In the air, a figure could be seen standing there with his hair fluttering in the wind. That aura, there was no mistaking it. It was none other than that supreme genius who vanished from the Supreme Might Rankings, the one who completed the 81 steps of the Stonebell Rampart in a single day, Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian didn't die.
He actually was still alive!
In that case, what happened exactly back then? As for those in pursuit of Qin Wentian, where did all of them vanish to?
Also, why would Qin Wentian's image vanish from the Supreme Might Immortal Rankings?
Huang Youdi, White-eye and experts from the Violet Emperor Sect all stared at Qin Wentian with incomparably ugly expressions on their faces. At that large-scale battle those years ago, all of these peak powers joined forces to deal with Qin Wentian and his comrades because they shared the same point of hatred. However after that, the rumors of Qin Wentian falling circulated around like wildfire. His image disappeared from the Supreme Might Rankings and everyone assumed that he was dead.
Once Qin Wentian died, all the conflict from before vanished. Although all the major powers still harbored a grudge, they didn't really act upon it on Qin Wentian's comrades. It was only today when White-eye and Huang Youdi appeared again, they seemed to want to ignite that hatred once more, and even though Qin Wentian had died, they didn't intend to spare anyone connected to him.
The reason was very simple, the hatred they had for him was simply too deep. Qin Wentian roasted and barbequed white tiger meat and feasted on them before the eyes of their same kind while Huang Youdi who proclaimed himself a match for everyone under the heavens, was defeated and humiliated extremely badly by Qin Wentian. After Qin Wentian died, he had no way to vent his anger and frustration. He naturally also wanted to do this as an outlet to vent all his negative emotions.
However, he didn't expect that Qin Wentian was still alive.
Jun Mengchen, Nanfeng Yunxi as well as experts from the Battle Saint Tribe all had smiles on their faces when they saw Qin Wentian. Has he finally appeared again? They knew that it was impossible for Qin Wentian to die so easily, his fate was tougher than the heavens.
Qin Wentian coldly glanced at Huang Youdi before he stepped out and moved towards Qinger. At this moment, Qinger already opened her eyes, her aura although she was still cold, there was a gentle warmth in her eyes as she stared at the familiar figure approaching her.
"Qinger." Qin Wentian gently called out. After that he stretched out his hand and stroke Qinger's black hair with a smile on his face. Qing`er's earlier expression that were filled with coldness began to melt as a beautiful smile gradually appeared, causing her beauty and charm to magnify in an instant. Just that single smile on her face caused all beautiful things in the surroundings to lose their luster.
Qin Wentian also smiled as he held onto Qinger's hands. After that, he glanced at the disciples under Matriarch Ji and spoke, "Many thanks to all apprentice sisters for your care and concern for Qinger."
The disciples of Matriarch Ji all had a good impression of Qin Wentian. In addition to Qing`er's feelings for him, they naturally wouldn't have any prejudice or bias against him and hence, all of them nodded gently as they smiled.
"Qin Wentian, it's good that you didn't die. Come, let's fight again." Huang Youdi coldly spoke. After that, numerous terrifying auras gushed towards Qin Wentian. Not only for Huang Youdi, the experts from the White Tiger Race, the Violet Emperor Sect as well as the Paragon Sword Sect all walked forward.
Since Qin Wentian was still alive, it meant that their hatred still wasn't resolved.
"Where did those experts in pursuit of you vanish to?" An expert from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire stepped out. Huang Dangtian at the eighth-level of immortal-foundation pursued after Qin Wentian back then to hunt him down. But he vanished together with Qin Wentian. Now, Qin Wentian has reappeared, but Huang Dangtian was still missing.
Qin Wentian coldly regarded that person who spoke but he didn't respond to him.
"Speak up, we are asking you a question." An expert from the Paragon Sword Sect stepped out as sword qi gushed forth with terrifying might. There was also an expert from his Paragon Sword Sect who went missing after pursuing to hunt down Qin Wentian back then.
