Brahma Heavenly Emperor

Brahma Heavenly Emperor . . .

Qin Wentian and his comrades now held dominion over the once-mighty Xiao Sect's headquarters, along with the spoils of their victory - the interspatial rings of those who dared to challenge them. They had ruthlessly vanquished dozens of geniuses who had obstructed their path, asserting their dominance with unyielding force.

Following the battle, Qin Wentian sought solitude in the courtyard that once belonged to him. There, he settled into a cross-legged position, drawing in astral energy and transmuting it into divine power. The defeat of Greedwolf and his cohorts was a trivial matter in the grand scheme. The recent formation of the Twin Stars Alliance had dramatically altered the power dynamic in the City of Ancient Emperors. With the #4 and #6 ranked Immortal Ascension warriors leading the alliance, alongside numerous other high-ranking talents, the group was a formidable force. Facing such opposition with only five members was an impossible task.

Jun Mengchen, while injured, had escaped severe harm. As Qin Wentian immersed himself in cultivation, Jun Mengchen took it upon himself to alter the engravings surrounding their property, changing 'Xiao' to 'Qin' and officially declaring it as the headquarters of the Qin Sect. This audacious move left onlookers outside dumbfounded. How could they dare establish their base here after just forming a new power? The Twin Stars Alliance would undoubtedly retaliate, and it was only a matter of time before they descended upon the Qin Sect.

As a result, the spectators lingered, with even more individuals gathering around. They understood that a colossal clash between the Qin Sect and the Twin Stars Alliance was inevitable.

Many who had missed the legendary battle between Qin Wentian and Xuan Xing regretted not witnessing the God's Hand firsthand. With Qin Wentian's return, the resurgence of the God's Hand was confirmed. Missing this opportunity was unthinkable.

The vicinity of the Qin Sect headquarters buzzed with activity. Countless geniuses and even those ranked on the Immortal Ascension Rankings assembled.

"Is she...?" All eyes converged on a dignified and aloof female figure that commanded attention effortlessly. She stood in silence, her presence magnetic, drawing the gaze of all present.

"It's Nanfeng Yunxi. How intriguing. The forthcoming battle already involves those ranked #4, #5, and #6, and now, the #3-ranked Nanfeng Yunxi has joined the fray. If Xiao Lengyue appears, all three supreme beauties of the City of Ancient Emperors will be gathered here," someone murmured discreetly.

After the day Qin Wentian, Xuan Xing, and Xiao Lengyue emerged from the Ancient Emperor Yi's palace, Nanfeng Yunxi had made a visit to study the cryptic blood runes. Yet, they were beyond her comprehension, and the words of the chant had faded from her memory. Later, rumors reached her ears, claiming that a newcomer had not only grasped but mastered the true God's Hand. Her curiosity had been piqued, and she came to witness it for herself. How could a secret art that she couldn't decipher be wielded by a mere seventh-level ascendant?

Thus, with Qin Wentian's reappearance, she had made her way here, eager to witness the strength of the long-lost secret art of the Ancient Emperor.

"With the resurgence of the God's Hand, a tempest has arisen in the City of Ancient Emperors, heralding a clash among the top ten powerhouses. The central figure of this saga is none other than Qin Wentian. Now, with the latest rumors circulating throughout the city, I'm sure another storm of chaos is about to unfold," an expert among the crowd whispered, prompting those around him to inquire, "What news do you speak of?"

"You mean to tell us there's news that can surpass the return of the God's Hand?" someone asked incredulously, their eyes filled with fiery anticipation.

The air hummed with anticipation as an impassioned expert addressed the crowd, revealing a tantalizing piece of news that had the potential to reshape their destinies.

"This information has already spread among a select few, and its ripples are extending far and wide. I have no doubt that before long, every corner of the City of Ancient Emperors will be abuzz with it. Listen closely, my friends: the forbidden realm, the Underworld Mountains, is rumored to conceal an inheritance left behind by an ancient emperor!" The expert's voice quivered with excitement, injecting a palpable thrill into the atmosphere.

