The tempest had lasted only a short while, but it generated enough shockwaves to make everyone in the Royal Sacred City flee in terror.
As for the experts from the Star River Association, they had already been surrounded and killed. After all, the disparity in strength between both sides was just too great.
"Have all those experts died?" The spectators felt their hearts trembling. Those who died were immortals and one among them was a supreme and high-ranked immortal king. Yet, they had actually died here in this particle world.
The Star River Association had been eradicated.
Everyone stared at Qin Wentian who stood in the air. They never expected that a commotion of such magnitude would actually occur in a particle world because of Qin Wentian.
The immortal sense of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord had yet to vanish. He appeared before Qin Wentian and said, "This matter won't end so simply, so it's best that you leave this particle world immediately."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. Just earlier, the Star River Association had sent an immortal king to kill him. Qin Wentian could sense that this incident wasn't at all simple. Although the Star River Association hated him, their grudge wasn't deep enough for them to pay such a price. Although he had eradicated the Star River Association here in the past, it was just within the scope of a particle world—to the Star River Association, this wouldn't count as significant. The Star River Association's tendrils stretched across numerous particle worlds, and was most assuredly a large power in the immortal realms.
In the past, this particle world didn't even have an immortal foundation expert from the Star River Association. Now, so many immortals had suddenly appeared, even an immortal king. How could this matter be as simple as reoccupying a particle world?
"Xian`er, follow me to the immortal realms. I can't guarantee that the association won't deal with you after we leave," Qin Wentian said to Lin Xian`er who stood beside him.
"Okay, I will listen to you." Lin Xian`er nodded her head lightly. She had always wanted to go to the immortal realms, and now that Qin Wentian was willing to bring her there, she naturally wouldn't reject the opportunity.
"Let's go." The group of experts soared into the air, but just as they were about to leave, a mighty pressure bore down from above. A group of people appeared to block their path.
These people all wore expressions that radiated hostility, and their auras were tyrannical to the extreme. Apparently, they had been a step too late—an allied immortal king had actually fallen in this world.
The two parties were still far away from each other, but their auras had already clashed as they stared at each other from the distance.
"Has the Star River Association and the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect joined forces?"
"Senior Emperor Lord is too serious. The Star River Association wanted to take over this world, whereas we from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect are here to capture Qin Wentian. This man has killed many of our sect members and we have orders to bring him back," replied an immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
"It looks like the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect keeps looking for an opportunity to start a war with my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Is this the excuse you were waiting for?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed coldly. Previously, he'd taken away six of the thirteen prefectures from the control of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. How could the Eastern Sage swallow this defeat so easily? Both their forces had experienced endless minor conflicts, but a full-blown, all-out war? Apparently, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had run out of patience.
"Senior, don't forget the agreement. If we start a war, immortal emperors cannot participate in it," continued the immortal king of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
"No matter what, the Cloud Prefecture is now under my control. Shouldn't the particle worlds near it also be under the governance of my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect? You guys chose to start a war here, so it seems like you're all very confident," the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord said coldly. In the air, numerous figures walked out from the void, exuding fearsome might. They were all immortal kings.
"Emperor Lord has truly made thorough preparations for a mere particle world," The immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect coldly surveyed his contemporaries, silently gauging their strength.
"Are you guys not the same as well? Preparing so many experts just to capture Qin Wentian? If I'm not wrong, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect must have already stationed many immortal kings around this particle world, all preparing to fight against my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, right?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke calmly, his words causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble. He didn't expect that a war would erupt between two supreme powers of the immortal realms because of him.
"Thousand Transformations, you are really intelligent indeed." At this moment, a gigantic image appeared in the air. Everyone in the particle world could see who it was.
"Eastern Sage." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord nodded. This was a projection of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
"Thousand Transformations, since you want six of my prefectures, you'd best be prepared for a war. I'd like to see whether you, Thousand Transformations, have the capability to govern my territories." The voice of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor boomed out. After which, he turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian—the eyes of that illusory projection gleamed with a cold killing intent.
"Qin Wentian." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was an immortal emperor character. To him, this entire world was nothing but a speck of dirt. However, Qin Wentian, an immortal foundation character, had succeeded in igniting his killing intent numerous times, publicly smacking his face more than once in the past.
