Chapter 964: Chaotic Battle


    Trantor: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire


    Qin Wentian and the members of the Qin Sect all looked extremely grim. They were already exhausted, and had consumed a lot of energy from fighting against the members of the Violet Sect, and had suffered many casualties on their side. Qin Wentian had also consumed an extremelyrge amount of energy after using the Immortal Vanquishing Swordy. Although his energy reserves weren’tpletely empty yet, it was already impossible for him to be at his peakbat state.


    Under these circumstances, it was already tough to deal with the Evil Pce, let alone with the addition of an army of experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.


    "I can bring you away." Qing`er transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian.


    "The members of the Qin Sect are all here. If we flee now, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect will surely take their anger and frustration out on them. They might not dare to kill them outright, but they would definitely humiliate and abuse the Qin Sect’s members. In the City of Ancient Emperors, when ites to fights between the junior generations, anything goes as long as no deaths ur. The elder generations won’t involve themselves with this."


    "Act now." That lead disciple from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect spoke again. Mo Xie’s gaze was fixed on Little Rascal—that demonic beast was his prey. To Mo Xie, whatever grudge he had with Qin Wentian could be settled at ater date. Today, he had only one purpose. He wanted to seize a portion of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance. If he could gainprehension of a second portion, his strength would naturally increase.


    —RUMBLE!— The three other groups from the Eastern Sage Army formed into different battle formations, as their auras swept violently across the area, causing the sky to change color. One of the battle formations manifested the form of a savage devil ape. The moment its eyes opened, boundless might gushed forth from it and enveloped the entire space.


    Another battle formation manifested numerous grandmist ancient cauldrons, each inscribed with boundless runes that contained a power that could rain destruction on everything. Each and every cauldron seemed to have originated from the primordial era, and they radiated with inconceivable power.


    For thest group, the eighty-one people had split into nine smaller teams, increasing their mobility and allowing them to react swiftly to all variables on the battlefield. The might exuding from them was simrly just as fearsome.


    These four great groups each consisted of eighty-one people. There were those responsible for sealing the area, those responsible for carrying out overwhelming attacks, and even smaller teams to react to the variables of the battlefield. It could be said that their team’s battleposition was perfect; there were no ws at all. Even without the Evil Pce or the Violet Sect, this army of more than three hundred experts were enough to cause a threat to the Qin Sect.


    The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had sent them here to deal with Qin Wentian, intending to kill him. This decision was not made in a moment of impulse. For immortal emperor characters, once they decided on something, they would have considered every factor, and allowed no room for mistakes.


    —BOOM!— The primordial devil apeunched its attacks. An iparably violent devilish palm blotted out the skies as it mmed down to crush everything, aiming right for Qin Wentian.


    Qing`er’s silhouette flickered, appearing directly in front of Qin Wentian. Terrifying spatial fluctuations radiated out as she activated the Green-Lotus Sacred Compendium, swiftly shooting the Immortal ying Diagram towards the palm. However, that gigantic palm was simply too fearsome and easily shattered the diagram apart. Boundless runic light shimmered on that palm as an indication of the vast depth of energies contained within.


    ~rumble~ a thunderous boom sounded out. Qing`er’s countenance was like ice. The members of the Qin Sect gathered together andunched their attacks towards the air. Chaos ensued as different-colored beams of light sted into that terrifying gigantic palm imprint. Finally, with the sound of an explosion, that palm was shattered apart. But immediately after, the second group manifested ancient cauldrons containing supreme might, and the Qin Sect watched them descend from the sky in their direction.


    "With a battle formation like that, it would be impossible to turn the tides with the strength of one man. Our attacks are too scattered, so we need to focus our strength or we’ll surely be defeated," said Nanfeng Yunxi in a low voice. A red glow radiated from her as numerous ancient phoenixes sted into a cauldron. After a long moment, that cauldron finally shattered. However, there were soon other cauldrons appearing. It wasn’t enough to depend on Nanfeng Yunxi alone.


    Qin Wentian naturally understood the logic of her words. A battle formation would direct everyone’s strength perfectly, augmenting it by over ten to a hundred times more than their current performance. And even if every single one of them could fight five to six opponents by themselves, when in the face of a power boosted by ten to a hundred times, they would still be useless.


    Even if the Qin Sect coordinated their attacks andunched them together, their degree of concentration would still lose out to that of the battle formation. If they were unable to form a formation of their own, they wouldn’t be able to fight against their opponents.


    Qin Wentian stepped out, sting his palm towards an ancient cauldron. However, he was actually forced back from the impact and even coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. He was no longer at his peak state. He might not need to burn his life to use the Immortal Vanquishing Swordy, but its energy consumption was still astronomical enough to drain him to the point where hisbat prowess declined.


    Numerous ancient cauldrons shot towards Qin Wentian to smash the life out of him. The experts of the Qin Sect gathered before Qin Wentian, helping him to block the power of their enemies attack, yet their hearts were filled with despair. It was evident that they would be defeated sooner orter.


