Ancient Godly Monarch - Chapter 858

Chapter 858: Jun Mengchen’s Crisis

 

This series of battles were different from the one’s earlier. Before this, it was a chaotic battle where whoever could challenge whoever, with combatants from different levels of cultivation. However only for this period, every battle fought was within the fifth-level of Celestial Phenomenon.

Qin Wentian caused a tempest. After him, Su Feng also wanted to establish his might with domineering force and at the very end, a supreme female heaven chosen Zi Qingxuan appeared, defeating Su Feng. Within this cultivation level, only Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan won every single one of their fights, they had no losses.

Because both Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan didn’t clash with each other, their relationship should be very good, to the extent where even those immortal kings would comment about it. Who knows, maybe they might be a couple.

And after that battle with Su Feng, the name list of participants at the fifth-level of Celestial Phenomenon that made it into the top twenty was already mostly confirmed. There shouldn’t be any problem for Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan. Su Feng still might have a chance to be part of the top twenty – the prerequisite was that the participants of the other levels must not be as dazzling as him. Other than these three characters, there were no others at the fifth-level of Celestial Phenomenon who had the qualifications to be part of the top twenty.

The others were destined only to be ordinary core disciples, and they already lost the chance to compete for the status of a Sage Child. Also, for people who can’t even step into the top twenty rankings, how could those high up immortal kings spare a look at them?

If the supreme immortal kings of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect wanted to accept disciples, they would also select participants from within the top twenty.

After Zi Qingxuan’s battle ended, she returned back to her seat. The gazes of several people shot towards her, and upon seeing her sitting next to Qin Wentian, there were experts who involuntarily laughed. “Truly, they are very compatible.”

In fact, even the Idlecloud Immortal King turned and glanced at both Zi Qingxuan and Qin Wentian as a deep smile appeared on his face. “Both of you must last long together. Haha.”

Zi Qingxuan’s countenance instantly turned red. Even that icy aura from her disappeared. At this moment, she was simply stunning. Qin Wentian also had an awkward smile on his face. In truth, his interactions with Zi Qingxuan couldn’t be considered deep or a lot. He completely had no thoughts of matters of love with regards to her. He could only shake his head and sigh, seems like be it ordinary mortals or high up immortals, gossip would always be present.

“Don’t mind them.” Qin Wentian smiled at Zi Qingxuan upon seeing how embarrassed she was.

Zi Qingxuan inclined her head and glanced at Qin Wentian. Upon seeing his clear eyes and the smile on his handsome face, with sunlight all around him, Qin Wentian was truly an exceptional young man. However, he didn’t seem to have any of such thoughts.

“I won’t. They are only joking around.” Zi Qingxuan spoke in a low voice before shifting her eyes away.

“Haha, jokes can become reality too.” Jun Mengchen started laughing beside them. Qin Wentian turned over and harshly glared at this junior brother of his. Jun Mengchen made a cheeky face before obediently shutting up.

Next, the other experts from the various cultivation levels appeared on the battle platform. There were also plenty of dazzling characters who appeared. Nevertheless, Qin Wentian discovered that the higher one’s cultivation level is, the easier it would be able to have a dazzling performance, causing people to be impressed. This should be because of the deeper comprehension one had of their own constellations, as well as the amount of astral energy available to them.

For those who just stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, their foundations weren’t that solid yet and they would not have many innate techniques available to them. They also wouldn’t have enough power hence their impressiveness would surely be lower. Some could also be considered supreme level geniuses, though the distance between them and higher level cultivators was obvious.

This was cultivation, at the later part of one’s path, the amount of innate techniques and cultivation arts accumulated would become increasingly greater. One’s level of comprehension is different, hence the disparity between levels was evident as well. The tiers between geniuses could clearly be seen.

Hence not only for Qin Wentian, the other immortal kings were naturally also aware of this. Within the thirteen prefectures, for the top three rankers position, there was a high possibility that they would be fifth-level ascendants and above. It was said that on average there would be two participants from each cultivation level. However in truth, there would be more participants from higher levels of cultivation within the top twenty.

Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan had already defeated the top ranker of the Thunder Prefecture. Hence, there shouldn’t be any problems to be ranked within the top twenty.

“Senior brother, what rewards do you think there will be for the top three rankers?” At the immortal banquet, Jun Mengchen chatted with Qin Wentian.

“Not clear about that but at the very least, they should be above immortal-foundation ranked treasures. If not, it wouldn’t be able to showcase the impressiveness of obtaining the top three positions.” Qin Wentian smiled as he drank his wine.

“Mhm.” This banquet occurs only once every hundred years and even the nutritious effects of the food served here are comparable to immortal-ranked pills. I’m sure the rewards for the top three would surely cause people to be stunned with awe. Senior brother, we have to do our best to obtain those treasures. Also, senior sister Qingxuan, let’s try our hardest to walk all the way till the end!”

Jun Mengchen was very optimistic. Although he was incomparably ferocious during combat, his true personality was like that of a child when he interacted privately with Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan. Clean and innocent, not scheming at all.

“Haha you are so confident?” Qin Wentian couldn’t help but to smile when he saw how optimistic Jun Mengchen was.

“Naturally. Senior brother, at the very least as of now, there’s no one who can force me to unleash my complete strength. I’m sure this is the same for you guys as well. We will definitely become the top three rankers.” Jun Mengchen was filled with confidence but at this moment, a cold snort resounded out. “How brazen, you guys simply don’t know the immensity of the heavens and earth. People like you can become the top three? What about Gusu Tianqi, Feather King and Cang Ao? Which one of them have talents that would lose out to you all? You guys are all unable to compare to them just based on your puny cultivation levels.”

The person who spoke was none other than Zuyu of the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor. At the banquet, he was sitting together with Gu Zhantian.

“When we are speaking, who are you to interrupt? Shut the fuck up.” Jun Mengchen impolitely retorted.

“As the top ranker of our Cloud Prefecture, Gu Zhantian doesn’t even have half your arrogance. You guys must have gone empty-headed just by winning a few victories. How ridiculous.” Zuyu mocked as he continued, “Who knows, maybe at the end you might even die on the battle platform.”

Qin Wentian’s gaze turned over. His cold eyes swept over to Zuyu, with an expression as sharp as swords within. Jun Mengchen was his junior apprentice brother and they were just casually chatting, yet this Zuyu actually cursed him?

“I truly want to see how far can you go.” Qin Wentian coldly replied.

“I also want to see how far all of you can go.” Gu Zhantian interrupted. “Before this, I didn’t get the chance to kill you back in the Cloud Prefecture. What a pity. Now, since our cultivation levels are different, I have no way to challenge you at all. If not for this, I would surely look for you to clear our debts. Do you think you would even have the chance to act so brazenly here?”

“Since he won a few rounds, just let him be happy for a little while.” There was an immortal-foundation expert from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor who sarcastically added.

“You guys…” Jun Mengchen started raging as his aura gushed forth.

“Mengchen forget it. What’s the point of crossing verbal swords? They will see the ending for themselves.” Qin Wentian placated Jun Mengchen upon seeing his temper flaring up. Only then did Jun Mengchen snort coldly. After that, upon seeing there were no participants on top of the battle platform, Jun Mengchen’s silhouette flickered as he transformed into a beam of light, directly arriving at the top of the platform.

“Who wants to challenge me?” Jun Mengchen roared. The medallion on his robes showed that he was ranked #2 of the Cloud Prefecture, giving off a sense of threat.

Only to see a participant walking up. It was none other than the sixth ranker of the Underworld Prefecture. This participant exuded a terrifying icy feeling, he stared at Jun Mengchen and spoke, “Ranked #2 of the Cloud Prefecture, I wonder if your reputation is justified?”

“You will soon be able to tell that with your own eyes.” Jun Mengchen spoke as a towering battle might erupted forth from him, manifesting a countless number of tempests that gushed out. His entire body was cloaked in king armor, making it so that he resembled an absolute war king of the generations. There was also a fearsome phantom that appeared behind him. Jun Mengchen stepped out and with every step he took, the king aura radiating from him grew even stronger.

“BATTLE!” Jun Mengcheng roared. Instantly, the tempests from before intensified. The crowd only saw the entire space about to fall apart. With just a single roar, there seemed to be demonic beasts and war chariots ravaging through the skies. Millions of soldiers existed just to fight for him. Jun Mengchen was like the king of them all, able to summon an endless number of warriors.

“What sort of battle-type immortal art is this?” An immortal king asked in a low voice. He had never seen this type of immortal art or technique before.

“It’s like he is an innate war king, how extraordinary.” Some other expert replied. The immortals all became serious as they stared at Jun Mengcheng’s battle.

They only watched as Jun Mengchen continued roaring. His opponent was an extraordinary individual as well but he was suppressed completely by Jun Mengchen, trampled by the unending hordes under the war king control, blasting him off the platform.

Jun Mengchen, won a complete and convincing victory.

“WHO ELSE?” Jun Mengchen stood on the battle platform exuding an awe-inspiring aura. His eyes swept past those participants of the Cloud Prefecture, and there was a hint of being peeved flickering in his eyes. He wanted them to open their eyes wide and see how far the distance between them was. He, his senior brother Qin and senior sister Zi Qingxuan, even if they couldn’t enter the top three, being in the top ten was no problem for any of them. This was the lowest requirement they had for themselves.

“Jun Mengchen still wants to continue to battle?” Many people before him all fought a single battle before going down to rest, allowing a gap between their individual battles. But now, they were all roused with fighting spirit after seeing Jun Mengchen’s fight.

For the fourth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, several extraordinary geniuses stood atop the battle platform, their battle qi gushing forth intensely, fighting against Jun Mengchen one after another. However, under that imposing king aura, there were actually no fourth-level ascendants among the participants who could defeat Jun Mengchen.

There were only two words that are able to describe that elegant-looking Jun Mengchen when he is in combat – incomparably savage.

However right now at the immortal banquet, the Deepflame Immortal King cast a glance at a certain direction. Over there, there was an immortal king that seemed shrouded in darkness. His status and position was equal to the Deepflame Immortal King and there was a young man beside him who is now walking towards the platform at this moment.

Qin Wentian couldn’t help but furrow his brows when he noticed this scene. Was that young man a personal disciple of an immortal king? This person was extremely low-profile, walking over when Jun Mengchen was still in the midst of a battle. It was as though other than Qin Wentian, no one noticed his approach. Swiftly after Jun Mengchen defeated his current opponent, that young man appeared on the battle platform.

“This man is dangerous.” Qin Wentian turned his gaze to the platform as he silently mused. Jun Mengchen’s combat prowess was extraordinary, although this young man was a personal disciple of an immortal king, there still shouldn’t be any problems for Jun Mengchen to fight against him. In any case, Jun Mengchen also said that he hasn’t exerted his full strength yet.

However when the young man appeared on the platform, the various immortal kings around that black-robed immortal king shrouded in darkness couldn’t help but to cast a deep glance at him and the Deepflame Immortal King. They then narrowed their eyes and turned their attention back to Jun Mengchen. This little fellow actually had such terrible luck.

Jun Mengchen roared excitedly as his fists punched out with no mercy. However, a large amount of blood-energy directly swallowed the power of his attack.

Jun Mengchen’s countenance stiffened, knowing that he was facing off against an extraordinary genius. He stepped forth, his fists gleaming with an inconceivably violent energy, directly speeding towards the young man as his fists shot out with crushing might.

“BANG!” Jun Mengchen’s fist smashed onto his opponent’s body. In just an instant, a river of blood gushed out from his opponent, dyeing Jun Mengchen’s armor blood-red, completely engulfing him within. At the same time, beside his opponent, a true body gradually took form.

“That’s a blood clone. Jun Mengchen is in for it. That clone is filled with dreadful blood-poison!” Some immortal kings felt extremely regretful when they saw this scene, bemoaning the fall of such a rare genius like Jun Mengchen. And as expected, Jun Mengchen’s countenance drastically changed. A terrifying blood poison instantly started to corrode his bloodstream, gradually turning his face black. In fact, even the king armor enveloping him had turned completely black!

Chapter 859: One Punch Man

 

(kidding) Actual title: One Punch

“Poison!”

Upon seeing this scene, the countenances of everyone turned ashen. Jun Mengchen’s entire body was turning black after being engulfed by blood from the blood clone. How could anyone not understand what was happening?

And at the same time, the young man blasted out with a palm. A Blackblood Palm Imprint directly smashed onto Jun Mengchen’s body, flinging him through the air while hastening the corrosion of poison within him.

Everything happened in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint. It was inconceivably fast.

“BOOM!” Over at the location where people of the Cloud Prefecture were at, Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan abruptly stood up as an intense coldness radiated from both of them. Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness as his killing intent permeated the atmosphere.

