Killing Celestial Phenomenon

Killing Celestial Phenomenon . . .

In the realm of Celestial Phenomenon, ascendants embarked on a transformative journey that began with the profound comprehension of their Mandates. They channeled these newfound insights to re-infuse their astral novas back into their astral souls, triggering an evolutionary process. During this metamorphosis, the true intents they had grasped were seamlessly integrated. Only then, as the culmination of this profound process, could they manifest a celestial phenomenon—a constellation.

The significance of this transformation lay in the fact that Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants' constellations encapsulated not only the characteristics of their astral souls but also the true intents they had harnessed. For those Ascendants gifted with unique astral souls and an exceptional understanding of their true intents, their constellations could effortlessly sweep aside adversaries, leaving no room for resistance.

These constellations spanned a diverse spectrum, encompassing attack-focused, defensive-oriented, and control-based varieties. Ouyang Mutian, for example, possessed an attack-type constellation infused with the true intent of lightning. Yet, despite the formidable power behind his constellation's direct assaults, it proved ineffectual against Qin Wentian's impervious defense.

Qin Wentian was intimately acquainted with the combat prowess of the dormant immortals, and he understood that if they were Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants, they would not need to engage directly in battle. The mere release of their constellations would suffice to establish their dominance.

Nonetheless, Qin Wentian's perception of Ouyang Mutian's constellation as pathetically weak stemmed from his wide-ranging experiences. Grand Xia was often regarded as a desolate land by experts from the Royal Sacred Region. Even those who ascended to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm could rise to prominence as leaders of transcendent powers. Yet, after hundreds or even thousands of years, further progress remained elusive. Merely achieving Celestial Phenomenon was considered an extraordinary accomplishment. Expecting these Ascendants to wield multiple diverse or exceptionally powerful constellations was unrealistic. Such individuals had long departed Grand Xia in search of more promising prospects.

Ouyang Mutian's constellation, characterized by the true intent of lightning, was one of the simpler variations—an attack-oriented configuration. Despite its considerable offensive might, it failed to breach Qin Wentian's formidable defenses. Qin Wentian's physical constitution, honed through the Fiend Transformation Art, resembled that of a demonic beast. Combined with his potent bloodline and the refinement of his body using the Sky Demon Oracle Bone's bone powder, his defense was incomprehensibly resilient.

Furthermore, when confronted with Ouyang Mutian's attacks, Qin Wentian's body shimmered with astral energy and was fortified by his Illusory Demonforce. Ouyang Mutian's hope that his constellation's attacks would harm Qin Wentian was nothing more than a fleeting dream.

The astounding scene they witnessed sent shockwaves rippling through the crowd. Could it be possible that an expert at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Dipper realm could confront a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant in such a defiant manner? This revelation shattered the preconceived notions of onlookers, leading them to question whether Qin Wentian had already reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Was he attempting to single-handedly dominate all Ascendants from transcendent powers through sheer strength?

Among the attendees at the wedding were representatives from various transcendent powers in Grand Xia. The Wang Clan from the War Continent, Star-Seizing Manor from the Moon Continent, and Azure Emperor Palace from the Azure Continent all experienced a chill coursing through their hearts.

As for the experts from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, they appeared momentarily entranced, their attention fixated on the ongoing aerial battle. In their stunned state, they momentarily forgot that they were meant to engage the forces accompanying Qin Wentian. Their incredulous gazes remained riveted to the unfolding spectacle in the sky. They understood that the outcome of this conflict would not be determined by their skirmish but by the result of the three separate aerial battles in progress.

Initially, they had believed they held the advantage, with five Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants pitted against four. However, a few choice words from Qin Wentian had completely altered the course of events. Employing a strategy of two versus one to immobilize their Ascendants and enhance their chances of victory, Qin Wentian had upended the balance of power. Even so, they retained hope that Ouyang Mutian could quickly vanquish Qin Wentian and come to the aid of his fellow Ascendants. However, Qin Wentian's indomitable strength had left them trembling with fear.

