The might radiating from the Lifire Empyrean was too terrifying. At this moment, the vast majority of people all hoped for Qin Wentian to become the victor. Because, once the Lifire Empyrean’s attack defeated Qin Wentian, it was unknown how many people had to die here today.
The northern governor Qin Wentian, the supervisory commander Di Tian, as well as the Jialan Clan has forced the Lifire Empyrean into such a state today. This grudge can already be considered unresolvable as long as either party didn’t die. Even if the Lifire Empyrean was victorious, he wouldn’t be able to escape the denouncement from the other world palace lords at the Realmlord’s side. But if he did win, the first thing he would do was to annihilate all of these traitors who dared to rebel against him.
Qin Wentian was now in extremely dire straits himself. Could he even protect himself? Let alone speaking about obtaining victory.
The terrifying lava flames buried Qin Wentian within. Boundless radiance radiated from Qin Wentian, a brilliant light that shone gloriously encapsulated everything. It seemed capable of purifying the myriad of things in this world, a fiery radiance that was unstoppable. Qin Wentian closed his eyes, his entire person seemed even more holy and saint-like. Gradually, the lava flames were burned away, devoured by the brilliant radiance.
The Lifire Empyrean and his clone wanted to crush Qin Wentian. However, with the fiery radiance of the laws of light, it felt like even if the entire might of the Lifire Grand Formation was to descend unceasingly upon Qin Wentian, it would be unable to harm him.
And at this moment, the Lifire Empyrean’s true self stared at everyone from the air. “You guys betrayed this seat. Do you all feel regret now?”
The hearts of everyone trembled. When Sun Qian saw the Lifire Empyrean’s gaze, he immediately hid himself behind Di Tian. Those who had surrendered also felt trepidation in their hearts. Today, things really had been too miserable for them. No matter what they did, no matter how they choose, the paths that laid before them all led to death. At the end, will they ultimately die in this battle for the Lifire Palace Lord’s position?
“Kill!” The Lifire Empyrean roared. In an instant, lifire palm imprints descended from the sky, shooting towards Di Tian, Sun Qian and Beauty Xiao. The first people he wanted to kill were none other than these three. Two of them were governors who betrayed him, his direct subordinates, there was no way he would pardon them. And as for Di Tian, he was the mastermind of everything today. Hence, he wanted to kill these three no matter what.
His gaze was extremely terrifying, capable of scorching through everything. Di Tian’s eyes narrowed when he saw such a powerful attack. A moment later, a fearsome gigantic phantom of a demon god from his bloodline protection ability appeared behind him, directly launching attacks against the lifire palm imprints, negating the force behind it. On the other side, Beauty Xiao who was far away from Di Tian, had no way to defend against this. She couldn’t even withstand the Lifire Empyrean’s gaze. The terrifying lifire palm easily captured her.
“Release her!” A resplendent light radiated forth. Qin Wentian was like the god of light, unexcelled in the world. He stared at the Lifire Empyrean as he repeated, “Release her.”
The Lifire Empyrean had an ugly look on his face. He glanced at Qin Wentian before turning towards Di Tian as his countenance became cold. “Di Tian, to think that you actually have also broken through to this level.”
The hearts of everyone trembled. They all seemed to be already numb…
Everything that happened today had been too overwhelmingly shocking. The incidents that happened one by one all filled them with endless shock.
Right now, the Lifire Empyrean said that the Supervisory Commander Di Tian was actually the same as Qin Wentian? He had also stepped into the empyrean realm?
Back then those years ago at the grand banquet of the Lifelong Realm, Di Tian and Qin Wentian shook the world with their names. Now, both of them actually broke through to the empyrean realm. These two are truly monstrous existences.
The experts of the Jialan Clan all had stiff looks on their faces. Their hearts were filled with waves of shock as they stared at the Di Tian who stepped out.
Di Tian had joined forces with their Jialan Clan, wanting to pull the Lifire Empyrean down from his position. However, was this really because of his relationship with the Jialan Clan? Because of his relationship with Jialan Qiuyue?
