Chapter 1060: Immortal Emperors From All Locations
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The Ying Clan's arrival caused the God Hand Mountain Manor to become the eye of the storm of the Southern Region. All three ancient great clans gathered here, this was something extremely rare. Only secret arts of ancient emperors had such allure.
Not only so, other than the three great ancient powers, many other immortal-emperor ranked powers also sent experts over as they entered the God Hand Mountain Manor.
The Violet Emperor and the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor also sent their forces here. Since this was so, the experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan no longer continued to hide in the shadows and directly walked together with Nanfeng Yunxi, protecting her in the open. Right now, the situation here was too chaotic. This manor was no longer a gathering place for juniors of the various powers. Many immortal kings have already arrived, and there are even more experts still hidden in the shadows, monitoring the actions of everyone.
This situation made Qin Wentian extremely unhappy. Jiang Ziyu leaked the news which caused the situation now. The difficulty of him obtaining the complete God's Hand just shot up astronomically. Qin Wentian believed that right now, Emperor Yu should already know about the situation here at his mountain manor and it was just that he hadn't show himself. Because this matter now involved so many major powers of the Southern Region, even if he was an immortal emperor, he had to proceed cautiously.
Today, Butler Lu finally announced to everyone that Emperor Yu has returned and would soon meet with all of them.
The God Hand Mountain Manor was situated at a very vast piece of land. The tall pavilions and other buildings within it were now all filled with people. There were about several hundred people here currently, all from the various powers. Below the manor, there were even more people there. These people didn't even have the qualifications to enter the mountain manor. Those who could enter the manor were people from supreme powers of the southern region. What qualifications does ordinary powers have to compete together with them?
Qin Wentian, Nanfeng Yunxi and the rest sat within a tall pavilion. Behind them, the other experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan were there.
"So many people are here, things are going to be troublesome." Jun Mengchen glanced at the experts from the other powers in the surroundings. Even if Emperor Yu had God's Hand, if he handed it solely to them, it would be equivalent to offending the other powers.
As Qin Wentian sat there, he could feel a burst of cold qi boring down on him and when he turned his gaze, he saw Zi Daolong standing there staring coldly at him. They had met once before. Zi Daolong was the elder brother of Zi Daoyang, the son of Violet Emperor, a character at the immortal-king level.
"How long do you think that the Southern Phoenix Clan can protect you for?" Zi Daolong sneered.
"The Violet Emperor?" Qin Wentian had a mocking smile on his face. He didn't reply Zi Daolong, and his words caused Zi Daolong to stiffen. "What are you smiling at?"
"I'm smiling at the fact that the Violet Emperor is so far off from his illustrious reputation." Qin Wentian replied. "Everyone clearly knew who Zi Daoyang's murderer was. You guys had no guts to kill your way into the Myriad Devil Island to hunt down Mo Xie, yet you want to capture me and make me into a scapegoat? Even if you all really killed me, that would only be a joke, destroying the Violet Emperor's reputation."
"There's no need to use reverse psychology. I will kill Mo Xie sooner or later. And as for you, there will be no mercy shown as well." Zi Daolong coldly threatened.
"Zi Daolong, in the future it's best for you not to find people to challenge." Qin Wentian didn't mind his threat and continued speaking in a mocking tone. "If you challenge others, wouldn't everyone have to give in and pretend to lose to you? If they defeated you accidentally and you died after that due to some unknown reasons, wouldn't the Violet Emperor hunt down the poor unlucky innocent fellow who defeated you to vent his rage?"
"Hah!" Jun Mengchen's laughter sounded out. Nanfeng Shengge was smiling as well. Many people were staring at Zi Daolong. In this matter, the Violet Emperor's actions were truly not honorable. However, they could understand his actions, the Violet Emperor was a high-up and lofty figure. His son was killed by someone, how could he not hunt down those who implicated his son's death? This was the tyranny of powerful people, even if logic was not on their side, their actions would still be logical. Who asked his fist to be so big?
"You've offended so many people. I also heard them saying that you have even cultivated God's Hand?" A voice drifted over from the descendant of the ancient Ying Clan, Ying Teng. He also discovered that Qin Wentian was very interesting. Jiang Ziyu, Dongsheng Ting, and Zi Daolong all seemed to have a grudge with this guy.
"I'm sure the number of people you offended wouldn't be less than me. However, it's merely that many don't dare to look for you to take revenge." Qin Wentian casually smiled. Bullying the weak while fearing the tyrants was an innate nature of humans. If he was a descendant of the Southern Phoenix Clan, would the subordinates of the Xuan and the Xiao Emperor dare to court trouble with him? Most probably, even the Violet Emperor had to give the Southern Phoenix Clan some face. After all, he wasn't the one who killed Zi Daoyang.
"Brother Qin's words make sense. Why don't you join my Jiang Clan? I guarantee you that my Jiang Clan would settle those who came to make trouble for you. How about it?" Jiang Ziyu spoke again. This Jiang Ziyu was extremely unfathomable, seemingly unlike an enemy nor a friend. His actions caused people to be puzzled, but there was no doubt that he's a powerful character. Even so, Qin Wentian had decided that it was impossible for him to go to the Jiang Clan.
"I, Qin, appreciate Brother Jiang's kind intentions. It's just that I don't have the fortune to enjoy them." Qin Wentian smiled as he rejected. Both their tones didn't have the slightest trace of anger.
Jiang Ziyu long anticipated the answer. He merely smiled gently.
At this moment, a powerful presence permeated the atmosphere as an ethereal voice drifted over.
"Everyone has come here from far away, since you are all already here, all of you are guests of the mountain manor. Why don't you chat there then? There's no need to be courteous." That voice rang out through the air, even people a few hundred miles away could hear the words clearly. Right now, after hearing the voice, even more figures that exuded an extraordinary air appeared. They were all immortal king characters.
At the same time, below the mountain manor, many people from the various ordinary powers of the southern region were heading up the mountain to the manor. In a few short moments, many silhouettes appeared in the mountain manor. Luckily, the manor was extremely vast, it could even accommodate an army of hundreds of thousands, let alone just these people.
-Swish~- At this moment in the direction of where the Jiang Clan people were at, an old man exuding immense might appeared before them out of nowhere. The people of the Jiang Clan hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to this old man. This expert swept his gaze over them, finally landing on Jiang Ziyu.
"Granduncle." Jiang Ziyu smiled.
"Ziyu." That expert nodded to Jiang Ziyu. He then transmitted his voice over, "I heard that you received this information from the Southern Phoenix Clan and you disseminated it out after which. Why did you intentionally do so?"
"Granduncle, for the secret art of Ancient Emperor Yi, I don't believe the Southern Phoenix Clan wouldn't covet it. Since they knew where the location was long ago, do you believe that through all these years, they hadn't came to get it?" Jiang Ziyu smiled. His granduncle nodded. Another possibility was that the Southern Phoenix Clan's negotiations with Emperor Yu, amounted to nothing.
"I think it should be because of Qin Wentian's appearance that made the Southern Phoenix Clan reveal the location of the secret art. Qin Wentian had once cultivated a part of God's Hand before." Jiang Ziyu continued. His granduncle didn't say anything else. The God Hand Mountain Manor was closer to the Southern Phoenix Clan compared to his Jiang Clan. If both ancient clans competed for it, the possibility of the Southern Phoenix Clan obtaining the inheritance would be higher regardless of the fact that they were closer geographically, or because Qin Wentian had cultivated an incomplete version of God's Hand before. Hence, Jiang Ziyu intentionally blew up the matter leading to the situation now where his Jiang Clan was not the only clan competing against the Southern Phoenix Clan.
"All the friends here who still remain hidden, do you want me to personally invite you by name before you would reveal yourselves?" That ethereal voice rang out again, filled with laughter. Several figures then appeared out of nowhere, moving so fast that it was impossible to see where they came from.
The Southern Phoenix Clan's members including Nanfeng Yunxi all stood up, staring at the female silhouette before them. This woman was clad in a luxurious phoenix robe and exuded an extraordinary demeanor, radiating an intense forcefield.
"We pay our respects to Holy Maiden Guhong." Everyone bowed. Nanfeng Guhong was one of the dao protectors of the current Southern Phoenix Matriarch and had already entered the Immortal Emperor Realm. She was exceedingly powerful and was a trusted aide of the Southern Phoenix Matriarch. There were many things which the matriarch would entrust her to do.
The appearance of holy maiden Guhong was probably the Southern Phoenix Matriarch's intentions.
"Yunxi." Nanfeng Guhong calmly stared at Nanfeng Yunxi as she spoke, "The clan has bestowed Jiyue Palace to you. You have to work hard in the future."
"Yunxi understands," Nanfeng Yunxi nodded lightly.
"Shengge, all of you dao protectors must work hard as well, don't forget your cultivation." Nanfeng Guhong stared at Nanfeng Shengge as she reminded. Nanfeng Shengge nodded, Nanfeng Guhong was a role model to them all. Even for dao protectors, they could step into the Immortal Emperor Realm and accompany the Southern Phoenix Matriarch.
Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with contemplation. The Southern Phoenix Clan told him the location of the secret art. Other than repaying him for his efforts, they probably had other intentions. But this was normal as well, just based on the fact that Ancient Emperor Yi's secret art overwhelmed and dominated an entire era in the past, which major powers wouldn't want it? The Southern Phoenix Clan was no exception.
Not only the Jiang Clan or the Southern Phoenix Clan, the Ying Clan also had an immortal emperor here. Other than them, Qin Wentian saw a familiar figure in the distance. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had actually arrived here personally.
The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor appeared in front of Dongsheng Ting. His expression was calm as he casually glanced at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian understood that most probably, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor wanted nothing more than to smack him to death with a palm strike directly but he couldn't act himself. On the surface, Qin Wentian was a member of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Immortal Emperors are not allowed to interfere in combat between the two powers. If Eastern Sage directly killed Qin Wentian, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord might act directly and kill Dongsheng Ting. This was the agreement between them.
