Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 938: Slaughter Out a Path of Blood

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Eight immortal emperors rose up from the coffins. The hearts of everyone were filled with shock, but were also intensely hopeful. This meant it was highly possible that the Brahma Heavenly Emperor left behind his inheritance in this place. If not, how could those eight immortal emperors, whom he defeated back in the past, be here?

—bzz!— A silhouette flashed by. The mysterious old man in gray now stood directly atop one of the coffins. His eyes gazed sternly on the eight immortal emperors as he coldly commanded, ”Don’t break the rules.”

As the sound of his voice faded, the eight immortal emperors retracted their auras, leaving behind only the might at the ninth-level of Celestial Phenomenon. However, these were still immortal emperor characters. The imperious attitude carved into their bones was enough to cause others to view them with fear. They were extremely powerful.

”Who exactly is this mysterious old man?” The hearts of the geniuses were filled with shock. This old man kept talking about rules. Could they be the rules set by the Brahma Heavenly Emperor?

Were these eight immortal emperors the ‘test’ they had to overcome to obtain the inheritance?

Qin Wentian stared at the mysterious gray-robed old man. Why would someone like him who lost his memories keep insisting that they not break the supposed rules? Could it be that the reason for his existence was to guard this place?

Did this old man have a connection to the Brahma Heavenly Emperor?

The feet of the mysterious old man moved, the geniuses only saw a gray-colored silhouette flickering, and then the old man vanished from sight. He came and went without a trace.

After the old man left, everyone looked back towards the eight immortal emperors. All of them unleashed their auras, and several constellations appeared within the cavern.

Qin Wentian’s palms shimmered with terrifying runic light. It was naturally none other than the God’s Hand.

Around Qing`er, intense spatial fluctuations could be felt. The glow from her spatial energy enveloped Qin Wentian and herself.

”Let’s go,” said Qing`er in a low voice. After which, the spatial glow brightened as she and Qin Wentian immediately vanished from that location, directly teleporting far ahead to a passageway that led towards the inner depths of the cavern.

All of a sudden, a fearsomely gigantic golden palm appeared before their eyes, forcing them out from the teleportation space.

Qing`er and Qin Wentian both simultaneously defended themselves—the void fist capable of lacerating everything, as well as the attacks powered by the God’s Hand were both extremely terrifying. However, their powers were forcibly neutralized upon impact after slamming into the golden palm. That palm imprint seemed indestructible, and were endlessly stacked. Thunderous booming sounds rang out as Qin Wentian and Qing`er were both blasted backwards. When they recovered, they saw an immortal emperor that glowed with a golden light, blocking the passageway with his body, obstructing all those who wished to pass through.

”Careful!” In that moment, Qin Wentian discovered the other immortal emperors had all turned their attention over to them. An instant later, the ancestor of the Bone Race stretched his arms out, intending to restrict them, his attack containing a boundless might.

Qin Wentian activated his immortal battle art and blasted out a terrifying blood-colored palm imprint.

However, he discovered that his opponent’s arms had become so soft and flexible, as though there were no bones in them. At the instant it collided with the God’s Hand, it was able to negate much of the power by squirming about, continuing on its path towards Qin Wentian. Its movements were incredibly unnerving.

Qin Wentian could only lift up his left palm and slam out another attack. An explosive boom sounded out and Qin Wentian was forced backwards, hurtling into Qing`er. Qing`er quickly unleashed her spatial energy and teleported them back to their original location.

”Even though these ancient emperors have had their power restricted to the peak of the ninth-level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, their combat prowess is simply too tyrannical. It’s almost impossible for us to stand against them one-on-one. We must all unite and face these eight emperors together if we want a chance at winning!” one of the geniuses called out. The geniuses saw the eight emperors walking towards them, and the group could feel the immense pressure they exuded. Despite their superiority in numbers, they still didn’t have absolute confidence that they would be able to pass this test.

The ancient emperors, with their hollowed eyes, walked towards the crowd. Among them, the ancient emperor who had risen first was turning his eyes onto Qin Wentian. It was as though he felt Qin Wentian and Qing`er were intentionally trying to undermine him by teleporting to that passageway inside cavern.

The terrifying eyes of the ancient emperor penetrated through Qin Wentian’s will. In that instant, Qin Wentian felt as though he had once again appeared in a world of blood. The emperor had a blood-red spear in his hands, and directly stabbed it towards him. It felt like the judgement of an apocalypse.

”Get lost!” Qin Wentian’s body ignited with fearsome flames as boundless runic light circulated around him. Rumbling sounds echoed out as his body expanded, seemingly containing boundless strength.

”Everyone, this time around our numbers far exceed those who came in previously. If we don’t grab this chance to defeat these eight puppets and rush to the depths of the cavern, we won’t get another chance like it in the future!” Qin Wentian shouted. He then stepped out as a pair of wings took form behind his back. Blasting out with his God’s Hand, a gigantic palm imprint blotted out the sky, capable of annihilating all before him.

The light in that ancient emperor’s eyes became even more terrifying, causing Qin Wentian to feel stabbing pains in his own eyes. The blood illusions took on corporeal forms, brandishing battle spears, and stabbing towards Qin Wentian’s gigantic palm. The ancient emperor himself transformed into a beam of red light that shot forth. His eyes were still fixed on Qin Wentian, as though he was determined to make Qin Wentian fall into the illusion-scape he’d created with his eye technique.

