Ancient Godly Monarch

In the forbidden grounds of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, it has always been rare for people to enter, especially traveling all the way into its depths. Usually, people would avoid the place, Qin Wentian only entered by accident in the past.

However now, in the depths of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty’s forbidden ground that couldn’t be seen by people, large quantities of experts actually amassed there. All of them belonged to different camps, and not only were empyreans here, there were also many immortal emperors sent here from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to execute orders.

Empyreans, even to many powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, can be considered scarce. For example in the Lifelong Realm that was boundlessly vast, only the world palace lords of each world palace was at this level.

But naturally, in the perspective of the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, there were simply too many empyreans as the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was just way too vast. There were countless world overlord-level major powers there, just like the number of sand particles on the banks of the Ganges River.

Right now, Qin Wentian came to one of the mountain peaks in the Immortal Law Mountain Range. He stood there at this place where he had once cultivated before, and cast his gaze into the horizons. Even though he was already an empyrean, his immortal sense was still not powerful enough yet and was restricted.

In the distance, a resplendent beam of light suddenly flashed as a group of experts appeared in the air. Their robes were luxurious and the person in the center looked extremely young. However, his eyes were golden and contained a terrifying penetrating force as though he was able to see through everything with a single glance.

He took out a divine weapon. This divine weapon was an incomparably large ancient bell and with a wave of his hand, the ancient bell flew forwards, entering into the fog formation inside the forbidden ground. In the next moment, a chime that resembled the sound of the Great Dao drifted over. The fog covering the area suddenly thinned and beams of golden light shot out by the ancient bell illuminated the surroundings. In the next instant, millions of runes filled the air, they shot out like lightning arcing through the skies, containing the power of the Great Dao in them.

The chimes continued ringing, as more and more beams of golden light appeared. After that, the ancient bell appeared before this group of experts again, it was now extremely enormous and had broken the restriction caused by the fog formation. It rose into the air and continued to radiate golden light that made the fog thin constantly. As time passed, the space in the forbidden ground became cleared of all fog, only the golden light illuminating everything still existed.

Their immortal senses were no longer restricted and their vision became clear. Many figures flew forward, this forbidden grounds wasn’t as large as they had expected, they could see everything with a single glance.

Earlier, their senses were confused due to the bewildering fog formation.

Qin Wentian glanced at the experts gathered here. They stood before a gate, over there, looking into the gate, there seemed to another world inside.

“Battlefield of that world-ending battle.” Qin Wentian mused silently, recalling the contents of the ancient records in the Askheart Temple. Ancient Azure Mystic, the battlefield for the world-ending battle, those heavenly deities were buried inside there by a godly heaven-defying secret art used by the Imperishable Heaven Lord. Now that the restriction order on Azure Mystic was relaxed, it seems that that existence must have the intentions to expose the world-ending battlefield to others. If not, given his power, how could mere empyreans be able to discover this place?

“Old freak, does this have something to do with you?” Qin Wentian silently mused. Back then, it was here in the forbidden grounds where he met that old freak. However, there wasn’t a single trace of that old freak here now.

The ancient bell returned, it transformed into a smaller version one that could fit into the young man’s palm. The other experts here all glanced in his direction and their eyes gleamed as they tried to guess the young man’s identity. Only empyreans should be able to take out such a treasure.

“I pay my respects to Young Master Wang.” An empyrean suddenly walked out. He seemed to have discovered the young man’s identity and was bowing slightly to him. Both were empyreans but upon seeing the respectful attitude of this empyrean towards the young man, one could imagine how high the status of the young man was. In any place with humans, there would always be a rigid ranking structure for things like strength and backgrounds. This was also true for the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

“Young Master Wang?” Many people were still speculating, their eyes flickering with thoughts. After that, many empyreans narrowed their eyes as shock filled their hearts. They respectively stepped forward and greeted, “We pay our respects to Young Master Wang.”

They didn’t know what this Young Master Wang’s full name was, but the fact that he came from that clan, was already sufficient.

“Young Master Wang destroyed the fog formation so easily, how impressive.” Someone respectfully spoke.

Young Master Wang still stood in the air, projecting a cold and lofty aura. He who was controlling the divine giant bell also clearly felt proud about it.

“Just a mere bewildering formation.” The voice of Young Master Wang was as arrogant as everyone thought it would be. His character was clear from how he spoke. Such pride was deep in his bones, and displayed itself from his demeanor. However, he naturally did have the qualifications to act like this. Even in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the power of his clan could be considered to be at a very high position.

However, although he was arrogant, he was very clear what his clan sent him here to do. This time, his clan placed their hopes on him, he had to have some harvest.

“Any news from those we sent in to probe?” Young Master Wang asked.

“Yes, we can already be sure that the gate will lead us to the legendary battlefield of the dusk of gods.” A person replied. “In there, there are many zombies, they should be those who died in the battle during ancient times. Also, they are extremely powerful and cannot be killed unless they are directly crushed into smithereens. Many of those we sent in have already died. We received no further news from any of them.”

