Chapter 1394: Making Excuses
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The anger of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor seemed as though he wanted to burn down the entire sky, as his emperor might threateningly enveloped everyone below.
“Price? Is the price directly killing off my son?!” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor roared with wrath. His palm slammed down, a thunderous boom echoed out as the palaces down below all crumbled into pieces.
“Eastern Sage, you are the one who allowed your sons to join the battlefields, wanting them to temper themselves. Now that they encountered danger, you, as an immortal emperor, actually personally acted? You have already broken the rules of the immortal war. If before this, your subordinate Paragon Sky Roc hadn’t interfered as well, your son Dongsheng Yin would have also died. What qualifications do you have to be angered?” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord blocked the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, his eyes flickering coldly.
As to why emperor-ranked battle wouldn’t occur easily, it was because the moment it did occur, the consequences would be extremely terrifying. It was unknown how many people would be implicated within.
But when Dongsheng Yin died, everyone understood that there would definitely be an emperor-ranked battle today. Also, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would definitely never spare the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. This battle was no longer as simple as who would rule the thirteen prefectures but rather, who would be buried here today. The situation had turned uncontrollable.
This happened because the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had been too overconfident. He believed that this expedition not only could expel the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, but he would also be able to completely destroy them, burying them here. However, as the war continued, reality was far different from what he imagined. The strength of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was so strong that he felt shock, they exceeded his expectations at every turn.
He then decided to send his sons into the battlefields, and even when Dongsheng Kun was blinded and crippled by Qin Wentian despite being under the protection of Paragon Golden Cauldron, he still managed to endure his anger and didn’t act personally. He gave the order to kill Qin Wentian, he wanted Qin Wentian’s death to avenge Dongsheng Kun.
However, not only did Qin Wentian not die, his eldest son Dongsheng Yin, a peak-stage immortal king, was assassinated by an immortal emperor.
In addition, in the past, one of his sons Dongsheng Ting had already died after being killed in the mountains of the God Hand Mountain Manor by a mysterious man. All these added together have already caused his patience to reach his limits. He had always been flaunting his glory that he unified the thirteen prefectures for countless years. How could he withstand seeing his sons dying one by one before his eyes?
Below, the immortal-foundation level battle has already stopped. Even many people fighting in the immortal-king level battles had halted, staring with shock in the air.
The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor didn’t mind any expenses, going all out and wanting to destroy the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. However, this time around, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect could also be ruthless enough, killing Dongsheng Yin. This made it that the grudge between these two powers would never be resolved unless one side was completely wiped out.
“What qualifications do I have to be angered?” The aura of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor grew even more violent. Boundless astral light cascaded down on him, as his gigantic body glimmered with radiance.
“ALL OF YOU WILL DIE!” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor howled in rage. The body of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord also gleamed with boundless light. His aura covered Eastern Sage. “Since this is the case, let’s fight.”
“BOOM!” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor didn’t bother attacking the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. He stretched his hand out as a towering palm imprint directly grabbed towards Qin Wentian, Qi Yu and the others. He wanted to kill these immortal kings responsible for the death of his son first.
“Eastern Sage. You best not forget that you have other sons here too. If you do this, don’t blame me for killing them all.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord coldly spoke. His entire being was crackling with lightning as he moved towards the other sons of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, radiating a violent killing intent.
As the sound of his icy voice rang out, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor stopped his attack. He stared coldly at the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord before roaring, “Everyone, are you guys still intent on watching the drama from afar?”
From an extremely far away place, powerful auras gushed forth. This caused everyone to understand that many of the major powers of the eastern regions were all observing this battle from faraway. In addition, the immortal emperors of those powers had personally arrived, it’s just that they didn’t show themselves.
Right now, numerous figures soared over, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble. These people were all exceedingly famous and powerful characters, they are true hegemons who stood at the peak.
“Eastern Sage, feel anger from embarrassment after being defeated? This doesn’t seemed like your character.” A voice rang out. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s expression was extremely unsightly. The person who spoke was the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. This voice carried with it a hint of mockery. His actions had truly tarnished his reputation of being a hegemon. However, he couldn’t care about it any longer. He had to kill those people today.
“Evergreen. You went crazy just from a suggestion that your daughter be married to the Skymist Immortal Empire and engaged in an emperor-ranked war. While today, someone has already killed my son. Tell me how you think I should react?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor stared at the Evergreen Immortal Emperor as he spoke. Back then in the past, they had a pretty good relationship. After all, they were both hegemons of the eastern regions and were naturally acquainted.
It was only because of Qin Wentian and Qing`er which caused their relationship to disintegrate. Qin Wentian joined the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect while the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was his mortal enemy. Ultimately, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor chose to stand on the opposite side to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and had also participated in that emperor-ranked war to force Evergreen to send his daughter off to marry in the Skymist Immortal Empire. From that war onwards, they were already enemies.
“What qualifications do you have to talk to me about my matters?” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor coldly mocked. He then continued, “You sent your sons to the battlefield. They got killed simply because they are not skilled enough. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself.”
After being mocked, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s countenance turned ugly to the extreme, but he had no way to refute it. He also knew that the Evergreen Immortal Emperor would stand out to mock him simply because of Qin Wentian’s existence. After the adjudication battle, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor had already announced to the world that he would be marrying his daughter to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian could already be considered half his son-in-law.