Not far away from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, an imposing figure appeared. Qin Wentian had seen this figure before in the City of Ancient Emperors but at that time, the silhouette he saw was something manifested from a strand of immortal sense. This time, it was the real person.
The Violet Emperor was clad in violet robes, he had a lanky figure and his eyes shone with a faint violet light. The imposingness he exuded was extremely intense and this time around, he came by himself instead of sending a subordinate.
Other than the Violet Emperor, the Xuan Emperor and the Xiao Emperor, as well as the other immortal emperors from the major powers of the Southern Region were here as well. All of them came here personally and this made Qin Wentian truly feel how attractive the complete secret art of God's Hand was. It had actually attracted so many immortal emperors to come here personally.
"Emperor Yu, stop putting on airs." The Violet Emperor stated in a calm tone. As the sound of his voice faded, laughter rang through the air. Several figures appeared from within the manor and the old man in the lead exuded a celestial air with a headful of white hair. His entire being radiated an ethereal sense, and he was none other than Emperor Yu.
This Emperor Yu was someone from the same era as the ancient emperors. He was a character that has been alive for countless years!
Chapter 1061: Mystical Ancient Mountain

Emperor Yu smiled and walked over slowly. There were two more beside him and they similarly also exuded an unfathomable aura. This caused the gazes of those immortal emperors to stiffen. The cultivation of the two beside Emperor Yu was also extraordinary high.
"Since everyone came by to visit my place, won't you allow me to put on some airs? Alright then, what are you all here for?" Emperor Yu laughed as he spoke to the Violet Emperor. His tone was as calm as ever, with no hints of anger at all.
The eyes of the Violet Emperor flashed, as violet light flickered. His overwhelming might blasted outwards. To him, those with a lower cultivation base all had to submit to him.
"Hmph." The Violet Emperor coldly snorted.
Emperor Yu didn't mind it. He turned his gaze onto the other immortal emperors and spoke, "If any one among you doesn't like the fact that this old man loves to put on airs, you can jolly well leave now. I won't beg you to stay."
"Senior Emperor Yu must be joking. No matter what, when senior made your name, I was still a fledgling." Nanfeng Guhong smiled, her tone was extremely polite, wanting to diffuse the tension.
"Fairies from the Southern Phoenix Clan truly know how to speak." Emperor Yu nodded his head lightly to Nanfeng Guhong. "I know that all of you received news and are here for the secret art of senior Ancient Emperor Yi. Back then, Emperor Yi depended on God's Hand to dominate his era, how glorious was that? After that, the secret art was lost to history and disappeared from the immortal realms. Since everyone travelled from so far and arrived here, I believe that you all won't leave so easily without seeing the things you want to see. I won't hide things and lie to you all. Everyone, the secret art of Emperor Yi is here and I, Emperor Yu, am none other than the protector of this secret art."
The eyes of everyone flickered, they didn't expect Emperor Yu to admit to this fact so readily. But just as what he said, the immortal emperors made an effort and personally came here. If he didn't give a satisfactory answer, they probably wouldn't leave.
At this instant, silence was everywhere. Every expert here at the manor stared at Emperor Yu, waiting for him to continue speaking.
"There are many immortal emperors present. As immortal emperors, you guys evidently have your own secret arts and had focused on them for many years. I'm sure you know how tough it is to cultivate a secret art to its peak. If all of you changed and cultivate God's Hand after receiving it, would it be able to surpass the power of the secret arts you have cultivated for countless years?"
Emperor Yu continued, "Most probably it wouldn't. Pardon me for saying this. Because astral souls are different, the attribute law energy you are proficient in results in different domains. You all are already highly proficient in some laws, and God's Hand is something completely different to what you all have cultivated. Hence, even if God's Hand is before your eyes, I doubt that any of you would be able to master it."
"There's no need for Emperor Yu to worry about this. Just hand the God's Hand to us." A person spoke. This man who spoke had extremely sharp eyes that shimmered with golden light. He radiated a barbaric aura, and beside him was a young man whom Qin Wentian met in the ancestral lands before - Zong Zhan.
Evidently, this person was a demon emperor, his true form was a golden heaven-warring condor.
"Sure I will hand over God's Hand to you all. Let's see if any of you are able to cultivate it." Emperor Yu straightforwardly agreed. Even the demon emperor felt a little taken aback. Didn't this Emperor Yu agree to their terms too fast? As the protector of this secret art, why would he hand it over to them so easily?
"Everyone please step back. I'm going to brand God's Hand on the ground." Emperor Yu spoke. The eyes of everyone flickered as they retreated a few steps back.
"You all need to retreat further. Everyone please step back." Emperor Yu flicked his sleeves. Although everyone didn't understand, they still complied with him. Since Emperor Yu has agreed, there was probably no need for him to pull any tricks. The people here all had extraordinary statuses. Emperor Yu was an immortal emperor, and was extremely intelligent. He should know the consequences of tricking these people.
Emperor Yu slowly rose up into the air. The two beside him also retreated and an instant later, he was high up in the sky. His headful of white hair fluttered as a raging wind kicked up. The might radiating from him instantly swept over all eight directions, enveloping the heavens and earth.
At the center of his brows, a fearsome and incredibly dazzling light radiated. A moment later, glistening golden light shimmered around him as many ancient runes manifested in the air, containing boundless might, channeling streams of energy that blasted into the ground.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" At this instant, the entire space was shaking. Boundless runic light shone upon the earth as a golden-colored runic diagram took form, mysterious and powerful to the extreme.
The might from Emperor Yu grew more powerful, boundless streams of energy erupted outwards, causing the fissures they opened on the ground to turn golden, forming into the runic lines of a grand formation.
Finally when everything ended, a countless number of runes could be seen flowing along the lines of the diagrams. Ancient runic words floated independently in the air, projected by the diagram and what was even more terrifying was that there was actually a golden body at the central core of the formation. This golden body was formed from countless runes and was a runic body. Annihilative might rolled off in waves from it, it was over a hundred meters large and extremely shocking to the eyes.
Emperor Yu stood in the air, turning his gaze to the stunned crowd. "This is the secret art God's Hand. Everyone can cultivate it if you want to. I wish you all the best and truly hope some of you might succeed."
The Violet Emperor stepped out, instantly nearing the golden diagram on the ground. He appeared before the golden body as he closed his eyes, silently in contemplation.
"Bzz, bzz…"
Numerous figures stepped out at the same time, entering into the grand formation. Nanfeng Guhong spoke, "For those of you who wish to enter, don't leave my side."
"Yes." Everyone nodded. Experts here were too many, Nanfeng Guhong was an immortal emperor and was able to protect them.
Nanfeng Guhong also entered. Qin Wentian similarly stepped into the formation, bathing in the boundless runic light.
Qin Wentian closed his eyes, the runic words in the air drifted into his mind. They were extremely clear and incomparably mystical. This was actually the true complete version of God's Hand.
Qin Wentian cast aside all distractions and fully immersed within, sensing the profoundness of the secret art God's Hand. The immortal energy in his body was transformed into runes that turned into corporeal ancient characters that shimmered with power. The strength of his entire body gathered above his immortal foundation and evolved into a marvelous energy before erupting forth from his hands. He felt like he could shake the heavens and earth if he wanted to, there was nothing he couldn't do. His pair of hands, that just exuded that immense might, felt like the hands of god.
God's Hand wasn't like those extremely complicated secret arts. It was very simple, yet in its simplicity, there contained a profoundness that had boundless transformations. One needed to try and comprehend it unceasingly, growing stronger endlessly. If one couldn't comprehend the logic behind it, they wouldn't be able to even use the most rudimentary version of it.
In fact, many secret arts of the immortal realms had to be cultivated step-by-step, growing from weak to strong. Even for those with weaker talents, it was possible for them to comprehend a little and execute some of the power from the secret arts. However, God's Hand was different. If you can't comprehend, means you simply can't comprehend. It isn't a step-by-step understanding process but was rather more of something like either you understood it or you don't. There's a chance you could gain complete understanding in a single step and finish cultivating it. But as to the amount of power you can generate, that would depend on how deep your understanding of the profound mysteries are. The more you can comprehend, the more transformations you would be able to understand, which allowed you to generate and evolve even more different kinds of power.
God's Hand was a secret art that emphasizes on attack. The people who cultivate it are different, each proficient in different kinds of attribute energy. God's Hand is able to display countless transformations.
Three days later, everyone was still deeply immersed, including immortal emperor characters.
"Are you guys done yet?" At this moment, a voice rang out in the ears of everyone, causing them to open their eyes as they stared at Emperor Yu who was in the air. They then stepped out of the formation, but their eyes were constantly glancing to it while frowning.
The Violet Emperor slammed his palm through the air as a gigantic palm imprint shot towards the sky. When Emperor Yu saw this, he laughed, "Is that God's Hand? That's just a gigantic palm print right?"
"The God's Hand here is not complete. The form is here but the essence is missing. Where is the divine essence of this secret art?" The Violet Emperor inclined his head, looking at Emperor Yu. His eyes gleamed with sharpness as a tyrannical aura gushed forth from him.
"As an immortal emperor of the immortal realms, you still need others to teach you the divine essence?" Emperor Yu laughed as he stared at the Violet Emperor. "Just from this point, you are far inferior compared to the ancient emperors of old."
The Violet Emperor's eyes narrowed, streams of violet qi towered up into the sky, forming a fearsome tempest. Emperor Yu shrugged, "Why? You can't accept the criticism of others?"
"I will definitely step into the realm the ancient emperors are in." The Violet Emperor coldly spoke. "Now, tell us where is the divine essence."
"It should be inside the ancient mountain." At this moment, the immortal emperor from the Jiang Clan spoke. His eyes shone with a divine glow as he pointed to an ancient towering mountain in the distance. Over there, there was something his eyes couldn't see through. The secrets hidden there were too abstruse even for him.
