Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Donghuang Ying returned to where the other experts of the Eastern Royal Immortal Realm were and her expression was extremely unsightly. She always thought that she has treated Qin Wentian very politely, but she didn’t expect Qin Wentian would conduct himself in such a way and slander Yue Changkong. When she thought back to those years ago when Qin Wentian warned her that there was a problem with Yue Changkong’s character, she couldn’t help but feel that it’s true Qin Wentian was really jealous of Yue Changkong for stealing his limelight.

If not, when Yue Changkong challenged Qin Wentian earlier, why didn’t he dare to accept the battle?

“Little princess, I feel that Brother Qin’s words are not without logic. Could you not have discovered that Yue Changkong’s character is really problematic? If not, why would he intentionally injure the young woman from the Luoshen Clan and even insulted her clan like that?” Xiao Yu, who was beside her, spoke in a low voice. Donghuang Ying glanced at Xiao Yu and her face was cold, “You are also jealous of Yue Changkong? Is it because he is still standing there in the position he occupied while you were ousted by others?”

Xiao Yu’s countenance instantly paled, he stared with some disbelief at this beautiful young woman whom he was acquainted with for many years. Their relationship had always been very good, even if the little princess fell in love with others, their friendship still existed. He didn’t expect her to humiliate him directly like this.

At this moment, Xiao Yu felt as though his heart turned to ashes.

“Xiao Yu don’t mind her. Xiao Ying only said that in the spur of the moment.” An old man from the Donghuang Clan at the side spoke. “Yue Changkong has extraordinary talent and has also obtained the Time King’s inheritance, it’s very normal for him to be arrogant. He has suppressed himself before this, only revealing his arrogance upon defeating an expert from the Luoshen Clan. Although this is slightly brazen, why can’t he do so? For geniuses, which of them aren’t confident and arrogant?”

“Mhm.” Xiao Yu nodded lightly and didn’t say anything more but his heart was filled with sorrow. Seems like even the elders of the Donghuang Clan supports Yue Changkong. There was no choice, Yue Changkong was the one chosen by the Time King and the Time King himself would be waiting for him in the future. For such a character, even immensely powerful world overlords would have to show some respect to him. Let alone the fact that the attitude Yue Changkong has shown Donghuang Ying, the Donghuang Clan would naturally support them being together. As for him, Xiao Yu, who could he be considered as?

“Now, we can tell her real feelings from her attitude. Before this I’ve already said that when I asked who she would support if Qin Wentian fought against Yue Changkong, her reply felt very fake.” Ten Miles Springwind smiled, he wasn’t really disappointed. He had always been a good judge of character and has met many people like Donghuang Ying before. Hence, his mood wasn’t affected.

“His cultivation base now is merely at the World Overlord Realm, he hasn’t become a character like the Sword Monarch. The various powers need not fall over in a rush to form good relationships with him, right? No matter what, these major characters are all famous and reputable people in the Mystic Region, they should at least save some face for themselves.” Cao Tian didn’t care at all, directly denouncing those who spoke out for Yue Changkong.

Qin Wentian felt some warmth in his heart. Right now, many major characters at the convention all supported Yue Changkong. Donghuang Ying also revealed her true attitude. Only those people who partook in the robbery of the Heaven Immortal Tower still stood by him. Sometimes, they would share joy, and cursed at each other. But are they not true friends? Such things need not be specifically spoken of. At critical moments, whether someone was a true friend or not, would automatically be revealed.

Before this when Qin Wentian said that sentence with regards to the Time King’s inheritance, many ignored him.

In fact, many thought that those were words spoken in anger, trying to insult Yue Changkong. But who would have expected that that sentence was nothing but the truth?

Only that powerful world overlord from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy felt that it was the truth. He has been paying attention to Qin Wentian and when Qin Wentian condensed his eighth astral soul earlier, he personally went over to ask what attribute was it. Qin Wentian replied that it was the time-attribute, Qin Wentian said that he was inspired by the Time King’s legend and hence, he decided to condense a time-attribute astral soul.

However, how could one easily condense a time-attribute astral soul? In addition, the laws of time were among the most supreme and powerful laws and they were the toughest to comprehend. Just because of the Time King’s story, he went to condense a time-attribute astral soul just like that?

Qin Wentian also didn’t have any intentions to compete, was he trying to conceal something?

Earlier, the casual statement he spoke, did he want to reveal something?

“Strength is the best method to prove everything. No matter if your words are logical or not, strength is the determinant on whether you have the authority to speak. The voice of the old man from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy drifted into Qin Wentian’s ears. “Why don’t you participate in the constellation battles? I don’t feel that you are someone who is afraid to lose face because of a defeat. The Ziwei Divine Court is a hegemonic level power and truly has some extraordinary aspects to it. Do you have any apprehensions?”

Qin Wentian started after he heard this. He glanced in the direction of that old man from the sacred academy and replied using a voice transmission, “Senior, this junior is long used to freedom and I don’t like restrictions. If I became a disciple of a peak power, I would have to follow their orders.”

“You mean you don’t intend to join any of the peak powers of the Mystic Region? Hence, you intentionally avoided contact with the Ziwei Divine Court?” That expert asked, feeling somewhat strange in his heart. This young fellow was really interesting.

“I guess so.” Qin Wentian didn’t really need to conceal this. He still felt good will towards the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, hence he spoke directly. In any case, it didn’t really matter if this information was spread.

