Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian and Qing`er dashed into the depths of the caverns, and as expected, the eight immortal emperors didn’t pursue them. They proceeded onwards together, sensing the ancient and archaic aura permeating the atmosphere.
Finally, Qin Wentian and Qing`er halted when they saw the ancient ruins before them. Their gazes were solidly fixed on the scene ahead.
Before them was a terrifying, sky-high statue. The statue resembled an incomparably gigantic demonic beast that exuded an unparalleled tyrannical aura. It had a total of nine heads and nine pairs of eyes. Each pair contained a different type of terrifying will, and each type of will possessed an intensity that could shake the heavens, unrivaled in this world.
When one stared at the nine aligned heads, they could clearly feel the imposing tyranny that spoke of absolute dominance. In life, it was unknown exactly how terrifying this demonic beast had been.
The nine heads extended out from one body. In addition, there seemed to be traces of a resemblance between this demonic beast and Little Rascal.
"Is this the Brahma Heavenly Emperor? The legend whose name shook the immortal realms, lasting through the rivers of time. Is his true body that of a demonic beast? The Brahma Heavenly Demon Emperor!" Qin Wentian mused in his heart. Below each of the nine heads, there was an intricate diagram that just so nicely had a total of nine positions.
Right now, there were two silhouettes seated respectively on two of the diagrams.
A human, and a demon.
That demon was none other than Little Rascal!
As for that human, it was a young man that radiated an extremely chilling aura. His brows were as sharp as swords, and although his eyes were closed, he still gave off a sense of sharpness. Instinct told Qin Wentian that this young man was definitely an extremely dangerous character.
"The #2-ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, Mo Xie," Qin Wentian mumbled softly, instantly realizing who this man was. It was none other than the ruthless character mentioned by the other geniuses. The #2-ranker really had arrived long before now. Not only that, he depended on his own strength to get this far. His experiences must surely have been much more difficult than what Qin Wentian could imagine.
"What’s going on?" Qin Wentian stared at the other diagrams. Among the nine diagrams, there were some that were already completely dim—the runic lines had already faded away. They were even dimmer than the diagram Mo Xie was sitting on.
"Mo Xie has been here for a long time and evidently, he must have comprehended the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor earlier than Little Rascal. In that case, the dimness of the radiance from the diagrams indicates the degree of comprehension that chosen one has. For those diagrams that were already completely dim, this must mean that there must be other experts who have already finished comprehending them. In that case, this means there were others before Mo Xie who entered here as well? Or were all those completely dimmed diagrams comprehended by Mo Xie alone?" Many questions welled up in Qin Wentian’s heart.
"There are two more open positions, go on and take one of them." Qing`er’s turned to look at Qin Wentian. Her voice was melodious, and traces of anticipation could be seen in her eyes. This had a very high possibility of being the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. Qing`er clearly hoped that Qin Wentian would be able to inherit it as well.
Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered. He glanced at Little Rascal, but at that very moment, a bright light flashed. Qin Wentian saw Little Rascal struggling to open its eyes. It stared at Qin Wentian and spoke, "Don’t do it…"
"Little Rascal!" Qin Wentian called out, bewilderment filling his face.
"This inheritance is separated into nine portions, and every individual can only comprehend a single portion. The immortal realms belong to the immortal emperors, and they can rule unchallenged under the heavens. If one desires to comprehend the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s entire power, he first has to devour the strength of the other eight inheritors, gathering all nine portions of the inheritance into a single body before he can succeed," Little Rascal explained. Its voice was still somewhat infantile, but one could feel the absolute tyranny in the words it spoke. These words must be something left behind by the Brahma Heavenly Emperor himself.
"One has to first devour the strength of the other eight, causing all nine portions of the inheritance to gather in a single body…" Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered with sharpness. He saw hope and pleading in Little Rascal’s eyes. Evidently, Little Rascal didn’t want him to cultivate the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s secret art. Because once he did so, if he wanted to complete the comprehensions, he and Little Rascal would then become enemies.
"Brahma Heavenly Emperor, a demon emperor. He must have regarded strength as the most important thing. The weak are food for the strong, he intended for all nine inheritors to fight against each other, devouring the comprehensions of the other eight. Undoubtedly, the remaining person would be the most terrifying existence."
How could Qin Wentian not understand the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s intentions? What a ruthless method, making his inheritors fight each other, leading to the fact that only one would survive. In this case, even if some of his inheritors died, the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance would still survive.
If he only passed it to a single person, the chance of the inheritance being lost again would be significantly higher.
"Okay, I won’t comprehend it." Qin Wentian smiled. "Will you be in danger here?"
Right now, there were already two inheritors present. Once the #2-ranker finished his comprehension, and upon realizing that Little Rascal is also one of the nine inheritors, that ruthless man would surely act against Little Rascal.
Little Rascal shook his head. After which he pressed out with his paws. Instantly, a cage of dazzling runic light enveloped him within. The cage of light was formed from many complex runic diagrams, and upon seeing this, Qin Wentian felt his heart relax. It would be impossible for anyone to forcibly interrupt the process of comprehension for this particular inheritance.
