The Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall’s intentions were too clear, wanting to swallow the entire Eastern Tomb for themselves. Three out of the four remnant powers have already submitted.
The Blackmetal Emperor Sect, was the only sect out of the four that focused primarily on weaponsmithing, they are also the power that held the most attraction for the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall. After all, as peak powers, they wouldn’t lack experts but they were indeed inferior when it comes to weapon forging. If they could gain control of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect, it would only be of tremendous benefits to them.
The experts of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect all fell into silence. Given such a situation, how could they disagree?
“What? We don’t need your Blackmetal Emperor Sect to submit, we just want to unite the four remnant powers and head to a better future where all of us would still have equal standing. Are you not willing?” The voice of the leader of the Sacred Sun Sect turned cold, adding to the pressure.
“This matter is a major one, we cannot make a decision. Our sect leader is still out roaming the world, and if he doesn’t return, no one else would have the authority to make this decision.” That old man spoke, his words causing the experts from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall to frown. The sect leader of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect was truly very troublesome. He is rarely within the sect because he wanted to act as a deterrence against the peak powers swallowing them up. As long as he is out there somewhere, he would present a threat that everyone has to take note of.
“Then, just summon him back to make a decision.” The person from the Sky Bell Cult coldly spoke.
“Our sect leader is like the divine dragon, appearing whenever he wants to. How can we find him so easily?” That old elder from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect replied. Everyone here was an extraordinary character, how would they be willing to bow down.
This space turned silent as the atmosphere grew somewhat tense.
“Since this is the case, just treat it like I’ve never said anything before. You guys can continue.” The leader from the Sacred Sun Sect grimly spoke, his eyes flashing with a terrifying sun-like light. After that, he retracted his gaze and stepped back. A moment later, the three other remnant powers all had cold smiles on their faces. An expert from the Sky Bell Cult stated, “Since this is the case, we can only bring away the saint children and holy maidens from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect first. When the Blackmetal Emperor returns and makes a decision, we will discuss about the other stuff then.”
“The saint childs and holy maidens are the hope of my sect, how can we let you bring them away?” That old elder snorted, causing the tension to build up as both sides were prepared to draw their swords, in a state of mutual hostility.
“BOOM!” The sound of a bell chime rang out as an expert stepped forth. His body was like a bell-type divine weapon and runes could be seen circulating around the surface of his flesh. The bell chimes continued, like the melody of the Great Dao, emitting from his body. The sound waves transformed into a heavy pressure which bore down on the experts here.
“Zhongxu.” The eyes of everyone flashed. This man was Saint Child Zhongxu, from the Sky Bell Cult. He was very powerful and has entered the holy temple ruins and received a baptism before.
“Since this is the case, I can only invite the saint children and holy maidens out to give me some guidance.” After Zhongxu spoke, two other experts from the Divine Inscriptions Palace and Vajra Sect stepped out as well. Divine inscriptions and runes circulated around that expert from the Divine Inscriptions Palace, forming a formation that produced boundless might. For that expert from the Vajra Sect, his gaze was like a titan. Terrifying golden light radiated from him, his body also produced the ringing sound of steel, causing the eardrums of everyone to vibrate from the force.
“Xiao Yu of the Divine Inscriptions Palace and Reverend Fa Nu of the Vajra Sect.” The expressions of the people from the Blackmetal Emperor Palace all turned unsightly. These three challengers were all extremely powerful, among the strongest geniuses at the peak of the remnant powers. They were all saint children characters of their respective sects.
“Since the Blackmetal Emperor Sect thinks so highly of themselves and views with contempt about reuniting with us, we can only request for a battle.” Xiao Yu icily spoke, and as his voice rang out, the light from the runes around him transformed into a giant cauldron that could suppress everything.
The three remnant powers came together, they naturally had the advantage in terms of numbers. However, they only sent out three experts. Clearly, they were giving the Blackmetal Emperor Sect a chance. If they fought a large-scale battle, there would be no hope for the Blackmetal Emperor Sect at all.
But these three experts they sent out were the most elite immortal kings among them. If they wanted to win, the Blackmetal Emperor Sect naturally could only send out their own saint children and holy maidens. If they didn’t send out an immortal king on the same level as their opponents, they wouldn’t have any hope at all.
“The combat prowess of these three are all immensely strong and their paths of cultivation are similar to me, using their understanding of law-attribute runes and divine inscriptions as the base to enter the immortal king realm. In addition, their attainments in this field are all extremely deep.” Qin Wentian glanced at the experts from these three remnant powers. He could sense their terrifying combat prowess, there was no way ordinary immortal kings will be able to defeat them.
At this moment, a saint child from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect stepped forth in response. Law runes circulated around him, his entire being was like a sharp sword, radiating killing intent.
“Since this is the case, let me finish you first.” Zhongxu laughed as he flew into the sky. The saint child from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect followed after. Their auras clashed in the air, producing dazzling light.
Bell chimes resounded through the sky, Zhongxu manifested many ancient bells that produced sound waves, engulfing the entire space, capable of destroying everything in this world.
“The people from our Blackmetal Emperor Sect are naturally weaker in terms of combat due to us spending the majority of our time on weaponsmithing. By sending out three elite saint children for this combat, are you guys not going too far?” The old elder from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect coldly spoke.
“We are all remnant powers of Eastern Tomb. Since you guys admit that you are inferior, you all should be eliminated and submit to the peak powers like us.” The saint child of the Divine Inscriptions Palace domineeringly spoke, causing the expressions of people from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect to turn unsightly. Another saint child then stepped out, flying up into the air.
“Hmph.” Xiao Yu of the Divine Inscriptions Palace coldly laughed, shooting up into the sky as well, rushing towards his opponent.
