Chapter 1701: The Jiang Clan is Finished
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Two extremely powerful auras bore down on the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire causing countless people to be shocked. They inclined their heads and stared at the two figures in the air. The expressions of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and the others drastically changed. They hurriedly took out their messaging crystals and sent their immortal sense into it, contacting Qin Wentian.
Malevolent smiles appeared on the faces of the two empyreans in the air when they saw this. Transmitting a message? Would Qin Wentian be able to make it back in time?
“Brother Ying, since Qin Wentian destroyed the branch of your Ying Clan here, I won’t vie against you. Feel free to kill these ants.” The Jiang Clan’s empyrean laughed. The Ying Clan’s empyrean nodded. He had received orders to come to Azure Mystic Immortal Realms but before he could arrive, the entire Ying Clan’s branch in the lower world was already annihilated. What a great humiliation was this? After that, he learned that Qin Wentian killed an empyrean and became the number one expert under the heavens and hence, he decided to bide his time first. That day, among the neutral empyreans that gathered in the Evergreen Immortal Empire to watch the show, he was there too but he didn’t reveal his identity.
All the way up until now, only after the Jiang Clan challenged Qin Wentian, did he decide to reveal himself and came here together with the third empyrean of the Jiang Clan.
“Since this is the case, I won’t be polite then.” The voice of the Ying Clan’s empyrean was filled with a sinister killing intent. The gaze he used as he peered downwards, was like a god looking down at puny mortals.
“Go ahead. In any case, the beauties in the imperial palace are as many as the clouds. Many of them are of the supreme-grade. Brother Ying, please be lenient when you attack.” The Jiang Clan’s empyrean laughed loudly. The Ying Clan’s empyrean’s immortal sense enveloped the entire imperial palace and naturally could see the truth of the Jiang Clan’s empyrean’s words. His heart stirred when he heard the hint of the Jiang Clan’s empyrean. Using such a method of revenge was truly not bad.
All of a sudden, numerous roars shook the sky as demonic qi permeated the atmosphere. Terrifying demonic dragons manifested as they circled the skies. Each demonic dragon was a million feet in size, flying in spirals in the air, blotting out the sun. In an instant, the sky dimmed, the entire boundlessly vast royal capital was cast into darkness. Malevolent looks and sinister coldness could be seen in the eyes of these demonic dragons.
RUMBLE~ The skies trembled from the might unleashed by the demonic dragons. As long as the Ying Clan’s empyrean gave the command, they would instantly descend and destroy the Evergreen Immortal Empire. The experts in the imperial palace all turned pale. Under the pressure from such power, all of them felt so tiny and inconsequential. They felt like a lone boat drifting in an apocalyptic storm and the boat would break apart, turning into nothingness at any moment.
“Wentian was tricked.” Matriarch Ji had an unsightly look on her face. Qin Wentian went off, answering the challenge from the Jiang Clan. Since he was not here, who among them could fight against these two ancient emperors? Although they had an army of immortal emperors, immortal emperors were ultimately of different levels from ancient emperors. The advantages in terms of numbers were completely useless.
“Master, he would surely have something in reserve.” Qing`er’s white hair fluttered as she calmly watched the scene in the air. She just trusted in Qin Wentian that much.
She naturally trust Qin Wentian. After Qin Wentian returned, he accompanied them every day, going everywhere with them. Even when he headed to the Myriad Devil Islands, he brought them along as well. For such emotions, others might not understand but she and Mo Qingcheng could both understand it very well. Since Qin Wentian left her and Qingcheng in the imperial palace when he went off to answer the challenge from the Jiang Clan, it was impossible that he would leave this place defenseless. There was no other reason behind her strong confidence, it was just her emotions.
Just as the sound of Qing`er’s voice faded, the emperor palace that was at the center of the imperial palace suddenly lit up. Resplendent runes flashed, mysterious imprints could be seen everywhere, flowing towards every part of the imperial palace as a tyrannical aura gushed forth. A few moments later, the entire imperial palace seemed to be covered by an ancient diagram that existed in the void.
