Ancient Godly Monarch - Chapter 875
Chapter 875: End Of The Second Test
Qin Wentian’s will was brought into the bloody world for the third time. The eyes of the devil king were ice cold, staring at Qin Wentian as a blood saber materialized in his hands again.
Qin Wentian coldly returned the gaze. His eyes were filled with a terrifying persistence as he spoke in a glacial tone, “You destroying my will is akin to destroying my life, causing my sea of consciousness to be damaged; easily forcing me back, wanting me to close my eyes and not match the eyes of the devil statue.”
His voice was like ice, when his will entered the statue, the devil king destroyed it immediately.
“You want to force me back with a single strike leading to my ranking becoming the last. Who are you exactly?” Qin Wentian questioned.
As the sound of his voice faded, a frightening aura gushed forth the devil king. It didn’t reply, it only looked silently back at Qin Wentian as he slashed out another strike. Whistling sounds echoed through the air as an arm of Qin Wentian was cleaved away. He was in incomparable pain, as blood flowed and pooled around his feet.
“Indeed, this will is controlled by someone.” Qin Wentian lifted his head and stared at the devil king. Before this, he was merely suspicious but right now, he could already be completely sure.
That devil king within the statue had its own conscious or it wouldn’t act as it did.
Qin Wentian’s will was brought into the blood world once more. Despite it being a wisp of his will, he still possessed all of his senses. The purpose of this kind of slaughtering was to make Qin Wentian struggle amidst pain and agony, wanting him to be defeated in spirit, resulting in him being eliminated.
Yet another saber beam slashed down, cleaving away his remaining arm. Yet, he still continued standing there. His entire body was spasming from the pain but his eyes were still ruthlessly fixed on the devil king ahead.
Blood light flashed as the saber beam cleaved down right into Qin Wentian’s head, inching nearer and nearer as though the devil king was intentionally doing this to drag out his death, wanting to break Qin Wentian’s will.
Qin Wentian’s true body on the platform shuddered as he groaned in pain. Fresh blood seeped from his lips as his countenance was paler than paper. Taking a few steps backwards, his will was drawn into the statue once more as the torture and slaughter continued. This degree of pain was sufficient to collapse the will of people, it was nothing but a hellish torture.
“HAHA, to think that the devil statue has a mind of its own and knows how to torture and abuse me. COME, BRING IT ON AGAIN!” Qin Wentian laughed maniacally. The eyes of the statue gleamed as the vortex drew Qin Wentian’s will in once again. Right now, only Qin Wentian’s voice could be heard resounding through the air.
The expressions on the faces of all the spectators froze as they turned their attentions onto Qin Wentian. The eyes of several experts gleamed with sharpness when they heard his words.
The statue has a mind of its own and was abusing him?
Moments later, the spectators turned to Dongsheng Ting only to see Dongsheng Ting was as calm as ever, appearing as though nothing was of concern. He replied, “This test by the devil statue is extremely tough and it treats all the participants in the same manner, abusing and killing their wills, allowing them to experience a brutal baptism. It’s a test to see who can last until the end.”
Dongsheng Ting intentionally explained to everyone but was this truly the case? Qin Wentian’s will was the weakest among the ten? Why would his reaction be so intense?
Also, what did Qin Wentian mean when he said that the devil statue had a mind of its own? Was it merely him finding excuses?!
Clearly, although there were suspicions in the hearts of the immortal kings, they didn’t speak their thoughts. This was the immortal banquet organized by the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and the rules were set by Dongsheng Ting. The immortal kings from the Easter Sage Immortal Sect naturally understood what they should do and the immortal kings guests also wouldn’t speak nonsensically.
The spectators only saw Qin Wentian being forced out again and again as blood flowed continuously from the sides of his mouth. However, Qin Wentian was not the one affected, the other participants showed similar signs of enduring intense pain as well.
Finally, one of the participants could no longer endure it and shifted his eyes away. It was none other than the top ranker of the Qian Prefecture, Ye Qianchen.
The powerful Ye Qianchen was actually the first to be eliminated from this second round of testing.
What power was contained within this statue exactly?
In the depths of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, within a palace, a towering figure was sitting there cross-legged. He was none other than a mighty devil-cultivator. Right now, his eyes were closed as devil qi permeated the area around him but the entirety of his will was currently in a place extremely far away – at the center of the battle platform, inside the devil statue.
“How stubborn.” A low and cold voice issued from this devil cultivator. His eyes opened as a trace of coldness flickered within. Those blood-red eyes of his were like a devil from the deep abyss and bore a striking resemblance to the devil king which manifested inside that world of blood and darkness within the devil statue.
He used all methods he could think of to abuse and torture that brat, yet this Qin Wentian actually has not given up. In this case, he had no choice but to also act more ruthlessly to the others. If the intentional targeting was too obvious, his highness Dongsheng Ting would surely be suspected.
Regretfully, only his immortal sense could enter the statue while he himself had to be isolated here far away from the test location. If not, his presence would definitely be discovered by the various immortal kings and that would only be equivalent to smacking the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect’s face.
“I want to see how long can you persist exactly.” That devil-cultivator coldly spoke as he slaughtered Qin Wentian’s will once again. Even if his will was made of iron, he shouldn’t be able to withstand this endless torment right?
Since the will of the devil statue was controlled by his subordinate, Dongsheng Ting naturally could fix the ranking of this second round just like what he did during the first.
During the first round, as long as the Dream Demon King was willing to, he could arrange the rankings as he saw fit because all ten participants were within his dreamscape.
Now during the second round, although it was carried out in the darkness, the ten rankers were on the platform and their reactions were visible to all. Although his will was restricted somewhat, the devil king could still influence the round of testing. An example was the intensity of attacks he dealt to the participants.
Hence from a certain perspective, this seemingly ‘fair’ second round of testing was the same as the first.
But no matter what, from the perspective of the spectators, this second round of testing was naturally extremely fair. If it wasn’t for Qin Wentian speaking up earlier, they would never suspect anything at all.
A howl of rage rend the air as a second participant chose to avert his gaze. This time, it was the second ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture, Qin Ta. His combat prowess was extremely strong but his will was slightly weaker than the others. Hence, he was eliminated.
The third person to be eliminated was actually Zi Qingxuan. Before this during the first round of testing, she was also the third to be eliminated.
Zi Qingxuan’s countenance was pale, she stared at the devil statue before her as coldness flashed within her eyes. She withstood plenty of the torture but finally, as her will was about to break apart, she could persist no longer and could only choose to retreat.
Yet, the coldness in her eyes was actually a simmering fire of her rage. She also could sense that the devil statue was controlled by somebody. But what could she do or say?
If the devil king wanted to target someone, the person of his choice would naturally be none other than Qin Wentian.
If it wasn’t for Qin Wentian steeling himself and persisted ruthlessly, he would have been eliminated long ago.
This final test was split into three rounds. For the first round, Qin Wentian was already ranked last.
Now for the second round of testing, if he was ranked at the bottom as well, even if his performance during the final round was extremely dazzling, having unmatched combat prowess, it would still be tough to get into the top three.
He had to stretch his own limits and do his best to persist as long as possible.
He cannot lose to the test again.
With a roar of rage, Qin Wentian’s will was cleaved apart once more. And an instant later, his will was immediately drawn into the world of blood and darkness – a continuous cycle of torment with no end in sight.
The remaining seven participants were all doing their best, pushing their limits and finally, Jun Mengchen could no longer endure it. Although he had done his best, he could no longer persist any longer. For this round, he was ranked 7th.
Qin Wentian was still persisting. He actually started to step closer to the devil statue of his own volition. Every step he took caused his body to tremble violently, filled with the determination of his blood.
“Senior brother, just give up…” Jun Mengchen persuaded upon seeing how much Qin Wentian was struggling. He knew how much pain Qin Wentian was enduring every time his will was transported inside that world of blood and darkness. That perverse devil king was using the most brutal methods to torment him.
Qin Wentian didn’t give up. Mo Wen failed to persist and was ranked #6.
“Only the top five positions remain.” Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan clenched their fists tightly. Under such unfair circumstances, Qin Wentian could actually still be ranked within the top five.
In order not to be too obvious, right now, the other participants were suffering the same intensity of attacks as Qin Wentian. The next participant to be eliminated was Ruthless. Even he who was a cultivator of the devil arts could persist no longer and was ranked #5 in this second round of testing.
The mighty Feather King also averted his gaze finally.
“Only the top three spots are left now.” Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan carried on monitoring. But now, the other two remaining participants also had extremely strong and resolute wills. After a period of time, Qin Wentian finally coughed out blood as he shifted his eyes away. He was knocked back from the impact and his entire body was convulsing and drenched in sweat. Even his aura was fluctuating wildly.
His ranking was fixed at #3 for this second round of testing.
“Senior!” Jun Mengchen’s silhouette flickered as he sped towards Qin Wentian.
“No worries.” Qin Wentian swept a glance over to the two remaining participants. Being able to obtain the #3 rank was already sufficient.
Next, he sat down cross-legged as his blood stirred. A white candle flame started circulating within his body, gradually recovering the fatigue and damage taken to his will and spirit.
The last two participants were still persisting.
Finally, the first who failed to endure was actually Gusu Tianqi. Hua Taixu’s powerful will persisted till the very end.
“Hua Taixu is the last participant remaining, he defeated Gusu Tianqi and is ranked #1 for the second round of testing.
“Gusu Tianqi and Hua Taixu… For the first round, Gusu Tianqi was ranked first and Hua Taixu was ranked second. Now for the second round, their rankings reversed. As long as their performance during the last round was as outstanding as the first two, their spots in the top three would almost already be guaranteed.” The eyes of the crowd flickered, before glancing back to Qin Wentian. He persisted so frenziedly, enduring the immense pain and finally managed to get into the top three rankings for the second round. Most probably, he also wanted to do his best and fight for a spot in the top three rankings!
Chapter 876: The Last Battle
Dongsheng Ting stared at the participants before speaking, “Move the statue away.”
As the sound of his voice faded, those experts responsible for bringing the statue here appeared once again to move it away. Of the ten participants several were already sitting cross-legged, recovering through mediation. Clearly, their will and spirit had suffered some damage.
“As expected of being the strongest geniuses among the thirteen prefectures, being able to persist this long. Now, let me announce the rankings for the second round of testing. The top ten rankers for this round are: #1 Hua Taixu, #2 Gusu Tianqi, #3 Qin Wentian, #4 Feather King, #5 Ruthless, #6 Mo Wen, #7 Jun Mengchen, #8 Zi Qingxuan, #9 Qin Ta and #10 Ye Qianchen.”
