Chapter 1469: Fighting Zi Daolong

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“How crazy.” The spectators in the surroundings all felt their hearts trembling. Five powerful immortal kings from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, including a peak-stage one, all died.

A late-phase mid-stage immortal king killed five powerful experts in quick succession, and it seemed that he did so easily. There was simply no one on the same level that could contend against him.

“Where did this Saber-Sword Immortal King come from? How is he so powerful? Is he planning to contend against those peak figures in the City of Ancient Emperors, plundering emperor’s fate and become an unparalleled character?” Someone mused.

“However, given how brazen he is, killing five powerful immortal kings of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire like this, would the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire spare him? Don’t forget that there’s still a demon-level genius within the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. That man is extremely terrifying and if he learns of this, he would definitely come over to kill this Saber-Sword Immortal King.

“Too ruthless, I’m afraid he won’t be able to live for too long, offending the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire like this. In addition, there’s still Zi Daolong and the Skymist Immortal Empire. By having too many grudges and given the level of his cultivation base, it’s impossible for him to live too long.” Another person stated. They didn’t doubt Qin Wentian’s talent. It’s just that the City of Ancient Emperors now was simply too dangerous.

“This is the reason why you guys are fated never to become those dazzling existences.” A calm voice rang out. An immortal king among the crowd stood with his hands behind his back, his emperor’s fate shining brilliantly. He slowly continued, “From the past till now, which supreme characters haven’t gone through the exact same path he is treading now? Warring against the world, defeating all the geniuses under the heavens? For those ancient emperors, which among them didn’t rise to the top on a pile of bones of their enemies? If you don’t dare to take revenge when others already made it so clear that they want to kill you, what qualifications would you have to rise to the peak in this new era?

“Maybe…for such characters, we would have no way to understand their spirits. Even immortal emperors are far from sufficient. The ancient emperors…”

“I don’t really agree with your words. Even for supreme characters, they still have to learn how to lie low at certain times. If his enemies are all the peak powers who wanted to kill him and he has not matured enough to a certain strength level, he should lay low instead of being so high-handed now. Just as the saying goes, revenge is never too late. He should come out only after his cultivation base reached the emperor level. If he directly acted based on his emotions, even if he has the talent to become an ancient emperor, he might not have the time needed to grow and might fall on the path to there.” Another person spoke.

“Hahaha, how many geniuses have there been since ancient times till now and how many among the geniuses can really rise up and become ancient emperors? And how many geniuses have fallen on the path to becoming the strong? According to what you say, wouldn’t the immortal realms be filled with cowards? Cowering behind safety until they grow ‘stronger,’ if they can really grow stronger by hiding.” That person who spoke earlier laughed condescendingly. “How many have fallen simply because they took one step forward to push themselves through adversity? At the very least, these people dared to fight for their conviction. In any case, conversing with you is truly a humiliation. How sorrowful.”

“You…” That person’s expression turned cold as he radiated a coldness. However, when he saw how the other party continued standing arrogantly there looking at him, he actually didn’t even dare to comment any more.

The others at the side all understood that it was because of the innate nature of these two individuals. That person who advocated safety, was indeed true to his nature, deciding to bide his time and endure, not erupting in anger.

After Qin Wentian killed the five immortal kings, the emperor’s fate behind him grew more and more terrifying, almost solidifying. He returned once more to the chaotic battlefield and with a flash of his silhouette, he sped towards Bai Qing’s direction.

The attacks of immortal kings were too ferocious. Even for group battles, the distance between each person was extremely vast. Even for distances up to over ten thousand miles, immortal kings might be able to breach them with a single step. Right now, Qin Wentian’s gaze was fixed on an enemy immortal king as his eyes gleamed with coldness.

His movements were incredibly fast, akin to a great roc. That immortal king he targeted was now fighting against a devil cultivator. He suddenly sensed an intense feeling of crisis approaching him from the back. He immediately turned about and slammed out with a palm strike, causing a beam of light to shot forth like a shooting star, blasting towards Qin Wentian. If such an attack hit a mountain range, there was a possibility that the entire mountain range would be directly destroyed.

Qin Wentian directly cleaved out with his saber, slashing apart the beam of light. His movements didn’t slow and instantly neared his opponent. After that, he slashed out with his sword, manifesting a vermillion bird that arced through the skies. When his target saw the sword strike, his palms blasted out in defense, materializing shooting stars that blazed brilliantly as he sought to block that strike. However, that sword strike of Qin Wentian was powered by the holy will, it was able to tear through everything, easily shattering the shooting stars before slicing into his target’s body, destroying his target.

“There’s basically no one at the mid-stage immortal king realm able to be his opponent. They can’t even endure a single one of his sword attacks.”

Before this, Qin Wentian used a single saber to destroy four powerful immortal kings. Everyone already understood that unless his opponent was an individual who stands at the peak, like the Saber-Sword Immortal King himself, there would be no one else who can stand equally against him. Against all others, the Saber-Sword Immortal King can effortlessly kill them, completely a case of the strong abusing the weak.

After killing his target, Qin Wentian continued soaring through the air and arrived before another mid-stage immortal king, slashing him apart.

