Ancient Godly Monarch

The battle formation fell into pieces, and the experts of the Qin Sect were like a bunch of tigers encountering a flock of sheep as they started their slaughter. The expert in the lead of this formation retreated into the crowd. His face was pale as he stared at the gigantic figure ahead—Qin Wentian’s figure.

That Qin Wentian led his experts and actually managed to break the battle formation. More than three hundred geniuses from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had all come here to hunt him. But now, could it be that they were all destined to die in this place?

The enmity between both parties had long escalated into a death grudge. Qin Wentian showed no mercy, and with every stab of his spear, there would surely be someone that died.

chi… A brilliant ray of immortal light shot out. The leader of this battle formation had finally taken out his immortal weapon. From his feelings of despair and knowing it was impossible to reverse the tides, he’d ultimately chosen to take out an immortal-ranked weapon. The other experts all froze when they saw this. Right now, only one path remained to them. By taking out their immortal-ranked weapons, only then would they still possess the slightest strand of chance.

Qin Wentian’s launched his long spear out of his hand, and it arced through the air like an incomparably resplendent bolt of lightning, shooting that expert who was the first to take out his immortal weapon. That overwhelming spear contained a supreme slaughtering might. That expert’s countenance was painted with terror, and he didn’t even have time to think and directly used the immortal weapon to block the area before him. A deafening blast rang out, and the impact let loose a stifling pressure. A suppressive might bore down on him, and yet another long spear shot out. However, this spear shone with an immortal light—it was the immortal-ranked weapon that Qin Wentian had previously forged for himself.

The long spear lengthened by 100 meters, piercing through the void and directly into the person’s body, nailing him in the air. A fearsome energy wave gushed out, but an instant later, a strand of immortal sense from that expert’s body activated, and a voice filled with authority coldly rang out.

”VILE CREATURE, YOU ARE COURTING DEATH!” thundered a voice filled with anger, but at the same time, a tribulation fire descended from the sky and landed directly on the expert. Right as the sound of his immortal sense rang out, it was destroyed completely, returning back to the void. Only a faint shadow could be seen as it tilted its head and roared with displeasure.

This scene caused everyone’s hearts to tremble, those experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect were now hesitant, unsure of whether they wanted to make this a war of immortal weapons.

”Whoever takes out an immortal weapon, we will collectively hunt them down first!” Qin Wentian coldly announced, holding another immortal weapon in his hand. The experts from the Qin Sect all switched their weapons, shimmering with immortal light. As soon as someone from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect took out an immortal weapon, that person would instantly be targeted by a multitude of arrows. Everyone would instantly launch their attacks to kill that person.

Regardless of how they chose to fight, they had already been checkmated.

The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had killed their way into the City of Ancient Emperors to hunt Qin Wentian down. Since their arrival, they had already been destined to encounter a calamity—the calamity of death.

”EVERYONE FLEE, FLEE IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, AND TRY TO SAVE YOURSELVES!” thundered a voice from among the experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. This was the only solution left. They could only try their best to escape, killing a path out in all directions. It all depended on luck now.

”It’s over, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect’s morale has already plummeted, and there’s no way they’ll be able to reverse the situation,” the spectators mused. Without morale, it was like the collapse of a mountain. This was a battle on the scale of thousands of experts; maintaining morale was extremely important. Since they had already lost it, they wouldn’t last long even if they tried to slaughter out a path to escape. They were like sitting ducks waiting to be shot.

”Hua Taixu, your master, Myriad Incarnations Immortal King, resides in the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefecture. He is filled with reverence for the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. You would actually dare to kill our members?” a voice filled with rage abruptly roared.

”For fights in the City of Ancient Emperors, we side with the factions we form here. Since I, Hua Taixu, have joined the Qin Sect, I will naturally be on their side. In any case, back when you guys surrounded the Qin Sect, none of you planned on showing me any mercy, did you? What do you hope to achieve by dragging our masters into this now?” Hua Taixu said softly. ”This matter is my matter alone. And although I’ve joined the Qin Sect in combat, I have never killed a member from your Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.”

