily? Both their forces had experienced endless minor conflicts, but a full-blown, all-out war? Apparently, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had run out of patience.

“Senior, don’t forget the agreement. If we start a war, immortal emperors cannot participate in it,” continued the immortal king of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.

“No matter what, the Cloud Prefecture is now under my control. Shouldn’t the particle worlds near it also be under the governance of my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect? You guys chose to start a war here, so it seems like you’re all very confident,” the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord said coldly. In the air, numerous figures walked out from the void, exuding fearsome might. They were all immortal kings.

“Emperor Lord has truly made thorough preparations for a mere particle world,” The immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect coldly surveyed his contemporaries, silently gauging their strength.

“Are you guys not the same as well? Preparing so many experts just to capture Qin Wentian? If I’m not wrong, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect must have already stationed many immortal kings around this particle world, all preparing to fight against my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, right?” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke calmly, his words causing Qin Wentian’s heart to tremble. He didn’t expect that a war would erupt between two supreme powers of the immortal realms because of him.

“Thousand Transformations, you are really intelligent indeed.” At this moment, a gigantic image appeared in the air. Everyone in the particle world could see who it was.

“Eastern Sage.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord nodded. This was a projection of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.

“Thousand Transformations, since you want six of my prefectures, you’d best be prepared for a war. I’d like to see whether you, Thousand Transformations, have the capability to govern my territories.” The voice of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor boomed out. After which, he turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian—the eyes of that illusory projection gleamed with a cold killing intent.

“Qin Wentian.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was an immortal emperor character. To him, this entire world was nothing but a speck of dirt. However, Qin Wentian, an immortal foundation character, had succeeded in igniting his killing intent numerous times, publicly smacking his face more than once in the past.

“It can be considered quite coincidental that you chose this time to return to your particle world. In that case, let us settle everything here. Listen up, there’s no longer a need to capture Qin Wentian—just kill him directly!” commanded the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.

“Roger!” replied the experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.

The people of the particle world inclined their heads, staring at the projection of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor in the air. This was the same immortal emperor that had once appeared here all those years ago. He had wanted to accept a disciple from their world, but in the end, had rejected Qin Wentian. Now, he had appeared here once again to kill Qin Wentian. But now it seemed that Qin Wentian had already joined a major power in the immortal realms, and in addition, that major power was one that was in direct conflict with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.

Boundless light flashed in the sky as numerous experts descended. Their bodies were incomparably huge, roughly around the size between 10,000 to 100,000 meters, their gargantuan forms standing in the sky of this particle world.

These experts were all immortal king existences, and the vast majority of them were from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. The Star River Association seemed to have retreated into the shadows, allowing the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect to be the main players for the upcoming battle.

“This…” The people of the particle world stared at the lofty supreme immortal kings in the air as they felt a sense of doom over their heads. This was too terrifying—these people were so large that it felt the entire world was being enveloped.

Immortal kings could expand their sizes at will. They didn’t need any unique immortal arts and could enlarge themselves with just their wills alone.

In the air, numerous beams of light flashed, congregating into a fearsome spatial tempest that rent space apart where even more experts walked out from within. These figures also expanded in size as they walked towards those from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, standing in opposition to the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.

“It’s crazy. If this war erupts, this entire world will surely be destroyed.” The spectators from the particle world went from their initial excitement to extreme terror. There were simply too many experts blotting out the sky. They were like divinities, causing the people of the particle world to feel how inconsequential they were. In front of these immortals, they truly were nothing but insects.

Right now, they could clearly sense the disaster about to occur. This war between the two sides would definitely destroy the particle world.

“Eastern Sage.” At this moment, Qin Wentian spoke as he stared past the air. Although his voice wasn’t loud, he believed that the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would be able to hear his words.

“There’s nothing much to say about the grudge between us. However, there is no need for a particle world to be destroyed because of our battle. Do you know how heavy the accumulated sin would be if you destroyed a particle world? How about we fight this battle in the starry space instead?” Qin Wentian stared at the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as he spoke.

Around the immortal realms, there were a countless number of particle worlds. Each world was filled with boundless lives, and the number of living things could reach billions.

In the immortal realms, it was considered a grave sin to destroy a particle world. For superstrong experts, they would all avoid this without question.