“There’s one more point.” That person continued. “This gate is a one-way gate, it will vanish after people enters it. Up until now, no one has managed to find the exit.”

“Continue to send in more people to probe then.” Young Master Wang apathetically and calmly spoke.

“Many people refuse to enter anymore.” That person softly spoke. Young Master Wang’s eyes flashed and he instantly understood. Even for empyreans, there was a high chance of them dying if they entered. Most of the major powers used their immortal emperors to probe the way and those emperors who entered had all completely died. The remaining subordinates had no wish to send themselves to death. Although they were curious about the legendary battlefield, their life was still more important.

“There should be many immortal emperors in this immortal realms, right? Just grab them and send them in directly.” Young Master Wang spoke, his tone was indifferent. It was like in his eyes, the lives of the immortal emperors in this immortal realms was completely insignificant.

“This…” The eyes of that person gleamed. At this moment, another person spoke up, “Senior, you might not know of this but there is already an overlord who unified this immortal realms. His title is the Heaven Empyrean and he prohibits people from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms from doing things that would disturb the peace of Azure Mystic. Before this, many powerful empyreans from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were all killed off by this Heaven Empyrean.”

“The Heaven Empyrean? What a grand title.” The eyes of the young man flickered with coldness. “This Azure Mystic that appeared after the world-ending battle, is no longer Ancient Azure Mystic. Also, given that it was sealed for so many years, this is only a place of weaklings. How dare that person proclaim his title to be the Heaven Empyrean? He’s merely a frog in a well. Since he is the overlord of Azure Mystic, get him to send out the order to gather immortal emperors and make them enter to probe the space within.”

“He won’t give that order.” At this moment, Qin Wentian spoke from a distance. The young man surnamed Wang glanced over, his golden eyes gleamed with a terrifying sharpness.

“Who are you.” He asked.

“The frog in the well whom you are speaking about.” Qin Wentian replied.

“Heaven Empyrean?” The young man surnamed Wang mockingly laughed. “Claiming to be Heaven Empyrean in this pathetic layer of immortal realms. Do you even know what sort of existence the Imperishable Heaven Lord who participated in that ancient world-ending battle back then was?”

Qin Wentian might be a person of the current Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, but he learned of the history back then through the ancient records. He sighed with respect in his heart, he was filled with reverence towards the Imperishable Heaven Lord and he really wanted to see how he fought against the heavenly deities alone and buried this entire world. The Imperishable Heaven Lord was the overlord of Ancient Azure Mystic. He refused to lower his head although it might mean his death.

“I have no idea. But since I’m the current overlord of Azure Mystic, I naturally have to protect this place. In the past, the Heaven Lord did so as well.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke.

“In that case, let’s see if your strength is comparable to the Imperishable Heaven Lord then.” The young man waved his hand as the ancient bell he was holding flew out, instantly expanding. The might of the Great Dao radiated from it, akin to a flood of chaos energy that instantly enveloped the surroundings, causing waves of heavenly might to bore down on Qin Wentian. Countless bolts of destructive lightning formed from runes also locked Qin Wentian down, making sure that he could not escape.

Qin Wentian’s body gleamed with the resplendent light of countless runes. He had a body of a fiendgod, with both the energy of buddha and devil. With his vajra holy will protecting him, his body was like an indestructible one. The bolts of lightning blasted over, creating thunderous rumbling noises. Qin Wentian’s defense was actually broken from the vibrations that manifested from the impact. He retreated but the runes manifested from the ancient bell, that had the power of the Great Dao, directly slammed into him, flinging him far away. He groaned in pain as many wounds appeared on his body, which was seemingly on the verge of crumbling away.

A powerful undying energy and the light of vital energy instantly caused his body to be rejuvenated. He stared at the ancient bell that was far away as he felt shock in his heart. This ancient bell was definitely a supreme treasure, containing unblockable might. Although the Young Master Wang was powerful, he still couldn’t control and unleash the full potential of the ancient bell or his body might have already been smashed from that exchange of blows earlier.

There were simply too many experts in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Now that the entrance to Ancient Azure Mystic has appeared, the experts from the many major powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms all gathered here. More and more characters have came, possessing supremely powerful treasures. Qin Wentian didn’t know if this would become a disastrous calamity for the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.

“Heaven Empyrean?” The young man mockingly spoke. But at this moment, an empyrean beside him transmitted his voice to remind him, “Young master, although the restriction order on Azure Mystic is now relaxed, that existence is after all still someone from Azure Mystic. He had sealed Azure Mystic for so many years because he wanted the people here to live in peace, he most probably wouldn’t wish for too much destruction or too many people here to die. It’s better for us not to offend that existence.”

The eyes of the young man flashed. He was initially about to unleash a killing blow but he hesitated and nodded in agreement. Although he didn’t know what sort of character that existence was, he still had trepidation and respect in his heart. Since that was the case, he decided to spare the immortal emperors of Azure Mystic this time around.

He made a gesture as that treasured bell returned to his palm. He glanced at everyone and spoke, “If there is no one willing to probe the way, let us wait here then. Let’s wait for more experts from the other powers to arrive before we enter together.”
