Ancient Godly Monarch
chapter-897

Qin Wentian surveyed the five people before them. The young man with the crown on his head had a cultivation base at the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, and three out of the other four were at the seventh-level and the last was at the sixth-level.

All five of them exuded an extraordinary aura. Also, this place was the location of their sect and if they clashed here, there was a high possibility that they might suffer a disadvantage.

"You guys act like this just because we refuse to join your sect?" Qin Wentian asked.

"Since we cannot be friends, we are strangers. You guys are new arrivals and you might not understand the rules in the City of Ancient Emperors. In here, conflicts happen every day. If not, how could there be improvements? Today, my God Extermination Palace might as well teach the three of you the first lesson." A smile appeared on the face of the young man as his expression turned solemn.

Robbing people of their interspatial rings was something that occurred frequently in the City of Ancient Emperors. Those who could come here would surely have many treasures in their interspatial rings. Naturally, there were very few cases of people killing each other here because of the extraordinary backgrounds everyone had. Most of the time, the robbers would still have a bottom line and no great hatred or grudge would be formed. In addition, many experts left their immortal sense on the bodies of their descendants and disciples, the moment anyone came into mortal danger, the immortal sense would immediately activate.

As for fights in here, they can be considered a form of tempering. Those major characters could be at ease and send their junior generations into this place because it was a good idea for them to endure some suffering.

"Go." Qin Wentian spoke as the three of them prepared to leave.

"Go? Where do you think you are going?" That young man with the crown laughed. After which, their group of people stepped out as their auras erupted forth. The crowned young man exuded a dazzling white light as a constellation appeared above him. This constellation seemed to be a combination-type constellation. A terrifying giant wielding a golden spear stood in the air, it was shimmering with a dazzling light and stood atop a giant spinning golden-colored wheel, emanating boundless strength.

"Stay behind." That crowned young man pointed the golden spear ahead as a dazzling golden light burst forth, transforming into golden chakrams, lacerating everything akin to golden bolts of lightning, causing the space here to break apart.

The other four experts also released their auras and constellations. There was one among them who had a control-type constellation in the form of an ancient tree. The tree branches extended outwards, wanting to seal of this area.

Qin Wentian and his fellow sect members also released their tyrannical auras and their constellations. Terrifying rumbling sounds echoed as Qin Wentian’s body grew to over ten meters tall. His entire body was shimmering with a dazzling light which formed into a fiendgod armor that enveloped him protectively. Behind him, a pair of golden roc wings took form and a resplendent spear also materialized in his hands. His suppressive annihilation constellation appeared as a towering oppressive suppression force emanated from it.

Golden figures of suppressions manifested and gushed forth, breaking apart the golden chakrams created by his opponent’s spear.

Qin Wentian’s body arced through the air as a sky roc shadow flashed through the skies. It was incomparably beautiful.

"How swift." The crowned young man froze for a moment when he saw the shadow of the sky roc. Qin Wentian had already vanished from his senses. When he next appeared, the long spear in Qin Wentian’s hand already penetrated through the void, aiming for the head of the seventh-level ascendant with the control-type constellation.

This attack was simply too fast. Qin Wentian was like a real sky roc, his immense body and that gigantic spear he wielded exploded forth with a force and momentum that no one could match.

However, this place was a place filled with peak-level geniuses. That expert instantly reacted by summoning countless tree vines to rush over in a hurried defense.

But how terrifying was Qin Wentian’s spear strike? He used the principle of the Heavenly Fiendgod Suppression Art with his spear strike and exploded forth with annihilative might, containing all of his insights. Runic light flashed as a trace of law energy thrummed. The tree vines were all shattered apart as the spear pushed forward with indomitable force, breaking a hole through his opponent’s defenses.

"Bzz!" The long spear grinded to a halt, an inch away from piercing into his opponent’s chest. That crowned young man in the air stiffened, as his countenance grew incredibly unsightly when he witnessed this scene.

"Senior brother Qin is so awesome. The people of the God Extermination Palace are only so-so after all." Jun Mengchen taunted in cold arrogance. Geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors were all extremely proud, it was the same for the three of them.

Just a single strike, Qin Wentian completely suppressed an ascendant proficient in control on the same level as him. That expert was filled with reluctance to accept this. Qin Wentian’s earlier spear was too fast and too explosive, using absolute strength to break everything. He didn’t have time to unleash more of his innate techniques and was already completely suppressed.

"In the City of Ancient Emperors, there are many conflicts. Robbery and plundering are commonplace but there are almost no deaths here. Although you are new arrivals, I’m sure you should understand this point." That crowned young man then continued, "Being able to suppress someone of my God Extermination Palace in a single strike, you can be considered very powerful. The three of you can leave."

"What you said is right, robbery and plundering are extremely commonplace." Qin Wentian smiled. "Didn’t all of you want to seize our interspatial rings earlier? Now that I suppressed one of you, you actually said we can leave just like that?"

"What do you want then?" That crowned young man coldly laughed.

"Take out all your interspatial rings and hand them over!" Jun Mengchen roared.

"What a joke. The people here in the City of Ancient Emperors don’t take well to threats. Just suppressing one of our members and you want all of our interspatial rings? Impossible. If you guys are bent on doing this, just handle him in any way you like." That crowned young man spoke with cold arrogance.

