Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 2009: Before the Storm

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the return of the godking from the Universe Region shook the entire world.

After that, news got circulated out. One of the eight ancient godkings, Godking Desolate, he was actually a royal-blooded heaven devouring beast. He suffered a backlash and got heavily injured during cultivation and soon after that, the Godking from the Universe Region sneak attacked him and imprisoned him in the western paradise, absorbing all his power away.

This news caused the views of many people towards the buddhist path to turn topsy-turvy. For some of the powerful cultivators, they were shocked but didn’t feel that this was unbelievable. After all, a battle at that level would surely be extremely ferocious. They understood that regardless of deities or Buddhas, everyone was still human. Humans weren’t sages. In order to ascend to the peak of the world, one naturally had to step on the bones of many others.

For example in this era, the western world, the Heaven Vault, Yue Changkong and Che Hou. They were the representatives of the current pinnacle in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. A war would surely happen between these four grand factions. At that time, it was unknown how many people would die.

Everyone could faintly sense that that day was soon approaching.

Now, it was the calm before the storm. This upcoming storm would surely engulf the entire world.

This news was naturally circulated to the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect as well. After Qin Wentian learned of it, he felt a chill in his heart. Seems like his conjectures were correct. Little Rascal’s origin was actually so powerful. Also, that Buddha Sovereign who was the godking of the Universe Region was actually such a despicable person. Naturally, Qin Wentian had already experienced the methods of the western paradise before. Regardless of the Karma Buddha or Reincarnation Buddha, their methods were truly filthy to the extreme. Hence, he wasn’t too surprised by this news.

He was thinking that if these buddhist cultivators were like the Bodhi Abbot who was fully devoted to Buddhism and had sacrificed himself back then, the western paradise wouldn’t have become such a place.

True buddhas weren’t in the western paradise. The buddhas in the western paradise were buddhas who were enamored with strength and power. What they cultivated wasn’t virtue and kindness, they cultivated strength.

Qin Wentian initially wanted to hide this from Little Rascal but Little Rascal eventually learned about it. Back then, he saw the scenes of his parents in that dream-like state. From then on, Little Rascal was often distracted and unable to focus. Now that he learned of this news, his roars of anger shook the Heaven Vault as a baleful aura permeated the air. He wanted nothing more than to kill his way into the western world and destroy the western paradise.

His gigantic form soared through the air, flying towards the Heaven Vault’s exit. Qin Wentian’s figure appeared, blocking him. “Little Rascal, right now, a huge change has occurred in the western world. The godking of the Universe Region has returned. He is sure to be exceedingly powerful. It’s highly probable that we would be unable to kill him now.”

That was a true godking, someone alive from the ancient era until now. Now, his return actually caused such a huge commotion. Also, it was a given that he possesses godking techniques from ancient times. Even though Qin Wentian was very confident in his own strength, he didn’t dare to say that he would be able to deal with the godking from the Universe Region. The Buddha Sovereign is a true godking existence.

It was naturally more impossible for Little Rascal to be a match for the Buddha Sovereign. Compared to the western world, Qin Wentian and the experts of the Heaven Vault still needed more time.

“I’m going to devour that bald donkey.” Little Rascal coldly spoke. The baleful qi transformed into terrifying clouds of demonic qi. It was one thing if he doesn’t know about his origins. But now, after learning that he is a descendant of Godking Desolate and his parents were killed by the bald donkey of the western paradise, one could very well imagine the killing intent in his heart.

“I’ll take revenge for you. Not only for you, the debt of Little Ye’s revenge as well. But the time is not now. Our enemy isn’t solely the western world, there’s still Yue Changkong in the dark and Che Hou’s hostility. No one knows when they will attack the Heaven Vault. We have to grow stronger and become much stronger than before.” Qin Wentian spoke. It wasn’t that he didn’t wish to kill their enemies. In truth, although he killed the Karma Buddha, was he the only one responsible for Little Ye’s death?

The western world has always coveted the Heaven Vault. They once urged the hegemonic powers to gather and attack together. Qin Wentian had long felt hatred for them in his heart. He was the same as a little Rascal and wanted nothing more than to raze the holy ground of the Buddhist Sect to flat ground.

Little Rascal turned over and stared at Qin Wentian. His large saucer-like eyes were blood-red. When Qin Wentian saw his eyes, his heart involuntarily trembled. He felt somewhat unbearable. He then spoke, “But if you insist on going to the western paradise now, I’ll accompany you.”

“ROAR!” A low-sounding roar echoed from Little Rascal’s throat, it sounded hoarse, like he was trying to suppress his anger. He looked into Qin Wentian’s eyes. The two of them had became connected telepathically since a long time ago, he knew what Qin Wentian said was the truth, Qin Wentian was willing to accompany him. However, how could he harm Qin Wentian and toss away his rationale for the sake of his revenge?

Little Rascal turned his head away and glanced at the Heaven Vault. Behind him, many familiar faces appeared. These people had accompanied them in the Heaven Vault for many years and could be considered kin to him. They were also kin to Qin Wentian and many of them needed Qin Wentian to protect them.

“HOWL!” A howl of violence echoed out. Little Rascal’s gigantic body turned as he flew into the sky, into the nine heavenly layers as he began to devour the astral light from the constellations.