"It can be considered quite coincidental that you chose this time to return to your particle world. In that case, let us settle everything here. Listen up, there's no longer a need to capture Qin Wentian—just kill him directly!" commanded the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
"Roger!" replied the experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
The people of the particle world inclined their heads, staring at the projection of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor in the air. This was the same immortal emperor that had once appeared here all those years ago. He had wanted to accept a disciple from their world, but in the end, had rejected Qin Wentian. Now, he had appeared here once again to kill Qin Wentian. But now it seemed that Qin Wentian had already joined a major power in the immortal realms, and in addition, that major power was one that was in direct conflict with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
Boundless light flashed in the sky as numerous experts descended. Their bodies were incomparably huge, roughly around the size between 10,000 to 100,000 meters, their gargantuan forms standing in the sky of this particle world.
These experts were all immortal king existences, and the vast majority of them were from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. The Star River Association seemed to have retreated into the shadows, allowing the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect to be the main players for the upcoming battle.
"This…" The people of the particle world stared at the lofty supreme immortal kings in the air as they felt a sense of doom over their heads. This was too terrifying—these people were so large that it felt the entire world was being enveloped.
Immortal kings could expand their sizes at will. They didn't need any unique immortal arts and could enlarge themselves with just their wills alone.
In the air, numerous beams of light flashed, congregating into a fearsome spatial tempest that rent space apart where even more experts walked out from within. These figures also expanded in size as they walked towards those from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, standing in opposition to the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
"It's crazy. If this war erupts, this entire world will surely be destroyed." The spectators from the particle world went from their initial excitement to extreme terror. There were simply too many experts blotting out the sky. They were like divinities, causing the people of the particle world to feel how inconsequential they were. In front of these immortals, they truly were nothing but insects.
Right now, they could clearly sense the disaster about to occur. This war between the two sides would definitely destroy the particle world.
"Eastern Sage." At this moment, Qin Wentian spoke as he stared past the air. Although his voice wasn't loud, he believed that the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would be able to hear his words.
"There's nothing much to say about the grudge between us. However, there is no need for a particle world to be destroyed because of our battle. Do you know how heavy the accumulated sin would be if you destroyed a particle world? How about we fight this battle in the starry space instead?" Qin Wentian stared at the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as he spoke.
Around the immortal realms, there were a countless number of particle worlds. Each world was filled with boundless lives, and the number of living things could reach billions.
In the immortal realms, it was considered a grave sin to destroy a particle world. For superstrong experts, they would all avoid this without question.
"The sins from this battle will not taint my karma. You are the one responsible for the destruction of this particle world," the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor said coldly, his eyes devoid of emotion.
He was a lofty immortal emperor, and all things were like ants to him. A particle world was simply a world of country bumpkins—he had no regard for them at all. He wouldn't participate personally in this battle, and so the sin would not taint him. And even if there was sin, he had already lived for so many years, and he had already became an immortal emperor. What did he have to fear?
Throughout the immortal realms, he could count the number of people who had the ability to move against him with his fingers/on one hand. How could he be bothered by total sin from destroying a particle world?
Qin Wentian felt his body turning cold. His gaze flashed with a boundless killing intent as he stared at the gigantic silhouette in the air. Was this a supreme and lofty immortal emperor of the immortal realms? He had no regard for the lives of the people in a particle world.
The inhabitants of this particle world all heard the voice of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. They inclined their heads and stared at his silhouette, all with similar feelings of frustration and rage. Although they couldn't hear what Qin Wentian had said, they could guess from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's reply that Qin Wentian didn't want a great war to unfold here in this particle world that could lead to its destruction. However, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had rejected his suggestion.
Oppressed. The entire world was being oppressed. In the next instant, everyone in this world felt their nerves stretched taut with tension. A war could erupt at any moment and if it did, the magnitude of the calamity would utterly destroy them all.
"Eastern Sage, if you still insist on bringing war to this entire world, then as long as I'm still alive, I, Qin Wentian will make sure to annihilate your entire clan." Qin Wentian's fists were clenched. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was filled with contempt for the lives in this particle world, treating them all like ants.
"KILL!" roared the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor when he heard Qin Wentian's words, exuding an extremely terrifying killing intent!
Chapter 1031: Immortal WarTranslator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
"Eastern Sage!" Qin Wentian roared in anger. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor just gave the command, ignoring the lives of the countless people here in the particle world.
"BOOM!" A surge of destructive might enveloped this entire world. How powerful were immortal kings? They transformed into heavenly giants, standing in the air while radiating immense immortal might from their bodies. In an instant, every living being in this world was enveloped by that heavy pressure.
