Ancient Godly Monarch

The people from the northern governor’s manor all trembled. They looked at their governor, Qin Wentian. Despite him being mysterious and rarely appearing in the public, it didn’t affect their respect and reverence for him. Every deed he did was an earth-shattering one.

Right now, was this divinity-like existence in their hearts, once again going to baptize their knowledge of who he was?

What does it mean by fighting against the Lifire Empyrean?

Their governor only used a mere tens of years to accomplish something that many people would never be able to accomplish in their entire lives. From the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm, he broke through to the empyrean realm, becoming an existence on par with the Lifire Palace Lord. This was simply too terrifying and simply unprecedented.

They were all asking themselves in their hearts that could there really be such magnificent characters out there in the world? At the very least, they had never seen one before.

Not only for the people of the northern governor’s manor, all the other spectators felt shock rocking their hearts when they saw Qin Wentian standing before the Lifire Empyrean, blocking his attack. This scene was truly stunning. They didn’t dare to imagine this. A person’s talent could actually be so outstanding?

Although one only needed to gain more insights and deepen their comprehension to break through from the immortal emperor realm to the empyrean realm, it was much more difficult in comparison to absorbing astral energy from one’s constellation to cultivate. If not, there wouldn’t be countless experts stuck at the immortal emperor realm, unable to advance a single inch forward. However, they all actually sensed that there seemed to be no bottlenecks at this realm for Qin Wentian.

Beauty Xiao’s eyes flashed with a dazzling light as she smiled lightly. Her judgement was truly accurate. However, she also felt some worry. After all, she had been in the Lifire Palace for many years and had never seen the Lifire Empyrean personally in battle before. This Lifirer Empyrean that has been in the empyrean realm for many years should be much stronger in comparison, right? Would Qin Wentian be in danger?

The people from the Jialan Clan felt great waves in their heart. Right now, even for them, they had no way to see through the situation today.

Earlier, the spiritual character of their clan, Jialan Jiangshan, was defeated by the Lifire Empyrean. At that instant, they felt as though they had sunk into the abyss, that their involvement in this would lead the Jialan Clan into a mournful end. But at this moment, Qin Wentian actually stepped out and displayed empyrean-level strength.

In that case, why would Qin Wentian be injured from the Lifire Empyrean’s earlier strike?

Why did he enter seclusion the instant he came back instead of answering the summons of the Lifire Palace?

This not only caused the people of the Jialan Clan to be puzzled. Even Zhuge Xiong and many people were puzzled. They initially thought that Qin Wentian was nothing more than a fuse that sparked this entire situation and Di Tian simply made use of this chance, allying himself with the Jialan Clan to overthrow the Lifire Empyrean. Qin Wentian, was nothing more than a secondary player, a foil that enhances the main characters of this incident today.

However, was the truth really like this?

At the moment when Qin Wentian stepped out, how many people felt their hearts shaking? Could Qin Wentian really not know everything?

Di Tian and Qin Wentian had allied together too, right?

Everyone glanced at Di Tian, they only felt that the masked Di Tian was extremely mysterious. Even the people of the Jialan Clan felt that they couldn’t see through him at all.

This was especially so for the Jialan Clan Leader, Jialan Yuntian. Back then at the grand banquet, he already felt something was wrong when Di Tian displayed his talent. But after that, Di Tian had maintained a good relationship with his Jialan Clan and even borrowed their influence to expand the Emperor Pavilion in Lifelong City. Hence, he felt that it was possible that Di Tian only wanted a reliable ally as he developed his strength.

But today, a stronger sense of unease appeared in his heart after he saw this scene. Di Tian was growing more and more inscrutable. Did he come to an agreement with Qin Wentian after coming to an agreement with the Jialan Clan? Was his relationship with Qin Wentian something extraordinary?

No matter what everyone was thinking, everything was not as important as the battle currently occurring now. Hence, the attention of everyone was still fixed on the battle in the air.

“Back then when I told Zhuge Xiong to get you to come back, you ignored it for tens of years before returning. Also, at the instant of your return, you immediately entered closed-door seclusion saying that you are on the verge of a breakthrough. At that time, you should have already broken through, right? In that case, your purpose of doing that must be to lure me here. Back then, who was the one who leaked the secret to you?” The Lifire Empyrean stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. His heart was also trembling slightly from the shock. Qin Wentian actually reached the same realm as him within such a short period of time. This was way too out of his anticipation.

He initially already felt that Qin Wentian would gradually grow out of his control in the future, hence he wanted to act first. But he didn’t expect that Qin Wentian was already extremely difficult to control today.

Qin Wentian didn’t reply, “I have always abided scrupulously by my role’s responsibilities, yet the Palace Lord wants my death so badly. I have no choice but to challenge Palace Lord today.”

“Abide scrupulously?” The Lifire Empyrean laughed. Right now, he could already be sure that the Jialan Monarch was killed by Qin Wentian.