“Deepflame Immortal King!” Upon seeing Jun Mengchen being infected with blood poison, Qin Wentian instantly understood why the Deepflame Immortal King wanted this young man to act. This opponent was proficient in poison and especially so in the aspect of blood poison, there was basically no good way to defend against it. This young man was even able to create a blood poison clone and anyone who fought with him who didn’t know his proficiency would likely fall to the same move and be instantly infected by the blood poison.

The Deepflame Immortal King basically wanted to take Jun Mengchen’s life by sending this opponent up. It already wasn’t the case where he merely wanted someone to defeat Jun Mengchen.

What truly infuriated Qin Wentian was that the one the Deepflame Immortal King obviously had a grudge with, was him. But earlier because Jun Mengchen also sarcastically replied to the Deepflame Immortal King, he harboured hatred in his heart and wanted the personal disciple of his friend to finish Jun Mengchen during combat on the platform.

“Mengchen admit defeat!” Qin Wentian roared. However, at the same time Jun Mengchen crawled up from the ground, it was as though his entire blood was already frozen solid. Even his organs were corroding away, his body felt completely empty, he had no way to mobilize any of his strength.

“NO!” Jun Mengchen’s eyes shone with a terrifying light. That was a kind of stubbornness, his eyes were fixed unwavering on the young man currently walking over to him.

His opponent’s body was completely covered by blood light. His black palm lifted up again, a fearsome destructive power brewed within as he walked step by step towards Jun Mengchen.

“Mengchen, just give up. There’s still another opportunity!” Qin Wentian loudly berated. Under the circumstances where Jun Mengchen was badly poisoned, how else can he still continue fighting? That young man would definitely seize the opportunity to kill him.

“NO WAY!” Jun Mengchen’s eyes flashed with madness.

“Seems like things will be what I predicted, he’s going to lose his life on the platform.” Zuyu from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor smirked with a cold smile on his face.

His words instantly enraged Qin Wentian. His eyes turned ice-cold as he stared at Zuyu. Except he only saw Zuyu’s mouth curling up in a smile that took joy in the calamity of others, as an expression of enjoying a show appeared on his face. It seemed like he couldn’t wait for Jun Mengchen to die.

“What did you say?” Qin Wentian stepped out, the impact from his steps caused a rumbling boom that exploded several tables around him. Zuyu stood up and coldly regarded Qin Wentian. He was an eighth-level ascendant, how would he be afraid of fighting Qin Wentian?

“Hehe, you don’t allow people to comment on it? It’s a given that your junior brother will die here. And as for you, you might not survive today either. People like you who have no understanding of the times, yet are still so brazen and arrogant would surely have a bad ending.” A cold voice rang out as an expert from a major power of the Cloud Prefecture commented. It was none other than Gu Zhantian.

The sounds of explosions rang out continuously. Not only Qin Wentian, Zi Qingxuan and Ghost Saber Mu Yan were completely enraged too. For a period of time, the entire location where those of the Cloud Prefecture were sitting at, were in total chaos.

“INSOLENCE!” A voice roared, akin to a thunderbolt from a clear sky, rumbling the minds of Qin Wentian and the others. Qin Wentian, Zi Qingxuan and Mu Yan only felt their bodies trembling involuntarily from the strength of that roar. After which, the Deepflame Immortal King coldly spoke, “This is the immortal banquet of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. How dare you all be so impudent, there’s simply no Eastern Sage Immortal Sect in your eyes, are you all courting death?”

Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered with a bone-piercing coldness. He glanced at the Deepflame Immortal King before turning his attention back to the platform. Right now, he was extremely worried for Jun Mengchen.

“Senior brother you don’t need to worry about me.” Jun Mengchen glanced over to Qin Wentian. A terrifying divine glow radiated from him as the phantom of a terrifying war god divinity appeared behind his back, like a guardian angel. Jun Mengchen leaned against that divinity as he closed his eyes.

That poison user walked to a location not far from Jun Mengchen. Upon seeing that light radiating from Jun Mengchen, he instantly rushed out akin to a violent raging wind as his destructive black blood palm imprint smashed down on Jun Mengchen’s head. However, the phantom behind Jun Mengchen roared in rage as a violent and turbulent air current shot towards the young man, wanting to destroy him.

“Puchi…” The opponent directly imploded himself, dodging the attack as rivers of bloody light filled the atmosphere. An instant later, a countless number of blood clones could be seen in front of Jun Mengchen, it was unknown which was the true body.

These figures simultaneously walked towards Jun Mengchen while all the spectators could only shake their head thinking that it’s already the end for him. In fact, the hearts of many were clenched as though they were extremely nervous when they spectated this battle.

If Jun Mengchen were to die here, it would truly be a pity. A young man with so much talent should be able to pass this round of selection and become one of the top twenty by right but sadly, he is about to die under the blood poison.

Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan were the most nervous ones. Their eyes were fixed on the battle platform. Not long before this, the young man who joked around with them instantly was infected by a severe blood poison. Such a contrast caused Qin Wentian to feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart. His junior brother with that sunshine-like personality, nothing must happen to him!

Zuyu and Gu Zhantian were both laughing coldly, wanting nothing more for Jun Mengchen to die instantly.

That poison user and the numerous blood clones he manifested walked closer and closer. He was different from many supreme heaven chosen, choosing to keep a low profile, hiding in the shadows and darkness. However, everyone had already seen how dangerous he could be. Jun Mengchen was badly poisoned just after exchanging a single blow and what’s more, Jun Mengchen was the one who initiated the attack!

No one would be willing to antagonize such a person, and there’s no wonder he’s someone nurtured by an immortal king. That black-robed immortal king was none other than a powerful war general under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor – the Absolute Poison Immortal King. His attacking power couldn’t be considered strong among immortal kings but he was considered one of the most dangerous of them all. His proficiency in using poison was naturally countless times higher than his disciple. And for the other immortal kings, they feared him like mortals fearing poisonous snakes and scorpions. No one was willing to offend such a character.

“Was Deepflame the one who asked you to kill me?” Jun Mengchen stared at the several bodies in front of him. He couldn’t be bothered and directly said the name of the Deepflame Immortal King, completely feeling no fear at all.

This precisely was Jun Mengchen’s personality. He was sincere and straight-forward to his friends, but he was simply a madman during combat, extremely brutal and savage to his opponents. He had no fear at all and would speak what he wanted to say. Despite being poisoned so badly, he’s still as brazen as before as a hint of wild madness could be seen flickering in his eyes.

Indeed, the Deepflame Immortal King couldn’t help but furrow his brows when he heard Jun Mengchen’s words. This fellow truly wishes to court death. At this time, he should just obediently died off already, why is he still sprouting such crap.

Coldly snorting in his heart, there was no expression on the Deepflame Immortal King’s face. He wanted to teach Jun Mengchen that although the young might be arrogant and brazen, not knowing when to take a step back or the immensity of the heavens and earth, sometimes…one has to use their life to pay the price for this. This world was after all a world of the strongest. Being hot-blooded was useless and would only lead you to an early death. This punishment would also make Qin Wentian pay the price for his actions – first targeting the people around him, letting Qin Wentian know who has control of the situation and what was authority. Sometimes, talent didn’t mean anything.

“Haha you think you can kill me? How sad. Such an expert at using poison will die here today.” Jun Mengchen started laughing maniacally, his words causing bewilderment to flash on the faces of the spectators. This Jun Mengchen was truly a monster. Even at this moment, he still dared to be so arrogant.

“I also want to see how you can kill me.” As the voice of the young man faded, the numerous clones in the surroundings wave their hands as a boundless blood-colored light started to engulf everything. Their blackblood palm imprints madly blasted towards Jun Mengchen, forming a current of blood akin to a tidal wave, emitting swishing sounds and containing an endless corrosion power within.

“DIE!” Jun Mengchen roared. At this moment, his entire body radiated a towering light. His blacking body actually shot out an intense eye-piercing beam while the spectators discovered that the immense body of the war god divinity phantom behind him started to crack apart. From within, an incomparably supreme energy burst forth, cascading all over Jun Mengchen as he punched out with a fist covered with the king armor.

Right now, Jun Mengchen appeared to be the king of all living things in the world. The king halo around him was so intense that no one could look straight at him. This simple punch of his manifested a beam of king’s light, shooting straight towards his opponent.

“BOOM!”

A thunderous explosion rang out as the entire space collapsed due to the might of his punch. The eye piercing light flashed as several people instantly placed their hands before their eyes, blocking out the rays of the beam. They could faintly see that the numerous clones before him were all shattered apart one after another. In just an instant, all bodies present exploded, regardless of clones or the true body of his opponent, not a single one was left remaining.

That intense beam of light finally vanished, as the glow radiating from Jun Mengchen also dimmed. That phantom behind him gradually disappeared as well. Right now, the entirety of Jun Mengchen’s body was black, he sat there limply, there wasn’t even a drop of red blood that could be seen on him. But regardless, the disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King had completely vanished, exploded into nothingness under the might of a single punch.

“This…” Everyone all stared at the scene dumbfounded.

The auras of several immortal kings fluctuated, tendrils of their aura swept across everything before landing on Jun Mengchen as all their gazes turned to him. A moment later, an immense shock could be seen flashing through their eyes.

“What the hell was that?” The immortal kings had never seen that before, in fact they couldn’t even differentiate what was that the final attack Jun Mengchen used – whether was it a kind of energy, or a type of innate technique, or the power of his constellation, or the strength of his bloodline.

“What power is that?” Even the Deepflame Immortal King and Absolute Poison Immortal King had never seen that before. Jun Mengchen seemed to be different from others.

There must be a startling secret hidden on Jun Mengchen!

“Could it be a kind of heavenly-defying physique?” Some of the immortal kings mused. Although their horizons were broad, they had never seen such a sight. All of them couldn’t be sure of what it was exactly!

Chapter 860: Detoxified

 

Qin Wentian heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene. This junior brother of his was truly too crazy. That burst of energy at the end was indeed terrifying. Qin Wentian could faintly sense that Jun Mengchen had borrowed the aid of an ancient power, allowing him to unleash a punch that contained a truly heaven-shattering might within, destroying the disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King in a single strike.

The aura of the Absolute Poison Immortal King fluctuated wildly as a gush of pressure emanated from him. His disciple was actually killed by someone on the battle platform.

Sweeping his eyes over, he glanced at the Deepflame Immortal King. Right now, the Deepflame Immortal King’s countenance was also extremely ugly to behold. The participant who went up to fight against Jun Mengchen was instigated by him. But right now, the disciple of Absolute Poison Immortal King had died because of this under these circumstances, getting killed in a domineering fashion in an open and above-board manner. Even if the Absolute Poison Immortal King was very protective of his disciple, he couldn’t blame Jun Mengchen at all.

Under the eyes of everyone, it was the disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King who first wanted the life of Jun Mengchen. Jun Mengchen broke no rules at all. Although this place was the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, and this banquet was organized by them. Even if he, the Absolute Poison Immortal King, was a war general under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. How can he kill such an outstanding young genius like Jun Mengchen after he fairly obtained victory, just to avenge his disciple?

“In this situation where all the fishes perished and the net broke, there’s no winner at all. No one will help you to detoxify the poison.” It was absolutely impossible for the Absolute Poison Immortal King to deal with Jun Mengchen, but he also didn’t allow any others to help Jun Mengchen to detoxify the poison. His voice was ice-cold and as expected, a strange gleam flashed through the eyes of some of the more powerful immortal kings, clearly understanding the reasoning behind his action.

Although the Absolute Poison Immortal King’s disciple’s skill in using poison is high, with so many supreme immortal king experts here present, it wouldn’t be a difficult matter for them to detoxify the poison. However, after that sentence of the Absolute Poison Immortal King, he made it clear that whoever helps Jun Mengchen to detoxify the poison would be the same as offending him.

Jun Mengchen still sat atop the battle platform. The experts at the immortal banquet were as many as the clouds but nobody seemed to want to help him. This heaven-defying young genius appeared to be extremely tragic at this moment.

“With no people detoxifying the poison for him, he would still have to die.” Zuyu from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor coldly spoke.

“Courting his own death.” Gu Zhantian continued. They were extremely unhappy with Jun Mengchen’s overturning the situation, changing his defeat into victory. But lucky, there was already no way for Jun Mengchen to survive under the deadly blood poison.

“Even if you two died, nothing would happen to Jun Mengchen.” Qin Wentian growled. His eyes stared at the lonely silhouette of his junior brother as he and Zi Qingxuan stepped out, moving towards the platform. Jun Mengchen smiled at the two of them, although his face has already turned black, a smile could still be seen. “Luckily, it can still considered that I didn’t throw the face of our sect. Even if I step down the platform, I must stand up and walk down in absolute glory.”

