Chapter 975: Battle of the Supreme

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Countless geniuses were gathering within the City of Ancient Emperors, seemingly formed into a powerful current as they collectively flowed in the same direction. In fact, for the purpose of hurrying over, they’d even taken out immortal-ranked treasures to increase their speed, and they shot through the sky like bolts of lightning.

Currently, at the place where the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect’s experts were located, over three hundred geniuses had already formed a total of four battle formations. Their eyes turned to the horizon, and they saw a black swath of experts flying over. They halted when they were finally in the sky above them, and they looked as dazzling as the piercing rays that cascaded down from the sun.

Naturally, the man in the lead was none other than Qin Wentian.

Standing beside Qin Wentian, the two pillars of support, the powerful Nanfeng Yunxi and Qing`er, could be seen. Other than them, Hua Taixu, Jun Mengchen, and Zi Qingxuan were all there as well. There were also two immensely powerful demonic beasts on the left and right, protecting Qin Wentian. One was a majestic and gigantic desolate beast; its body was golden and had eyes that radiated an intense balefulness. The other was a body covered in boundless flames. That was none other than a divine avian beast, the vermillion bird. This seemed to be of the purgatory variant and the flames crackling around it caused everyone who stared at it to feel their heart shuddering.

The experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect were gradually feeling more nervous. Their expressions were heavy as they stared ahead. Everyone standing at the lead of their enemies was giving them immense pressure—they were all supreme geniuses. Each of them had undergone the baptism, and were many times stronger compared to the past.

Finally, the people from the two powers faced each other in opposition. The experts from the Qin Sect stopped behind their leader. Qin Wentian coldly swept his gaze over the people of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and icily stated, "The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s personal disciple was trash. That is why he was obliterated by me. To think that he would actually send an entire army unit to come after me. A group of more than three hundred geniuses were sent here, all of which are most likely the top-tier talents from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, right? Tell me, how do you think the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would react if all of you were to die here?"

"Qin Wentian, you borrowed the power of other geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors to war against us. Do you even know shame?" One of the four leaders of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect stared at Qin Wentian coldly.

"What a joke." Qin Wentian stepped out, pointing to the four in the lead. "The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect led more than three hundred experts into the City of Ancient Emperors just to kill me? This is something unprecedented in the history of the City of Ancient Emperors, and now you even have the face to talk about shame? How about this, the four of you step out now and I will fight against you four alone. Do you dare face me?"

The expressions of the four in the lead turned stiff. Their eyes flickered with coldness. Qin Wentian was actually challenging them all in public.

"Hmph." A person coldly snorted, but he didn’t accept the challenge. Qin Wentian was one of the few ranked at the top of the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Now that he had undergone the baptism, he could only be stronger. Even if the four of them joined hands, they had no confidence that they would be able to defeat Qin Wentian.

"You won’t even dare to fight. This is the true face of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect!" Jun Mengchen spat in contempt.

"What? The Qin Sect is planning to use their numbers to bully others?" From afar, a voice thundered out, filled with cold arrogance. A group of experts was currently rushing over—they were all experts from the Violet Sect. Naturally, the man in the lead was none other than the one ranked first in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, Zi Daoyang.

Zi Daoyang currently had two portions of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance. His aura grew even colder as an intense sense of danger exuded from him.

"Zi Daoyang." Qin Wentian stared at his opponent, his eyes gleaming with sharpness. "The Violet Sect wants to ally with the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect?"

"That would have to depend on how your Qin Sect acts." Zi Daoyang laughed coldly.

"Zi Daoyang, as I said before, after I settle matters with the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, I will challenge you alone. The experts of my Qin Sect can bear witness. I believe that the experts of your Violet Sect aren’t willing to fight a life-death battle with the people of my Qin Sect. And you, as the sect leader, if you don’t even have the courage to accept my challenge, won’t your members look stupid dying for you? It isn’t worth it at all." Qin Wentian’s eyes shone with a sharp light.

"When I made my name, you, Qin Wentian, were still an unknown worm crawling about in some random location. And you’re assuming I won’t dare to accept your challenge?" Zi Daoyang arrogantly responded.

"Since that’s the case, just stay by the side and observe for now. Otherwise, if you, Zi Daoyang, truly wish to fight, I don’t mind fighting you first." Qin Wentian’s tone was filled with an intense provocation.

"You think you’re so strong? Daoyang gege is ranked first in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, how can he be someone you could ever win against? You don’t even have the qualifications to challenge Daoyang gege." Xiao Lengyue, who stood beside Zi Daoyang, also spoke up.

"Shut your mouth," Qing`er coldly stated, turning to look at Xiao Lengyue. The ice in her eyes seemed to penetrate right through Xiao Lengyue.

"You..." Xiao Lengyue’s countenance turned cold, staring at Qing`er. In the past, she had been defeated by Qing`er. In front of a victor, she truly had no qualifications to talk about the word ’qualifications.’

"Xiao Lengyue, you haven’t discarded enough face yet?" Jun Mengchen mocked. Xiao Lengyue’s countenance was now like frost, and even her aura turned chilly.

"Zi Daoyang, since these people want to fight so badly, let’s remind them how to act like humans," said an expert from the Violet Sect. action

"That’s right. They’re too arrogant. This is a battle that will settle things once and for all, so you should suppress their leader immediately. The Qin Sect will naturally disintegrate after that," suggested another expert.

