Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian's body was like that of a true fiendgod, with countless ancient characters revolving around him. At this moment he seemed close to the brink of destruction. Qing`er, Mo Qingcheng, the experts of the Southern Phoenix Clan, and the Battle Saint Tribe were all overwrought with concern but they had no qualifications to participate in a battle of this level. Only Qin Wentian would be able to save himself.

At this instant, Qin Wentian looked at the scene before him. Countless human emperors were being shattered and yet they still continued to rush towards him. Huang Shatian stood right before him and with a stab of his finger, he caused all the silhouettes of these human emperors to follow his orders, causing damage to Qin Wentian's defenses. Throughout the ongoing destruction, the expression in Huang Shatian's eyes remained as calm as ever.

Qin Wentian's immortal foundation was now the color of blood, radiating terrifying demonic qi as it continued to unleash powerful Greater Demon techniques. It seemed that it was calling on the entirety of its power to defend against the destructive might that Huang Shatian unleashed. However, all this seemed to be useless. In a few short moments, that might broke through everything and slammed into his body, and his surroundings were suddenly sealed by the nine human emperors, cutting off his path of retreat.

In that caged space, there was only pure annihilation. No one at the immortal-foundation level would be able to escape from such an attack.

"BOOM!"

Huang Shatian's attack finally broke through everything and instantly gushed over to Qin Wentian. In that moment, Huang Shatian realized that Qin Wentian's body seemed to contain boundless energy and had yet to be destroyed. Stabbing out with his finger, his Human Emperor Slaughter Art dominated everything, causing deafening explosions to echo out. Qin Wentian's form expanded several times, and although he was restricted by this sealed space, he still seemed akin to a giant.

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!"

Regardless of the ancient characters revolving around him or his body of truth, or the augmentation effect that the God's Hand had on his defenses, everything was shattered apart. Huang Shatian's tyrannical attack finally smashed into Qin Wentian's body, and it was then that his lips curled up into a cold smile. His eyes were as cold as ever, and despite feeling regret over making this choice, he knew that he ultimately still had to kill Qin Wentian.

But suddenly, Huang Shatian frowned. He inclined his head, only to see that above Qin Wentian's immortal-foundation, eight terrifying Greater Demons had appeared, each radiating an incredibly fearsome blood-colored glow. The light they emitted shone on Qin Wentian's body and in reaction, the entirety of his energy within his immortal-foundation seemed to be sucked away, all of it channeling into the heart of his palm. Coupled with the activation of the God's Hand, the ultimate fusion technique of the Greater Demons was now brimming with energy.

The eight Greater Demons merged together, forming a horrifying fusion vortex that shot out towards Huang Shatian. The moment the vortex was formed, the skies turned dark, as if to herald the arrival of an apocalypse. The vortex even seemed to contain the power to devour everything under the heavens as it blasted towards Huang Shatian.

Demons devouring the world, the apocalypse approaches. Huang Shatian finally sensed the threat of danger. In that instant, his body suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light as he retreated with explosive speed. However, he soon discovered that the suction force from the terrifying vortex had already enveloped this entire space. He found himself unable to flee the incoming attack.

"You are ruthless enough." Huang Shatian coldly stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian had delayed his ultimate attack until the absolute last moment. In addition, Qin Wentian had also allowed his own tyrannical attack to tear apart his defenses and blast into his body, all in order to lure him into a false sense of security that victory was already within his grasp. Only then, did Qin Wentian make his move, unleashing his ultimate strike at the end of Huang Shatian's attack. Undoubtedly, the power of this fusion technique was truly capable of threatening Huang Shatian's life.

Huang Shatian knew that there was no way to evade what was coming, and he shot out streams of spatial light far into the horizon. But in the end, that destructive vortex had even swallow them all. Huang Shatian struggled valiantly to break free from the suction force, but there was no way he could succeed. He could only resist ineffectively as the vortex drew him in bit by bit.

"This…" Everyone who witnessed this felt their hearts trembling in shock. Huang Shatian was being completely devoured by the power of Qin Wentian's strongest attack. That vortex produced boundless destructive might, akin to a black hole that had its own samsara, able to annihilate all life on earth.

The instant Qin Wentian unleashed his ultimate strike, he vomited out mouthfuls of fresh blood. The blood and qi within his body churned wildly, like the crashing of tidal waves. His body then fell to the ground, as though he had completely depleted his body's energy reserves. Qing`er and the others hurriedly stepped out. She didn't bother glancing at Huang Shatian. In her eyes, the only thing that mattered was Qin Wentian's safety.

Several figures flashed by and surrounded Qin Wentian. At this instant, Qin Wentian was half-kneeling on the ground as he coughed out yet a few more mouthfuls of blood. His body was completely devoid of strength, and he finally laid down limply. Qing`er embraced him, the fresh blood he coughed out dying her beautiful robes red. Many terrifying wounds could be seen on his body as his aura fluctuated wildly.