“The sins from this battle will not taint my karma. You are the one responsible for the destruction of this particle world,” the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor said coldly, his eyes devoid of emotion.

He was a lofty immortal emperor, and all things were like ants to him. A particle world was simply a world of country bumpkins—he had no regard for them at all. He wouldn’t participate personally in this battle, and so the sin would not taint him. And even if there was sin, he had already lived for so many years, and he had already became an immortal emperor. What did he have to fear?

Throughout the immortal realms, he could count the number of people who had the ability to move against him with his fingers/on one hand. How could he be bothered by total sin from destroying a particle world?

Qin Wentian felt his body turning cold. His gaze flashed with a boundless killing intent as he stared at the gigantic silhouette in the air. Was this a supreme and lofty immortal emperor of the immortal realms? He had no regard for the lives of the people in a particle world.

The inhabitants of this particle world all heard the voice of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. They inclined their heads and stared at his silhouette, all with similar feelings of frustration and rage. Although they couldn’t hear what Qin Wentian had said, they could guess from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s reply that Qin Wentian didn’t want a great war to unfold here in this particle world that could lead to its destruction. However, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had rejected his suggestion.

Oppressed. The entire world was being oppressed. In the next instant, everyone in this world felt their nerves stretched taut with tension. A war could erupt at any moment and if it did, the magnitude of the calamity would utterly destroy them all.

“Eastern Sage, if you still insist on bringing war to this entire world, then as long as I’m still alive, I, Qin Wentian will make sure to annihilate your entire clan.” Qin Wentian’s fists were clenched. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was filled with contempt for the lives in this particle world, treating them all like ants.

“KILL!” roared the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor when he heard Qin Wentian’s words, exuding an extremely terrifying killing intent!

Chapter 1031: Immortal War

 

“Eastern Sage!” Qin Wentian roared in anger. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor just gave the command, ignoring the lives of the countless people here in the particle world.

“BOOM!” A surge of destructive might enveloped this entire world. How powerful were immortal kings? They transformed into heavenly giants, standing in the air while radiating immense immortal might from their bodies. In an instant, every living being in this world was enveloped by that heavy pressure.

Right now, everyone in this world was trembling. The pressure was simply too fearsome. They could feel how tiny and inconsequential they are. Those giants in the sky seemed to be like true gods and devils.

Nobody bothered with Qin Wentian. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor already gave the command. The war instantly erupted.

These heavenly giants stepped out. A single step by them could already span a great distance. It was just too terrifying. Although their form has expanded, their speed wasn’t slowed. They could travel a vast distance with a single step and at this moment, an overwhelming surge of power instantly blasted towards Qin Wentian. The power was so strong that it could envelop this entire area and annihilate everything caught within it.

This blast of power moved with the speed of a shooting star despite its overwhelming might. Although Qin Wentian has broken through to immortal foundation, he still felt himself trembling in the face of such power.

An immortal king from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect stepped out. Fearsome immortal light radiated from him as an ancient astral tree appeared behind him. This ancient tree towered up into the sky, manifesting a countless number of vines shining with the resplendent runic light of law energy.

The blast of power was blocked by the vines of the astral tree. The vast portion of the destructive might was negated almost completely.

“How powerful.” Lin Xian`er, who stood beside Qin Wentian, felt her heart trembling. This was simply inconceivable. The experts were fighting at a level that was just too high for her to comprehend. And indeed, as one’s cultivation reaches a higher level, one’s strength would explosively increase. An example was that Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants attacks were so much stronger compared to Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns and Yuanfu Cultivators. When one was at the immortal king level, all cultivators who were below their level felt like ants to them. The explosiveness in terms of increase of power when one reached the immortal king level was simply too overwhelming.

An immortal king in the air blasted out with a punch, creating countless ancient characters around him. Each character contained boundless killing intent and an almighty destructive pressure. Another powerful immortal king stepped out to block his attack. Every palm strike he threw out generated three thousand streams of law energy, locking down the slaughter characters in the air. The clash of two of the immortal kings caused the entire space to tremble as spatial cracks appeared in the surroundings.

In a short instant, an all-out war erupted in this particle world. Although the immortal kings were fighting high up in the air, the boundaries their attacks could reach, covered the entire world. If both parties weren’t launching attacks of such power at each other and aimed at the core of the world instead, they could easily destroy a particle world.

