Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 919: Joint Attack

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Xuan Yang stared at Qin Wentian’s full power attack, yet the calmness on his face was calm to the extreme. Beams of light shot out endlessly, and although they were destroyed by Qin Wentian’s gigantic palm, he didn’t feel satisfied in the slightest.

”Bzz!” A transparent spear shot out, born from the ancient mirror. Xuan Yang stretched his hand out and made a grab, holding onto the spear as he stared at Qin Wentian. From the aura he exuded, the spectators could feel the imposingness of the absolute geniuses at the very peak.

”Lengyue, Qin Wentian will be defeated in this battle for sure. We mustn’t allow Xuan Yang to capture Qin Wentian so easily. What should we do?” Greedwolf stared at Xiao Lengyue as he asked. He was also one of rankers near the top of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, and hence, he was relatively clear about the strength difference between Qin Wentian and Xuan Yang. If Qin Wentian possessed the God’s Hand, he would be able to fight against Xuan Yang because of how tyrannical and domineering his attacks would be.

But without God’s Hand, the great roc Qin Wentian transformed into might have increased his speed and strength...but it didn’t increase his original comprehension of his constellations. How could his understanding of constellations not be inferior to Xuan Yang who was at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon? The power he could borrow from his constellation was also far inferior in comparison and although the lack of strength could be mitigated somewhat by his transformation into the great roc, the power of attacks from his constellation couldn’t.

Also in terms of comprehension, Qin Wentian was far lacking. For the top ten geniuses on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, they were a level higher compared to the others. They had already begun to step towards the immortal foundation realm, and started to comprehend the law energy of immortals. Although they have not established their immortal foundations, they could still control a hint of the embryonic form of immortal power. Just this advantage alone was sufficient for Xuan Yang to be victorious.

How could top rankers of the Immortal Ascension Rankings not be worthy of their reputations? Hence from Greedwolf’s perspective, although Qin Wentian’s strength reached the ultimate peak below immortality, he would undoubtedly still be defeated.

”Let’s wait a little longer. Even with the two of us, I’m not confident in being able to defeat Xuan Yang.” Xiao Lengyue spoke, not feeling any arrogance at all. When it comes to rankings at their level, all of them had supreme cultivation arts and techniques. Xuan Yang’s Heavenly Mystical Mirror Art had already reached the absolute limits of what Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants are capable of, able to absorb and reflect any of their attacks.

This meant that if you fought with Xuan Yang, not only would you have to face his attacks, you even had to be wary of your own attacks being reflected back on you. The stronger your attack power is, the stronger the reflection would be. Hence, one could very well imagine how difficult it is to fight against Xuan Yang. If not, how could Xuan Yang be so steadily ranked #4, easily suppressing herself, as well as the resplendent Princess Qing`er on the rankings.

”Mhm.” Greedwolf nodded lightly. In the air, Qin Wentian descended with terrifying speed, directly grabbing his talons towards Xuan Yang. As this attack was sent out, a fearsome silhouette of a great roc appeared in front of Xuan Yang, letting out a terrifying screech and wanting to rip Xuan Yang into pieces. In front of this silhouette, Xuan Yang seemed so small and inconsequential. However, the aura he was exuding made him seem like a giant.

The long spear in his hand slammed out, with boundless astral energy infused into it. Countless beams of blinding light appeared in the air, so dazzling that Qin Wentian found it hard to open his huge eyes.

”BANG!”

An enormous tidal wave of energy slammed against Qin Wentian’s talons. He retreated, his movements were akin to a roc of the wind, instantly soaring far away. His gigantic talons were trembling and as expected, it was the same as the case of Xuan Xing. Xuan Yang was skilled in the art of reflection as well. Not only that, he could even stack his own power with his opponent’s attack. Under that enormous tidal wave of energy, Qin Wentian’s talons felt as though they were about to shatter.

