    The Thunder n was precisely located in the Earth Region of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.


    Back then when the experts of the various hegemonic powers joined forces to attack the Heaven Vault, the experts of the Thunder n acted with the greatest relish, they were iparably tyrannical and did what they wanted, wantonly killing the people of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect.


    But now, the experts of the Thunder n were all filled with worry. The more brazen they were back then, the more fear they felt right now.


    The Qin n was a very good example for everyone. The Qin n was already destroyed, such an immense hegemonic power had now be history. Those who died, died. Those who dispersed, dispersed. All heavenly deities from the Qin n had fallen.


    Ever since the Qin n was destroyed, the experts of the Thunder n haven’t spent a single day not living in fear. They were afraid of the future. The Thunder n Leader personally went to the western paradise but didn’t manage to gain their assistance. After he returned, he cursed the western paradise of being despicable, saying that they were hitting a person who was down. But as to his exact discussion with the western paradise, nobody in the Thunder n knew what it was about.


    The heavenly deities of the Thunder n also discussed if they shouldy low for now and migrate away. There were billions of people in the Thunder n, even if they wanted to flee, where could they flee too? They were too huge a target. Unless they were willing to be fragmented and all the heavenly deities would go their own way, there was no way to flee. But the deities of the Thunder n were all filled reluctance simply thinking of this. They had worked so hard to cultivate to the heavenly deity realm. Now, they wanted to run away before their enemy came by? What does this count for?


    Eventually, the Thunder n still chose to wait, they were preparing for a battle.


    The Thunder n had countless years of foundation. How could they not have the ability to fight a battle with the Heaven Vault?


    Although they were already prepared mentaly, when Qin Wentian led an army of deities to the Thunder n, the experts of the Thunder n still felt their hearts shuddering as fear filled their hearts. In the vast Thunder n Castle, countless people inclined their heads and stared up at the army of deities in the sky. This, was the power of the Heaven Vault. They actually had so many heavenly deities.


    Which hegemonic power in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms couldpare to them? The western world was the only one.


    The Heaven Vault became a peak-tier hegemonic power with a single leap, they are actually even slightly superior whenpared to ordinary peak-tier hegemonic powers.


    The Thunder n Leader stood below, staring up at the sky. His divine sense swept out while he sighed in relief in his heart. Among the deities from the Heaven Vault, Qin Yuanfeng wasn’t here.


    Qin Yuanfeng was the truly terrifying character. His strength far surpassed heavenly deities, even Qin Zheng of the Qin n couldn’t withstand a single strike. The heavenly deities of the Qin n joined forces and was crushedpletely. Qin Yuanfeng was like a godking, all deities were ants before him.


    Luckily, he didn’te here today or the Thunder n would truly have no hope at all.


    “Qin Wentian.” The Thunder n Leader spoke. “Back then, I might have offended you but that was only because of the general situation then. It isn’t my n alone who is behind this. Today, I’m willing to apologize for my n’s past actions, you can ask for anypensation you want. From now on, my Thunder n will no longer have anything to do with the Heaven Vault, let’s let all our grudges be cleared off with a single stroke. How about it?”


    Qin Wentian stood in the air, staring down imperiously. His expression was cold, what a joke. Why do people of the world always act like this? They were so brazen before but when they realized their strength couldn’tpare, they immediately wanted to apologize and call off the grudge. How could things be settled so easily? If things could be settled so easily, how could there be the word ‘hatred’?


    I kill your people but when your strength exceeds mine, I will apologize and everything shall be concluded?


    “I heard that when the experts of the Thunder n killed their way into my Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, they were extremely imposing and tyrannical? Where was the imposingness all of you showed back then?” Qin Wentianughed mockingly. His eyes flickered with cold killing intent. If he spared the Thunder n now, wouldn’t those disciples of the divine sect who died in defense have died for nothing? They were filled with hot-blood, willing to sacrifice their lives for the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. If he spared the Thunder n, how can he as the sect leader, face up to those who chose to sacrifice their lives?


    “Although my Thunder n was at fault, but we have only killed a few disciples of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. My Thunder n is willing to pay a huge price aspensation. Why is there a need to force us to the end?” The Thunder n Leader spoke from a position of weakness.


    “Merely killed a few disciples of my Qin Heavenly Divine Sect?” Qin Wentian’s eyes grew colder and colder. He stared at the Thunder n Leader, as he icily spoke, “Even your life cannotpare to a single one of my sect’s members. You will die today.”


    As the sound of his voice rang out, an intense killing intent was released from Qin Wentian. His heavenly dao might gushed forth, instantly creating a stifling pressure. He took a step out and resembled a godking, the divine might from him bore down on the entire Thunder n.


    The Thunder n Leader stared at Qin Wentian as his expression turned unsightly. Since Qin Wentian refused to spare the Thunder n, they could only fight.


    Not long ago, at the battle in the Qin n, Qin Wentian defeated Qin Dangtian who obtained the Moon God’s inheritance. In the western paradise, he killed the Karma Buddha and Reincarnation Buddha. From this, one could see that Qin Wentian’s current strength has already reached the level of peak characters in hegemonic powers. But even so, it didn’t mean that him, the Thunder n Leader, had no way to fight. The Thunder n was a heavenly deity n that hadsted for countless years, their foundations were also immeasurably deep.