At this moment, the entire Royal Sacred Region was shaking. Many people couldn’t steady themselves as beams of destructive light shot from the skies. The people below all frenziedly dodged, the aftershocks from the clashes of immortal kings weren’t something they could defend against.

Streams of energy blasted out in all directions, causing screams of fear and terror to fill the skies. People of the particle world could clearly sense death looming over them.

As the war continued, it was like apocalypse to the people of this world. The remnant energies from the impact created from clashing blows was enough to flatten mountains or open up fissures over 1,000 miles. The people whom the aftershocks came into contact with, all died without the slightest means to fight back.

When the strong fights, the weak suffers. This was how cruel the cultivation world could be. The people in this particle world might have been living peaceful lives before, but once such an immortal war broke out, no one would regard the lives of these innocents as important. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor precisely understood the consequences of his decision; yet he still chose to give the command, using this place as a battlefield.

“Emperor Lord, is there a method that we can use to shift this battle elsewhere?” Qin Wentian turned to the immortal sense projection of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord as he asked.

“Let’s wait. Eastern Sage would surely have a strategy to deal with my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Back in the past, you rejected him in the face and in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect I even took six prefectures from him. Although he seems calm on the surface, he definitely wouldn’t be so forgiving and must be planning to deal some mortal strikes to us. It’s just that I didn’t imagine he would choose the particle world of your hometown to fight this battle.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord slowly spoke as he continued, “Seems like Eastern Sage’s hatred for you should be very deep or he wouldn’t have remembered you so clearly. Well, from another perspective, being able to make an immortal emperor think so much of you, can also be considered a glorious matter. But I wonder if this would be a blessing or a calamity?”

“In the future, I shall make the purpose of my growth to annihilate the entire Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.” Qin Wentian spoke in an icy tone. During the battle, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect was actually still sending reinforcements on the level of immortal kings. How was this like a battle in a particle world? It basically resembled a grand war among two supreme powers in the immortal realms.

“Qin Wentian.” Just at this moment, a thunderous voice sounded out from the sky. Up in the air, two imposing figures could be seen. Qin Wentian was actually acquainted with these two.

One of them was none other than a great general under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, the Deepflame Immortal King. He was one of the trusted aides of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and an extremely powerful immortal king.

As for the other, it was also a powerful immortal king. He was none other than the master of the Scarce Moon Immortal Manor, the Scarce Moon Immortal King.

The Scarce Moon Immortal King was an elder of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s personal disciple Que Tianyi. But ultimately, Que Tianyi was killed by Qin Wentian.

The Scarce Moon Immortal King could be considered a powerful character of a certain region in the immortal realms. He established an immortal manor within the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s territory and naturally had the strength to back things up. Now, these two extremely fearsome immortal kings came to this particle world. From this, one could see how determined the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was. Most probably, his plan was to bury all the experts of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect alongside with this particle world.

If the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect won this battle, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would instantly launch an offensive against the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect in the immortal realms and take back the six prefectures. He wanted to see who exactly dared to eye his, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s, territory in the future.

“Even Deepflame and Scarce Moon are here. Eastern Sage, you have really mobilized so many top experts for this battle.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord stared at the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor who was in the air. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor governed the thirteen prefectures before and has many immortal kings under him. However, it was impossible for him to mobilize all his immortal kings for every battle and could only choose a select few to go on the expedition.

But for this battle, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor actually summoned so many of his immortal kings. From this, one could see his determination.

The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor glanced at the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. Right now, he actually felt unhappiness in his heart. He discovered that there were some immortal kings who were extremely strong in the Emperor Lord’s camp. This made him extremely surprised. Where did the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord recruit these experts?

The Scarce Moon Immortal King and the Deepflame Immortal King also expanded their forms. A pale cold moon appeared behind the Scarce Moon Immortal King, containing startling might. Under the light of that crescent moon, the ancient astral tree was suddenly covered with frost and appeared as though it was frozen solid.

The ancient tree gushed forth with an intense immortal might. Destructive rays of runic light shot out from each vine, resisting the frost energy of the Scarce Moon Immortal King. But at this moment, the Deepflame Immortal King stepped towards the ancient tree as a fiery ocean appeared behind him. The flames of the ocean coalesced into a figure that seemed to be the king of the abyss, seeping into the ancient tree and burning it from within.