"Go take a look." The demon emperor golden condor rushed over, yet Emperor Yu smiled. "There's no need for you to act. You guys want to obtain the full complete version of God's Hand? I'm afraid none of you here have that ability."
"You talk too much nonsense." An intense battle intent radiated from the demon emperor.
Emperor Yu glanced at one of the experts beside him. That expert flashed by, moving in the direction of a mountain some distance away. A moment later, the clouds atop the mountain started surging, it was actually a terrifying grand formation.
After the clouds dispersed, a gigantic diagram could be seen there, sealing this space. Emperor Yu stretched his hand out as a golden object twinkled in his hand. It was actually a golden arrow that radiated a towering sharpness.
"Swish~" The sound of an arrow piercing through air could be heard. The arrow shuttled through space and shot into the diagram in an instant, creating a loud explosive sound. The entire world seemed to change as the ancient mountain covered in mist, which was pointed out by the Jiang Clan's immortal emperor from before, appeared in the vision of everyone present. The immortal emperors instantly sent streams of their immortal senses into it, however they only felt a mysterious force blocking their probing.
"Bzz!" A raging wind kick up as demonic qi filled the air. An incomparably resplendent golden light enveloped this space as the demon emperor shot through the air with inconceivable speed, instantly stepping into the ancient mountain. The eyes of the other immortal emperors flashed as they too, prepared to act.
But at this very instant, a torrential might swept out of the mountain. The golden condor demon emperor instantly flew up into the skies, wanting to evade it. Boundless golden light illuminated this entire space as an all-out annihilation palm imprint shot out, blotting out the sun.
The demon emperor roared as he was forced back several hundred miles away. Over there, thunderous booms rang out. Fissures and cracks could be seen on the ground and the mountains in that area had been completely shattered.
"ROAR!" The demon emperor let out deafening roars, the supreme might radiating from him made everyone in the surroundings with a lower cultivation base feel pressured to grovel and prostate on the ground. A single palm imprint from the ancient mountain had obstructed and forced back the demon emperor.
Emperor Yu's eyes gleamed with light as he swept his gaze over everyone. "The divine essence of God's Hand is within this ancient mountain. But even so, I'm afraid none of the immortal emperors here would be able to enter."
Chapter 1062: Changes in the Situation
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
A raging wind gusted by, as a golden light flashed. The golden condor demon emperor returned. His countenance was extremely sharp, glaring at Emperor Yu.
"Why are you looking at me in this manner? I'm not the one who told you to go in, you wanted to enter there yourself." Emperor Yu calmly replied. He then continued, "Everyone here is an extraordinary individual. Since you all want the secret art so badly, I shall allow you all to obtain it. But don't blame me if you fail to comprehend, that would truly be ridiculous."
"What is in the ancient mountain?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor walked up and asked.
The gazes of everyone turned to Emperor Yu. It seems that it wouldn't be so easy to obtain the secret art God's Hand. Even if Emperor Yu allowed them to comprehend as they will, it was extremely difficult.
"I've said before that I'm only the protector of this secret art. God's Hand is something left behind by Senior Emperor Yi. If any of you can comprehend the divine essence, you may have a chance to anoint your head with the purest cream, gaining instant enlightenment. But let me remind you guys again that the ancient mountain is not so easy to gain access to. The stronger your cultivation base is, the more powerful the resistance would be. The reason for this is because the stronger you are the more real it would be, akin to a real attack from God's Hand aimed right at you."
Emperor Yu's eyes gradually turned sharp. Since these people wished to obtain God's Hand, he might as well take advantage of this and fully reveal it to the public. There was even a young man among these people who managed to comprehend the rudimentary form of God's Hand in the City of Ancient Emperors. Right now, it would depend on one's fate and destiny. If someone was able to obtain this inheritance, he as the protector, would also be able to let go of all this.
"Emperor Yi was merely an ancient character. How can the immortal sense he left behind stop us?" The Violet Emperor stood there with unwillingness etched on his face. His eyes flickered with ambition as he exuded even more imposingness, staring right at the ancient mountain.
"I don't wish to repeat myself. The complete God's Hand is right before your eyes. If you have the ability, just go ahead and obtain it. There's no need to waste words. I also know that you all have come from afar, and probably wouldn't have the patience to banter with this old man." Emperor Yu casually spoke. The Violet Emperor's silhouette flashed as he appeared at the entrance of the ancient mountain.
Violet qi rose from the east, purple rays of light filled the skies. The figure of the Violet Emperor was like a divinity that contained boundless might. He took a step out, moving towards the ancient mountain.
His silhouette vanished directly from sight as he entered the mountain.
A formless pressure emanated from the ancient mountain. For the surrounding area of a thousand miles, the hearts of everyone were shaking.
Within the ancient mountain, violet light flashed as a supreme might enveloped the space. Despite being far away, the people at the God Hand Mountain Manor could feel the earth beneath their feet quaking endlessly as fissures opened up on the ground.
"RUMBLE!" A terrifying stifling aura instantly gushed outwards. The sound of a thunderous blast boomed out. They had no way to see what was happening in the interior of the ancient mountain. After some time, boundless violet light shot up into the skies as the silhouette of the Violet Emperor appeared there, in an extremely miserable state. His eyes gleamed with purple light, and was staring at the ancient mountain with an incredibly ugly expression on his face.
"Even the Violet Emperor couldn't gain entry?" The hearts of the crowd shuddered. If the Violet Emperor couldn't even enter, most probably none of the immortal emperors present here today would be able to enter.
The Violet Emperor wasn't convinced, he tried to enter again and as he stepped inside, that terrifying stifling aura gushed outwards once more. Not long after, the Violet Emperor was blasted back once more. This time around, he didn't continue to persist but chose to return to the mountain manor with an ugly expression on his face.
"You go in and try it." The Violet Emperor spoke to an immortal king subordinate. That person nodded and stepped out, moving towards the ancient mountain.
The gazes of everyone turned over, all focused on that immortal king.
And at this moment, another terrifying sound of collision rang out. Although it wasn't as intense as before, the sound still caused the hearts of everyone to tremble. Not long after, that immortal king expert was forced back by the force. He coughed out a mouth of blood but the injuries weren't fatal.
An ancient mountain that could block the Violet Emperor's entry, yet it couldn't kill an immortal king? Emperor Yu didn't say anything but it was obvious that the stronger the cultivation base one had, the more amount of resistance one would face.
"Xiao Emperor, how about letting your daughter attempt it?" Zi Daolong glanced at Xiao Lengyue as he spoke. Xiao Lengyue's cultivation base was the lowest among everyone here, at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon. She hasn't ascended to immortality yet.
The gaze of Xiao Emperor stiffened as he hesitated. The eyes of the Violet Emperor flashed with an imposingness, impatient at the hesitation. Despite them both being immortal emperors, the Violet Emperor's cultivation base was higher than his.
Hence, immortal emperors might be immortal emperors. But in the eyes of the Violet Emperor, weaker immortal emperors were no different to immortal kings. In the Immortal Emperor Realm, if you were stronger than others by just a single level, you had enough power to suppress them completely.
"Father, I shall attempt it." Xiao Lengyue stated. The Xiao Emperor only nodded then. "I will bring you over."
As he spoke, the Xiao Emperor brought Xiao Lengyue along as he headed towards the ancient mountain, depositing her just outside of it.
Right now, there was no aura emanating out from the ancient mountain. The Xiao Emperor saw his daughter slowly advancing step-by-step towards the entrance with nothing out of the ordinary happening. His gaze then turned to the direction of the God Hand Mountain Manor, feeling incredibly astonished and shocked in his heart.
"My daughter doesn't seem to have encountered any resistance and she is already inside the ancient mountain." The Xiao Emperor spoke.
"Not feeling any resistance indicates that it's useless even if she entered." Emperor Yu casually smiled. "The divine essence of the secret art God's Hand is within. If she can't even sense the divine essence, what business does she have inside there?"
"In that case, immortal kings and immortal foundation characters are the most suitable to enter the ancient mountain?" An immortal emperor from the Jiang Clan asked. Emperor Yu smiled, "Any character of any cultivation realm is suitable to enter. God's Hand is just before your eyes. It will depend on your fate to see if you would be able to comprehend it. However, let me warn all of you, since everyone wants this so much, I have opened the door and allowed everyone to come into contact with the secret art of Senior Emperor Yi. I don't need any of your gratitude, but if the disciples or descendants of any of you are injured or even die here, you mustn't blame it on this old man. If not, that would simply be ridiculous."
"As long as you stay here in sight of everyone, we won't blame you if the people of our clan meet some mishaps after they entered." An immortal emperor from the Ying Clan spoke, his words causing the other immortal emperors to nod in agreement as their eyes gleamed sharply.
That's right. Emperor Yu needed to remain out here in the open within their sights. Who knows if he could control the power within the ancient mountain?
"Okay, I will stay here then. Everyone, please feel free to attempt it." Emperor Yu wasn't bothered about the other party's outrageous request. He carefreely continued, "Lu, go prepare a banquet here. This old man shall welcome these guests from afar."
"Roger." Butler Lu nodded, he then went and relayed the command to the servants of the manor. Not long after, tables were set up and food and wine were served.
Emperor Yu sat there, smiling as he watched the changes in the situation.
"Everyone, please feel free to join me." Emperor Yu waved his hands casually, exuding a relaxed demeanor.
The other immortal emperors weren't as tranquil as Emperor Yu. They respectively commanded the immortal kings under them to probe the ancient mountain. Not only them, many immortal kings of the other major powers of the Southern Region also attempted it. Thunderous booming sounds of collision rang out unceasingly as those immortal kings were blasted outwards, failing to gain entry. There were even many who were injured and this was only them attempting to breach the entrance of the ancient mountain. They had yet to enter the depths of it and had no idea what secrets are within.
