Chapter 967: The Ancient City Beneath the Stars

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“What is this place?” Qin Wentian glanced at his surroundings. He was on an ancient battle platform in this illusory-like world. Before them were two immense greater demons, it was a situation that was terrifying to the extreme.

One of the greater demons was the primordial demonic beast, Taowu. It had a human face and the body of a tiger, and it radiated a terrifying feeling of vengeance, as if it was death incarnate. A single glance was sufficient to fill one’s heart with panic and terror.

The other greater demon was a demonic beast with twin horns that resembled a berserk ox. However, the horns were draconic horns, and its hooves were incomparably muscular. It was standing upright like a human, but exuded an extremely imposing aura. Its violet claws could easily shred humans apart.

“Qing`er, be careful!” Qin Wentian’s aura fluctuated. Two demonic beasts had appeared. Was it because the two of them had entered?

Taowu wielded a trident as its weapon. An aura of untold deadliness seemed to gather around it. Its silhouette flickered as it appeared on the platform, charging forward with a domineering strike. A wave of energy that seemed to originate from hell burst out, causing a blood-red light to envelop the entire platform.

Holy lotuses manifested around Qing`er. A multicolored light radiated from her, shooting towards the Taowu. She stabbed out her finger at the same instant, causing spatial energy to transform into numerous sharp swords that shot towards her target.

—RUMBLE!— The incomparably deadly trident smashed forth, destroying everything in its wake. It was like a symbol of death.

Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand appeared. His entire body glowed with terrifying light as he stomped forward to meet the greater demon. Boundless runic light flashed through the sky as his constellation appeared, shining resplendently in this illusory world. He blasted out with a palm strike powered by the God’s Hand, his attack possessing a startling might as it slammed against the Trident of Taowu. A surge of destructive energy gushed over, completely destroying the palm imprint, and Qin Wentian intuitively sensed the horrifying might of the greater demon.

—BOOM!— The Ox with the draconic horns lunged out, causing the battle platform to shake unceasingly. Its hand grabbed outwards, instantly appearing before Qin Wentian. It tried to grab hold of Qin Wentian’s comparably smaller figure so it could rip him apart.

Qin Wentian blasted out another palm strike in anger. That fearsome greater demon ox possessed a boundless divine strength, and it forcibly shattered the palm imprint of the God’s Hand. After which, it succeeded in pushing forth and grabbing Qin Wentian with its hand. The strength it possessed was simply unbeatable. That was the power of a greater demon.

—ROAR!— An earth-shattering roar rang out as the ox demon tried to rip Qin Wentian into pieces. However, a thunderous rumbling sound echoed as Qin Wentian’s body expanded, circulating with boundless runic light. A pure-white flame shimmered around his body, but despite the ox’s failure to rip apart his body, Qin Wentian was still in extreme pain from the attack. The strength of these demons was simply inconceivable.

Thick rings of smoke drifted out from the ox’s nostrils as its large saucer-like eyes stared at Qin Wentian, filled with a malevolence that seemed to originate from the primordial era. Qin Wentian’s body shone with resplendent runic light, exuding a sense of terrifying suppressive pressure that gushed forth in waves. Rumbling sounds rang out and the greater demon was actually forced back a step. After that, Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand transformed into the sharp talons of a great roc, ripping forward to destroy everything as it raked through the chest of the greater demon.

—ROAR, ROAR!— The greater demon let out heaven-rumbling roars. Its powerful palms slammed out once more to grab at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand brimmed with overwhelming suppressive might, meeting his opponent blow for blow. The man and the demon furiously clashed, shaking the heavens and earth with their fight. Qin Wentian discovered that this greater demon had the same cultivation level as him, and that Taowu shared the same cultivation level as Qing`er. This seemed to be an effect of the strange law energy here, suppressing the greater demons to their level.

And at this very moment, a buzzing sound echoed out. On the ancient battle platform, Nanfeng Yunxi and the others appeared. At the same time they arrived, more greater demons manifested in the illusory world. A moment later, a fearsome wave of demonic might swept throughout the realm.

~RUMBLE~ The newly-arrived greater demons instantly lunged at Nanfeng Yunxi and the others. Nanfeng Yunxi immediately activated her flames, which blazed around her body as phoenix wings appeared behind her back. The phantom of an ancient phoenix shrouded her, manifesting an image of a phoenix that fought valiantly against a greater demon at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon. Her opponent was a black-colored wild avian, shimmering with an abundance of death qi.

Chaos erupted on the battle platform. Even Little Rascal’s appearance caused a greater demon to manifest. Little Rascal transformed into its battleform, fighting savagely against its opponent.

“We won’t be gaining any advantages if we fight so haphazardly. Let’s join forces. Me and Nanfeng will be the main attackers. Qing`er and Hua Taixu will act as our support to control and restrict their movements. Qingxuan, Mengchen, and Little Rascal will distract the greater demons by moving around the platform to cause mayhem and chaos!” Qin Wentian roared. After that, the seven of them retreated to another area, and stood in their positions. Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi stood in the center. Qing`er stood beside Qin Wentian, while Hua Taixu stood beside Nanfeng Yunxi, smoothly making up for their individual weaknesses. As for Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan, and Little Rascal, they stood in a scattered formation spaced to the far left and right.