Qin Wentian glanced at Xuan Yang who was standing in his original spot, silently musing on the power of the #4 ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings. He activated his immortal battle art as a layer of runic light covered the body of the great roc. His eyes turned even sharper, seemingly able to pierce through those he looked at. Astral light from his constellations flashed brilliantly in the skies, cascading down onto him.

”Bzz!” A black streak arced through the skies, as Qin Wentian rushed forward once again with the speed of the wind. The only thing that could be seen was a beam of light shooting towards Xuan Yang.

Xuan Yang continued standing proudly in the air. Staring at the gigantic figure of the great roc, the astral energy of his constellation slashed outwards frenziedly aiming for that streak of black light. However, he only saw Qin Wentian paying no heed to his constellation attack. When the destructive astral energy slammed into the body of the great roc, the layer of light circulating around the roc actually blocked it, causing thunderous sounds of collision to ring out in the air.

”What a terrifying defense.” The hearts of the spectators trembled. The great roc was a demon, a sovereign of the skies. Its speed and defense was naturally insanely high. In addition to Qin Wentian’s immortal battle art and the Fiendgod Body Refinement Art, just based on pure defense, Qin Wentian’s stats have already reached an inconceivable level. It was impossible to deal with him merely with the pure astral energy attack from one’s constellation.

”Chi…” A palm strike ripped through the air, blasting outwards. Xuan Yang responded with a spear strike and with a deafening explosion, Qin Wentian’s figure vanished from sight. The only thing remaining was the sound of the wind.

”BANG, BANG, BANG!” Following which, the spectators only heard fearsome sounds of collision ringing out through the air. The speed of the great roc was too fast, just like a real bolt of lightning that unceasingly blasted towards Xuan Yang. Xuan Yang’s attack speed wasn’t in any way inferior as well. In a mere instant, it was unknown how many times the two of them had clashed.

Colliding time after time, again and again. In Xuan Yang’s surroundings, the silhouette of the great roc could be seen everywhere, so large that it blotted out the skies. Qin Wentian’s demonic qi towered into the heavens, and despite Xuan Yang’s terrifying strength, this endless manner of collision caused him to be somewhat unable to endure.

”How swift. This speed is simply unparalleled. Even if Qin Wentian is defeated here, if he wanted to leave, it would be difficult for Xuan Yang to stop him.” The spectators stared at the world-shaking clashes in the air as their hearts shuddered. However at this moment, they only saw a unique aura gushing from Xuan Yang’s surroundings. Boundless astral light flowed around him as his long spear stabbed out once again.

This spear...the speed of his attack seemed to have slowed down a lot. However, if one took a closer look, there seemed to be a strange fluctuation in Xuan Yang’s surroundings which contained a mysterious law energy. It felt like his surroundings were the interior of a mirror and when his long spear stabbed out, despite the slow-looking speed, its attack directly erupted forth in all directions.

Xuan Yang’s spear clearly stabbed out in a single direction. However, the spear light bent and shot out in all directions.

Xuan Yang’s spear arts evidently pierced forth, but clearly, the spear light bent and erupted in all directions.

”BANG!” Behind Xuan Yang, Qin Wentian’s palm that contained towering destructive might grabbed down. However, cracking sounds appeared as beams of mirror light shot over unceasingly and he only felt his own sharp talons enduring an incomparably powerful force. That was the energy of his own attack!

Not only that, it wasn’t simply 100% of his attacking power reflected back. The reflection attack seemed to be further boosted in power, shooting right back at him.

With a thunderous boom, Qin Wentian’s gigantic roc form was blasted far off in the distance as he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

”Law energy that only immortals could use?” Below, the various spectators felt their hearts shaking as they saw this scene. As expected, for those top few rankers on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, not only was their attack power at the ultimate peak, they also comprehended a trace of law energy. It was extremely terrifying when they infused that trace of immortal law energy into their attacks.

”The reflection attack is even stronger than Qin Wentian’s original attack.” Although Qin Wentian has the form of a giant roc, he is still in an inferior position in terms of cultivation. In addition other than God’s Hand, how could the other cultivation arts or innate techniques he knew be comparable to the Xuan Emperor’s supreme Heavenly Mystical Mirror Art? Also, Xuan Yang has even comprehended a trace of immortal energy.

