Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Tang Sheng, the disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm were also under cover in the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and has entered the sacred academy. His cultivation base was very high, at the peak of Immortal Foundation and was currently attempting to break through into the immortal king realm.
Any disciples from the Heavenly Talisman Realm could be considered geniuses at the peak of the immortal realms. At the same cultivation level, it was tough for them to encounter defeat.
The only exception was in this sacred academy. Although one was a disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm, it was impossible for them to be successful in every endeavor simply because the supreme geniuses here were all true elites. They represented those who stood at the very pinnacle of immortal-foundation in the entire immortal realms.
Lei Ba was undoubtedly a demon-level character among supreme geniuses. His personality was incomparably tyrannical and even had the title Son of the Thundergod. He was a leader among the immortal-foundation experts from his sect. Right now, he was already at the eighth-level of immortal foundation and was extremely powerful. Even the disciple from the Heavenly Talisman Realm, Tang Sheng, who was a level higher, was obstructed by him.
"You guys have already been defeated and were defeated so miserably?" Lei Ba stared at Tang Sheng as he spoke.
"Is this the so-called arranged battle you spoke of?" Tang Sheng glanced at him. There were experts from the Thundergod Hall and the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire allying together to fight against them. How could they not be defeated?
For example, the opponent Jun Mengchen was fighting against, was one of the three leading supreme geniuses of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Huang Youdi. And as his name stated, being able to match with anyone under the heavens.
Although Huang Youdi's cultivation wasn't high, in reality, he was at the fourth-level when he entered the academy but now, he was already at the sixth level. Such talent was naturally extraordinary and in reality, his cultivation speed was the fastest among the three great leaders among the immortal-foundation level of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. Right now, Huang Wudi has already stepped into the ninth level of immortal-foundation but everyone knew that in the future, Huang Youdi's accomplishments would surely exceed Huang Wudi.
Currently, Jun Mengchen's cultivation base was at the fourth-level. His improvements were very fast in the sacred academy but since his opponent was Huang Youdi, a supreme genius as well that was two levels higher than him, how could he win?
The Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire was a peak-tier power at the Central Regions of the immortal realms. It has been established for countless of years and had incredibly deep foundations. The secret art they cultivated - the Nine Emperors Classics, was known as a book of wonder in the immortal realms, containing boundless might. In their empire, geniuses were as common as the clouds and in the immortal-foundation level, the most outstanding three were all naturally incomparably resplendent.
Huang Wudi, whose name meant invincibility.
Huang Youdi, whose name meant that he was able to match against all under the heavens. Huang Youdi was even more outstanding compared to Huang Wudi who fought against Jia Nantian back then a long time ago when they first stepped into the sacred academy.
Hence, although Jun Mengchen's combat prowess was shockingly strong as well, he still had no way to defeat Huang Youdi. Very swiftly, he was injured and even coughed out blood. He stared at his opponent and spoke in anger, "I'm not willing to accept this."
"Why not?" Huang Youdi crossed his arms, exuding an incomparable arrogance.
"If I was at the sixth-level as well, what does your arrogance now count for when faced against me?" Jun Mengchen coldly spoke.
"So, your cultivation base is lower? So what of it? Let me ask you again. The daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, who does she belong to?" Huang Youdi stepped out, akin to a human emperor lording over the world, brimming with an unexcelled might and shimmering with an emperor glow.
"Princess Qing`er is naturally the woman of my senior brother. In the future, she will be his wife. No matter how many millions of times you ask this, my answer will still be the same." Jun Mengchen coldly spoke. There was a conflict between him and Huang Youdi, and this, was none other than the cause of it.
"What garbage can your senior brother be considered as?" Huang Youdi spoke in cold arrogance. "Since you still refuse to change your ways today, it seems that I can only beat you until you submit."
"Princess Qing`er and my senior brother are both deeply in love with each other, even the Evergreen Immortal Emperor has silently agreed to them being together. If you want me to acknowledge a falsehood, how laughable would that be? So what if you are temporarily stronger than me? Your words have no logic."
"Logic?" Huang Youdi laughed. "In this world, there's still someone who dares to speak of logic? How ridiculous is that? Could it be that you don't know that in our world, might makes right. Strength is logic."
"Lei Ba earlier said that he wanted to pursue Princess Qing`er but now, he actually bowed out of his own accord. Do you think this is because of logic?" Huang Youdi directly spoke, not giving Lei Ba any face. Lei Ba's countenance stiffened but upon thinking of the background this young man had, he decided to continue to remain silent.
"Since my elder brother is fond of Princess Qing`er, she would naturally become his woman, my royal sister-in-law. No one can doubt this point. As for your senior brother, who the hell is he?" Huang Youdi slowly spoke, when he spoke about his senior brother, an expression of reverence could be seen in those lofty and proud eyes of his.
When Huang Youdi spoke of his elder brother, the look of reverence in his eyes naturally wasn't referring to Huang Wudi. Because, his own talent was already higher than Huang Wudi.
The person that could cause Huang Youdi to show such respect, was naturally someone even more outstanding than he was. A supreme character with perfect potential, able to achieve great heights when cultivating their empire's Nine Emperors Classic.
There were many experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire standing behind Huang Youdi. After Huang Youdi spoke, an expression of 'as it should be,' appeared on their faces as though the words spoken by Huang Youdi, was nothing but the truth of this world. There was no reason to doubt it.
Since his senior brother fell for Qing`er, Qing`er naturally would become the woman of his elder brother.
"In the future, you will know what sort of character my senior brother is." Jun Mengchen coldly spoke with his fists clenched tightly, incomparably enraged.