“This second round of testing destroyed your will, it’s an extremely brutal form of tempering. Since all of you could persist this long, this means that your wills are resolute and you will definitely accomplish great things in the future.”
Dongsheng Ting spoke with a smile, his voice echoing through the area, giving no hints to his real thoughts. Acting as though there was nothing behind the scenes at all and everyone was treated fairly.
“Crackled.” Jun Mengchen clenched his fist, staring at Dongsheng Ting. However, he didn’t say anything this time and merely sat there silently. The final round would be a test of combat prowess, and nobody could control the ending except the participants themselves. As for what happened earlier, even if he raised some objections, it would all be useless. This place was the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
Since that was the case, he would rather calm down his heart and prepare for the final battle.
“Seems like everyone is tired. Let’s take a break first then. Servants, come and serve up more delicacies for the participants. Let’s wait for the start of the final battle to determine the ultimate ranking of the participants.” Dongsheng Ting waved his sleeves, and those female servants behind started to bring the delicacies and fragrant wine up the platform for the participants. These were all valuable food on the level of immortal-ranked pills, able to aid in the recovery of injuries.
The participants weren’t polite, enjoying the food and wine while they mediated in recovery.
“Drink up!” Jun Mengchen directly drained a flask of wine as he spoke.
The first round of testing resulted in him ranking sixth while the second round of testing resulted in him ranking seventh.
But he, Jun Mengchen, was here for the position of the top three rankers. Obtaining such dissatisfactory results caused his heart to be filled with fire and he wanted nothing more for the third round to start faster so he could vent out all his frustrations.
Right now he was like a live volcano. Once he erupted, the ending would be very terrifying.
During the immortal banquet, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. No one doubted the fairness of the tests. Naturally, those who knew would also keep quiet as they stared at the participants on the platform.
“Gusu Tianqi and Hua Taixu, why do I feel they are already the top two of this event?” An immortal king laughed.
“Yeah, I feel this way as well. The two of them should almost be guaranteed to be ranked #1 and #2. Clearly, their combat prowess would not be weak. As long as they manage to get into the top three for the final battle, their rankings would be fixed for sure. As for the position of the third ranker, it should be either Feather King or Ruthless. Feather King has a higher probability.”
“Mhm, this top ranker of the Western Prefecture is extremely strong. In this batch, Gusu Tianqi of the Eastern Prefecture is almost unrivalled, while Feather King of the Western Desert Prefecture is lofty and tyrannical. Also, for the Cloud Prefecture…” An immortal king sighed as he mentioned the Cloud Prefecture. “The Cloud Prefecture…what a pity.”
“Yeah, it’s somewhat of a pity for the Cloud Prefecture. The three participants from the Cloud Prefecture all managed to get into the top ten. Such an incident is truly unprecedented.” An immortal king sighed. In the direction where the Cloud Prefecture people were seated, the eyes of the Idlecloud Immortal King stared at the battle platform as he felt somewhat indignant in his heart. He could also faintly sense the strangeness of the devil statue. Qin Wentian and the two others seemed to have been targeted.
This was especially so after the confrontation between the Deepflame Immortal King and Qin Wentian. After seeing that, he could guess at some things. According to the information he received, back during the recruitment test on a particle world Qin Wentian defied the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s good intentions. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor even wanted to give him a second chance but chose to forsake him at the very end. This time, if Qin Wentian managed to enter the top three, wouldn’t the prestige and face of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor be affected? Hence, there was completely no way Dongsheng Ting would allow Qin Wentian and his sect members to enter the top three.
The Idlecloud Immortal King could only sigh in his heart. Although he knew that was something going on in the shadows, as part of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, there was no way he could say anything and berate Dongsheng Ting. He could only lament silently for Qin Wentian and the two others.
Do they really have no fate with the top three ranks?
However, only the Idlecloud Immortal King was feeling this way among people from the Cloud Prefecture. The others were all rejoicing in the misfortune of Qin Wentian and his fellow sect members. The three of them would have no hope at all.
In addition, Dongsheng Ting and the Deepflame Immortal King didn’t seem to have a good opinion towards them. If they couldn’t obtain the top three rankings, they would not be able to become Sage Child characters in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Then…what status would they have? Even if they entered the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, given their personalities and conflict with the Deepflame Immortal King, they would only be played to death. Of course, they could also choose not to join the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
Right now, the Deepflame Immortal King kept his silence and no longer argued with Qin Wentian nor did he try to provoke him. His disciple Blackpeak was killed publicly by Qin Wentian earlier, and he was challenged again and again by Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen. If it was an ordinary character, there was no way they would be able to endure it but the Deepflame Immortal King did so. He wanted to see how badly Qin Wentian and his fellow sect members would struggle as all their hard work eventually amounted to nothing.
Also, once this immortal banquet concludes. They shall pay the price for their earlier words and actions.
If Qin Wentian and his two friends wanted to join the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, he simply had too many methods to take their lives.
……..
Time flowed by and finally, Dongsheng Ting turned his gaze onto the battle platform and asked, “Has everyone rested enough?”
The ten participants all opened their eyes respectively, waking from their meditation as dazzling light gleamed within.
From the preliminaries in the prefectures and all the tests they have undergone, everything was for this moment – the final battle.
However, a few of them were already dispirited. For example, Ye Qianchen and Qin Ta. For both rounds, they ranked within the very bottom. The chance they can become part of the top three was extremely low.
However since they have reached this point, only the final battle remains. No matter what, they had to go all out to showcase their brilliance. If they could suppress everyone here and allow their radiance to shine, they might still have an opportunity.
All ten of the participants, including Gusu Tianqi who always seemed indifferent, had a dazzling light flashing through his eyes. Evidently, he was filled with anticipation for this final battle. He, Gusu Tianqi, will definitely obtain the first ranking.
He would be ranked first among all the geniuses of the thirteen prefectures. Although Gusu Tianqi grew up with many glorious labels attached to his name, this glory of being right at the peak was still extremely resplendent.
The ten of them stood upon the platform. A mild wind gusted by, fluttering the long robes on their body as a formless battle qi gushed forth from all of them, sweeping past the spectators and judges. Everyone could clearly feel how intense their will to battle was.
“As expected of the strongest ten. Just the battle intent from them alone is sufficient to tell how badly they want to obtain the top three spots.” An immortal king laughed as his eyes gleamed like torches. This battle shall be the final round of testing of the immortal banquet, concluding everything.
Although there were also rankings for the first two rounds, this final round was the most important.
For example, although Gusu Tianqi and Hua Taixu’s performance was extremely outstanding in the first two rounds, if they ranked in the bottom few for this last round, they would definitely not be part of the top three.
The most important criteria of all was naturally the individual’s combat prowess. If one lacks strength, what qualifications does he or she have to become the top three?
Also, for Qin Wentian who was ranked the last during the first round, if he could suppress all the participants in this final battle, causing his radiance to illuminate the crowd, he would also have an opportunity to become part of the top three. This was how heavy the weightage of the final round is.
“Carry out the suppression.” Dongsheng Ting spoke. In the air, a treasure shone brilliantly as its light enveloped the participants on the platform, suppressing their cultivation bases to the same level. The battle was about to begin.
“There are no rules for this battle, you can fight as you wish, it’s fine even if you turn everything topsy-turvy. The only thing that is forbidden is that no one can gang up against the others.” Dongsheng Ting spoke. “Let the battle begin.”
As the sound of Dongsheng Ting’s voice faded, the auras of all the participants which were suppressed began to sweep across the battle platform.
The final battle was a royal rumble.
Terrifying swishing sounds echoed as the battle began. Qin Wentian stood in his original spot unmoving, while the others stood at their locations as well. Their sharp eyes were akin to hunters looking at prey, contemplating who to act against.
“Senior brother, since they want us to be ranked at the bottom, we shall use this round to prove how overwhelming our strength is.” Jun Mengchen spoke. “How should we fight?”
“We will ravage them one by one. Mengchen and Qingxuan, both of you choose your opponents first.” Qin Wentian spoke, his words causing the expressions of the spectators to stiffen. These three were so arrogant.
The ten participants had no weaklings within them, yet the three of them still dared to say such a thing, ravaging them one by one.
“I will choose Ye Qianchen.” Zi Qingxuan stated.
“I choose Qin Ta.” Jun Mengchen stated.
“Fine, I shall act as your protector. After you end the battle, we will swap.” Qin Wentian spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, Jun Mengchen moved towards Qin Ta. A kingly armor enveloped him as a supreme ancient king phantom appeared behind him. He was like a monarch of the ages. At this moment, it like it only he had unleashed his full strength and was able to give vent to all of his frustrations through combat.
Zi Qingxuan’s body radiated with the light from a divine falcon as a pair of beautiful and gigantic wings took form behind her back. With a single flap, she appeared right before Ye Qianchen.
Qin Wentian’s silhouette flickered, appearing right at the center of the platform. A look of cool indifference could be see in his eyes when he swept his gaze over to the other participants, treating them as non-existent.
Such an aura made it as though, out of all the geniuses of the thirteen prefectures, he was unrivalled among them.
Although his ranking wasn’t that outstanding, the sharpness emanating forth from him now was extremely oppressive, giving off a heavy sense of threat.
Qin Ta roared in rage, transforming into a heavenly god that possessed boundless strength. A violent and savage aura ravaged his surroundings as his steps caused the platform to rumble. What did Jun Mengchen take him as? Did Jun Mengchen really think that he is a tool for him to establish his dominance?
Ye Qianchen exuded a boundless elegance, the sword qi from him intensified overwhelmingly, transforming into a tempest of sword qi.
The last battle has started, Qin Wentian and his fellow sect members directly initiated the start of a berserk war!
Chapter 877: Proving Themselves Worthy
Jun Mengchen and Qin Ta started to exchanged blows.
Jun Mengchen’s attacks had always been incomparably tyrannical. He transformed into a supreme king, and borrowed power from the king phantom behind him, causing every blow he unleashed to have the power to shake the heavens and earth.
Qin Ta was an expert from the Heavenly God Race and possessed the innate talent of his race. His body expanded to over ten meters as a thousand foot heavenly god astral soul appeared behind him. He soared up into the air and every one of his attacks caused the space to tremble and collapse before his might.
At this moment, the boundless force descended onto Jun Mengchen but with a single roar of rage, an endless divine light erupted forth from him. His roar shook the entire world, causing chaotic streams of qi to manifest into a tempest that tore apart everything, blocking Qin Ta’s attack.