The attacks of the Deepflame Immortal King and the Scarce Moon Immortal King. One was ice and one was fire. At this instant, that ancient tree was slowly destroyed. Although that immortal king struggled, his manifestation of the astral tree wasn’t able to block such a fearsome attack.

“Hmph.” The Deepflame Immortal King snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, countless balls of hellfire blasted downwards. The embers that fell down to the particle world instantly turned the ground they came into contact with into charred land devoid of any life. The flames of the Deepflame Immortal King were simply too terrifying, it was true immortal flames.

That immortal king who manifested the ancient tree screamed in agony. He dispersed the manifestation but the power of fire and ice continued ravaging him, attacking his immortal root. Staring at the situation of the entire battlefield, Qin Wentian sensed victory leaning towards the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. In fact, there were several immortals who were already heavily injured or dead.

For such a large-scale immortal war, even immortal kings could lose their lives here if they weren’t careful.

“Brat, your death date is here.” The Deepflame Immortal King coldly stared at Qin Wentian. Back then in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, Qin Wentian killed his disciple and shamed him, smacking his face heavily. He, the Deepflame Immortal King, was a lofty existence; yet he was shamed by an ascendant junior. Although the brat now has broken through to immortal foundation, this only made it that he wanted to kill Qin Wentian more. Qin Wentian’s cultivation speed was just too fast.

“Deepflame, your judgement has always been bad. Now that your disciple is dead, and Que Tianyi whom you favored also died to Qin Wentian. Has your shame became your rage now?” A voice rang out from the air. Two figures then appeared in front of Qin Wentian, one wearing white, and the other wearing black.

The person who spoke was the man clad in white. His countenance was handsome and his long hair fluttered in the wind.

The man clad in black’s countenance was cold like ice. His deep dark eyes contained the intent of death as a black sabre resembling the sabre of a death god could be seen behind his back.

“Bai Wuya!” The Deepflame Immortal King stared at that figure clad in white. He recalled that back when the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor came to this world to recruit a disciple, he was arguing with Bai Wuya then. He favored Que Tianyi, and Que Tianyi did become the personal disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor in the end; while he took Blackpeak as his disciple. But Bai Wuya favored Qin Wentian right from the start of the recruitment event.

Now…regardless of Que Tianyi or Blackpeak, both of them have already died to Qin Wentian.

Chapter 1032: Might of the White-Robed Immortal King

 

“Bai Wuya.” Standing in the air, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor spoke, his eyes gleaming with coldness. “My Eastern Sage Immortal Sect has never offended you, yet you actually chose to join the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect?”

Bai Wuya inclined his head, staring at the projection of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as he emotionlessly stated, “Senior Eastern Sage started a war in the particle world, causing extreme distress and utter misery to the people here. You, who cultivated to the peak of the immortal realms, are shamelessly going all out and creating sin by slaughtering innocents. Such behavior is truly disappointing.”

“You are so concerned with slaughtering the lives of people?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor asked coldly. “You, Bai Wuya, have cultivated to the immortal king level, so I’m sure the sin reaped from killing won’t be considered a small amount.”

“All my life, I, Bai Wuya, have only killed those who deserved to be killed,” Bai Wuya said calmly. Back then, he’d killed a son of an immortal emperor because he simply deserved to die. Bai Wuya made no distinction about a person’s status.

“Hmph.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor snorted coldly. He then turned to the black-robed man beside Bai Wuya, “Saberlord of Death, are you planning to go against me as well?”

The black-robed man was none other than Mu Yan’s master, he was also the person who’d helped Qin Wentian all those years ago. He was the same as Bai Wuya—a member of the Heavenly Talisman Realm. In terms of seniority, the Saberlord could be considered Qin Wentian’s senior. But of course, they naturally wouldn’t allow any of that to show in public. The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect became the perfect cover. Everyone else would assume they were all from that sect.

The Saberlord of Death didn’t reply to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. The place he stood at, was already an indication of which side he stood on. Why was there a need to waste words?

“Deepflame, your judgement is unsound and your strength is pitifully mediocre at best. Back then, did you not wish to fight against me? I shall give you the opportunity to do so today.” The White-Robed Immortal King Bai Wuya turned his gaze over, staring at Deepflame’s gigantic form in the air.