It's rumored that half a year ago, Huang Youdi's elder brother, a prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire has once encountered Huang Wudi and the others of his empire in the Sky Connecting Realm and said to them that Qing`er was pretty good.
From then on, the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire announced to everyone that the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, Princess Qing`er, was a woman which that prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire was fond of. Nobody could profane her beauty.
Lei Ba initially said arrogantly that he wanted to pursue the woman of Qin Wentian but because of a single sentence spoken by that prince, he announced that he would voluntarily give it up.
However, Jun Mengchen wasn't willing to accept this. Princess Qing`er was the woman whom his senior brother was in love with. Naturally, she wouldn't be the woman of that prince from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.
Jun Mengchen's reluctance to accept this was gradually known to Huang Youdi. Huang Youdi wanted Jun Mengchen to change his words, it was not acceptable if Jun Mengchen refused to. How tyrannical was that?
"No matter what sort of character he is, if he appears before me, I will make him voluntarily announce to the entire world that he has nothing to do with Princess Qing`er." Huang Youdi spoke arrogantly. His elder brother only said a single sentence, however this single sentence was already sufficient because simply, he was his elder brother.
"So domineering." Many in the surroundings were peak geniuses of the immortal realms, including those from the Central Regions. As the same generation, they naturally knew which geniuses in their generation were the truly outstanding ones. There were actually quite a few from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire who ranked among them and this Huang Youdi was really as domineering as spoken of in the rumors. He had nothing in his eyes, only the figure of his elder brother.
Huang Wudi was already very arrogant but Huang Youdi outdid him in that aspect. He also was able to stir up trouble because he simply could afford to. However, the vast majority of others wouldn't be able to afford offending him.
Qin Wentian had already arrived. Although he didn't personally witness the battle, he heard the arrogant voice of Huang Youdi. From the words of that beautiful maiden from the Chasing Sun Immortal Empire, Qin Wentian also knew what sort of character this Huang Youdi was like.
Because there were too many people here and Jun Mengchen was drawing the attention away, the people here still have not recognized the fact that Qin Wentian has already arrived.
"The elder brother in his words must be cultivating in the other sacred academies, he should be in the same location as the woman you like. However, Huang Youdi simply announced to the world something like that because of a single sentence spoken by his elder brother. Just this single sentence made Lei Ba from the Thundergod Hall voluntarily give up. So right now, you should be clearer regarding the words I spoke to you before, right?" That female maiden transmitted her voice.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. The female beside him smiled, she has not seen a single hint of anger in Qin Wentian's eyes at all and she couldn't help feeling a little curious. For anyone, if they heard that they had to announce to the world that they have nothing to do with the person they like, they most probably should be infuriated right?
Qin Wentian clearly had the reason to be angry but so what of it? Could it be that he has to react by causing his aura to gush forth violently to vent his anger?
"You said that that day was a misunderstanding but no matter what, you did indeed stand together with that lecherous monk and fought against us. That is the truth, I'm sure you won't blame me for bringing you here. If you can step out right now, the grudge between us will instantly be neutralized." The female maiden from the Chasing Sun Immortal Empire calmly stared ahead. She was thinking that with regards to the Qin Wentian in her perspective, how could he not take that step?
"Well it's very fair." Qin Wentian nodded. She didn't guess wrongly, Qin Wentian did indeed step out.
Staring at Qin Wentian soaring up into the air, flying towards the airspace of the ancient palace, his actions naturally garnered plenty of attention to himself. At the instant Lei Ba saw him, the force of thunder crackled violently as bolts of lightning flashed in his eyes.
Jun Mengchen also turned his gaze to Qin Wentian as a look of excitement flashed in his eyes. After so many years, the magnificence his senior brother exuded was as resplendent as ever. Right now, the aura from Qin Wentian was immeasurably deep and through these thirty plus years, Qin Wentian's strength had undoubtedly undergone a huge improvement. He knew his senior brother wouldn't have wasted time idling about.
When they last met, Jun Mengchen was captured and tortured by Chu Qingyi and Lei Ba. This was the first time they truly met each other in thirty plus years.
"Senior brother!" Jun Mengchen calmly called out. Despite it being over thirty years, these two words 'senior brother,' were still called out as naturally as before.
"The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire stared at Qin Wentian. Given how Jun Mengchen referred to this man as his senior brother, as well as the fluctuation of Lei Ba's aura when he saw him, they instantly knew who this newcomer was.
"How will you make me announce to the entire world?" Qin Wentian asked in an indifferent tone as he walked over and stood beside Jun Mengchen. He stared at Huang Youdi with a look colder than ice in his eyes.
Countless gazes were all concentrated on him at this moment. Staring at his figure that was exuding magnificence, the princess from the Chasing Sun Immortal Empire couldn't help but to have a smile in her eyes when she saw what attitude Qin Wentian had when facing against a prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. She then silently mused, "My judgement isn't wrong, he is truly a man of great pride."
However for the others like Lei Ba, clearly wasn't so.
"The rules of the sacred academy have changed many years ago and you have also hidden yourself well. Now that you dare to show yourself out in public, I wonder what cultivation level you have reached." Lei Ba coldly spoke while stepping out. His tone contained a strong hint of contempt as well as killing intent.
Back then, that single sentence from Chu Qingyi was like a blow of the thundergod, crushing his heart. He had no way to forget that humiliation. The him then had exuded unexcelled arrogance, with no one in his eyes. Let alone today...whereby he had grown even stronger. Qin Wentian has never been able to be his opponent, and was merely a target he wanted to humiliate and destroy.
Simply because, Qin Wentian didn't even have the qualifications to be his opponent!