“Mhm?” Both the empyreans from the Ying Clan and Jiang Clan both had looks of bewilderment on their faces. After that, they exclaimed in shock, “A grand formation!”
During the reconstruction of the Evergreen Immortal Empire’s royal capital, a grand formation was actually inscribed as well. The source origin of laws could be felt emanating from it. It was extremely powerful
Their immortal senses searched for the source. After that, their eyes landed on an ordinary-looking figure dressed in black that had a mask on. They didn’t know when this figure had appeared. His aura had been completely hidden from them but was now radiating forth gradually. He was clearly the one controlling the grand formation.
“An empyrean!” The expressions of the Jiang Clan and Ying Clan’s empyreans both changed. In addition, this wasn’t the Samsara Empyrean Hua Taixu in the legends but was another person instead. This meant that other than Qin Wentian and Hua Taixu, there was still one more empyrean hidden in the Evergreen Immortal Empire. This made them feel a sense of unease.
The Ying Clan’s empyrean pointed his finger downwards. In an instant, dragon roars filled the air, causing the earth to tremble as they rushed downwards.
Below, that black-robed figure slowly soared into the air. The terrifying formation had already been activated and was channeling its power into him. A moment later, numerous ancient sealing gates appeared and when the dragons slammed into the sealing gates, they actually felt themselves being absorbed into the dimensions within the gates. Their giant bodies turned tiny before they vanished completely.
This entire space seemed to be sealed. If one stood high up enough in the air, they would be able to tell that this entire stretch of sky seemed to be a gigantic gate of sealing emitting boundless sealing might that gushed towards the two enemy empyreans.
“I’ve been waiting for you guys for a long time.” A voice rang out from the black-robed figure. Qin Wentian naturally knew that there would surely be empyreans from the Ying Clan in the upper world coming here to Azure Mystic. Since that was the case, how could he not take precautions against that? Just like what Qing`er speculated, it was impossible for him to leave Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng here unprotected while he answered the Jiang Clan’s challenge. Since they were finally reunited after so many troubles, there was no way he would allow them to fall into danger again. Even if things were extremely dire, he wouldn’t hesitate to stand before them to block everything even if he had to die to protect them.
The Ying Clan and Jiang Clan’s empyreans sent out their immortal sense and enveloped the area. They felt that something was wrong. This entire space seemed to be already locked inside a sealing dimension. In this space, numerous sealing gates shot towards them, radiating a powerful sealing light.
Both of them unleashed their terrifying auras and prepared to blast the sealing gates flying towards them into pieces. However, the black-robed figure had the augmentation of the grand formation, the number of sealing gates he could create was almost endless. The sealing light that was emitted also seemed boundless, already sealing away the other law energies here. The two of them felt that their control over the source origins of their laws was gradually weakening as their faces turned incredibly unsightly. After that, the Jiang Clan’s empyrean decided to rush downwards, he wanted to capture some hostages.
But just when his attacks landed on the sealing gates, the power behind of his attacks was completely sealed away. There was no way for him to destroy the gates at all.
“This…” Matriarch Ji, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and the others didn’t expect that Qin Wentian would still have this move in reserve. Back then when Qin Wentian sought out craftsmen to reconstruct the imperial palace, they actually had no idea that he was also inscribing such a powerful formation. The two empyreans now found it extremely troublesome, both of them understood that things would be even more disadvantageous for them if the situation dragged on.
“How’s the situation there now? Qin Wentian is too powerful, we are both in danger.” At this moment, a voice rang out in the Jiang Clan’s empyrean’s mind. These words were transmitted by the two empyreans currently locked in combat with Qin Wentian. The third Jiang Clan’s empyrean instantly paled. Both battles were actually extremely dangerous for them? His silhouette continued to flash as he evaded, while he took out his messaging crystal and activated it to reply. This could be done because the figure in black didn’t pressure him with more attacks, or he definitely wouldn’t have the time to take out his messaging crystal at all.
