Chapter 1026: Reinforcements from the Star River Association
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The immortals stood in the air, each possessing such boundless might that they could easily destroy an entire city with the flick of a finger. Sky Harmony City was so small that the immortals would have no trouble invading it. The stellar martial cultivators were like ants to them—easily exterminated.
The immortals were exalted and supremely powerful, yet Qin Wentian had actually killed over ten immortals with a single strike. How immensely shocking was this scene?
That young genius who'd stepped out of Sky Harmony City dozens of years ago—he now stood at the peak of this world, capable of vanquishing immortals with the flip of a single hand. A violent wave of awe rocked their hearts—heroes could be born anywhere. A young man from Sky Harmony City could actually achieve such unbelievable heights.
In terms of emotions, the people of Sky Harmony City naturally hoped that Qin Wentian would end up the victor. He could truly be considered a legend of their city. He had become its symbol, and now the entire world would think of the name 'Sky Harmony City'. Only one person had achieved such heights in this world, and that person had hailed from Sky Harmony City.
No matter how strong the Star River Association was, it was still an external power.
The Vanquishing Immortal Sword was an immortal technique, and an extremely powerful one. Previously, whenever Qin Wentian used it, he would exhaust all the strength and energy of his body and end up burning his own essence. But now, he was a true immortal and had a perfect, saint-grade immortal foundation. In addition to borrowing the power of Driftsnow City, one could very well imagine the overwhelming might his attacks had become. Even without attacking, his energy fluctuations were enough to injure his opponents.
"LEAVE!" The leader among the immortal-foundation experts gave the command to retreat as their group soared into the clouds, not daring to get too close to the ancient Driftsnow City.
The battle had quickly started, but it also ended quickly as well. In just an instant, the battle erupted to its climax with the death of over ten immortal foundation experts.
The faint gigantic shadow that enveloped Qin Wentian had vanished. His body had also returned to its original size. Clad in a white robe, he swept a cold glance over the fleeing experts of the Star River Association. Most likely, these people had yet to admit defeat. But no matter, he had requested for reinforcements from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, who should be arriving soon.
"What's wrong?" Qin Wentian couldn't help but ask when he saw his close friends staring at him.
His friends were all in a daze, as though they couldn't believe their eyes. Qin Wentian, whose strength was akin to a heavenly god, was actually someone this familiar to them. It all smacked of surrealism.
"Ah, my heart is truly smashed." Fan Le coughed. No matter what, he and Qin Wentian had fought side-by-side back at the Emperor Star Academy. And now he couldn't even catch sight of his back. Qin Wentian was just too powerful—they were no longer at the same level.
"I have no idea how you've cultivated all this time." Fairy Qingmei felt the long age of her years. As for Grand Xia's royal clan they were staring at Qin Wentian as if he were a God. This was none other than their sovereign monarch. How powerful was he? There was no one in this entire world who was a match for him.
"Bos, are there any methods for people to instantly become immortals?" Fatty Fan Le walked to Qin Wentian's side as his eyes gleamed.
"Yes, there's one." Qin Wentian seriously nodded.
"For real? What's the method?" Fatty's eyes gleamed with an even brighter light.
"Let me beat you up, and you'll soon become an 'immortal'." Qin Wentian clenched his fist, emitting a cracking sound as everyone around them started to laugh.
"Everyone, Driftsnow City is very large, so you can choose where you wish to stay. However, try to choose a place near the central core. I'm worried that the energy fluctuations might accidentally affect you during a great battle." Qin Wentian glanced at the others as he spoke. Everyone nodded their heads before dispersing. All of them felt awe in their hearts. This city was not only mobile, it could be used in combat as well.
Right now at Sky Harmony City, countless people stood at high vantage points and stared at the majestic ancient city before them.
"Absolute victory. Qin Wentian has won, and he even killed more than ten immortals!"
"Qin Wentian from the Qin Residence is unrivalled in this world. He's the monarch of Grand Xia, the true king of Chu. And he is someone from our Sky Harmony City."
Many experts sighed in admiration, deep in discussing as they moved around the city. Everyone was caught in a rush of excitement while celebrating Qin Wentian's victory. Cheers resounded throughout Sky Harmony City. With such a character from their city, how could they fail to be proud?
The news of his victory soon circulated around Chu, Grand Xia, and even to the Royal Sacred Region. Everyone knew that the immortals from the Star River Association had died, overwhelmingly suppressed by Qin Wentian. The headquarters of the Star River Association were faced with exceedingly great pressure to succeed.
This victory truly made everyone in this particle world feel Qin Wentian's true strength He really was a legend.
This battle had immensely influenced the masses. For those who worshipped the Star River Association like gods, they felt their hearts wavering. This external power who came from the immortal realms had actually been defeated by Qin Wentian, someone born and bred in this particle world. This meant that the Star River Association couldn't be the absolute hegemon in this world. At the very least, they wouldn't be so long as Qin Wentian was alive.