“He’s completely enraged. Jun Mengchen is using that power of supreme destruction once again.” Many immortal kings in the banquet stared at Jun Mengchen. They knew that once this little fellow was enraged, even the powerful Cang Ao was blasted off with a single punch earlier. His attacks were simply too tyrannical.
Zi Qingxuan and Ye Qianchen’s battle was also extremely fascinating. Zi Qingxuan transformed into a divine falcon and her speed was as fast as lightning. But, Ye Qianchen’s sword wasn’t any bit slower than her.
Ye Qianchen was a pure sword cultivator and his sword arts were too profound. He also used a sword-type astral soul and constellation. Right now, several hundred beams of sword light were slashed out by him, zooming across space wanting to eradicate Zi Qingxuan. In addition, the strength behind each sword was extremely ferocious, imbued with thunderous might.
Zi Qingxuan also unleashed her attacks and speed to the limits. Only her shadow could be seen flashing about but it seemed like she was suppressed by the sword beams. Ye Qianchen’s sword arts could be described as perfect, impenetrable by wind and rain. Be it defense or attack, they were both invulnerable. One cannot lose focus even for the slightest moments when fighting against Ye Qianchen. Sword cultivators are that dangerous, they could seal your life with a single strike, not giving you the space to breathe. Just an instant would be sufficient to determine victory from defeat.
Qin Wentian didn’t seek an opponent, but there were quite a few participants whose auras were extremely fierce as their battle intents soared up into the skies. None of them dared to move recklessly and were in a state of complete focus as they waited.
However right now, Ruthless emitted a terribly baleful aura as his eyes swept over to Qin Wentian who was acting as the protector for Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan. The devil qi from him gushed forth in waves, giving off an extremely terrifying sensation. The instant he stared at Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian felt a heavy and stifling pressure boring down on him. Ruthless’s eyes gleamed with sharpness as he moved towards Qin Wentian.
“Ruthless, the disciple of the Undefeatable Devil King is going to move against Qin Wentian.” There were some among the spectators who were still paying attention to Qin Wentian. This young man’s performance in the second round could said to be pretty good but sadly, he was ranked last during the first round. This last round of testing was his final opportunity if he wished to fight for the top three rankings.
“Bzz!” A devil spear appeared in the hands of Ruthless. Devil might flooded the aura as his aura climbed upwards. At the tip of the devil spear, fearsome runic light shimmered, containing an indomitable and ferocious power.
“The attacks of devil cultivators are originally already savage. After cultivating devil arts, their mortal body is extremely strong and has supreme combat prowess. Their strength is further augmented by the powerful devilish might.” Qin Wentian stared at Ruthless as he activated his immortal battle art. Beams of dazzling light radiated forth and wrapped around him. In just an instant, Qin Wentian was akin to a supreme battle god. Despite merely standing there, the terrifying battle might exuding from him could even topple mountains and overturn oceans.
At the same time, he also activated his Fiendgod Body Refinement Art. The resplendent Sky Devil Oracle Bone was refined long ago and used to temper his body, granting him an insanely high defense.
Similarly, a long spear also appeared in Qin Wentian’s hand, materialized from astral energy. Terrifying runic light also shimmered on the tip of his spear as a startling, heaven-crushing might gushed forth from him.
Ruthless’s eyes flickered with coldness as he rushed towards Qin Wentian while stabbing out with his devil spear. A terrifying swishing sound echoed through the skies as the space shattered apart. The devil might from him transformed into a devil dragon that erupted forward.
His devil spear had the power to penetrate through everything but at the exact same moment, Qin Wentian’s spear also erupted outwards, its spear light was pointing straight at the devil spear.
Two powerful spears were like two bolts of calamity lightning, colliding against each other, spear head against spear head. In just an instant, the two of them felt a tyrannical and powerful force pushing them back.
“KILL!” Ruthless roared. His entire arm was imbued with devil might as he infused even more power into his spear. Qin Wentian’s hands trembled, but the next moment, an overwhelming suppressive might radiated from the tip of his spear. Ruthless was actually forced back a step, and he couldn’t help but to frown because of this unexpected scenario.
However right now, Qin Wentian took large strides as he advanced forward, stabbing out with yet another spear strike. This spear was even more ferocious and smashed through all defenses like a hot knife through butter.
Ruthless howled in madness as he hurriedly retreated, before launching another attack that collided against Qin Wentian’s spear once more. Another terrifying boom rang out as he was forced backwards once again. His devil might towered up the skies as his constellation in the form of numerous ancient devils with long spears suddenly manifested, exuding an unexcelled aura in this world.
Qin Wentian released his constellation as well. His Suppression Annihilative Constellation frenziedly transmitted more suppression-type energy into him.
“BOOM!” Ruthless stomped the ground as the devils in the air howled. Instantly, the devils all lunged towards Qin Wentian, turning the entire world into chaos. He wanted to destroy Qin Wentian with a single attack.
Yet at this same moment, a million of Qin Wentian’s incarnations appeared. The suppression constellation in the air radiated a boundless light, cascading downwards filling him with boundless energy as he unleashed the Heavenly Fiendgod Suppression Art to its maximum. The spears in the hands of a million Qin Wentian’s incarnations, were all emitting a towering suppressive might.
The million Qin Wentians all stabbed out at the same instant, fighting head-on against Ruthless. Regardless of what techniques Ruthless used, Qin Wentian would crush everything with absolute strength, spear against spear.
Boundless suppressive might permeated the atmosphere, when that devil might bore down, the heaven-suppressing spears of Qin Wentian’s incarnations broke through it effortlessly.
This collision trembled the entire space as streams of chaotic qi ravaged the area from the shockwaves born from the impact. Ruthless could feel that he was forcibly suppressed and his boundless devil might was held down. With a loud boom, his body was flung through the air. He hurriedly rammed his devil spear into the platform, using the friction to delay and slow himself. Terrifying sparks and screeching noises echoed through the air and Ruthless only managed to stop the momentum when he was at the very edge of the platform. He couldn’t help but to cough out blood from the damage he had taken.
“You’ve lost.” Ruthless inclined his head only to see Qin Wentian pointing his spear at him, exuding a wild arrogance.
“I can still fight.” Ruthless’s voice was incomparably cold as another wave of devil might gushed forth from him, more violent than before.
“You will still be defeated even if you continued. A demonic light flashed in Qin Wentian’s eyes, right now he was like an almighty supreme demon lord that peered down with disdain on all existences under the heavens. His demonic aura gushed forth, clashing against the devil might exuded by Ruthless.
Ruthless glared at Qin Wentian. He cultivates the devil arts and devil cultivators were all known for their overwhelming tyrannical attacks. Yet he actually lost here. He felt extremely reluctant in his heart.
“The disciple of the Undefeated Devil King, Ruthless, is defeated here. Although the devil arts are tyrannically powerful, this Qin Wentian has already comprehended the third level of the immortal battle art. In addition to his original strength, he’s simply too terrifying.” The spectators stared at Qin Wentian who stood there calmly with the spear in his hands, akin to a descendant of a supreme demon. He seemed like an invincible battle god standing undefeated in the battle field.
Jun Mengchen’s combat had also ended. The overwhelming, miraculous and boundless tyranny he emanated completely ravaged Qin Ta, an expert from the Heavenly God Race. Qin Ta’s strength was already very scary and there was also a hint of law energy in his attacks. But even so, he was still defeated by Jun Mengchen.
At this moment, a sharp screeching noise echoed from the battle between Zi Qingxuan and Ye Qianchen. Ye Qianchen’s sword techniques forced Zi Qingxuan to the extreme, she unleashed her powerful bloodline as her body blazed with golden flames, breaking through the intricacies of Ye Qianchen’s sword with overwhelming power. At the end, despite Ye Qianchen’s sword being mysterious and profound, he was still defeated by Zi Qingxuan.
“The three of them, a complete victory.” The spectators felt somewhat taken aback as they saw this scene.
Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan all used their domineering and arrogant attitudes and stood supreme, defeating the three other participants.
Such a battle achievement was many times more dazzling compared to their rankings in the previous rounds.
For the other participants, Feather King fought against Mo Wen. Their battle was incomparably violent and explosive.
Feather King is a king from the Winged Devil Race of the Western Desert Prefecture, his attacks were naturally extremely fearsome. Mo Wen, the frost queen didn’t lose out as well, conjuring a world of ice around her as the two of them fought within it.
Right now, out of the ten participants, the only two which haven’t fought yet were Gusu Tianqi and Hua Taixu. The two of them didn’t fight against each other but they were boiling with battle intent as they spectated the battles of the other participants.
“Senior brother!” Jun Mengchen called out.
“You fight Ye Qianchen now while Qingxuan fights against Qin Ta. Change of targets.” Qin Wentian replied.
“Good.” Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan nodded, as though Qin Wentian’s words carried an extremely heavy weightage in their hearts. They exchanged targets, Jun Mengchen walked towards Ye Qianchen while Zi Qingxuan moved towards Qin Ta.
“BASTARD!” Qin Ta roared, did the three of them take him as a stepping stone?
After Jun Mengchen defeated him, his senior sister wanted to come and trample on him too?
Ye Qianchen’s countenance also turned ashen. He was the top ranker of Qian Prefecture, a supreme swordsman. Yet Qin Wentian wanted to get Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan to step on him to prove themselves. This was simply nothing but humiliating him.
“Bzz!” His sword qi gushed forth in torrents, sharper than ever before. Ye Qianchen held a sword in his hands as he stomped towards Jun Mengchen. Qin Ta roared in rage, transforming into a heavenly god as he glared at Zi Qingxuan who was in the air.
BATTLE!
“How wild, he wants to trample upon every participants one by one. These three fellow sect members want to ravage the other seven to prove themselves worthy, using such a method to cleanse the shame of their rankings in the previous two rounds.” The eyes of the various immortal kings shone like torches as they stared at Qin Wentian on the battle platform.
Qin Wentian seemed to be the leader of these three. Jun Mengchen’s wild arrogance and explosive nature, Zi Qingxuan’s cool and serious demeanor… yet both of them were willing to listen to him.
As for Qin Wentian himself, he stood at the center of the platform with cool indifference. He had already defeated Ruthless. Next, he might even challenge Hua Taixu and Gusu Tianqi!
Chapter 878: Qin Wentian’s Arrogance
Jun Mengchen was fighting against Ye Qianchen, Zi Qingxuan against Qin Ta. The two of them exchanged opponent.