“Don’t worry, if your performance is really outstanding and attracts the attention of the Ziwei Divine Court, you can simply say that you are going to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy to cultivate. The people of the Ziwei Divine Court won’t force you. Naturally, our Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy wouldn’t impose any restrictions on you, you can leave whenever you want and stay as long as you wish for.” The old man laughed. Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. Given this old man’s status, there was no need for him to lie to him. In that case, this old man was truly confident that the Ziwei Divine Court wouldn’t be able to interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.

The two of them communicated via voice transmission and the amount of time it took was only a few moments. Yue Changkong still stood in the air and stared down at everything. There was still a carefree look of grace on his face, exuding an extraordinary aura. The countless world overlords gathered for the convention watched everything that was happening. They felt that although Qin Wentian was also a supreme character, he was clearly inferior compared to Yue Changkong who gained the inheritance of the Time King. The experts from the various powers naturally understood who they should support.

“As for everything Brother Qin has said, I don’t wish to offer any explanations. Since Brother Qin wants to insult me like this, I have to issue a challenge to him once again no matter what.” Yue Changkong spoke. This casual sentence by itself was an expression of dominance. No matter what you say, I won’t rebut. Let’s fight it out. Strength will decide everything.

Many people stared at Qin Wentian with interest, as though waiting to see him ridicule himself. Would he avoid the battle again? If that was the case, everything he said before would be nothing but courting his own humiliation. He would no longer have any face to remain in the Time Realm.

“I’ll grant you your wish.” Qin Wentian stepped out, directly flying towards the constellation ocean. In an instant, the light from the constellations enveloped him. His white robes and long hair fluttered in the wind and that in addition to his handsome countenance, even those unhappy with Qin Wentian couldn’t help but to admit he does truly seem like an extraordinary individual. One mustn’t forget that he once displayed thirteen kinds of heavenheart mandates and insta-killed Longyuan Haoyu.

It’s just that right now, his opponent was stronger than Longyuan Haoyu by an unknown amount of times. Yue Changkong was a true peak genius of the Mystic Region.

Yue Changkong has already experienced many battles before. His world heart, Moon Radiance had a supreme binding force that could cause everything in its area of effect to halt to stillness. His heavenheart mandate attacks were also tyrannical to the extreme with incredible speed.

“Brother Qin, please make your move. If not, if I release my world heart, I’m afraid Brother Qin won’t have any chance to attack.” Yue Changkong smiled.

“This is the true you. There’s no need to mask your arrogance. You have fought so many battles, are you not tired that you have to pretend to be humble and courteous for every single battle?” Qin Wentian stared at Yue Changkong.

“Haha, since Brother Qin put it like that, I would have to be arrogant for this once then.” Yue Changkong laughed. As the sound of his voice faded, his world heart and innate heavenheart mandate were released at the same moment. An instant later, moon light with a sense of desolation landed on Qin Wentian, binding everything here. Qin Wentian could feel his body being halted.

The power of this heavenheart mandate, did it integrate the source origins of time laws? That might be the case.

In the next instant, Qin Wentian released his world heart and innate heavenheart mandate. Their energy enveloped this entire space and Qin Wentian’s aura suddenly changed. Even if his movements were bound, he was still like a divinity, like the god of this world. This was his world heart, his will is equal to heaven’s will. No one can defy it.

The Qin Wentian right now could sense killing intent. Yue Changkong wanted to kill him.

This caused an extremely cold light to flash through Qin Wentian’s eyes. Between him and Yue Changkong, there shouldn’t be any great hatred. Yue Changkong wanted to kill him simply because he denounced Yue Changkong as a shameless and despicable person earlier? In that case if he did so, wouldn’t all his acting in the past be seen through? Or was there some other reason he didn’t know of?

In fact, the true reason was that Yue Changkong suspected Qin Wentian was the person the Time King was waiting for in the future. Hence, if he killed him, no one would know this secret forever.

Numerous fearsome attacks akin to thunderbolts that brimmed with tyrannical might directly shot towards Qin Wentian.

From the looks of things, these immensely destructive attacks were about to blast into Qin Wentian but at this moment, Qin Wentian’s body seemingly shifted backwards by a little and the tyrannical attacks actually stopped before him, unable to hit him.

“Wait, he didn’t actually move.” The eyes of everyone flashed. Qin Wentian’s body didn’t move at all but those attacks couldn’t get close to him, let alone blasting into him. Although the distance between the attacks and his body seemed near, they were as far as worlds apart.

A terrifying coldness shone in Qin Wentian’s eyes. At this moment, a fearsome beam of light appeared in the space around Yue Changkong, shooting from the void. The speed of this attack was extremely quick and there seemed to be no way for Yue Changkong to block it. However at this moment, Yue Changkong suddenly glowed with light and when the attack was about to land on him, that beam of light involuntarily grinded to a halt, unable to advance any further.

During the moments when the two of them exchanged blows, the eyes of many world overlords gleamed with sharpness. The two of them were so powerful and were using similar methods yet different types of energy. Both their world hearts and innate heavenheart mandates were immensely domineering, shocking everyone. Qin Wentian’s movements were restricted but Yue Changkong’s attacks couldn’t hit him. Yue Changkong stood there, the terrifying beam of light that shot out from the void was forced to halt when it neared him.

In this case, both of them have extraordinary world hearts. Which of them was the stronger one?!