Zi Daoyang stared at Qin Wentian as he slowly spoke, "Since you put it that way, I shall comply with your wish. I shall wait for you to settle your grudge with the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect."

Qin Wentian shifted his gaze away from Zi Daoyang. With a wave of his hand, the experts of the Qin Sect instantly surrounded the experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Qin Wentian then coldly commanded, "If any one of them takes out an immortal weapon, we will respond in kind and make this a battle with immortal-ranked weapons."

"Formation!" shouted the leaders of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. This time, they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. If they fought using immortal weapons, they would suffer without a doubt. In that case, they might as well battle without them. They still might have a chance to win if they depended on the power of their battle formations.

Two out of the four battle formations led the way. They were none other than the primordial devil ape and giant cauldron formation. Instantly, the might they exuded towered up into the sky. Originally, they had another battle formation held back in reserve but today, they no longer possessed the advantage. Hence, the other two groups chose to split into smaller teams of nine people each, which enabled them to react to the changes in the battlefield at any given moment.

"Mengchen, Taixu, Qingxuan, and Purgatory. You guys go and destroy those small teams of nine. Qing`er and I will take care of the devil ape battle formation. Nanfeng and Little Rascal will be in charge of breaking the giant cauldron battle formation," said Qin Wentian, issuing his commands. A moment later, they all divided themselves into the groups instructed by Qin Wentian, as experts of the Qin Sect followed from behind. Qin Wentian then commanded, "Brothers of the Qin Sect, distribute yourselves well according to the circumstances and cooperate with any side that has an advantage to crush our opponents. First, we break their formation, and then we kill them."

Qin Wentian wasn’t going to initiate a battle with immortal-ranked weapons. Although they would have the advantage if they did so, he wouldn’t sacrifice the people who had chosen to join his Qin Sect. Once immortal weapons were involved, the battle could no longer be controlled, and life and death would be decided in an instant. Nobody could guarantee that they’d survive this. Hence, he would rather choose not to involve immortal weapons.

Even if his enemies could form battle formations, they still had an advantage in terms of numbers. And even if they fought one-on-one, the Qin Sect’s members were evidently stronger than those of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.

All of a sudden, terrifying black clouds appeared in the sky as a surge of stifling pressure descended. The clouds had a faint feeling of tribulation force within, blotting out the entire sky. The geniuses spectating from afar froze at the scene. What was going on? The law energy of the City of Ancient Emperors had descended—did it wish to spectate the battle as well?

"Fight them in close combat, break their formation." Qin Wentian and Qing`er rushed towards the primordial devil ape battle formation. Wings could be seen on their backs as a hundred experts from the Qin Sect followed closely from behind. To break the two battle formations, they would still require the aid of a sizable number of experts.

"ROAR!" The devil ape materialized, causing the color of the sky to change. An earth-shattering roar rang out as its giant palm smashed down towards the rushing experts.

Qing`er radiated boundless spatial light, releasing spatial law energy as the Immortal Slaying Diagram was unleashed. It transformed into a gigantic picture that seemed akin to a vortex. As it shot towards the giant palm, it immediately enveloped it, swallowing the power of the ape’s strike into the void. A thunderous boom rang out as both the palm and diagram were destroyed by the impact.

Whether they were experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect or the Qin Sect, they were all extremely stunned by what they just saw as great waves rocked their hearts. With just her strength, Qing`er had neutralized a supremely strong attack issued by a powerful battle formation.

"How powerful. Princess Qing`er’s Immortal Slaying Diagram has become much stronger than before. Their group must have truly run into some miraculous encounters and evolved their strength," mumbled the spectators from afar. It could be said that the power of that strike was unrivaled in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it was simply too powerful.

Since the ape’s palm attack had been neutralized, the experts of the Qin Sect could advance closer to the battle formation. Despite the formation’s immense power, they were prevented from unleashing their attacks because Qing`er was neutralizing everything they threw out, which created an opportunity for the Qin Sect.

The devil ape then let out a thunderous howl. Stomping its foot down, the earth quaked and the air trembled. The might of its stomp was so powerful that it felt it could even crush the heavens and earth.

Qin Wentian materialized a long spear with the God’s Hand. His body expanded to 100 meters, matching that of the devil ape as his spear erupted forth, shimmering with boundless runic light. A wave of destruction frenziedly gushed out, infused by the power of his bloodline.

—bzz!— Qin Wentian’s spear strike could startle even the heavens. It collided into the foot of the ape with a force that could devastate everything. The indomitable force tunneled its way through, and caused the devil ape’s leg to explode.

The strike earlier executed by Qing`er, and the strike currently executed by Qin Wentian; both of them could depend on their own strength, that of a single individual, to fight against the might generated by a battle formation. Their strength was simply terrifying.

In the short moments that the battle started, the spectating geniuses were already completely in a daze. Their hearts pounded and they felt their souls stir. This was truly a battle of the supreme experts who were at the peak.

These two attacks were already enough for the members of the Qin Sect to draw close. Numerous rays of resplendent light shot forward as they launched their killing techniques, aiming for the experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect in the battle formation. They wanted to cause panic, to disrupt their control and break it. Undoubtedly, this was the best way to neutralize the battle formation. As long as it flustered the experts within it, the battle formation would naturally disintegrate on its own!
