Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 842: Tempest

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

A tempest was currently forming within the Sage Devil Gorge.

Before a lake, there was a fifth-level ascendant that was a core disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect whose eyes flickered with a cold light as he noticed a pinpoint of light nearing his location, as he prepared to hunt that participant down.

However at this moment, he suddenly frowned. All of a sudden, another three pinpoints of light in the distance seemed to be heading straight in his direction. And not long after, the three pinpoints of lights seemed to have discovered his presence and directly soared over.

”There’s someone who joined forces?” The countenance of the core disciple turned stiff, as a look of puzzlement flashed in his eyes. A raging wind gusted, the silhouettes of three experts appeared near him. The young man in the center had blood-color demonic pupils and was staring right at him. This man has a 100 meter physique and his entire being was radiating a towering battle might. He was clad in armor and looked as though he was about to conquer the world.

”Damn!”

The expression on the core disciple drastically changed. He discovered that these three were currently rushing straight at him. He turned and abruptly fled away. However, he only discovered the speed of the three participants got increasingly faster. A terrifyingly large palm imprint grabbed over and there were even the whizzing sound of divine falcons swooping through air. Under such pressure, the core disciple turned pale as he turned back only to see two sources of destructive energy blasting into him. With an explosive boom, his body directly shattered apart, dying on the spot.

Another fifth-level ascendant rushed over upon noticing the commotion, just in time to witness this shocking scene. His heart pounded rapidly, after that he started at Qin Wentian only to hear Qin Wentian addressing him. ”In this place, they can monitor all our movements and hunt us down one by one. You still being alive indicates that your strength isn’t too bad. Earlier this core disciple was prepared to hunt you down and now, I no longer feel like waiting passively for the disciples to attack. I want to initiate the attacks instead, counter-hunting them down. Are you willing to join us?”

The expression on the participant’s face flickered. After so many days, he had indeed encountered quite a few hunters. If it wasn’t for his strength, he would have fallen here long ago. In addition, this man before him seemed to be tyrannically strong, able to initiate attacks against the disciples. If he could join his group, there should be a much higher chance of passing this test.

”Sure.” That participant nodded. Qin Wentian waved his hand, ”Move out.”

The four of them soared into the skies and continued onwards. On the way, they encountered an external disciple of the Eastern Sage immortal Sect. Upon seeing four participants together, the external disciple sought to run away only to be destroyed by a slap from Qin Wentian.

A punitive tempest hereby starts now...They, would cause terrifying waves and storms within the Sage Devil Gorge, no longer being the ‘prey,’ but being the hunter instead to pass this test. The weak are food for the strong so in that case, they would rather seize the initiative to hunt down the disciples rather than waiting to be hunted down passively.

Many days later…

The hunting activities by the disciples continued on, as the number of participants dwindled.

However, the tempest had already taken form.

At this moment there was an elite disciple, who was a fifth-level ascendant, staring at a location not far from him. Over there, he saw a total of twenty pinpoints of light gathered together. This meant that over in that location, there was a total of twenty fifth-level ascendants who were participants.

These participants had all gathered together. In this case, things would definitely be troublesome, he had to gather all the elite disciples to disrupt the plans of these guys. If not, all twenty of them might very well pass the selection test, destroying the original intention of the Eastern Immortal Sacred Sect. As the supervisors of this test, the elite disciples definitely had to step in.

He took out a summon treasure and shot out a ray of light. But as the ray of light shot through the air, the twenty participants were already speeding over to him.

”Hmph.” That elite disciple snorted coldly, he wanted to see what these people were up to. Based on his strength, even if the number of his opponents were more than him, nobody would be able to stop him if he wished to leave.

An instant later, the twenty participants appeared before him. Their aura was extremely terrifying, like a gust of raging wind that blew over.

”STOP THERE!” That elite disciple explosively roared, his voice akin to tidal waves rumbling the space in the surroundings. However, the participants didn’t stop in the slightest. The 100 meter giant in the lead directly sped forward, leading the rest of the pack.

”Bzz!” At the center of the giant’s brow, a third eye appeared. In just an instant, he felt his mind spinning about, this was followed by a rumbling sound as a Grand Nihility Palm Imprint blasted over. With a roar of anger, his aura violently gushed out as he launched out an attack which caused the palm imprint to shatter. But at this time, the participants had already descended, rushing towards him. The elite disciple’s countenance drastically changed, wanting to turn and flee yet he saw only another gigantic palm imprint blasting over, locking down the space he was in.

”DAMN!” The countenance of the elite disciple turned incredibly unsightly, he didn’t expect this group of participants would be so domineering. Right now, his body felt as though it had entered a swamp, he had no way to retreat at all, while the participants were all rushing towards him with killing intent in their eyes.

”BOOM!” A deafening sound that shook the heavens echoed out, that elite disciple was smashed to death by the attacks launched by the twenty participants. His corpse fell down unceremoniously and this group of silhouettes didn’t even stop for a moment as they continued on their way, searching to hunt down more targets.