However, the crowd's initial excitement quickly deflated, replaced by a collective sense of underwhelm. A skeptic among them shook his head, voicing the prevailing sentiment. "We've heard such speculations for ages. Is there anything genuinely groundbreaking about this revelation?"

The expert shot back with a scornful snort, dismissing their doubts. "You naysayers have no inkling of the truth! This time... it's different."

Intrigued, the assembled crowd turned their focus back to the fervent speaker, their curiosity rekindled. "Do you know which ancient emperor's legacy lies within the Underworld Mountains?" he asked, and the air grew taut with anticipation.

"Who?" The question rippled through the onlookers, freezing expressions of doubt into rapt attention.

"The Brahma Heavenly Emperor!" The words fell like a sledgehammer, resonating through the crowd with a seismic force that sent shivers down spines.

"Is this credible?" A voice quivered, its owner struggling to mask the awe in their tone.

The name Brahma Heavenly Emperor held tremendous weight in their world. Some hailed him as an immortal emperor, while others painted him as a devil emperor or even a demon emperor. Countless myths and legends swirled around his enigmatic identity, with the most enduring rumor suggesting he originally possessed the form of a demonic beast. Yet, conclusive proof had always eluded them, casting the emperor's origins in an impenetrable veil of mystery.

The Brahma Heavenly Emperor's might rivaled that of the realm's conquerors, despite never achieving unified dominion. In his prime, he had orchestrated the rapid downfall of numerous formidable immortal emperors, seamlessly incorporating their powers into his own. His mastery over these stolen abilities far surpassed their previous owners.

The shadow he cast loomed so menacingly that the majority of immortal emperors cowered before him, uniting in a relentless pursuit to exterminate him. Ultimately, eight peak-tier immortal emperors cornered the Brahma Heavenly Emperor on Unaging Peak, igniting a cataclysmic battle that reverberated through the heavens and the earth.

In that climactic clash, all eight peak-tier Immortal Emperors perished. Not one survived.

The Brahma Heavenly Emperor vanished without a trace, leaving the immortal realms perplexed and agog. No one knew of his whereabouts or the circumstances of his departure. The once-unrivaled ancient emperor had faded into legend, taking with him his earth-shaking secret art, the Great Brahma Art.

The specifics of the Great Brahma Art remained shrouded in secrecy. It was known only for its uncanny ability to absorb and manipulate the energies of various secret arts, surpassing their original potency. While each secret art was distinct in its energy attributes, the Brahma Heavenly Emperor wielded this stolen power with frightening proficiency, harnessing it to devastating effect. The art's mystique lay in its utter uniqueness, a hidden technique unrecorded in history.

With his disappearance, the Great Brahma Art slipped into the annals of time, lost to posterity.

Now, in the City of Ancient Emperors, someone boldly claimed that the Underworld Mountains housed the legacy of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. This revelation sent shockwaves through the hearts of all present, stoking an irresistible fire of curiosity and ambition within every aspiring genius.

The revelation hung in the air like a tantalizing promise—the Underworld Mountains, a forbidden realm, purportedly concealed the legacy of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. To the gathered throng of aspirants, the allure was irresistible; an inheritance from such an ancient emperor could change their destinies, no matter the risks involved.

"Of course it's true, and there's no need to keep it a secret. Why else would I share it with you all instead of venturing alone?" declared the expert with a hint of pride. His voice faded as an ethereal figure materialized before him, and he found himself struck dumb by the stunning visage that met his eyes.

"Nanfeng Yunxi..." he mumbled, awestruck by her presence. The woman before him was indeed the illustrious Nanfeng Yunxi.

"Where did you come across this information? Is it genuinely believed that the Underworld Mountains house the Brahma Heavenly Emperor's legacy?" Nanfeng Yunxi inquired, her curiosity impossible to hide. It seemed that the allure of an inheritance from an ancient emperor was potent enough to captivate even the most unyielding souls.