After speaking, Jun Mengchen struggled to get up. A low-sounding roar issued from his lips as he slowly walked down the platform step by step, moving towards Qin Wentian. His handsome eyes were still filled with a charming light. After which, he closed his eyes and fell against Qin Wentian’s body.

Although he has a heaven-defying physique, that was nothing but flesh and blood. His king’s aura wasn’t immune to poison, and the blood poison used by the disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King was definitely critical when used on people at the same cultivation level. Jun Mengchen being able to endure the poison, killing his opponent and even walking down the platform, was already a deed that caused great shock to the hearts of many of the spectators.

Although Jun Mengchen was young and impulsive because of hot-bloodedness, his spirit and willpower were both definitely top-class. Naturally there was no need to mention about his super strong combat prowess and that extremely rare physique he possessed. Being able to turn the tables and kill the personal disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King was sufficient to indicate that the physique he possessed was surely a heaven-defying one.

Jun Mengchen’s relationship with Qin Wentian was extraordinary. If he didn’t die, both of them surely have the capabilities to be ranked within the top ten.

Qin Wentian carried Jun Mengchen as he returned back to his seat step by step. His footsteps were resolute while his countenance was as cold as thousand-year ice.

Inclining his head, Qin Wentian turned his gaze towards the Absolute Poison Immortal King and the Deepflame Immortal King.

How many storms had he, Qin Wentian, experienced before? How could he not understand the meaning of the Absolute Poison Immortal King’s words? Since this immortal king had promised the Deepflame Immortal King to allow his disciple and kill Jun Mengchen, how could he still allow others to help Jun Mengchen despite his disciple being defeated? Clearly, the loss of his disciple’s life has generated extreme hatred for Jun Mengchen in his heart.

“Senior, this mere blood poison, I, Qin wouldn’t dare to trouble others to detoxify it. Naturally, I wouldn’t bother senior as well. Since my junior brother can effortlessly destroy your disciple, I can also effortlessly detoxify the blood poison within him.” Qin Wentian turned his gaze towards the Absolute Poison Immortal King as he spoke indifferently, yet his words exuded an arrogance that towered into the heavens. This was especially so for his last sentence, he was basically holding the Absolute Poison Immortal King in disdain. We are two brothers, my junior brother can kill your disciple and I can detoxify the blood poison your disciple used to infect my junior brother with easily.

These words completely didn’t give face to the Absolute Poison Immortal King and was as though it was spoken in response to the Absolute Poison Immortal King’s words earlier.

“These two people are truly fellow sect brothers, both are lofty and brazen. Not fearing to rebut against anyone at all.” Everyone stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian’s personality was somewhat similar to Jun Mengchen, stubborn and not knowing when to compromise, with hot-blood running through his heart, incomparably brazen.

Regardless of the circumstances, or the opponent, they did things according to their heart.

The aura of the Absolute Poison Immortal King fluctuated as the pressure emanating from him intensified to a terrifying extreme, enveloping Qin Wentian. His eyes turned dark, as a boundless coldness flashed within, actually causing Qin Wentian’s steps to stop just from the power of his aura.

“Senior, what are you trying to do? You are a supreme immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. If the sect so wishes it, just simply say it and we will all gladly quit this event, leaving this place immediately.” Qin Wentian turned and used another method to trump his opponent. The Absolute Poison Immortal King had no choice but to retract the pressure. He couldn’t tarnish this once per hundred years immortal banquet because of his selfishness. He then replied coldly, “Boasting shamelessly, I truly want to see how you can detoxify the poison.”

“There’s no need for senior to worry about this.” Qin Wentian’s countenance was still as cold as before, he continued to walk towards his seat while carrying Jun Mengchen. Zi Qingxuan was beside him as well.

The gazes of several people turned to Qin Wentian. Even Dongsheng Ting and Princess Glaze turned their attention over as well. Her beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen, these two individuals even managed to give her an extraordinary feeling.

“The battle platform can still be used, everyone don’t be distracted. Continue.” Dongsheng Ting spoke upon seeing Jun Mengchen departing the platform area but no one actually went up on it. Only then did the other participants came back to their senses as the battles among them continued once again.

The battles before had too many outstanding talents appearing. Hence, the participants in the latter battles all had to do their very best to put up the most impressive performance they could. They knew very clearly only twenty people would pass this round and each of the twenty spots were exceedingly tough to get. At the very least, they had to be invincible at the same level, and they must not be defeated more than once or they would basically not have any hope at all.

The battles on the platform got increasingly brutal but Qin Wentian completely had no knowledge of it at all. His eyes were tightly closed as a gentle white light akin to candle flames circulated around him before congregating onto his fingertips that was placed on Jun Mengchen’s chest.

“Mengchen, don’t resist. Use this white flame that I’m sending to you and circulate that into your bloodstream, allowing it to flush out all the blood poison in your body.” Qin Wentian transmitted his voice over. He knew Jun Mengchen could still hear him. Back then his foster father Ye Qingyun of ancient Ye was also poisoned badly by a type of blood poison. But even so, he could still suppress it and retain consciousness.

Jun Mengchen’s blood poison was like the blood poison his foster father was infected with back then. This might be administered by the personal disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King but Qin Wentian already had experience in neutralizing poisons. Right now, his control over his second bloodline has only improved through the years, and as long as Jun Mengchen worked together with him, it wouldn’t be difficult to expel the poison.

And indeed, Qin Wentian could feel stirrings within Jun Mengchen’s body as Jun Mengchen tried his best to circulate the flames within his body.

Zi Qingxuan sat by the side as she quietly watched. As time flowed by, she noticed the surface of Jun Mengchen’s body was currently engulfed by white candle flames. It seemed as though there were numerous runic lights flooding through his entire body, turning it transparent. That white candle flame that reached into each and every part of his body, cleansing it with a purifying fire.

As spluttering sounds rang out, Zi Qingxuan only saw the black poison qi of Jun Mengchen gradually being diminished after being burned by that white flame. Her eyes couldn’t help but widen, the blood poison was truly being detoxified!

“What a powerful ability, able to expel even blood poisons. Is this an innate technique?” Zi Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes turned to Qin Wentian. If that’s the case, Qin Wentian should be invulnerable to all forms of poisons and toxins.

As the white flames purified the poison, Jun Mengchen gradually grew more clear headed and could even adjust his energy more effortlessly to aid Qin Wentian’s white flames to circulate within his body more effectively.

The black-colored poison qi evaporated faster and faster, and gradually, Jun Mengchen’s body returned to its original color. His eyes opened and stared at Qin Wentian who was currently detoxifying the poison for him as a warmth flashed through his eyes. He then called out in a low voice, “Senior brother.”

This single sentence consisting of two words, ‘senior brother,’ surpassed over ten thousand words of gratitude.

“Quietly adjust your state and recover. This blood poison is extremely hard to deal with, it would revive if we don’t remove it completely.” Qin Wentian spoke. Jun Mengchen’s eyes flickered before closing once more as he focused his mind to expel the poison.

This scene caused bewilderment to appear on the faces of everyone in the surroundings. Qin Wentian was actually truly able to detoxify the poison?

On the upper level, the eyes of the Absolute Poison Immortal King glanced over. His attention has never left that spot at all. Upon seeing Qin Wentian detoxifying the poison for Jun Mengchen, his countenance turned incomparably unsightly. He, the Absolute Poison Immortal King, a supreme character who was also a war general under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, just had his face thoroughly smacked. Firstly, his disciple was killed. Secondly, he was provoked by juniors and right now, the juniors had even proved their word, able to detoxify the blood poison.

Clenching his fist tightly, a killing intent flickered in the eyes of the Absolute Poison Immortal King.

A few moments later, Qin Wentian then spoke to Jun Mengchen, “It’s done.”

As the sound of his voice faded, a boundless candle flame instantly surged out from Jun Mengchen’s body, retracting back into Qin Wentian. Jun Mengchen sat up, his handsome eyes were radiating the vigor he had before he was poisoned. He then glanced towards the Deepflame Immortal King and the Absolute Poison Immortal King as a hint of provocation flashed within.

“If that useless disciple of yours didn’t meet me but met my senior brother instead, his death would be a thousand times more miserable.” Jun Mengchen coldly proclaimed. The Absolute Poison Immortal King was completely enraged but he had nothing to say that could refute the words of Jun Mengchen!

Chapter 861: Top Twenty

 

The battles on the platform continued on. In the immortal banquet, the various immortal kings smiled and chatted, occasionally discussing about the participants.

The grand beauty, the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King, was exceptionally quiet. She then turned and spoke to Hua Taixu who was sitting beside her, “In the battle yesterday, Qin Wentian exhibited his brilliance. You should be the most familiar with him. After so many years, although your improvements are extremely fast, his cultivation speed doesn’t seem to be inferior to yours. If you are to fight against him, how confident would you be?”

Hua Taixu’s current cultivation was the same as Qin Wentian, at the fifth-level of Celestial Phenomenon. The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King naturally knew the price he paid to have some fast improvements in his cultivation. He had to undergo various agonizing training, in addition to the guidance provided by her.

When she first saw the medallion that ranked Qin Wentian at #27, the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King had initially thought that her disciple Hua Taixu had already left Qin Wentian in the dust. Yet, never did she expect that the lofty and arrogant young man from before had also already matured now. No matter where he went, Qin Wentian seemed to exude a magnificence that lasted throughout the generations.

“No idea.” Hua Taixu glanced towards Qin Wentian as he shook his head.

The him right now, the state of his heart had already changed. As he matured, many things from the past no longer would shake his heart. However, there was still a single obsession that he can never let go of and that is having a true battle against Qin Wentian!

He was once the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings in Grand Xia. But Qin Wentian also achieved the same glory he did a batch later.

As for the trials of the Immortal Martial World, Qin Wentian exceeded him and took the place of the top ranker.

During the disciple recruitment event in the Royal Sacred Region, once again, Qin Wentian’s performance was extremely outstanding.

“You’ve undergone training in the samsara world, and already experienced a total of nine reincarnations and lifetimes, becoming one of the extremely few to survive that world. Although you have cultivated for a mere forty-plus years, the state of your heart already far surpassed your true age. Other than this, given how gruelling the tempering sessions you have experienced, are you even not confident of winning against him now?” The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King smiled at Hua Taixu as she asked.

Hua Taixu’s countenance was calm with no fluctuations. He had indeed experienced a total of nine reincarnations in that samsara world. Right now, his heart was incomparably solid, nothing could shake it.

“I’ve undergone so many tempering experiences, but who’s to say that he has not? Many times, we can only see the hard work we put in but neglected the efforts of others.” Hua Taixu spoke in a low voice. “Comparing our innate talents, I’m inferior to him. Based on the advantages of astral souls and bloodline power, no amount of efforts can mitigate them.”

“Indeed, but you don’t need to sell yourself short. Given your comprehension and speed of cultivation, they are both extraordinary. So what if a talent matures later? You can still surpass him at the end if you believe in yourself. There are many ordinary characters who believed in that, and when they reached the immortal king level, their combat prowess is even more fearsome than those so-called heaven-defying geniuses back then in their past.” The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King stated.

The two of them continued chatting, they didn’t seem to have the relationship of a disciple and a master but were like a pair of siblings instead.

Finally, the battles on the platform ended. Every one of the participants had experienced ten battles or more. In fact, for some of those performances who were more lackluster, they participated in even more battles to search for the possibility of breaking through their limits.

Dongsheng Ting sat down on the host seat, his gaze roaming past the participants as he spoke, “Is there anyone else who still wishes to do battle?”

The participants remained silent, no one stepped upon the battle platform.

“Good.” Upon seeing that there was no one else, Dongsheng Ting smiled and turned his gaze towards the immortal kings of the banquet. “The battles for this round have concluded, many participants indeed had outstanding performances. I, Dongsheng Ting, hereby beseech the seniors present to choose twenty participants that will proceed to the next round. There’s no need to consider people who have three defeats or more. For those that would be ranked within the top twenty, they at most can only have two defeats. What do all of the seniors think?”

“Your highness’ words are logical.” A few supreme immortal kings of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect nodded. Indeed, there was no need to consider those who lost three battles or more.

“In that case, I shall invite Princess Glaze to nominate those she feels should pass. As for the various immortal king seniors, you all will decide based on the performance of those individuals she nominated, and see if the individual nominated has the qualifications to become part of the top twenty. Would Princess be agreeable to this?” Dongsheng Ting smiled as he spoke. There were many supreme characters present here, the performance of the participants were naturally already judged by them in their hearts.

