Ancient Godly Monarch

In the starry space, Luoshen Chuan faced Qin Zheng.

Qin Dangtian and Qin Wentian who were destined enemies, stood in opposition to each other. Just like what Luoshen Yu had said, they were born to be mortal enemies.

There was naturally no need to say anything more about Qin Zheng and Luoshen Chuan’s battle. As for the battle between Qin Zheng’s son and Qin Yuanfeng’s son, it filled the hearts of others with anticipation. Back then when Qin Zheng fought against Qin Yuanfeng, there had been many rumors. Many people stated that back then, Qin Yuanfeng’s talent was even higher than Qin Zheng who was nurtured as the successor of the Qin Clan but ultimately, Qin Yuanfeng died. After a thousand years of his death, Qin Zheng ascended to the position of the Qin Clan Leader.

That legend of the Qin Clan, Qin Yuanfeng, had faded away after Qin Zheng’s complete victory. But nobody knew that the grudge within the Qin Clan still continued. Qin Yuanfeng might not have died. His son grew up in a particle world and came all the way to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and even attained the dao within a thousand years.

Qin Dangtian stared at the young man before him. His eyes were still filled with an incomparable arrogance, not considering Qin Wentian important at all. Attaining the dao within a thousand years? So what?

“Just like what you said, back then at the sacred academy I once said to you that you don’t know what is the dao. Today, you feel that you already know it but I’m going to show you that you still don’t understand.” Qin Dangtian’s arrogance knew no bounds. He was Heaven’s Son and was destined to be extraordinary the moment he was born. He had comprehended the heavenly dao for many years. He himself was the heavenly dao. How could he only have comprehended a single dao?

“Let’s hope your strength can match up to your words. If not, wouldn’t things be incredibly ironic?” Qin Wentian calmly replied. However, he didn’t dare to slight his enemy. He who had cultivated to his current realm naturally understood that the higher a cultivation realm was, the greater the disparity in strength between people at that realm would be. Back then when he first entered the world overlord realm, he could already understand the difference between world overlords. He was a supreme-level world overlord right after he broke through, ordinary world overlords couldn’t even withstand a single strike from him. But at that point of time, he was truly nothing before a hegemonic-level world overlord.

And now, he had entered the heavenly deity realm. Among those of the same cultivation realm, the disparity in strength between each deity would be even greater than the disparity between world overlords due to the different daos once comprehended.

Qin Dangtian was known as the Heaven’s Son. The moment he broke through, he defeated the Skyorder Heavenly Deity Luoshen Yu. One could tell how high his talent was. From that time until now, how much had his strength improved by? He would only be stronger. Back when at the sacred academy, ancient words representing each different heavenly dao revolved around him. This caused the three heavenly deities of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy to sigh in inferiority to him.

And after that, Qin Dangtian suffered intense humiliation when he was slapped away by a gigantic hand of heaven manifested by the sacred academy’s headmaster and went back to the Qin Clan for closed-door seclusion. It was rumored that he was now much stronger than before.

This was Qin Dangtian. And as for Qin Wentian, he had just comprehended the dao of swords. From this, one could very well imagine the pressure he had to face. However, he still felt no fear. He knew that this battle was inevitable.

Qin Dangtian laughed arrogantly, he didn’t continue speaking. Only by battling would everything be proved. Someone who just attained the dao wanted to fight against him? Is Qin Wentian dreaming foolishly?

Ancient words revolved around him, each of them had their own halo, containing an incomparably vast might that was the power of their heavenly daos.

His father focused on the Divine Punishment Heavenly Dao but he was different. He had his own dao, a completely different one from his father. The path he walked was a different path from all others. He cultivated different daos at the same time and because of his proficiency in them, he was given the title of Heaven’s Son by everyone.

At this moment, the halos from the ancient words around him engulfed Qin Dangtian, he was like an invincible divinity, capable of peering down imperiously at everything in this world. He took a step forward and pointed a finger at Qin Wentian. In an instant, an ancient word blasted out with incredible speed, aiming for Qin Wentian. At this moment, a supreme restrictive force bore down on Qin Wentian. It felt like his movements were completely locked.

No, it was more than that. It was like the space around him was locked, not allowing him to make any moves.

Qin Wentian’s heart was as calm as water. He glanced at the ancient word blasting over. His sword region manifested behind him and similarly, an ancient word representing the character ‘sword’ appeared. It blasted out abruptly, leaving behind a streak of resplendent light in the starry space.

Both the ancient words collided together, resulting in a thunderous explosion that illuminated the entire area. Just the aftershock from a casual exchange of blows from heavenly deities was already extremely shocking in terms of power.

“Not bad.” Qin Dangtian calmly spoke. Abruptly, even more ancient words of power representing the character ‘lock’ manifested. In an instant, the entire starry space seemed to be locked down. This power was mighty to the extreme.

“However, I really want to see if your cultivation base is strong enough for me to exert 10% of my power.” As the sound of Qin Dangtian’s voice faded, the ancient words erupted forth, blasting towards Qin Wentian. The law energy from the great dao engulfed everything as a gigantic word of ‘locking’ spanned across the air, focusing on locking down Qin Wentian, brimming with enough energy to lock the heavens.

