Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1391: Assassination from the Void

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Other than the battlefield Qin Wentian was in, a large-scale battle also occurred in the other three battlefields.

The 36 immortal kings of the Battle Saint Tribe formed a battle formation that contained boundless might. They took charge of a single direction, defending against several hundred immortal kings but was soon surrounded and suffered terrifying attacks. But even so, the amount of strength generated by their formation was far beyond their opponents.

Although the four sacred creatures formations were powerful, not everyone was suitable to be in them. They could only select those suitable immortal kings to join the formations. It was different for the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe. The battle formation they were using was one tailor-made for their tribe. When the 36 of them joined together in this formation, they could wield the might generated as they desired.

In addition, the cultivation bases of the Battle Saint Tribe’s immortal kings were extremely high. 16 among them were peak-stage, just how terrifying was this? The others were also mid-stage at the very least. When they released their battle saint might together, an intense wave of battle might would sweep forth with invincibility.

For every attack launched, if there are people who dares to face it head-on, those who did so would die for sure. There are already over ten immortal kings dead by the hands of the Battle Saint Tribe. Their enemies didn’t dare to clash directly with them, they could only use methods to delay and control them while borrowing the strength of their superior numbers to encircle the Battle Saint Tribe. Dazzling immortal weapons appeared and sent out numerous attacks towards the Battle Saint Tribe’s formation. However, none of them dared to get too close and chose only to attack from a distance.

In the air, the gigantic divine ape had a fearsome glint in its eyes. With a roar of anger, the entire space shook and the initial-stage immortal kings all instantly coughed out blood as their bodies trembled involuntarily. They felt that they narrowly died from just a roar by the divine ape.

“Break their formation, we can’t let them continue attacking us in this manner,” The paragon in the air coldly commanded. Although the 36 immortal kings of the Battle Saint Tribe were standing in different locations, they were still within range of the battle formation they established. When they aimed their attacks at certain experts within, the power of the formation would instantly surge over and protect them. If they can’t break apart the formation, they could only wait and be hunted down by people of the Battle Saint Tribe.

The expressions of all these immortal kings were extremely unsightly. All of them were considered powerful experts in the immortal realms and naturally understood that they have to break apart the connection between the experts before they could have a chance to break apart the formation. However, they didn’t have any chance at all. Depending on one’s individual strength was akin to an ant trying to shake a tree and their battle formation didn’t dare to clash head-on with the Battle Saint Tribe directly.

Right now, the experts within the Battle Saint Tribe folded hand seals as a divine glow radiated from their bodies. Their bones shimmered with battle saint light, causing waves of light to descend from the sky, forming a unique resonance with them. The battle ape drummed on its chest before placing its palms together and mirrored the hand seals made by the experts within the formation. An instant later, the unique light resonating with the experts, also covered the divine battle ape as a boundless battle might gushed forth from it.

“Careful, break them apart!” Paragon Sky Roc who was in the air suddenly roared. Although he wasn’t able to participate in combat, he could still issue commands and remind his troops. This wouldn’t be considered as breaking the rules.

Paragon Sky Roc could already sense the resonating energy within heaven and earth, the amount of power concentrated by their opponent’s battle formation was in overwhelming amounts and this caused him to feel a sense of unease.

At this moment, the divine ape roared at the skies, causing the space around it to rumble as an ancient runic character “战” representing the word for battle, appeared in the air. It expanded rapidly and 36 strands of immortal king energy could be felt within it.

Next, the 36 immortal kings slammed out with their palms, as the ancient rune for the word ‘battle,’ gleamed and produced a torrent of battle might, seeking to destroy all existences. All the countenances of the immortal kings changed. They hurriedly all launched their strongest attacks towards the gigantic rune but when their attacks landed on it, their attacks were all shattered by brute force, transforming into the void.

“BOOM!” The ancient rune appeared before an expert. When that expert directly came into contact with the resonance energy, he instantly disintegrated and didn’t even have the time to scream.

“Retreat!” Paragon Sky Roc roared again. All the immortal kings seemed to have sensed something and quickly fled away, while unleashing their most powerful attacks to defend.

The sounds of swishing echoed out as the ancient runic word caused enemy immortal kings to be turned into dust unceasingly. Even their battle formation disintegrated when the battle rune flew near. Several weaker immortal kings instantly died from that and the remaining half suffered injuries of different extents. They had to borrow the power of their divine treasures and weapons to stay alive.

For people within the battle formation, they were already in such miserable states. For those who were not inside, their fates were needless to say. Finally, the power of the battle rune diminished and faded away but now, the hundreds of immortal kings of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect was only left with several tens of them.