As for the twenty individuals who would become the top twenty, although there were a few who might have to struggle to enter it, there were over ten participants whose names were already locked in the list. There would definitely be no problems for them to be part of the top twenty.

Under this solemn atmosphere, no one would joke around.

“Sure.” Princess Glaze wasn’t modest at all and directly accepted Dongsheng Ting’s request with a nod of her head. The participants below all became extremely nervous but many more among them were filled with disappointment. They knew that with their performances, they most likely, wouldn’t have a chance at all.

“I will nominate the individuals for the various immortal king seniors to judge then.” Princess Glaze swept over the participants, landing on Gusu Tianqi as she added, “Top ranker of Eastern Prefecture, Gusu Tianqi. Obtaining a victory against a higher-level opponent, and remained undefeated for his other battles. Regardless of who he fought, the number of moves exchanged wouldn’t exceed three. I think he should have no problem passing this round and becoming part of the top twenty.”

“Gusu Tianqi will surely pass this round.”

“Yes, there’s no suspense with regards to him.”

“Definitely.” The various immortal kings all had no objections. Gusu Tianqi smoothly passed this round and became part of the top twenty.

Princess Glaze’s gaze roamed about, the hearts of the participants seemingly also roamed around with her gaze.

“Top ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture, Feather King of the Winged Devil Race.” Princess Glaze’s gaze landed on Feather King as she spoke, “He can pass.”

“Agreed!”

The various immortal kings nodded, and there was also no suspense for this. Feather King passed easily, becoming the second among the participants to enter the ranks of the top twenty.

Princess Glaze’s beautiful eyes continued to sweep over the crowd. After which, the spectators only saw her gaze directed at the location of the Cloud Prefecture. The Idlecloud Immortal King was extremely agitated, he knew that the performance of his prefecture this time around was extremely outstanding, unprecedented throughout history.

“Second ranker of the Cloud Prefecture Jun Mengchen has no defeats. After being badly poisoned, he still endured it and turned the tables by killing the disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King.” Princess Glaze’s voice was incomparably calm but her words caused everyone to be astonished as they turned their gazes to her before turning to the Absolute Poison Immortal King. This Princess Glaze truly couldn’t be bothered with anything. The third person she nominated was none other than Jun Mengchen, and she even mentioned about his killing of the Absolute Poison Immortal King’s personal disciple.

“Agreed.” A supreme immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect took the initiative and gave his approval.

“He should pass.” Another one added, not bothering to consider the feelings of the Absolute Poison Immortal King. After all, they have to be responsible for the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. This event was purely to recruit talented disciples. And given how outstanding Jun Mengchen was, if he at the end could become part of the top three, he would be a Sage Child character. So, even if his actions have offended the Absolute Poison Immortal King before, what could the Absolute Poison Immortal King do to him?

Other than those immortal kings who have a good relationship with Absolute Poison Immortal King, who didn’t say anything, the others all agreed. Dongsheng Ting then announced, “Since there are no objections, Jun Mengchen passed.”

Princess Glaze then shifted her eyes onto Qin Wentian who was beside Jun Mengchen. “Qin Wentian, undefeated battle record.”

The atmosphere turned silent once more. But a short while later, a supreme immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect said, “Agreed!”

The various immortal kings then expressed their agreement and there were also no objections. The Deepflame Immortal King maintained his silence and Qin Wentian, also became part of the top twenty as well.

“Zi Qingxuan has a perfect battle record as well and she won all of her battles.” Princess Glaze spoke again.

And just like before, no one else objected. Zi Qingxuan also passed this round.

Staring at the three standing together, they even seemed like real blood siblings. This made many have a hint of suspicions in their minds. These three outstanding individuals, which power had nurtured them? Why was it that no one had any idea at all? Also, their sect didn’t seem to be present here at the immortal banquet today.

Other than the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect itself, what other sects or clans would be so powerful, able to produce these three demon-level characters?

Could it be they are not from any sects or clans but were nurtured by a powerful hidden expert? That might be somewhat possible.

“Top ranker of the Cloud Prefecture Gu Zhantian also won all his battles.” Princess Glaze continued and with no objections Gu Zhantian also became part of the top twenty.

“Top ranker of the Qian Prefecture, Ye Qianchen.”

“Top ranker of the Li Prefecture, Cang Ao.”

“Top ranker of the Blazing Sun Prefecture, Dugu Xishan.”

“Top ranker of the Supreme Moon Prefecture, Mo Wen.”

“Top ranker of the Underworld Prefecture, Blackpeak.”

Princess Glaze nominated the participants one by one, and there were no objections raised. Everyone she nominated passed.

In the blink of an eye, already eleven people have passed. Only nine spots for the top twenty remained.

Naturally, those earlier eleven nominated by Princess Glaze were the more outstanding ones. For the positions of the top ten rankers, there was a very high possibility for them to be among these eleven individuals.

“Second ranker of the Eastern Prefecture, Xia Jiufeng.” Princess Glaze called out another name. The various immortal kings glanced at each other before nodding to express their approval. Given Xia Jiufeng’s talent among the remaining participants, a position within the top twenty was without a doubt.

“Second ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture, Qin Ta. A genius from the Heavenly God Race.” Princess Glaze continued.

The immortal kings gave their approval as well, the second ranker of Western Desert Qin Ta entered the ranks of the top twenty.

“Third ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture, Sorrowless.” Princess Glaze called out again, the gazes of many turned to the monk who was clad in tattered clothing. Once again, those immortal kings nodded to show their approval.

“The Western Prefecture is so powerful. But so is the Cloud Prefecture. This batch of participants truly exceeded expectations.” Everyone only realized this when they heard Princess Glaze nominate the names. The Cloud Prefecture who had always been ranked among the last in terms of strength actually was so outstanding, producing a total of four geniuses that ranked within the top twenty this batch. As for the Western Prefecture, there was also a total of three individuals who ranked within the top twenty.

“Top ranker of the Mo Prefecture, Yan Zimo.”

“Top ranker of the Rock Prefecture, Ba Shan.”

“Top ranker of the Yue Prefecture, Gu Hong.” Princess Glaze called out a total of three names once more. There was no suspense as well, although these three top rankers of the prefectures didn’t have a performance as outstanding as the first eleven, there was no problems for them to pass this round.

“A total of seventeen names have been called. Top rankers of ten out of the thirteen prefectures have already been called. As for the other three, their performances must have been lackluster hence Princess Glaze hasn’t called their names out yet. There would surely be a dispute among the immortal kings to see which among them can become part of the top twenty.” The hearts of the spectators mused.

“Top ranker of Thunder Prefecture, Su Feng.” Princess Glaze called out Su Feng’s name, her words causing Su Feng to stiffen for an instant. How laughable. He, Qin Wentian and Zi Qingcheng were of the same cultivation level, but as he encountered two defeats, his name was only called out now.

“Su Feng lost two battles, he shouldn’t be too suitable.” An immortal king spoke. As expected, there would be controversy and dispute for the last three spots.

“Although Su Feng lost two battles, both his opponents were extraordinary strong. But that’s all I have to say, I will still leave the judgement of his level of talent to you seniors.” Princess Glaze calmly replied. The various immortal kings discussed, glancing at the other participants and considered their talents. After a period of time, they agreed to allow Su Feng to pass this round, becoming part of the top twenty.

“There are still two remaining spots. Except, I’m now in a dilemma.” Princess Glaze smiled. The level of controversy and dispute would be greater, and none of her nominated individuals would have the absolute guarantee to be able to pass this round and become part of the top twenty.

“Since Princess is in a dilemma, I have a suggestion. Earlier, we said we will include the personal disciples of immortal kings to act as a test for these participants. Since the personal disciple of the Deepflame Immortal King has already passed. I suggest adding Hua Taixu, the personal disciple of the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King; as well as Ruthless, the disciple of the Undefeated Devil King to be part of the top twenty as well, becoming part of the test for the participants. At the same time, they can also compete for higher rankings as well in the next round. There should be no further controversy or dispute if we add the two of them in. How do you all find my suggestion?”

Dongsheng Ting’s eyes gleamed with a dazzling light as he spoke. Upon hearing the names of the individuals he nominated, everyone started in shock. These two were extremely outstanding demon-level characters. Indeed, given their fame, there would be no controversy or dispute if they were part of the top twenty.

Chapter 862: Recruit

 

Dongsheng Ting’s words caused the eyes of many participants to turn stiff. They only felt their bodies turning cold, they were very disappointed.

Among them, there were still people who were filled with hope and anticipation, wishing that their names would be part of the top twenty. They grew more and more nervous as time flowed by but at the last moment, Dongsheng Ting actually wanted Hua Taixu and Ruthless to be part of the top twenty, replacing the participants for the remaining two spots.

Among the entire thirteen prefectures, only the top ranker of a single prefecture – the Jing Prefecture, didn’t manage to pass this round.

As for the top rankers of the other twelve prefectures, all of them passed and got into the top twenty. This undoubtedly proved the effectiveness of the preliminaries held at each of the prefectures much earlier.

However, a majority of the second and third rankers of the prefectures all failed to make it.

This selection test was extremely cruel, only having twenty spots for the participants to take. Many outstanding geniuses were all short of the stick, failing to make the mark.

“Your highness is right. Just like what Princess Glaze thought, the following participants would all generate controversy and dispute if they were to be chosen for the top twenty. There’s no one among the remaining participants who can convince everyone with his strength otherwise. In that case, I agree to your highness’s suggestion, directly allowing Hua Taixu and Ruthless to be part of the top twenty.” An expert from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect affirmed.

“I have no objections as well.” The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King smiled, glancing at Hua Taixu who was beside her.

“Me neither.” The Undefeatable Devil King was a devil-cultivator. He sat on the top level but wasn’t really fond of words. He was like a devil god with supreme might radiating from him. His disciple Ruthless has the same demeanor as him or he wouldn’t have accepted him. Many supreme characters would take on disciples according to their preferences, choosing suitable individuals to cultivate down the same path as they did.

How could the immortal kings go against Dongsheng Ting in such a matter? Naturally all of them agreed unanimously. Dongsheng Ting smiled, “Since all the seniors have no objections, we will set it like this then. The twenty top rankers shall be the individuals nominated by Princess Glaze, plus Hua Taixu and Ruthless.”

“Hu…” At the location where the Cloud Prefecture was seated, the descendant of the Idlecloud Immortal King, Mu Yun, let out a long sigh. He initially thought he would have a chance to be ranked within the top twenty. Who would have thought that his name wasn’t even mentioned in the nominating process. Right now, only disappointment was in his heart.

“Kacha!” Zuyu of the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor clenched his fists as cracking sounds echoed in the air. His combat prowess was also very strong and had quite an outstanding performance earlier but his name was not called at all. In fact, Princess Glaze’s eyes never even landed on him. It was as though she had never once considered him.

Same as Mu Yun and Zuyu, there were too many disappointed individuals. They all thought that they would have a chance but sadly, the truth was this cruel. A total of 160 participants whittled down to the top twenty. Not only that, two spots within the top twenty were given to Hua Taixu and Ruthless. This had already decreed that a majority of the participants would only be normal core disciples.

“Four from Cloud, three from Western Desert. Well done!” An immortal king stated, feeling somewhat gratified in his heart. Even the Eastern Prefecture only had two who passed – the top ranker Gusu Tianqi, and the second ranker Xia Jiufeng.

As for the top three rankers of the Western Desert Prefecture, all of them passed.

In fact even for the Cloud Prefecture, other than top ranker Gu Zhantian, the other three demon-level characters who passed were fellow sect members and have an extremely good relationship. They gave off the feeling that they stood united in the face of death despite facing powerful people like the Deepflame Immortal King. They didn’t show any respect at all and directly rebutted him.

“Seems like I have no way to accompany you guys to continue on this path.” Beside Qin Wentian, Ghost Saber Mu Yan smiled. His talent was already extremely outstanding but he can only stop here. The eighteen selected participants were simply too outstanding, they were demon-level characters with the best talent throughout the thirteen prefectures.

“Your performance is already very good.” Qin Wentian smiled at Mu Yan. Mu Yan nodded his head, he then lifted his wine cup to Qin Wentian and the rest as he spoke, “Seeing how powerful you three fellow sect siblings are, I’m truly proud of you all. Here’s to hoping you guys can go further and walk all the way till the end.”

“Mhm, definitely.” Jun Mengchen raised his wine cup, as did Qin Wentian, Zi Qingxuan and Mu Yan as they mutually toasted each other, laughing as they chatted.

“Being lucky enough to pick back your life but you are already so proud of yourself so quickly?” Zuyu stared at the four in anger, extremely unhappy. An evil fire ignited in his heart, as a heaven chosen of the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor, his combat prowess should be pretty strong as well. However, he didn’t even qualify to be nominated while the three of them before him have all passed.

