Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian’s aura abruptly became extremely overwhelming, a resplendent white-colored blazing flame surrounded him, as runic inscriptions circulated around it. What was even more terrifying was that a layer of sword qi appeared on his body and the entirety of his energy was burning, constituting a supreme sword might.

"Huh?" Ji Lanfeng’s countenance changed, filled with puzzlement as he stared at Qin Wentian. Right now, Qin Wentian’s aura was still climbing upwards, it felt even more overwhelming than before. This was especially so for the supreme sword might, it grew more and more intense by the second.

"What’s going on?" The expressions of the experts from the God Extermination Palace changed as they stared at Qin Wentian, filled with bewilderment.

"Arf, Arf!" Little Rascal, who was on Qin Wentian’s shoulder, started barking as it bared its fangs and brandished its claws. It then spoke in its baby-like voice, "These bunch of bastards, kill them all!"

Purgatory, who was in the air, let out a few terrifying shrieks as it circled above Qin Wentian’s head. After that, it transformed into a beam of blood-colored light as it directly shot into the body of Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian understood the intentions of Purgatory and his heart was moved by its emotions for him. Purgatory had gained spiritual intelligence and was nurtured by his bloodline. It only had nothing but endless gratitude for him and now that it knew Qin Wentian was burning away his energy, it wanted to transfer all the strength it had as fuel for Qin Wentian.

"How can I burn away your strength." Qin Wentitan silently mused. After which, a blood-colored beam shot out as Purgatory was expelled from his bloodline. Qin Wentian refused to sacrifice it. Right now, he was different from the past. Back then when he used the Immortal Vanishing Swordplay, he might even lose his life in the process because he was just too weak. But now, he is already a seventh-level ascendant and the power of his bloodline was many times more powerful compared to before. He had enough energy to burn for this strike.

"You are burning the entirety of energy in your body to produce an overwhelming attack." Ji Lanfeng understood what he was seeing. He then frowned, this brewing strength was extremely terrifying. Qin Wentian was using a sacrificial method to boost his attack strength, but the weakness of this was apparent as well. No matter what, he had to pay the price first by weakening himself severely before he could injure others. In fact, Qin Wentian might even be crippled after that strike. Hence, people would usually never use such techniques until the moment of absolute despair.

Was this fellow risking his life just to win?

"Swish, swish, swish~" The wind was howling as boundless sword qi congregated onto Qin Wentian’s body. Qin Wentian’s sword finger pointed out as a formless sharp sword coalesced from the sword qi, solidifying by virtue of the supreme sword might. The terrifying laceration energy that radiated from it felt like it could even tear space apart. This entire area was being enveloped by it and all the members from the God Extermination Palace could clearly sense how extreme the power of destructiveness was.

Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan were trembling in their hearts as well when they stared at Qin Wentian. Even they had no idea that Qin Wentian knew of such a tyrannical innate technique.

Qin Wentian’s body returned to his normal size, as flowing runic light formed an armor around him. A pair of golden wings formed behind his back as he cooly stared at Ji Lanshan.

"The ultimate strike at the very peak below immortality." Ji Lanfeng spoke as he stared at Qin Wentian. "Even if you burn all of your energy and essence to strengthen your attack infinitely, you still wouldn’t be able to break the barrier that leads to immortality. All below immortality are merely mortals. While right now, I, who am at the ninth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, has also already reached the peak of mortality. Although your attack might have reached the very peak, it is impossible for it to threaten my life. At the same time, you are merely exhausting your energy at a tremendous rate and won’t be able to sustain it for too long. What a futile struggle."

The immortal-foundation realm was a barrier that separates the immortals from the mortals. For mortals, even if they borrowed the power from secret arts or innate techniques, it would be impossible for their strikes to reach the immortal-ranked level. At most, they can only reach the ultimate peak beneath immortality.

The Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay is an immortal art, only immortal-foundation experts would be able to unleash the limits of its power. However, since Qin Wentian has not reached the immortal-foundation realm, he won’t be able to use this attack to its fullest potential.

Ji Lanfeng wasn’t wrong. As a ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, he naturally belonged to geniuses who stood at the peak in the perspectives of the immortal realms. He himself already stood at the peak of mortality and this peak was known as none other than the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

Right now at this moment, Ji Lanfeng’s aura also gushed forth frenziedly. His thousand talisman constellation reassembled and transformed into a thousand talisman shield which circulated around him, as though in preparation for Qin Wentian’s attack. At the same time, the thousand talisman sword from before returned to his hand. He stared at Qin Wentian as he continued, "Just give it up."

"If you want to me to give up, it’s impossible unless I’m unconscious. I cannot fully control the power of this strike. You said that one of the rules is that no one in the City of Ancient Emperors must use an immortal-ranked weapons. I can live with that. However, like I said, I can’t fully control the power of this strike. If you want to force me to unleash it, the question would then change to: are you absolutely sure that you can block it?"

Qin Wentian simply spoke, the energy in his body was still burning and a stifling sword might could clearly be sensed by everyone even the spectators down below. They were also enveloped by this supreme sword might and the fluctuations indicated that this might was truly at the ultimate peak below immortality.

