Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian stared at Nanfeng Aoxue as he said coldly, "You are even more impudent."
As the sound of his voice faded, his immortal foundation gushed forth with immortal energy, flowing into his palms. Very swiftly, Qin Wentian's palms shimmered with a towering runic light that exuded fearsome might. Thunderous rumbling sounds echoed, his form grew larger and larger, resulting in the power of his palms growing even more intense. Although the God's Hand he cultivated wasn't the full complete version, it was still Ancient Emperor Yi's secret art. The power it was capable of generating could only be described as tyrannical.
Nanfeng Aoxue folded ancient imprints with her hands as the fire around her grew more intense, wanting to incinerate everything. She was like a phoenix that descended and in her surroundings, an ocean of fire could be seen. She was completely enveloped in boundless flames as numerous terrifying phantoms of phoenixes appeared, circling around her. When she stared at Qin Wentian, her eyes gleamed with sharpness, terrifying to the extreme.
"KILL!" Nanfeng Aoxue shot out the ancient imprints, causing the numerous phoenixes to lunge over toward Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian saw the phoenixes, his palms shimmered with boundless might, infused with energy from the law of destruction as he blasted out. Numerous great rocs materialized, their baleful auras sweeping across the skies, colliding together with the phoenixes as a cacophony of screeches filled the air.
"Bzz~" A wave of heat directly swept over. Nanfeng Aoxue appeared right before Qin Wentian. Her phoenix wings tyrannically slashed forth, aiming for him. Those terrifying phoenix wings were sharper than even swords.
Qin Wentian didn't choose to retreat. On the contrary, he stepped forth slightly as his immortal foundation thrummed, erupting forth with waves of power. Constellations flashed above him, transforming the space into a world of dreams. His God's Hand wielded an ancient halberd, ferociously stabbing out, smashing into the phoenix wings. A burst of incomparable might actually pierced through the wings, Nanfeng Aoxue could only hurriedly retreat for fear of taking more damage. A moment later, she floated in the air, her wings fluttering gently while her expression grew even colder than before.
She was at the third-level of immortal foundation. How mighty was that? Her strength wasn't something a character at the first-level would be able to compare with. However she, who was at the third-level, found all her attacks easily blocked by Qin Wentian and she couldn't even penetrate his defense. She had no way to step on this road to nirvana taken by Nanfeng Yunxi.
At this moment, Qin Wentian stood at the entrance. His gigantic form blocked the path, his palms both activated God's Hand and there were even gigantic roc wings behind his back. He appeared to be like a heavenly god, intend on blocking the might of ten thousand with himself alone. His eyes gleamed with a terrifying light, causing one to sink within their depths.
At this moment, Nanfeng Xihua and Nanfeng Ji respectively finally caught up. The comprehension ability of these two were slightly inferior but they weren't slowed by much. When they arrived here and discovered all three roads to nirvana were already taken, their expressions all turned extremely ugly to behold.
"Nanfeng Xihua, Nanfeng Ji. Both of you help me to seize this ancient road. After I succeed, I will tell Zong Zhan and my other helpers to aid you guys in seizing the other nirvana roads." Nanfeng Aoxue transmitted her voice to both of them, she didn't say it out in the open. Clearly, she wanted to avoid Qin Wentian joining forces with Jiang Ziyu and Kong Ye to stop them. If they did so, she would no longer have a chance. She could only use this method.
Nanfeng Xihua and Nanfeng Ji furrowed their brows as they contemplated. However, Nanfeng Aoxue continued, "Time is short, if the both of you hesitate any longer, we wouldn't have any hope left. Let's cripple this Qin Wentian and get your helpers to fight against the other two helpers of Nanfeng Yunxi. We will use the fastest method to make Nanfeng Yunxi's camp lose their combat strength."
Nanfeng Xihua and Nanfeng Ji exchanged glances. After that, they transmitted their intents to their helpers and actually grouped together, advancing towards Qin Wentian. When he saw this, Qin Wentian's expression stiffened. These three holy maidens actually planned to work together to seize Nanfeng Yunxi's road.
"Bzz~" Phoenix wings flapped, the speed of the three them were unfathomably quick as they rushed towards the road of nirvana. Many notions instantly flashed across Qin Wentian's head. It was hard for him to block all three by himself. As long as one of them got past him, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Nanfeng Yunxi.
He lifted his palms and blasted out destruction, but the attacks from the three maidens converged together and cancelled out his attack. He was even forced back from the impact.
He instantly made a decision, borrowing the power of his enemies to aid in his retreat. Qin Wentian actually chose to retreat into Nanfeng Yunxi's road of nirvana. At the same time, he shouted to Jun Mengchen and Purgatory, "Mengchen, Purgatory, don't waste time playing around. I will seal off this road to nirvana."
"Senior brother don't worry. I understand what to do." Jun Mengchen spoke, he was in the midst of a ferocious match against Zong Zhan.
Qin Wentian retreated into the road of nirvana. The width of the road was too narrow. It was impossible for the three them to fight against him together at the same time.