Immortal kings couldn't get in, they could only try out with immortal foundation experts. And as expected, because immortal foundation experts' cultivation bases are weaker, the resistance they met, were weaker as well. Some were forced back, but some succeeded in entering.
After time and time of experimenting, they finally seemed to see hints the rule in this ancient mountain.
At this moment, the experts of the Southern Phoenix Clan were seated together enjoying the banquet. Nanfeng Guhong stared at the surrounding as she spoke in a low voice, "It is not so easy to obtain God's Hand."
"It's a secret art of an ancient emperor. It naturally wouldn't be so easy to comprehend." Qin Wentian smiled.
"Can you see through it?" Nanfeng Guhong's gaze turned to Qin Wentian.
"Senior, before this Emperor Yu said that the divine essence of the secret art is within the ancient mountain but the stronger one is, the more powerful the resistance in the form of an attack they would face when they attempt to enter. But this means that they also have the opportunity to comprehend more things. For those with weaker cultivations, they are able to enter easily but they won't be able to see anything. What use is there then? Hence if one wants to obtain the secret art, immortal kings and immortal foundation experts are the most suitable choice. But if they wish to comprehend it, they would first have to endure a power far beyond their cultivation level blasting at them." Qin Wentian spoke.
"I don't think so. If the truth is according to what you say, wouldn't there be no solution? I believe that since Emperor Yi left his inheritance here, he must have truly wanted to find a successor and wouldn't waste the time of people. Only those with true abilities can enter the depths of the ancient mountain, gaining the qualifications to probe the mysteries of the secret art. However, merely this entrance has already obstructed so many people." Nanfeng Guhong calmly spoke. Her thoughts were what the other immortal emperors were thinking. They had already prepared to dispatch the most elite people of their sects or clans, including their descendants.
"Oh, let me remind all the immortal emperors. If your immortal sense is activated within the ancient mountain, you will instantly feel the resistance caused by the divine essence of God's Hand. However, your immortal sense lacks the power of your true body and is far inferior. The strands of protective immortal sense on your descendants and disciples would be wiped away instantly and hence, all of you better be careful when you consider the choice of sending your elite disciples and descendants inside." Emperor Yu laughed, his words causing many of the immortal emperors present to gaze coldly at him.
Although it was so, they had no other choices. One can only cultivate the secret art by entering the mountain. There was an opportunity within, and sending their descendants in personally would be the best choice. The divine essence wasn't a cultivation technique inscribed in a manual, there was no way to bring it out save for comprehending the profound mysteries of it within the mountain.
"Ziyu, do you wish to enter?" The immortal emperor of the Jiang Clan asked.
"Since there's an opportunity present, I naturally would choose to take it." Jiang Ziyu's eyes gleamed sharply.
"Good. I've already told the clan to send more heaven chosen over to accompany you in entering the ancient mountain." The Jiang Clan immortal emperor stated. Not only him, the Ying Clan was doing the same as well.
"I'm afraid they would send for reinforcements. My Southern Phoenix Clan will also send more geniuses over to enter the ancient mountain. You guys should continue to comprehend the God's Hand energy so that there would be a higher chance of success." Nanfeng Guhong stated. The reappearance of God's Hand in the Southern Region, clearly triggered a huge wave of commotion.
After several days, even more experts arrived at the God Hand Mountain Manor. Emperor Yu was still as carefree as before, idling chatting leisurely as though all this had nothing to do with him. He was like an uninvolved spectator, content to stare at the changes in the situation.
After a few more days, even the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and Bai Wuya arrived, both appearing at the same time. There were also some people whom Qin Wentian had never met before, but they were all extraordinary characters with cultivation bases at the different levels of the Immortal Foundation Realm.
Chapter 1063: Stepping into the Ancient Mountain
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The experts gathered in the God Hand Mountain Manor increased in number. The immortal emperors present attempted many times and understood that immortal foundation experts were the best choice to try it. Only they had a chance to enter the depths of the ancient mountain, and comprehend the divine essence of God's Hand, obtaining the full complete version. Hence, they summoned many immortal foundation people from their sects and clans.
In fact. right now there were already immortal foundation experts that had entered the ancient mountain. But these people could only walk near the boundary of the entrance and had no way to enter deeper. Only a rare few supreme geniuses among them had vanished from the perception and vision of the crowd, managing to advance into the depths of the mountain.
Qin Wentian was in no hurry. He was sitting cross-legged, staring at the diagram of God's Hand formed by Emperor Yu as he silently continued to perceive and comprehend.
Leaving aside immortal emperors and immortal kings who had extraordinary comprehension prowess, at the level of immortal foundation, Qin Wentian believed that there's no one here who had a deeper understand of God's Hand compared to him. After all, he is the only one who had cultivated the rudimentary form of this secret art before and could already unleash its power. His comprehension towards the complete God's Hand got deeper and deeper as he learned of more principles behind the transformations and how to manifest them
Emperor Yu was as carefree as ever, sitting in a pavilion enjoying the banquet. No matter how many people arrived at the mountain manor, he didn't seem to care at all, allowing them to do what they wanted. It was like all of this had nothing to do with him.
"Ziyu, are you not entering?" The immortal emperor from the Jiang Clan asked Jiang Ziyu who was currently sitting cross-legged. There were already many who stepped into the ancient mountain, including people from the Ying Clan. However, Jiang Ziyu seemed content to wait.
"There's no hurry, I wish to comprehend the energy from God's Hand more first. The more familiar I am, the more advantageous it would be when it comes to comprehending the divine essence. In addition, I'm waiting for one person to enter first." Jiang Ziyu spoke in a low voice while glancing at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was someone who had cultivated God's Hand once before. Since Qin Wentian wasn't in a hurry, why should he be in a hurry?
"In that case I will get the other members of our Jiang Clan to wait with you." The immortal emperor from the Jiang Clan spoke. Although there were other geniuses of the Jiang Clan present, Jiang Ziyu's talent was the highest and his status among these people was the highest as well. If anyone could comprehend God's Hand, Jiang Ziyu would be the one who had the greatest hope. The other geniuses of the Jiang Clan were here merely to assist him.
Nanfeng Guhong wasn't in a rush too. She stared at Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi and she planned to ask the members of the Southern Phoenix Clan to accompany them both when they entered.
Qin Wentian spent a few more days in comprehension. His body faintly shimmered with immortal light but there was a huge transformation in his body. Numerous complex runes appeared on top of his immortal foundation as they transformed into different kinds of runic diagrams, filling him with extreme energy, and would permeate the entire area if he didn't suppress them. However, he seemed to be lacking a single step. This was like the time when he went to the underground palace with Xiao Lengyue. Only the form of God's Hand was there, it was not until he learned the oracular chant and comprehended the divine essence from the blood-colored runes did he finally discover how to activate the rudimentary form of God's Hand.
The secret should really be inside the ancient mountain.
Today, a mysterious figure appeared at the God Hand Mountain Manor. There was a gigantic huge black hound that exuded a terrifying balefulness who came here together with this person. The eyes of the hound shone with a fearsome phantom-like light, causing chills in the hearts of everyone when they looked at it.
The person beside this black hound wore simple long robes and exuded a mysterious aura. His features and age couldn't be seen as there was a mysterious bronze mask obscuring his face. However his eyes that were revealed, were immeasurably deep and cold, one could feel a sense of supreme sharpness from them. But even so, one could also tell that this person shouldn't be old and should be a young man. His cultivation base was only at the immortal foundation level.
Jiang Ziyu glanced at this mysterious newcomer. His eyes turned incomparably terrifying, shining with a bright light as he wanted to see past all the mysteries surrounding this new arrival. At the same time, the masked young man sensed Jiang Ziyu's gaze as he too, looked over to him. Jiang Ziyi only saw a pair of eyes containing a formless shield-type energy, blocking his perception completely. He had no way to see through this masked young man.
Jiang Ziyu's eyes flickered, he didn't expect there would be someone like this here. Things were getting more and more interesting.
The mysterious masked young man glanced at everyone before closing his eyes in meditation. Everyone saw that he was alone and didn't really bother with him. In fact there were even people who silently sneered, thinking that this young man had nothing better to do, wanting to act mysterious. What a waste of time.
At this moment Qin Wentian stood up. Several people turned their gazes onto him only to see him nodding his head to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and Bai Wuya.
"You seem to be living very well in the Southern Phoenix Clan." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord smiled when he saw the many beauties beside Qin Wentian.
"Not too bad. The Southern Phoenix Clan really takes good care of me." Qin Wentian smiled.
"Mhm, seems like your harvest this trip isn't little. Anyway, it's about time for you to enter." The Thousand Transformation Emperor Lord spoke.
"Okay." Qin Wentian nodded as his gaze turned to the ancient mountain. Stepping out, he moved in that direction.
Nanfeng Yunxi and the others from the Southern Phoenix Clan followed after. The group of young geniuses beside the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and Bai Wuya also stepped out, preparing to enter the ancient mountain.
Jiang Ziyu stood up as he commanded, "Let's go."
As the sound of his voice faded, the experts from the Jiang Clan also moved towards the ancient mountain.
Dongsheng Ting stared at Qin Wentian's silhouette as his eyes gleamed with coldness. Following which, he and the other experts from the immortal emperor-ranked powers also moved out at the same time. It was like because of Qin Wentian's actions, it triggered everyone to act as well.
After all the immortal foundation characters entered the ancient mountain. That mysterious masked young man gently stroked the fur of the black hound before leading it together with him as they walked towards the ancient mountain.
Very swiftly, only immortal kings and emperors remained here, as well as some who failed to gain entry to the mountain.
"With so many geniuses coming here to seek good fortune, there would surely be some that died within. In addition, there are also descendants of many of you entering there, so let me remind you that if they unfortunately die in there, don't blame this old man for it. This is the road you all have chosen." Emperor Yu spoke, his tone was filled with indifference.
