Qin Wentian had extremely deep karma with the Heavenly Talisman Realm. Ever since senior Bai Wuya inducted him into the Heavenly Talisman Realm, he was considered a disciple there, taking the Heavenly Talisman Realmlord as his master. He did have a sense of belonging to the Heavenly Talisman Realm and was very respectful to many apprentice brothers from there. An example was, Bai Wuya, the senior that inducted Jun Mengchen, the Saberlord of Death, Tuoba Saintsky and the others who fought side by side with him those years ago.
The Heavenly Talisman Realm has always treated him as a core disciple to be nurtured, he could definitely sense this. All this lasted until the time where more than half of the peak powers in the immortal realms wanted his death. At that time, other than Jun Mengchen and Bai Wuya from the Heavenly Talisman Realm, no one else appeared. He understood that at that point of time, the Heavenly Talisman Realm probably felt that the time wasn’t right yet. In order to hunt him down, over half of the peak powers joined in alliance. If the Heavenly Talisman Realm acted then, they would have exposed their identities before they were ready and would definitely encounter strong resistance.
And after his death, the immortal realms entered a period of chaos. The opportunity the Heavenly Talisman Realm was waiting for finally arrived. They used the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect as a front, wanting to dominate the world. The ambition of the Heavenly Talisman Realmlord could clearly be seen. Everything that happened in the past was just preparation for what would happen next. His final goal must be to unify Azure Mystic, becoming the hegemonic lord of these immortal realms.
The disciples of the Heavenly Talisman Realm are countless and given how chaotic the world is now, as well as the Heavenly Talisman Realm’s ambitions, many would surely answer the call and fight for the Heavenly Talisman Realm. Most probably, many people were just staying low profile and waiting for a chance to burst forth with brilliance. Who would be willing to remain nameless forever? Since the world was so chaotic now, it was only natural many disciples would answer the call for war.
But why would Jun Mengchen become a traitor?
How would the Heavenly Talisman Realm deal with traitors?
His gaze was filled with nervousness as he stared at the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. He has always treated Jun Mengchen like a real brother.
“Jun Mengchen has once come to my emperor palace before. Right now, he is also extremely famous in the immortal realms and has the title of Dominance Immortal Emperor. His cultivation base is equal to Qing`er’s, his combat prowess is extremely strong. There’s an extremely strong power behind the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and Jun Mengchen is one of their disciples. Back then when you were in danger and was surrounded by the many enemies, that power chose to stand by and watch you die. Jun Mengchen has always been felt resentment over this. I believe that he must have gone to beg that power for help but he didn’t succeed. Other than that, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect also chose to break off the alliance when my Evergreen Immortal Empire was in danger. They said that only if my Evergreen Immortal Empire was willing to submit to them would they be willing to send us reinforcements.
The Evergreen Immortal Emperor continued, “Jun Mengchen was extremely unhappy about this and fell out with the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Because of this incident, he was even pursued by his ex-sect and right now, his movements are a mystery. From my deduction, if it wasn’t because the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect hopes for my Evergreen Immortal Empire to clash with our enemies as both sides weaken, they would have already sent out troops to force us into submission, not allowing us to exist.”
As Qin Wentian listened, he felt increasingly complicated in his heart. He has left for so many years and truly, even the seas have turned into mulberry fields. Everything has changed.
“How about the Emperor Lord and Bai Wuya?” Qin Wentian continued to ask, pressed by his concern for them.
“Right now on the surface, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord is still the leader of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect but in reality, he no longer has any authority. I’m not very sure about Bai Wuya’s current situation.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor shook his head.
“Also, Little Rascal and Purgatory have never returned after that war earlier. However, I heard some news that Little Rascal would frequently appear in the Desolate Mountain Range and had devoured many experts from the Phoeroc Race, Void Beast Race, White Tiger Race and many others from the various demonic races. Jia Yemo of the Phoeroc Race had long issued a sure-kill order against him. The demon emperor of the Sun Gold Race and White Tiger Race both also wants his life.” Qing`er added from the side. To summarize, it means that Little Rascal had created trouble and it was a major one. Most probably, it should be because of his death.