Terrifying blood whirlpools appeared, attempting to draw Qin Wentian into them. Qin Wentian’s countenance drastically changed. He discovered that this attack didn’t come from within the the illusion-scape, but in reality instead.

Swishing sounds rang out as blood chains shot towards Qin Wentian, intending to bind his movements and drag him into the whirlpool.

A long spear similarly materialized from his God’s Hand, and the power of both his bloodlines thrummed and infused into the spear. His movements were like a wind roc, as fast as lightning, directly stabbing towards the ancient emperor. However, he only saw more and more blood-battlespears appearing, all of them blocking his attack.

…chi… ! Qin Wentian’s spear techniques were simply too fast, and with a slight movement he stabbed into a blood clone formed from the illusionary bodies that manifested. That blood clone was ravaged by his terrifying bloodline power and its overwhelming might, before it then dissipated into nothingness.

Seeing Qin Wentian in complete concentration as he fought for his life against an ancient emperor, Qing`er’s countenance turned extremely cold. The spatial energy radiating from her transformed into countless weapons, dancing frenziedly in the air. A golden light enveloped her delicate frame as the entire space before her reverberated.

She blasted out with her palms, manifesting the Immortal Slaying Diagram in her attempt to aid Qin Wentian. However, another immortal emperor moved forward, launching an attack to intercept her.

”Qing`er, you stay back!” Another voice suddenly rang out. It was none other than Zi Daoyang. His constellation was unleashed, as a heavenly might descended. A dazzling divine glow transformed into the silhouette of a divinity. And when the palm attacks from that immortal emperor landed, Zi Daoyang’s energy seemed to devour that attack completely. After which, his constellation flashed as a thunderous rumbling sound rocked the entire area. When Zi Daoyang launched his own attack, the power of each blow seemed equal to that of the ancient emperor. It was simply too terrifying.

Zi Daoyang retreated with every step, forcing Qing`er to move back as well. However the next moment, he saw Qing`er directly stepping past him. She wanted to help Qin Wentian, yet this Zi Daoyang was telling her to stay back?

—bang!— A terrifying explosion occurred ahead. Qin Wentian appeared. However, his steps were unstable, and there were traces of blood leaking from the corner of his lips. The luster of the God’s Hand had also dimmed significantly.

Qing`er’s silhouette flashed, directly appearing beside Qin Wentian. Her clear eyes were filled with traces of worry. The other geniuses also began their battles against the ancient emperors. Bone Demon was facing off against his own ancestor. He had managed to train a copper body and bones with the characteristics of steel. He possessed boundless might as well as the ability to stretch out and retract his arms at will, able to attack at incomparably crafty angles.

Naturally, it was clear that Bone Demon lacked the strength to fight against an ancient emperor. His two other allies were fighting alongside him. Xu Ruxue had a terrifying whip constellation, and she was wielding a whip that glowed with terrifying runic light. Every flick of her wrist would generate a devastating destructive power from her whip. It was no wonder she was strong enough to be ranked within the top ten rankers on the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

Kun Nu was born with divine-tier strength; his golden palms could suppress the heavens and earth. These three rankers within the top ten were fighting together side-by-side, yet evidently, it entailed a strenuous amount of effort on their part to fight against an ancient immortal emperor.

”Zhan Peng, hurry up and come help!” Xu Ruxue shouted to the #7-ranker, Zhan Peng. Zhan Peng’s eyes flickered, dashing forth like a bolt of lightning, joining the fray.

If this continued, despite their superiority in numbers, they would still be suppressed one-by-one.

—bzz!— It was unknown who it was, but somebody had taken out an immortal weapon. The moment the immortal might emanated out, all eight of the immortal emperors started to glow with a dazzling light. One of them stabbed their finger in the direction of the immortal might, as piercing sounds rang out continuously. A total of three geniuses were dead from being pierced through the center of their brows, directly slamming to the ground. The person who took out the immortal weapon was among them as well.

”Bastard!” Zi Daoyang retreated with explosive speed, there was an extremely ugly expression on his face. Was that dead genius trying to kill them all? These ancient immortal emperors unleashed their respective might equivalent to the auras they felt, yet that person actually dared to take out an immortal weapon? Wasn’t that simply courting death?

After the geniuses died, the eyes of the immortal emperors flickered once more as their aura dwindled down back to the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

And when the situation quieted down, Qin Wentian and Qing`er suddenly vanished, moving towards the depths of the cavern. That same immortal emperor appeared once more, blasting out with a terrifying gigantic palm imprint. At that instant, Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand erupted forth with the entirety of his might, obliterating all that obstructed him.

Before this, the other immortal emperors had merely glanced over casually. But now, their expressions had all changed as they stepped out towards Qin Wentian, moving at the speed of lightning.

~swish~ Qing`er waved her hands as walls of space appeared, transforming into a spiral that blocked their path. While she and Qin Wentian advanced together, boundless spatial energy gushed forth as a resplendent glow radiated from her. At that instant, her attack strength increased explosively, capable of destroying everything.

Under Qin Wentian and Qing`er’s full-powered attacks, even the immortal emperor felt helpless before them. He glanced at the two of them and stepped to the side, actually allowing them to pass through.

—bzz!— Both of them instantly passed by him, entering the depths of the cavern.

”Let’s go!” The others also dashed out after seeing this scene. An overwhelming storm of power swept over this space as the geniuses unleashed their power to its limits, sparing nothing to rush through!