A scorching heat buried the world inside the ancient roads, resembling fearsome vortexes. Qin Wentian didn't dare to retreat too fast. An instant later, he and the three other holy maidens who joined forces to kill him were all inside this strange world. Nanfeng Yunxi and the two other qualified holy maidens could be seen respectively at the end of the vortexes, bathing in flames of incomparable intensity.
However when he glanced over, embarrassment could be seen flickering in Qin Wentian's eyes. Nanfeng Yunxi was being baptized by the true phoenix flames of the vortex. All her clothes had been burned away, revealing her flawless jade-like body out in the open. She was as beautiful as a portrait of beauty and her pair of phoenix wings could still be seen on her back. Her charm and beauty now were incomparable to her from before.
"I shouldn't look at this." Qin Wentian mused silently. Not only Nanfeng Yunxi, Nanfeng Qingruo and Nanfeng Shengge's beauty were similarly just as stifling, causing a rush to one's blood.
Terrifying flames baptized their bodies, further perfecting their physiques. When the true phoenix flames entered their bodies, their power was incomparable to the past.
"You have profaned the holy maidens of our clan. You deserve death." Nanfeng Aoxue shook with anger, flames sprang up around her as she prepared to rush Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian stared at her and spoke, "It's none other than you guys who have forced me to enter here. Let us go out then."
But how could Nanfeng Aoxue comply now that she was so close to her goal? When she saw her three cousins being baptized by the true phoenix flames, her heart was incomparably anxious. Immortal might gushed forth frenziedly, she couldn't afford to not go all out at this instant.
Qin Wentian snorted coldly, his body once again expanded, blocking the path to Nanfeng Yunxi completely. Now, they could only see the gigantic form of Qin Wentian, they could no longer see Nanfeng Yunxi.
"You guys have no chance left." Qin Wentian coldly spoke.
"I don't believe this." Nanfeng Aoxue's silhouette flashed. A startling clarion cry of a phoenix sounded out as Nanfeng Aoxue appeared right in front of Qin Wentian. All of a sudden, a gigantic true phoenix called forth by the power of her blood essence appeared, bringing along with it the might of a saint beast, breathing immortal fire. Its talons were sharper than swords, as it raked them downwards.
At the instant Qin Wentian saw this true phoenix, his immortal foundation radiated boundless might, circulating around his body. Within his immortal foundation, a divine dragon materialized. Qin Wentian's entire body emitted an overwhelming demonic qi, akin to a supreme demon god. His God's Hand slammed forth in rage and at this instant, the heavens and earth trembled. A ferocious divine dragon containing unbelievable power appeared, slamming into that ancient true phoenix. The dragon roared and the phoenix screeched, their battle instantly drawing the attention of everyone in the surroundings. The might from their immortal foundations unceasingly channeled energy into their materialization, surging forth in unending waves.
Nanfeng Xihua and Nanfeng Ji's expressions changed when they saw this. In a combat of such magnitude, they actually had no way to interfere. Also, this space was too narrow. Qin Wentian had sealed it completely and if they couldn't break his defense, nobody would be able to enter the road to nirvana. The two of them exchanged mutual glances. They could only step back and retreat, choosing to give up on this particular road.
"DIE!" Nanfeng Aoxue fought in true anger. She was at the third-level of immortal foundation, a heaven chosen of the Southern Phoenix Clan and was even a lofty and high-up holy maiden. Right now, she couldn't even take down a first-level immortal-foundation character? This was simply a great humiliation.
Within her immortal foundation, a blazing fiery sword took form, directly shooting out from the beak of the ancient phoenix.
Qin Wentian coldly smiled. Within his immortal foundation, a raven-black light sparkled as he blasted forth with God's Hand. A supreme halberd of destruction shot out of the maw of the demonic dragon, smashing against the fiery phoenix sword, causing the space around them to shake violently wanting to tear this dimension apart. Ultimately, both the sword and halberd were destroyed together.
"Why must you be so persistent? Since this doesn't belong to you, just give it up." Qin Wentian emotionlessly spoke. Nanfeng Aoxue felt shame and humiliation, she wanted the position of the Holy Successor and has even invited people to aid her. But now, Qin Wentian said that it doesn't belong to her?
"What benefits did Nanfeng Yunxi give you?" Nanfeng Aoxue asked. She then continued, "I can double whatever she is giving."
Qin Wentian shook his head, "Yunxi and me are just friends. I came here to help her since she invited me. There's no need for any benefits."
"In that case, are you saying that both of you have an extraordinary relationship?" Nanfeng Aoxue continued. While the two are conversing, the combat hadn't ceased.
"Holy Maiden Aoxue has too rich an imagination. No wonder you have no destiny with the position of Holy Successor." Qin Wentian replied. With a thunderous roar shaking the skies, a Zhen Kong was materialized from God's Hand, rushing over, aiming for the phoenix. The phoenix screeched in pain and was finally defeated and forced to retreat. Nanfeng Aoxue groaned miserably, she was forced backwards as her countenance turned pale.
"This road, is not for you." Qin Wentian stared at her as he coldly spoke. Reluctance could be seen on Nanfeng Aoxue's face. She finally gave up and decided to walk away.