Qin Wentian could imagine how much pain and hatred there was now in Little Rascal’s heart. He had felt the same way when he learned of what the Qin Clan did to his father back then. The anger he felt was like it could burn through everything. At that time, he wanted nothing more than to kill his way into the Qin Clan and obtain revenge for his father.

But even so, Little Rascal had chosen to endure for his sake and for the Heaven Vault.

Right now, the situation in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms wasn’t calm at all. It was already exceedingly difficult to deal with the western paradise and Yue Changkong. And now, another Che Hou has appeared. The pressure boring down on the Heaven Vault was far greater than before.

Qin Wentian sent people to monitor the situation in multiple locations. The people of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect also made preparations, they could easily retreat into the Heaven Vault any time in the event of enemy attacks. Qin Wentian knew that once the situation in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms changed, that change would be an earth-shattering one for sure.

As for himself, he allowed everyone in the divine sect to enter the Heaven Vault for cultivation. Even the experts from the Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavens Mystical Palace were permitted to enter. Right now, the Heaven Vault needed to increase their strength to better deal with any upcoming changes.

After several days, a person arrived at the Heaven Vault. The people of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect didn’t obstruct him because the person who came was none other than that expert who went to threaten the western world, causing darkness to descend there – the Grim Reaper.

It was also rumoured that the Heaven Vault Controller, Qin Wentian, has received his inheritance. Naturally, no one in the divine sect would obstruct him.

Qin Wentian soon received news of the Grim Reaper’s arrival. After that, he swiftly ended his cultivation and rushed out to meet the crazy old freak. The appearance of the old freak now had extraordinary meaning to him. Currently, the Heaven Vault was severely lacking in peak-level combatants.

“Old fellow, you are finally willing to appear.” Qin Wentian spoke as the old freak walked closer. This old man’s movements had always been so mysterious. It was tough even if he wanted to meet with him.

“Why? Are you feeling the pressure?” The old freak glanced at Qin Wentian. “Are you not already very powerful now?”

“I’ve never truly fought against an ancient godking before. But from what I saw of the methods of Godking Xi, I truly have no idea if I can fight against a godking or not.” Qin Wentian spoke.

“You can be considered to know your own limits. This time, the bald donkey would be stronger than ever after his return. You should be prepared. The bald donkey is in control of a great dao that might spark a grand war which engulfs the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Things would be the same as the world-ending battle from back then.” The eyes of the crazy old freak were extremely cold. Back then, that world-leading battle destroyed the entire Azure Mystic. He had never forgotten that at all.

And now, that scene from back then might repeat itself but this time, the target of the war was the Heaven Vault.

“I won’t let what happened to Ancient Azure Mystic happen to the Heaven Vault. Old fellow, stay behind and help me. We will defeat the western world and obtain revenge for Azure Mystic.” Qin Wentian spoke.

“Back then when you discovered the ancient battlefield, everyone had hope. They hoped that there would come a day where you lead an army of deities to conquer all thirty-three immortal realms, unifying the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and seek justice for what happened in the past. Only then would a new world order be found, the glory of Ancient Azure Mystic would be recovered too. I naturally won’t sit back and do nothing. Where is Beiming Youhuang? Her current cultivation base should be pretty high as well, right?”

“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded. “Youhuang is very powerful in terms of her attainments in the soul. She has that treasure of the Imperishable Heaven Lord. Now, she wouldn’t be afraid even if a group of deities ganged up on her. She can hold a region by herself independently.”

“Good. Tell her to come over, I’m going to bring her to a place.” The crazy old freak spoke. Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed before he nodded. He didn’t inquire too much. This crazy old freak spent so much effort to nurture him and Beiming Youhuang, he would naturally not harm them. There is bound to be something advantageous for Youhuang. He then took out his messaging crystal and contacted her. Not long after, Beiming Youhuang arrived here. She inclined her head and greeted the old freak, “Senior.”

“Mhm, Youhuang. Leave with me.” The crazy old freak spoke. Beiming Youhuang’s gaze turned to Qin Wentian. When he saw this scene, the lips of the crazy old freak twitched as he sighed, “Ai…your heart already belongs to someone. I can be considered your half-master but it seems that my words are completely useless.”

Beiming Youhuang flushed after she heard this. She shivered a little and glanced at Qin Wentian.

“Youhuang, you should go with the old fellow.” Qin Wentian spoke.

“Mhm.” Beiming Youhuang nodded. She glanced at the crazy old freak, ” Senior, let’s go.”

“This brat simply has too many women.” The old freak sighed and brought Beiming Youhuang away. Qin Wentian’s face was filled with black lines. He stared at Beiming Youhuang’s back while silently musing. When he meets her again in the future, she should definitely be even stronger, right? Since the old freak wanted to bring her away, it’s clear that he wouldn’t bring her away to do useless things.

It’s just that he had no idea when she would return.

Qin Wentian had a premonition that when Youhuang returns, it might very well be in the midst of the grand war between the four grand factions. At that time, what a scene would that be? How many people around him would die?

When he thought of this, an extremely powerful obsession manifested in his heart. He had to grow stronger, much stronger than he is now. Only by doing so would he be able to protect the people around him when the grand war of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms erupts!