Feather King was still in combat with Mo Wen. Feather King is a young king of the Winged Devil Race while Mo Wen had a frost king physique, she was simply like a goddess of ice.
As for Gusu Tianqi, he walked towards Ruthless, the disciple of the Undefeatable Devil King.
He Gusu Tianqi was ranked first during the first round and ranked second during the second round. For this final battle, if he were to rank first again, his ultimate tabulated ranking would also be first. But if the top ranking for the last battle was seized by Hua Taixu, he would then have no fate with first place.
He had to be ranked first for this final battle.
Ruthless, the disciple of the Undefeatable Demon King shall be his first fight.
From Gusu Tianqi, heat like the blazing sun radiated forth as a total of nine balls of sunfire appeared in the air above him. These balls of sunfire then gathered at the center of his constellation which was in the form of a furnace, emanating a heat so high in temperature that it could incinerate everything on earth, containing a boundless destructive power.
The devil might from Ruthless towered into the sky as the phantom of an ancient devil with a black devil spear in its hand manifested.
Gusu Tianqi stared at the ancient devil, there were no fluctuations to his expression. Since Qin Wentian could defeat Ruthless, how could he fail to do so? He wanted the position of the top ranker. Qin Wentian also needed to be trampled by him. Right now in his eyes, Qin Wentian, Hua Taixu and Feather King, these three posed the greatest threat to him.
On top of the furnace, an endless divine glow shot out, akin to numerous dazzling blazing long spears. If the light from the spears were directed at people, the heat from them was sufficient to bake a person alive.
Ruthless’ devil might surged. With a wave of his hand, a terrifying pitch-black devil shield manifested as the blazing light beams shot over, successfully blocking Gusu Tianqi’s attack.
Gusu Tianqi waved his hands, as the nine balls of sunfire in the air frenziedly gushed into the furnace as the temperature around started to soar rapidly upwards. After which, rumbling sounds echoed out as a gigantic sun appeared, transforming into a golden sun spear that flew into Gusu Tianqi’s hand. This particular spear contained a boundless heat, able to turn anything in its surroundings into ashes as long as Gusu Tianqi willed it.
Stepping out, the long spear in Gusu Tianqi’s hand erupted forth. The terrifying sun spear penetrated through the space, obliterating everything that obstructed it.
The ancient devil in the air howled. Numerous black spears exploded outwards but when Gusu Tianqi’s sun spear passed by, all of them were burned into cinders. A thunderous boom echoed as the devil shield shattered apart. After which, only when Ruthless’ devil spear personally smashed against Gusu TIanqi’s sun spear did he manage to block this strike of Gusu Tianqi.
Gusu Tianqi stood in his original location as a battle might gushed forth from him. With a wave of his hands, even more sun spears appeared from the furnace, greatly shocking the hearts of the spectators – the power of a single sun spear was already inconceivable, let alone now when there are so many of them.
“Facing against Gusu Tianqi? It’s only obvious Ruthless would be defeated.” The spectators silently mused as they observed.
Gusu Tianqi was too strong. The top ranker of the Eastern Prefecture, a single descendant of nine generations, with all of them being immortal kings…His future achievements would be an immortal king at the lowest as well. He was an innate supreme character from birth.
Ruthless, the disciple of the Undefeatable Devil King. Although his potential was boundless and had tyrannical combat strength, he lost the first battle against Qin Wentian and for this second battle, the one he fought against was none other than Gusu Tianqi. Hence, there was no suspense that he lost.
In this case, Ruthless’ probability of entering the top three rankings would already almost be non-existent.
“The battle between Feather King and Mo Wen is extremely intense.” The immortal kings watched with rapt attention. On the battle platform, a total of four battles were fought at the same time, filling the spectators with fascination as they turned their full attention onto the participants.
At this moment, upon borrowing the power of his constellation, Feather King seemed to be like a devil king of the starry skies. His wings were incomparably resplendent, shimmering with terrifying runic inscriptions. Mo Wen soared into the air, resembling a goddess of ice and snow. Her cold intent completely gushed forth, trying to use the elements in her world of ice to her fullest advantage as she fought against Feather King.
Jun Mengchen’s combat was always the most direct. Ye Qianchen’s sword arts were intricate and profound while Jun Mengchen directly broke through with absolute strength. He transformed into a supreme king and with a single roar, causing the entire world to tremble. There seemed to be demonic beasts, war chariots and boundless chaos generated from him. He was so powerful that he exuded an unexcelled aura in the world. Although Ye Qianchen’s sword arts were powerful, he was still in imminent danger when facing such overwhelming power and was placed in a disadvantageous position, being forcibly suppressed at every turn.
Zi Qingxuan’s battle with Qin Ta was just as fascinating. Zi Qingxuan transformed into a divine falcon while Qin Ta transformed into a heavenly god.
In terms of attacks, it was clear Zi Qingxuan was inferior to Jun Mengchen, she had no way to fight the way her junior brother did, matching strength against strength. She could only depend on her advantage in speed and launch a volley of attacks against Qin Ta.
The speed of the blazing golden divine falcon was simply too fast. Especially so after Zi Qingxuan unleashed the power of her bloodline, which manifested a phantom of a divine falcon that enveloped her completely. In just an instant, her wings flapped over a hundred times as she transformed into a beam of light that arced around the battlefield while launching her attacks. The heavenly god that Qin Ta transformed into could not even touch her.
Qin Ta was completely enraged, the heavenly god constellation hung in the skies, wanting to bury everything underneath.
Zi Qingxuan moved so fast that countless after-images were created, each manifesting divine falcons. In the next moment, all the divine falcons erupted forth with a torrent of attacks at the exact same moment, aiming for Qin Ta.
Qin Ta let out an earth-shattering roar as both his gigantic palms violently smashed out, covering the skies. Deafening rumbling sounds echoed out endlessly, as he crushed a countless number of falcons underneath the might of his palms. But at this moment, a golden-colored falcon was diving right at him. His palms moved to intercept but the speed of the falcon was just too fast, easy bypassing his attacks, slashing out as it aimed for Qin Ta’s head.
Qin Ta’s expressions drastically changed as he brought his palms before his head, protecting it. That golden falcon then changed its aim and gorged out a horizontal line of flesh from his chest before returning back to the air. At this moment if Zi Qingxuan so choose to, she could already dig Qin Ta’s heart out.
Qin Ta lowered his head and glanced at his injuries before returning his gaze back to Zi Qingxuan as he spoke. “Your speed is superior to me, but in terms of attacks, I can overwhelm you.”
“So what? You’ve lost.” Zi Qingxuan emotionlessly spoke. The ending was all that matters.
“I’ve lost indeed.” Qin Ta turned ashen, he had continuously lost two battles. What a humiliation, he already has no hope of being part of the top three.
At this moment, Ye Qianchen roared with reluctance. His entire body was flung through the air. He was also defeated by Jun Mengchen.
Qin Ta and Ye Qianchen were extremely pitiful. The two of them were chosen by Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan, and became stepping stones.
Or more accurately, they were ‘chosen’ by Qin Wentian.
Naturally, this couldn’t be helped. Qin Wentian and his two sect members had poor results during the first two rounds, after being intentionally targeted by Dongsheng Ting. This was the final battle, they had to use the most overwhelmingly and dominant method to gain attention. Even if at the very end they couldn’t be part of the top three due to Dongsheng Ting’s hidden machinations, they would have no regrets as they already did their very best.
They had no way to control the first two rounds of testing at all. This final battle was the only thing they had some modicum of control over. Naturally, they had to do their very best, nobody can stop them.
“Senior brother!” Upon seeing Zi Qingxuan’s battle end, Jun Mengchen called out to Qin Wentian. Who should they fight next??
At this moment, Qin Wentian also discovered that the battle between Feather King and Mo Wen had came to an end. The battle between them shook the heavens and earth, and was extremely intense.
Ultimately, Mo Wen, the disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm still lost to the top ranker of the Western Prefecture, Feather King of the Winged Devil Race.
Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan’s had both fought two battles and should already be enough to leave a deep impression on the immortal kings. But this wasn’t enough yet. Next, for Jun Mengchen, he needed to fight against a ‘heavy-weight,’ to silence everyone in order to do his combat prowess justice.
“Mengchen, fight against Feather King.”
Feather King had already defeated Mo Wen and was initially planning to fight against Ruthless next. As long as Jun Mengchen defeated Feather King in this battle of ‘heavy-weights,’ his remaining opponents should only be Gusu Tianqi and Hua Taixu. The other participants are not worthy of consideration and there’s no need for Jun Mengchen to clash against Mo Wen.
“Okay!” Jun Mengchen’s eyes flickered with excitement. Fighting against Feather King? He was naturally excited. Feather King was one of the strongest few among the ten participants.
“How arrogant.” The experts at the immortal banquet all started with shock. Qin Wentian actually wanted Jun Mengchen to fight against Feather King. How tyrannical was this?
Upon seeing Jun Mengchen walking closer and closer to him, Feather King’s eyes gleamed with sharpness as the violet-gold wings behind his back flickered. Intricate runic networks shimmered on his wings, they were simply akin to an indestructible divine weapon. Earlier during his battle against Mo Wen, just this pair of wings had given Mo Wen an extremely oppressive threat and pressure.
“Qingxuan, fight against Ruthless.” Qin Wentian stated to Zi Qingxuan.
“Okay.” Zi Qingxuan nodded as she walked towards the disciple of the Undefeatable Devil King.
Ruthless had already lost two battles.
“This fellow, it feels as though everything in this final battle among the ten participants is being directed by him.” The spectators stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian stood at the center of the platform as he watched Jun Mengchen launching an attack against Feather King while Zi Qingxuan challenged Ruthless.
In just an instant, two great battles erupted violently on the platform.
This was especially so for the combat between Feather King and Jun Mengchen. Both of them were like supreme kings of their generation. Feather King’s violet-gold wings continuously launched attacks with thunderous might. Jun Mengchen howled in madness, causing the air to tremble. His strength could even shake the heavens and was terrifying to the extreme.
Qin Wentian stared at the four of them fighting. His expression was exceedingly composed and calm. Even he wasn’t sure what trump cards his junior brother had but he knew they would surely be extremely powerful. It felt like Jun Mengchen could borrow strength from a supreme ancient force to augment his strength and despite Feather King’s might, Qin Wentian believed that Jun Mengchen would be victorious.
He had already experienced Ruthless’ combat prowess. Although he was also very strong, Zi Qingxuan should be able to handle it. These two battles were almost already a given.