"BOOM!" Numerous powerful and violent auras gushed out. The experts from the Battle Saint Tribe, Southern Phoenix Clan and Matriarch Ji's sect all released their auras, causing the atmosphere in front of the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock to turn oppressively heavy in an instant. For those spectators who didn't want anything to do with combat, they instantly backed up and gave the combatants space as they watched with interest.
There were four sacred academies, but it wasn't that everyone knew of their grudge and hatred. With regards to Qin Wentian, many people have only heard vague things about him.
"This fellow truly came back at the right time." The princess of the Shooting Sun Immortal Empire was also watching from the outside. A strange glow could be seen in her eyes as she stared at Qin Wentian. He actually didn't die, things would no doubt get more interesting from now on.
"Really coincidental, these people didn't dare to touch the comrades of Qin Wentian. They must have definitely thought that Qin Wentian has fallen for sure. However, didn't they know that the allies of Qin Wentian were also extremely powerful? As long as Huang Shatian doesn't participate, there would be no way these people could do anything to them. There seems to be a good show unfolding now that Qin Wentian has returned, facing against White-eye and Huang Youdi.
Qin Wentian stared at the faces of his enemies filled with arrogance. He released Qing`er's hand and stepped forward, slowly rising up into the air, staring down at all these experts with disdain.
"Who the hell you think you are? Are you even qualified to question me?" Qin Wentian coldly spoke towards that expert from the Paragon Sword Sect.
The aura of the sword expert instantly gushed forth, the sharpness of his sword qi was unrivalled, able to destroy everything as it pierced up into the skies.
Huang Youdi also snorted coldly as he stepped out while releasing his immortal foundation. A human emperor manifested before him, but Qin Wentian similarly didn't respond to him.
"Are you saying that even I have no qualifications?" The emperor light grew even brighter as Huang Youdi soared up into the sky, desiring for another battle to cleanse the shame of the humiliation he suffered during the defeat back then.
Qin Wentian glanced at Huang Youdi, his eyes filled with an intense mocking as he spoke, "I didn't think that there would be someone who would still grossly overestimate themselves in this world. Despite that humiliating defeat, you are now still asking me in such a forceful tone if you have the qualifications to talk to me? Huang Youdi, do you know how the word 'shame' is written?"
"HOW DARE YOU!" Huang Youdi roared. How proud of an individual was he back then? Proclaiming to be the match of everyone underneath the heavens, only impressed by his elder brother. In his eyes, how many people could stand equally to him? Hence, it was only normal for him to speak with boundless arrogance towards Qin Wentian back then. In any case, the impact on his psyche and the state of his heart after that defeat was exceedingly great. And right now, Qin Wentian's words were like swords once more cutting into his heart, causing him to be unable to endure.
"DIE!" Emperor light from Huang Youdi gushed forth with boundless strength. Although he was only at the sixth level, the might he exuded was terrifying to the extreme. Even geniuses at the seventh-level might not be able to unleash such power with a single strike.
The blast of emperor might shot towards Qin Wentian but at this moment, Qin Wentian's body begin to emit a powerful light as layers of fiendgod armor covered his body, flowing with endless runes that shone resplendently. When the bout of emperor might shot over, it actually had no way to penetrate Qin Wentian's defenses any longer. Qin Wentian simply stood there, allowing Huang Youdi to attack freely, his eyes gleamed as though he was watching a clown playing.
"How can this be…" Everyone turned pale when they felt the aura Qin Wentian unleashed. The sixth-level of immortal-foundation… Back then when Qin Wentian was being pursued by so many experts, not only didn't he die he even actually broke through? When one reached the fifth-level, how could it be so easy to break through to the next? A breakthrough definitely couldn't be accomplished overnight. How did Qin Wentian manage to breakthrough despite that intense pursuit?
Were the levels in cultivation really so easily broken through?