Qin Wentian was the mortal enemy of his Battle Heavens Immortal Manor and had killed many geniuses from his sect before.

One could very well imagine the emotions currently in Zuyu’s heart.

Jun Mengcheng coldly swept his gaze over yet he only heard Qin Wentian saying, “Mengchen, there’s no need to lower ourselves to match people like these. A true dragon soars through the nine heavens, why must they be bothered with snakes who crawl on their bellies on the ground?”

“You…” Zuyu pointed his finger at Qin Wentian, even more enraged than ever. No matter what, his cultivation base was at the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, he should be able to insta-kill either Qin Wentian or his companions yet he was humiliated so badly like this.

“I don’t know if you can feel shame or not.” Jun Mengchen mockingly stared at Zuyu, after which he didn’t bother about him anymore. The Battle Heavens Immortal Manor as well as many major powers of the Cloud Prefecture stared at the satisfied trio, feeling extremely vexed in their hearts. Naturally, it was because of the grudges they had with Qin Wentian. If it wasn’t for that, they probably couldn’t wait to fawn on Qin Wentian right now, wanting to have a good relationship with him.

“The battles earlier lasted quite a long time, I’m sure the participants are feeling fatigued. Let’s rest for four hours before we start the next test. Everyone please feel free to do your own thing.” Dongsheng Ting smiled and waved his hands to the crowd. The battles earlier have drawn all their focus, it was only to be expected that the participants would feel a little fatigue. It was a good idea to take a break.

“Okay, the immortal banquet shall continue. Everyone, please feel at ease and if you have any needs or requirements, you can refer to the servants.” Dongsheng Ting then stood up, he held his wine cup and walked over to Princess Glaze as he smiled, “Princess, what do you think of these geniuses?”

“They are all excellent, there are many outstanding characters among them.” Princess Glaze nodded her head.

“In that case, who does Princess favor most? Who do you think has the highest probability of becoming the top three rankers, Sage Children of my Eastern Sage Immortal Sect?”

“That will have to depend on all of you, how can I manage to guess at it?” Princess Glaze glanced at the participants while smiling at Dongsheng Ting. She has always been observing the participants, wondering if the information her royal father told her would have any connection with the participants at this event.

“Okay, let’s not talk about that. I, Dongsheng Ting, have long admired senior White Emperor but never had a chance to meet with his respectable self before. In the future if there’s an opportunity, I still hope that Princess would do the introductions, allowing me to fulfil the wish of paying respects to the White Emperor.” Dongsheng Ting was damn good with words, fawning on the White Emperor through the use of a few casual sentences.

The immortal kings by the side didn’t disturb Dongsheng Ting when they saw this scene. All of them were wily old foxes, how could they not know what Dongsheng Ting was thinking? Usually, they roamed the vast immortal realms and it would be extremely hard for them to encounter each other. Now since they all gathered here today, even if there were some unhappiness among them, they would forget about it and treat each other like old friends, chatting and laughing together.

“Myriad Incarnations, you are getting more and more beautiful with each passing year.” The Undying Immortal King smiled at the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King. The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King exuded a sense of elegance and she was indeed very beautiful. Although she has already cultivated for many years, because she was an immortal king, she was still extremely youthful looking. Also, because of her powerful cultivation, her bearing stood out even more, each action she took could cause people to be mesmerized. She was just like a female goddess, one can only respect and admire her, blasphemy was not allowed.

“Undying Immortal King, you are still so good with words.” Myriad Incarnations laughed.

“Not only are you beautiful, your disciple is extremely powerful as well. I’ve long heard that your disciple Hua Taixu went to the samsara world to temper himself. Both of you are truly audacious, only a rare few would be able to survive that place and even if they came out alive, most of them would have already gone crazy.” The Undying Immortal King cast a deep glance at Hua Taixu yet he only saw Hua Taixu’s countenance was as calm as ever, indicating his extraordinary state of heart.

“Haha, his strength can be attributed to his own hard work.” The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King smiled.

“Your temper is so good. Look at that Deepflame Immortal King, he looked so angry that his rage can even tower up to the heavens.” The Undying Immortal King shook his head and smiled, turning his gaze over to the Deepflame Immortal King. They only noticed that Deepflame was staring at the lower level, and following his gaze, they soon saw Qin Wentian.

So it turned out that a supreme immortal king of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had arrived by the side of Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan, Mu Yan and Gu Liufeng were all gathered together. At this moment, that supreme immortal king walked over as the Idlecloud Immortal King instantly stood up and introduced, “This is senior Supreme Mystic Immortal King from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.”

“We pay our respects to senior.” Everyone from the Cloud Prefecture instantly stood up only to see the Supreme Mystic Immortal King waving his hand casually. A warm smile adorned his lips as he stared at Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen. He then smiled, “Are the two of you confident in obtaining two out of the top three positions?”

“We will do our best.” Qin Wentian politely replied, he could sense that this immortal king had no bad intentions from his smile.

“Mhm, if you guys make it to the top three, you will become direct disciples under his Eastern Sage Majesty. However, his majesty would usually be extremely busy. Unless you become personal disciples, it’s very rare for him to give you guidance. In fact, even for personal disciples, the amount of time they have to be guided is also extremely short. Usually, the disciples of his majesty would just cultivate within the sect. And at that time, you all can follow me to cultivate if you all wish to, I will do my best to guide you both. It’s fine even if you two don’t become Sage Children. As long as you are willing, you can enter my tutelage when you join our sect.”

The Supreme Mystic Immortal King smiled, his words causing the experts of the Cloud Prefecture to be completely stunned. The gazes they used to looked at Qin Wentian drastically changed. A supreme immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect personally came by to attract them to be his disciples. This indicated that for the two of them, even if they couldn’t become Sage Child characters, they would also be able to become personal disciples of an immortal king.

This involuntarily caused many of the major powers in the Cloud Prefecture to be worried. They were afraid that Qin Wentian would soar up to the heavens. However, the Idlecloud Immortal King was extremely happy. He smiled and remarked, “Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen, the Supreme Mystic Immortal King is an extremely powerful immortal king senior.”

“Supreme Mystic.” However at this moment, an untimely voice drifted over. The Deepflame Immortal King walked over and stated to the Supreme Mystic Immortal King. “Supreme Mystic, I’m afraid your thoughts would amount to nothing. They will not become Sage Child characters, especially so for Qin Wentian. It’s impossible for him.”

“Deepflame, you saying such things, isn’t your heart a little too narrow?” The Supreme Mystic Immortal King frowned. This Deepflame should care more about his own status, as a war general under his Majesty, he actually said such a thing in public.

“Hmph, do you know the story back then when his Majesty went to a particle world to recruit a disciple?” Deepflame Immortal King spoke.

“I know of it, but am unsure of the exact story.” The Supreme Mystic Immortal King replied.

“Back then during that event, this brat almost became the disciple of his Majesty.” Deepflame Immortal King pointed at Qin Wentian as he continued, “However, he wasn’t willing to accept the good intentions of his Majesty, rejecting the rules his Majesty had imposed on him. With such a brazen character, his Majesty changed his mind and forsook him.”

The countenance of the Supreme Mystic Immortal King instantly changed when he heard that. His expression flickered, no wonder Deepflame and Dongsheng Ting seemed to be so unfriendly towards this Qin Wentian. So, this was the case.

“Although this brat managed to arrive at this place, it isn’t going to be so easy even if he wants another chance.” The Deepflame Immortal King sneered at Qin Wentian as he coldly asserted!

Chapter 863: Frost Queen Mo Wen

 

The Supreme Mystic Immortal King instantly understood the thoughts of the Deepflame Immortal King. Qin Wentian has actually already offended the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor once and was forsaken by him. In that case, it was truly somewhat of a tall-order for Qin Wentian to enter the top three.

Right now, everyone only saw the Deepflame Immortal King turning his gaze onto Qin Wentian as he continued, “In the past, you’ve already missed this opportunity. Even if you knew your mistakes and want to start afresh, his Majesty might sit up and take notice of you but sadly, you are destined never to be within the top three.”

“This has not ended yet, aren’t your words a little too decisive?” Qin Wentian stared at the Deepflame Immortal King as he spoke.

A cold smile lighted the face of the Deepflame Immortal King. This brat was too naive. Could it be that he really thought that the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor didn’t accept him as a disciple back then was really because he angered him? And now, he wanted to use an outstanding performance to persuade his Majesty to accept him?

How ridiculous! Qin Wentian’s hopes were destined to be fruitless.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Deepflame Immortal King to tell Qin Wentian the truth, he would never do so. He merely left behind a string of low-sounding words before he left, “Some things are already destined, they are not changeable just by hard work.”

The meaning behind his words was extremely significant.

“Some things, until the very end, you can never know the results.” Qin Wentian similarly also replied. If the Deepflame Immortal King paid attention, he would also discover that there was a significant meaning within Qin Wentian’s words. However, the Deepflame Immortal King naturally didn’t bother to pay attention. He believed that Qin Wentian was someone who didn’t know the immensity of the heavens and earth, he believed that was just an arrogant rebuttal, nothing more and nothing less.

However, did he really understand what Qin Wentian was saying?

Just like what the Deepflame Immortal King had said. Some things are already destined, they are not changeable just by hard work. From the surface, this might be mocking Qin Wentian’s talent. But in fact, Qin Wentian understood that no matter how high his talent is, there was no way the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would allow him to be one of the top three rankers.

However what about Qin Wentian’s words?

Some things, until the very end, you can never know the results…

The Deepflame Immortal King took his wine cup and directly left, while chatting with the other immortal kings, laughing happily. It was as though the earlier humiliation by Qin Wentian wasn’t able to affect the state of his heart. However, the Supreme Mystic Immortal King cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian as he sighed in his heart, feeling that this whole thing was such a pity. He initially wanted to take on Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen as disciples. Even if they were truly fortunate enough to become Sage Child characters, he could also have guided them.

But now… The Supreme Mystic Immortal King shook his head and didn’t say anything else.

“How noisy. Nothing but a persistent bastard.” Jun Mengchen stared at the back view of the Deepflame Immortal King with his fists clenched tightly. This Deepflame kept opposing them in all things, it was extremely irritating.

“Qin Wentian, I believe you will be able to do it.” Gu Liufeng patted Qin Wentian on his shoulder as he spoke.

“Mhm. Although this time around you didn’t manage to get into the top twenty, don’t be discouraged by this.” Qin Wentian replied. He still remembered back then when he first saw Gu Liufeng, how imposing was he.

“Don’t worry, my state of heart isn’t that weak. Maybe because my temperament has changed I’m now inferior to you and Hua Taixu. Back then in a particle world, I was one of the few geniuses that stood at the peak; but when I came to the immortal realms, so many people were able to suppress me, thus leading to the change in my beliefs. Maybe, I should learn from Hua Taixu, roaming the immortal realms to gain more experience to temper my state of heart.” Gu Liufeng spoke in a low voice.

“Mhm, I believe in you.” Qin Wentian smiled. There were truly too many geniuses in the immortal realms. The geniuses of particle worlds, when placed in perspective of the immortal realms, if they didn’t continue to improve they truly couldn’t be considered anything. After entering the immortal realms, you still need to continue advancing on your path, achieving transformation after transformation from the experiences you gained. The people here were the most outstanding elites of the thirteen prefectures. Which one of them wouldn’t be geniuses at the peak when placed in a particle world?

“Next, the cultivation level of all the remaining participants is different. I wonder what methods would they use to choose the top ten. I think, maybe those higher level ascendants would have to suppress their cultivation levels to have a fair match against the lower level ones.” Gu Liufeng spoke in a low voice. It was really tough to compete fairly given that the cultivation bases of the remaining participants are all different.

On the highest level, the immortal kings were all discussing the rules of the next competition.

They have to choose the top ten from these twenty participants, and the rules have to make things relatively fair for all participants. There were many kinds of combat methods they could use but the crucial thing was that Dongsheng Ting has to approve them. After all, he is the designated host of this event.

The immortal banquet was extremely lively. Those eliminated geniuses gradually accepted their fate and started to enjoy the banquet. Although they lost their opportunity, they were still core disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. As long as they were willing to put in the effort, they could still have a dazzling future.

Many famous personnel in the thirteen prefectures were actually outstanding disciples from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. If one could cultivate till the immortal king level, they also would have a chance to govern a prefecture. Such an authority could said to be already heaven-reaching.

Although in this place, the position of a prefecture lord wasn’t that dazzling and appeared to be somewhat normal. One must not forget that this place was the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, the hegemon of the thirteen prefectures! This banquet was organized for the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, and naturally, immortal kings wouldn’t seem to be that impressive. Even characters like the Idlecloud Immortal King didn’t stand out here but this doesn’t mean that the authority they had was non-existence.