In this case, as long as he couldn’t break the Heavenly Mystical Mirror Art of Xuan Yang, no matter how strong the power of his attacks are, they would all be reflected back to himself. Unless he could re-activate the God’s Hand, he basically had no chance to break Xuan Yang’s mirror.

Qin Wentian retreated unceasingly. After such a long battle, he had consumed an extremely terrifying amount of energy. And also, considering the clashes he had just before, Qin Wentian was seized by a sense of fatigue. All this was already destined when the Xuan Emperor broke his God’s Hand. The casual strike of the Xuan Emperor, although it didn’t break the rules of the City of Ancient Emperors and wasn’t considered too overbearing, he had destroyed one of Qin Wentian’s strongest trump cards.

”Senior brother, watch out!”

At this moment, a roar rang out in the air. It was Jun Mengchen who shouted out. A sense of imminent danger suddenly befall him as several overwhelming auras rushed towards him from his back. At the same time, Xuan Yang who was in front of him, also moved out with the speed of lightning, launching an attack over at him.

”Bzz!” Qin Wentian’s wings flapped rapidly, forcibly blocking the attacks that came from his back. After which, with another flap of his powerful wings, he soared higher up into the sky.

”Art of Grand Freezing!” At this instant, a heaven-startling coldness swept over everything, with the power to freeze everything under the heavens. Frost appeared in the air, and that gigantic body of Qin Wentian was instantly frozen solid, transformed into a state of ice. Not only him, the entire space he was in had frozen completely but even so, the ice statue of the giant roc he was, continued to soar up the skies due to his earlier momentum.

”BANG!” A terrifying demonic qi gushed forth as the ice broke apart inch by inch. In the next instant, Greedwolf appeared on the back of the giant roc as he stabbed out a finger. At that moment, a chaotic stream of energy pierced directly into Qin Wentian’s body, ravaging his insides, wanting to break him apart.

”You won’t be able to escape.” Xiao Lengyue’s cold voice drifted over. Yet another wave of incomparable coldness descended, causing even the spectators so far below to feel waves of numbness due to the frost.

Xuan Yang, ranked #4 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

Xiao Lengyue, ranked #6 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

Greedwolf, ranked #12 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

These three were all supreme geniuses at the peak, and right now all three of them were joining forces to deal with Qin Wentian. One could very well imagine the scale of destructiveness they could wrought.

This battle was simply intense. This Qin Wentian had comprehended God’s Hand, how could these people not go all out to capture him? And due to the speed of the wind roc, he was simply too fast. In order to capture Qin Wentian, they first had to injure him grievously.

Xiao Lengyue appeared before Qin Wentian, her palms shimmering with the terrifying power of frost that grew increasingly stronger. She was preparing to attack Qin Wentian, with unmatchable ruthlessness.

”SENIOR BROTHER!” Jun Mengchen howled. He and Zi Qingxuan instantly shot up into the air, only to see the experts of the Xiao Sect blocking them.

”GET LOST!” Jun Mengchen roared. When he saw what Xiao Lengyue was doing, the veins in his entire body protruded out as waves of anger rolled off from him. If her attack hit, it would surely injure Qin Wentian so severely that he would be at the verge of death.

Jun Mengchen let out a terrifying roar that could shake the heavens, yet he was helpless to do anything.

But all of a sudden, the power of ice and frost was halted forcibly.

”BOOM!” Xiao Lengyue’s attack failed to hit her target, and the ice and frost in the area was forcibly lacerated by an intense wave of golden light that appeared before Qin Wentian. What was even more shocking was that within that burst of golden light, a faint silhouette of an incomparably beautiful woman could be seen!

Translator Note: Is it finally time….? WHO IS THIS NEW ARRIVAL?!

Small note: Greedwolf was apparently ranked #20 in the earlier chapters, but either the author forgot, or the one previously was a typo error.
