    Trantor: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire


    The Violet Sect, the Evil Pce and the Qin Sect. The three powers grew stronger and stronger.


    And as all three sects were gathering strength, in the open area outside the City of Ancient Emperors, beams of light shot through the air as a number of figures descended onto the earth.


    Booming reverberations rocked the heavens and earth, like that of an earthquake. Clouds of dust scattered around, shrouding their silhouettes. And after a long moment, when all the dust finally settled, arge number of figures could be seen.


    ~bzz bzz bzz~ Four more figures appeared from a different direction, and were floating mid-air above the figures who’d appeared earlier. Each of them seemed to be a leader of a group, and if one were to observe them in more detail, the four great camps of people all had a total of 81 people respectively. In addition, there were over 360 geniuses present. Not only that, all of them were experts at the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon—the strength of this group was terrifying to the extreme.


    "Move out." The four in the lead all projected extraordinary auras. One of them gave themand, and the entire group entered the city. Everywhere they passed, the crowds felt their hearts trembling at the number of experts these four groups had.


    "Are these people from a supreme power in the immortal realms?" A spectating genius spoke in a low voice, feeling a little puzzled. The City of Ancient Emperors was different from other ces. The people who came here would usuallye in small batches of a few people. It was very rare for a powerful sect in the immortal realms to send so many ascendants here together at the same time. And they were clearly ninth-level ascendants, a whole army of them.


    Evidently, they hade here with a purpose. But why were they here exactly?


    These people in fact...had alle from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.


    The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor summoned all the geniuses at the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon under hismand, sweeping through the current seven prefectures still under his control. Under the countless years the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had held sway, how immense was the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect truly? Not mentioning the geniuses at the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon, there were even plenty of immortal kings.


    Among these ninth-level ascendants, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect selected over three hundred of the strongest individuals, and then sent them to the City of Ancient Emperors. The four young men in the lead all had extraordinary statuses. They were personal disciples of the four paragons of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, the most outstanding characters at the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon.


    They’de to this ce for one purpose only—to kill Qin Wentian. They wanted to rip out the roots of the Qin Sectpletely.


    It wasn’t so easy to endure the rage of an immortal emperor-level character.


    And right now, Qin Wentian had no idea that an army had been sent to the City of Ancient Emperors to deal with him.


    Naturally, he’d thought of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s rage. But he didn’t expect the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to take such swift action by immediately mobilizing the elite members of the Eastern Sage Army to enter the City of Ancient Emperors.


    In the Qin Sect, Qin Wentian received the news that Little Rascal had alsopleted itsprehension and left the Underworld Mountains.


    Right now, Qin Wentian was floating in the air, staring at the members of his Qin Sect as he spoke, "Members of the Qin Sect, everyone prepare to move out now."


    As the sound of his voice faded, numerous figures soared into the air. All of them were experts of the Qin Sect. They stared at Qin Wentian with some bewilderment, not knowing why their sect leader had summoned them.


    "Make your preparations for battle," Qin Wentianmanded. After which, he turned to Qing`er. "Qing`er, take out your spatial treasure and we will bring everyone from the Qin Sect and depart for the Underworld Mountains immediately."


    "Right." Qing`er nodded. With a wave of her hand, her spatial treasure appeared. It was a gigantic leaf that emanated intense spatial energy fluctuations.


    "Everyone, follow me." Qin Wentian and Qing`er stepped onto the gigantic leaf. The other geniuses of the Qin Sect each mounted the leaf as well. They still had no idea what had happened to make Qin Wentian summon the entirety of their strength. They could faintly sense that their opponent this time around—if it wasn’t Zi Daoyang of the Violet Sect—would surely be Mo Xie and his Evil Pce.


    Fearsome spatial fluctuations rocked the atmosphere, and the gigantic leaf acted like a flying boat, disappearing directly into the void.


    .......


    In the Underworld Mountains, the two passageways that led to the caverns were now flooded with people. The man in the lead exuded unmatched magnificence—he was none other than Zi Daoyang.


    Before Zi Daoyang stood an iparably gigantic ferocious demon beast. This demonic beast’s head shone with a golden luster, and its eyes flickered with an extremely chilly light. Low-sounding roars rang out unceasingly as it stared at Zi Daoyang.


    "I’ve waited for you for a long time. Who would have thought that you’d be this powerful after obtaining the inheritance? What a surprise...but no matter what, everything shall eventually be mine." Zi Daoyang’s constetion shed in the sky—it was like the silhouette of a divinity, and the light circting around him was like a heaven-devouring diagram that could devour a myriad of living things in the heavens and earth.


    Zi Daoyang sted out his palm and a gigantic violet palm imprint shot through the air, shimmering with divine might. The violet rays shone on the demonic beast ahead, containing an unexcelled might within.


    "ROAR!" That powerful demonic beast let out a wrathful roar. Around him, a divine glow shed, shrouding him protectively with an imprable defensive shield.