In that case, Qin Wentian's disappearance from the Supreme Might Rankings on the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock was because he has broken through to the next level?
"Your name is Huang Youdi, proclaiming yourself to be a match for everyone under the heavens. But with just your measly strength, are you even fit to have that name?" Qin Wentian stood there as he emotionlessly spoke. Huang Youdi roared in anger and lifted his hands to blast out an attack. Numerous human emperors manifested, slashing out with their emperor swords, causing the sky to change color as an oppressive emperor might sought to crush everything.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian stepped out. His fiendgod-like body was stimulated to the max. Lifting his hand, it felt like he was about to shake the world and destroy everything. Mumbling words of truth under his breath, characters of suppression were formed and suppressed the human emperors, destroying the human emperor swords. A countless number of ancient characters powered by truth floated in the air, bringing with them a towering might that shot straight towards Huang Youdi, enveloping him in an instant.
Huang Youdi screamed, he only felt an unparalleled suppressive might from the ancient characters boring down on him. An intense struggle could be seen on his face, he did his best but to no avail, there was no way for him to break through that suppressive might. The ancient characters powered by truth were like a prison, securely locking him within.
"Huang Youdi, you are merely an insect." Qin Wentian's voice was like words of truth, entering into his ear. After that, he saw an imposing figure descending from the heavens, exuding enough might that could cause the sky to collapse, bringing with him a terrifying might that blasted right into him, flinging him through the air.
Huang Youdi proclaimed that he was a match for everyone under the heavens, he fought with Qin Wentian again and was directly instdefeated. The disparity between them was too great, he basically couldn't even be considered an opponent.
Such a cruel reality caused Huang Youdi's heart to turn cold. He was just an insignificant insect-level figure?
Numerous experts stepped forth. Many powerful experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire stood in front of Huang Youdi protectively. Qin Wentian coldly swept his gaze over them as he spoke, "Do you all think that he still has the qualifications to make me personally act and abuse him? If I was him, so proud and arrogant yet encountering such intense humiliation again and again. Where would I still have the face to meet other people? He might as well just go to hell now."
"Enough." A person berated. Each and every one of Qin Wentian's words had the potential to slay the dao heart of Huang Youdi. Although Huang Youdi was defeated now, it is not necessarily a bad thing. But if they allowed Qin Wentian to continue insulting and humiliating him, Huang Youdi's dao heart might never be whole again.
"Hmph, courting their own humiliation yet not allowing others to speak. The people of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire only knows how to fantasize about their 'overwhelming' strength." Jun Mengchen coldly snorted. Huang Youdi should receive a humiliation equal to his arrogance back then.
"Look at the Supreme Might Rankings." At this moment, someone exclaimed in surprise. Right now over there on the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock, an image gradually appeared again. It was none other than the figure of that supreme genius who exuded magnificence that lasted through the generations. He firstly vanished from the rankings but now, he appeared again at an even higher spot in the rankings.
Yet another supreme genius was being replaced by him. Back then in the past, his battle with Huang Youdi made him replace a supreme character. Now, this battle with Huang Youdi again, caused him to replace yet another supreme character.
"This Huang Youdi is truly in such a wretched state, completely becoming the stepping stone for him to ascend to the Supreme Might Rankings." Someone laughed.
"A match for everyone under the heavens? That's only what he assumed due to his boundless arrogance. This is also why the humiliation now would be so intense. If he was more humble at the start, even if he was defeated, as long as he continued working hard where would there be any humiliation?" All these voices entered the ear of Huang Youdi, causing him to groan in misery as he coughed out another mouthful of blood.
Qin Wentian completely disregarded Huang Youdi. He walked to the front of another person instead, White-eye of the White Tiger Race.
"Even if I can't truly kill you in the Sky Connecting Realm, if I don't barbeque you alive today, my name isn't Qin Wentian." Qin Wentian coldly spoke, his words causing the hearts of everyone to tremble. This fellow wanted to barbeque White-eye alive?
