Zi Daoyang stared at the three of them. After which, his eyes landed on Qing`er, ”Little Sis Qing`er, if we fought here, how can I answer to your royal father, Uncle Evergreen?”

Qing`er’s countenance turned ice-cold. She ignored Zi Daoyang, but he only turned back to say to Qin Wentian, ”Don’t you feel ashamed doing this?”

”When I stepped into the City of Ancient Emperors, you were already ranked first in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. At that time, I was only at the seventh level of Celestial Phenomenon. You think yourself unrivaled here? Could it be you wish to fight one-on-one with me in a fair battle?” Qin Wentian stared at Zi Daoyang as he replied, ”After I break through to the ninth level, I will naturally seek you out for a one-on-one battle.”

”Hmph.” Zi Daoyang smiled in disdain. ”Lengyue, bring some people to restrain Qing`er. I don’t wish to fight against her. As for Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi, I will handle them. Didn’t I hear recently that the Qin Sect is said to be the number one power in the City of Ancient Emperors? With my Violet Sect here today, I want the people of the City of Ancient Emperors to see who the true number-one power really is.”

As the sound of his voice faded, the members from both sects unleashed their powerful auras. In just an instant, a fearsome storm swept across the heavens and earth, and it was apparent that a grand chaotic battle was about to unfold.

The violet light Zi Daoyang was radiating illuminated the sky. Boundless violet light materialized into an indomitable sharp sword in the air that ferociously slashed outwards. It contained a supremely powerful might that could destroy everything, aiming for the space between Qin Wentian and Qing`er.

Both of them dodged to the sides. Zi Daoyang stepped out, blasting his palm forward as a boundless violet light transformed into a towering palm imprint. This violet gigantic palm could seemingly crush anything, and seemed to contain the strongest, most overwhelming attack power within it.

Qin Wentian’s body expanded as rumbling sounds echoed out. His entire body shone with a dazzling light, containing countless runes circulating around. Stepping out, his body was akin to a world supreme physique, containing the power to suppress everything. He unleashed his constellation as its light enveloped him protectively, but even so, it would be extremely tough for him to stand against that gigantic violet palm imprint.

—BOOM!— Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand blasted out with an overwhelming might that could shake the heavens and earth, slamming into the violet palm imprint. Two powerful forces met in mid-air, drawing the attention of many people. The Ultimate Violet Saint Immortal Art was proclaimed to have one of the strongest attacks, whereas the God’s Hand—being an inheritance of Ancient Emperor Yi—was also known for its tyrannical power. This was a clash of the strongest attacks.

A thunderous boom sounded out as the palm imprints collapsed, causing the spectators’ hearts to tremble. It looked like the God’s Hand, the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Yi, was still a shade stronger than the Ultimate Violet Saint Immortal Art. Both of the palm imprints collapsed together, but it must be known that Zi Daoyang was a level higher in terms of cultivation base compared to Qin Wentian.

On the other side, Xiao Lengyue brought her men to surround Qing`er and delay her. A total of four experts were currently fighting against her, completely separating her from Qin Wentian.

Nanfeng Yunxi was by Qin Wentian’s side. A phantom of an ancient phoenix covered her as its red glow filled the sky. Stabbing forth with her finger, the clarion cry of a phoenix sounded out as it shot towards Zi Daoyang.

Zi Daoyang snorted coldly. His constellation shone with a brilliant light as he too, unleashed a finger attack. Momentarily, a ray of light containing boundless might completely absorbed the fire phoenix finger.

”RETURN!” Zi Daoyang roared. The fire phoenix finger attack actually reversed its trajectory, shooting back toward Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi.

Nanfeng Yunxi’s countenance changed. She stabbed out with her finger again, manifesting another fire phoenix. The two fire phoenixʼs slammed against each other in mid-air, and both exploded from the impact amidst their cries of misery.

”Today, it’s truly my honor to be able to experience two of the Violet Emperor’s supreme arts—the Ultimate Violet Saint Immortal Art and the Thousand Autumns Emperor Art,” said Nanfeng Yunxi. The Ultimate Violet Saint Immortal Art was a supreme, indomitable attacking power, while the Thousand Autumns Emperor Art was a mystical onslaught. Not only could it defend against powerful attacks, it could even reverse an opponent’s attacks back on others. This technique was of a higher grade compared to the Xuan Emperor’s Heavenly Mystic Mirror Art. This was why Xuan Yang wasn’t even worthy of a single mention in the face of Zi Daoyang.

Naturally, in the immortal realms, the Xuan Emperor wasnʼt comparable to the Violet Emperor either. The Violet Emperor was a supreme peak-level immortal emperor character.

”Nanfeng, ordinary attacks are basically useless against me. The two of you aren’t a match for me,” Zi Daoyang spoke. He then stepped out and continued in a cold voice, ”Nobody can stop me.”

As the sound of his voice faded, violet qi filled the sky. Boundless light congregated on Zi Daoyang as though the violet qi was rising from the east. A supreme might gushed forth from him as Zi Daoyang blasted his palms out, manifesting an incomparably gigantic violet palm that could ravage everything, capable of killing even the gods if they tried to obstruct him.

Qin Wentian unleashed his strength to its absolute limits. Thunderous rumbling sounds echoed unceasingly as his stature grew even larger. The divine energy within his body seethed and surged as his God’s Hand blasted out once more, blotting out the sky, clashing against that incomparably large violet palm imprint in the air. The heavens and earth shook from the impact of that power, yet the violet palm imprint didn’t shatter.

