Chapter 1660: Direct Clash

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The other battles here have all concluded. The experts from the Lifire Palace were defeated. The instant Qin Wentian acted against Zhuge Xiong, everyone here understood that no one would be able to contend against Qin Wentian.

Many supreme and transcendent-level immortal emperors fixed Qin Wentian’s image in their minds as their hearts trembled. They could sense that Qin Wentian had already entered that legendary level – the Empyrean Realm.

Tens of years ago, he was merely at the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm. This seemingly impossible thing has actually been accomplished by him.

What was peerless? This was peerless…

Before this, those subordinates from the northern governor’s manor, who betrayed him, all felt their expressions turning stiff. Panic was in their hearts. Would the Lifire Empyrean be defeated today? This was something they would never believe possible even in their wildest dreams. But now, all of them were filled with doubts.

The battle today could be called a battle that could change the skies of Lifire City.

Numerous eyes turned to the apocalyptic scene. The sky was dyed with streaks of red as bolts of red lightning danced wildly, shattering the buildings on the ground. Although the buildings of Lifire City were constructed from special materials, they had no way to withstand the aftershocks that manifested from a battle between two empyreans. Fortunately, the area was deserted, the crowd had long retreated extremely far away.

The people in the surroundings of the governor’s manor all stared at the battle in the air with shock on their faces. This seemed to be a battle of destiny. There always had been rumors about the grudge between the Lifire Empyrean and the Jialan Clan. Jialan Jiangshan was none other than the rumored person who contended against the Lifire Empyrean for the Lifire Palace Lord’s position those years ago. Right now, the two of them finally fought against each other in a heaven-shaking battle.

The eyes of people of the Jialan Clan were filled with nervousness as they watched. This battle was too critical. The loser would be vilified while the victor becomes king. As long as they don’t lose this battle, they would gain a tremendous amount of benefits. The position of the Lifire Palace Lord would shift hands. But if they were defeated, who else here still could fight against the Lifire Empyrean?

Numerous white snakes spiralled above Jialan Jiangshan. This was a special innate ability of the Jialan Clan. The Jialan Monarch also had this ability but he was clearly much more inferior to Jialan Jiangshan. There was simply no comparison between their strength at all.

At this moment, at the Lifire Palace that was extremely far away, the Lifire Palace suddenly trembled as rumbling sounds could be heard. After that, terrifying flames emitted forth as heat currents permeated the area.

The guards remaining behind at the Lifire Palace felt themselves trembling. A bell chimed as a voice rang out within all corners of the Lifire Palace, “Everyone, gather inside the Lifire Palace. The Lifire Grand Formation is going to activate.”

“Lifire Grand Formation.” The hearts of many people shook. The person who could control this grand formation was none other than the Lifire Empyrean himself. Right now, there was only a single possibility of why he activated this. The Lifire Empyrean must be in an extremely threatening situation and had no choice but to do so.

This is…what was going on? The Palace Lord actually activated the Lifire Grand Formation.

After the Lifire Grand Formation was activated, there was only a single place that would be safe. That place was undoubtedly the inner area of the Lifire Palace. Many figures sped over madly, directly rushing into the palace. The heat grew more and more terrifying as red dragons manifested, shooting through the air with the speed of a lightning bolt. A moment later, the sky above the Lifire Palace turned crimson, it was like a world of lava, wanting to incinerate everything.

Lava-like dragons appeared in the air as they howled at the heavens. After that, they sped towards the horizons with terrifying speed.

“Lifire dragons!” The hearts of everyone pounded. The majestic Lifire Palace was now a scorching red, emitting towering amounts of fire. The entire palace was shaking, and people in the boundlessly vast surrounding regions also felt their hearts shaking when they saw this. They stared at the lifire dragons with a dumbstruck look. They all understood that something big was going to happen, something earth-shattering big!

…

In the Lifelong Realm, within the Lifelong Saint Hall, an expert rushed through the air in a great hurry as he arrived outside a majestic palace inside the Lifelong Saint Hall. He then bowed low, “This subordinate has an important matter which I need to make a report to the Realmlord.”

“What’s the matter?” A voice rang out from within.

“The Lifire Empyrean activated the Lifire Grand Formation. After investigations, we learned that the Lifire Empyrean went to arrest Qin Wentian and encountered a counterattack from the Jialan Clan and Di Tian. He is currently fighting against Jialan Jiangshan now.” That person replied.

The sound of wind whistling rang out. a figure abruptly appeared before the subordinate making the report. This figure was none other than the Lifelong Realmlord. He stared at the person and spoke, “Tell me in detail. What is going on? Why does Jialan Jiangshang dare to battle with the Lifire Empyrean?”

Although Jialan Jiangshan was the founder of a peak power, he is still considered an outsider. The Lifire Empyrean was his direct subordinate that managed a part of his territories for him. Now that there was a battle between them, he first had to ascertain who gave Jialan Jiangshan the courage to do so.

This, was the rules of the Lifelong Realm.

“This matter happened because of Governor Qin. The Lifire Empyrean says that Qin Wentian had killed the Jialan Monarch and went to arrest him, wanting to execute him. However, he didn’t have any proof and sought to act first before making a report up. After Supervisory Commander Di Tian knew of this, he brought the Jialan Clan along with him and rushed over there. Both parties stuck to their views and a conflict occurred, leading to a battle.” That person continued to bow as he made the report.