—bzz!—
At this moment, the sound of gushing wind drifted out from behind them. Qin Wentian and Qing`er turned, only to see numerous experts rushing over. They were none other than the geniuses they’d left outside. This scene caused a look of puzzlement to flicker in Qin Wentian’s eyes. Why were they all in here?
Given how powerful the eight immortal emperors were, they actually allowed all these geniuses to enter?
A gray-colored silhouette stepped in. The old man directly stood in the air and his gaze landed on Qin Wentian and Qing`er.
"Why didn’t you guys take the open positions?" mumble the gray-robed old man, staring quizzically at Qin Wentian and Qing`er, as though confused that they hadn’t gone for the inheritance.
This scene made Qin Wentian understand something. There were only two more open positions for the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. Before Mo Xie and Little Rascal, there were already five before them who had comprehended the inheritance. In that case, after he and Qing`er stepped in, by right, there shouldn’t be any more open spots. However, the gray-robed old man hadn’t anticipated that he and Qing`er wouldn’t try to take the last two open spots to comprehend the inheritance.
"Senior, we willingly chose to give it up," Qin Wentian replied.
"Give it up…give it up…" The old man was in a daze. However, his eyes suddenly shone with a terrifying light.
~swish~ A raging wind gusted and the mysterious gray-robed man appeared directly in front Qin Wentian, merely inches away. A fearsome aura gushed forth, causing Qin Wentian to feel a stifling sense of pressure.
"You actually gave it up?!" The mysterious old man seemed to be completely enraged as he took a step forward. With a rumbling boom, Qin Wentian’s body was blasted towards the statue. However, he was immediately blocked by a terrifying force. When he neared the statue, a runic light screen radiated out, exuding an incomparably heavy pressure that stopped him from slamming into the statue.
Qing`er’s countenance had turned cold. She wanted to stop the old man, but she only saw the old man’s silhouette flickering as he appeared once more before Qin Wentian. Those eyes of his were extremely terrifying.
"You two really want to give this up? Why do you want to give this up?!"
"Senior." Qin Wentian pointed to Little Rascal as he continued, "He is my companion. You should understand why I chose to give up…"
"Your companion!!!" That mysterious old man glanced at Little Rascal, before turning back to Qin Wentian, as though he suddenly understood something. After which, he sighed, "Forget it. Just let them fight each other then. It would depend on their luck and destiny to see who can gain the complete inheritance in the end."
As the sound of his voice faded, his silhouette flickered as he vanished once again.
"The inheritance…" The eyes of all the geniuses shone with sharpness, staring at the demonic statue of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. Their eyes than turned to the two open positions beneath the two heads, the diagrams there must be the place to comprehend the inheritance.
"Let’s leave." Qin Wentian and Qing`er shuttled to the side. After which, rumbling sounds echoed out as powerful waves of energy swept over everything.
Zi Daoyang’s speed was the fastest, he immediately darted towards one of the diagrams as he roared, "GET LOST!"
His roar of anger shook the heavens, like the sound of the Great Dao, causing the hearts of everyone there to tremble violently.
"THAT POSITION IS MINE!" Zhan Peng’s speed was also incomparably fast. Stubbornness burned in his gaze. The Brahma Heavenly Emperor was a demon emperor. In that case, he had to have one of the positions no matter what. He and the Brahma Heavenly Emperor were both demonic beasts.
—BOOM!— Zi Daoyang pushed past the pressure generated by the statue, as his aura towered up into the skies. Nobody dared to stop him.
The others behind him had frenziedly dashed forward as well. However, when they felt the pressure generated by the statue, they felt as though they had stepped into a swamp. It was extremely difficult to move a single step, but in spite of this, they still did their best to try and step forward.
Bone Demon’s arms extended, shimmering with a runic glow, slamming into the backs of two geniuses. The two unfortunate ones instantly died from the attack; they had been caught unawares as they were resisting the pressure field.
Xu Ruxue’s divine whip constellation was unleashed to its limits. A long whip materialized in her hand and ferociously swept outwards. Crisp cracking sounds rang out endlessly, and every whip slash had enough power to penetrate through to the bone, causing deep bleeding wounds to her targets.
As for the other geniuses, all of them were attacking in a frenzy. Since everyone was affected by the swamp-like pressure field, they found it extremely hard to move and could only exchange blows to negate each other’s attacks. It was an extremely dangerous situation.
In the blink of an eye, over ten geniuses had died, or were heavily injured.
Qin Wentian and Qing`er became spectators, staring at the various geniuses fighting against each other. Before this, they were all united when facing against the eight immortal emperors, but when faced with the true inheritance, they could instantly turn on each other—there were no such things as allies at all.
At this moment, a dazzling red silhouette flashed by, as swift as red lightning. The red silhouette dashed into the crowd, and a terrifying crimson flame ignited with enough heat to burn everything.
This silhouette pointed her finger outwards, and instantly, a crimson flame danced wildly and transformed into a divine phoenix— boom!— Mere moments later, several geniuses had all been burned to death.
"Nanfeng…" Qin Wentian’s expression stiffened. Why was Nanfeng Yunxi here? Not only that, she was also exuding a deadly aura. Before this, although Nanfeng Yunxi’s aura felt like ice, it wasn’t in anyway comparable to the power she exuded now.
What had happened to her exactly?
