Irresistible Force . . .
As the mighty battle between Qin Wentian and Qing'er raged on, the rest of the battlefield descended into sheer chaos. An electric atmosphere crackled with frenzied clashes and fervent combat. It was as if the very air itself resonated with the intensity of the struggle.
In a remarkable display of synergy, Nanfeng Yunxi and her loyal companion, Little Rascal, unleashed a devastating combination of power. Nanfeng Yunxi, shrouded in brilliant phoenix flames, extended a pointed finger, summoning forth the ethereal cry of an ancient phoenix. Her flames blazed with an ever-increasing ferocity, laying waste to all that stood before her. Beside her, Little Rascal, a majestic and seemingly indestructible creature, resembled a being forged from pure gold. Every blow it delivered possessed the potential to shatter the very heavens. Together, they effortlessly shattered the imposing ancient cauldron conjured by the enemy's battle formation. Their actions served as a rallying point for other Qin Sect experts who eagerly joined the fray, contributing to the maelstrom of chaos.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, Jun Mengchen, Hua Taixu, and Zi Qingxuan each led a formidable contingent of experts, systematically dismantling the enemy's smaller teams of nine. It was a relentless assault where every punch, every movement, was executed with breathtaking might and precision. These skirmishes against the smaller groups were a stark contrast to the unity and synergy of the Qin Sect, leaving the enemy in disarray.
Jun Mengchen's martial prowess, enhanced by the formidable Clear Sky Worldly Diagram, was a sight to behold. Each of his punches carried an overwhelming force, enhanced further by layers of emperor-king armor. With the support of fellow Qin Sect members, defeating the smaller teams of nine seemed almost effortless. He struck with such force that several teams crumbled before they could even unleash their most potent techniques.
Hua Taixu, too, wielded a terrifying presence. Following his baptism in the Sacred Luminance, his samsara eyes had undergone a profound transformation. Gazing into his eyes was like gazing into the abyss of the samsara world itself, and the very fabric of the heavens and earth seemed to lose color. Those who faced him found themselves ensnared in an otherworldly samsara, their teamwork shattered and unity unraveling.
The members of the Qin Sect, closely following their formidable leaders, employed raw strength as their ultimate weapon. Witnessing their leaders' unprecedented power left them awestruck and inspired. Jun Mengchen, Hua Taixu, and the others appeared to have undergone a miraculous transformation within the confines of the City of Ancient Emperors. Their strength had evolved to a level that defied explanation, and their ascent to the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon only added to their mystique.
Across the battlefield, Zi Qingxuan and Purgatory embarked on a relentless rampage. Their attacks were brutal and unyielding, carving a path of destruction through the enemy ranks. The sheer ferocity of their assault left no doubt that they, too, had undergone a transformation, pushing the boundaries of their power to new heights.
The momentum of the Qin Sect, bolstered by these extraordinary leaders, was undeniable. Their unity and unparalleled strength made it clear that they had encountered something truly extraordinary within the ancient city, setting them on a path to becoming titans among martial practitioners.
The battlefield crackled with energy as the might of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect collided with the unstoppable force of the Qin Sect's rising stars. It was a clash of titans, a spectacle that left spectators in awe and disbelief.
The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, while undoubtedly formidable, found themselves outmatched by the likes of Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan, and their comrades. These individuals, handpicked through the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect's rigorous recruitment test, had not only earned their place in the top ten but had also been baptized by the Sacred Luminance. Their strength had ascended to unfathomable levels, making them a force to be reckoned with.
As the battle raged on, the watching geniuses couldn't help but shudder at the overwhelming combat prowess displayed by the Qin Sect. It was a breathtaking sight, a testament to the boundless potential of these exceptional talents. The once-unquestioned pillars of the Qin Sect, Qin Wentian, Qing'er, and Nanfeng Yunxi, were now joined by these new stars, Jun Mengchen, Hua Taixu, and Zi Qingxuan. Together, they formed an unstoppable constellation of power, akin to deities descending from the heavens, unmatched in their realm.