"Wentian..." Qingcheng`s eyes were red with emotion. She half-knelt on the ground, hugging his body together with Qing`er. Staring at his current condition, they felt as if there were knives piercing their hearts.

Qing`er embraced Qin Wentian more tightly, her cheeks streaming with tears. The sheer terror of Huang Shatian's attack… she understood why Qin Wentian had to endure until the last moment before he could he finally unleash his destructive strike.

Because Qin Wentian understood that only he alone would be able to stop Huang Shatian. If he failed to do so, Huang Shatian would surely kill her!

Hence, this was why Qin Wentian had disregarded everything, ignored the price he had to pay, suffered extremely grievous injuries—in order to fight for an opportunity, he had saved his ultimate strike for last. He'd waited until his layers of defenses had all shattered and Huang Shatian's attack had blasted into him, only then did he make his move. To fight for a sliver of a chance, he didn't mind taking on such heavy injuries. This, was Qin Wentian.

When he was ruthless to himself, he truly didn't mind paying any price.

At this moment, everyone inclined their heads and stared up at the air. Although Qin Wentian was heavily injured, he too, stared up towards the sky.

Huang Shatian's ending wasn't fixed yet, he couldn't be at ease in his heart. This was why he struggled to stay awake, he wanted to see the conclusion with his own eyes.

Qin Wentian knew very well how much power had been contained in his strike. It was more than enough to destroy peak-level immortals. However, he also knew who his opponent was; he was well aware of Huang Shatian's true strength. Even with that ultimate strike, he still doubted whether it had been enough power to fatally injure Huang Shatian.

And as expected, amidst that supremely powerful vortex, a thunderous rumbling sound rang out, shaking the heavens and earth. That terrifying energy actually hadn't dispersed completely, and it hadn't been able to completely devour Huang Shatian.

All of a sudden, a supreme golden glow radiated from the gap within the vortex. After that, cracks actually appeared within the space, right as everything was destroyed.

Huang Shatian's figure appeared in the air. At this instant, the gazes of everyone froze with shock. Despite the overwhelming power of that ultimate strike, was it still not enough to kill Huang Shatian?

Qin Wentian stared at that figure, his eyes full of disbelief. Was that level of power insufficient as well?

If that was the case, what would happen to Qing`er?

"Cough, cough!"

At this very moment, the sound of a low cough broke the silence of the academy. The light radiating from Huang Shatian continued to dissipate as his emperor armor crumbled bit by bit, turning into dust. An instant later, Huang Shatian actually spat out a mouthful of blood before his body proceeded to fall from the sky.

"BOOM!" His body landed on the ground. This sudden scene caused all those from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire to be temporarily paralyzed from shock. Only after some time did Huang Wudi step out, rushing over to Huang Shatian.

"Huang Shatian has also fallen?" Huge waves of shock rocked the hearts of the spectators. That sixth-level immortal, Qin Wentian, had used everything he possessed and had actually managed to knock down the almighty Huang Shatian?!

Upon seeing this scene, a smile appeared in Qin Wentian's eyes. Despite his injuries, everything had been worth it. Although he failed to kill Huang Shatian, at the very least he had managed to bring him down, causing Huang Shatian to lose his combat prowess. With such a battle, no one could be declared as the absolute victor.

"Qing`er, Qingcheng." Qin Wentian stared at the two women he loved. His eyes flashed with a radiant smile before he closed them, fainting into unconsciousness.

This battle eventually ended up with both sides suffering from grievous losses. This calamitous and glorious battle shook the entire academy. Qin Wentian's strength, his unwillingness to surrender, caused every genius in the academy to renew their respective opinions of him. He was able to unleash a strength at the absolute limits, a genius who could stand equally against Huang Shatian.

In the air, an imposing and terrifying might descended once more as an incomparably solemn-looking face appeared in the air. That face then coldly reproached, "Are you all satisfied now? Even the rules of the academy weren't enough to make you stop and both sides still went all out to slaughter the other. The students of this generation are truly 'excellent' indeed."

"Since you all chose to disregard the rules of the academy, I will give everyone here three more years of time. There will be one last dao lecture after the three years are up and from then on, you must all leave the sacred academy." That imposing voice rang out once more, causing everyone to start in shock.

Was the academy enraged?

Three years later, there will be one last dao lecture by the academy. After that, everyone would be forced to leave the academy?

"This…" Many people were filled with reluctance, especially for those who didn't have a high cultivation base. They initially wanted to stay here and cultivate for a few more years.

However, no one could truly understand the will of the academy, and nobody knew what the divine figures in the academy were thinking about. They were the ones who set the rules of the academy and could basically do anything they wanted.

Regardless of the methods they entered or the time they cultivated, everything was decided by the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.

Now, the academy decided to give them three more years as well as one last dao lecture.

Huang Wudi's cold eyes glanced over to Qin Wentian and his group. After that, he took Huang Shatian and departed the area. Qing`er also brought Qin Wentian away. Both parties no longer had the will to continue the combat. Since things had reached such an extent, the sacred academy was truly enraged. If they continued to fight, who knew what the sacred academy would do to them?