As for himself, he naturally couldn’t fall behind. He walked towards the back of the platform and stared at Qin Ta and Ye Qianchen. Both of them icily regarded him as their eyes flashed with an intense flame born from their fury.
“Are you two angry?” Qin Wentian swept a glance at them and spoke. “If you are, just come at me together. Although the rules say that we cannot gang up on any single person, I’m willing to fight against both of you at the same time. Neither of you are my match if we fight one-on-one.”
“BOOOOOM!” As the sound of Qin Wentian’s voice faded, Qin Ta stomped harshly on the ground and bellowed in rage. The entire space shook from the force of his shout, and as for Ye Qianchen, a tempest of sword qi gushed forth madly from him.
As part of the ten participants, Qin Wentian actually told them to come at him together because they weren’t a match for him if they fought one-on-one!
Chapter 879: Clear Sky Worldly Diagram
“Qin Wentian you are truly arrogant,” Qin Ta’s voice was hoarse. He transformed into ten meter tall giant, resembling a heavenly god as he stared down with disdain at Qin Wentian. Behind him, the silhouette of a towering 1,000 meter giant manifested.
Qin Ta is the second ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture, someone of the Heavenly God Race. During the last few battles, he was actually consecutively defeated twice in a row. Right now, Qin Wentian even stated so arrogantly that he wanted the two of them to come at him together. This arrogance exuded by Qin Wentian was simply unexcelled in this world.
Boundless sword might exuded from Ye Qianchen as he stepped closer and closer to Qin Wentian. His ranking in the previous two rounds wasn’t ideal either and wasn’t he also filled with an intense battle intent? He wanted to prove himself during this final battle. In this case, even if he couldn’t become a Sage Child, there was still a chance that other immortal kings would accept him as a personal disciple.
But right now, he became a stepping stone for Qin Wentian.
The two of them were actually preparing to gang up on Qin Wentian. But this was what Qin Wentian wanted, and his words were heard by all in the banquet. In that case, so be it. Qin Wentian shall pay the price for his arrogance.
“BOOM!” A shimmering runic glow covered Qin Wentian’s body, circulating around it, the outer layer resembling a fiendgod armor. His body size also expanded to ten meters tall, the same size as Qin Ta and there was also a dazzling pair of golden roc wings behind him that flapped incessantly. Every time they flapped, a wild tempest would manifest and ravage the surroundings.
His violet-gold astral soul flashed as his suppression constellation appeared in the skies. It exuded a boundless suppressive might. His right hand held a sharp sword that sparkled with blood-colored light, it was like a king’s sword, able to lord over everything in this world.
The runic lights shimmering in his gigantic left palm contained an extremely fearsome might within.
Qin Ta and Ye Qianchen got closer and closer, and upon feeling the might emanating from Qin Wentian, their countenances got colder and colder.
At this moment, Qin Wentian activated the immortal battle art as a radiant glow radiated forth from him as his demeanor become something akin to an indomitable battle king.
“BANG, BANG, BANG!” Qin Wentian activated the third level of the battle art right from the get go. Right now, Qin Wentian was like a supreme unparalleled king where nobody could match up to him. Even Qin Ta the Heavenly God felt a stifling pressure boring down on him right now. As for Ye Qianchen, his will wavered as he stared at the sword in his hands. He was wondering if his sword could match up against Qin Wentian’s king sword.
When truly fighting face to face, only then could they feel how domineering Qin Wentian’s words were. When Qin Ta and Ye Qianchen saw the trump cards Qin Wentian was unleashing, they were no longer as confident as before.
Did this man really challenge both of them together out of a moment of impulse?
However under that scenario, they could only choose to fight.
Qin Ta’s palm blasted out, enveloping this entire space, giving off the sensation that right now in this world, only that palm existed. It was extremely powerful, ordinary ascendants at the same level as him would definitely be crushed by this palm strike.
And just like how both Qin Ta and Ye Qianchen could only feel Qin Wentian’s dominance when they are up-close and facing off against him. Qin Wentian could similarly only sense the profoundness and strength in the skills when he was fighting against them now.
Qin Wentian’s left palm didn’t hesitate to slam out. He didn’t evade and chose to attack head-on. His palm shimmered with dazzling runic light, containing boundless strength that could destroy everything.
Almost at the same moment, Ye Qianchen moved. His body was as light as a feather and as fast as a lightning bolt, directly slashing out a tyrannical sword beam that tore upwards, wanting to cleave Qin Wentian into twain.
Qin Wentian right hand chopped out with his king sword. His sword appeared to be extremely slow but at the instant he chopped out, a sword beam directly erupted and arced through the skies, cleaving down upon the tyrannical sword beam of Ye Qianchen.
Palm against palm, sword against sword. Thunderous booms and sounds of lacerations interweaved as the battle exploded in tempo.
“BOOM!” Qin Ta directly stomped the ground and rushed towards Qin Wentian. Ye Qianchen also sped forward, wanting to engage Qin Wentian in close combat.
However, with a flap of Qin Wentian’s wings, golden light flashed as he seemingly transformed into a wind roc, directly vanishing from sight.
Qin Ta and Ye Qianchen paused momentarily as they stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was now like a great sage wind roc, his movements like the wind. His left palm smashed down with anger, directly aiming for Qin Ta and the king sword in his right hand swept over to Ye Qianchen.
Just like how he used the spear to crushed Ruthless’ expertise which was also the spear, he was now using strength against Qin Ta and sword arts against Ye Qianchen. This was already not a simple battle, he wanted to let everyone see how powerful he was, using the strengths of his opponents and conquering them completely, shutting the mouths of those who doubted him due to the previous two rounds of testing.
“BOOM!” At the instant Qin Ta collided into Qin Wentian, their palms directly met. Qin Ta is an expert from the Heavenly God Race and was born with divine strength. But when his palm matched Qin Wentian’s, he could clearly feel a terrifying pressure overwhelming him. Qin Wentian’s palm strike was like an indomitable force filled with boundless might, as heavy as a mountain.
Just a strike and Qin Wentian vanished again. Qin Ta didn’t even have time to launch another attack with his other palm.
Qin Wentian floated in the air as the violet-gold light of his constellation cascaded onto him. Numerous golden figures of suppressions could be seen in the air, akin to divinities.
“I said before, you guys are not my match.” Qin Wentian faintly commented. After that, his silhouette flickered as he shot higher up into the skies, akin to a golden beam of light, reaching incredible heights in just an instant.
“RUMBLE!~”
A moment later, deafening thunderous sounds that rumbled the ear drums echoed endlessly through the skies. Even the air was churning and at this moment, as the spectators inclined their heads and watched on, the rumbling sounds got louder and louder.
Over there, a flash of brilliant golden light illuminated the skies.
“RUMBLE~!” The thunderous sounds got increasingly terrifying as the eyes of the spectators were all fixed there. They saw an incomparably gigantic figure shimmering with resplendent light, dashing downwards with an unbelievable speed, resembling a bolt of golden lightning.
Not only was this figure fast, the momentum of him rushing downwards exuded such strength that everyone felt that the apocalypse had arrived. Qin Ta who was transformed into a heavenly god felt his ear drums almost shattering from the volume. Staring at the immense figure rushing towards him, his heart trembled uncontrollably as he asked himself if he would be able to withstand this strike?
Ye Qianchen’s heart was shaking as well.
At this moment, they only saw hundreds of incarnations of Qin Wentian appearing, blotting out the entire sky. At this moment, even the sky felt like it was about to fall apart.
“ARGHHH!” Qin Ta howled. He felt that his will was about to shatter apart. Even in the tests before this, he had never felt so much despair before.
He had already lost two rounds and could no longer afford to be defeated. Also for this fight, Qin Wentian was fighting against the two of them. He had to win no matter what.
However, upon seeing the supreme attacks about to blast towards him… How could he win? There was no way he can win!
Facing such an attack…could he even still protect his life?
“I CONCEDE!” Qin Ta roared. This powerful contestant actually took the initiative to concede, not daring to continue fighting.
This roar of Qin Ta also collapsed the confidence of Ye Qianchen. Upon seeing that heaven-destroying attack getting closer and closer, he also roared out, “I ADMIT DEFEAT!”
As the voice of Ye Qianchen rang out, the many incarnations dissipated and only one remained. Far away, an explosive noise thundered out, that was Qin Wentian redirecting his attack.
“Bzz!” A raging wind buzzed. Qin Wentian stopped and floated in the air. His 100 meter physique was extremely imposing. That tyrannical attack was forcibly halted by him. He glanced at Qin Ta and Ye Qianchen below him. The purpose of this battle had already been achieved.
Before this, he defeated Ruthless, the disciple of the Undefeatable Devil King. And this fight, he was victorious over Qin Ta and Ye Qianchen. In this case, there were already three participants that were defeated by him.
Before him, only Gusu Tianqi, Hua Taixu, Feather King and Mo Wen were left.
“How powerful, this final battle seemed to have become a heaven for the three of them. They wanted to prove themselves, cleansing the shame and humiliation of their previous rankings.” The spectators felt their hearts shaking when they saw Qin Wentian’s strength forcing two powerful participants to concede. How terrifying was this?
Right now, those who could obstruct Qin Wentian was only a few. Maybe, only Gusu Tianqi could stand against him.
Also, for the top rankers of the earlier rounds, Gusu Tianqi and Hua Taixu, they haven’t shown their true strength yet in this final battle. They should both be tyrannically strong and one couldn’t help but to wonder if they were able to stop Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian glanced towards the battle between Jun Mengchen and Feather King, also Zi Qingxuan and Ruthless. The two battles were already reaching a climax. Right now, the Feather King had already used all his techniques, while Jun Mengchen was even more resplendent than ever. This actually caused Qin Wentian to be startled somewhat.
Jun Mengchen floated in the air as as a diagram of a clear sky appeared behind him. Or more accurately, it was a part of a world. That was a Clear Sky Worldly Diagram and right now, fluctuations of energy could clearly be seen within. It was as though Jun Mengchen could fully control the energy within this world diagram.
“BOOM!” A stifling pressure swept across heaven and earth as ALL the immortal kings stood up in shock, staring at the transformations happening to Jun Mengchen.
“Oh my god this is…” Even for the Undying Immortal King who has lived through countless number of years, also couldn’t help but to exclaim in shock as he stared with awe at Jun Mengchen.
“Old Man Immortal King..” Many spectators turned their gazes to the Undying Immortal King as looks of bewilderment appeared on their faces. Their eyes flickered with sharpness as an expression of confusion could be seen within. What exactly was going on?