“What about the Myriad Devil Islands? Any news from there? The Judiciary Priestess of the Judiciary Devil Hall, do you all know anything? Also, back then Qi Yu and his clan members who became my followers, what has become of them now?” Qin Wentian continued to ask.
“Qi Yu and the others should be still cultivating silently, they didn’t participate in any of the battles after chaos rocked the world. As for the Judiciary Priestess of the Judicary Devil Hall, she is now known as the Blood Empress, the Grand Priestess of Blood.” Qing`er continued. In the past, given her personality, she wouldn’t be inclined to be concerned with outside news. But now, she was very well informed about the current events in the outside world. During these years, her transformation had been exceedingly great because there were many things that needed to be depended on her.
“Blood Empress, the Grand Priestess of Blood…” Qin Wentian felt his heart trembling. That little lass Bai Qing…what has she experienced during these years exactly?
“What’s the general current situation in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms?” Qin Wentian continued asking.
“Many supreme geniuses have appeared, capable of taking charge of an area. The geniuses of your generation, those peak characters of the City of Ancient Emperors, all had started on their path of rising up. Many major powers were exterminated in the immortal realms, vanishing like dust and clouds, becoming history. The various peak powers of the north fought extremely brutal wars against the demon races. Their empires are located closest to the Desolate Mountain Range and they would often encounter beast tides that wanted to overrun them.”
The Evergreen Immortal Emperor continued, “As for the central regions, things are the most chaotic and complicated there. Many powers were being assimilated by stronger ones and it’s the same for the demon races like the White Tiger Race that resides in the west. Those weaker demon races all submitted to the more powerful greater demons. In the western regions, only a few greater demon races remain, they have completely absorbed the other weaker races under them. As for the situation in the north, you should already have a clearer understanding of that. For the south, the Jiang Clan still remains mysterious and low-profile, their foundations are so deep that they cause people to feel fear. They possess many mysterious techniques and secret arts, and seem to be waiting for an opportunity. And with regards to the eastern regions…you’ve already seen everything here.”
“Other than these, there are also some remnant powers that decided to form an alliance. An example is the Violet Emperor and Eastern Sage. They actually chose to join Old Devil Duo Tian, causing Duo Tian’s faction’s strength to become immensely powerful. My injury was caused by them and I narrowly escaped death. If you didn’t return in time this time around, the Evergreen Immortal Empire would have been vanquished today, completely disappearing from the immortal realms, becoming history.”
Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with coldness. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor’s words about the general situation of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms could be summarized with a single word – chaotic. This entire immortal realm was in complete chaos. And right now, in addition to the empyreans from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms descending here, there would only be chaos upon chaos.
To think that the hegemon of the eastern regions would actually be the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect that was controlled by the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
They continued to chat and discuss about many things. From away from here, glimmers of bright lights finally could be seen as the reinforcements that the Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor called for finally arrived. Those who came were all immortal emperors and all of them were from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. The Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire was still a peak power in the central regions, their strength was very terrifying as they had many immortal emperors. This time around, they didn’t even need to send out their full force to destroy the Evergreen Immortal Empire initially. But sadly, they didn’t have a choice and had to come here now no matter what.
Qin Wentian even saw someone familiar – Huang Shatian. Now, Huang Shatian naturally was already an immortal emperor expert. Huang Shatian’s talent was originally already extremely outstanding and had succeeded in gaining insights in a dao element, how could he fall behind others? He, who was at the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm, had an extraordinary demeanor different from others.
The reinforcements glanced at the Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor and many other immortal emperors that were surrounded as they couldn’t help but to frown. After that, they saw the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, Matriarch Ji and the Southern Phoenix Matriarch all being present as their expressions involuntarily grew unsightly. Even if they came here to give aid, it was clear that their strengths weren’t enough to fight against these three peak-stage immortal emperors. As for the Skymist Immortal Emperor and Paragon Sword Emperor who were among those being surrounded, they already had no more forces under them who survived. They had no reinforcements to call for.
