Chapter 1949: Terrifying Potential
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The destruction of the Heavenly Deity Mountain caused a huge commotion in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. No one expected that the letter sent by the Ziwei Divine Court would actually bring about such a terrifying ending.
In the Mystic Region, the three hegemonic powers which were the Ziwei Divine Court, Great Devil Divine Palace and Heavenly Deity Mountain have all existed for countless years, balancing each other out. Although the strength of the Heavenly Deity Mountain was slightly weaker, they were still a hegemonic power and had some foundations. None of the three powers dared to truly invoke a destructive war against each other. After all, from the perspectives of everyone, even if the Ziwei Divine Court could win against the Heavenly Deity Mountain, they wouldn’t be able to avoid losing heavenly deities and would surely suffer casualties.
In the present situation where there are two huge threats which were the Heaven Vault Alliance and the western world, no one expected the Ziwei Divine Court to make such a move. Not only that, they even managed to do it in such a manner that none of the deities from the Heavenly Deity Mountain escaped and completely razed the Heavenly Deity Mountain to flat ground.
After the Divine Ox Clan, yet another hegemonic power of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was destroyed. This gave all the experts in the immortal realms a warning. Even if you are from a hegemonic power, you might also be annihilated overnight. In these chaotic times, if you are not strong enough, you would have the possibility of being destroyed, becoming the stepping stone of others.
An invisible pressure surrounded the experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The destruction of a hegemonic power in the Mystic Region caused the sense of danger everyone was feeling to increase.
At this moment in the Mystic Region, at the ruins of the Heavenly Deity Mountain, many experts came by. These were all experts from the various locations, and among them, the devil cultivators from the Great Devil Divine Sect were present as well. Right now, the devil cultivators stood together as they stared at the ruins. Once, this place was a majestic divine mountain. Now, everything had turned to dust.
“How did the Ziwei Divine Court achieve this?” Someone asked, mumbling in a low voice.
No one knew the answer. Even the Great Devil Divine Palace wasn’t sure either. When the Ziwei Divine Court sent a letter to the Heavenly Deity Mountain, the devil palace was already paying attention to this and they also sent experts here on that day of the meeting. However, on that fateful day, black fog covered the entire Heavenly Deity Mountain, enveloping it completely, isolating everything. No one could see what happened within.
And after everything ended, the black fog finally dissipated. All that was left was nothing but rubble. It was an extremely shocking sight. Even the corpses lying around were badly damaged, with many of them missing their heads. Even right now, these corpses were still under the ruins, no one cleared the dead bodies. Many experts in the air felt disgust, even for experts who had slaughtered many people before, they also felt extremely uncomfortable when they stared at this purgatory in the mortal world.
If one was to speak about who was under the greatest pressure, the answer was undoubtedly the Great Devil Divine Palace. They always had conflicts against the Ziwei Divine Court and now, the Heavenly Deity Mountain was attacked by the Ziwei Divine Court. In that case, the Great Devil Divine Palace which was also in the Mystic Region, would they suffer an attack as well? The possibility of this happening was extremely great. Since the Ziwei Divine Court had the strength to effortlessly exterminate the Heavenly Deity Mountain, they must have some unfathomable secrets.
“Great sin..” Someone sighed. How many people were there in the hegemonic power, the Heavenly Deity Mountain? The scene here was truly like hell on earth.
“The Ziwei Divine Court is too crazy.” Someone sighed. Even in the perspective of the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realm’s history, it was extremely rare for a hegemonic power to be completely annihilated like this. Everyone here could deeply sense what the idiom ‘lives are like weeds’ meant. When a true deity-level battle occurred, ordinary people were no different from ants.
Many people then departed, they felt extremely uncomfortable staring at this hell-like scene.
There were also people who started to clean up. They used great amounts of power to cause the earth to open up, burying all the corpses within.
…..
Qin Wentian learned of the complete extermination of the Heavenly Deity Mountain from his grandfather Luoshen Chuan, and he learned about even more details later on. Although he had long known that this wasn’t a world of kindness and the battles between hegemonic powers were cruel to the extreme, he still felt that it was too brutal to completely annihilate a single power. The Heavenly Deity Mountain’s experts weren’t the same as the Divine Ox Clan. They weren’t demonic beasts, they were the same kind as the Ziwei Divine Court’s experts, both sides were humans.
What role did Yue Changkong play in this? Qin Wentian had no idea but Yue Changkong surely had a connection with this. This incident had Yue Changkong’s style imprinted all over it.
Qin Wentian gave the order to collect all the latest news about Yue Changkong and sent people to monitor his movements. He discovered that recently, many humans and demonic beasts had vanished in the Desolate Region. Qin Wentian instantly recalled the evil art Yue Changkong practiced. Was he using these lives to cultivate? He might have developed a suitable method to convert the evil art he learned from the world of reincarnation and given his personality, he naturally would have no qualms using it.
But what he didn’t understand was how the Ziwei Divine Court had the power to destroy the Heavenly Deity Mountain so easily? This was something everyone in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms didn’t understand as well.
Qin Wentian could also sense that the current Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was changing. In truth, if it wasn’t for the crazy old freak appearing to suppress the western world, he wouldn’t be as free as he is now.
He temporarily suppressed his thoughts and decided to cultivate in closed-door seclusion inside the Heaven Vault. Also, many people around him also decided to enter seclusion. Since the crazy old freak managed to buy them a period of peace where no other hegemonic powers would dare to antagonize them, they naturally should use this chance to strengthen themselves. If not, once the changes fully kicked in, they would find it impossible to deal with the changes.