Although Ji Lanfeng was only a step away from immortality, it was a fact that he was still a distance away from the true ultimate peak below immortality. If not, how could his ranking be #321? There are still 320 people ahead of him and only those top few rankers on the Immortal Ascension Rankings could be considered as having reached the true ultimate peak below immortality.

Sharp piercing sounds echoed endlessly, that was his sword intent grinding endlessly at the light radiating from the thousand talisman constellation. This ear-piercing sound caused Ji Lanfeng to turned silent. Qin Wentian’s finger simply remained stretched out at his original position. As soon as his finger descends, that supreme sword might would instantly flood over everything, causing absolute destruction.

"I can just waste time with you, but how long you sustain burning your energy for?" Ji Lanfeng stated coldly.

"Both of you get on Little Rascal’s back. I can communicate telepathically with him, he will know what I’m thinking." Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan. The two of them nodded and mounted on Little Rascal’s back.

"Bzz!" Qin Wentian moved forward step-by-step, in the direction of Ji Lanfeng. This scene caused Ji Lanfeng to frown. Upon seeing Qin Wentian getting closer and closer to him, he actually chose to take a step back. An instant later, he saw an icy smile appearing on the face of Qin Wentian.

A raging wind gusted by, as the image of a golden roc appeared from Qin Wentian’s body, while he turned and shot towards an expert from the God Extermination Palace.

"CAREFUL!" Ji Lanfeng roared, but Qin Wentian’s speed was simply too fast. He instantly appeared before his target as his finger stabbed out. Just a moment later, that person only felt his entire body being enveloped by an unparalleled sword intent and as long as Qin Wentian pressed his finger downwards, that person would be exterminated.

Little Rascal could indeed communicate telepathically with Qin Wentian. At that moment when Qin Wentian moved earlier, it had already acted and also travelled in the direction of Qin Wentian, preventing the other members from the God Extermination Palace from acting.

"This is a robbery, hand over all your interspatial rings." Little Rascal’s baby voice rang out, sounding extremely adorable. Its snowy white body stopped before Qin Wentian’s target as it stretched out its paw. This scene was extremely comical but that expert being targeted had no mood to laugh at all. His life was now being controlled by Qin Wentian.

Behind him, numerous powerful auras approached. Although Qin Wentian didn’t turn his head, he stated, "I don’t wish to unleash this strike. Don’t touch my bottom line or I also won’t know what would be the consequences."

As the sound of his voice faded, Ji Lanfeng and the experts of the God Extermination Palace had no choice but to halt. That expert who was being threatened turned ashen as he handed over his interspatial rings, placing them onto Little Rascal’s paw.

"Why are you so stupid?" Little Rascal stared at that expert as he lazily scolded. Its other paw slammed out, blasting onto the expert, causing an explosive sound as that expert was flung through the air from the impact. It was unknown how many bones he broke from the impact.

"INSOLENCE!" Ji Lanfeng coldly roared. Little Rascal turned its gaze over as it continued, "Who asked you guys to bully this baobao."

"That little demonic beast is pretty interesting." The spectators below laughed.

Qin Wentian stared at the members of the God Extermination Palace, only to see that the auras from them were still tyrannically gushing out as though they were preparing to defend against more of his sneak attacks.

"Even at this point of time you are still trying to antagonize us? I wonder if you are truly idiotic." Ji Lanfeng stared at Qin Wentian, yet Qin Wentian seemed as though he didn’t hear anything. Qin Wentian then mounted Little Rascal as it zoomed through the air with frightening speed. The supreme sword might was still radiating from Qin Wentian, and had completely enveloped the space around here.

"Can you even escape?" Ji Lanfeng sneered. After which, he and his cronies stepped out, pursuing Little Rascal. He wanted to see how long Qin Wentian could still endure the burning of his energy.

A group of experts soared rapidly through the skies of the City of Ancient Emperors, Qin Wentian’s energy was unceasingly being burned and the pursuers were in such a frenzy that their constellations were still in the air and were prepared to fight at any moment.

"A ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings actually utilized the full power of his sect to chase after three newbies? Do all of you know shame?" Qin Wentian mocked. His voice was booming, echoing throughout the city below. A moment later, countless people inclined their heads.

"Ji Lanfeng, Ji Lanfeng of the Immortal Ascension Rankings is actually chasing a few newbies around. In addition, it seems like he didn’t dare to act." Many experts in the City of Ancient Emperors soared into the air to spectate as expressions of interest appeared on their faces.

Right now, Ji Lanfeng’s expression grew increasingly ugly. The people in their surroundings increased and he felt hot shame burning in his heart.

"If you continue to flee, when you have fully exhausted your strength, don’t blame me for being ruthless." Ji Lanshan roared in rage, his voice containing a formidable threat.

Qin Wentian was positioned on Little Rascal’s back in such a way that he could directly stare at their pursuers. His countenance was cold as sharpness flashed through his eyes. He didn’t expect that so soon after arriving here, he would encounter these persistent bastards of the God Extermination Palace.

"Today, I’m going to destroy the prestige and reputation of your God Extermination Palace." Qin Wentian coldly spoke. "Little Rascal, get down there."

Little Rascal descended, landing on a vast and desolate area. This scene caused the spectators to ponder with interest, could it be that this young man who was burning his own energy still had other more powerful hidden trump cards which he had yet to reveal?