Throughout the immeasurable epochs of existence in the immortal realms, only a handful of ancient emperors had left indelible marks. The mere mention of their names could send tremors through the hearts of mortals and immortals alike. Among these enigmatic figures, the Brahma Heavenly Emperor stood as a legend, powerful and mysterious.

"I cannot trace the exact origin of this rumor. Nevertheless, it has swiftly permeated the City of Ancient Emperors. My suspicion is that someone deliberately leaked the information, and as for its veracity, no one can confirm without firsthand evidence. The Underworld Mountains are an enigmatic forbidden ground I've never dared to explore. Until we lay eyes on the ancient ruins and the legacy itself, the truth remains uncertain," he replied, causing Nanfeng Yunxi's beguiling eyes to shimmer with intrigue.

It was evident that she needed to ascertain the authenticity of this tantalizing rumor.

With a graceful flicker, Nanfeng Yunxi returned to her original spot, leaving behind a lingering trace of disappointment in the heart of the expert who had spoken to her. He inhaled deeply, savoring the subtle fragrance that lingered, relishing the intoxicating sensation of being in such close proximity to a supreme beauty like Nanfeng Yunxi.

Word of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor's rumored legacy swiftly coursed through the crowd, igniting a frenzy of anticipation. Alliance formations sprang up as ambitious geniuses vowed to venture into the Underworld Mountains, unwilling to let this potential opportunity pass.

After a time, a formidable aura swept through the vicinity, capturing the attention of all present. Their gazes converged on a massive procession of over a hundred experts led by two figures who radiated an innate grandeur. They were Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue, the leaders of the newly formed Twin Stars Alliance.

Upon surveying the scene, Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue couldn't conceal their shock. The Xiao Sect's headquarters had been symbolically transformed into the Qin Sect's domain, and their comrades lay defeated and wounded, some unconscious and others grievously hurt. Their complexions paled, and after a moment's contemplation, they issued a command, "Retrieve our injured companions and tend to their wounds."

The Twin Stars Alliance had been publicly humiliated by the Qin Sect, and the sight of their comrades lying battered outside their former headquarters was a painful reminder of their defeat.

"GET THE HECK OUT!" Xuan Yang's furious bellow rent the skies, reverberating like an unleashed tempest as he streaked towards the Qin Sect with unbridled anger radiating from every pore.

"Qin Wentian," came the chilling utterance from the lovely Xiao Lengyue, her voice a harbinger of deadly intent. She carried the stigma of near-death at the hands of Qing'er during their previous encounter, narrowly saved by her father's immortal sense. It was a humiliation she couldn't forget, one that tarnished her standing and prestige within the City of Ancient Emperors. Now, with a mere five individuals on his team, Qin Wentian had audaciously obliterated her Xiao Sect, inflicting harm upon her sect members and flinging them aside like refuse.

Within the once-proud bastion of the Xiao Sect, Qin Wentian stood suspended in the air, a commanding figure. Beside him stood Qing'er, radiant as a snow-white lotus, her beauty unrivaled.

Many among the onlooking crowd cast their admiring glances at Qing'er before shifting their gaze to Xiao Lengyue and Nanfeng Yunxi. These three women, the supreme beauties of the City of Ancient Emperors, were now united in this moment, each possessing a unique allure that captivated hearts.

As for Nanfeng Yunxi, her gaze settled upon Qin Wentian and Qing'er. There was a flicker of recognition in her eyes, a memory from their brief encounter before he ventured into the underground palace. Back then, he had been an inconsequential presence in her eyes, a member of Xiao Lengyue's sect. Little did she anticipate that he would swiftly rise to wield the awe-inspiring power of the God's Hand. In such a short span, he had transformed from a mere follower to a central figure in a tempestuous whirlwind of events, making waves that surged through the City of Ancient Emperors.