Did he do all of this just to help the Jialan Clan ascend to the top seat?
Before this, everyone thought so. But right now, their hearts were wavering.
If Di Tian was still at the immortal emperor realm, it was very possible that he did all this to help the Jialan Clan get the Lifire Palace Lord’s position.
But he actually concealed the fact that he had broken through to the empyrean realm from everyone. What did this mean? This undoubtedly meant that he already has enough power to take the position of the Lifire Palace Lord for himself! Also, in addition to his talent, as well as the Realmlord’s approval and backing, he, Di Tian, was more qualified than Jialan Jiangshan to sit on the Lifire Palace’s throne if the Lifire Empyrean was defeated.
In the crowd far away, Jialan Qiuyue turned pale. Jialan Yuntian froze as well. Everything has been made clear.
By forming a friendship with the Jialan Clan, it was true that Di Tian needed to borrow their strength. However, his true intention was to grab the seat of the Lifire Palace Lord. For the sake of becoming the Lifire Palace Lord, what was friendship? What was Jialan Qiuyue’s beauty? Evidently, they couldn’t compare at all!
Di Tian had hidden this from everyone, including their Jialan Clan. They had unknowingly become Di Tian’s chess pieces. As one of the peak powers of the Lifelong Realm, the Jialan Clan actually became a tool that was made use of by Di Tian. What an irony this was?
But this also proved what a terrifying character Di Tian was.
“Palace lord, things have already reached such a state. Why is there a need to implicate the innocents? Whether is there Sun Qian or Beauty Xiao or not, you ultimately have to give up your position. That’s the irresistible general trend of events.” Di Tian slowly spoke.
“Irresistible trend of events?” The Lifire Empyrean laughed. Balls of flame could be seen in floating in the air with the reddened sky as their backdrop. He continued, “Di Tian, what a terrifying scheme. I don’t believe that you have the strength to contend against me. Also, you have so many subordinates. If I want to kill them all, can you even stop me?”
“Whether it was you fighting against Senior Jialan, or against Governor Qin, I have not acted, choosing to stand by the side. I did this because I wanted to allow palace lord to have a chance at a fair battle, to determine who the victor and the loser is. Palace lord, why must you implicate others and use my subordinates to threaten me? Could it be that you don’t have any family members inside the Lifire Palace? No matter what, it’s best that you consider their safety too.” Di Tian’s tone was undoubtedly also filled with the hint of a threat.
“HAHAHA!” The Lifire Empyrean laughed maniacally, sounding a little crazed. He, the Lifire Palace Lord, the sovereign of this region, was actually threatened by someone with his family.
With a violent grab, the Lifire Empyrean grabbed hold of Beauty Xiao and moved her before him. Di Tian’s expression froze, but the Lifire Empyrean was looking at Qin Wentian instead of him. He then spoke, “In the past, you had once dared to do crazy things for the sake of Ye Qianyu and Beiming Youhuang. Now, I wonder if you would be crazy enough for the sake of Beauty Xiao who betrayed me to help you.”
Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. “As the Lifire Palace Lord, using such a method to threaten me is simply too despicable.”
“I also didn’t expect that I would have to face off against three empyreans today. Since this is the case, I can only kill one of you first.” The Lifire Empyrean icily replied. He then continued, “Beauty Xiao’s charm is really not small. From what I know, in truth she actually hates men and is an extremely pragmatic individual. However, under the circumstances where the future cannot be foreseen, she actually took the risk to betray me for you. This isn’t like her. In that case, I want you now to suffer my attacks for the sake of her. Are you willing?”
Beauty Xiao turned pale as she stared at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian’s expression also turned ashen. He glanced at Beauty Xiao before speaking to the Lifire Empyrean, “Lifire Empyrean, did you not hear Supervisory Commander Di Tian’s words? Don’t tell me you don’t have family inside the Lifire Palace.”