The verdict seemed clear to the spectators—the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect was destined for defeat. Even their formidable battle formations appeared feeble in the face of such overwhelming might. It was a battle they couldn't hope to win, no matter how hard they fought.
Xiao Lengyue, once a prominent figure within the Immortal Ascension Rankings, felt a cold shiver down her spine as she witnessed the strength of Jun Mengchen and the others. She had once stood among the elite, but now she saw that these rising stars could stand toe-to-toe with her. However, she understood that surface appearances could be deceptive, and the true measure of their power could only be known through personal combat.
Recalling the past when Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen, and Zi Qingxuan had joined her Xiao Sect, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. These individuals, initially insignificant at the seventh level of Celestial Phenomenon, had undergone a transformation within the City of Ancient Emperors. Their rapid ascent in strength left her with an uncomfortable feeling, as if the world had shifted beneath her feet.
Zi Daoyang, once the unchallenged number one, closely observed the rising stars of the Qin Sect. Their newfound strength couldn't be ignored, and he pondered the miraculous encounters they must have had within the Antiquity City. The mere mention of this enigmatic place, the Antiquity City, stirred a fierce determination within him.
Why hadn't he ventured into the Antiquity City sooner? What incredible opportunities had Qin Wentian and his companions seized? Zi Daoyang couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes glittering with a sharp resolve. He understood that his path to becoming number one required him to overcome all challenges, including those posed by the transformed warriors of the Qin Sect, and even his rival, Mo Xie.
Zi Daoyang's eyes gleamed with ambition as he contemplated his path to power. His burning desire was to master the complete inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor, a feat that would grant him unparalleled control over energy from all attributes. The thought filled him with an intense hope, a driving force behind his every action. Right now, his sole focus was on achieving this goal by completing all nine portions of the inheritance.
Amidst this determination, a resounding BOOM shattered the battlefield's tension. It was a wave of devastating might, originating from the activation of immortal sense by one of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect's geniuses. However, before the immortal sense of an immortal king could fully manifest, an overwhelming surge of law energy obliterated it.
A hush fell over the battling experts as they witnessed this astonishing display. It was evident that the law energy of the City of Ancient Emperors had taken a personal interest in this confrontation, ensuring that the immortal sense of kings and emperors would not interfere. The city's protector, the enigmatic black dragon, had made its presence known for this very purpose.
The spectators marveled at this unprecedented development. The City of Ancient Emperors, a silent and ancient guardian, had chosen to intervene in this battle, assuming the role of protector. The significance of this act was not lost on anyone.
As time marched on, the intensity of the battle showed no signs of waning. Every strike carried lethal intent and devastating power. Expert after expert fell, triggering the activation of their immortal senses, only to witness them dispersed by the formidable tribulation law energy. The spectators watched in awe and trepidation as this cycle repeated itself with relentless efficiency.
Meanwhile, the group led by Qin Wentian and Qing'er had reached a critical point above the devil ape battle formation. They found themselves surrounded by the demonic light emanating from the formidable creature. The devil ape had opted not to defend against Qin Wentian and Qing'er's attacks separately, instead forming a protective screen of demonic light adorned with intricate runes.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar reverberated through the battlefield as the experts within the battle formation unleashed a synchronized barrage of punches. Their combined strength funneled into the devil ape, which responded with a devastating punch, radiating overwhelming force capable of shattering all in its path. Qin Wentian's face contorted in grim determination as his colossal form thrust his spear with lightning speed, targeting countless points of impact. Explosions echoed relentlessly as white runic light clashed with the streams of fist power, disintegrating them.
Despite their valiant efforts, members of the Qin Sect were still battered by the relentless onslaught. Blood spewed from their mouths as they were hurled through the air, their resolve undiminished. The battle raged on, each moment fraught with uncertainty and unyielding determination.
"The devil ape's defenses are weakening with each passing moment. Brothers of the Qin Sect, give it your all! We must shatter this formation!" Qin Wentian's voice reverberated across the battlefield, a rallying cry that echoed in the hearts of his sect members. His determination was unwavering as he pledged to protect them all.