In the immortal realms, even if the juniors were engaged in life-and-death battles, the elders of the senior generations were rarely involved in their disputes. For example, if the disciple of an immortal king were in conflict with a disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, and then ended up killing that disciple, would the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor then deal with that immortal king? It would be deemed almost impossible. There was only a slim possibility of that happening if, for example, the person killed was a descendant of the immortal emperor himself, or a truly favored personal disciple.

Naturally, this time the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had ordered more than three hundred elite geniuses to the City of Ancient Emperors to hunt down Qin Wentian. The fact that he, Hua Taixu, had decided to stand by Qin Wentian would undoubtedly cause the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to bear some hostility towards Hua Taixu’s master, the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King. However, Hua Taixu didn’t mind this at all. His master was merely residing at the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, and would occasionally show up at the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect’s events to give them some face. She wasn’t really a subordinate of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, and if the immortal emperor was unhappy with her, she would at most, just move away.

”Hua Taixu, you’d best not step into the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures in the future. Our Eastern Sage Immortal Sect will never spare you,” a disciple from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect said coldly.

Qin Wentian turned his gaze over there. Those small teams of nine were of no huge threat—they ’d all been crushed by Jun Mengchen and his companions. And the devil ape formation had already been broken, so it seemed that victory was at hand. It didn’t matter if he acted or not, they were already destined to win this battle. Right now, only the other battle formation had yet to shatter. Nanfeng Yunxi and Little Rascal were still doing their best.

”Qing`er, let’s go provide reinforcements for Nanfeng and Little Rascal.” Qin Wentian spoke and Qing`er nodded her head, retreating back to Qin Wentian’s side.

”Brothers, I will leave things here to you,” said Qin Wentian.

”Don’t worry, what I like most of all is to pulverize an already defeated enemy.” Someone laughed.

”Using numbers to bully the weaker ones. Are all the geniuses of the City of Ancient Emperors so shameless?” Many of experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect were utterly flustered and exasperated, frenziedly trying to kill their way out. They were now surrounded from all sides and ravaged, like prey trapped in a cage.

”Haha, I’m truly impressed by the people from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. You all actually have the courage to say this to us?” Some of the Qin Sect’s members started laughing. ”Before this, more than three hundred people from your side tried to gang up on our Qin Sect when we merely had a hundred members. What the hell was that then? How thick can your skin be? In any case, we shall properly let you all enjoy the feeling of being killed while being surrounded.”

”Why are the people from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect so humorous? The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor has truly nurtured a good batch of clowns!”

The Qin Sect completely occupied the advantage, and they even felt free to crack jokes now.

And as they spoke, Qin Wentian and Qing`er advanced towards the other ancient cauldron battle formation. Qin Wentian’s spear stabbed out with heaven-shaking might once more. When they noticed that reinforcements had arrived, Nanfeng Yunxi and Little Rascal put in even more effort, causing their attacks to grow more overwhelming. Aside from them, the other experts from the Qin Sect also joined in the fray, frenziedly launching their attacks to break the battle formation.

Over at the ancient cauldron battle formation, the experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect stared in panic as the densely packed members of the Qin Sect surrounded them. Their will for battle had long since collapsed into pieces.

They looked imposing and powerful, but everyone knew in their hearts that they were now nothing more than lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Cold smiles appeared on the faces of the members from the Qin Sect. This was like a smile of judgement, preparing to reap all their lives away.

”WHAT CAN WE DO?!” Finally, someone broke down and started roaring. No one could maintain a state of calmness when death was staring them in the face. Their hearts were slowly corroding away from fear.

—BOOM!— A startling reverberating might slammed into the battle formation, and it began to crack.

”Let’s surrender!” someone roared frantically.

”QIN WENTIAN!” A voice rang out from within the formation. ”We call for a temporary ceasefire, we have something we wish to say.”