"Hmph." The Violet Emperor snorted coldly. Among his descendants, Zi Daoyang was the youngest with the lowest cultivation base. As for his other sons and daughters, they were no longer at the immortal foundation realm. This time around, he sent a nephew with outstanding talent into the ancient mountain.
"Naturally. There would surely be some who die within." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor coldly spoke as he turned his gaze over to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.
"Eastern Sage. Who do you think would die if Qin Wentian encountered Dongsheng Ting inside there alone?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed as he stared at the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's eyes flickered with coldness, "Qin Wentian would die."
"Is that so? But I heard that your precious son Dongsheng Ting didn't even have the courage to fight one-on-one against Qin Wentian." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord mocked. "Bai Wuya told me that back when you went to his particle world for disciple recruitment purposes, Qin Wentian was merely a low-level ascendant while your son Dongsheng Ting was already a high up and lofty immortal foundation expert. Your son is truly trash, he doesn't even dare to fight? Such a coward, let's hope he can walk out of the ancient mountain alive."
The expression on Eastern Sage's face turned extremely cold as a tyrannical might exuded from him. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed coldly, "What? You want to fight me now?"
"Thousand Transformations, let's hope that you can continue to be so arrogant." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor threatened. He then turned to Bai Wuya, his eyes gleaming with coldness. Back then during the war in the particle world, if it wasn't for Bai Wuya interfering, his Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would have already decimated the experts of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.
Right now, Qin Wentian and the others successfully stepped through the entrance and were already in the ancient mountain. There seemed to be a marvelous energy in the atmosphere inside the mountain.
However right now, all of a sudden, a rushing sound rang out as an ethereal gigant palm imprint appeared out of nowhere, ferociously blasting towards them.
Qin Wentian's immortal foundation gushed forth with might as he activated God's Hand, blasting a palm strike towards that gigantic ethereal palm imprint.
The others here also experienced the impact, but when they fought back against the ethereal palm imprint, the repulsion effect wasn't as strong as that of Qin Wentian.
"What secrets lie within this mountain exactly?" Qin Wentian mused. As he took another step forward, the motes of marvelous energy in here interweaved together and formed another palm imprint that shone with divine light. Another burst of rushing sound rang out as the giant palm smashed into Qin Wentian. At the instant of impact, a bolt of lightning went off in Qin Wentian's mind. That was precisely the energy of the giant palm that struck him earlier.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian's body trembled violently. He gave a low groan of misery as his countenance turned somewhat pale.
This unfathomable ancient mountain was simply terrifying.
Nanfeng Yunxi and Jun Mengchen also encountered attacks, yet the power in those attacks weren't as intense as Qin Wentian. Although it was uncomfortable, they could endure it and there was no problem for them to enter the ancient mountain. This was something the immortal emperors had deduced after attempting many times. Immortal foundation characters were the most suitable people to enter the ancient mountain.
Jiang Ziyu and his group were behind Qin Wentian. He waited for Qin Wentian to enter before doing so himself. His eyes shone with a terrifying golden light as he radiated a towering might. A white tiger manifested and rushed out with thunderous roars, defending against something. Evidently, his eyes could see something others could not. He saw traces of the divine essence.
"How strange. Despite me being at the immortal foundation realm, I can already see some traces of the divine essence. If immortal emperors could enter, wouldn't they be able to see through everything? Also, it seems that the more you can see, the stronger the force in those conjured attacks against you would be. Immortal emperors might not even be able to withstand the brunt of a full-powered attack. These ancient emperors truly lived up to their reputation, they are too terrifying." Jiang Ziyu silently mused, he became much more cautious than before, and didn't dare to activate his heavenly vision technique of the buddhist path casually.
Dongsheng Ting stared at the back view of Qin Wentian. To him, the main purpose of entering here was to kill Qin Wentian.
Behind Dongsheng Ting and his comrades, the mysterious masked young man closed his eyes and sealed away all his six senses as he slowly proceeded on. He didn't encounter any resistance. The reason he was here, wasn't for God's Hand.
"Although we were attacked, the formless intent of those attacks would gush into our mind, allowing us to sense the divine essence. Truly, it bears a hint of resemblance to the form of God's Hand which Emperor Yu showed us earlier." Nanfeng Shengge spoke in a low voice. She then continued, "However, the distance between the true God's Hand and this is simply too far apart. I'm afraid that to many people, they are all risking their lives in this expedition for nothing."
"This is indeed so." Qin Wentian nodded. "Everyone, it is better to be more careful."
As they spoke, they continued advancing into the depths of the ancient mountain. In front of them were many experts who also chose to enter the mountain. All their steps were filled with cautiousness, advancing at a very slow pace.
Chapter 1064: Desire to Kill
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
As the experts headed deeper into the mountains, there gradually were some who could no longer endure the resistance attacks and were forced to stop.
This ancient mountain seemed endlessly deep, and was incredibly mysterious. There would be strange sounds drifting out from within occasionally, similar to the music of the Great Dao. The sounds caused the people in here to tremble involuntarily, as though shocked by lightning.
Yet, Qin Wentian felt something calling out to him as he continued advancing inwards. The divine essence of God's Hand permeated the entire atmosphere.
His eyes glanced at a certain peak and instantly, Qin Wentian felt as though he was mired in an illusion. On that peak, a gigantic diagram in the form of a human could be seen. The diagram was shimmering with fearsome might and all of a sudden, a terrifying palm imprint shot out. Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed, as though he wanted to see through this palm imprint. Stepping out, the entire energy in his body erupted as immortal light from his immortal foundation surrounded the area. God's Hand was activated as he blasted a palm strike of his own outwards.
"BOOM!" The space trembled. Force from the impact that was powerful enough that it could flatten a mountain and overturn oceans radiated outwards. Qin Wentian continued staring ahead, his terrifying eyes were as though they wanted to see through everything, including the mysteries of the runic diagram. Right now, a marvelous energy birthed in his body as boundless runes flowed endlessly.
Rumbling sounds filled the air, as numerous palm imprints blasted forth from the diagram, containing an all-out annihilative might, aiming at him. The demon sword appeared in Qin Wentian's hand, radiating an overwhelming demonic energy as the power from his God's Hand infused within. The immortal energy from his immortal foundation was channelled into it as well. With a thunderous slash, it seemed like a great roc shot out, mercilessly shattering the numerous palm imprints smashing towards him.
Qin Wentian slowly flew upwards, soaring into the air.
At this moment, a marvelous stream of energy streamed into him, directly ringing out in his mind like a bolt of lightning. The diagram he saw in his mind's eye grew clearer by several times but the demon sword in his hand didn't stop slashing out. Finally, the divine essence in this area grew fainter and fainter but the light in Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed even more brightly with a divine glow.
Qin Wentian then kept his demon sword. When he turned his head, he realized the other experts were still resisting the attacks. Evidently, he was not the only one who could sense the divine essence here.
"Shengge." At this moment, a voice drifted over from ahead. Nanfeng Shengge turned her gaze over only to see Kong Ye and Zong Zhan standing there, glancing at her. The person who spoke was Kong Ye. "Shengge, there seems to be traces of a Grand Dao here, they are able to transform into attacks and blast us. Do you want to travel together with us?"
"It's fine, we have many people with us." Nanfeng Shengge smiled and shook her head. Kong Ye glanced at Qin Wentian as well as the other experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan as he nodded, not saying anything more.
"Let's continue." Qin Wentian spoke when he saw everyone stopping. They headed deeper into the depths of the mountain. Other than the people of the Southern Phoenix Clan, the people brought here by the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and Bai Wuya were close to them as well.
Behind them, were people from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and Violet Emperor Sect. Among these people, Dongsheng Ting and another young man was in the lead. That other young man was none other than the nephew of the Violet Emperor. His name was Zi Yunwu and he had outstanding talent. The Violet Emperor heavily regards this nephew of his and has taught him some of his secret arts which caused Zi Yunwu to be extremely powerful.
Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu conspicuously followed behind Qin Wentian. Their gazes flickered with coldness when they glanced at Qin Wentian. This caused a mysterious smile to appear on Jiang Ziyu's face. He was somewhere in their surroundings and it seems like there would soon be some good drama to watch in the ancient mountains. He only needed to wait for the show.
Jiang Ziyu's gaze would occasionally glance at the mysterious masked young man who was advancing forward with his eyes closed. This man was travelling with the black hound and was heading off in a direction where there were no others.
"Sir, do you want to travel together? We can take care of each other if trouble arises." Jiang Ziyu spoke, staring at the mysterious masked young man.
"No thanks." The masked young man replied in a faint tone with no fluctuations. Jiang Ziyu smiled, he wasn't bothered by the rejection.
...….
In the blink of an eye, Qin Wentian and the others had entered the ancient mountain for three days.
During these three days, the atmosphere at the God Hand Mountain Manor was as calm as before. Emperor Yu gave the order to extend the banquet to entertain the people here. Everyone was welcome to join.
The Violet Emperor, Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the others didn't leave. All the immortal emperors had sent people affiliated to them into the ancient mountain. They were naturally waiting for good news from their subordinates.
"Emperor Yu, was this ancient mountain truly left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi?" The Violet Emperor stared at Emperor Yu as he asked.
"Naturally." Emperor Yu nodded with a smile. "If not, how can an ancient mountain obstruct you, the great Violet Emperor from entering even though you wanted to?"
"What cultivation realm did Emperor Yi reach exactly?" The Violet Emperor asked.
"You should have heard of it before." Emperor Yu smiled. "Being able to dominate the entire immortal realms in an era, only one who is at that realm, would be able to do so. Even though you are a peak-level immortal emperor, you most probably wouldn't be able to even withstand a single strike from him."
"Hmph." A look of unhappiness appeared on the Violet Emperor's face. Although he knew Emperor Yu's words were true, he was confident that sooner or later, he would too, break through to that realm.
