Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

An incomparably resplendent sword beam suddenly erupted at the instant Huang Jiutian retracted his aura, impossibly quick. A roc shadow flashed amidst the light, brimming with the power of a supreme holy will.

Huang Jiutian was shocked awake. His eyes narrowed, staring with shock at the scene before him. How can this be? He was a peak-stage immortal king, a person that stands at the very peak. Hasn’t he already killed Qin Wentian with his earlier attack? Shattering his body so badly that his bones crumbled into dust, disintegrating in thin air. But now, what was going on?

“Illusion? But given his cultivation base, how can it be possible for him to bewilder me?” Huang Jiatian silently mused as his aura flared up once more, instantly understanding what just happened. Although he was still unclear how it happened, this wasn’t the time to seek out answers. The sword strike was already slashing towards him, wanting to take his life.

His law energy flowed wildly as his defense was maximized to its limits. Huang Jiutian gave a thunderous roar, he was like a supreme ancient emperor and his body abruptly expanded in size. Huang Jiutian knew that this sword strike by his opponent was too quick, there was simply no way for him to evade, he could only forcefully defend head-on against it. Naturally while defending, he didn’t forget to launch his own attack to weaken the power of the Saber-Sword Immortal King’s sword attack.

However, Huang Jiutian just relaxed and released control over all his energy earlier while Qin Wentian had been preparing for an ultimate killing strike. How could the power of both be compared?

The great roc shone dazzlingly, its wings even sharper than sharp swords. The sword attack manifested a roc and the holy will from Eastern Tomb infused it, granting it indomitable might. A deafening sound rang out, Huang Jiutian howled in pain as a huge bloody wound opened up in his chest.

Borrowing the impact, he retreated with explosive speed, reaching a location far away.

Lowering his head, glancing at the wound on his chest, the golden blood of kings could be seen flowing out of his wound. Despite so, his wound was gradually recovering. He lifted his head and stared at Qin Wentian, “How did you do this?”

“Illusion arts. Don’t you know what happened?” Qin Wentian stared at his opponent as he replied.

“Impossible, your cultivation base is only at the mid-stage. How can ordinary illusion art confuse me?” Huang Jiutian didn’t believe it.

“Frog in a well. You always think of yourself as high up in the air, how could someone like you understand the abilities of this seat?” Qin Wentian tyrannically replied.

“Royal brother be careful, you are still in the illusion!” Huang Shatian shouted, reminding Huang Jiutian. Huang Jiutian stared in front of him only to see that Qin Wentian vanished again before reappearing at the side. Huang Jiutian earlier seemed to be talking to thin air.

“Chi…” Another bright beam of light flashed by. Huang Jiutian gave a loud roar. In fact, he even closed his eyes and attempted to use his immortal sense to lock onto Qin Wentian’s position. When he saw Qin Wentian’s sword strike arriving, he manifested an ancient emperor with no hesitation, using it for defense. But when this sword strike landed, a bloody wound appeared on his arm as the terrifying sword intent gushed into his body, intent on ravaging his inner organs.

How can this be? He actually fell into the illusion continuously? Everything was just like reality, including the reactions of the crowd. There were no flaws at all.

“What’s going on?” The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire stood together as their auras gushed forth, prepared to act at any moment. How could the illusion arts of this Saber-Sword Immortal King be so powerful? Before this, they only heard that his attacks, defense and law domains were tyrannically strong, but they had never heard that this person was proficient in illusionary arts as well.

In addition, this wasn’t some ordinary illusion technique, the Saber-Sword Immortal King caused Huang Jiutian to sink into a completely different space where he had no inkling that he was in an illusion at all. If not, he wouldn’t have spoken out loud to himself, convinced in his victory.

“His eyes seem a little demonic. Royal brother, but I don’t know if things would be effective if you close your eyes.” Huang Shatian observed the battle carefully. Huang Jiutian was a peak-stage immortal king with unparalleled combat prowess yet he actually met with such a terrifying opponent. This Saber-Sword Immortal King was someone with only a mid-stage cultivation. Huang Jiutian surpassed his opponent by a full level but couldn’t do anything to him?

Given how vast the immortal realms were, there are truly outstanding talents all around. Just speaking of the City of Ancient Emperors, there were quite a few people standing at the peak who were already more outstanding than Huang Jiutian.

This involuntarily caused Huang Shatian to recall a person. That incomparably magnificent figure that shattered his confidence and caused his personality to change – Qin Wentian.

“If royal brother encounters danger, we have to act.” A person transmitted his voice to the others. Although they might lose face, it was impossible for them to watch on passively if Huang Jiutian was going to be slain by the Saber-Sword Immortal King.

“Mhm.” The other experts agreed as they continued to observe the battle. They discovered that other than the Saber-Sword Immortal King using illusionary techniques, he even erupted forth with the power of his bloodline, causing his attacks to grow more violent, brimming with boundless might. Given the momentum now, the situation was very disadvantageous towards Huang Jiutian.

At this moment, everyone saw Qin Wentian suddenly seem to just give up on the combat after slashing out another strike. His body then floated to the side but Huang Jiutian was exuding overwhelming might, frenziedly attacking empty space as he shouted, “Accept your death!”

“Royal brother!” Huang Shatian roared again. At this moment, an old peak-stage immortal king from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire stepped out, moving towards the battlefield as he slashed out a sword beam aiming for Qin Wentian.