Right now, everyone in this world was trembling. The pressure was simply too fearsome. They could feel how tiny and inconsequential they are. Those giants in the sky seemed to be like true gods and devils.
Nobody bothered with Qin Wentian. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor already gave the command. The war instantly erupted.
These heavenly giants stepped out. A single step by them could already span a great distance. It was just too terrifying. Although their form has expanded, their speed wasn't slowed. They could travel a vast distance with a single step and at this moment, an overwhelming surge of power instantly blasted towards Qin Wentian. The power was so strong that it could envelop this entire area and annihilate everything caught within it.
This blast of power moved with the speed of a shooting star despite its overwhelming might. Although Qin Wentian has broken through to immortal foundation, he still felt himself trembling in the face of such power.
An immortal king from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect stepped out. Fearsome immortal light radiated from him as an ancient astral tree appeared behind him. This ancient tree towered up into the sky, manifesting a countless number of vines shining with the resplendent runic light of law energy.
The blast of power was blocked by the vines of the astral tree. The vast portion of the destructive might was negated almost completely.
"How powerful." Lin Xian`er, who stood beside Qin Wentian, felt her heart trembling. This was simply inconceivable. The experts were fighting at a level that was just too high for her to comprehend. And indeed, as one's cultivation reaches a higher level, one's strength would explosively increase. An example was that Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants attacks were so much stronger compared to Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns and Yuanfu Cultivators. When one was at the immortal king level, all cultivators who were below their level felt like ants to them. The explosiveness in terms of increase of power when one reached the immortal king level was simply too overwhelming.
An immortal king in the air blasted out with a punch, creating countless ancient characters around him. Each character contained boundless killing intent and an almighty destructive pressure. Another powerful immortal king stepped out to block his attack. Every palm strike he threw out generated three thousand streams of law energy, locking down the slaughter characters in the air. The clash of two of the immortal kings caused the entire space to tremble as spatial cracks appeared in the surroundings.
In a short instant, an all-out war erupted in this particle world. Although the immortal kings were fighting high up in the air, the boundaries their attacks could reach, covered the entire world. If both parties weren't launching attacks of such power at each other and aimed at the core of the world instead, they could easily destroy a particle world.
At this moment, the entire Royal Sacred Region was shaking. Many people couldn't steady themselves as beams of destructive light shot from the skies. The people below all frenziedly dodged, the aftershocks from the clashes of immortal kings weren't something they could defend against.
Streams of energy blasted out in all directions, causing screams of fear and terror to fill the skies. People of the particle world could clearly sense death looming over them.
As the war continued, it was like apocalypse to the people of this world. The remnant energies from the impact created from clashing blows was enough to flatten mountains or open up fissures over 1,000 miles. The people whom the aftershocks came into contact with, all died without the slightest means to fight back.
When the strong fights, the weak suffers. This was how cruel the cultivation world could be. The people in this particle world might have been living peaceful lives before, but once such an immortal war broke out, no one would regard the lives of these innocents as important. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor precisely understood the consequences of his decision; yet he still chose to give the command, using this place as a battlefield.
"Emperor Lord, is there a method that we can use to shift this battle elsewhere?" Qin Wentian turned to the immortal sense projection of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord as he asked.
"Let's wait. Eastern Sage would surely have a strategy to deal with my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Back in the past, you rejected him in the face and in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect I even took six prefectures from him. Although he seems calm on the surface, he definitely wouldn't be so forgiving and must be planning to deal some mortal strikes to us. It's just that I didn't imagine he would choose the particle world of your hometown to fight this battle." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord slowly spoke as he continued, "Seems like Eastern Sage's hatred for you should be very deep or he wouldn't have remembered you so clearly. Well, from another perspective, being able to make an immortal emperor think so much of you, can also be considered a glorious matter. But I wonder if this would be a blessing or a calamity?"
"In the future, I shall make the purpose of my growth to annihilate the entire Eastern Sage Immortal Sect." Qin Wentian spoke in an icy tone. During the battle, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect was actually still sending reinforcements on the level of immortal kings. How was this like a battle in a particle world? It basically resembled a grand war among two supreme powers in the immortal realms.
"Qin Wentian." Just at this moment, a thunderous voice sounded out from the sky. Up in the air, two imposing figures could be seen. Qin Wentian was actually acquainted with these two.
One of them was none other than a great general under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, the Deepflame Immortal King. He was one of the trusted aides of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and an extremely powerful immortal king.