"Emperor Yu, Ancient Emperor Yi left the divine essence of his secret art inside the ancient mountain. This indicates that one would only be able to obtain the inheritance if they enter within. It would be useless to kidnap the one who obtains God's Hand. Seems like Emperor Yi heavily regards this secret art and was worried that his successor would encounter misfortune." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor laughed.
"For heaven-defying secret arts like God's Hand, other than some unique secret techniques, which other secret arts would be easy to cultivate? An example is the Ultimate Violet Saint Immortal Art of the Violet Emperor. Could it be that you can easily learn it just by kidnapping his descendants? If things were so simple, wouldn't things be extremely dangerous for the descendants of the Violet Emperor? This is the same for the Jiang Clan and the Southern Phoenix Clan. Who else would still dare to roam the immortal realms?" Emperor Yu laughed coldly. "Eastern Sage, stop talking nonsense."
"Emperor Yu, it seems like you are trying to hide something." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor smiled casually. "According to what I know, a junior of the latter generations managed to comprehend and cultivate the rudimentary form of God's Hand in the City of Ancient Emperors. You opening up the ancient mountain, does that have something to do with this junior?"
"You are trying to ask if my actions were for him alone right?" Emperor Yu smiled. "The complete version of God's Hand has been displayed before all of your eyes. You guys are immortal emperors, yet you are still suspecting this? How truly ridiculous."
"I'm merely just wondering, please don't take offense at that. I naturally believe you. If not, if you really opened up the ancient mountain for a single junior, wouldn't that be a waste of effort? The recently resurfaced God's Hand would disappear in the immortal realms once again. That would really be too much of a pity." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor calmly added. Nanfeng Guhong and the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord's eyes flashed when they heard that. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord then spoke, "Eastern Sage, are you boasting again?"
"Boasting?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor drank a cup of wine as he smiled, "I wonder if you still have a protective strand of immortal sense on him. If you have, you would naturally be able to see what happens when he dies. Sadly, the ancient mountain would exterminate all immortal senses almost instantly. You won't be able to save Qin Wentian."
"Eastern Sage, as an immortal emperor, you actually went all out to ensure the death of a junior who recently stepped into the immortal foundation realm. In fact, you even needed to scheme so much, I truly feel shame for you." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord coldly spoke. From the tone of Eastern Sage, it seems that he was exceedingly confident in being able to kill Qin Wentian. Most probably, those disciples from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect were sent into the ancient mountain to kill Qin Wentian under the pretext of trying to obtain God's Hand.
...
Right now, Qin Wentian and the others already entered the depths of the ancient mountain. Over here, small peaks could be seen everywhere. This mysterious ancient mountain seemed to have no end to it. During these few days, Qin Wentian and the others had comprehended several different kinds of energy as they faced different attacks. The number of experts in here dwindled as well. And the deeper they headed into the ancient mountain, the more profound the divine essence would be. In fact, because they couldn't even comprehend the existence of the divine essence, there were many among them who were no longer facing any resistance from the ancient mountain. For the remaining, their hearts would shudder occasionally, they could faintly sense a terrifying and mysterious energy permeating the atmosphere here.
At this moment, Qin Wentian and the others came before a vast mountain rampart. In the center, a narrow path could be seen but instead of rushing in, Qin Wentian was staring at the mountain rampart in a daze. There was a runic diagram inscribed on the rampart which manifested ancient runic words that endlessly brand themselves into Qin Wentian's sea of consciousness. These ancient runic words transformed into boundless streams of energy, ravaging his body from within.
Upon circulating the energy from the rudimentary form of God's Hand, those ancient runic words grew clearer in his mind. His immortal foundation radiated light as the runes transformed into even stronger attacks that blasted him from within.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" Qin Wentian only felt his body shaking unceasingly from the impact of those attacks. Cracking sounds even rang out from his bones as his countenance grew pale. Also, the more he circulated the energy of the rudimentary God's Hand, the more fearsome these attacks seemed to be. He felt that his body was being lacerated apart bit by bit.
"If one wants to cultivate God's Hand, one can only do so if one has a supremely strong physique." Qin Wentian mused. The people in the surroundings also attempted to comprehend this but at this very moment, Qin Wentian felt a trace of killing intent lock onto him. He turned abruptly and soon after, he saw Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu leading their experts to surround him and his comrades.
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with coldness. Dongsheng Ting and the others kept following behind him. How could Qin Wentian not know what their plans were? He has been waiting, he wanted to see what capabilities Dongsheng Ting had exactly.
The experts on both sides were quite numerous. Before the start of battle, it was unknown which side would be victorious.
"Now, even if you wish to exit, it is no longer possible." Dongsheng Ting icily spoke, staring at Qin Wentian.
"Where does your confidence come from?" Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with killing intent. He wanted Dongsheng Ting dead as well.
Dongsheng Ting turned to Nanfeng Yunxi and the others from the Southern Phoenix Clan. "Everyone from the Southern Phoenix Clan, I don't wish to make things difficult for you guys. This is a personal grudge between Qin Wentian and us. If you don't interfere, you are welcome to stand aside and watch."
Nanfeng Yunxi stared at Dongsheng Ting, "Qin Wentian's matters are the matters of my Southern Phoenix Clan."
"In that case, we would have to offend the holy successor then." Dongsheng Ting coldly spoke. Numerous beams of immortal light flashed as those from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect took out immortal weapons. Qin Wentian, the experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, all took out immortal weapons as well.
Right now, there were people of all levels of the Immortal Foundation Realm here. Once a chaotic battle starts, things would get extremely dangerous.
Dongsheng Ting waved his hands as a fearsome-looking spinning disk containing many complicated runes appeared in his hands. It gave off a feeling of unfathomability and as Dongsheng Ting channeled immortal energy into it, the spinning disk started to release streams of silvery light that radiated an intense absorption might, intending on absorbing everything. Qin Wentian's demon sword hummed incessantly, it felt a little out of control and was about to fly off from his hand.
"Get over here!" Dongsheng Ting roared. The spinning wheel grew larger in size as the silvery strands of light shot out. With a loud swishing noise, the immortal weapon in the hands of a maiden from the Southern Phoenix Clan flew straight away from her hand, directly into the direction of the spinning wheel!
Chapter 1065: To Lure
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
"Devouring immortal weapons?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed as he directly slashed out with his demon sword, borrowing the force from the attraction. A beam of sword light ripped through the air. Dongsheng Ting snorted coldly. He stepped out as the spinning wheel in his hand shone as bright as ever. The energy of the demon sword slash was directly absorbed into the wheel, devoured cleanly.
At the same time, a strong attraction force wanted to absorb the demon sword away. Qin Wentian's expression changed as he roared, "Keep your immortal weapons!"
As the sound of his voice faded, his comrades all instantly kept their immortal weapons. The people from the Southern Phoenix Clan had unsightly expressions while those from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and the Violet Sect gradually circled around them, trapping them with immortal weapons in their hands.
"Qin Wentian, this ancient mountain shall be your burial grounds." Dongsheng Ting spoke coldly. The gigantic spinning wheel before him radiated a terrifying absorption force. The law energy from it could easily envelop this space, sealing Qin Wentian's options to use immortal weapons. In fact, the spinning wheel was even able to devour the immortal energy from their immortal foundations.
If that's the case, Dongsheng Ting and his side would be in a position of invincibility.
"Your preparations are truly sufficient. Seems like this is an immortal weapon given to you by old dog Eastern Sage, especially to deal with me." Qin Wentian spoke as he stared at Dongsheng Ting. The spinning wheel alone was able to counter all their immortal weapons. This caused Qin Wentian and his comrades to be much more vulnerable in comparison.
"Your life is going to end yet your mouth is still so cheap. No one can save you in this ancient mountain. KILL HIM!" Dongsheng Ting roared as the experts on his side surged towards Qin Wentian. At the same time, the nephew of the Violet Emperor, Zi Yunwu, also waved his hand as the experts from the Violet Sect also lunged forward.
Jiang Ziyu and the experts from the Jiang Clan stayed at the back to watch the drama. Things were finally heating up.
"Everyone disperse!" Qin Wentian retreated when he saw powerful killing beams shot by immortal weapons aiming for him. Everyone understood Qin Wentian's intention. Under such circumstances, they would only be sitting ducks if the gathered. The best plan was to spread out as wide as possible, making it difficult for Dongsheng Ting and his comrades to launch attacks that could easily wipe them out.
"KILL QIN WENTIAN!" Dongsheng Ting icily shouted. With a wave of his hand, his flying boat was powered by wind law energy and directly shot towards Qin Wentian. The numerous experts around him stepped on that boat as they soared towards the direction of Qin Wentian. This caused Nanfeng Yunxi's eyes to stiffen, many of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect's experts had very high cultivation bases, far surpassing Qin Wentian. In addition, they were using immortal weapons to deal with Qin Wentian alone. It was clear they wanted Qin Wentian to die, using their full strength to crush him.
"Stop them." Nanfeng Yunxi spoke. She once again flew towards Qin Wentians' direction. Combat abruptly broke out, and immortal might ravaged the area, creating a fearsome tempest in this space.
The experts of the Southern Phoenix Clan all gathered their strength and erupted forth with immortal might, forming a gigantic phoenix shadow dome, painting the sky red with scorching flames, protecting them.
"Qin Wentian come in here." Nanfeng Yunxi spoke to Qin Wentian. Dongsheng Ting and the others wanted to kill Qin Wentian alone. They didn't dare to act to kill her and the Southern Phoenix Clan's members.
Qin Wentian's expression showed an intense coldness. Dongsheng Ting waited until they were in the depths of the ancient mountain before acting, wanting to seal all his paths of retreat. However, he had allowed Dongsheng Ting to follow behind him. Didn't Dongsheng Ting realize that Qin Wentian was allowing him to do so, wanting to lure him into a trap?