"Take out your interspatial rings as the price. As for the three of you, scram the fuck away immediately." Qin Wentian unhurriedly declared, his words causing the other experts to turn ashen.

"Friend, you just arrived here. It’s already very good for you to retreat with no losses, don’t go too far. You best be careful that your hands might be burnt from taking the interspatial rings of the God Extermination Palace’s members." The crowned young man threatened.

"Don’t force me." Qin Wentian’s spear shimmered with terrifying runic light, his actions causing the expressions on the faces of the God Extermination Palace’s experts to turn heavy. That crowned young man sneered, "Very well, you better remember this."

After speaking, he waved his hands and the four of them left the area. The seventh-level ascendant then obediently handed over his interspatial ring to Qin Wentian.

"Let’s leave!" Qin Wentian took the ring as the three of them flickered, departing this area with lightning speed.

Sometime after they left, a group of people from the God Extermination Palace rushed over, staring at their silhouettes that were flying into the horizon with great speed. Their eyes couldn’t help but to flicker with coldness as they carved what just happened into their memories.

...

Qin Wentian and his companions continued flying through the crowded city.

"We need a map." Zi Qingxuan spoke. After all, the three of them would have to stay in this city for a long time.

"Mhm," Qin Wentian nodded, he also realized this. The three of them slowed their steps and went up to someone passing by and asked, "Sir, do you know where can we purchase a map of the City of Ancient Emperors?"

"Head over to the Ancient Emperor Tower, it’s the largest transaction grounds in this city. That tallest building is the place you want to go to, you can find anything you want there." That passerby laughed. Qin Wentian thanked him as the three of them glanced at the tallest building in the city as they sped over there.

There were many people inside the Ancient Emperor Tower. But the instant Qin Wentian and his companions entered, a beautiful lady walked up to welcome them. "Dear sirs and lady, what might you desire?"

"We need a complete map of the City of Ancient Emperors." Qin Wentian spoke.

That beautiful lady smiled, and took out three jade slips and passed it over to them. "The map of the city is inside the jade slips, there’s no need for you all to pay anything. I’m sure you three just newly arrived here, and in the future, if you need any cultivation arts or innate techniques, or have any treasures to transact, you all can come to this place again."

"Is this Ancient Emperor Tower created by the geniuses who came here to cultivate?" Jun Mengchen asked curiously.

That lady smiled and didn’t reply. A look of contemplation appeared on Qin Wentian’s face, the experts in this City of Ancient Emperors are all people at the peak. Naturally, the cultivation arts and innate techniques they cultivated are all at the supreme level. The treasures they used are extremely valuable as well. If they came to trade away their stuff in this Ancient Emperor Tower, there’s no doubt that the tower’s collection would be exceptionally terrifying. It’s possible that this Ancient Emperor Tower might be created by a supreme power in the immortal realms.

"What tier of power does the God Extermination Palace belong to?" Qin Wentian asked.

"The God Extermination Palace was established by a genius in the City of Ancient Emperors. The sect master is a descendant of an immortal emperor, a genius that’s ranked on the Immortal Ascension Rankings. However, he is ranked toward the bottom of the list, and hence, the God Extermination Palace can be considered one of the weakest sects here." That lady smiled as she explained, not showing any signs of impatience at all.

"Immortal Ascension Rankings?" Jun Mengchen’s expression froze. "What is that?"

"The vast majority of people who come to this place are naturally here to train themselves. In this place where geniuses gather, one of the reasons why immortal kings and emperors sent all of them here was because for them to become a ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings. This was also the reason why so many geniuses chose to stay here for such long periods. The Immortal Ascension Rankings is a ranking of the strength of geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors. There are a total of 360 spots and the sect leader of the God Extermination Palace is precisely a ranker of this prestigious ranking." That lady explained.

After that she took out another three jade slips and passed it to the three of them. "These are the current rankers of the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Similarly, this info is free of charge."

"Ranked #5 of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, Qing`er. She's the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Her cultivation base is at the ninth-level of Celestial Phenomenon and she has an innate immortal king physique."

There was a simple introduction about Qing`er in the jade slip. She was ranked #5 in the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

"Qing`er…"

Qin Wentian mumbled. The lady smiled, "Sir, you've heard of Princess Qing`er before? Are you from the Evergreen Immortal Empire?"

"I'm from the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures." Qin Wentian replied, "I've only heard of Princess Qing`er before, I’m not from the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Is she very famous in the City of Ancient Emperors?"

"Those in the City of Ancient Emperors are all absolute geniuses. For those who can rank within the top 100 of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, their strength is considered right at the very peak among all Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants in the immortal realms. One can clearly imagine how heavy the weightage is of the top five ranks. Naturally, the rankings are not fixed and would change often. The rankings you see are only temporarily but no matter what, as long as you can rank within the top 100, you have already proven yourselves. Princess Qing`er has been here for seven years and her ranking has always been improving, never falling behind at all. There are also many cases of her outstanding potential and strength. Many people believed that Princess Qing`er even has a chance to become one of the top three!"

The lady laughed as a pensive expression appeared on Qin Wentian’s countenance. He was deep in his own thoughts!