Zi Daoyang had a cold smile of contempt on his face as he spoke, ”I wonder whether the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance would be able to devour the energy within the God’s Hand or not.”

As the sound of his voice faded, terrifying layers of blackish runic light shimmered from his palm, transforming into a terrifying vortex that started to absorb the energy of the God’s Hand, as if to devour it whole. That incomparably gigantic violet palm imprint transformed into a dark abyss, while the God’s Hand sunk in deeper and deeper, as if it was trying to devour Qin Wentian’s entire arm. Zi Daoyang’s eyes gleamed with a dazzling light as he watched on.

”ROAR!” A heaven-shaking roar rang out as a gigantic demonic beast lunged over, its paws swiping for Zi Daoyang’s head. That tyrannical power caused everyone to feel that if Zi Daoyang’s head was hit by that attack, it would surely explode into nonexistence. The raw strength of the demonic beast was simply too terrifying.

Zi Daoyang laughed coldly. He stretched out his left hand and grabbed at the air. A gigantic violet palm imprint fell from the sky, transforming into a prison that secured the body of the gigantic demonic beast. The demonic beast wrenched its maw wide and chomped down on the palm, and it actually succeeded in devouring it.

Nanfeng Yunxi’s figure began to be cloaked in supreme flames as she stepped towards Zi Daoyang. She herself was like an ancient phoenix, and an incomparably sharp phoenix sword slashed down from the sky, painting the sky a brilliant red.

”It’s useless,” said Zi Daoyang. He unleashed his powerful innate technique to its limit as boundless violet light shot forth from him. The phoenix sword slashed atop the screen of light, the force within it branding its image onto the screen of light, but to no avail.

”GO!” Zi Daoyang roared, that scorching phoenix sword reversed its trajectory, using Nanfeng Yunxi’s own attack against her once again.

”The Thousand Autumns Emperor Art.” Nanfeng Yunxi had an extremely unsightly expression on her face. She unleashed another strike to destroy her own attack once more. She had enough power to destroy Xuan Yang’s Heavenly Mystical Mirror Art because she was ranked third while Xuan Yang was fourth. However, it was extremely strenuous for her to fight against the first-ranked Zi Daoyang.

”This fellow is so powerful.” Jun Mengchen, Hua Taixu and Zi Qingxuan had joined forces for their battle. Right now, their cultivation bases were all at the eighth level of Celestial Phenomenon, but their combat prowess was off the charts. This was especially so when they joined forces—ordinary ninth-level ascendants would be swiftly defeated by them.

However, although they were very powerful when they joined forces, it was clear they were far from being enough when facing against characters of Zi Daoyang’s level.

Being able to rank first in the Immortal Ascension Rankings of the City of Ancient Emperors, Zi Daoyang was clearly an existence at the very peak, even throughout the entire immortal realms.

”Truly powerful, his attacks and defenses have no flaws. In addition, he even obtained a portion of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance,” Zi Qingxuan spoke in a low voice.

The members of the Qin Sect and the Violet Sect were already clashing madly, using the space between the two caverns of the ancient emperors as their battleground. The impact of their clashes caused streams of chaotic qi to ravage the surroundings.

However at this moment in a faraway location, a group of experts descended. These people radiated an extreme coldness, as though they were all incomparably ruthless characters. The young man in the lead had a pair of dark golden eyes, and it felt like they could pierce through the void itself. He calmly stood on a mountain peak with his hands clasped behind him.

”Palace Lord, shall we kill all in our path?” someone asked the young man, looking at him expectantly.

”There’s no hurry. The Qin Sect is not weak. Qin Wentian, Nanfeng Yunxi, and Qing`er all have extreme combat prowess. Even if Zi Daoyang wishes to take them down, he would still have to pay a heavy price. Let’s continue to wait,” Mo Xie coldly replied. After which, his dark golden eyes closed, as though the matter had nothing to do with him.

Those standing behind Mo Xie were the experts who joined the Evil Palace he established. These people were all fully prepared for battle, waiting for the chaos to intensify before they made their move and plundered everything.

The battle in the Underworld Mountains was extremely sudden, and had begun the instant Little Rascal finished his comprehension. Zi Daoyang led the members of his Violet Sect, while Qin Wentian led the members of his Qin Sect. None of the others in the City of Ancient Emperors knew of this. In fact, it was only now that news was slowly beginning to circulate out.

The people of the Violet Sect, the Qin Sect, and the Evil Palace had all vanished, with all of them heading towards the Underworld Mountains. It looked like this time around, a grand battle of unprecedented proportions would take place there.

.....

Right now at a certain location in the City of Ancient Emperors, over three hundred experts were heading towards the headquarters of the Qin Sect. Their movements naturally attracted the attention of many. More than three hundred of these experts were mounted on their speed-type treasures as they rushed to the Qin Sect, but when they arrived at its headquarters, they actually discovered that there wasn’t even a single person left inside. The place was completely empty.

”They’re not here?” The four in the lead frowned, they turned their gazes toward the geniuses far away as they called out, ”Hold it there!”

The geniuses from afar turned to look, staring at the newcomer’s impressive troop formation, and their hearts trembled a little.

”Where are the people of the Qin Sect?” A voice thundered out from the air. One among the crowd replied, ”There seems to be a great commotion in the Underworld Mountains. I think Qin Wentian might have led the people of the Qin Sect over to that place.”

”You come with us to lead the way.” The person froze upon hearing the command. After which he only felt an overwhelming pressure boring down onto him, so he could only nod his head and reply, ”Alright.”

As he nodded, he soared into the air as thousands of speculations appeared in his heart. Who were all these experts?