How vast was a prefecture? A single Cloud Prefecture already has eighty-one countries with a countless number of cities. The Idlecloud King was the prefecture lord of the Cloud Prefecture. Over there, his hand could cover the skies, summoning the wind and rain with his will alone.

Although right now, these participants were sitting together with the immortal kings, this didn’t represent anything at all. They have to pass the numerous tests of this immortal banquet to prove their potential before they could be qualified to attend this immortal banquet. As for the future, it still had to depend on the participants themselves to see how far they can go.

As the people at the banquet chatted, time flowed on. Dongsheng Ting returned to his host seat as the various immortal kings also quieted down. Those on the lower level stared at Dongsheng Ting in silence and the solemn atmosphere now instantly gave them a feeling of imposingness.

Right now, Dongsheng Ting swept his gaze over everyone as he spoke. “Before this, I have discussed with Princess Glaze and some senior immortal kings about the rules of the next test. This test shall eliminate ten more participants to filter out the remaining ten but the participants who pass this test won’t be ranked subjectively. As for those in the top ten positions, everyone would be given a reward once the immortal banquet ends. And naturally, for the top three rankers, their rewards would be exceedingly valuable. In order to be part of the top three rankers, you have to pass this test first.”

“The rules are very simple, we will go according to the order of names called out earlier by Princess Glaze. The twenty participants will mount the platform and if they fight against people at the same cultivation level, there’s no need for either to suppress their cultivation bases. But for fights between different-level ascendants, I will use a treasure to ensure that the cultivation bases of the two combatants are the same. For those who win their first battle, they are temporarily safe. And for those who lost a battle, they would still have a chance to challenge others after the first round of combat ended. Those who have two losses will be directly ousted from the top ten.”

Dongsheng Ting slowly continued, “And one more point, for people who have already lost one fight, the others cannot choose him as an opponent. I will give those who have one loss an authority to initiate. This is to prevent two outstanding geniuses from picking on a single participant. Everyone, you should understand the rules already, right?”

The crowd nodded their heads. Dongsheng Ting had made things very clear.

“For the first match, Gusu Tianqi you are up.” Dongsheng Ting swept his gaze over to the location where the people of the Eastern Prefecture were seated at.

Gusu Tianqi’s silhouette flickered, directly appearing on the battle platform. A moment later, the other nineteen participants couldn’t help but to feel a little nervous. If Gusu Tianqi choose to fight against them, the possibility of their defeat would be very great. If that’s the case, they would only have one more chance remaining. If they lose two battles, they would be directly eliminated.

“Supreme Moon Prefecture, Mo Wen.” Only to hear Gusu Tianqi emotionlessly speaking a name. And upon seeing him choosing Mo Wen, there were several people who felt extremely bewildered.

Mo Wen is the top ranker of the Supreme Moon Prefecture. Among the top twenty rankers, only Mo Wen and Zi Qingxuan were female, they were both the chosen daughters of heaven.

However, everyone instantly understood the reasoning behind why Gusu Tianqi picked Mo Wen. Maybe to him, it was the same no matter who he fought. Mo Wen was at the same cultivation level as him, and in that case, there’s no need for either of them to suppress their cultivation level and can fight each other directly.

Gusu Tianqi hated troubles, it would naturally be best for things to be simpler.

Mo Wen’s silhouette flickered, quickly appearing on the platform. She was clad in robes of icy blue. Her demeanor was extraordinary and her skin was fair like snow, completely untainted by dust.

“Mo Wen, will she be able to fight against Gusu Tianqi?” Jun Mengchen mumbled in a low voice, staring at the female before him. A hint of concern could be seen flickering in his eyes.

“It might be a little difficult but Mo Wen is no ordinary character. Even if Gusu Tianqi wanted to fight with her, he will have to show his true strength.” Qin Wentian replied. The three of them watched as Mo Wen stood on the platform, as though she was the focus of their complete attention.

Because…Mo Wen was the same as them, she was also from the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

Within the top twenty, other than the three of them, there’s still one more individual – Supreme Prefecture, Mo Wen.

Out of the top twenty spots, the disciples of the Heavenly Talisman Realm took four positions.

From the start till now, they have never gone up to greet each other. In fact, not even the slightest hint that they knew where each other were from could be picked up by others. They merely silently observed each other, knowing of each other’s existences.

Mo Wen who was clad in icy blue robes was still extremely calm at this moment. Upon seeing a resplendent battle light radiating from Gusu Tianqi, the clear sounds of cracking could be heard around her as all of a sudden, a world of ice appeared in her surroundings as the temperature in the surroundings abruptly plunged.

“How cold.” Even sitting far away from the platform, the spectators could still feel the chill exuding from Mo Wen. What was even more terrifying was that right now, the black hair of Mo Wen transformed into strands of ice that were as sharp as swords, floating behind her. Her entire person seemed to have transformed, and currently that ice beauty from earlier was emanating a phantasmal feeling, resembling a frost queen.

Gusu Tianqi’s attack blasted out, bringing with it a resplendent light as blinding as the sun itself. However, when that attack arrived in front of Mo Wen, the frost in this world of ice was so cold that even the sun would be frozen solid. Clear cracking sounds rang out as the fist imprint thrown out by Gusu Tianqi completely froze in mid air. One could very well imagine how terrifyingly cold the surrounding temperature was.

An ice lance shot out, breaking apart the frozen fist imprint. That terrifying battle might within that imprint was easily dispersed.

“This Mo Wen also has an unique physique, it’s the extremely rare innate Frost King Physique!” An immortal king mumbled. But then again, if Gusu Tianqi wasn’t incomparably confident, he would definitely never have chosen Mo Wen for his first battle!

Chapter 864: Savage Attacks

 

Gusu Tianqi retreated back to his original location, not choosing to continue launching his attacks.

Facing against opponents, he was able to probe their strength from the exchange of a single blow. Mo Wen has a Frost King physique and naturally, just using ordinary attacks on her wouldn’t be able to secure his victory.

“Bzz!”

In the air, a terrifying blazing furnace appeared, enveloping the entire space of the battle platform. At the same time, numerous balls of light akin to the sun appeared above the furnace. There was a total of nine suns, and the heat they radiated caused the temperature of the blazing furnace to soar even higher.

“You won’t be able to defeat me.” Gusu Tianqi spoke in arrogance. As the sound of his voice faded, a boundless divine glow cascaded down from the furnace to Gusu Tianqi. He now resembled a divine being from the heavens, unexcelled in this world.

“How powerful.” The spectators felt their hearts trembling. Before this, Gusu Tianqi had never used his full strength in his battles, and that was already sufficient to effortlessly defeat his opponents. Right now, when he unleashed his constellation, that variation-type constellation of his contained boundless might. If fact, there was no need for him to even attack ordinary ascendants, just the pressure from his constellation alone was sufficient to kill a countless number of ordinary ascendants who were on the same level as him.

In front of absolute strength, numbers are nothing. Even if there are thousands of same-level ordinary ascendants rushing Gusu Tianqi, they would all be buried by his strength.

Mo Wen’s fairy-like eyes flashed with a solemn light. Her aura gushed outwards as a chill capable of freezing the heavens permeated the atmosphere. In the air, a frost-type constellation manifested, opposing the blazing furnace constellation of Gusu Tianqi. Half of the sky was cloaked in baking heat while the other half was cloaked in bone-chilling ice.

In the air, numerous silhouettes of frost queens appeared, all of them were like divine maidens of ice, wielding long ice lances in their hands, taking on a corporeal form as they stared at Gusu Tianqi in front of them.

“BOOM!” Gusu Tianqi stepped out. The heat from the nine suns grew more intense. The furnace cascaded a reddish light down, wanting to incinerate the entire space below. Gusu Tianqi shimmered with a divine glow as he stepped towards Mo Wen. A blazing sun spear appeared in his hand and with a single stab, a ball of fire like the real sun shot out, penetrating through the void, melting the ice wherever it passes by.

“BREAK!” Gusu Tianqi coldly commanded, as the sounds of ice cracking drifted out. This long spear was incomparably resplendent, it melted all the frost and ice as it shot right towards Mo Wen’s throat.

Mo Wen lifted her hands as boundless runic glow circulated, transforming into a terrifying diagram of a shackle that shot towards Gusu Tianqi.

Gusu Tianqi waved his hands, that blazing long spear split itself into numerous smaller sun spears and all erupted outwards. Mo Wen had no choice but to retreat as the diagram she conjured shattered apart from the power of Gusu Tianqi’s strikes.

“Get down here!” Gusu Tianqi stretched his hands upwards, the golden glow radiating from him made it seemed as though he was a sun god.

“DIE!” With a roar of rage, the sun spears erupted towards the sky. At the same time, Gusu Tianqi stepped out and every step he took seemed to cause his aura to climb even higher. His immortal battle art was unleashed as the battle qi radiating from Gusu Tianqi towered into the skies.

Mo Wen’s body was protectively enveloped by layers of ice. Upon seeing the resplendent blazing battle halo around Gusu Tianqi, Mo Wen decisively called out, “I admit defeat.”

As the sound of her voice faded, Gusu Tianqi halted his steps. That towering battle aura from him dissipated in an instant. He calmly stood on the battle platform and it was simply impossible to imagine that a sixth-level ascendant would be able to unleash such power.

However, Mo Wen was also very strong. It was only she was forced to concede. Most probably, she didn’t want to waste too much energy in this battle against Gusu Tianqi. To Mo Wen, this wasn’t worth it. She now had the initiative due to her loss, hence she would definitely win her next match.

The two of them walked down the platform, yet both left behind a deep impression in the hearts of the crowd.

“The second battle, Feather King of the Western Prefecture.” Dongsheng Ting’s countenance remained unchanged as he spoke once more. Feather King stood up, his wings flickered as he instantly arrived on the battle platform. His expression was extremely terrifying and sharp. He naturally wouldn’t choose to challenge Gusu Tianqi. And after Mo Wen was defeated, he cannot choose her as his opponent. Hence, there were only seventeen people left in the pool for him to pick.

Feather King’s cultivation level was at the seventh-level of Celestial Phenomenon. If he thought the same as Gusu Tianqi, there was a possibility that he would select an ascendant on the same level as him to fight. Having to restrict their cultivation bases to fight a different-level ascendant was simply not satisfying.

Those who were at the seventh level of Celestial Phenomenon were – The top ranker of the Qian Prefecture, Ye Qianchen as well as the top ranker of the Cloud Prefecture, Gu Zhantian.

The three of them were top rankers of their respective prefectures and at the initial phase of these tests, they would try to avoid clashing with each other. But as time flowed by during the later phase, it would be inevitable for them to clash.

And as expected, the Feather King’s gaze flickered, sweeping over Ye Qianchen and Gu Zhantian. The Qian Prefecture was one of the three great prefectures hence Ye Qianchen was more famous. His gaze eventually landed on Gu Zhantian as he spoke, “I challenge you.”

Gu Zhantian’s expression stiffened while others felt somewhat bewildered by his choice.

Feather King actually chosen to challenge Gu Zhantian.

The top ranker of the Cloud Prefecture was Gu Zhantian. But if one took note, the combat prowess of Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan were all extremely overwhelming as well but Gu Zhantian still became the top ranker of the Cloud Prefecture. There was no need to doubt his combat prowess and before this during the selection for the top twenty, Gu Zhantian’s performance was also extremely domineering. However, it was precisely because of this Feather King chose to challenge Gu Zhantian. His spirit was something ordinary people would lack, he wished to fight against the strongest no matter what.

Just from the spirit he showed, Feather King was undoubtedly a young king of the Winged Devil Race of the Western Prefecture.

Gu Zhantian’s countenance turned cold. He was actually the second one being chosen to fight in this round. To him, being selected this early was nothing but a kind of contempt.

An instant later, Gu Zhantian appeared on the battle platform, facing the Feather King.

Violet-gold wings could be seen on the back of Feather King, it was extremely dazzling. Devilish runes could be seen circulating around his body, containing an unfathomable might within them.

As an expert from the Winged Devil Race, their speed and strength were all exceedingly monstrous.

With a flap of his wings, Feather King was like a bolt of lightning flashing through the skies, directly appeared before Gu Zhantian as he punched out a fist shimmering with dazzling devilish runelight.

Gu Zhantian roared in rage as a flood dragon manifested, erupting forth, clashing against Feather King.

A thunderous explosion boomed, the entire platform shook from the impact of their clashes. Their strength was overwhelming and they both chose to fight directly head-on, causing chaotic qi streams to ravage the area from the impact of their blows. From the platform, they exchange moves all the way till both of them were in the air. A phantom flood dragon could be seen behind Gu Zhantian’s back, roaring in rage. It felt as though Gu Zhantian himself was going to transform into a real flood dragon.