As for the other, it was also a powerful immortal king. He was none other than the master of the Scarce Moon Immortal Manor, the Scarce Moon Immortal King.
The Scarce Moon Immortal King was an elder of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's personal disciple Que Tianyi. But ultimately, Que Tianyi was killed by Qin Wentian.
The Scarce Moon Immortal King could be considered a powerful character of a certain region in the immortal realms. He established an immortal manor within the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's territory and naturally had the strength to back things up. Now, these two extremely fearsome immortal kings came to this particle world. From this, one could see how determined the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was. Most probably, his plan was to bury all the experts of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect alongside with this particle world.
If the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect won this battle, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would instantly launch an offensive against the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect in the immortal realms and take back the six prefectures. He wanted to see who exactly dared to eye his, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's, territory in the future.
"Even Deepflame and Scarce Moon are here. Eastern Sage, you have really mobilized so many top experts for this battle." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord stared at the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor who was in the air. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor governed the thirteen prefectures before and has many immortal kings under him. However, it was impossible for him to mobilize all his immortal kings for every battle and could only choose a select few to go on the expedition.
But for this battle, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor actually summoned so many of his immortal kings. From this, one could see his determination.
The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor glanced at the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. Right now, he actually felt unhappiness in his heart. He discovered that there were some immortal kings who were extremely strong in the Emperor Lord's camp. This made him extremely surprised. Where did the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord recruit these experts?
The Scarce Moon Immortal King and the Deepflame Immortal King also expanded their forms. A pale cold moon appeared behind the Scarce Moon Immortal King, containing startling might. Under the light of that crescent moon, the ancient astral tree was suddenly covered with frost and appeared as though it was frozen solid.
The ancient tree gushed forth with an intense immortal might. Destructive rays of runic light shot out from each vine, resisting the frost energy of the Scarce Moon Immortal King. But at this moment, the Deepflame Immortal King stepped towards the ancient tree as a fiery ocean appeared behind him. The flames of the ocean coalesced into a figure that seemed to be the king of the abyss, seeping into the ancient tree and burning it from within.
The attacks of the Deepflame Immortal King and the Scarce Moon Immortal King. One was ice and one was fire. At this instant, that ancient tree was slowly destroyed. Although that immortal king struggled, his manifestation of the astral tree wasn't able to block such a fearsome attack.
"Hmph." The Deepflame Immortal King snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, countless balls of hellfire blasted downwards. The embers that fell down to the particle world instantly turned the ground they came into contact with into charred land devoid of any life. The flames of the Deepflame Immortal King were simply too terrifying, it was true immortal flames.
That immortal king who manifested the ancient tree screamed in agony. He dispersed the manifestation but the power of fire and ice continued ravaging him, attacking his immortal root. Staring at the situation of the entire battlefield, Qin Wentian sensed victory leaning towards the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. In fact, there were several immortals who were already heavily injured or dead.
For such a large-scale immortal war, even immortal kings could lose their lives here if they weren't careful.
"Brat, your death date is here." The Deepflame Immortal King coldly stared at Qin Wentian. Back then in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, Qin Wentian killed his disciple and shamed him, smacking his face heavily. He, the Deepflame Immortal King, was a lofty existence; yet he was shamed by an ascendant junior. Although the brat now has broken through to immortal foundation, this only made it that he wanted to kill Qin Wentian more. Qin Wentian's cultivation speed was just too fast.
"Deepflame, your judgement has always been bad. Now that your disciple is dead, and Que Tianyi whom you favored also died to Qin Wentian. Has your shame became your rage now?" A voice rang out from the air. Two figures then appeared in front of Qin Wentian, one wearing white, and the other wearing black.
The person who spoke was the man clad in white. His countenance was handsome and his long hair fluttered in the wind.
The man clad in black's countenance was cold like ice. His deep dark eyes contained the intent of death as a black sabre resembling the sabre of a death god could be seen behind his back.
"Bai Wuya!" The Deepflame Immortal King stared at that figure clad in white. He recalled that back when the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor came to this world to recruit a disciple, he was arguing with Bai Wuya then. He favored Que Tianyi, and Que Tianyi did become the personal disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor in the end; while he took Blackpeak as his disciple. But Bai Wuya favored Qin Wentian right from the start of the recruitment event.
Now...regardless of Que Tianyi or Blackpeak, both of them have already died to Qin Wentian.
