Lei Ba froze. That gigantic Thundergod Hammer was destroyed and the terrifying thunderstorm in the area gradually dissipated.

At this instant, countless people had eyes full of shock as they stared at this scene, their gazes transfixed on that gigantic hole in Lei Baʼs chest.

”This… how can this be possible?” Lei Ba lowered his head to stare at the hole in his chest. It was truly an alarming scene—that halberd had actually penetrated right through him. He, a supreme genius at the eighth level, had actually been struck down by someone at the sixth level.

It all felt like an illusion.

”BOOM!” There was no way Qin Wentian would be merciful. He lifted his halberd and struck out with it instantly, and that supreme destructive energy once again blasted through Lei Ba, nailing him in the air.

”You are truly weak. If you were this arrogant in the outside world, you would already be dead,” Qin Wentian coldly ridiculed, his voice descending from the skies, shocking all the experts. Qin Wentian jumped two levels to defeat Lei Ba, so he naturally had the qualifications to say all this. In truth, Lei Ba wasnʼt at all weak. But he had no way to refute Qin Wentianʼs words.

The transformed Thundergodʼs Child was a supreme existence that used the Thundergod Hammer. However, to be killed in the Sky Connecting Realm by a magnificence-exuding young man at the sixth-level just like that? If the two of them had met in the external world, Lei Ba would truly be dead by now.

Lei Ba inclined his head, staring at Qin Wentian with intense antagonism on his face. How could he have lost this battle?

Qin Wentian naturally wouldnʼt be bothered about what he was thinking and launched out another strike to finish the job. Lei Baʼs gigantic body fell from the sky, turning back to his original size as a power of law enveloped him, sending him out of the Sky Connecting Realm at the moment of his ʼdeathʼ.

But even if he exited the Sky Connecting Realm, there was no doubt that Lei Ba had definitely suffered an extremely serious injury.

Of the two supreme combatants who fought earlier, only Qin Wentian remained in the air. The experts of the Sky Connecting Realm had all personally witnessed the battle, which had served to further deepen the crowdʼs impression of Qin Wentian. Right now, not only did he have an outstanding talent, his combat prowess was similarly stunning as well.

”Insta-killing Huang Youdi of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empires, suppressing the white tiger king White-eye, defeating the Thundergodʼs Child Lei Ba of the Thundergod Hall in such a domineering fashion… Qin Wentian stepped on these three supreme genius one by one and carved out a path of glory.” Someone sighed with admiration. This battle had been enough to launch Qin Wentianʼs name into the sacred academyʼs annals of history. Although this battle couldnʼt be compared to the one with Huang Shatian, such achievements were still deemed as extremely praiseworthy.

Qin Wentian was truly very powerful.

Down on the ground, the expressions of the experts from the Thundergod Hall were heavily contorted. Thundergodʼs Child Lei Ba had actually been defeated. He was their sectʼs most outstanding character to enter the the sacred academy, yet he had ended up defeated at the hands of someone two levels lower than him.

For the greater demons of the White Tiger Race, their pride had constantly taken a beating ever since they first entangled with Qin Wentian. They had labeled Qin Wentian as a lowly human, and yet White-eye, a king of their race, couldnʼt even withstand a single one of his strikes.

For the experts of the Violet Emperor Sect, the Skymist Immortal Empire, and the Paragon Sword Sect, a heavy tide of emotions kept rocking their hearts. They didnʼt expect Qin Wentian to grow so quickly. Back in the Evergreen Immortal Empire, Qin Wentian had outstanding talent, but he wasnʼt as radiant. But after todayʼs battle, this was the first time they had truly felt the threat of Qin Wentian.

From afar, Chu Qingyi was still staring at him, feeling even more complicated in her heart. Heʼd gained a victory and defeated the Thundergodʼs Child Lei Ba. Right now, he was only at the sixth level of immortal-foundation. In the depths of her heart, Chu Qingyi began to believe more and more that there was a very high possibility for Qin Wentian to become that which was prophesied—the ancient emperor of this era.