“I truly want to see how strong you are exactly.” A towering battle intent gushed forth from the Deepflame Immortal King, so powerful it could collapse the heavens.

“You can go and deal with the others. Just leave those two to me,” Bai Wuya said to the black-robed Saberlord of Death.

The Saberlord of Death nodded lightly as he replied, “Okay.”

The Saberlord himself was extremely famous too, but he knew how powerful Bai Wuya could be. Bai Wuya was definitely strong enough to stand against both the Deepflame Immortal King and the Scarce Moon Immortal King.

Even in the Heavenly Talisman Realm, Bai Wuya could also be considered as one of the most outstanding immortal kings there.

“Arrogant,” The Deepflame Immortal King said tyrannically, his voice thundering through the heavens and earth. Bai Wuya’s words were simply making light of them. He wanted to handle him and the Scarce Moon Immortal King by himself?

Both were extremely famous immortal kings within the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures. The Scarce Moon Immortal King was the master of the Scarce Moon Immortal Manor, and the Deepflame Immortal King was a war general under the command of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. Bai Wuya had been an insignificant being when the two of them became famous. Yet now, Bai Wuya had actually dared to be so arrogant in front of them.

—bzz!— As the sound of the Deepflame Immortal King’s voice faded, Bai Wuya vanished. A figure appeared in the air, shining with a resplendent runic light. The White-Robed Immortal King’s entire being emanated an illusory feeling. He retained his form’s size as he dashed over and launched an attack at the Deepflame Immortal King.

In front of the gigantic Deepflame Immortal King, Bai Wuya seemed extremely tiny in comparison.

The Deepflame Immortal King’s eyes flickered with the blazing light of hellfire. His palm smashed downwards and enveloped a large portion of space, infusing it with his domain that began raining down balls of fire. The cries of evil demons could be heard as the balls of fire destroyed everything.

Qin Wentian felt apprehensive for Bai Wuya when he saw how strong the Deepflame Immortal King’s attacks were. He could clearly sense the destructiveness, yet Bai Wuya actually went head-on and bore the full brunt of it.

At this moment, a piercingly intense ray of light opened up a path through that hellish domain. Bai Wuya stood on that ancient path and gracefully walked forward, continuing his way towards the Deepflame Immortal King.

The Deepflame Immortal King blasted out with his other palm, yet the instant he did so, Bai Wuya’s ancient path branched out in another direction and he deftly avoided it. Bai Wuya’s movements were like a fearsome bolt of lightning.

“An immortal-ranked movement technique.” Qin Wentian surmised from watching Bai Wuya’s graceful figure.

At this moment, he had clearly exposed the disadvantages of the Deepflame Immortal King’s gigantic form. With his current size, his speed might be considered fast, but his agility was much slower than Bai Wuya in his normal-sized form. Bai Wuya could easily avoid Deepflame’s attacks and even managed to launch a few attacks of his own when they exchanged blows. It forced the Deepflame Immortal King into a state of immobility.

The king of hell silhouette behind the Deepflame Immortal King launched out his own terrifying attacks together with him, but they were all useless. Bai Wuya was just too fast. His movement technique contained traces of the great dao and in just a few short moments, he’d managed to face the Deepflame Immortal King.

—BOOM!— The Deepflame Immortal King’s form returned to its normal size. His body was too large, allowing Bai Wuya to freely attack his entire form at such a short distance.

Naturally, when he returned to his original form, he instantly erupted forth with boundless destructive might that enveloped everything in his surroundings, forming a domain that belonged only to him. But at this moment, Bai Wuya’s figure moved like a phantom, manifesting several resplendent pathways within that domain. He walked easily and freely through the hellish domain without any injuries.

—RUMBLE!— A supreme might gushed forth from Bai Wuya. At the instant the Deepflame Immortal King returned to his original form, Bai Wuya suddenly expanded his size. His robes were made of special materials that could contract and expand together with him. His long white robes fluttered in the wind, constituting a sight of a supreme immortal king that exuded a sense of imposingness and an air of tyranny.

His eyes emitted a dazzling light and a boundless runic glow covered him. The instant he blinked, a terrifying runic light enveloped everything around him, including the body of the Deepflame Immortal King. This was an eye technique, and in that moment, the circulation of energy flowing through the Deepflame Immortal King—the blood in his body and the runes on his bones—were all made visible.