Huang Shatian also saw Qin Wentian. His expression became extremely fascinating to behold, fixedly staring at him. The Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor’s words were actually real. Qin Wentian didn’t die and he had brought an army of immortal emperors with him when he returned.
“Where are the people of the Senluo Immortal Empire?” The Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor coldly asked. Their empire had entered an alliance with the Senluo Immortal Empire.
“They didn’t show up.” A subordinate replied with an ugly look on his face. He could feel the danger here, and when comparing the strength of both sides, their side was clearly the weaker one. They were in an extremely disadvantageous situation.
Qin Wentian glanced over as he slowly began to move closer too. The Southern Phoenix Matriarch and the Evergreen Immortal Emperor both followed behind him. Qing`er and Qingcheng were beside him, and Matriarch Ji and her disciples followed after as well. All these people were actually content to allow Qin Wentian to lead them.
“After waiting for so long, only the people from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire are here to court death?” Qin Wentian emotionlessly spoke. After all, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor himself was here, could the others of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire not come?
“Qin Wentian, if you start a battle now, both sides would have no benefits.” The Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor coldly spoke. They also had plenty of immortal emperors on their side.
“Kill them all without mercy.” Qin Wentian calmly stated, he couldn’t be bothered to waste words with them. In an instant, the monarchs, governors and his other subordinates all radiated emperor light as they launched their attacks. Qin Wentian took a step out, moving across space, directly appearing before the Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor. With a single glance, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor felt the universe twisting as he fell inside a law domain.
The divine weapon behind him radiated a resplendent brilliance. However, Qin Wentian simply walked towards him step by step with no fear at all. “If it wasn’t for me wanting to lure your other allies out, things wouldn’t need to be so troublesome. The Ying Clan was destroyed not long ago. Now, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire shall be exterminated as well.
“The Ying Clan was already destroyed?” The Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor felt his heart pounding violently. Qin Wentian only went there for such a short period of time, the Ying Clan was already destroyed?
“What is your current cultivation realm?” Inside the phantasm domain, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor stared at Qin Wentian as he asked.
“Above the emperor realm.” Qin Wentian replied. With a single glance, the sword might from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor reversed their flows and directly pierced into the Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor’s eyes. Even the burst of light from his emperor-ranked divine weapon reversed its trajectory and blasted into the Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor. He could only scream in pain and agony as his eyes became blinded, his body trembling from fear.
Above the emperor realm, an existence equivalent to ancient emperors…
Today, the Ying Clan was destroyed and the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire was exterminated, their names would soon be removed from the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.
That year, the young man so many major powers gathered in the Evergreen Immortal Empire to kill, was actually still alive and had returned now. Did their decision back then cause their entire empire to be exterminated today?
As long as Qin Wentian acted, there would be no suspense in the battle. Even though Qin Wentian suppressed his cultivation base and used only the strength of a peak-stage immortal emperor, he could still dominate everyone here. Hence, he, in addition to his subordinates, quickly ensured that the reinforcements that just arrived died in droves left and right.
The Skymist Immortal Emperor, the Paragon Sword Emperor and the Taihua Immortal Lord were all terrorized. They started to flee but how could they escape? The return of Qin Wentian made it so that the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms was destined to be cleansed by blood.
Very soon, numerous corpses laid on the ground in the ruins of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Who would have thought that these people were all legendary characters of a peak power that could summon the rain and call for the wind? Even Huang Shatian had died. This heaven chosen that once competed with Qin Wentian, had died just like that, fell by the hands of a monarch even before he could cross blows with Qin Wentian.
A legendary figure rising up would always be fated to step upon numerous corpses. Naturally, the people who died were not only those in the same generation as him, there were also those older ones in the elder generations which he had already surpassed.
The Ying Clan was destroyed, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire exterminated. All these seemed to be merely the beginning. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor didn’t act from the beginning to the end. But when he saw the scene before his eyes, he understood that this immortal realm, alongside with Qin Wentian’s return, would be cleansed by a storm of blood!