As for Feather King, his dominance knew no bounds. The dazzling devilish runes transformed into astral war beasts that rushed straight at Gu Zhantian.

“KILL!” Gu Zhantian howled. The phantom flood dragon directly coiled around him and each of his attacks were like they weren’t attacks by humans but a true flood dragon instead.

Feather King’s body took on the characteristics of devils. The devilish runes circulated wildly around him and right now, the aura from him contained a hint of tyranny from those who practiced devil arts. Combining that with the brutality of demons, every one of his punches had the power to shake the void.

“As they are both confident in their strength, the two of them chose to use the simplest method, clashing directly head-on, strength against strength. However, this kind of method usually is the most brutal and dangerous.” The spectators felt their hearts trembling. These two individuals were extremely proud geniuses. They didn’t even bother to probe the strength of their opponents and started to clash directly. The altitude the two of them fought at got increasingly higher, and it felt like two ancient devils or demons fighting against each other high up in the sky.

“Truly brutal.” The spectators watched on.

“Gu Zhantian is the descendant of that mad man, getting more and more crazy the longer he fights. However, his opponent is Feather King, the young king of the Winged Devil Race! Right now, it seems that they are both evenly matched.” The Idlecloud Immortal King mused silently. In just an instant, it was unknown how many times the two of them collided. And finally, with a draconic roar, Gu Zhantian unleashed his bloodline power, taking on a form with three heads and six arms.

But right now, the devil form of Feather King grew more and more ‘devilish.’ His physique expanded and he seemed just like a devil king, His wings slashed out arcs of wind that were even sharper than swords as the tempo of their fight increased to such a pace that the eyes of some of the spectators couldn’t even follow it.

Gu Zhantian howled in madness, astral light from his constellation cascaded down on him, boosting his combat strength.

“BOOM!” The dome of heavens abruptly trembled, numerous bodies of Feather King could be seen in the air. The number of his incarnations continued to increase, filling up this entire stretch of sky. These incarnations all attacked simultaneously, aiming for Gu Zhantian alone.

Gu Zhantian’s hands immediately folded ancient seals. He who has three-heads and six-arms, seemed to have the body of an divinity, blasting out attacks endlessly in all directions. There were flood dragons breaking the skies, there were leviathans and rocs unleashing their might, and also kirins attacking frenziedly. Each and every one of his strikes contained world-shaking might, breaking apart all of Feather King’s incarnations.

“Powerful, both of their combat prowess is too tyrannical.” The spectators inclined their head and stared at the scene in the sky. Astral light flashed and at this moment, chaos was everywhere. A supreme devil manifested as the devilish glow enveloped Feather King completely. Right now, Feather King was like a primordial devil. His attacks were so powerful that Gu Zhantian’s countenance drastically changed.

“Gu Zhantian is going to be defeated, his trump cards are all exhausted.” The eyes of the spectators narrowed as their hearts clenched. This young king from the Winged Devil Race, the top ranker of the Western Prefecture, was truly too terrifying.

And as expected, after the violent collisions of their attacks, Gu Zhantian was blasted off the platform. Feather King floated in the air, coldly peering down at him.

Gu Zhantian, defeated.

At this moment, Gu Zhantian turned completely ashen as he stared at the sky. He was defeated, he had actually lost.

“Beautiful!” Only to see in the direction where the Cloud Prefecture was located, Jun Mengchen was extremely excited upon seeing the defeat of Gu Zhantian. Since that was the case, Gu Zhantian would be eliminated if he lost one more fight.

“Senior brother, I will go and provoke Gu Zhantian later, making him accept my challenge. I want to make him unable to get into the top ten.” Jun Mengchen’s eyes flickered with a dazzling light. Qin Wentian glanced at Jun Mengchen as he nodded. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Blackpeak and Gu Zhantian, they definitely must properly abuse these two.

However, since Gu Zhantian had already lost one battle, no one can directly challenge him. He now had the initiative authority to choose who he wants to fight with!

Chapter 865: Fellow Sect Brothers on the Battle Platform

 

Feather King’s wings flickered, he transformed into a beam of violet-gold light, instantly returning to his seat at the banquet.

Gu Zhantian brought along his disappointment with him as he walked back to the location where the people of the Cloud Prefecture were gathered at. The halo of light he seemingly emanated as the top ranker of the Cloud Prefecture, as well as his arrogance, dimmed perceptibly after his defeat to Feather King.

“Feather King is from the Winged Devil Race, the strongest in the Western Prefecture and he only won narrowly. Gu Zhantian’s prowess is astounding, as expected of the top ranker of our Cloud Prefecture.” An expert from the Cloud Prefecture spoke, as though wanting to console Gu Zhantian.

Gu Zhantian’s eyes flickered, his state of heart immediately feeling much better. But in truth, a defeat was a defeat. Gu Zhantian himself was also merely seeking consolation for himself.

But at this moment, an ear-piercing cold snort sounded out.

Gu Zhantian frowned, after which he only heard Jun Mengcheng stating, “What do you mean by top ranker of the Cloud Prefecture? In the preliminaries previously my senior brother, senior sister and I, didn’t even go all out and do our best just to seize battle qi. If not, back then my senior brother Qin wouldn’t have challenged him, a person who is three levels of cultivation higher than himself. Or else, how could the label of the top ranker fall to someone like Gu Zhantian?”

“How ridiculous. Since you guys were defeated back then, it means you have already lost. Gu Zhantian seized the position of the top ranker and yet now you three are still finding excuses for what happened.” That expert who spoke earlier swept his gaze over to Jun Mengchen. He was someone from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor and his sect has never seen eye-to-eye with Qin Wentian and his companions.

“In that case, you finding excuses for Gu Zhantian’s earlier defeat is even more ridiculous. Gu Zhantian actually lost to someone of the same cultivation level. Do you even know shame?” Jun Mengchen intentionally mocked, and right now he turned his eyes to match the sharp gaze of Gu Zhantian who was staring at him. He continued speaking arrogantly, “Gu Zhantian, you are merely someone who started cultivating earlier than us, hence your higher level of cultivation. As for you being the top ranker of the Cloud Prefecture, that’s nothing but a joke. Weren’t you extremely arrogant earlier? But you were actually defeated so quickly? How laughable.”

“If this place isn’t the immortal banquet, just based on your earlier words I would have already killed the three of you.” Gu Zhantian’s voice was ice cold, his sharp eyes sweeping over to Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan.

“Haha, a shameless bastard.” Jun Mengchen started laughing uproariously. “Isn’t it simple if you want to kill us? So what if this place is the immortal banquet? You already have the initiative authority due to the loss. Wouldn’t it do if you just challenge me later? I won’t even be scared to have a battle to the death with you, but the question is…do you dare?”

As Jun Mengchen was speaking, his finger was pointed straight at Gu Zhantian, adopting an extremely unbridled posture. His words caused many people to turn their gaze over. Jun Mengchen was actually actively challenging Gu Zhantian. But sadly, because Gu Zhantian was defeated earlier, no one else can challenge him directly.

“Internal battle of the Cloud Prefecture? Interesting. This young man seems to be intentionally provoking Gu Zhantian, wanting to settle the grudges between them with a battle to the death.” Many people instantly saw through Jun Mengchen’s intentions. As for Gu Zhantian, he was just defeated and right now Jun Mengchen was pointing at him in contempt, how could he not be enraged? How could he swallow this breath of anger?

“Since you are courting death so desperately, I shall naturally grant it to you.” Gu Zhantian walked back to his seat before closing his eyes in mediation. The earlier battle had sapped too much of his energy. He now needed to calm himself down and recover his strength, preparing for his next battle.

In truth, Jun Mengchen’s fight earlier with the personal disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King actually caused Gu Zhantian to be shocked badly, filling his heart with trepidation with regards to Jun Mengchen.

Under the circumstances where he was infected badly by the blood poison, Jun Mengchen could still actually kill his opponent. That final attack left a deep and long lasting impression to all the spectators. If Jun Mengchen went all out to deal that mortal strike once more, Gu Zhantian didn’t know if he could block it.

And it was precisely because of that final attack by Jun Mengchen that when Princess Glaze nominated the individuals who passed, she placed him among the first few.

Hence it was already Jun Mengchen’s turn for the next battle.

Jun Mengchen stepped onto the platform, causing quite a number of people to be nervous. Everyone who had stepped upon the platform all have overwhelming strength, and in addition there was already a total of four combatants who fought on this stage earlier for this particular test. There were only thirteen participants left in Jun Mengchen’s pool of candidates to challenge after minusing Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan.

“The second ranker of Eastern Prefecture, Xia Jiufeng is the only one among those in the top twenty who has the same cultivation base as Jun Mengchen. I wonder if he will choose to challenge Xia Jiufeng?” The hearts of the spectators mused. And as expected, the spectators saw Jun Mengchen’s eyes sweeping over to the location where the participants of the Eastern Prefecture gathered. His gaze locked onto Xia Jiufeng as he spoke, “You, come on up for a battle.”

Xia Jiufeng was the second tanker of the Eastern Prefecture and was also extremely powerful in his own right, resembling a complete madman in battle. He’s an exceedingly terrifying character. Before the banquet, many people all thought very highly of him, feeling that there was a high possibility for him to become part of the top three rankers.

But as the immortal banquet proceeded, outstanding individuals appeared one after another. Not to mention top three, even reaching the top ten might be a problem.

Xia Jiufeng soon appeared before Jun Mengchen. The two of them stared at each other and almost simultaneously, an incomparably savage aura gushed forth from both of them as their constellations appeared in the sky.

Jun Mengchen’s constellation was a towering figure of a king that manifested a silhouette behind his back. It was extremely unique, different from most ordinary constellations. It was fused together with his true intents, forming a king phantom of inconceivable might.

Xia Jiufeng’s constellation shared some similarities with that of Jun Mengchen. Jun Mengchen’s constellation was in the form of a human while Xia Jiufeng’s was a beast-type. Even so, it was a ox king demon beast in the form of a minotaur, standing upright like a human with horns on its head. It was brown and stood over tens of meters tall, exuding an inconceivably terrifying energy.

One was like a human war king, one was like a terrifying crazed demon king. The two of them instantly rushed each other as Jun Mengchen suddenly roared with power. The terrifying king phantom behind him mirrored his actions as both Jun Mengchen and the king phantom launched their attacks. Demonic beasts and divine weapons manifested from their attacks and swept wildly across the battlefield, causing waves of violent qi to ravage the air, destroying everything in existence.

Xia Jiufeng roared in rage, as did the minotaur king. He punched out with both his fists, the might he exuded churned the air into chaos. A stampede of terrifying oxen demons rushed straight at Jun Mengchen, causing the entire space to tremble as they matched blows after blows, strength against strength.

“Attacks are the root of stellar martial cultivators. For all super strong experts, their attacks definitely have to be domineering. For this batch of participants, there are too many fearsomely powerful attackers.” The spectators felt their hearts trembling as they watched on. Before this, Gusu Tianqi, Mo Wen, Feather King and Gu Zhantian, all of their attacks were unfathomably domineering.

Jun Mengchen’s attacks were too tyrannical, resembling a war king. While Xia Jiufeng’s attacks were incomparably wild. Their clashes could be described as world-shaking and for a long period of time, the shockwaves from their attacks rumbled their surroundings, even forming spatial cracks.

“KILL!” Jun Mengchen roared. A boundless king light radiated from him as his physique grew more imposing. Every one of his attacks were filled with the aura of a king, containing crushing force making everyone want to prostrate themselves before him. Just a casual attack from could annihilate everything in the four directions.

The pressure Xia Jiufeng was enduring grew even greater. He threw his head back and howled to the skies as his constellation manifested an incomparably gigantic ox silhouette that blotted out the sky.

Xia Jiufeng soared up in the air, staring at Jun Mengchen as he spoke, “You will lose for sure.”

As the sound of his voice faded, he roared again, punching out with his fists. Instantly, the horde of demonic oxen multiplied. The thunderous sounds from their clash was so loud that it rumbled the ear drums of the spectators. The attack by a single ox was already incomparably powerful let alone an attack by a stampede of oxen numbering in the several tens of thousands. How crazy was this? All existences would be crushed before them.

Jun Mengchen also soared up into the skies. Upon feeling the waves of destruction gushing over to him, a dazzling king armor enveloped him. The king phantom behind him radiated a resplendent glow as a divine holy halo circulated around him.

“How can you defeat me?” Jun Mengchen stood arrogantly in the air, exuding a feeling of majesticness. The first demonic ox slammed into him, exploding into nothingness from the impact but it couldn’t even shatter his king armor.