Numerous rune words of locking directly blasted into Qin Wentian, causing his movements to be completely locked. After that, more ancient words appeared around Qin Dangtian. One was unable to see clearly what character they represented. The power of the words penetrated everything as a shocking destructive might brewed within.

Qin Wentian’s body was in the center of his sword region. Although his body was locked, the sword region around him dragged his body along as it spun about, shifting its position. At the next moment, Qin Wentian’s body seemed to have vanished, he broke through the words of ‘locking’. He instantly appeared before Qin Dangtian and slashed out with his sword.

The moment the sword slashed out, time seemed to stop. Only the sword existed and it was capable of devouring everything.

Qin Dangtian stretched out his hand and pressed his palm forward. An instant later, the haloes of the ancient words formed a brilliant light screen that blocked the area before him. The spacetime sword might severed the light screen into two, but the sword might was also greatly diminished.

However, all of this was just the start.

Sword light manifested, a boundless sword region appeared around Qin Dangtian, sealing him within. A beam of light directly fell from the sky, cleaving downwards wanting to slash apart everything. Even before this sword beam faded, another sword beam erupted forth from another direction. In an instant, the area around Qin Dangtian had completely became a world of swords. In there, only the sword dao existed.

Qin Dangtian inclined his head and calmly stared at the boundless sword might gushing towards him. He pressed his palm forward as his own ancient words of power erupted forth, forming a divine barrier that could withstand the invasion of ten thousand daos. This divine barrier was formed from countless ancient rune words, it simply sat there and absorbed the blow of the sword beams, the sword attacks were unable to break apart the barrier’s defense. Qin Dangtian stood there with complete ease.

“Continue.” Qin Dangtian calmly spoke. It was like Qin Wentian’s attacks were completely insignificant to him, unworthy of a mention.

“Wentian, be careful! His divine barrier can absorb the energy of your attack and rebound it back!” Luoshen Chuan yelled. Back then, when Luoshen Yu fought with Qin Dangtian, he was defeated because he underestimated Qin Dangtian’s strength of dao and resulted in his cultivation base being crippled.

Now, Qin Wentian was fighting against Qin Dangtian. Although his own opponent was the powerful Qin Zheng, he couldn’t help but be distracted as he was concerned about Qin Wentian. He couldn’t rest his heart at ease at all. Although Qin Wentian’s talent was supreme, but at this very moment, it was still too difficult for him to defeat Qin Dangtian. The Heaven’s Son was already extremely powerful when he first entered the heavenly deity realm. And now, many years have passed since then. Qin Wentian also hasn’t completely stepped into the heavenly deity realm yet as he needed to refine his dao and condense his final astral soul. Before all of that, he would have no way to contend against Qin Dangtian.

Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed when he heard his grandfather’s reminder. After which, a cold smile flickered in Qin Dangtian’s eyes. So what if Qin Wentian was warned? His palm slammed out and in the next instant, the countless ancient words on the divine barrier each erupted with their own radiance. At this moment, the power of Qin Wentian’s sword dao earlier was augmented by the force of Qin Dangtian’s rune words and rebounded back towards Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian didn’t merely have to contend against Qin Dangtian’s attack. He had to deal with the power he himself unleashed against Qin Ddangtian earlier. The stronger his earlier attack, the stronger the rebound effect would be.

Time around him stopped, locking him in place. The destructive might came crashing down and at this moment, Qin Wentian truly felt danger. His eyes gleamed with sword intent and at this moment of imminent peril, his gaze suddenly erupted forth with might from the heavenly dao. The sword intent from his gaze twisted time and space as the destructive might unleashed by Qin Dangtian missed him by a hair, flying passed beside him. He made use of this gap in time as he retreated with explosive speed, to a very far away place.

A strange light flashed in Qin Dangtian’s eyes. He felt that his strength was several leagues higher than Qin Wentian and his cultivation was deeper. He who has been comprehending the heavenly dao for many years at the heavenly deity realm, wasn’t someone Qin Wentian who just attained the dao could compare to. He was very sure of the power of his divine barrier. The amount of power, the number of daos fusing together made it so that his divine barrier was a tool of offense and defense. Also, by right, this earlier attack should be sufficient to crush Qin Wentian. Yet, Qin Wentian managed to evade it. It did cause him to feel somewhat surprised.

“In the past, your uncle Luoshen Yu was crippled by this attack.” Qin Dangtian spoke to Qin Wentian, his words causing a cold light to gleam in Qin Wentian’s eyes. Heavenly deities were lofty existences, yet his uncle’s cultivation was actually crippled.

“I will stop playing around with you. I don’t feel that interested in fighting you. You are still not qualified.” Qin Dangtian continued. After that, an even stronger pressure erupted from him. It was like he was completely not serious before this. Only now did he get serious and was preparing to conclude the battle.

Qin Wentian turned his eyes ahead. His demon sword was unsheathed and appeared in his hand. In an instant, it expanded its form, becoming extremely gigantic. Qin Wentian pulled the giant sword along as he flew forward and the sword might radiating from the demon sword was so strong that it felt as though it was capable of tearing apart the starry space. Such intensity of power, even heavenly deities would feel that it was terrifying!

Qin Dangtian stared at Qin Wentian’s actions, he was as calm as ever. The divine might radiating from him grew increasingly stronger. The current Qin Wentian wanted to challenge him? This was nothing but a fool’s dream!