Naturally, the battle formation of the Battle Saint Tribe had also collapsed and the divine ape disappeared. Their auras fluctuated wildly. Clearly, that last attack exhausted the majority of their strength. Although the 36 immortal kings were still in their original positions, some of them were sitting cross-legged and some even had their eyes closed.

However, the immortal kings of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect that still survived felt terror in their hearts. Their faces were pale and extremely unsightly to behold. They didn’t dare to take the risk to launch another attack.

“Boom!” The chess piece in the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s hand crumbled from the pressure he was applying. His expression turned ashen as he stared at the immortal kings of the Battle Saint Tribe.

“Same kind of bloodline and their bones seemed to contained battle might. They are definitely descendants of an extremely powerful ancient clan.” The heart of the Easter Sage Immortal Emperor trembled. Why was such a powerful ancient clan unheard of in the immortal realms? And why did these people follow Qin Wentian?

Although he also admitted that Qin Wentian’s talent was extremely high, along with his quick cultivation speed and ferocious combat prowess. Qin Wentian ultimately, still had a very low cultivation base, merely at the immortal-foundation realm. How could he convince these immortal kings to follow him? Things seemed somewhat illogical.

“Eastern Sage, seems like the superiority in terms of numbers counts of nothing. Your guys are in such a miserable state now.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed. In the eastern battlefield, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect only sent the 36 immortal kings of the Battle Saint Tribe there. Even the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord himself didn’t expect such a situation. Qin Wentian’s people could actually handle a battlefield alone. This greatly alleviated a great deal of the pressure on him.

“That attack exhausted the vast majority of their strength. Victory isn’t clear yet, and there are also other battlefields.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor coldly spoke. The battlefield in the northern direction was also extremely intense. Experts of both sides clashed madly against each other. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect still attacked via battle formations with other immortal kings around to provide reinforcement and support. This battlefield was similar to the one where Qin Wentian was in. Standing far behind the immortal kings, there was also an extremely powerful character with a unique domain. His law domain affected emotions, able to boost the morale of his side while giving off crushing despair to experts of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.

“Spiritual-type illusion attacks. When one cultivates illusionary techniques to a certain realm, they will be able to form a phantasm-type domain. Eastern Sage, is someone like this really capable of being nurtured from your immortal sect?” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord asked.

“As long as I can gain victory in the war, what does it matter if it was my sect who nurtured him or not?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor laughed coldly.

“Naturally there’s a connection. If that immortal king was nurtured by your immortal sect, you will definitely feel heartache when he dies. But if they are not, the other major powers would be the one feeling their heart aching instead.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed.

“What do you mean by this?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor coldly spoke. But at this moment, he suddenly furrowed his brows as he glanced downwards. In the next instant, his immortal sense extended outwards. He sensed a ripple from the void but his immortal sense actually couldn’t spot anyone, only the existence of that ripple. It felt like someone was hiding in the void, in a separate dimension from everyone else.

The countenance of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor changed, he immediately transmitted his voice out, “Everyone, be careful!”

That expert with the unique domain frowned. His senses were extremely sharp and he could already feel that there was an unknown energy approaching with great speed. His eyes suddenly turned over to a certain direction as a powerful spiritual might gushed forth. However, he didn’t find anything. He could not lock into that source of mysterious energy surging over.

“Chi!” A sword pierced forth as cold light illuminated the sky. It happened instantly, that expert didn’t even have time to blink. A powerful immortal king stepped out from the void and delivered a killing blow.

That expert with the unique domain slammed out, reacting quickly while unleashing his illusionary attacks. However, at the next instant, the cold light of the sword suddenly vanished without a trace but the sense of crisis grew even stronger. That expert hurriedly retreated and at this moment, spatial fluctuations could be felt from behind him. Terror appeared on his face, he wanted to turn about but another beam of sword light appeared from the void, accurate and ruthless to the extreme.

“Puchi…” A sword blow sealed his throat. That expert with the unique domain didn’t even have time to do anything. The assassin simply retracted his sword and as his silhouette flashed, he vanished once again.

The countenance of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was incredibly ugly to behold. He could be considered to have thoroughly prepared for this war and even invited many extraordinary characters to aid him. Not only for the battle formations, there were augmentation domains and domains which could weaken their opponents as well. However, the preparations made by the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect seemed even more thorough than him. What made the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor feel cold was that it seemed that each of their plans were known to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and their strategy was designed perfectly to counter them.

“Spies?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor thought about the matter of spies again. There isn’t simply a single spy in his immortal sect. Many years ago, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord had already sent people to infiltrate his Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and right now, after so long, some of those spies might already even be in key positions.