After they left, disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect appeared here one after another in response to the summon issued earlier. Upon seeing the corpse of the elite disciple, all their countenances were extremely ugly to behold.

Xia Hou and Blackpeak also arrived. At this moment, Xia Hou was trembling violently. He stared at a fifth-level ascendant disciple at the side as he asked, ”How many do they have?”

”Twenty.” That person stared in the direction where Qin Wentian and the others were heading towards to as he spoke. Xia Hou instantly turned ashen. It was unknown how many elite disciples had already died and this recent corpse was another one as well. Was this Qin Wentian’s rage? Before this Xia Hou gathered people to gang up on and hunt him down and that person wanted to pay him back in his own coin. Qin Wentian started to lead participants, gathering them together to hunt down the disciples of their Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and nobody could stop him.

He alone could already fight against so many others on the same level. If he led people to hunt the disciples down, there was basically nobody at the same level who can defend against him. Unless there was a fifth-level ascendant Sage Child character appearing here.

”What should we do?” Panic could be seen on the faces of those disciples. If there wasn’t a solution, there would be more and more disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect dying and they, this bunch of elite disciples who were the supervisors of this selection test, would surely become a joke henceforth. It was extremely humiliating.

The disciples were here solely to hunt down the participants, searching for those with high enough talents to join the core disciples. Yet now, they were being counter-hunted instead.

Xia Hou’s expression was incredibly ugly to behold. What should he do? How would he know what to do?

Qin Wentian gathered fifth-level ascendants to kill disciples on the same level. This is something within the rules. But if people like him, who has a higher cultivation base acted, that would be in defiance of the rules. Xia Hou didn’t dare to do this, openly challenging the rules the sect had set.

And also in truth, it was his actions that caused Qin Wentian to be so enraged, walking on the path of the hunter. It was him who started the whole thing, gathering a group to gang up and hunt Qin Wentian; but sadly, he didn’t succeed and now, Qin Wentian was using his method to deal with disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.

Right now, the only thing that can stop Qin Wentian was to make all fifth-level ascendant disciples to stop hunting solo, gathering together to surround Qin Wentian’s group of twenty participants.

”Gather all the elite disciples, and summon all fifth-level ascendants here.” Xia Hou’s eyes flickered coldly as those in the surroundings nodded. Upon seeing the number of pinpoints of light, they understood this was the only way left to salvage the situation.

Qin Wentian and his group continued their hunt and in the process, the number of people in their group increased further. Qin Wentian returned to his normal size, because as the group grew stronger, there was no need for him to fight anymore in such a violent manner. Several in the group were extremely powerful experts from all thirteen prefectures, and there were even some whose rankings were near the top. All of them were lofty individuals and weren’t very willing to submit to someone. Once they encountered disciples who were on the same level as them, they would directly slay the person themselves.

As time flowed by, Qin Wentian realized that he was not the only one who had this idea. The other participants in this place were also influenced by him and cultivators of the same level all started to form their own groups, joining forces to hunt the disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.

The battles within the Sage Devil Gorge grew increasingly brutal, and it was no longer the case where the disciples held the overwhelming advantage.

The disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect all discovered this change respectively. They also started not to solo hunt participants and formed into small teams of three to five, gradually joining forces. In addition to the summons by the elite disciples, the experts on both sides continued gathering unceasingly as this tempest swept over the boundlessly vast Sage Devil Gorge.

Qin Wentian’s group already had over forty people. Everywhere they passed, disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would definitely die. But they gradually discovered that it was more and more difficult for them to encounter the disciples. Not only for disciples at the fifth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, they gradually didn’t even meet any other disciples of different cultivation levels.

At this moment, a dangerous aura gushed over from afar. An instant later, Qin Wentian saw a group of participants gathered together, with around thirty plus people in number. Gu Zhantian, the top ranker of the Cloud Prefecture was within that group and stood in the center, faintly exuding an aura of being the leader. His eyes glanced at Qin Wentian as his eyes flashed with coldness. The debt between him and Qin Wentian hadn’t been settled yet. Let’s hope Qin Wentian wouldn’t die during this selection test.

Experts of these two groups brushed past by each other. They each had their own opponents.

Not only for participants of these two particular cultivation level, right now the experts within the gorge were all gathering as they started hunting in groups. Yet, they also discovered it was becoming tougher and tougher to locate disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. At the end, they couldn’t even find a single one.

At this moment in a certain area of the Sage Devil Gorge, a number of silhouettes clad in various hues of gold all gathered there. These people were separated into a total of nine teams according to their level of cultivation, and they were all disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.

Elite disciples stood at the forefront of their teams, leading the others. Xia Hou was naturally here as well.

His eyes flashed with extreme coldness as he stared toward the horizons. This time the hunting exercise in the Sage Devil Gorge had actually caused their sect to suffer such grievous losses. Since this is the case, he will make sure those people pay a painful price for their actions.

Right now, all the tiers of disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect that were participating in this hunting exercise were all gathered here for the last battle of slaughter!
