Chapter 1700: Fighting the Jiang Clan

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

The empyreans of the Heaven Talisman Realm were all killed. The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect controlled by the Heaven Talisman Realm was instantly demoted back into a major power instead of a supreme power. They had no more empyreans left. Since this was so, it was impossible for them to unify Azure Mystic any longer. Those powers that had submitted to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect earlier all started to regret.

After their four empyreans were killed, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was knocked off their divine pedestal and even before the tripartite balance was formed for long, it already disintegrated. Right now, only two supreme powers remained to contend for supremacy of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms but many discussions sounded out saying the Heaven Empyrean, Qin Wentian, would be the eventual hegemon.

The vast majority of people felt that it wouldn’t be too long before the Heaven Empyrean dominated the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. He would destroy the Jiang Clan and became the only supreme power remaining.

After several days, news circulated out that the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect had collapsed. A supreme power with four empyreans was knocked off their divine pedestal and became history. They themselves also understood that without any empyreans, let alone contending against Qin Wentian, even if Qin Wentian didn’t participate, they also wouldn’t be able to win against the forces under Qin Wentian.

After the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect collapsed, all its experts also dispersed. Those powers that submitted to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect all came to the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, wanting to submit to Qin Wentian. However, Qin Wentian rejected all of them.

Although he wanted to give an era of peace to Azure Mystic, he wasn’t any saint that was extremely kind. When he contended against the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and Jiang Clan, all three sides were equal. Since these powers had chosen then to join the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, where was the logic that he would accept them once the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect collapsed? But naturally, he also wouldn’t be cruel enough to kill these people but in any case, it was destined in the future that these powers would never be able to stand at the peak of Azure Mystic. If he became the ultimate hegemon of Azure Mystic, the control of Azure Mystic in the future would naturally be left in the hands of those powers who first chose to submit to him.

After the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, only the Jiang Clan remained. Back then in the Evergreen Immortal Empire, Qin Wentian said that he wanted to kill Jiang Zihua but the empyreans of the Jiang Clan rejected it. Now that the empyreans of the Heavenly Talisman Realm were destroyed and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect had collapsed, would Qin Wentian spare the Jiang Clan?

Everyone in the immortal realms were waiting for the battle to decide the overlord of Azure Mystic to erupt.

Today, Qin Wentian sent his men to the Jiang Clan to transmit a message, telling the Jiang Clan to hand over Jiang Zihua and that the Jiang Clan must never interfere in matters of Azure Mystic again.

The Jiang Clan naturally rejected. They cursed at Qin Wentian’s arrogance and hence, the relationship between both parties became one of increased mutual hostility and combat seemed likely to erupt at any moment. If the Heaven Empyrean Qin Wentian and the Samsara Empyrean killed their way into the Jiang Clan, would the three empyreans of the Jiang Clan be able to stop them?

Today, the three empyreans of the Jiang Clan sent Qin Wentian a challenge letter. The challenge letter arrived at the Evergreen Immortal Empire’s imperial palace and Qin Wentian directly accepted it, moving out straight after he read it, heading alone to the location of the arranged battle.

At the boundaries where the eastern and southern regions meet, there was a huge stretch of ocean there with many islands situated within the stretch.

At this moment, two empyreans of the Jiang Clan were sitting on one of the islands. They had their eyes closed but light from their laws faintly revolved around them as formless law ripples radiated forth, permeating the vast ocean. Finally, one of them opened his eyes, “He has arrived. However, Qin Wentian is alone, I didn’t see Hua Taixu.”

“Could he be hiding in the darkness?” Someone replied. After that, he took out a messaging crystal and selected a strand of immortal sense, transmitting the message.

“If he is, how can he hide his presence from us?” That person confidently spoke. The two of them nodded and an instant later, Qin Wentian could be seen soaring through the air, arriving at the air space above them.

“Why are there only two of you?” Qin Wentian stood in the air and stared at the two empyreans of the Jiang Clan. The one of the left replied, “Qin Wentian, your actions in Azure Mystic are too arrogant. Even if you are the number one expert of Azure Mystic, you won’t be able to escape the fate of dying young.”

“The Heavenly Talisman Realm has already collapsed due to me. Where does your confidence come from?” Qin Wentian asked.

“The Heavenly Talisman Realmlord is merely the lord of a realm in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. How can he be compared to us, the Ancient Jiang Clan that had inheritances from countless years ago? In the lower world, you can still flaunt your might, but if this place was the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, my Jiang Clan can crush you just like crushing an ant. Qin Wentian, let me give you a final warning. Don’t try to be an ant trying to shake a tree. For some people, you won’t be able to afford antagonizing them.” The empyrean from the Jiang Clan spoke.

“I don’t know about the matters in Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. But in this place, the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, I’m sure I can afford to antagonize your Jiang Clan.” Qin Wentian spoke as a terrifying aura permeated the area. He couldn’t be bothered to waste time talking. Since the Jiang Clan challenged him, let’s fight then.

The eyes of the two empyreans from the Jiang Clan flashed golden and emitted sharpness. Golden buddhic light covered them, becoming an armor, exuding imposingness.

“Disable!” One of them roared. This was a buddha-path secret art known as the Immobile Art. Qin Wentian only felt terrifying surges of buddha laws source origin converging into an ancient rune that imprinted itself into his body. In the next moment, he felt his body turning stiff as his mobility was disabled.

The other empyrean stepped out, directly soaring through the air, arriving before Qin Wentian. His palm blasted forth, manifesting countless numbers of indestructible weapons that could slice apart the void. When they slashed at Qin Wentian, they directly cut into his flesh, entering his body.