Did the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan still maintain an advantage? Their last vestige of hope rested on Ouyang Mutian's shoulders, and they prayed he possessed the strength to eliminate Qin Wentian. Ouyang Mutian's countenance turned ashen as he extended both arms, channeling electricity to augment the power of his constellation.

"DIE!" Ouyang Mutian's voice boomed with icy determination, resonating across the battleground. The lightning sword beams, infused with even greater strength and magnificence, descended once again, their luminous trails cutting through the tension-laden atmosphere.

A blaze of radiant particles enveloped Qin Wentian's form, an awe-inspiring testament to his mastery. He had unlocked the secrets of four distinct true intents and seamlessly fused them. There was no disadvantage to his confrontation with Ouyang Mutian.

The relentless onslaught of lightning sword beams continued their descent, relentlessly homing in on Qin Wentian. Shockwaves rippled through the air, their titanic collisions echoing in the hearts of onlookers. Yet, Qin Wentian remained steadfast, using this fierce onslaught as a crucible to test the limits of his newfound peak Heavenly Dipper strength.

With a dispassionate tone, Qin Wentian observed, "How weak." His eyes locked onto Ouyang Mutian's, their gazes intertwining in an unspoken challenge. "I could overlook the treacherous betrayal of our alliance by your Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and extend an olive branch today. Regrettably, you've spurned that kindness. If you're so confident in your absolute strength, I, Qin Wentian, will demonstrate what true might means."

His voice resonated through the battleground as he dashed forward.

Ouyang Mutian's complexion soured, and his will converged upon his constellation. It shrank in size, condensing into a Celestial Phenomena looming behind him. An immense surge of energy coursed through him as he channeled the lightning within his palms, solidifying it into a corporeal, purple-hued lightning sword. With unmatched ferocity, he thrust it toward Qin Wentian, eager to witness the extent of the peak Heavenly Dipper expert's power.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Wentian materialized before him, and Ouyang Mutian beheld the scarlet demon halberd's approach. It unleashed a surreal dreamscape within the battlefield, tugging at Ouyang Mutian's consciousness. In this ethereal realm, each of Qin Wentian's halberd strikes seemed capable of rending the very heavens. The weapon flickered in and out of existence, emanating an even more menacing destructive force that left Ouyang Mutian's nerves on edge.

"KILL!" Ouyang Mutian bellowed in fury, compelled to face Qin Wentian head-on.

Their clash sent shockwaves through the battlefield as reality blurred around them. The divine weapon in Qin Wentian's grasp, a fifth-ranked halberd infused with dreamforce, dragged Ouyang Mutian into a nightmarish dreamscape.

"ARGHH!" Ouyang Mutian's agonized roar resounded as he became a living Lightning Divinity, his entire being cloaked in crackling electricity. Thunderbolts relentlessly descended from the heavens, striking the earth with explosive might. Spectators retreated in haste, their eyes wide with terror as they watched the earth fracture under the relentless barrage.

Despite the awe-inspiring onslaught, Ouyang Mutian failed to halt the advance of the scarlet demon halberd. Lightning and thunder, though fearsome, were pushed back by the relentless force of Qin Wentian's weapon. The spectators bore witness to the scarlet demon halberd's overwhelming power as it collided with Ouyang Mutian, drowning him in crushing, annihilating might. In that harrowing moment, Ouyang Mutian tasted despair—a brush with the reaper, as destructive forces threatened to crush him from within.

In this climactic moment, despair etched across Ouyang Mutian's face, its starkness magnified by the eerie glow emanating from his lightning-infused form. It was a terrifying sight to behold.

"It seems I've overestimated you," were the final words that pierced Ouyang Mutian's ears. As the voice faded, his body underwent a cataclysmic implosion, dissolving into the ether and vanishing completely, as if he had never existed.