Reverend Fa Nu still stood in the air, no one seemed to be willing to fight against him. Fa Nu was a mid-stage immortal king with extremely terrifying combat prowess. He was someone exceptionally famous in the entire Eastern Tomb Immortal City.
“Let me deal with him.” Feng Qianxue moved out, her beautiful figure flying into the air. Fa Nu glanced at her as the golden light from his body radiated forth. “Fighting against Holy Maiden Qianxue? I will naturally show mercy.”
As he spoke, he flew up and slammed out with a fist directly. This fist transformed into a diamond buddhic vajra that could suppress everything. It then slammed a giant palm that could blot out the sky towards Feng Qianxue.
Qin Wentian glanced at the three battles. The three enemies all unleashed their law domains, causing the entire space to be filled with a stifling pressure. Out of the three battles, the Blackmetal Emperor Sect most probably didn’t have any advantage at all. Each of the three remnant powers sent out their peak elites for this combat. They would naturally be superior.
For the three enemies, Fa Nu from the Vajra Sect was the most fearsome. A dharmic idol appeared behind him as his law domain expanded. With a breath, dao runes manifested in his domain, capable of killing everything.
Although Feng Qianxue’s strength was also very powerful, she was in a difficult situation when faced with Fa Nu’s attacks. She wasn’t strong enough to win against him.
Finally, a runic glow appeared around Fa Nu’s feet. He sped through the air and slammed out with a palm brimming with titanic might. Feng Qianxue put in all her effort to defend but she was ruthlessly knocked back as she fell from the air while coughing out blood.
“Qianxue!” Feng Zhu roared, soaring up into the air.
“Stop there!” Another person from the Vajra Sect coldly snorted. A golden palm appeared in the sky, blocking Feng Zhu from advancing.
“BANG!” With a loud boom, that giant palm shattered. At this moment, a figure with movements akin to a great roc shot through the air, catching Feng Qianxue with one hand while blasting out a gigantic palm imprint with the other, clashing head-on with Fa Nu’s giant palm. A thunderous echo rumbled, Qin Wentian borrowed the force to retreat in the direction of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect. He then glanced at Feng Qianxue and asked, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Feng Qianxue’s face was pale, there were traces of blood at the corners of her lips as her aura fluctuated.
“It’s this man again.” That immortal king who was defeated by Qin Wentian before, had killing intent in his eyes. “Isn’t he an outsider, this is an intimate matter between the remnant powers but why is he forcibly interfering? Blackmetal Emperor Sect, how would you all deal with him?”
The people from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect stared at Qin Wentian in bewilderment. They didn’t expect Qin Wentian’s speed to actually be so fast. His movements were like a true great roc, capable of moving with lightning speed.
“There’s actually an outsider interfering with the internal matters of the remnants powers of Eastern Tomb Holy Temple. Should we kill him?” That immortal king from the Sacred Sun Sect spoke again, his tone extremely glacial.
“The internal matters of the remnant powers of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple? If this is the case, are you all not outsiders as well? Why is the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall here? According to your words, shouldn’t you guys be killed? Why are you still barking so loudly, hand over your lives now.” Qin Wentian sneered.
“Impudent!” The leader of the Sacred Sun Sect stepped out, causing the earth near him to crack from the fury of his flames.
Everyone naturally understood Qin Wentian’s words, including the people from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect. However, although they understood, none of them dared to say it out loud in the face of the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall. By saying this, Qin Wentian was simply smacking their faces. Wasn’t he courting death?
“This man has insulted my Sacred Sun Sect. Is he someone from your Blackmetal Emperor Sect?” That leader of the Sacred Sun Sect no longer looked at Qin Wentian. He turned his gaze to the old elder of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect.
The old elder glanced at Qin Wentian, he didn’t know what to reply.
“An outsider interfering in our internal matters. Your Blackmetal Emperor Sect better handle this appropriately and give us a good reply.” An expert from the Sky Bell Cult coldly spoke, threatening the Blackmetal Emperor Sect, wanting them to deal with Qin Wentian.
“He isn’t an outsider.” At this moment, Feng Qianxue spoke, causing everyone to turn to her.
Only to see Feng Qianxue hugging Qin Wentian’s arm while leaning against him. “He is the man I’m in love with. When he saw that I was injured, he naturally would be infuriated.”
Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed when he heard that but he didn’t say anything. The Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall were too domineering, directing the three other remnant powers, wanting to capture the saint children and holy maidens of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect. Right now, the Blackmetal Emperor Sect was really treading on thin ice, they were in extremely desperate straits.
As the voice of Feng Qianxue faded, many gazes with killing intent turned to Qin Wentian. There were many experts among the three remnant powers who were fond of Feng Qianxue. But now, Feng Qianxue was actually throwing herself into his embrace, no longer as pure or as holy as before. These people couldn’t help but feel jealousy and hatred for Qin Wentian.
“Everyone, how about giving our sect a month worth of time. We have to report this to our sect leader.” That old elder from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect spoke.
“A month is too long. Seven days. I want an answer within seven days.” The leader from the Sacred Sun Sect icily spoke.
“Fine, seven days then.” That old elder was helpless, he could only nod in agreement.
“Great. Since this is the case, we will remain here for the next seven days. Everyone, let’s return first.” The leader from the Sacred Sun Sect spoke to the experts from the three other remnant powers. Fa Nu, and many other experts all shot a cold glance at Qin Wentian, radiating their killing intent. Fa Nu transmitted his voice to Qin Wentian, “I’ll take your dog life after seven days.”
As he spoke, he turned and departed. The other experts from the three remnant powers all left as well!