“RUMBLE~” The stampede continued to smash into Jun Mengchen but was of no effect at all. Upon seeing this scene, Xia Jiufeng could only stand there dumbfounded, not daring to believe his eyes.

“This…”

Even the spectators were stunned. Jun Mengchen, how terrifying was he? Earlier, if it wasn’t for him being poisoned due to carelessness, there was simply no need for him to go all out when facing against the disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King.

Xia Jiufeng’s expression drastically changed. Although that wasn’t his full power, he was still badly stunned by the sight. Upon seeing this scene, his conviction and self confidence all crumbled apart as the color of his face turned as pale as paper.

Jun Mengchen moved closer and closer, Xia Jiufeng couldn’t help but to sigh in his heart. There were simply too many outstanding characters among this batch of participants.

“I concede.” Xia Jiufeng spoke, admitting his defeat. He was thoroughly convinced of Jun Mengchen’s strength.

“Thanks for the guidance.” Jun Mengchen spoke as he retracted his king’s aura. The two of them left the platform together.

When Jun Mengchen returned to the location of the Cloud Prefecture, he smiled to Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan, appearing like a sunshine-young man once again. It was basically impossible to imagine how wild he was during his battles. His performance earlier was such that even Gu Zhantian felt some fear in his heart, getting more and more worried for his incoming battle against Jun Mengchen.

If his cultivation base was suppressed to the same level as Jun Mengchen, would he be able to defeat Jun Mengchen?

How strong exactly is Jun Mengchen? Has he gone all out already? Has he reached his limits?

Nobody knew. Other than the time when he was infected by the blood poison, there was no one who could force Jun Mengchen to his limits. And back then during the time when he was poisoned, he used only a single punch to obliterate his opponent, radiating the same divine glow earlier.

“Senior brother, it’s your turn now.” Jun Mengchen didn’t bothered about the shocked spectators. He spoke to Qin Wentian. Right now, the three of them only have a single goal – to reach the top three!

At the very least, one of them has to be one of the top three rankers. They wanted nothing more than to harshly smack the Deepflame Immortal King’s face.

Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly before slowly making his way forward. Upon stepping up the battle platform, his gaze swept over to the participants, causing the spectators to wonder who he would choose to challenge.

Only to see at this moment, Qin Wentian’s gaze turned to the Deepflame Immortal King as a mocking smile curled his lips.

He will let the Deepflame Immortal King see the end result; but before that, it’s about time to settle the grudge between himself and Blackpeak.

“I challenge, the personal disciple of the Deepflame Immortal King, Blackpeak.” Qin Wentian’s voice turned to frosty, intentionally adding the Deepflame Immortal King’s name in his words. There was no need to doubt the meaning behind it!

He wanted to use Blackpeak as a way to smack the Deepflame Immortal King’s face once again, letting all these spectators see how he would defeat Blackpeak!

Chapter 866: Trampled

 

The Deepflame Immortal King sat there, turning his gaze on the silhouette of the young man who stood there standing in arrogance.

Right now, it was as though the confidence in Qin Wentian’s eyes was telling the Deepflame Immortal King that it would be effortless for him to defeat Blackpeak. This battle was nothing more than something Qin Wentian would use to humiliate him.

The Deepflame Immortal King didn’t say anything, he merely swept his gaze over to Blackpeak, hoping his disciple wouldn’t disappoint him.

Blackpeak walked towards the battle platform. Even before he stepped onto it, a terrifying aura was already gushing forth from him. A destructive abyss appeared as powerful abyssal flames that could devour anything circulated around him, causing the hearts of spectators to be filled with terror.

“Your cultivation base is higher, it will be suppressed.” Dongsheng Ting spoke. After which, an immortal king waved his hands as a terrifying diagram appeared in the air above the platform. This diagram radiated a light that covered both Qin Wentian and Blackpeak, and an instant later, Blackpeak’s cultivation base was suppressed to the same level as that of Qin Wentian.

Blackpeak’s constellation was unleashed as his aura grew increasingly stronger. Stretching his hand outwards, black abyssal flames could be seen crackling within his palm, containing a terrifying destructive energy that grew increasingly more powerful.

“Blackpeak followed the Deepflame Immortal King and roamed the immortal realms to temper himself. His attacks would definitely be terrifying. As for Qin Wentian, he’s also someone unfathomable, possessing immeasurable potential. Before this, Qin Wentian humiliated Blackpeak saying that he spared his life back during one of the earlier rounds. Let’s see if Blackpeak can cleanse his humiliation through this battle.”

The spectators only saw the two of them standing there unmoving but the aura from them gushed forth endlessly, rapidly climbing upwards in intensity.

The destructive energy within the black abyssal flames crackled and blazed threateningly. His abyss constellation was seemingly able to devour even the heavens and earth.

“Those arrogant words you spoke earlier, if you are unable to prove them with your actions, would you even still have the face to continue living on this world?” Blackpeak stepped forth, giving off a dangerous feeling.

At this moment, Qin Wentian’s aura was also gushing forth furiously. His violet-golden suppression constellation was extremely dazzling. A towering figure of suppression appeared behind his back and with an explosive boom, dazzling light radiated from him as he unleashed the immortal battle art. When basking in that battle light, he resembled a divinity of war.

“Rumble!” Swishing sounds akin to tidal waves rang out as the light radiating from him formed a resplendent battle halo. He unleashed the second level of his battle art, causing the battle might exuding from him to increase explosively.

“What secret art is this? It seems similar to the energy Gusu Tianqi cultivated.”

“Eastern Sage Cliff.” Those experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect understood upon seeing this scene. This art he was using was none other than an immortal battle art left behind by an extremely powerful immortal king senior as an inheritance within the Eastern Sage Cliff. Only those whose comprehension abilities are exceedingly strong have a chance of gaining insight into this battle art.

“In such a short span of time, he actually accomplished the same as Gusu Tianqi, and comprehended the second level of the immortal battle art.” An expert spoke in a low voice.

“This battle art inheritance is different from the other inheritances of the Eastern Sage Cliff. There are many who immersed themselves for many years but they couldn’t even comprehend it in the slightest. Comprehension of this art has nothing to do with the amount of time spent on it. For those with weak comprehension abilities, they would have no way to gain any insights into this battle art.”

“Right. Seeing how this Qin Wentian is able to comprehend till the second level of this battle art, it’s already an indication of how strong his comprehension abilities are.”

And just when they were speaking, an even more resplendent light radiated forth from Qin Wentian. Right now, he resembled a true God of battle, his entire person undergoing a transformation. Battle light circulated around him, forming an incomparably resplendent armor.

“Third level!” Several immortal kings froze as they stared at Qin Wentian. Previously he had used the immortal battle art before but this was the first time he unleashed the third level. Given the short amount of time the participants spent at the Eastern Sage Cliff, Qin Wentian had actually accomplished something the vast majority of the disciples would never achieve.

“Monstrous comprehension.” Someone sighed.

At this moment, Blackpeak’s countenance was extremely unsightly. His aura grew stronger and stronger bit by bit, giving off a sense of extreme danger. However for Qin Wentian, his aura instantly shot through the roof, growing stronger by several folds, causing Blackpeak to feel goosebumps all over his skin.

Right now, a blood colored glow circulated around Qin Wentian. His eyes shimmered with a demonic light and with just a glance at his opponent, his Dreamworld Constellation was unleashed. Blackpeak felt himself being dragged into the dreamscape of Qin Wentian. He gave a roar of rage as he erupted forth with his aura, yet he only found himself being pressured endlessly.

“At the same level of cultivation, what capabilities do you have to fight against me?” Qin Wentian spoke in cold arrogance. Runic light flowed dazzlingly as the intensity of the already resplendent armor continued to increase, causing Blackpeak to feel a sense of dread. How many more trump cards did the person in front of him have? And how strong was Qin Wentian exactly?

“Rumble~” Qin Wentian’s physique continuously expanded transforming more than 100 meters in size as he stared down with disdain at Blackpeak. Right now, in front of him, Blackpeak was so tiny and inconsequential, nothing more than an insignificant being.

Blackpeak, what capabilities does he have to fight against Qin Wentian.

Blackpeak inclined his head and stared at Qin Wentian. His state of heart changed incessantly and as Qin Wentian’s aura grew stronger, his self-confidence grew weaker.

At this moment, he no longer had that indomitable conviction he had before. In addition, he was already defeated by Qin Wentian back then at the Eastern Sage Cliff and there was already a dark shadow in his heart that was devouring his conviction and confidence.

“BOOM!” Qin Wentian stepped out, as an earth-shattering bell chime echoed through the air, causing Blackpeak’s heart to tremble.

“What capabilities do you have to fight against me?” Qin Wentian asked again, his voice drifting into Blackpeak’s ears. At the center of his brows, a demonic glint flashed in his third eye and in just an instant, Blackpeak felt a bolt of lightning gushing into his mind. It was as though Qin Wentian was drilling into his consciousness with supreme might, wanting to break his will apart.

“Suppression!”

Qin Wentian’s palms blasted downwards. His palm imprint that’s shimmering with runic light seemed to contain a hint of suppression-type law energy, causing even the void to be suppressed. This energy was able to suppress the heavens and earth. The Fiendgod Heavenly Suppression Art could even KILL immortals and demons.

Terrifying deafening sounds erupted. Blackpeak struggled valiantly and when he finally broke free of Qin Wentian’s will attack, he only saw a gigantic palm imprint smashing down towards him, containing indomitable force within.

Blackpeak instantly paled. Right now, he had a sense that he was unable to block this strike. This single palm from Qin Wentian shattered his confidence completely. Howling in rage, his destructive energy surged upwards but upon meeting that suppressive annihilation palm strike, everything directly collapsed into nothingness.

That palm was too fast. So fast that it transformed into divine might, as though a God itself wanted to eradicate Blackpeak.

Despair flashed in Blackpeak’s eyes. He was about to concede this match.

“BOOM!” A heaven-shaking bell chime reverberated the air, the timing was impeccable, drowning out Blackpeak’s voice completely. It was as though Blackpeak didn’t speak at all.

A look of terror painted Blackpeak’s face and with a resounding boom the battle platform trembled violently, as the sounds of the bell chimes echoed endlessly, sounding like a death knell.

The palm imprint completely engulfed Blackpeak, the eyes of the spectators all widened in incredulous disbelief, as though they didn’t dare to believe what they were seeing.

Blackpeak, the disciple of the Deepflame Immortal King, was about to be killed by Qin Wentian in a single strike?

The Fiendgod Heavenly Suppression Art could even kill immortals and demons. In addition, Qin Wentian had even used the third level of the immortal battle art along with his numerous trump cards. This was naturally sufficient to one-shot Blackpeak, not giving him any chance at all.

This battle was precisely for the purpose of claiming Blackpeak’s life.

“Hu…” Even the immortal kings were startled as they looked upon that immense figure of Qin Wentian. Blackpeak was the personal disciple of the Deepflame Immortal King but he was actually killed in a single strike by this young man? Qin Wentian truly dared to kill him!

Also, given their judgement, how could they not have realized that Blackpeak was about to concede? However because Qin Wentian wanted his life, he used the thunderous bell chimes to drown out the voice of Blackpeak pleading for mercy.

Qin Wentian steeled his heart, wanting the life of his opponent.

He had accomplished what he set out for. Reaping Blackpeak’s life with a single strike, not giving him any chance for survival at all.

This basically was equivalent to harshly slapping the Deepflame Immortal King’s face in front of everyone present. In fact, this was simply trampling on his face using the most direct and brash method to do so, humiliating the Deepflame Immortal King.

Didn’t the Deepflame Immortal King hold Qin Wentian in contempt? Didn’t he say that it was impossible for Qin Wentian to become one of the top three rankers?

Then, what about his own disciple? I, Qin Wentian, killed your disciple in a single strike on the battle platform, in front of all the spectators.

The face of the Deepflame Immortal King was ruthlessly stomped on. From before where he didn’t mind the existence of Qin Wentian, to now where he was completely enraged. He was infuriated not because of Blackpeak’s death. In fact, it was because of Blackpeak’s uselessness that allowed Qin Wentian to use the most direct and brutal method to trample his face. This useless disciple had thrown all his prestige away.

The Deepflame Immortal King’s face turned completely black. Especially so when he saw Qin Wentian staring at him in a victorious manner on the battle platform; with a mocking expression in his eyes, ridiculing him, a supreme immortal king.

“The personal disciple of Senior Deepflame Immortal King seemed to be somewhat useless?” Qin Wentian ignored the dark look on Deepflame Immortal King’s face as he spoke casually, harshly adding another stomp on the already trampled face of the Deepflame Immortal King. This stomp, was just too painful!