Huang Jiutian also finally woke up from his daze. But when he came to his senses, he only saw another sword attack blasting into him. If it wasn’t for his defense being strong enough, in addition to the augmentation provided by the manifestation of the ancient emperor, he would already have died.

When Qin Wentian wanted to follow up, that sword attack by the old immortal king had already reached him. He could only give up on his notion of continuing to attack Huang Jiutian.

“Royal brother, are you okay?” Huang Shatian asked.

Huang Jiutian took out a medical pill and consumed it, as the blood in his body was stimulated. His pale face regained color as his wounds gradually closed up. However, his body was still trembling, this was not only because of the injuries but also because of the shame of being defeated. He didn’t reply to Huang Shatian and was coldly staring at Qin Wentian as he asked, “How the hell did you manage to do it? Why is it useless even when I closed my eyes to avoid using my vision?”

Qin Wentian naturally didn’t use an ordinary illusionary technique. Back then when he was roaming the wilderness, he met an ancient character that was being suppressed. Qin Wentian managed to gain some insights there and improved his own techniques. Although his level wasn’t as high as that man, he was still able to easily confuse Huang Jiutian.

Naturally, if his opponent was someone whose cultivation was far beneath him, the dream he created would be the same as reality to that opponent, causing them to unable to break out of it.

For this fight, Huang Jiutian’s cultivation base was higher than him and Huang Jiutian also possessed a powerful will. It was extremely difficult to confuse him but Qin Wentian still managed to do so. He used the soul energy aspect from the Undying Scripture and fused it together with his dream law energy and manage to succeed.

Although Huang Jiutian managed to ultimately break free from it, but it was already sufficient to trap him in an illusion for a few seconds in a fight of this level. If it wasn’t for that old man from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire interfering, he would have already killed Huang Jiutian.

But how would Qin Wentian tell Huang Jiutian so much?

“The Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. Is this man the strongest expert from your side?” Qin Wentian mockingly asked. “Wanting to kill me? If it wasn’t for others interfering, this crown prince would have already died by this seat’s sword.”

“Do you dare to fight me fairly without using illusionary techniques?” Huang Jiutian was angered from embarrassment as he roared.

“Illusionary techniques aren’t considered a part of this seat’s strength? Fighting fairly? If we did so, you would already be a corpse. As a crown prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, can you be any more shameless?” Qin Wentian spoke with cold disdain. The surrounding experts were all speechless, they didn’t expect Huang Jiutian to actually be defeated. Who else would still be able to suppress this Saber-Sword Immortal King?

“HAHAHA!” A arrogant laughter rang out. Qin Wentian and the others raised their heads, staring at the Yama King who was sitting in the chariot pulled by hydras. The Yama King laughed, “Saber-Sword, I will take back what I said. Your strength is extraordinary and is bound to accomplish great things in the future. Your accomplishments might even equal mine. Right now, I am willing to give you a chance. As long as you kneel and apologize, and become my follower, I will not make things difficult for you.”

“This Yama King actually wants to recruit him now? He must have been shocked after witnessing the battle between Huang Jiutian and the Saber-Sword Immortal King and knew how powerful the Saber-Sword Immortal King is. In the future, this man will definitely become one of those strongest few in the City of Ancient Emperors and hence, the Yama King wanted to recruit him as a subordinate.” Everyone silently mused. From this, one could see how extraordinary the Saber-Sword Immortal King is, even causing Yan Luowang to take back the words he said.

It was just that given how outstanding the Saber-Sword Immortal King is, would he really be willing to submit? Now, it was only because his cultivation base was slightly weaker. If he was at the peak-phase of the peak-stage, wouldn’t he be a character equal to the Yama King? Is it really possible for him to kneel down and apologize? This was undoubtedly a great humiliation if he did so.

Qin Wentian inclined his head. His eyes gleamed with sharpness as he replied, “If you kneel and apologize to me, I can forget about everything that happened today. I won’t find trouble for you in the future.”

“Interesting.” Yama King laughed. “I know a character on our levels is bound to have some arrogance. However, don’t forget that although you might be able to stand equally with me in the future, you might die here today. It isn’t easy for you to reach your current level, if you die here, all your dreams would turn into froth and shadows, what a waste of your life.”

“Also, don’t assume my combat prowess is the same level as Huang Jiutian. This crown prince is completely different from him. Have you thought things through clearly?” The arrogance in the Yama King’s voice towered up into the sky, he simply didn’t have Huang Jiutian in his eyes at all. For a character like him who was widely proclaimed as the tyrannical and supreme crown prince by the public, his arrogance would naturally exceed ordinary people. Such a character would surely have boundless arrogance and a wildly ambitious heart.

Qin Wentian glanced at the emperor’s fate behind the Yama King. It was resplendent to the extreme and from the looks of the emperor’s fate, Qin Wentian also understood that Huang Jiutian and this Yama King were truly on completely different levels.

But even so, was it possible that he would kneel here and apologize?

“Today, this seat, at the mid-stage of the immortal king realm, shall test the strength of characters who are at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm of the City of Ancient Emperors. I really want to see what capabilities do you have, daring to want me as a follower.” Qin Wentian’s aura surged forth as his battle intent soared up into the sky!