    —BOOM!— The violet palm imprint sted against it. The screen of light formed from the divine glow began to crack apart. Zi Daoyang snorted coldly as he advanced forth, stretching his hand out and manifesting a palm of darkness that mmed into the cracked screen of light. Boundless runes circted as the energy from the divine glow barrier was absorbed into him bit by bit.


    The experts of the Violet Sect crowded around, tightly sealing the area and allowing no openings for the demonic beast to escape. All this was to aid Zi Daoyang in seizing the portion ofprehension that demonic beast had acquired.


    Zi Daoyang was none other than the one who’d ranked first in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, and he’d even obtained a portion of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance. If he could acquire another portion, his strength would surely shoot up, and because of this, Zi Daoyang had been well-prepared during these past few days— he’d camped around the Underworld Mountains so he could appear the instant anything strange happened.


    Within that screen of light, Little Rascal’s roars shook the heavens and earth. His sharp talons raked out, simrly shimmering with intense runic light, devouring everything it touched. The energy from him and Zi Daoyang attacked each other through the screen of light—it was terrifying to the extreme.


    "Who would have thought a vile creature like you would be so powerful? If it weren’t for the fact that you obtained a portion of the inheritance, I would surely tame you to be my mount," Zi Daoyang coldly spoke. His left palm lifted out, and the violet rays that radiated forth materialized into a violet sword. His constetion shone down its light, causing the violet sword to be infused with an unparalleled sharpness that could ughter its way through everything.


    chi chi... The violet sword shed down, cleaving through the screen of light as it aimed for Little Rascal’s gigantic body. Little Rascal howled in anger as his other paw smashed out, blocking the violet sword. Despite this, the power within the violet sword could tear apart all defenses, and instantly shed through the iparably tough paw, causing fresh blood to flow out while Little Rascal roared in extreme misery.


    —bzz!— A beam of intense light shed as iparably terrifying spatial fluctuations rumbled the area. After which, a thunderous shout rang out through the sky, "RELEASE HIM!"


    Along with that thunderous shout, there seemed to be a palm imprint formed from the hand of God itself, crushing downwards. It was none other than Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand.


    Zi Daoyang waved his left hand, his violet sharp sword shed upwards, shing against the God’s Hand as a deafening sound echoed from the impact. A momentter, the palm imprint created by the God’s Hand was shattered, but its energy had neutralized the violet sword, causing it to vanish as well.


    Numerous palm imprints fell from the sky, each containing an unfathomably profound divine might that could suppress everything. Zi Daoyang retreated rapidly, he turned his gaze up to the air, looking at the newly arrived figures. He saw Qin Wentian standing arrogantly in the air, the experts of the Qin Sect behind him.


    An extremely terrifying coldness flickered in Qin Wentian’s eyes. Clearly, it wasn’t Zi Daoyang alone who was keeping tabs on the Underworld Mountains; Qin Wentian, Zi Daoyang, and Mo Xie all had people stationed there. But Qin Wentian hadn’t expected Zi Daoyang to act so swiftly, hence he had no choice but to ask Qing`er to use her spatial treasure.


    "While I wasprehending the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance, I heard your fame has been rising day by day in the City of Ancient Emperors. Establishing a sect of your own, did it give you false confidence that you’d be able to fight against me?" An iparable arrogance radiated from Zi Daoyang. He was ranked at the top of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, no one could fight him.


    "ROAR!" Little Rascal roared at him. After which, its body soared up into the air and appeared beside Qin Wentian, ring coldly at Zi Daoyang down below.


    "The strength of this vile beast truly isn’t bad. I couldn’t bear to kill it," Zi Daoyang spoke in a faint tone as he continued, "Oh, so Nanfeng and Little Sister Qing`er are here as well."


    Qing`er’s countenance was like ice. She coldly replied, "I’m not acquainted with you."


    "In the future I shall pay a visit to Uncle Evergreen, and Little Sister Qing`er will naturally be acquainted with me by then." Zi Daoyang smiled. After that he turned to Qin Wentian, "Qin Wentian, for the sake of Little Sister Qing`er, I don’t wish to make things difficult for you. You guys can leave here, but this demonic beast is mine for sure."


    "As long as I’m here, that’s absolutely impossible," Qin Wentian coldly spoke.


    "Do you really believe you can stop me? Even if you were at the ninth level instead of the eighth, what can you do? So what if you’re ranked fourth now? The difference between the fourth rank and the first rank is something you can never imagine." Zi Daoyang’s body shone with a dazzling violet light as his aura intensified. He was like a divinity of his constetion, radiating an untold amount of radiance.


    "This is the Violet Emperor’s Ultimate Violet Saint Immortal Art—it contains a boundless might and can boost one’s whole strength to an unfathomable extent, capable of breaking through anything. It’s one of the two famed ultimate arts of the Violet Emperor," Nanfeng Yunxi transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian, reminding him to be more cautious.


    As the sound of her voice faded, she and Qing`er walked to stand beside Qin Wentian, intending to fight side-by-side with him.


    Back then the three of them had managed to heavily injure Mo Xie after they joined forces. Zi Daoyang’s strength wasn’t in any way inferior to Mo Xie, but as to his exact level of strength, they would only know after they fought.