The members of the Qin Sect glanced towards Qin Wentian, only to see Qin Wentian’s countenance had remained ice cold. ”Continue to break their battle formation. Kill them all.”

Ceasefire?

That was simply nothing but a joke.

The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect were in such dire straits, and now they wanted to ask for a ceasefire?

”ARGH!” A voice filled with misery rang out. More cracks appeared in the ancient cauldron formation as Qin Wentian wounded the experts inside. The terrifying impact immediately gushed into the battle formation.

”We are willing to surrender and leave the City of Ancient Emperors immediately!”

The experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect roared. However, Qin Wentian had no intention of stopping. He showed no hesitation as he continued attacking. Were they joking with him?

”WE ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOU ALL OUR TREASURES. PLEASE SPARE OUR LIVES!” Someone had completely broken down. More and more experts were heavily injured.

”The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect is nothing but a joke,” Qin Wentian said coldly. How arrogant had they been when they surrounded him back then, pursuing him and his companions all the way to the Antiquity City? Now that they were losing, they wanted him to call a ceasefire, and they wished to surrender?

”Indeed, these people are like clowns. It would have been if they had accepted their defeat, but now, they’re even throwing away the face of their sect as well.”

The spectators all sighed. Finally, with a thunderous boom, the battle formation shattered and the slaughtering began. The disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect finally spared nothing, and took out their immortal weapons. But right now, the onesfacing them were experts of the Qin Sect who had an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers. The disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect couldn’t do anything despite taking out their immortal weapons. Fresh blood continued to spray through the air.

The hearts of those spectating trembled violently. This was the largest battle they had ever witnessed in the City of Ancient Emperors. Similarly, there had never been a case where this many experts had died in the same battle. Today’s outcome had set a precedent.

Today was destined to be a day of calamity for those in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect!

...

In the Eastern Sage City, within the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, its countless palaces exuded a glorious feeling of majesty.

However at this moment, inside one of the majestic palaces, a tyrannical aura blasted out as a voice thundered throughout the sky.

”Yi`er has died!” The voice of an old man quivered as he rose into the air.

”My best disciple.”

”There’s something big happening in the City of Ancient Emperors.”

Countless figures soared up into the sky, as the voices of rage filled the air without end. The entire Eastern Sage Immortal Sect was swept up in their fury.

At a public square before a large palace, countless experts descended. Their faces were all sharp and solemn, and their auras were chilly. Their disciples had been sent out on a mission for the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, but now all of them had actually died.

Some of their immortal senses managed to appear in the City of Ancient Emperors for an instant, and they personally witnessed the battle. They knew that their disciples’ lives were all finished.

”What happened?” asked the immortal kings who had just arrived; they had no idea what was going on. However, for those who knew what had happened, their faces were black with anger. But even so, they couldn’t blame his Majesty for issuing that order.

~RUMBLE~ In the air above, a heaven-shaking might rumbled as a terrifying fire blazed through the sky—it indicated that a supreme expert had just arrived.

”It’s one of the four paragons, and even he is enraged.” The immortal kings of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect felt their hearts trembling. One of the four paragons of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had also sent a descendant of theirs to the City of Ancient Emperors; they had been part of the group that led more than three hundred experts to hunt down Qin Wentian.

At this moment, another wave of rumbling might rocked the area as a faint image appeared in the sky. This was none other than the image of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, but not his true body.

”From now on, if anyone in our sect encounters Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan, and their companions, kill them all without mercy. And, the disciple of the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King, Hua Taixu, is included in the killing list as well.” A cold voice thundered out, filled with incomparable authority that contained the towering flames of rage. This time, the prestige of their Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had been completely tarnished. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had personally issued the order, and his decision had ended up burying over three hundred elite talents from his own sect!

The anger felt by the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor towered up into the sky. His blood was boiling, and without even giving face to the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King, he’d issued a kill order for her disciple Hua Taixu!