Also, this son-in-law of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor was so terrifying, using a short few tens of years to rise up in the immortal realms, his fame shaking the entire eastern regions. Now, he was already in the immortal-king realm and could defeat the mid-stage Dongsheng Kun. Such an accomplishment was truly shocking to the extreme.
“Evergreen, you are wrong to say that. Although both their sects are having an immortal war, it’s simply too brazen that an immortal emperor personally acted to kill brother Eastern Sage’s son.” A voice of rebuttal rang out. The person who spoke was clad in violet robes. He was none other than the peak-stage immortal emperor, the Violet Emperor.
Many of the immortal emperors which appeared here, are those who participated in the emperor-ranked war back in the Evergreen Immortal Empire those years ago. This war between the Eastern Sage and Thousand Transformations Immortal Sects was nothing but an extension of that war before.
“If the subordinate of Eastern Sage didn’t interfere, Dongsheng Yin would also have died as well.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor calmly spoke.
“That might not have happened. I only know that an initial-stage immortal king after crippling Dongsheng Kun, actually gave a command to kill Dongsheng Yin. Tell me, how did a mere ant of the junior generation have such courage?” The Violet Emperor quietly spoke, his sharp gaze directly staring at Qin Wentian as a pressure bore down on him.
A mere ant? The him right now shouldn’t be considered an ant right? But even so, he was still extremely weak before the Violet Emperor. These words of the Violet Emperor were no doubt an attempt to shift the anger of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor back onto him.
“To think that an immortal emperor who stands at the peak of the immortal realms would actually employ such a despicable method to deal with an ant.” Qin Wentian mockingly laughed.
“Impudent.” The Violet Emperor stepped out, causing the space to rumble. Even Qin Wentian’s body involuntarily trembled from the might boring down on him.
“Uncultured insignificant being, how dare you speak to your elders this way. Do you believe I can destroy you with a wave of my hand?” The Violet Emperor coldly threatened.
Qin Wentian’s eyes were cold. Seems like the Violet Emperor’s killing intent towards him was extremely strong. Even though he was now an immortal king, he was still too weak in front of an immortal emperor. He had to grow stronger faster. At that time when his cultivation realm caught up to them, who would still dare to speak to him in such a manner?
“Violet Emperor, you are after all a peak-stage immortal emperor. It isn’t too good to threaten a junior like that, right?” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor unhappily spoke.
“What about it? Old brother Evergreen, your daughter isn’t married to him yet but you are already speaking up for your son-in-law?” The Violet Emperor coldly laughed. “In addition, this place isn’t the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Even if it’s you, you don’t have the qualifications to converse with me.”
The Evergreen Immortal Emperor was now at the mid-stage immortal emperor realm, and although he was only a tiny step away from the peak-stage, the distance between him and the Violet Emperor was still immeasurably far. He needed to borrow the aid of the Eternal Evergreen Tree before he could fight against the Violet Emperor.
“What about me? I should be qualified enough am I not?” A voice rang out. Violet Emperor turned his gaze over as his countenance grew unsightly, “You are truly persistent.”
“A peak-tier immortal emperor bullying a junior, can’t someone else say something about it? If a character like you existed during the era of Ancient Emperor Yi, you would be nothing but an insignificant trash. If you speak this way in the presence of him, he most probably would have given you a slap in public.” That newcomer spoke. It turned out that this person was none other than the follower of Ancient Emperor Yi, Emperor Yu.
“Stop using Ancient Emperor Yi to pressure me. You are just a lowly servant of him back then, do you think that makes you superior to others?” This Emperor Yu kept appearing and spoiling his plans, causing the Violet Emperor to be extremely unhappy. But he could do nothing about it as this old fellow was also a peak-stage immortal emperor.
“I don’t feel that I am. It’s just that you cultivated for so much longer and are so much older than him. By saying that he isn’t qualified to converse with you, don’t tell me that you don’t understand the logic of those from the later generations would surely replace those of now? When he finally surpasses you one day, where would you put your face?” Emperor Yu laughed. He then continued, “Tell me, Violet Emperor. Can you even compare to him in cultivation speed?”
The Violet Emperor merely stared at Emperor Yu. Emperor Yu continued, “I’m fated with this junior, and he also has the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Yi with him. Just let me remind you of one thing. You may find it easy to kill him, but I won’t find it difficult to kill your descendants as well.”
“Are you threatening me?” The Violet Emperor coldly spoke to Emperor Yu.
“You threatened him, no? So yes, you are right. I am threatening you.” Emperor Yu casually replied. Their gazes clashed in mid-air generating a huge wave of power that caused chaotic flows around their surroundings.
“Also, according to the rules of the immortal realms, today is the war between the Eastern Sage and Thousand Transformations Immortal Sects. For all the years I’ve been following Ancient Emperor Yi about in the immortal realms in conquest, none would have dared to break the rules by acting against someone below their cultivation realm. Even if this era no longer has an ancient emperor to suppress everyone, since I encountered this today, I will naturally enforce the rules. Those who break it will be punished by death. In an emperor-ranked battle, immortal emperors are forbidden to act against those with lower cultivation bases compared to them.”
Emperor Yu flicked his sleeves and calmly stated.
“Are you not interfering too much?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor coldly stared at Emperor Yu.
“Yes, I love to interfere. So what of it? If you are not happy, fight me.” Emperor Yu icily replied in an incomparably tyrannical manner. This caused countless people to muse silently. This is the true law of the immortal realms. Words are useless, strength is everything!