“After killing you, I’ll naturally slaughter Di Tian. Daring to rebel yet you still expect to live?” The Lifire Empyrean coldly spoke.
“The Lifire Empyrean is starting to be afraid.” The eyes of many flashed. If the Lifire Empyrean was confident enough to kill everyone, given his status, there was no need for him to do such an embarrassing thing. As the sovereign of this entire region, if he wanted to kill Beauty Xiao, he would have already done so. However, he didn’t do so and chose to use Beauty Xiao to threaten Qin Wentian instead. This meant that the Lifire Empyrean could feel a true sense of threat from Qin Wentian. He was no longer as confident.
“Lifire Empyrean. I challenged you directly and openly but if you use such despicable methods, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Qin Wentian’s expression was like ice.
“Release your defense.” The Lifire Empyrean exerted more force. Instantly, fire sprang up around Beauty Xiao, causing her to scream in pain. She was injured despite resisting it with her own law energy. Qin Wentian’s eyes narrowed. He glanced at Beauty Xiao, and upon seeing the agony on her face, his heart trembled violently from an inner struggle.
He didn’t really feel much emotions for her but no matter what, they did have a relationship before. In addition, Beauty Xiao betrayed the Lifire Empyrean for him. Before this, she had no idea that he had already reached the empyrean realm or whether he would defeat the Lifire Empyrean or not. But even so, she determinedly stood on his side.
“BOOM!” A towering might radiated from Di Tian. Boundless law energy churned in the surroundings as a fearsome sealing might permeated the atmosphere, blotting out the sky dyed red by lifire.
He stepped out as a sealing windstorm kicked up, wanting to seal this space. “Governor Qin, since the Lifire Empyrean is so despicable. Why don’t we join forces to kill him?”
After speaking, he glanced at the Lifire Empyrean again, “Palace Lord, you best think things through. If you don’t implicate others, I don’t mind just watching from the sidelines.”
Di Tian wanted to pressure the Lifire Empyrean by doing this. He wanted to force him to give up on harming Beauty Xiao.
“Qin Wentian, your decision?” The Lifire Empyrean could sense Di Tian’s might. He was even more sure in his heart that he had to kill one of them first. If not, when these two magnificent characters and Jialan Jiangshan joined forces, things would be too dangerous for him.
Qin Wentian’s expression turned unsightly. The Lifire Empyrean clearly was determined to threaten him.
“Fine, just do what you want.” Qin Wentian gritted his teeth as the law energy radiating from him dissipated completely.
Beauty Xiao who was captured by the Lifire Empyrean, instantly felt her eyes redden. She stared at Qin Wentian, a hint of a radiant smile flashed in her eyes, filled with charm. She then whispered, “Have you gone mad? Given your talent, why did you give up on resisting just for a woman like me?”
“Shut up.” Qin Wentian glanced at her and berated.
Beauty Xiao’s mouth twitched, her smile seemed to grow even more radiant as she continued, “I once said that one day, if you stand in opposition to the Lifire Empyrean, I’ll definitely stand on the palace lord’s side. I thought that I was already foolish enough today, but I didn’t expect that you are even more foolish than me. For a woman like me that’s so cheap and lowly, looked down upon by everyone, how can it be worth to exchange your life, a life of that of a peerless genius, for mine?”
Laughing, her tears began to flow. At this moment, her resistance formed from her law energy dissipated completely. At the next instant, the fearsome lifire directly burned her body, a body of flesh and blood. Without the protection of her law energy, how could she endure the intensity of the lifire flames? She immediately let out a scream mingled with intense agony but she still gritted her teeth, determined to bear it. She wanted to maintain her most charming and beautiful smile as she stared at the young man in white who could sacrifice himself for her.
Sometimes, when you are filled with utter despair towards the world, there would sometimes be someone who appeared, bringing with them their own light to illuminate your world. This ray of light was much more precious and valuable compared to life itself.
Hence, she was willing to give her life up. In addition, she was finally truly happy, truly satisfied!