“Let me take a guess. There are two traitors, Sun Qian and Beauty Xiao. Sun Qian is Di Tian’s man, in that case, the person who informed you must be Beauty Xiao, right? I really didn’t expect she would risk so much for you.” The Lifire Empyrean laughed. “Since this is the case, I’ll grant you two your wish. Although you are now also at the empyrean realm, you will understand how great the disparity of strength between experts at the empyrean realm is.”

“I’m waiting with anticipation.” Qin Wentian’s white robes fluttered as the sword qi river flowed around him.

From the Lifire Palace, numerous lifire dragons manifested, spiralling up into the sky. The space behind the Lifire Empyrean was already scorched red, like a world of lava. A countless number of red lightning bolts flashed brilliantly, thundering down from the sky. The lifire dragons swam through the world of lava freely, issuing rumbling roars.

The Lifire Empyrean himself was already extremely terrifying. After borrowing the might of the Lifire Grand Formation, his strength explosively surged as he dominated Jialan Jiangshan. He wanted to tell the people of Lifire City that no one in his territories could challenge his authority and prestige.

“Kacha…” Numerous bolts of red lightning cleaved down, brimming with malevolence, directly blasting towards Qin Wentian. However, a fearsome spatial law fluctuation radiated from Qin Wentian and when the red lightning struck down, his body seemed to be in a separate dimension from his surroundings. Those bolts of red lightning clearly struck him, but they couldn’t come into contact with him,

“Source origin of the laws of space?” Upon staring at this scene, the Lifire Empyrean felt his heart tremble. This meant that Qin Wentian didn’t only comprehend the source origin of a single law, but multiple ones instead. At the grand banquet those years ago, was he really just a mid-stage immortal emperor? If he hadn’t personally witnessed this, he would never have believed it.

Boundless lifire flames crackled. The Lifire Empyrean blasted out, manifesting an apocalyptic blood-red fiery lifire palm that seemed to be made up of ten thousand dancing dragons. This terrifying palm strike was capable of devouring everything as it blasted towards Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian stabbed out with his finger, his sword was akin to the wind. The sword qi river flowing around him erupted forth towards the palm strike, causing rumbling sounds to ring out. A countless number of sharp swords materialized, attempting to slay the lifire dragons. However, that apocalyptic palm imprint crushed everything and forced a way through, brimming with a world-destructive might, wanting to bury Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentina’s expression turned solemn. Boundless radiance emitted from him, illuminating the area he was in. This light was even more blinding compared to the sun, many people couldn’t endure it and had to close their eyes. There were even people that felt their eyes were being pierced through as they were blinded.

The terrifying palm strike then smashed into Qin Wentian. However, within the resplendent radiance, a dharma body appeared, enveloping his true body as the dharma body stood unmoving against that attack.

“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!” The terrifying palm imprint launched attack after attack, wanting to crush Qin Wentian, burying him right where he stood.

Just as everyone thought that was merely a normal attack, the innate technique used by the Lifire Empyrean suddenly seemed to gain life. The palm trembled, and transformed into another lifire body in an instant. This lifire body was gigantic, and its palm was like a lifire prison, grabbing hold of Qin Wentian.

“Careful, that is his Lifire Clone. He borrows the power from the Lifire Grand Formation to create it, allowing him access to the entirety of the energy provided by the grand formation.” Jialan Jiangshan was an old opponent of the Lifire Empyrean and he naturally knew that the Lifire Empyrean had this card up his sleeve. However, this was the first time he fought with the Lifire Empyrean inside Lifire City, he didn’t expect the boost to strength provided by the Lifire Grand Formation would be so overwhelmingly great.

The hearts of everyone trembled. Qin Wentian also understood why when Zhuge Xiong brought up the suggestion of him having an avatar, the Lifire Empyrean directly believed that it was true.

So it turned out that the Lifire Empyrean himself has also cultivated a kind of cloning or avatar creation technique. This was why he felt that Zhuge Xiong’s suggestion was highly probable, the Jialan Monarch should be killed by Qin Wentian’s avatar.

Within the palm-like prison, a terrifying sword of light appeared. Numerous arms also manifested from the dharma body as Qin Wentian attempted to blast his way free. However, balls of flames fell from the air, wanting to incinerate the dharma body protecting Qin Wentian. Sizzling sounds rang out and a few moments later, Qin Wentian’s true body appeared after his dharma body was burned through. His entire person was covered in lava, the Lifire Empyrean’s clone grabbed his true body with both hands tightly, wanting to refine him by the intensity of his flames.

“No matter how high your talent is, you will find it hard to escape death today. As for Beauty Xiao, I’ll grant her her wish and let her accompany you to death. Not only for her, for those who betrayed me today, they shall all be annihilated.” The Lifire Empyrean and his clone spoke the same words, their voices rumbling through space, causing terror to fill the hearts of many people.

The Lifire Empyrean, the sovereign of Lifire City. Ultimately, could it be that no one could challenge his might?

Could no one really defeat the Lifire Empyrean?

Would this magnificent character Qin Wentian, really die here today?!