Sometimes, when you stop looking at others through tinted lenses, only then would you discover the true brilliance radiating from that person.

Qing`er and Jun Mengchen both naturally saw this as well. In Qing`erʼs heart, she had no doubt that Qin Wentian could accomplish this. She had accompanied Qin Wentian since his youth and watched as he made his way out from his particle world to the immortal realms, growing step by step. Even during times of utmost difficulty, Qin Wentian would surely hold fast to his convictions and continue on his chosen pathway. Even in this sacred academy where the experts were as numerous as clouds, he could still exhibit a radiance that belonged solely to him. He had always been such an existence—nobody could mask his radiance.

The cold expression in Qing`erʼs eyes gradually turned to a gentle smile. Although that gentle smile flashed by in an instant, one could clearly see the depths of her emotions within.

”How could my senior brother lose to Lei Ba? Iʼve said it long ago that Lei Ba would definitely pay a most painful price. Itʼs just that I didnʼt expect his retribution to arrive so soon,” said Jun Mengchen. He wished to avenge himself but since his senior brother had defeated Lei Ba, it was all the same to him.

At this moment, the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe were all summoned here. They stared at the battlefield, their hearts struck with tumultuous waves. The former Saint Lord had truly selected an excellent Saint Lord for the new generation.

Qin Wentianʼs body gradually descended as his size returned to normal. His aura fluctuated a little as a result of the enormous consumption of his energy in the recent battle. Although heʼd managed to killed Lei Ba, it hadnʼt been an easy feat. During combat, heʼd also made the discovery that the treasured eight supreme Greater Demon arts he learned from the ancient cauldron could actually fuse together to form another kind of energy. It was by depending on that newly formed energy that heʼd managed to defeat Lei Ba.

”Brother Qin! As expected of a brother of this grand reverend, you do indeed share traces of my glory.” At this moment, a voice rang out. Everyone saw the monk Bujie laughing as he walked over. His words caused many to roll their eyes, bemoaning the shamelessness of this monk.

However, after glancing at the two monks beside Bujie, nobody dared to say anything. Buyu had his eyes closed and was silent, while Buchen was as handsome as ever, his robes untainted by the dust of the road. Right now, Bujie would tag along with his two senior brothers everywhere they went, using them to protect for himself. Who would dare to antagonize him?

Given Buyuʼs strength, if it wasnʼt a supreme character right at the very peak, who else in the sacred academy could be his match? Even the powerful Huang Shatian found it tough to break Buyuʼs defenses.

”But even so, my skin still isnʼt as thick as yours.” Qin Wentian laughed as he stared at Bujie. He had no malicious intents and was merely teasing the monk.

”You have fate with the Buddhist path. The force of truth-seeking, transforming into words of truth that contains boundless might—the power of that Buddhist art is very powerful. Did you have a master of the Buddhist path?” Buchen asked as he looked at Qin Wentian.

”No, this art of truth is something I managed to comprehend after crossing the immortal sea,” Qin Wentian replied, hiding nothing from Buchen.

”From the academy?” Buchen felt somewhat taken aback. ”Iʼve wandered all four academies, even exploring the depths of the remote locations but Iʼve never seen this Buddhist art.”

”I used a method of seeking truth to cross the immortal sea. After that, I entered a special dimension and obtained the art of truth. But now, I have no idea where that place is currently.” Qin Wentian smiled bitterly as he shook his head.

Buchen nodded lightly, a look of contemplation could be seen on his face. He spoke in a low voice, ”The Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy is boundlessly mystical and full of marvels. This is a good fortune that belongs to you. Also, even the Sky Connecting Realm has two levels to it. Now that youʼve entered the Supreme Might Rankings twice, I believe you should be qualified to enter the second level.”

