Ancient Godly Monarch

Qin Wentian’s movements were extremely fast, circling around Zi Daolong. Occasionally, a startling sword intent would burst forth along with powerful soul energy which drilled into Zi Daolong’s mind. Zi Daolong was too busy fending off this that he didn’t have the time for anything else. Even the Ultimate Violet Sacred Immortal Art and Thousand Autumns Emperor Art were much less effective now since he wasn’t able to focus.

However, his defense was still extremely strong. His body gleamed violet as the violet light manifested a purple giant behind him, blasting out palm attacks. The power contained within was powerful enough to shatter anything. He himself was still attacking with a spear, he retracted his previous arrogance and started to take Qin Wentian seriously, becoming much more cautious.

“Zi Daolong is trapped, he has already lost the conviction earlier that he would be the sure victor.”

“He started to be more conservative in terms of the combat, while the attacks of this Saber-Sword Immortal King grows stronger and stronger. His sword art is marvelous and without flaw, giving birth to terrifying sword intent. Each of his sword strikes have the power equivalent to a sword attack powered by a formation.”

“RUMBLE!” In a direction, one of Zi Daoyang’s protectors rushed out. This man was a late-phase peak-stage immortal king. When he saw Zi Daolong losing an arm, he instantly wanted to aid him. Although victory and defeat were still uncertain, if Zi Daolong really lost and died here, they would have no way to answer to the Violet Emperor.

“Block him.” Bai Qing coldly commanded. Numerous powerful devil cultivators unleashed their law domains, causing the sky to streak with beams of blood-colored light as the power of judgement bore down on that expert, trapping him and Zi Daolong’s other protectors within.

Earlier, Bai Qing had already said that she would kill Zi Daolong. Now, since there was someone so powerful dealing with Zi Daolong, she naturally wouldn’t allow any others to disrupt this.

“Do you all really want to establish a death grudge with the Violet Emperor?” A roar of anger thundered out as the protectors of Zi Daolong tried their best to struggle free.

“The young master of your Violet Mountain is fighting a fair duel with someone. If he dies, it only means that he is useless. Before this, wasn’t he extremely arrogant? Now that victory is not certain, you guys are bringing up his background to scare us off?” Bujie calmly spoke. “In any case, why would those of us from the Myriad Devil Islands fear the Violet Mountain? Ridiculous!”

The battle was still as intense as ever and the longer Zi Daolong fought, the more the trembling of his soul. His confidence was being wiped away bit by bit and what’s more terrifying was that he discovered Qin Wentian’s attacks actually grew stronger. It felt like Qin Wentian had countless trump cards and he was still holding back some in reserve.

At this instant, an intense coldness flickered in Qin Wentian’s eyes. His silhouette flashed as a tiny pagoda appeared in his left hand.

“Domain.” A cold voice thundered out, the law domain instantly engulfed the surrounding space, blocking the vision of others.

“What is he planning to do? Is he going to use his trump cards to kill Zi Daolong?” The spectators all stared in shock.

“Earlier, he hadn’t released his law domain at all. Is he still holding some strength back in reserve? He doesn’t want anyone to see his trump cards as he kills Zi Daolong?”

Zi Daolong roared, releasing his astral soul. The giant behind him wielded twin spears, erupting forth with a flurry of attacks, causing the entire space to shake. Qin Wentian moved closer. He sealed this space because he wanted to mask his identity. After all, if he unleashed some particular techniques, the spectators might manage to spot some clues and learn who he is.

Although Zi Daolong was someone he had to kill, the moment he did so, the Violet Emperor would definitely be infuriated. Using the identity of the Saber-Sword Immortal King to kill Zi Daolong would save him some trouble.

The tiny pagoda glowed even brighter. Qin Wentian took a large step forward as an overwhelming pressure gushed forth, suppressing everything. At the same time, the holy will within the pagoda surged out, causing numerous pagodas to materialize in the airspace above Zi Daolong, suppressing the violet giant behind him.

“Suppress!” Qin Wentian roared. After that, he cleaved out with his saber, wanting to cleave Zi Daolong’s soul. Zi Daolong struggled with madness in his eyes but his movements were still bound. Given how high his cultivation was, he was actually restricted to such an extent.

Qin Wentian’s expression was cold. He then pierced out with his sword, aiming to penetrate Zi Daolong’s head.

“Scram!” Zi Daolong took out a powerful ancient mirror and in an instant, all the energy in this space was being devoured away. Qin Wentian only felt the sword in his hand being sucked into the mirror. With a howl of anger, Zi Daolong blasted out a palm strike which smashed into Qin Wentian, causing him to stagger back as he groaned in misery, coughing out fresh blood.

The light from the ancient mirror shot up into the sky, breaking apart everything.

“Aura of an emperor-ranked weapon? Zi Daolong, the peak-stage immortal king is borrowing the might of an emperor weapon?” The crowd spoke in shock. Was Zi Daolong forced to such an extent?

However, this place was the City of Ancient Emperors. Immortal kings have their own path, and immortal emperors have their own path.

From the air, a formless law energy pressure bore down on Zi Daolong, like the wrath of the heavens, locking down on him. This terrifying energy directly negated the might from the emperor weapon, dimming its radiance.

A cracking sound rang out, cracks began to appear on the surface of the mirror as the emperor-ranked weapon started to shatter.

This, was the rule in the City of Ancient Emperors. Emperor-ranked weapons can only be used against immortal emperors. They are not to be used against immortal kings.

“SCRAM!” Zi Daolong roared at the skies. Although Qin Wentian was injured, he wasted no time in unleashing another dazzling sword attack. This beam of sword light instantly shot into Zi Daolong’s eyes, dragging him into a dreamscape.