The reason why the two of them were so confident was also because they had great strength. Upon joining forces, ordinary empyreans would surely be defeated and killed by a single strike from them.

However, how could Qin Wentian be an ordinary empyrean? When the attacks cut into his flesh, another body came out from his original body. There were now two Qin Wentians in the air. It was like the molting of a cicada and in the next instant, the first body was destroyed while Qin Wentian flew higher up in the air with a surprised look on his face. The empyreans of the Jiang Clan were truly extraordinary. Luckily, the Qin Wentian now was extremely experienced and had cultivated many different methods.

In the air, terrifying spatial storms appeared while countless spatial gates manifested. The airspace above the ocean was incomparably resplendent with flashes of light.

One of the empyreans of the Jiang Clan folded incantation gestures. The Immobile Art Rune was powered by the Great Dao and emitted buddhic chants, imprinting itself into the countless spatial gates in the air, forcing them closed.

As for the other empyrean, he transformed into a golden ancient buddha, manifesting a dharma body. Buddhic light gleamed resplendently and lightning crackled around him. Each of his attacks contained the power of lightning and thunder as he joined his ally in crushing all the remaining spatial gates. After that, he directly lunged towards Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian’s silhouette kept flickering as he stepped in and out of the spatial gates he created. The mysterious Jiang Clan was proficient in buddha laws. Many in Azure Mystic guessed that they must have plenty of buddha-path inheritances and back then those years ago, Jiang Zihua even defeated Bujie’s master before. Although the states of their hearts didn’t mirror that of the buddha, there was no need to doubt their combat prowess, all of the Jiang Clan’s members were extremely powerful.

“Qin Wentian, you won’t be able to escape us.” The empyrean that used the Immobile Art coldly spoke. At this moment, he also manifested a dharma body and the buddic energy both of them emitted caused numerous ancient buddhas to manifest in the air as they descended from the heavens. At this moment, this entire space was filled with the ancient buddhas. The pressure they exuded caused terrifying rumbling sounds as the ocean below churned wildly, it seemed that the Jiang Clan’s empyreans wanted to seal away everything here with their buddha arts.

Qin Wentian’s flickering silhouette continued retreating. After that, explosive rumblings rang out as the ancient buddhas rushed at him. The Jiang Clan’s empyrean also continued to use his Immobile Art, wanting to disable Qin Wentian’s movements. Such power was too terrifying, capable of shaking the heavens. The unaffiliated cultivators cultivating on this stretch of ocean were all startled away by the sounds of this battle. When they saw the numerous buddhas filling the air, all of them felt a sense of disbelief as they continued to watch in a dumbfounded manner.

Such endless uninterrupted attacks made Qin Wentian felt extremely troublesome. After evading another wave of attacks, a giant palm imprint imbued with the immobile rune actually blasted his way, generating fearsome wind force from the power of that strike. It seemed that the Jiang Clan’s empyrean had predicted where he was going to appear next and had attacked that position in advance.

Clearly, just defending alone wasn’t a good strategy.

At this moment, Qin Wentian’s body turned a shade of inky-black. Devil clouds suddenly covered the sky as a fearsome ancient supreme devil lord appeared before him.

When the palm imprint closed in, Qin Wentian’s dark eyes gleamed with devil light. Immense amounts of devil might flooded the area, directly corroding the buddhic light.

“RETURN!” He coldly roared, the supreme devil lord expanded in size and stood tall, peering down with arrogance at everything under the heavens, as it slowly fused with Qin Wentian. Its head reached the sky, its foot stepped into the ocean, it was like this devil lord was the hegemon of this world and could control the heavens and earth. With a single roar from Qin Wentian, that Immobile Art Rune actually transformed into a devil rune after being coated with the immense devil might permeating the area. The palm imprint instantly turned around and blasted towards the two Jiang Clan’s empyreans instead.

The inheritance of the Myriad Devil Island emphasized the laws of control. Back then at the immortal king realm, Qin Wentian could already defeat experts at the same realm using devil-path attacks on them. He could reverse their attacks and crush them effortlessly. All devil cultivators weren’t able to last a single strike before him.

Right now, he had already entered the empyrean realm and had comprehended the source origins of devil laws. Only now could he truly unleash the full power of the inheritance.

The essence of the Myriad Devil Sovereign’s inheritance was the essence of control. All devils had to submit, the laws of heaven and earth are all for me to use.

Even the ancient buddhas summoned by the two Jiang Clan’s empyreans began to corrode under the devil might. The inky-black light covered the golden buddhic light as the two intrinsic opposite-aligned powers clashed madly. But ultimately, the ancient buddhas were converted into ancient devil lords. From this, one could tell how tyrannical the Myriad Devil Sovereign’s inheritance is, it could truly ignore the laws of the world and use them according to the user’s will. If this inheritance was cultivated to the peak, how terrifying would it be? Wouldn’t it reach a state where as long as the user wants devil to exist, there wouldn’t be any buddhas in the world?

…

And just as Qin Wentian was fighting against the two Jiang Clan’s empyreans, in the location of the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, two terrifying auras appeared. At this moment, two figures could be seen in the air. One of them was the third empyrean from the Jiang Clan and for the other figure, no one had seen him before but his aura was extremely fearsome. This man was an empyrean from the Ying Clan in the upper world and was here for revenge. A crazy killing intent could be seen flickering in his eyes!

Qin Wentian had destroyed the Ying Clan in the lower world. Since this is the case, he wanted Qin Wentian to suffer as he did. A debt of blood must be repaid by blood. He will annihilate the Evergreen Immortal Empire!