"RUMBLE" Fearsome sounds rang out. Fearsome attacks were launched by Dongsheng Ting's subordinates, breaking apart the great phoenix shadow protecting the Southern Phoenix Clan's members. They had no choice but to retreat and without using immortal weapons, it was clear that they were at a disadvantage.
But at this moment, Dongsheng Ting suddenly felt an intense crisis of impending doom. A sword beam directly shot towards him, causing his expression to drastically change. He raised his hand and used the spinning wheel to block it. The sword beam bounced off the wheel, and an expert beside Dongsheng Ting screamed as his face was torn apart. The splash damage of the sword beam was redirected beside him.
Their attacks slowed, Dongsheng Ting also halted as his subordinates vigilantly crowded around him, preparing to guard him.
"Chi…" Another surge of sword qi descended, generating a beam of golden light. There wasn't much commotion but the power it radiated was extremely tyrannical. Space was all cleaved apart as the power of the sword beam swept over everything,
An expert beside Dongsheng Ting took out an ancient gigantic shield and rushed in front of him, blocking the attacks for everyone. However, an instant later, it felt like a bolt of thunder had hit the shield. The powerful impact forced everyone backwards, and only now did they clear see who the one who was attacking them. It was a young man that exuded an extreme sharpness, causing a fearsome sword might to permeate the area around him.
"An expert from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect." The eyes of the experts around Dongsheng Ting grew cold. The combat prowess of this man was too terrifying, he was able to slash out spatial sword attacks.
The moment this expert acted, the pressure on Qin Wentian and the Southern Phoenix Clan's experts lessened by a great deal. It made the recently erupted combat from a state of fiery explosion being dwindled to mere embers. The attacks of this expert weren't simply overwhelming powerful, he chose a good window to attack as well. The others couldn't help it and were forced to protect Dongsheng Ting.
Since they wanted to kill Qin Wentian, he would attack Dongsheng Ting.
Qin Wentian glanced at this person. This was the first time he saw this man but he knew that this person was on his side for sure. Because, this man was none other than one of the two disciples of the Heavenly Talisman Realm which Bai Wuya brought along. Also, this young man was an expert at the peak-level of immortal foundation.
"Send some men to deal with him." Dongsheng Ting glanced at the disciple from the Heavenly Talisman Realm as he spoke coldly. Several people around him exchanged glances and moments later, a few high-level immortal foundation experts walked towards that man with immortal weapons in their eyes. Although it was impossible for this man alone to change the tides of the battle, his attacking strength was too threatening, he could easily threaten the life of Dongsheng Ting and so, even if they can't kill him, they had to keep him occupied.
"Is it possible for you to kill Dongsheng Ting?" At this moment a voice drifted into Qin Wentian's ears. It was none other than a voice transmission from that disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
"If no others interfere, there shouldn't be any problems." Qin Wentian replied.
"Okay, it's best not to split the battle here into several fronts. We will act together with people from the Southern Phoenix Clan to delay the opponents here. You have to leave and lure Dongsheng Ting away before finding an opportunity to finish him off." That person spoke again. Qin Wentian's eyes flickered, this plan was feasible but it wouldn't be so easy to execute.
However if he could really lure Dongsheng Ting away, it means that the people here would once again be able to use their immortal weapons. If that's the case, it wouldn't be a problem for them to purposely drag the battle on.
"Go!" That person spoke. Qin Wentian abruptly turned and directly sprinted to the canyon behind him. Roc wings took form behind his back, he moved with the speed of lightning.
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FLEEING TO?" Dongsheng Ting, Zi Yunwu and an expert from the Xuan Emperor's Sect chased after Qin Wentian immediately when they saw he was attempting to flee. Scores of attacks were launched, opening up a path for them as they pursued him.
"Stop them." Nanfeng Yunxi commanded coldly. The experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan instantly went up to block. Dongsheng Ting and the others had no choice but to mobilize their men to obstruct the experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan and even so, there were still over ten experts including all of them who were frenziedly pursuing after Qin Wentian.
Nanfeng Yunxi's eyes flickered. She mounted on the puppet phoenix and sped towards the direction Qin Wentian was fleeing to.
"Hmph." Dongsheng Ting snorted coldly. They had an immortal-ranked flying boat of their own, the flying boat shuttled through space, rushing into the canyon ahead.
But at this moment, another expert suddenly appeared before them. It was none other than the other disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm. A small hill could be seen in his hand and it was obvious that he wrenched it out on his way descending from the air, wanting to use it to block them.
An expert beside Dongsheng Ting punched out, generation a million strands of fist light that destroyed the hill into countless pieces of rubble. But at this moment, a sudden gravity force field appeared around them. Dongsheng Ting, Zi Yunwu and their comrades suddenly felt as though the weight of a mountain was boring down on them, making it extremely hard for them to act.
"BOOM!" The expert in front stepped out, his immortal might erupted forth while Dongsheng Ting commanded, "Go and kill him."
"You guys go to help them too." Zi Yunwu commanded his subordinates. They split some of their forces, engaging that disciple from the Heavenly Talisman Realm while Zi Yunwu and Dongsheng Ting continued soaring through the air, chasing after Qin Wentian.
"GET DOWN!" The disciple from the Heavenly Talisman Realm's body gleamed with light as it was covered in indestructible stone armor. His palm grabbed the air as gigantic palm imprints containing a fearsome gravitation force manifested. Dongsheng Ting was unable to fly out of the force field in his flying boat and could only get down from it.
"GO DOWN AND KILL THIS MAN!" Dongsheng Ting roared in anger, staring at the canyon ahead. Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi had already fled far away.
"Young master." His guard warned.
"Don't worry, there are only two people ahead. The few of us should be able to handle them." Dongsheng Ting sped up as he shouted, "Quickly!"
"Roger." The nearby guards all circulated their immortal energy and rushed towards the disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm. At this moment, Dongsheng Ting and Zi Daoyang finally broke through the force field when that expert was distracted and continued down the canyon. Their eyes flickered with coldness as they continued pursuing Qin Wentian.
At the place of the main battle, Jiang Ziyu had a cold smile on his face as he observed the happenings. The people from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect went all out when fighting against those from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect but they couldn't help but to hold back when fighting people from the Southern Phoenix Clan. Because simply, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect didn't dare to antagonize the Southern Phoenix Clan. In addition, now that Dongsheng Ting had left the area, immortal weapons could be used again. Their opponents had no trouble dragging the battle on here.
Jiang Ziyu's gaze then turned to Dongsheng Ting's back view as he spoke in a low voice, "Dongsheng Ting is finished."
"Dongsheng Ting should possess the advantage right." A person beside Jiang Ziyu spoke.
"That expert at the entrance of the canyon as well as the one who used the spatial sword technique earlier were the strongest among the people here. He was able to delay Dongsheng Ting from breaking out of the force field but he purposely chose not to, allowing Dongsheng Ting to chase after Qin Wentian. Most probably, Qin Wentian has a method to kill Dongsheng Ting." Jiang Ziyu faintly smiled, as though he had high hopes of Qin Wentian's chances of killing Dongsheng Ting.
His eyes turned around again but when he saw that the earlier mysterious figure had disappeared, his brows couldn't help but twitch. That masked young man had actually vanished silently in the midst of the chaotic combat. How interesting!
Chapter 1066: Who is the one at the end of the rope?
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Right now, Nanfeng Yunxi was together with Qin Wentian, riding the puppet phoenix as they shuttled past the canyon. Other than the two of them, there was another female expert from the Southern Phoenix Clan. This female was someone in charge of protecting Nanfeng Yunxi and she has a very high cultivation base.
"There are three people catching up to us. Dongsheng Ting, and two from the Violet Emperor's faction. One of them has a low cultivation base, merely at the fourth-level. However, his status should be extraordinary and his protector is extremely powerful." The lady beside Nanfeng Yunxi spoke.
"In that case, Dongsheng Ting's guard must have been obstructed." Qin Wentian's eyes flickered as he spoke. "Will you be able to handle that person from the Violet Sect with the high level of cultivation?"
"If we both use immortal weapons, I don't dare to say for sure that I can defeat him but there should be no problem to delay him." She spoke.
"Good. In that case I would have to trouble senior to remain behind to stop the guard. You only need to obstruct him and leave Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu to me and Yunxi." Qin Wentian spoke.
"No problem." The female nodded. Her silhouette flickered as immortal might gushed forth from her. A fearsome image of a phoenix appeared in the air, obstructing the way. When Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu saw this, their eyes flickered. They mutually exchanged a glance, feeling that this matter was extremely troublesome. If they were obstructed here again, Qin Wentian might really give them the slip.
Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu, who was at the fourth-level of immortal foundation, felt that the two of them could handle Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi for sure. In addition, they had many immortal weapons at hand while their opponents wouldn't be able to use any. The two of them possessed an absolute advantage.
"Go deal with her. The two of us will continue chasing." Zi Yunwu didn't hesitate and commanded.
That person nodded. Zi Yunwu has many treasures on him, if he was together with Dongsheng Ting, the chances of failure was nil.
They continued speeding forth, and the flying boat they were on arced through the sky like a bolt of lightning. The female protector from the Southern Phoenix Clan was shocked by its speed. Since it came to this, her job was to delay the guard as long as possible.
"Under the circumstances of us not being able to use immortal weapons, we would be at a disadvantage if we fought two against two. Dongsheng Ting is the son of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, and the other person seems to be a descendant of the Violet Emperor as well. The treasures on them would surely be in abundance." Nanfeng Yunxi spoke to Qin Wentian.
"I know." Qin Wentian nodded. "Let's continue on our way."
"Okay." Nanfeng Yunxi didn't know what Qin Wentian was thinking but when she saw how confident he was, she felt certain that Qin Wentian would surely have a trump card capable of dealing with Dongsheng Ting.