“If we allow him to continue, these people will all be killed by him. Earlier, when Zi Daolong asked for the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire’s help to kill him, there was no way that he expected this Saber-Sword Immortal King to actually be so powerful.”

The hearts of everyone trembled. Although in this battlefield, there are still some experts more terrifying than Qin Wentian, e.g. Tuoba Saintsky who could fuse all law energy as one, there was no one else who could give the spectators as much shock as he could. The Saber-Sword Immortal King instantly became the focal point of everyone, attracting their attention.

There were some whose light would always shine brilliantly when they are on a battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Wentian killed another immortal king. The number of immortal kings dying to him continued increasing and they were all people from Zi Daolong’s side. To the Violet Sect, this was nothing but a nightmare. After all, the number of immortal kings under the Violet Emperor was originally already much fewer compared to those major powers that governed an empire.

However, there was no way that Qin Wentian would be merciful. Just like what Bujie and Jun Mengchen have said, the Violet Emperor could even disregard his status. Despite being a peak-stage immortal emperor, he actually conspired with Eastern Sage to kill him. Regardless of Eastern Sage or the Violet Emperor, Qin Wentian wouldn’t rest until either he or the two of them are dead. They are already in a situation where one side was water and the other was fire. Why would Qin Wentian still show any mercy to Violet Emperor’s subordinates?

“You guys hold the battlefield, I’ll personally move to kill him.” Zi Daolong spoke, his voice cold to the extreme. With a flash of his silhouette, he gave up on his current opponent and sped towards Qin Wentian’s direction. Today, he initially planned to kill the devil priestess and originally felt that it would be a relaxed and effortless battle. However, he didn’t expect the situation to escalate out of control and there were already so many immortal kings of their side that died.

This caused his gaze to turn extremely terrifying. His killing intent surged as he stared at Qin Wentian.

“BOOM!” A thunderous explosion rang out. Zi Daolong was like a dragon, letting out roars of anger. Violet light flooded the area around him, materializing into a giant purple dragon that stared coldly at Qin Wentian.

As a son of the Violet Emperor, Zi Daolong would naturally receive guidance and inheritances from the Violet Emperor. How would he be ordinary? His cultivation base was at the initial-phase of the peak-stage but his aura was extremely overwhelming. Ordinary late-phase peak-stage immortal kings wouldn’t be able to do anything to him. He was confident and arrogant, but he did have the strength to back him up.

“BOOM!” Zi Daolong blasted out a dragon imprint to Qin Wentian, exuding boundless might. The streams of violet qi rose from the east, incomparably ferocious with enough power to crush everything.

Qin Wentian was still far away but he could already sense the power of this attack. When the dragon imprint blasted over, violet light engulfed everything. The imprint manifested numerous dragons baring their fangs and claws as they lunged towards Qin Wentian, wanting to tear him apart.

Qin Wentian’s expression didn’t change. His eyes flashed with coldness as he slashed out with his sword. In the sword beam that shot out, numerous tiny swords could be seen swimming in it, radiating holy will, giving birth to a titanic sword might that shattered the dragons.

“Since you want to die so badly, I will grant it to you.” Zi Daolong moved closer, as violet light gleamed in his eyes.

Qin Wentian stared at him coldly, but his expression turned slightly heavy. The aura radiating from Zi Daolong actually made him feel a hint of pressure. In addition, he had no way to know how powerful Zi Daolong’s absolute strength level is. But, as a son of the Violet Emperor, he should have many trump cards for sure. Undoubtedly, Zi Daolong is going to become one of the strongest opponents he ever faced to date.

Thinking back to the past, the location was also in the City of Ancient Emperors. Back then, he was contending against Zi Daoyang, fighting for the position of the number one ranking on the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

Time flowed by and now, the one he was facing was none other than the elder brother of Zi Daoyang. Zi Daolong’s strength was undoubtedly countless times greater in comparison to Zi Daoyang.

Right now, Qin Wentian only felt that Zi Daolong’s eyes contained a terrifying violet vortex. This caused Qin Wentian to be somewhat taken aback. Zi Daolong was also actually skilled in eye-techniques.

“BOOM!” Suddenly, Qin Wentian felt his mind shaking. The violet vortex drew him into a violet world where numerous terrifying violet dragons surrounded him, brimming with absolute power.

“Illusion attack.” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with buddhic light from the art of truth, seeing through all things illusory as he struggled to exit the violet world. But even so, the attacks from the violet dragons didn’t cease.

This was indeed an eye technique but there were illusory components mixed within the truth. It was extremely fearsome to face against. Such a mixture of truth and lies made this technique extremely tough to deal with.

However, Qin Wentian who cultivated the art of truth, wasn’t really afraid of illusionary-based techniques.

“Slay!” Qin Wentian’s sword exuded a majestic might, slashing everything apart. After all, the main component of eye-techniques was based in illusions and the amount of effect they had on him was minimal.

Zi Daolong had a shocked look on his face, “No wonder you are able to kill so many immortal kings, you do have some capabilities. If it wasn’t for you killing so many immortal kings from my side, I might have been able to spare you from death and recruit you as a subordinate.”

“How arrogant.” The spectators mused silently when they heard this.

Qin Wentian laughed coldly as he replied, “Zi Daolong, you are really good at bragging. It is still a question whether or not you would be able to live on after this.”