“The Lifire Empyrean most probably feared Qin Wentian’s potential. How dare he act like this, killing someone whom I heavily regarded. Also, Di Tian’s appearance with Jialan Jiangshan, could this be a coincidence? Hmph, they have grown truly audacious.” What sort of character was the Lifelong Realmlord? He instantly saw through the majority of the things the moment he heard it.

“Realmlord, how should we handle this? Should we force them to stop?” That person asked.

“Since they want to play, let them play. There’s no need to interfere. I really want to see if supervisory commander Di Tian, a genius that obtained first in the martial competition, can he really defeat the Lifire Empyrean when he joined forces with the Jialan Clan.” The Realmlord casually spoke, as though he didn’t care at all. His position was far too lofty, and could afford to treat the multitude of living things as his chess piece. As long as his position wasn’t affected, they can play however they wanted to play. He couldn’t be bothered to interfere.

“Retreat for now. There’s no need to make any more reports about this incident. After this matter is concluded, the victor naturally will come to the Lifelong Saint Hall to seek a pardon for his crimes.” The Realmlord calmly stated.

“Yes, Realmlord.” That person bowed, The Lifelong Realmlord cast his gaze into the distance as a gleam of sharpness flashed through his eyes. He didn’t expect that the two most outstanding individuals in the grand banquet that day, would so quickly cause a storm to manifest in Lifire City. Truly, geniuses disdain a lonely atmosphere.

…

In the airspace above the northern governor’s manor of Lifire City, the fearsome combat continued. At this moment, a terrifying scene could be seen. Numerous dragons formed from lifire flames wanted to engulf everything, painting the sky red.

The lifire dragons lunged towards the white snakes manifested by Jialan Jiangshan. Each of the lifire dragons contained a towering amount of destructive might within.

“This is the power from the Lifire Grand Formation.” Beauty Xiao’s beautiful eyes froze. Although she knew the existence of the Lifire Grand Formation, she had never seen it being activated before, only having heard rumors about it. She didn’t think that despite such a vast distance, the Lifire Empyrean could still activate the Lifire Grand Formation of the Lifire Palace. This caused a look of worry to appear in her beautiful eyes. If Jialan Jiangshan was defeated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as she was worrying, the lifire dragons grew more and more terrifying. Numerous lifire dragons soared through the air, generated from the formation. They spiralled in the sky, controlled by the Lifire Empyrean’s will, blotting out the sun.

Lin Ba and the others who had submitted, felt their hearts trembling. What should they do?

If the Lifire Empyrean was victorious, wouldn’t they, the ones who turned traitor, be in extremely dire straits?

Just as they were worrying, thunderous rumbling sounds rang out. Jialan Jiangshan coughed out blood, the impact from the attack flung him through the air as the lifire dragons chased after him, breathing out molten-like flames. Jialan Jiangshan continuously retreated but he was struck once again. His entire body glowed red from the heat and he resembled a devil who came out from a fiery lava hell.

With an explosive bang, Jialan Jiangshan’s aura wavered. His body was riddled with wounds as his countenance paled while he continued to retreat. The Lifire Empyrean closed in. The lifire dragons flew around him, the might they exuded boring down on everything. His eyes shone with lifire flames and everywhere he stared at, would burn up in flames.

“For traitors, all of you shall be annihilated.” The Lifire Empyrean coldly spoke. At this instant, numerous auras erupted forth. Those who were convinced by Qin Wentian, wanted to change their side once more. They directly rushed at the experts from the Emperor Pavilion and Jialan Clan as they launched attacks. The situation reversed in an instant. These people wanted to live on no matter what. Backing the Lifire Empyrean was the right choice.

“Puchi…” A light sound rang out. Sword qi whistled, directly slicing off the head of an immortal emperor.

The swishing sound continued. The sword qi river around Qin Wentian flowed swiftly forth and to the shock of the crowd, they discovered that the enemy immortal emperors kept dying one after another. These immortal emperors turned with difficulty, wanting to see who was it that killed them. When they spotted Qin Wentian, their expressions turned ashen as despair and terror painted their faces.

“Fickle-minded people who keep changing their sides. Why do we need such despicable subordinates at all?” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. His white robes fluttered as he took a step forth, instantly appearing beside Jialan Jiangshan.

The lifire dragons rushed over in a frenzy, breathing molten flames. However, an empyrean aura radiated from Qin Wentian. The sword qi river flowed towards the lifire dragons, drowning them in its tide. At the same time, numerous spatial prisons appeared in the air, imprisoning the dragons within.

The lifire dragons howled in anger, thrashing against the prison walls, wanting to break free.

“This…”

Everyone stared up in the sky, feeling their hearts trembling violently, as though they don’t dare to believe what their eyes were seeing.

The northern governor Qin Wentian, he actually stood right before the Lifire Empyrean, preparing to clash against the Lifire Empyrean directly?

“Oh heavens, who can tell me what’s going on?” Someone mumbled speechlessly to himself. This person was from the northern governor’s manor. He originally already treated Qin Wentian as a peerless existence akin to a divinity. Now that he saw his governor actually able to stand against the Lifire Empyrean, he felt his blood surging with excitement all of a sudden.