“There’s no mistake, it really is! To think that such a person would come and participate in this immortal banquet.” The gaze of the Undying Immortal King was wide-opened in shock. Dongsheng Ting’s eyes also became incredibly sharp. Even Princess Glaze who was beside him suddenly sat straight up as a faint hint of excitement could be seen in her eyes.
Was this the person her father, the White Emperor, was searching for?
“His attacks are still considered very simple. Most likely, he still has no idea of his own potential. Congratulations to your highness, this time around, his Majesty will be able to take on such an outstanding disciple.” The Undying Immortal King spoke with envy in his tone. This time around, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor could be considered to have picked up a treasure. But how laughable, before this, his very own son was still intentionally targeting and making things difficult for this man, Jun Mengchen!
Chapter 880: Dongsheng Ting’s Intentions
Qin Wentian was puzzled. The phenomenon that appeared behind Jun Mengchen actually startled all the immortal kings, causing them all to stand up. Apparently, they were extremely shocked by it.
“Seems like junior brother Jun was born extraordinary.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice upon seeing how startled the immortal kings were.
To these ancient existences, although geniuses like them might have outstanding talent, they merely have a wisp of opportunity to step into the immortal king’s realm.
An immortal king is a supreme existence. Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants were simply too weak, no matter how high their talents are, it was impossible for immortal kings to be too shocked by it.
Hence from the start till now, those immortal kings could maintain their calm states and watched the battles. There was nothing that surprised them too much.
Also, given how high up the Deepflame Immortal King is, despite the outstanding talent Qin Wentian and his two fellow sect members showed, the Deepflame Immortal King didn’t care at all. Because, with talent, it didn’t mean they would become immortal kings. At most, they could only join a powerful sect.
But right now, the entirety of immortal kings present all stood up because of Jun Mengchen. What did this indicate?
Does this mean that in the future, Jun Mengchen had a very high possibility to become an existence that surpassed an immortal king?
After that moment of shock, those immortal kings returned to their seats. After all, they were supreme existences and were able to quickly adjust their mental state. Although they were seated now, their eyes were still gleaming with interest as they stared at the battle in the air.
Dongsheng Ting was also staring at Jun Mengchen’s transformation. He already didn’t care for the battle between Jun Mengchen and Feather King, because it was no longer that important.
He didn’t expect that he would see a legendary phenomenon on the body of Jun Mengchen. In this case, the intentional targeting Dongsheng Ting arranged earlier was simply taking a stone to smash his own foot. Given that such a character had appeared in this event, his royal father would definitely accept him as a disciple. In addition, it would be a personal disciple instead of just a normal one.
Jun Mengchen had to enter the top three no matter what.
His actions earlier were ridiculous now in hindsight.
“Forget it, since this is the case, this fellow is truly worthy of being nurtured. After royal father accepts him as a personal disciple, we will get him to sever all relationships with Qin Wentian. I’m sure he would know what choice to pick.” Dongsheng Ting mused. In front of absolute temptation, let alone being ordinary fellow sect members, even a master and disciple might turn on each other. If his royal father was willing to go all out and nurture Jun Mengchen, it wouldn’t be strange for Jun Mengchen to leave his current sect and fall out with his master, let alone severing the relationship with Qin Wentian, a mere senior apprentice brother.
Did they not came to this immortal banquet for one purpose only? Now, he was willing to give this opportunity to Jun Mengchen.
And at this moment, the combat finally ended. After Jun Mengchen unleashed his trump card, the powerful Feather King could no longer endure under his attacks.
Feather King was defeated.
Feather King’s wings flapped as he floated in the air. Wounds could be seen on his body as his aura fluctuated. Inclining his head and staring at that incomparably resplendent Jun Mengchen, he felt a strong reluctance in his heart. Jun Mengchen’s attacks were simply too overwhelming, there was no way he could stand against it at all.
For this final battle, this was his first lost.
He did not manage to obtain one of the top two rankings in the first two rounds either. The first round, he was ranked #3; as for the second round, he was ranked #4. In this case, his hope is already extremely slim if he wished to become one of the top three rankers. He had to win all battles from now onwards before he would have a chance. If he lost once again, there’s no more hope.
“Mhm, if this is the case, Mengchen only needs to fight two more battles against Hua Taixu and Gusu Tianqi.” Qin Wentian silently mused. And just so coincidentally, Jun Mengchen was glancing over his direction. Jun Mengchen who was clad in king’s armor exuded an aura unexcelled in the world. He smiled at Qin Wentian as he called, “Senior brother!”
“Take a break, there are very few battles left for you to fight.” Qin Wentian spoke. Jun Mengchen nodded and retracted his aura. But the immortal banquet wasn’t as calm as Qin Wentian. Because of Jun Mengchen, a storm had actually manifested.
“Your highness, given Jun Mengchen’s strength, he should be powerful enough to become one of the top three. Although his earlier performance wasn’t that good, the criteria of this recruitment event is still mainly placed on one’s talent and combat prowess. Just by this, given his performance earlier, it’s already sufficient to guarantee a spot in the top three.” Beside Dongsheng Ting, a supreme immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect stated.
Although his tone was vague, it was clear he was hinting at Dongsheng Ting that Jun Mengchen must become part of the top three no matter what.
If not, if the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor didn’t accept him as a disciple, he might not be keen to join their sect. There are too many immortal kings here at the banquet that was willing to recruit him under their wing.
Naturally, the person he feared the most was none other than Princess Glaze.
Princess Glaze came from so far away just to attend this immortal banquet and they had no idea as to her true purpose. Also, Jun Mengchen had manifested a legendary phenomenon and as the daughter of the White Emperor, how could she fail to understand what this meant? If Jun Mengchen didn’t get into the top three, wouldn’t this Princess act on behalf of her royal father and directly recruit him away?
“Mhm, his talent is extremely good. Let’s see his later performance. There’s a very high chance for him to enter the top three.” Dongsheng Ting nodded and replied. The immortal kings naturally understood his meaning.
“Your highness.” At this moment, Princess Glaze turned her gaze over as a mysterious smile flickered in her eyes.
“Before this, Jun Mengchen was ranked #6 in the first round and #7 in the second round. Such a performance can be considered lackluster and although his performance during the third round isn’t bad, can he really enter the top three?” Princess Glaze questioned.
“Princess’s words are precisely what I’m thinking about in my heart. But the purpose of this immortal banquet after all is to select the top three disciples with the most outstanding talent for my royal father. Although Jun Mengchen’s earlier performances aren’t that great, just the strength he showed at the final round already makes him more than qualified.” Dongsheng Ting’s voice was powerful and resonating as he spoke with assurance.
“In that case, the senior brother of this young man Qin Wentian… his performance during this round isn’t in anyway inferior to Jun Mengchen. If Jun Mengchen enters the top three, could it be that Qin Wentian would as well?” Princess Glaze turned her gaze over to the platform as a smile appeared on her face. If Dongsheng Ting only chose Jun Mengchen and not Qin Wentian, the fairness of this event would instantly come into question.
“That’s why we still need to monitor their later performances. If Qin Wentian’s performance is similarly outstanding, he naturally can be part of the top three as well.” Dongsheng Ting was forced to reply this way. Upon hearing this, Princess Glaze didn’t say anything any further.
Gusu Tianqi, Hua Taixu, Jun Mengchen and Qin Wentian. There were already four people. In addition, there’s also the powerful Feather King. With these five people, there are only three positions for the top three rankers. She wanted to see how Dongsheng Ting would choose exactly.
The battles continued unendingly on the platform. When Zi Qingxuan defeated Ruthless, the Undefeatable Devil King’s countenance became extremely unsightly.
After the third round started, his disciple Ruthless had lost continuously, not even winning a single battle. As a master, his face was completely thrown away.
However, this was just so coincidentally because those who fought against Ruthless were simply too strong. Even as a devil cultivator, Ruthless didn’t have too much advantage and after being defeated so many times, he no longer had a chance to qualify for the top three.
The competition was too intense. Mo Wen and Ye Qianchen were also currently fighting. And staring at their battle, Ye Qianchen was clearly inferior. This top ranker of the Qian Prefecture seemed to have become the stepping stone of many in this last round of testing.
In addition, Gusu TIanqi also started to search for battles. After defeating Ruthless, he moved towards Qin Ta. The things Qin Wentian and his fellow sect members accomplished, he could do so as well.
To Gusu Tianqi, only the top rank was his target.
One could very well imagine the pressure Qin Ta had when facing against Gusu Tianqi. He was the same as Ye Qianchen, both were in an extremely miserable state. Up till now, they didn’t even have a single victory.
“Seems like for this final battle, Ruthless, Qin Ta and Ye Qianchen are already destined to be ranked last. After tabulating their scores for the first two rounds, they wouldn’t even be able to get in the top five.” The spectators mused.
In fact right now, many participants were no longer qualified to be part of the top three. Other than the three of them, Mo Wen also had no more hope. In fact, even the powerful Feather King’s hope was very slim.
Right now, Feather King was staring at Qin Wentian as an intense battle intent flickered within his eyes. He wanted to fight with Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian also saw him but his expression was one of nonchalance, with no emotions at all. It was as though Feather King was simply not the opponent he wanted to fight with.
Feather King noticed Qin Wentian’s expression. He walked step by step towards Qin Wentian as arrogance could be seen on his face. His violet-gold wings flapped rapidly, exuding a terrifying might.
“Get out of my way.” Qin Wentian glanced at Feather King as he emotionlessly spoke.
“Bzz!” The wings of the Feather King started flapping, causing a violent tornado to gush forth, as he arrived before Qin Wentian in an instant. He then lifted his hand and flexed it into a terrifying claw as it lacerated the space, aiming for Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian snorted coldly, using his right hand to launch an attack. Rumbling sounds echoed through the air and in just an instant, numerous ancient bells gushed forth causing the entire space to reverberate from the sounds of the chimes. Feather King roared in rage because he originally wanted to crush Qin Wentian with a single strike.
The bell chimes continued endlessly, as golden calamity lightning blasted onto Feather King, jolting him so badly that even his soul was shaking. Qin Wentian’s entire body was glowing with an intense battle light, and when Feather King looked at Qin Wentian now, he saw a dazzling battle halo circulating around Qin Wentian.
“BANG!” Finally, Feather King could no longer endure the calamity lightning by the ancient bells and hurriedly fled backwards. Qin Wentian didn’t bother to give chase, he continued standing at his original location and stared emotionlessly at Feather King.