    From the start till now, Mo Xie hadn’t acted. Before this, he was fine sitting on the fence, watching from afar as the tigers fought in the mountains, waiting for both the Violet Sect and Qin Sect to suffer casualties before he stepped in. But before he could act, the army sent by the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had suddenly arrived. At this turn of events, an expression of interest appeared on Mo Xie’s face. If this continued, he wouldn’t need to expend too much energy to capture that demonic beast. The Qin Sect would soon crumble under the pressure.


    "BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE QIN SECT!" Qin Wentian suddenly roared, his voice echoing through the air. "In this battle, we fought against a total of three powers, and our defeat is inevitable. This can’t be med on our strength, but if this goes on, you guys will surely be abused and humiliated. Are all of you willing to ept this oue, or are you willing to go all out to fight a grand battle?"


    Qin Wentian’s voice reverberated through the air like thunder. It was just like he’d said; defeat was inevitable if they continued to fight. Even if they managed to repel the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect’s army, the Evil Pce was still waiting for them. And even if these people didn’t dare to kill them, they would surely injure them heavily before seizing all their treasures.


    Hence, the members of the Qin Sect now had a choice to make.


    They could either choose to continue, suffering humiliation upon defeat...or maybe, if they went all out and used their immortal weapons, they could still gain back an advantage. With immortal weapons, everyone would explode with strength, giving them the opportunity to turn the battle around. However, if both sides used immortal weapons under such circumstances, the danger would be extremely great and they wouldn’t be able to control the loss of life. If they went all out, they would be staking their own lives in the battle.


    "FIGHT!" A unified roar rang out, in answer to Qin Wentian’s question.


    "Let’s go all out. How can we be humiliated by those from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect?"


    The members of the Qin Sect all replied. Qin Wentian didn’t say anything, but he could feel waves of immortal might emanating forth as they took out their immortal weapons. For a period of time, the violent atmosphere intensified as supreme might permeated the air.


    Among these people, the one who had the least amount of worries was Qin Wentian. Originally, there was already a death grudge between him and the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, so he didn’t mind ughtering them. It was just that the Qin Sect was now involved, and Qin Wentian couldn’t help feeling a little guilty. "Brothers and sisters of Qin Sect, ughter out a path and leave the battlefield immediately. It’s fine if we give up this battle for we will take our revenge another day."


    "How about you?" asked one of the members.


    "Don’t worry, I still have to ughter the army of Eastern Sage until none are left. How can I bear to die like this?" assured Qin Wentian, his words ringing with arrogance. His left hand held onto the Runebone of the Sky Roc, and his right hand brandished the demon sword. He then sliced his palm lightly on the edge of the sword, and the demon sword started to hum as it radiated a towering surge of sword qi that swept over everything.


    —BOOM!— A surge of terrifying might gushed forth from the demon sword as it expanded in size. The shadow of a great roc seemed to appear, about to soar into the sky. The Sky Roc Rune Bone started thrumming, and soon after, Qin Wentian saw a shocking scene. Runes covered the body of the demon sword, infusing it with a fearsome absorption strength thatpletely devoured the Sky Roc Rune Bone.


    The experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect also took out their immortal weapons. Their countenances were extremely unsightly to behold. This was something they didn’t want to see because the moment they took out their immortal weapons, even they wouldn’t be able to anticipate the oue with rity. The threat of their battle formations would be severely weakened in the face of immortal-ranked weapons, unless they broke through to immortality and used an immortal-ranked formation instead.


    With immortal weapons added to the mix, turbulent chaos were the only words that could describe the battle. All of them were at risk of dying as well. This was something they didn’t wish to see the most, but to think that Qin Wentian would really choose to do this.


    Mo Xie frowned. This battle had gone beyond his expectations. With immortal weapons, it would be a life-and-death battle. With so many geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors at risk of dying due to a battle between each other, this was truly a rarely seen asion.


    The demon sword in front of Qin Wentian hummed as it vibrated intensely, sword qi gushing forth from it in waves. Qin Wentian stretched his hand out and held on to the hilt as he spoke in a low voice, "You said you hated that the sky was too low. Now, we are already in the immortal realms, and I will soon break through to the immortal-foundation as well. I hope you won’t disappoint me."


    As the sound of his voice faded, Qin Wentian shed out. The demon sword arced through the sky and the area was torn asunder by a supreme sword light. The experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect all hurriedly took out their immortal-ranked weapons and treasures to defend themselves. An overwhelming might ofceration shot into the sky, ripping apart the barrier formed from the formation.


    An expert from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect brandished a gigantic yellow bell that shone with a dazzling light. The bell floated up in the air as it emitted a rumbling sound. Momentster, terrifying sound waves swept over the heavens and earth, jolting Qin Wentian so badly that he was left trembling intensely. It felt like he’d just been struck by a bolt of lightning.


    This was the power of immortal weapons. They were all ascendants but had yet to enter the ranks of immortality, therefore an attack from an immortal-ranked weapon would be enough to threaten their lives. If both sides used immortal weapons, there would always be a high possibility that both sides would end up dying. This was because it was hard for the opponent to resist against the immortal energy, and it was tough for the user to control it. Luckily, these ascendants still couldn’t fully utilize the immortal weapons to their fullest potential. If not, the ending to this battle would certainly be even more disastrous!