“KILL!” Qin Wentian’s killing intent towered up into the sky. This sword strike was capable of reaping lives.

Zi Daolong roared loudly, his protectors wanted to rush forward but they were all trapped, unable to do anything. As the sword strike landed, fresh blood splashed through the air. The destructive might of the sword attack slashed through Zi Daolong’s chest but at this moment, a brilliant light erupted out as the projection of a powerful being manifested.

This was none other than the silhouette of the Violet Emperor. His anger soared up into the sky, violet qi circulated wildly around him as he stared at the Saber-Sword Immortal King.

“Protective immortal sense of an emperor. You think you can interfere in this battle?” Qin Wentian stared at him and coldly laughed. So what if the Violet Emperor appeared? He was none other than a projection formed by immortal sense. At the immortal king level, especially the later-stages, protective immortal sense was already useless, they didn’t have enough power.

Let alone the fact that this place was the City of Ancient Emperors. Even peak-stage immortal emperors had to obey the rules here.

As the law energy from the City of Ancient Emperors cascaded down on him, the violet light around the Violet Emperor’s projection formed a light shield, as he spoke. “Spare him.”

The Violet Emperor understood that his immortal sense wasn’t able to do anything to Qin Wentian and hence, his tone wasn’t too domineering. However, Qin Wentian merely coldly smiled and looked at him, “Scram.”

As the sound of his voice faded, countless people were stunned. Crazy…this fellow was simply too crazy. He even dared to tell the Violet Emperor to scram? This was insulting an emperor, a peak-stage immortal emperor!

The expression of the Violet Emperor grew incomparably ugly. The law energy from the city kept blasting into the protective light shield, and seemed about to break through and could strike at his body anytime. His projection was about to fade away. But even so, the Violet Emperor fixed his eyes on Qin Wentian, glaring at him, wanting Qin Wentian to fear him. However, he had no idea that this Saber-Sword Immortal King long had a death grudge with him. How would he spare Zi Daolong?

“If you kill me, you will become the enemy of our entire Violet Mountain. No matter where you head to in the immortal realms, there would be no path of survival for you. Even your friends and family would be hunted down by us.” Zi Daolong threatened.

“Hahaha! Zi Daolong, you are truly a pathetic figure. As a peak-stage immortal king, you actually have the face to utter such words. I really feel sad for you.” Qin Wentian replied. His eyes shot out another soul-attack. His sword slashed out a sword qi river that gushed towards Zi Daolong, wanting to destroy everything.

Zi Daolong roared but the suppressive pressure was too great. He was helpless to resist.

He, Zi Daolong, the son of the Violet Emperor. When he came to the City of Ancient Emperors, how high were his aspirations? He wanted to subdue all geniuses under his feet, but who would have thought that he was about to be killed by a nameless immortal king here?

The sword qi gushed over, tearing apart his other arm. There was a heavy sense of reluctance flickering in Zi Daolong’s eyes.

“Why are you doing this? Why are you willing to spare no expense to kill me?” Zi Daolong roared with unwillingness.

“Because, I am Qin Wentian.” A voice thundered out in Zi Daolong’s mind. Zi Daolong’s eyes widened, the sword attack slashed down a split second after that, finishing him off.

Zi Daolong’s eyes were wide open, he finally understood why this Saber-Sword Immortal King wanted to kill him. Before he died, he was still filled with shock by the fact that Qin Wentian was already strong enough to kill him.

Back then, this ant-like character was akin to a worm on the ground. He could stomp Qin Wentian to death at any moment. Now, it was already too late for regrets.

At the moment after Zi Daolong died, this entire space fell silent. The immortal kings from afar all stared at this scene with shock, speechless in their hearts. Zi Daolong’s head was slashed off by Qin Wentian as he died.

The eyes of Zi Daolong were wide-opened, filled with reluctance. He, was a lofty genius, a peak-stage immortal king possessing unrivalled combat prowess. He was the son of the Violet Emperor and even had emperor-ranked weapons. But even so, he died here today.

Right at this moment, at a place extremely far away from the City of Ancient Emperors, there was a violet mountain located in the eastern regions.

On the violet mountain, an overwhelmingly oppressive aura gushed forth, engulfing everything, causing the sky to change color, turning into violet.

The experts on the violet mountain all had expressions of shock on their faces, they all stared at the Central Sky Palace as looks of bewilderment appeared on their faces.

The Violet Emperor was enraged? What was going on? Did something just happen?

With a loud boom, the Violet Emperor soared up into the air, staring down at everything in the world. He was a peak-stage immortal emperor, how many in the immortal realms could stand equal to him? However, two of his sons died one after another, Zi Daoyang and Zi Daolong.

He inclined his head as a pair of violet pupils appeared in the air, peering through the distance, causing the hearts and minds of disciples on the violet mountain to tremble. Everyone halted their cultivation, not daring to say anything.

Something major must be going on in order to make the Violet Emperor this angry. It has been a long time since they saw the Violet Emperor so infuriated.

“Immortal kings of the Violet Mountain all move out now. We will be going to the City of Ancient Emperors to hunt down this man.” The Violet Emperor coldly commanded. In the air, violet light flashed, as the features of the Saber-Sword Immortal King appeared.

The anger of the Violet Emperor seemed to be caused by this person. Now, the Violet Emperor wanted to mobilize all the immortal kings of the violet mountain to hunt down this man? What exactly has this person done?

Wasn’t Zi Daolong, the son of the Violet Emperor, currently in the City of Ancient Emperors? Could it be… When they thought of a certain possibility, all of their bodies trembled!