Qing`er’s black hair fluttered in the wind. Boundless spatial energy transformed into runes that manifested a prison, locking down the area in front of them. Hua Taixu’s samsara eyes had turned peculiar, causing quite a few eighth-level ascendant demons to instantly sink into a daze as they roared in confusion.

Qin Wentian’s immense body naturally added to his power. His God’s Hand manifested a world-shaking spear; the spear tip shimmered with a pure-white flame born from his bloodline power as his demonic qi towered up into the sky. His spear contained an overwhelming suppressive might, able to tyrannically sweep across everything underneath the heavens.

Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan, and Little Rascal stepped out from the side, immediately using their most tyrannical attacks. These greater demons were incredibly strong in their defense—ordinary attacks could do nothing to them.

A towering heavenly fire erupted forth from Nanfeng Yunxi, setting the demons ablaze. Qin Wentian’s 100-meter gigantic body stabbed out with a spear, aiming for an eighth-level greater demon ascendant. Upon seeing the spear aiming towards it, the greater demon let out a heaven-shaking roar, but right before it could even react, the destructive spear shone with a brilliantly dazzling glow. It pierced directly through its body, completely disregarding its defensive power.

The destructive might immediately drilled into its body, ravaging the insides of the greater demon and shattering everything within. And with a thunderous boom, the greater demon exploded, returning to the void.

“What an overwhelming attack.” Nanfeng Yunxi froze slightly. However, she didn’t stop to hesitate as she kept up the barrage of attacks. Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand erupted forth once more, resulting in the spear piercing through the head of another greater demon. For those at the same cultivation level as him, despite the fact that they might be supreme primordial greater demons, none were able to survive under his strength. They were all insta-killed by Qin Wentian.

And although these greater demons were powerful, they didn’t understand the concept of joining forces. Under the alliance of Qin Wentian and his companions, the greater demons were vanquished one-by-one and finally, the last of them exploded, disappearing into the void.

“These greater demons are all so powerful. If one chose not to combine forces and tried to fight them alone, only those experts who are at the true peak under immortality would stand a chance to defeat them,” Nanfeng Yunxi quietly remarked. Qin Wentian and the others nodded in agreement.

“Luckily, we entered early. If we’d entered after Senior Brother and Qing`er finished their battle, it would have been even tougher for us to win,” Jun Mengchen mused. As the sound of his voice faded away, the platform was covered by a layer of intense light, which also enveloped them within. With a ringing sound, the battle platform vanished, alongside Qin Wentian and his companions.

When they reappeared again, they were already on solid ground. Their legs stayed rooted at the spot, and they stared at their surroundings as great waves rumbled their hearts.

This was the true Antiquity City that lay beneath the starry skies. Despite the passage of countless years, its majesty was still as vibrant as ever. However, aside from looking ancient, the city seemed to be wrecked in some places, as though it had suffered damage of an inconceivable magnitude some time in the past. Most probably, several supreme characters that were ancient emperors at their peak had also arrived at this place before, and had gone all out as they fought against each other.

Somewhere nearby, the sounds of something bubbling echoed out. Qin Wentian and his companions turned their attention over in its direction, only to see a pool filled with blood. This pool of blood seemed to sense their presence—the blood within the pool churned as boundless blood runes surfaced, astonishing Qin Wentian’s group.

“This must be the blood essence of a supreme expert. Despite the passage of countless years, it has yet to dry up. It’s turned into a pool of blood instead, and doesn’t seem to have lost any of its power.” Nanfeng Yunxi stared at the blood pool as her heart shook. “This pool of blood…for those with weaker cultivations, it can be used as a tempering agent to refine one’s body. However, it’s unknown whether that individual would be able to withstand the rigorous cleansing from being baptised by the energy within that blood.”

After stepping into the immortal foundation realm, everyone would experience their entire body undergoing a transformation. For immortal kings and immortal emperors, their entire bodies were filled with boundless essence energy. After death, their bones turned into rune bones, and their blood would contain the terrifying power of their bloodline and essence. For those who had reached that level, unless they met an opponent stronger than them, their flesh would never decay and their blood would never dry up.

Little Rascal’s silhouette flickered as its gigantic body rushed directly into the blood pool.

~ROAR~ The blood pool started to bubble intensely, and Little Rascal let out a startled roar. Terrifying blood runes gushed into its body, as though trying to refine it, and Little Rascal suddenly started to shine with an intense, blood-colored light.

A moment later, a fearsome vortex appeared. Little Rascal opened its maw and furiously devoured the blood energy, trace by trace.

“He’s using the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor to absorb the energy of this blood pool.” Nanfeng Yunxi’s gaze flickered. Little Rascal’s fleshy body looked extremely terrifying, but it almost collapsed during the baptism of the blood pool. It was enduring immense pain, and its entire body was marked with blood runes, giving it an exceptionally fearful appearance. Despite the pain, Little Rascal continued to endure the baptism, allowing that surge of blood energy to corrode its body. Some time later, its body grew tougher, actually turning into something resembling a crystalline exterior, sparkling and translucent.

“It looks like Little Rascal will soon evolve.” A look of joy appeared on Qin Wentian’s face. Little Rascal was gradually maturing to the later phases of its growth!

Note:

Taowu (梼杌) – represents Ignorance. Sometimes described as resembling a tiger or boar. It spreads ignorance among humans.