“Qingxuan, do your best to win this battle.” Qin Wentian encouraged. Zi Qingxuan then moved towards Feather King as a pair of divine falcon wings took form behind her back, shimmering with a brilliant light.
Feather King’s eyes narrowed. Qin Wentian wanted Zi Qingxuan to fight against him? Qin Wentian seemed to feel disdain towards him, unwilling to be the one to fight him.
Qin Wentian had already ravaged quite a few people before this, he didn’t think it was necessary to use Feather King as a tool to establish his dominance. Right now, he basically didn’t have the Feather King in his eyes.
“BOOM!” Feather King’s aura towered into the skies. After being defeated by Jun Mengchen, Qin Wentian actually refused to fight him. What degree of humiliation is this?!
Chapter 881: Fighting Against Hua Taixu
Feather King and Zi Qingxuan both have wings behind their backs. The two of them clashed repeatedly and in an instant, violet-golden sparks danced about in the air.
“What a fast attack. Not only do they have speed, they have sufficient power as well.”
The hearts of everyone trembled. The attacks of these two could even rumble the air, causing a violent hurricane to be formed. That cone shaped violet-golden wind swirled about and ravaged the entire platform. Lending the power of the wind, the two of them soared into the air unceasingly as they continued their battle amidst the cheering of the crowd.
“If Feather King lost again, he would have no chance to be ranked within the top three. Before him, there’s Hua Taixu and Gusu Tianqi. Also, Jun Mengchen appeared. In fact, even Qin Wentian disdained to fight with him. One could very well imagine the pressure now on Feather King.” An immortal king spoke in a low voice. The ten participants were all too terrifying.
If one left aside the dazzling Gusu Tianqi, as well as the low-profiled Hua Taixu, there was still Jun Mengchen and Qin Wentian who suddenly rose up in this last round. Which one of them were weak? The tyrannical heavenly god race, Qin Ta, and Ye Qianchen with his supreme sword techniques, had actually become existences at the bottom among the top ten.
Also, the young king, Feather King of the Winged Devil Race, he actually was defeated by Jun Mengchen. Gusu Tianqi and Qin Wentian had never treated him as their opponent. This was just too crazy, and they couldn’t help but to sigh as they reminisced. Staring at these juniors being so earnest in this competition reminded them of themselves during the time when they were young.
Very swiftly, Gusu Tianqi destroyed Qin Ta and Mo Wen crushed Ye Qianchen.
Qin Ta and Ye Qianchen were instantly relegated to the bottom few rankings. They didn’t even have a single victory. It was not a matter of strength but rather, all of their opponents were too terrifying.
The battle continued. Other than Hua Taixu who had not fought yet, the others were all fighting frenziedly.
“Myriad Incarnations, your disciple doesn’t seem to be too keen on the rankings.” The Undying Immortal King spoke to the beautiful woman before him. Hua Taixu hadn’t even fought in a single fight yet.
“Even if he can obtain a position in the top three, I will be reluctant to let him join the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. In addition after he walked out of the samsara world, his will and temperament is already different from the others. Hence, the things he wants are different from people as well.” The Myriad Incarnation Immortal King laughed. The Undying Immortal King nodded, indeed this was true. Everyone who stepped upon the battle platform had their own purpose. Gusu Tianqi’s fame shook the Eastern Prefecture, he wanted to become the top ranker of this immortal banquet to continue the legacy of glory his ancestors had before him.
As for the other geniuses, there were some who wished to take on the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as their master and there were some who wished to be recognized by the powerful immortal kings here. They all came here with different motives and only Hua Taixu was different. Nobody knew what he was thinking.
The storm of combat continued raging. Feather King and Zi Qingxuan had already clashed a countless number of times in the air, the might and speed of their attacks were simply astounding.
Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen were both observing the battle. So was Gusu Tianqi and Hua Taixu. This four didn’t seemed to mind being idle at this moment.
Hua Taixu’s eyes slowly turned and landed on Qin Wentian. His expression was as calm as ever as though everything that happened here didn’t have the power to affect his heart.
“We seem to be linked by fate.” Hua Taixu smiled at Qin Wentian. It was a very natural and lighthearted smile filled with elegance, with no hints of vengeance or hatred.
Qin Wentian also smiled back as he nodded. “When I was sixteen, I encountered you back in the Royal Sacred Region. At that time, you were already the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings. At the end, I also obtained the same ranking as you, we differed by one batch. Next, we met each other again in the Immortal Martial Realms and maybe it’s just like what you said, we are linked by fate. However, we seemed to be lacking a battle.”
“That’s my intention as well.” Hua Taixu laughed as he continued, “My purpose here is simple, I only want a fight with you. Are you prepared?”
“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded. The two of them stood facing each other and at this moment, they seemed to be the only two existences on the vast battle platform. This battle belonged to them and from a very long time ago, other than the fight they had together with Gu Liufeng in the Immortal Martial Realms, they had never fought one-on-one before. This battle between them should have already been fought but it was always delayed until today.”
The immortal kings stared at the two of them as puzzlement flashed through their eyes. From Hua Taixu’s words, it seemed that he and Qin Wentian were both acquainted a long time ago. At that time, Qin Wentian was only 16 years of age. How interesting was this.
However the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King, Undying Immortal King, as well as a few others weren’t that surprised by this. They knew Qin Wentian and Hua Taixu were from the same particle world and given their levels of talent, they were naturally people at the peak in their world. It wasn’t surprising that they knew each other.
“Hua Taixu is going to fight with Qin Wentian. This battle is extremely critical.”
Before the final round, Hua Taixu was already ranked #1 and #2 during the previous rounds, he had the same probability of entering the top three as Gusu Tianqi. If he defeats Qin Wentian here, there was no doubt that he would surely be part of the top three. After all, Qin Wentian had already defeated many participants.
But what if Qin Wentian defeated Hua Taixu?
This young man who obtained the last ranking during the first round. Would Dongsheng Ting allow him to enter the top three?
Hence, the battle between these two filled everyone with much anticipation.
Jun Mengchen and Gusu Tianqi stood there, staring at Qin Wentian and Hua Taixu. The two of them were also filled with anticipation for this battle, they had no idea who would win.
Jun Mengchen naturally believed in Qin Wentian. Although they were intentionally targeted during the first two rounds and had a pretty lousy ranking, they would definitely shock and stun everyone during this final battle, tramping all on the geniuses here. Who dares to doubt them? After they have done their best and if the top three rankings really didn’t belong to them, they wouldn’t have any regrets as well. Even if they failed in the mission the Heavenly Talisman Realm had given them, nothing could be done about it.
The spectators only saw Hua Taixu and Qin Wentian standing there, both were exceedingly calm. In fact, not the slightest movements could be seen at all. What was strange was that in the center of Qin Wentian’s brow, there was a flashing dazzling light that seemed to be a third eye. Terrifying rays shot forth from that eye as his Dreamworld Constellation appeared above them.
These two who simply seemed to be standing there, had actually already begun combat.
The two of them entered a marvelous space which was the dreamscape Qin Wentian created, that was also the illusion-scape Hua Taixu created.
Hua Taixu’s eyes were already capable of battling. This point had already been proven before, nobody would doubt the power of his eyes. His master is the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King who excelled in illusionary arts, and could manifest millions of different incarnations. She was unparalleled in the realm of illusions among immortal kings and Hua Taixu himself had also undergone the tempering in the samsara world and survived without going mad.
The two of them stood in the air. In this marvelous space, several incarnations of Hua Taixu appeared, flickering incessantly.
“Illusion-scape? In the battle before this, Hua Taixu used this as well, causing his opponent to be so helpless that he almost broke down.” Qin Wentian mused.
The myriad incarnations of Hua Taixu moved towards Qin Wentian. They all held long spears in their hands and one of them directly stabbed out a spear strike that contained a terrifying might within.
Qin Wentian lifted his palm that was shimmering with a fearsome runic light and directly shattered the spear. The incarnation that attacked was dissipated as well, it was like nothing but a mirage.
“Bzz!” Another attack blasted over as Qin Wentian calmly responded. It was just another mirage.
The spectators outside only saw Qin Wentian launching blow after blow under the light of his constellation. They were stunned in their hearts, Hua Taixu’s illusions were too strong. It was clear Qin Wentian had already sunk into them.
But at this moment, the spectators saw a boundless sword might gushing forth from Qin Wentian, forming a terrifying sword qi vortex. His Slaughter Sword Constellation appeared in the air, and the sword might swept across the marvelous space, lacerating all the incarnations of Hua Taixu. However, as the incarnations perished, even more incarnations appeared again and again, in an unending cycle.
Ahead, another spear launched over. This spear was extremely powerful and when Qin Wentian stared at this strike, a countless number of illusions appeared in his mind. Right now, there was no one around him and he was back in the Sky Harmony City of Chu Country. The skies were filled with dancing snowflakes, Mo Qingchen wore a pure and white robe, staring at him amidst the falling snow, as beautiful as a fairy.
In just an instant, numerous scenes flashed through his mind, they were so real, just like reality.
“Damn…!” Qin Wentian’s alertness was exceedingly strong. His aura abruptly gushed out with full force as he activated his battle art, forcefully waking up from the illusions. The power of his blood thrummed and he directly roared in rage. A moment later, endless bell chimes echoed through the air as numerous ancient bells manifested. With both his palms, he blasted out and destroyed the spear shooting toward him and after the spear was destroyed, he only saw the calm gaze of Hua Taixu looking at him.
“That’s the real body!”
Qin Wentian’s heart trembled. The true body of Hua Taixu was mixed in within the millions of incarnations and there were too many illusionary techniques hidden in those spear arts of his. Hua Taixu could directly influence one’s will and cause many scenes to flash through their mind in just an instant. When the opponent is distracted, the true killing blow would appear, directly obliterating them. How terrifying was that?
In the space they were in, another million incarnations flickered, it was unclear which was real and which were false. Hua Taixu’s strength was different from others but no one is as dangerous as him. If it wasn’t for his powerful will earlier, he would have already been defeated by Hua Taixu.
“Everything is an illusion, one cannot break out from it just depending on their will alone.” An immortal king sighed. Hua Taixu’s illusions were too strong. Who among the ten participant can break through them?
Qin Wentian also sensed the power of these illusions, he knew they weren’t something that could be broken through just by will alone. Right now, a white candle-like flame circulated around his entire body and an instant later, his entire body was blazing with pure white flames. These flames burned brilliantly in his eyes and the remaining flames all congregated within that third eye in the center of his brow.