    Qin Wentian saw the Thunder n Leader retreating. The Thunder n Leader waved his hand and in the next instant, boundless lightning shed. The entire Thunder n was in the center of a divine thunder formation. The terrifying light of thunder and lightning towered up, causing fearsome rumbling noises. The purple lightning streaked across the entire sky. In an instant, this boundlessly vast space turned into a world of thunder and lightning.


    The experts in the air lowered their heads and looked at the Thunder n. The entire Thunder n was shining with an iparably resplendent glow that radiated a dao intent of destruction. At the center of the thunder divine formation, a supremely powerful divine weapon appeared. It was none other than the Vast Sky Divine Hammer used by the Thunder n Leader. This supreme divine weapon was acting as the catalyst for the divine formation, drawing the thunder and lightning. Other than this, in eight other locations inside the Thunder n, there were eight other divine weapons used as catalysts as well. Each of the weapons were extremely terrifying and at this moment, they all became a part of the divine formation. From this, one could imagine how strong the power of the formation was.


    Qin Wentian lifted his head and stared at the sky. Although this formation used the Thunder n as the base, the true destructive might was actually in the air. Lightning streaked through the entire sky, thunder booms could be heard constantly. Numerous divine hammers and giant drums manifested in the air. Clearly, the Thunder n was long prepared for their arrival.


    How could a powerful heavenly deity n just simply wait for their deaths?


    “Be careful.” Qin Wentian warned after sensing the power of this formation. Everyone nodded their heads. The army of deities descended slowly. They wouldn’t allow the Thunder n to find any chance to kill one of them. Not a single one of them can die.


    “Qin Wentian, why must you force me?” The Thunder n Leader stepped out. As the sound of his voice rang out, the thunder drums in the sky began to reverberate. Everyone only felt their souls trembling from the echoes of the drums. It was like the sound had the power to injure their souls. Even their bodies were suffering an unbelievable amount of damage. This caused many deities to groan in misery as their faces turned pale.


    “Qin Wentian, I shall ask you again. If you are willing to stop now, my Thunder n is still willing to apologize andpensate your Qin Heavenly Divine Sect for the losses.” The Thunder n Leader spoke. His entire being was cloaked in divine thunder, like he was the lord of the sky. He could control all the thunder of the nine heavens, and stood in the air arrogantly. Even now, he still didn’t want to wage a war with Qin Wentian. Because he knew that even if he could defend himself against this army of deities, there was still a Qin Yuanfeng behind Qin Wentian. No one was able to block such a heaven-defying character like Qin Yuanfeng.


    “Are you sure you want to resist like this?” Qin Wentian swept his gaze at the Thunder n Leader as he spoke with cold disdain. Upon seeing the coldness in Qin Wentian’s eyes as well as hearing his words, a strong sense of unease welled up in the Thunder n Leader’s heart. But he still stood in the air arrogantly and spoke, “Seems like you don’t want to make peace. Since this is the case, we can only fight.”


    As the sound of his voice faded, he took a step out, trampling on the heavens and earth. Heavenly thunder churned wildly, everyone only felt apocalyptic might boring down on them, wanting to destroy their bodies and souls.


    But at this moment, Qin Wentian slowly moved forward. He stretched his arms out and released heavenly dao light, creating an independent spacetime that enveloped the deities on his side. This spacetime seemed to contain a strange energy, able to absorb the divine might from the divine thunder formation, turning the attacks into nothingness.


    “Power of banishment?” The Thunder n Leader’s heart grew cold. He continued to wave his hand, causing thunder to strike down from the sky. The thunder and lightning mixed together, forming a huge current of power. Qin Wentian felt as though he was in an ocean of thunder, he could sense how insignificantly small was he.


    “Enter.” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. The powerful current of boundless lightning and thunder was sealed inside another spacetime he created, the might contained within them were exiledpletely due to being sealed. The Thunder n Leader stared at Qin Wentian with an ugly look on his face. This fellow, what sort of method was this exactly?


    “Why must you try so hard?” Qin Wentian spoke in a cial tone. As the sound of his voice faded, the thunder and lightning power he sealed inside his independent spacetime now actually was all unleashed in the direction of the Thunder n. In the next instant, the entirety of power inside there erupted forth. It was like the apocalypse came for the Thunder n. Countless people died in an instant, buildings crumbled apart, the deities of the Thunder n acted frenziedly to protect their weaker nsmen.


    “How can this be?” The Thunder n Leader turned ashen when he saw this. Qin Wentian could actually seal his attacks and turn it against his people? This was simply too overbearing.


    Was that something just from the spacetime dao? It was impossible. There was also the dao of sealing integrated into it.


    “From today onwards, the Thunder n shall no longer exist.” Qin Wentian coldly dered. The entire stretch of independent spacetime was hurled downwards to the Thunder n. In an instant, an immensely powerful explosion urred. The divine thunder formation cracked apart and was broken. The experts of the Thunder n were now all fully revealed to the army of deities around Qin Wentian.


    The Vast Sky Divine Hammer flew back to the Thunder n Leader’s hands but his expression was ashen as a sense of loss filled his heart. He knew that there was no chance left. Qin Wentian actually broke the defensive divine thunder formation of his n with brute force!