Hence, while the changes were happening in the external world, many people in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect entered the Heaven Vault for cultivation. These people included those around Qin Wentian, all of them were in the Heaven Vault but they still rotated themselves to guard the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. As long as something happened, they would inform Qin Wentian immediately.
Time slowly flowed by. Two years of time is simply too short in the perspective of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, there wouldn’t be any great ripples. Ever since the Ziwei Divine Court destroyed the Heavenly Deity Mountain, the Great Devil Divine Palace has been extremely vigilant. However, it didn’t seem that the Ziwei Divine Court had any plans to attack them. After a period of inactivity, the attention on that news slowly began to fade away. It was now like the power that destroyed the Heavenly Deity Mountain wasn’t them.
However, to the people in the Heaven Vault, great changes occurred in these two years. There were people who broke through and became deities, and there weren’t just a few.
Right now, many of Qin Wentian’s good friends have all succeeded. Little Rascal, Jun Mengchen, Qi Yu, Beiming Youhuang, Qing`er, Bai Qing, Nanfeng Yaoyue… These people are people who had the wills of ancient deities guiding them. In addition to their own outstanding talent and comprehension abilities, as well as the optimal cultivation environment in the Heaven Vault, with so many advantages stacked together, there probably wasn’t anyone else from the other hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms who had better cultivation conditions than them. This was why there were several people around him becoming deities within these two years.
Naturally, other than all of these, the main factor was time. In the minor worlds Qin Wentian created, the time flow was different from the external world. Two years might have passed on the outside but they had cultivated two hundred years inside the Heaven Vault. This lead to the results today.
With regards to these happenings in the Heaven Vault, the people outside had absolutely no idea. If they knew that the Heaven Vault was currently producing heavenly deities so rapidly, the wariness in their hearts would probably be even more intense. Only two plus years have passed, if Qin Wentian and his alliance was given time to further develop quietly, who knew how many heavenly deities they would have among their ranks? Most probably if they continued to develop, other than supreme-tier hegemonic powers like the western world, the other hegemonic powers wouldn’t be able to hold a candle to them.
In addition to all of this, the Heaven Vault had the Grim Reaper’s protection and Headmaster Ye of the sacred academy also took very good care of Qin Wentian.
Also, other than these people mentioned above, there was a cultivator from the sacred academy who also broke through in the Heaven Vault. This person was none other than Qin Wentian’s senior apprentice brother, the Divine Sound World Overlord from back then. He had always treated Qin Wentian well and he was also someone who was once on the Daoask Rankings, listed as someone with the highest hope of breaking through to the deity realm. Now, he finally attained his dao in the cultivation environment provided by the Heaven Vault.
At this moment, Divine Sound was beside Qin Wentian. He glanced at the Heaven Vault as he sighed with emotion, “Wentian, I have to thank you for being able to make such a quick breakthrough in terms of my cultivation.”
Although his comprehension abilities were strong, in truth, he had already cultivated for many years and failed to break through despite the amount of time. If it wasn’t for the Heaven Vault being controlled by Qin Wentian, there was no way he would be able to enter here to cultivate so easily. There wouldn’t be such a selfless person in the world.
“Senior brother, why are you speaking like this? I’m going to get angry.” Qin Wentian spoke in mock anger. Back then in the sacred academy, this senior brother of his had treated him extremely well. By allowing Divine Sound to enter the Heaven Vault, it truly wasn’t considered anything in Qin Wentian’s perspective.
But it might not be anything to him, it was different to Divine Sound. The Heavenly Deity Realm was something every cultivator sought after. How many lives were there in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and how many people were heavenly deities? Only a very rare few would be able to enter this realm. And now, he finally reached the cultivation realm he dreamt about. Such a feeling was impossible to describe.
“Haha. Alright, I won’t be too polite with you then.” Senior Divine Sound laughed. He looked at the many minor worlds floating in the Heaven Vault as he spoke, “If the external world gives you another hundred years, how many deities would the Heaven Vault be able to produce?”
After speaking, he shook his head. He truly didn’t dare to imagine it.
A hundred years on the outside meant ten thousand years in the minor worlds. Maybe, an army of deities would be formed by then. This was also the reason why the experts from the various hegemonic powers were in such a hurry to attack Qin Wentian. The potential of the Heaven Vault was simply too terrifying.
“A hundred years is too long.” Qin Wentian shook his head. If he was given another thousand years to cultivate in the minor worlds, what realm would he reach?
However, ever since he started cultivation up until now, only a thousand years had passed by at most.
In addition, he felt that the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms wouldn’t allow them to have so much time. Although a hundred years wasn’t too long in the perspective of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realm’s situation was just too sensitive now.
“Wentian.” At this moment, a weak-sounding voice rang out in his mind. Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed, “Senior brother, I need to make a move first.”
After speaking, he vanished directly, causing the eyes of Divine Sound to flash. Qin Wentian was in such a hurry. Could it be that something major has happened?
In one of the minor worlds, Beiming Youhuang laid limply on the ground. A beam of light flashed and Qin Wentian appeared beside her. He half-knelt as worry flashed in his eyes.
“What happened?” Qin Wentian moved into a sitting position and helped prop Beiming Youhuang up, allowing her to lean on him. At the same time, his divine sense entered her body to investigate. Very soon, he discovered an extremely terrifying surge of destructive power ravaging the interior of her body. It was like her soul was even about to be frozen solid.
“It was caused by my own cultivation.” Beiming Youhuang’s body trembled, like she was cold, extremely cold..