At this instant, the Deepflame Immortal King felt an extremely bizarre sensation. He was under the impression that Bai Wuya could see right through him. He had no way to hide from Bai Wuya’s gaze. In fact, just that gaze suppressed his body with a formless pressure so overwhelming it could take his life away.

—BOOM!— The White-Robed Immortal King appeared behind Bai Wuya. Another pair of eyes winked into existence. This was a law that belonged to him.

“DIE!” Bai Wuya shouted. An immortal illusory bridge appeared, linking Bai Wuya to the Deepflame Immortal King. Boundless runes of law energy flickered, seeping directly into the Deepflame Immortal King’s body through the power of his terrifying eyes. A moment later, the Deepflame Immortal King felt himself shuddering as from the internal destruction of his body..

He roared in rage and slammed out with his palms in an attempt to destroy Bai Wuya.

—RUMBLE!— The heavenly eyes behind Bai Wuya could penetrate everything and seemed to have the power to tear asunder everything in existence. He lifted his palm and stabbed out with a finger, instantly shooting a ray of law energy at the Deepflame Immortal King’s attack, cancelling out Deepflame’s destructive energy.

“Kacha…” A crisp sound rang out. The Deepflame Immortal King groaned miserably as his body convulsed. Their battle instantly attracted boundless attention from everyone in the particle world. The people sighed in admiration when they stared at the battle in the air. The white-robed figure was so powerful, suppressing the mighty Deepflame Immortal King with absolute strength.

But at this moment, the shadow of a crescent moon suddenly appeared above Bai Wuya, cascading a freezing cold energy that shrouded Bai Wuya within. Clearly, the Scarce Moon Immortal King had made his move. Right now, the Scarce Moon Immortal King could care less about face. He and the Deepflame Immortal King were joining forces to fight Bai Wuya, this immortal king of the junior generations.

“Scarce Moon, your strength is only at this level?” Bai Wuya turned to the Scarce Moon Immortal King. The light from his heavenly eyes enveloped him, making it so that he was completely unaffected by the energy. With no effort at all, he took a step and broke out of the cone of freezing energy, causing the Scarce Moon Immortal King’s expression to turn extremely ugly.

The Deepflame Immortal King retreated, yet Bai Wuya kept dogging his steps. He flashed his startling movement technique once more as Bai Wuya advanced towards him.

The Deepflame Immortal King was shaking violently. Roaring in anger, the entire space started shaking as his fists punched out in a frenzy to destroy Bai Wuya. The might he unleashed was simply too fearsome. The crowd felt like this entire sky was about to be swallowed whole by his abyssal energy.

“Open!” Bai Wuya’s heavenly eyes radiated boundless immortal light, becoming a law of its own. Bai Wuya’s gaze could split even heaven and earth apart. The entire hellish domain was broken through as an immortal path appeared. Bai Wuya advanced closer, forcing the Deepflame Immortal King into a corner. The Deepflame Immortal King’s countenance turned ashen; he was a war general under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, but Bai Wuya was suppressing him so badly it had become a one-sided battle.

“The juniors have exceeded the seniors.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord sighed. He was more than a little shocked by Bai Wuyi’s display of strength. And compared to Deepflame and Scarce Moon, Bai Wuya was of the junior generation. When the two of them had made their name, Bai Wuya probably had yet to be born. Yet today, Bai Wuya alone had suppressed the two of them so effortlessly.

Regardless of the time of cultivation, if one’s talent was strong enough and didn’t die prematurely, that person would be able to surpass all those who came before him.

The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s expression turned unsightly to behold. Although Bai Wuya’s reputation was great, he had never seen him in battle before. Now that he had witnessed his power firsthand, he understood that Bai Wuya’s reputation didn’t do him justice.

A terrifying energy ravaged the interior of the Deepflame Immortal King’s body and he gradually felt his own strength spiraling out of control.

“KILL!” A cold voice rang out. Bai Wuya’s eyes shone with a dazzling light and as a piercing sound rang out, the Deepflame Immortal King actually spat out a mouthful of blood, his countenance turning pale.

—BOOM!— Bai Wuya took another step forward, not giving the Deepflame Immortal King the chance to retaliate. The Deepflame Immortal King roared—his face was completely white, his expression extremely malevolent!