In various places of this particle world, those who had initially wanted to join the Star River Association were all hesitating now. They chose to continue observing. Now, the Star River Association had already formed a death grudge with Qin Wentian. Neither could live while the other survived, and until the end result was clear, it was better to stay neutral and not be so quick to join the Star River Association.
After this battle, many people started to rush towards Sky Harmony City. This included members of the Emperor Star Academy like Mustang, as well as Chu Mang from the royal palace of Chu. They all had one destination in mind: the ancient Driftsnow City. The city contained many of Qin Wentian's close friends and comrades from this particle world. He felt a formless pressure at knowing that their lives were in his hands. If he was defeated by the Star River Association, the consequences would be unimaginable.
All the powers of Grand Xia were heading to Chu. A group of women in white were flying in the air. These women all exuded an extraordinary aura, radiating hints of a celestial bearing. This was especially so for the woman in the lead. Her face was veiled but from her perfect figure and skin, one could feel that she was a flawless beauty.
"Right now, Qin Wentian is smack dab in the middle of the tempest. The Star River Association is clearly a great power in the immortal realms. Let's take a look at Sky Harmony City, but try to stay out of any trouble," said a woman with a veil over face.
She then continued, "Hey, don't you guys wish to take a look at Qin Wentian? This is the most elite character that has ever appeared in the history of our world. I've never heard of such a young immortal, and more importantly, he's so handsome!" The voice of the woman was filled with mischievousness and a slight hint of affection.
"But, the Star River Association will never stop now. It's very dangerous there," commented someone at the side.
"Don't worry, I'll observe while keeping my distance from the Star River Association, and I won't get involved with the battle. If not, the others will think that I, Lin Xian`er, am taking the initiative to pursue a man!" That woman had a soul-stirring smile on her face as she continued, "Even if he really is the most elite character in the history of our entire particle world, I, Lin Xian`er, will never take the initiative."
"That's fine. We will watch from Sky Harmony City then," said the person beside her in a low voice; she had nothing more to say.
And so, the veiled woman was none other than the number one beauty of the Royal Sacred Region, the holy maiden of the Celestial Maiden Sect, Lin Xian`er. Initially, she wanted to wait until her strength reached a certain level before asking the Medicine Sovereign for help to send her to the immortal realms. Beauty was nothing but trouble. Given her beauty, if she headed to the immortal realms at such a low level of strength, it would only end in calamity.
…..
Sky Harmony City, in an inn near the entrance of the city. One could see the majestic ancient Driftsnow City from the top floor of this inn. It was flooded with people, and Lin Xian`er and her comrades were here as well.
"Can we sit here?" Lin Xian`er stared at an excellent spot near a window as she spoke to the people there. Her eyes could only be described as extremely mesmerizing, and there was a hint of fragility in her air, as though she needed the protection of others. The people at the table instantly stood up and relinquished their seats, "Of course. Fairies, please be seated."
"Thank you." Lin Xian`er smiled. Although her features were obscured by the veil, it still caused the hearts of those people to quicken.
Lin Xian`er stared at the majestic and ancient city as a gentle smile flashed, "Is this the weaponized city? Qin Wentian's hometown should be Sky Harmony City, right?"
"Yes, Qin Wentian is a descendant of the Qin Residence from our Sky Harmony City. He was unable to cultivate during his youth, and so the Bai Clan broke off their marriage engagement. However, Qin Wentian is magnamious and has already resolved the grudges between him and the Bai Clan. His exploits have made him into a legendary character."
"Yes, there's no doubt that Qin Wentian is the legendary character of our Sky Harmony City. He stands at the absolute peak of this entire world."
"Fairies, you must be from some place far away, right? It's impossible to relay all the tales of Qin Wentian's deeds, even if we talked for three days and nights. After the Bai Clan broke off the engagement, he went to the Emperor Star Academy to cultivate, and in the end he decided who the Emperor of Chu should be, and ultimately became the Monarch of Grand Xia. After that, he helped the Medicine Sovereign to destroy the hegemon of this world back then, the Royal Sacred Sect. He is a miracle, a legend."
Everyone mumbled, all talking about the glorious deeds of Qin Wentian.
—BOOM!—
Abruptly, the inn shuddered, causing the hearts of the people inside to tremble as well. The boisterous noise fell to silence.
"What's going on?" Expressions of shock were on the faces of the crowd. At that very moment, a supreme might enveloped the entire area, affecting everyone in Sky Harmony City, and even the entirety of Chu Country. Under the oppressive pressure, all of them felt they had to prostrate before this supreme, unparalleled might.
~bzz~ Driftsnow City suddenly radiated a layer of resplendent light. And in the air, a figure clad in the violet-golden robes of the Star River Association could be seen descending from the sky. This man was the source of the pressure. His hand stretched downwards, and his palm seemed to be capable of obliterating an entire city.
—BANG!— The layer of light shattered as a world-supreme destructive aura descended. That gigantic hand was like the decree of a divinity that wanted to annihilate all before it!
All sounds faded to silence, and time seemed to stop. Everyone stared at this display of power as their hearts shook, feeling fear from the depths of their soul!