At this instant, the pupils of his eyes turned white, flickering with fire, burning like torches. It was extremely terrifying.
“Zi, zi, zi, zi~” The incarnations were all burning up one after another under the focused stare of those eyes. They, who were formed from the void, returned to the void!
Translator Notes: Amaterasu!
Chapter 882: My Heart Remains the Same
Hua Taixu’s ability was extremely unique. If one wanted to defeat him, just having powerful attacks wouldn’t be able to do so. One had to first break through all of his illusions.
Only after breaking through his illusions could they have a possibility to attack the true body. If not, they wouldn’t even know where Hua Taixu was at…how would they battle then?
Qin Wentian’s eyes activated his second bloodline power. and shimmered with the white candle-like flames. The incarnations Hua Taixu created directly combusted under his stare, returning back to the void. Right now, an incarnation lunged over to Qin Wentian, and Qin Wentian simply just turned his gaze over to finish it off, he didn’t even move from his original spot.
In the surrounding space, Hua Taixu’s incarnations unceasingly appeared again and again, yet they were all burned into cinders.
Hua Taixu’s real body finally appeared in front of Qin Wentian. But right now, Hua Taixu’s eyes also underwent a transformation. There seemed to be a vortex spiralling within his pupils, and was able to draw people within it. In fact, there were even runic lights flickering in his eyes.
Instantly, an even stronger illusion-scape appeared. Qin Wentian wanted to shift his eyes away but he failed to do so. Hua Taixu’s eyes were branded deep inside his mind as illusory scenes flooded before his eyes.
There was a silhouette of Qing`er, of Mo Qingcheng and of Uncle Black. It was as though all the things he had experienced all replayed within his mind, causing Qin Wentian to once again sink within.
“These two…”
Those immortal kings were shocked by what they saw. Both these participants had extremely terrifying eyes, it was a battle of eye techniques.
“Myriad Incarnation, why does Hua Taixu have those eyes?” The Undying Immortal King turned and asked.
“He cultivated it himself, I only provided some support at the side. After encountering a total of nine life times in that samsara world, he encountered a bout of good fortune. His samsara eyes could cause his opponents to sink within a mini samsara cycle, recalling all the experiences you have had before. Also, he can even add illusions within it. For those with weak wills, they wouldn’t even be able to last a single instant.” The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King spoke with pride.
Hua Taixu’s success wasn’t simply because she was his master. A master could only provide guidance to a certain point but everything still ultimately depended on oneself. The pair of eyes which Hua Taixu had comprehended was something the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King could not achieve, even though she was already a supreme immortal king!
The samsara world is a forbidden world. As expected of the harvest he had in it but to think that you actually dared to allow him to enter.” The Undying Immortal King sighed. There were some forbidden grounds within the immortal realms that were extremely fearsome, with no one daring to step into them as the risk of death or worse was very high. The samsara world was precisely one of these forbidden grounds, it is a small-scale particle world…
“That’s because of his own courage. If he didn’t enter the samsara world, how could he evolve his eyes into the samsara eyes?” The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King smiled as she glanced at her disciple.
“However, this Qin Wentian isn’t simple at all. Look at his eyes, they are just as terrifying.” The Undying Immortal King laughed. The spectators only saw Qin Wentian and Hua Taixu standing there and staring at each other. Qin Wentian’s entire body was radiating a pure white light as his tyrannical immortal battle art was unleashed. Hua Taixu was proficient with illusionary arts hence, his attacks all had illusionary effects mixed within as well. In terms of strength, it was clear he was more inferior in that aspect. That should be Hua Taixu’s weakness.
Only by breaking through Hua Taixu’s illusions and using absolute force to subdue him would he be defeated.
Qin Wentian stepped out, all the incarnations couldn’t stand before him, unable to endure the power of his gaze.
The light in Hua Taixu’s eyes intensified further when he saw this scene. The vortex in his eyes spiralled about even faster as this entire space contorted, as he forcibly pulled Qin Wentitan into another illusion-scape. Over here, countless familiar silhouettes appeared before Qin Wentian.
“My heart won’t be confused.” Qin Wentian spoke in a quiet voice. A terrifying aura gushed forth from him as he dashed towards Hua Taixu. But at this moment, Mo Qingcheng appeared in front of him. This silhouette was so real, even Qin Wentian couldn’t help but to pause for a moment.
Qin Wentian frowned, as his aura fluctuated for a moment. This was Mo Qingcheng, how could he still continue his attack?
The next instant, he saw a pair of eyes that were able to cause one to sink into samsara. The power of these eyes directly penetrated past his white eyes and instantly, a towering immortal palace appeared before him, his parents were there as well. Experts were as common as clouds like something extremely major just happened and the aura of each individual was so strong that they were completely inconceivable.
Everything was so clear, it was like he returned to the time back when he was still a baby, this was a samsara that belonged to him.
“CAREFUL!” Jun Mengchen roared. But Hua Taixu’s spear had already reached Qin Wentian’s throat. This spear was too quick, so quick that it struck terror in Jun Mengchen’s and Zi Qingxuan’s heart.
With a violet roar, an unbelievable amount of demonic qi flooded the area, protecting Qin Wentian’s body, directly blocking the long spear.
And at the same time, Qin Wentian’s eyes snapped open.
Hua Taixu retreated backwards. However, he moved so close earlier precisely for this attack on Qin Wentian. So, how could Qin Wentian allow him to escape now that he was clear-minded? Rumbling sounds rang out as golden figures of suppression descended from the skies, sealing away Hua Taixu’s retreat. Both his palms erupted outwards as runic light flashed through the skies, capable of even seizing stars and plucking moons, exuding an aura of absolute tyranny.
Upon seeing this, Hua Taixu’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. Instantly, numerous incarnations appeared once more, they seemed so corporeal that they were no different from real existences.
These incarnations hung suspended everywhere in this space, shining with resplendent runic lights. They simultaneously launched their attacks, which superimposed on each other as one, clashing against Qin Wentian’s terrifying palm imprint as both attacks exploded from the impact.
At the same time, Qin Wentian sensed a pair of samsara eyes locking down on him, wanting to penetrate his heart. Once again, countless scenes flashed through his mind, there were things which happened before in the past, as well as new illusionary scenes created by Hua Taixu.
“BOOM!” Qin Wentian ignited the power of both his bloodlines. Pure white flames circulated around him akin to divine fire. His eyes turned even more terrifying, able to see through Hua Taixu’s incarnations and determined where his true body was located at.
The numerous incarnations of Hua Taixu brandished the long spear in their hands and stabbed towards Qin Wentian. Every spear strike seemingly wanted to drill into Qin Wentian’s eyes. And if one paid close attention, they would be able to see countless scenes flashing through Qin Wentian’s eyes every second. If it wasn’t for his powerful bloodlines, there was simply no way for him to fight against Hua Taixu.
Right now, a fearsome glow erupted forth from Qin Wentian’s eyes. He roared in anger, “GET DOWN HERE!”
As the sound of his voice faded, the golden figures of suppression manifested by his constellation descended endlessly, each exuding a forcefield of suppression in all directions. The power of suppression transformed into a super strong diagram, crushing all of Hua Taixu’s incarnations with pure power. Other than suppression force, there was also another surge of marvelous energy that sealed this space.
“BOOM!” Right now, it was Qin Wentian’s turn to shine. He had also cultivated the incarnation burst technique back in the Immortal Martial Realm. With a roar of rage, millions of Qin Wentians appeared, blasting out their palms at the real Hua Taixu.
The terrifying white candle flames danced wildly around the skies and everywhere they passed by, everything turned to ash. Hua Taixu’s real body, which was currently suppressed by the super strong diagram of suppression, had no way to break free in such a short moment.
“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!” The terrifying palm imprints all blasted towards Hua Taixu. But the force behind them was cancelled out before they managed to hit him. He finally managed to struggle free as he retreated hurriedly with a pale countenance. Floating in his air, his expression gradually returned to normal. He then calmly stared at Qin Wentian and spoke, “Seems like the number one of Grand Xia is still you after all.”
After experiencing nine samsara lifetimes, he still lost when fighting against Qin Wentian today.
Qin Wentian actually had the power to break through all illusions and in terms of pure strength, it was clear he was more inferior and couldn’t compare to the power of Qin Wentian’s attacks. He was very clear of this point in his heart.
“I have lost.” The spectators could hear there was actually a hint of disappointment and frustration in Hua Taixu’s voice. This battle was too fascinating, the grand battle between two outstanding geniuses which eventually resulted in Hua Taixu’s loss.
As for the ‘number one’ of Grand Xia, the others might not understand but Qin Wentian naturally could. Their hometown was Grand Xia, and that was probably Hua Taixu’s ambition.
The two of them had walked all of way to this point, from Grand Xia all the way until they were in the immortal realms. Yet Qin Wentian was still the stronger one between them.
“Why is there a need to see who’s number one and who’s number two? We are both the pride of Grand Xia, and the more demon-level characters Grand Xia has, the better it would be.” Qin Wentian spoke.
“Right.” Hua Taixu nodded and smiled.
As for those spectators, their faces were all filled with awe. The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King started before recovering and glanced towards Qin Wentian with a smile, “A true demon-level character.”
“They are both valuable disciples worthy of nurturing. The illusion-scape of your disciple has already reached godly levels. In the future, his accomplishments in illusions might even be above yours. If his weakness could be mitigated, I wonder how powerful he would be?” The Undying Immortal King stroked his beard and laughed. Even he wished to provide guidance to youngsters as talented as them.
“Not bad,” at this moment, Dongsheng Ting also spoke. He stared at Qin Wentian on the platform as he felt a struggle in his heart.
Qin Wentian actually defeated Hua Taixu. In that case, what ranking should he give Qin Wentian?
At this moment, Qin Wentian’s eyes also turned his direction. Dongsheng Ting hurriedly smiled as he continued, “In the past, you have already displayed your incredible talent. My royal father initially desired to accept you as a disciple but you rejected the request of a 1,000 years of tempering. However, now that you’ve come around one full circle to arrive at this point yet again, such persistence deserves to be rewarded. I would just like to ask you this, if you can go back in time, would you agree to my royal father’s conditions, taking him on as a master?”
As Dongsheng Ting questioned, his eyes gleamed with sharpness. His words caused many to feel their hearts trembling, these words naturally had a hidden intent. Or to better put it, Dongsheng Ting was giving Qin Wentian one more chance, a chance to enter the top three.
Qin Wentian stared calmly at Dongsheng Ting as he replied, “A thousand years is too long. My heart, still remains the same.”