The crowd, including the two Jiang Clan ascendants, watched in stunned silence. The young man who had returned with such swagger had just defeated the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan in the most audaciously dominant fashion. At the pinnacle of the Heavenly Dipper realm, his incomparable combat prowess had vanquished Ouyang Mutian, a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant.

And it seemed this wasn't even Qin Wentian's strongest form. His remark about overestimating Ouyang Mutian hinted that he considered Ouyang Mutian beneath his level. So, how formidable could Qin Wentian truly become at his peak?

As the dust settled, bewildered and astonished hearts across the audience swirled with questions. How potent was Qin Wentian, really?

The Ouyang Aristocrat Clan's elite wore expressions akin to the color of ash. Today, their marriage alliance with the Jiang Clan was to herald their dominance over Grand Xia. Their spirits had been high, their confidence unshakeable. Little did they envision that before the ceremony could even commence, their grand dreams would shatter like fragile bubbles, ushering in the apocalypse of their clan.

The remaining two Ouyang Aristocrat Clan ascendants continued their desperate battles. Upon learning of Ouyang Mutian's demise, their hearts trembled, the specter of despair looming ever larger. The offer of hope extended by Qin Wentian now appeared as a missed lifeline, rejected in a moment of arrogance and hubris.

Despair began to gnaw at their hearts.

Meanwhile, the old Matriarch and Old Xing relentlessly pressed an ascending Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. With the old Matriarch's years of experience in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and Old Xing's unwavering support, the duo overwhelmed their foe. After a brief glance in their direction, Qin Wentian dashed toward the fray involving Fairy Qingmei, the Mystic Moon Hall's sect leader, and the Ouyang Ancestor.

"Why, Qin Wentian, must you be so ruthless?" the Ouyang Ancestor gasped, his countenance paling.

"Ruthless?" Qin Wentian retorted with a sardonic smile. "You betrayed our alliance in the past, and today, you forced my brother's fiancée to marry Ouyang Zicheng while imprisoning Ouyang Kuangsheng. If I hadn't intervened, would you have gone so far as to eliminate my brother and all future threats?" His words elicited gasps of astonishment from the onlookers. On the other side of the battlefield, Old Xing, wielding a punishment staff, shattered the head of the newly ascended Ouyang Aristocrat Clan Ascendant. Both he and the old Matriarch were now heading toward the central clash.

In the present moment, the battle had taken a stark turn. It was no longer a confrontation of two against one; rather, it had evolved into an astonishing five against one scenario.

The notion of witnessing two ascendants meet their demise sent a chilling realization rippling through the collective consciousness of those gathered. For the experts of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, a pallor of dread settled on their faces. Their eyes remained fixed on the airborne clash, but inevitably, they turned to regard Ouyang Kuangsheng.

It was his presence that had unleashed Qin Wentian's wrath upon them. Regret now gripped them with an iron grip, an inescapable truth. Had their clan's patriarch not subjected Ouyang Kuangsheng to such harsh treatment and arranged this ill-fated marriage between Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting, perhaps Qin Wentian would be celebrating their union instead. What a harmonious outcome that would have been! Ouyang Kuangsheng, a once-promising scion of their Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, had found himself at odds with the clan's patriarch due to internal strife and discontent.

"Kuangsheng, I implore you to reason with Qin Wentian...to persuade him to halt this madness. We deeply regret our actions," one of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan's experts beseeched Ouyang Kuangsheng.

Upon hearing these pleas, Ouyang Kuangsheng's emotions roiled like a tempestuous sea. He clenched his fists tightly and fixed his gaze upon the silhouettes in the sky. Today, were it not for the audacious arrival of his brother, Qin Wentian, would his clan members even entertain the notion of seeking peace? In all likelihood, he would have been forced to witness Jiang Ting's coerced marriage, powerless to prevent it. As Qin Wentian had asserted, the Ouyang Ancestor might have gone so far as to eliminate him to eliminate any potential future threats.

And now, the experts of his clan dared to suggest that he persuade Qin Wentian to desist? Was such a proposition even conceivable under the circumstances?