"Qin Wentian, you won't be able to escape." From behind, a voice drifted over, echoing within the ancient mountain. Qin Wentian sped forward with even more speed and would occasionally encounter attacks generated by the divine essence. He had to guard his mind and steady his spirit to defend against the energy from the divine essence.
Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi finally arrived at a location with level ground. His silhouette flashed as he waved his hand. Instantly, a rumbling thunderous sound rang out as a majestic ancient city appeared before them. It was none other than the ancient and mobile Driftsnow City.
"Chi~!" Dongsheng Ting's flying boat directly broke through the air and arrived a few moments after them. The spinning wheel in his hand grew larger, its aura felt as though it could even absorb the heavens. Right now, under the pressure of the might generated from the spinning wheel, even the Driftsnow City was trembling.
"What level of immortal-ranked weapon is that exactly?" Nanfeng Yunxi stared at the spinning wheel of Dongsheng Ting. It felt like it was the king of immortal weapons, able to absorb everything.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian stomped on the ground. Bell chimes echoed through the air as fearsome arrows broke through space, shooting towards Dongsheng Ting. However with the spinning wheel in his hand, he effortlessly blocked all the attacks. And all those arrows that were as sharp as divine weapons were all absorbed into the spiral created by the spinning wheel. The silver light from the wheel then enveloped the gigantic ancient city, causing it to tremble even more intensely. Nanfeng Yunxi had no choice but to keep her puppet phoenix.
"With that treasure in his hand, including those guards protecting Dongsheng Ting...even if the experts on my side in the ancient mountain are as common as clouds, it would be as tough as ascending to the heavens if one wanted to kill him. However sadly, Dongsheng Ting has purposely chosen a path of death for himself." Qin Wentian's eyes were ice-cold, gleaming with killing intent. He kept the ancient city and continued moving forward with Nanfeng Yunxi.
"Do you really think you can flee?" Dongsheng Ting laughed coldly as his long hair fluttered in the wind, exuding an aura of extreme tyranny. The spinning wheel reduced in size, he mounted the flying boat together with Zi Yunwu and chasing after Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi. Given how little the distance between them was, it was basically impossible for Qin Wentian to escape from here.
"Let's go down." In front of them, a place surrounded by mountain walls could be seen. Qin Wentian brought Nanfeng Yunxi along and directly entered the place while Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu hurriedly pursued after. Finally, after entering this place, Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi no longer tried to flee ahead. Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu stood on their flying boat in the air and peered imperiously downwards, coldly staring at Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi.
"Holy successor of the Southern Phoenix Clan, why must you interfere in this? Please just leave the area." Dongsheng Ting spoke to Nanfeng Yunxi. Nanfeng Yunxi would surely have protective immortal senses on her body. Although immortal senses couldn't exist for long in this place, as long as it was triggered, the Southern Phoenix Clan would know that he was the one who wanted to kill Nanfeng Yunxi. If it wasn't for this, he would long have made Nanfeng Yunxi pay for her actions. This woman had a lofty status and was extremely beautiful.
Nanfeng Yunxi was as though she could sense the nefarious thoughts in Dongsheng Ting's eyes. Her gaze flickered with coldness but at this moment, Qin Wentian was trembling violently, involuntarily taking a few steps back. A bolt of thunder went off in his mind and when Nanfeng Yunxi inclined her head, her gaze suddenly froze as well. Only now did she realize that on the walls in the surroundings, the energy of the divine essence could be felt contained within, condensing into formless attacks that blasted into them.
"RUMBLE~" She took a step back and groaned in a low voice. Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu also both discovered that something was wrong. The divine essence here was extremely strong. To think that Qin Wentian actually chose such a location.
"Don't stare at the walls." Qin Wentian spoke to Nanfeng Yunxi. If one didn't look at or extend their perception, they wouldn't suffer the attacks formed by the divine essence. Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu also discovered this point. They fixed their gaze completely on Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi, not daring to attempt to sense the divine essence.
"Qin Wentian, how do you want to die?" Dongsheng Ting spoke arrogantly.
"Are you so sure of your own capabilities?" Qin Wentian stared at him.
"Back then you are merely an ant from a country bumpkin world in my eyes. Do you really think you can become a dragon? You will always be a lowly existence in my eyes. Even if you obtain the help of the Southern Phoenix Clan and Qing`er, you will still die here in the end. After your death, I will go with my royal father to the Evergreen Immortal Empire to pay a visit to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor as well as to Qing`er." A pair of gloves radiating a powerful immortal might appeared on his palms as Dongsheng Ting spoke.
"Dongsheng Ting are you so afraid of me? Why are you acting so cautious?" Qin Wentian stared at Dongsheng Ting as a mocking smile could be seen on his face. He then turned his gaze to Zi Yunwu, "Are you a descendant of the Violet Emperor?"
"I am Zi Yunwu. The Violet Emperor is my uncle. Since my cousin Daoyang has died, you must be buried with him." Zi Yunwu coldly spoke. Towering amounts of violet light radiated from him, capable of dominating everything. This was the secret art of the Violet Emperor - the Ultimate Violet Saint Immortal Art. It contained boundless might and he who is currently at the fourth-level of immortal-foundation, when he activated this secret art, was much stronger than Zi Daoyang in comparison.
"Who?" At this moment, Zi Yunwu suddenly turned his head. After which, he saw a human and a demonic beast walking over here. This person had a bronze mask obscuring his features, but the eyes which were revealed to the outside were extremely cold.
"Sir, this has nothing to do with you. You best leave here with haste." Zi Yunwu flicked his sleeves as he spoke.
"Bzzz~" A diagram appeared above the mysterious masked young man, soaring up into the sky. After that, it transformed into a scroll so large that it blotted out the sun, wanting to seal this place away. Terrifying black-colored runic light flowed around the scroll, causing both Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu to frown. Dongsheng Ting's spinning wheel shimmered with silver light and grew larger as the terrifying absorption energy flew towards the scroll in the air, wanting to envelop and devour it completely.
However, the absorption silver light was blocked by a mysterious force. The black runes flowing on the scroll sealed the absorption energy away completely. The spinning wheel had no way to accomplish its objective.
"Hand over all your immortal treasures to me." That masked young man spoke. The countenance of Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu grew heavy while a cold smile appeared on their faces. What a joke, handing all their treasures to him? How can this be possible.
"Sir, you best not seek your doom." Dongsheng Ting stared at the young man clad in the bronze mask as he threatened.
"How about we join hands?" The masked expert spoke to Qin Wentian.
"Sounds good to me." Qin Wentian nodded.
"You must be courting death." Dongsheng Ting's expression turned ashen. He stared at Zi Yunwu, "Brother Zi, kill him first, I will ensure Qin Wentian doesn't join the battle."
"Mhm." Zi Yunwu nodded. His immortal might gushed forth frenziedly as a terrifying violet-colored giant appeared behind him. His entire body was shimmering in violet light, containing a supreme power within.
"BOOM!" Stepping out, Zi Yunwu stepped towards the masked expert. Lifting his hand, he blasted out an indomitable purple palm imprint that crushed everything in its way.
Yet another diagram manifested before the young man with the bronze mask. It spiralled about in a frenzied motion, one Yin, and the other Yang, converging together to form the universal Eight Trigrams. An almighty sealing attribute energy gushed forth from it. The diagram seemed to transform into real living creatures in the form of a Yin-Yang Fish, flopping about in the diagram as though desiring to swim out of it. When that tyrannical purple palm imprint came smashing down, the entire power behind that palm imprint was sealed away in an instant as the palm imprint shattered into nothingness.
"Seals?" Zi Yunwu's eyes flickered. He saw the diagram growing bigger and bigger, hanging suspended high up in the air. The Yin-Yang Fish in the diagram represented the center of Taichi, numerous fish then manifested, swimming all around before they erupted forth with overwhelming speed. When the Yin-Yang fish came into contact with his body, Zi Yunwu only felt his immortal foundation shaking as a formless energy was attempting to seal his entire immortal foundation away.
"BREAK!" Zi Yunwu roared. Stomping out, a violet spear appeared in his hand. With a thunderous boom, it shot through the air, expanding continuously to a size of over ten meters, wanting to pierce through the throat of the masked young man.
"BOOM!" The palm of the masked young man blasted out, manifesting yet another fearsome sealing diagram. The violet spear directly stabbed into it but the force of the spear was stopped by the diagram. A moment later, a deafening blast rang out as both the diagram and spear shattered. At this moment, the black hound beside the masked young man lunged over with thunderous growls. Its body grew larger and larger as it swiped down with its sharp claws. Strangely enough, atop his claws, a sealing diagram appeared as well. This caused the expression on Zi Yunwu's face to turn incomparably ugly. Sealing-attribute energy techniques were extremely troublesome to deal with.
Dongsheng Ting stared at their battle as he begin to frown. However right now he heard Qin Wentian speaking, "Are you counting on Zi Yunwu? Things don't seem to look good."
Dongsheng Ting's gaze landed on Qin Wentian. His entire being was radiating killing intent as he coldly spoke, "Even if I'm alone, do you really believe that I can't kill you?"
"Are you really so confident? Seeing you decked in immortal-ranked defensive armor and wielding immortal weapons, it's only natural you would be so gutsy. However, your true self is naught but a coward. That hasn't changed at all." Qin Wentian's expression was cold. Dongsheng Ting was clad in armor and had the all-absorption spinning wheel in his hand. His palms were also equipped immortal-ranked gloves, and he was fully armed to the teeth.
"BOOM!" Immortal might from Dongsheng Ting gushed forth, as he silently cursed the mysterious masked young man in his heart. Initially it was a piece of cake for him and Zi Yunwu to kill Qin Wentian but when that troublesome fellow appeared, he changed the battle situation. But even so, he would still make sure that Qin Wentian dies here today. The ending wouldn't change!
At this moment, the scroll enveloping this space started to radiate runic energy in its surroundings. That terrifying sealing-attribute energy wanted to completely seal off this entire space!