As he roared, a breathtaking spectacle unfolded. Above him, a terrifying ancient demon constellation materialized in the heavens, summoning a legion of greater demons from the void itself. These ethereal beings descended from the sky, their presence exuding an overwhelming, violent demonic power.
Simultaneously, the Sword Slaughter and Suppressive Annihilation constellations revealed themselves. From these celestial formations, cascading astral light poured down like a torrential rain of swords. Golden figures representing suppression streaked through the air, capable of bending even time itself, all converging on the formidable devil ape. Qin Wentian spared no effort in shielding his sect members from harm.
The onlookers marveled at his prowess. Qin Wentian's mastery of his constellations was nothing short of astonishing. It was clear that he stood unrivaled on this battlefield.
In fact, his strength alone was more than a match for the entire battle formation. Had the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect's experts not united in their formation, they would have crumbled under a single strike from him.
With spirits renewed, the members of the Qin Sect charged forward with newfound determination. With Qin Wentian as their protector, they felt invincible, ready to dismantle the formidable formation that had held them captive.
Qing'er, her countenance as cool as ice, radiated an aura of boundless spatial light. Positioned at the forefront of the battlefield, she confronted the battle formation head-on. With a resounding blast, her palm struck a shimmering barrier, causing spatial destruction to erupt like a field of endless blossoms. The power contained within the spatial law energy could penetrate even the most impervious defenses.
Her long, flowing hair danced in the wind, and it seemed as though she had awakened the Green-Lotus Sacred Compendium. A bed of lotuses sprouted beneath her feet, and the blossoms scattered beams of deadly light across the battlefield. These radiant beams struck fear into the hearts of the experts trapped within the battle formation. Their entire focus was dedicated to maintaining the formation, and any lapse in concentration could spell its collapse. The power of their formation lay in their unity, moving as one cohesive entity. Consequently, if panic seized their minds, all would be lost.
In that crucial moment, Qing'er's assault pierced the heart of the battle formation, aiming to extinguish the lives of the geniuses within.
A resounding "Puchi..." pierced the air as brilliant beams of light burst forth, illuminating the battlefield. Deadly lotuses, radiant and deadly, bloomed with a resplendent beauty, bypassing the defensive screen of light that had shielded the experts within. Panic etched across their faces as they hurriedly summoned their energy to fend off Qing'er's relentless assault. In this moment, the once-mighty devil ape, the linchpin of their formation, weakened to the point of disintegration.
"Break!" The members of the Qin Sect unleashed an even more ferocious barrage of attacks upon witnessing this pivotal moment. Their strength had always been overwhelming, but now it surged to new heights. With a thunderous boom, Qin Wentian thrust his spear with unparalleled dominance, shattering the protective screen of light and claiming the lives of several Eastern Sage Immortal Sect experts.
In an instant, one of the battle formations crumbled into oblivion.
The spectators, suspended in midair at a safe distance, watched with bated breath. There was no longer any suspense in this battle. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect's fate was sealed, and it was Qin Wentian who would deliver their punishment.
"KILL!" With the battle formation dismantled, the Qin Sect experts descended upon their foes with a frenzied zeal. Countless golden figures representing suppression descended from above, bearing down upon the members of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Meanwhile, Qin Wentian's lethal spear struck once more. Many among the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had no time to mount a defense, accepting their fates with grim resignation. As the spectators had predicted, without the protective shield of their formation, none from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect could withstand even a single strike from Qin Wentian.
Despair and terror etched across the faces of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect's experts. They had arrived in grand fashion, believing that their expedition would culminate in the destruction of the Qin Sect. Yet, the reality was a far cry from their expectations.
In stark contrast, Qin Wentian's countenance exuded cold disdain. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had dispatched an army of over three hundred to the City of Ancient Emperors with the intention to kill him. In this battle, Qin Wentian was determined to ensure that the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would regret his actions. He would further tarnish the emperor's reputation and openly challenge him by taking the lives of his subordinates.