”Indeed, Iʼm here precisely because of this. The entrance to the second level is at the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock,” Qin Wentian admitted openly. Right now, many people were already aware of some secrets of the Sky Connecting Realm—that there was a high possibility that the realm could lead to other hidden dimensions.

As he spoke, Qin Wentian turned his gaze to the crowd. Today, he had finally reunited with his friends and comrades, but all his enemies successively turned out as well. Given the conflict between both sides, it was troublesome to even cultivate peacefully.

”I know many of you wish for my death, but it is restricted by the academyʼs rules. Thus it is destined that none of you can kill me. So from now onwards, I forbid all of you from disturbing me or my friends. If you want to kill me, I will play whatever games you all want to play once we exit the sacred academy. But in this place, if thereʼs still someone acting against my friends, I swear I will make you all pay a dreadful price. Donʼt even think that you can get a single day of peaceful cultivation in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.”

Qin Wentian coldly announced. The experts from the Battle Saint Tribe radiated cold intent as a heavy pressure built up in the air. Regardless of the people from the Skymist Immortal Empire or the Violet Emperor Sect, they knew that Qin Wentian was speaking the truth. They had no way to deal with Qin Wentian at this moment and if they continued in their attempts, Qin Wentian would pay them back in their own coin, leading to both sides losing their peace-filled days. In the sacred academy, the most important thing was ultimately advancing oneʼs own cultivation.

”Where did those people pursuing you vanish off to?” asked an expert from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. Since Qin Wentian could kill Lei Ba after his breakthrough, could it be that those pursuing him had all died by his hands? However, the timing didnʼt seem to be right. Qin Wentianʼs name was removed from the Supreme Might Rankings at a certain point, indicating that he had broken through. However, at that point in time, the experts pursuing him had already vanished long before then.

”Would you believe it if I told you that Iʼve already killed them?” Qin Wentian coldly replied, causing the brows of his enemies to furrow. Truly, they didnʼt believe him. But where did those people go?

”In the future, once we leave the sacred academy and you all want a life-and-death battle with me, Qin, then I will definitely accept it,” Qin Wentian continued. If he was alone, he didnʼt mind at all. But right now, he had many friends and even Qing`er together with him. Hence, his heart was full of trepidation. His enemies similarly held their own concerns, so all of them snorted coldly and soared away, departing the area.

A streak of white-colored lightning shot into Qin Wentianʼs embrace as a baby-like voice cried out, ”Qin Wentian, did you miss this Baobao?”

”Seems like these days your life has been extremely comfortable.” Qin Wentian hugged Little Rascal as he smiled.

Qin Wentian carried Little Rascal and walked to Qing`erʼs side, a gentle smile softening his face. ”Iʼve finally chased those flies away. Itʼs so rare to have such a quiet moment like this in this academy.”

”The second level of the Sky Connecting Realm, I wish to see you enter there,” Qing`er murmured in a low voice, her words causing Qin Wentian to start. Staring at the cool and beautiful features of Qing`er, he bitterly smiled. ”Qing`er, Iʼve just seen you yet youʼre already trying to chase me away?”

Qing`erʼs countenance was still as cool as ever. She silently gazed at him with her beautiful eyes, yet Qin Wentian could feel currents of warmth in his heart. He naturally understood Qing`erʼs intentions. She hoped that he could grow stronger and stronger. If there was a second level to the Sky Connecting Realm, Qing`er wished for him to enter that place as soon as possible.

”Alright, I will listen to you,” Qin Wentian acquiesce in a low voice. After that, he gracefully turned and walked over tothe Sky Connecting Immortal Rock, then stated, ”Make sure to take care of Qing`er.”

The experts of the Battle Saint Tribe nodded their heads, knowing that Qin Wentianʼs words were meant for them.

After that, they only saw Qin Wentian arriving before the immortal rock, and the light radiating from him shone onto the rock before the rock turned illusory, opening up a void gate as Qin Wentian stepped directly within!