——
At this moment, at the other battlefield, the entire ocean below them was churning wildly as water reversed their flow and went against gravity, flowing upwards instead. Devil might permeated this entire region, and unexcelled supreme devil lords manifested one after another, wanting to annihilate everything. Qin Wentian was the Myriad Devil Sovereign, he used his body that was in devil-form to unleash many mystical devil-path innate techniques.
A loud explosion occurred. Qin Wentian directly vanished from his location and his gigantic devil body directly appeared in the airspace above one of the Jiang Clan’s empyreans. A cracking sound rang out as the dharma body protection of the Jiang Clan’s empyrean collapsed. Numerous devil arms shot downwards as the Jiang Clan’s empyrean frenziedly folded incantation gestures, using the source origin of his laws to form millions of immobile runes. However, the devil might in the area corroded everything. The runes even turned on their creator and immobilized him instead. That Jiang Clan’s empyrean couldn’t move at all and Qin Wentian effortlessly grabbed hold of him.
“How’s the result after you checked with the third Jiang Clan’s empyrean?” Qin Wentian’s black eyes that were akin to a supreme devil lord stared at the empyrean as he asked. That Jiang Clan’s empyrean’s expression turned extremely ugly to behold. He felt his heart trembling as he asked, “Why is there another empyrean there?”
Also, their immortal senses when scanning initially actually failed to discover that empyrean.
“Do you know about the laws of sealing?” Qin Wentian spoke. Di Tian naturally had used his sealing laws to seal away his presence as well as the presence of the grand formation. Since this was the case, it wasn’t strange that no one had discovered it.
“I’m willing to hand Jiang Zihua over to you.” The Jiang Clan’s empyrean spoke.
“If you had compromised earlier, I would have believed in your sincerity. But since the battle has already started, there’s no longer a need to negotiate about conditions. Goodbye.” Qin Wentian spoke, his eyes glowed terrifyingly as a devil saber flashed past. The other remaining empyrean couldn’t bear to look as his comrade was slashed apart. His body directly vanished, as though he just used some great teleportation technique as he attempted to leave. The remaining empyrean knew that they were miserably defeated. When Qin Wentian insta-killed the empyrean from Senluo back then, Qin Wentian actually held himself back and didn’t reveal his true strength.
“RUMBLE~” The devil body also vanished, directly pursuing the remaining Jiang Clan’s empyrean. A gigantic devil palm blotted out the sun and directly smashed downwards. There was simply no way for the empyrean to escape at all. With a thunderous boom, that empyrean was slammed into the ocean by the palm. After that, Qin Wentian continued exerting force, pushing the palm downwards, smashing the empyrean against the seabed. The ocean churned wildly as that attack created gigantic tsunamis, pushing all the water in its way apart. The remaining Jiang Clan’s empyrean had no way to escape at all.
From afar, those spectators felt their legs go soft. They stared at the battle in a daze, this battle at the ancient emperor level was actually so overwhelmingly powerful. If Qin Wentian willed it, even the entire stretch of ocean would disappear.
After killing his opponent, a terrifying devil light gleamed in his eyes. Over there at Di Tian’s side, it was about time to wrap things up as well. His figure flashed as he soared towards the distance. In the air, devil might crackled wildly, the pressure boring down on everything. As he passed by, the countless experts there were all trembling, some even wanted to prostrate themselves on the ground in worship.
Was this the strength of the Devil Sovereign, the Heaven Empyrean? Who under the heavens could contend against him?
“Wait, is he heading to the southern regions instead and not returning to the eastern regions?” Someone felt his heart shuddering.
“Is he planning to go to the Jiang Clan?”
At this instant, those spectators who saw Qin Wentian flying away all understood that the Jiang Clan was finished!
