Chapter 1030: Manipulator Behind the Scenes
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The tempest had lasted only a short while, but it generated enough shockwaves to make everyone in the Royal Sacred City flee in terror.
As for the experts from the Star River Association, they had already been surrounded and killed. After all, the disparity in strength between both sides was just too great.
"Have all those experts died?" The spectators felt their hearts trembling. Those who died were immortals and one among them was a supreme and high-ranked immortal king. Yet, they had actually died here in this particle world.
The Star River Association had been eradicated.
Everyone stared at Qin Wentian who stood in the air. They never expected that a commotion of such magnitude would actually occur in a particle world because of Qin Wentian.
The immortal sense of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord had yet to vanish. He appeared before Qin Wentian and said, "This matter won't end so simply, so it's best that you leave this particle world immediately."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. Just earlier, the Star River Association had sent an immortal king to kill him. Qin Wentian could sense that this incident wasn't at all simple. Although the Star River Association hated him, their grudge wasn't deep enough for them to pay such a price. Although he had eradicated the Star River Association here in the past, it was just within the scope of a particle world—to the Star River Association, this wouldn't count as significant. The Star River Association's tendrils stretched across numerous particle worlds, and was most assuredly a large power in the immortal realms.
In the past, this particle world didn't even have an immortal foundation expert from the Star River Association. Now, so many immortals had suddenly appeared, even an immortal king. How could this matter be as simple as reoccupying a particle world?
"Xian`er, follow me to the immortal realms. I can't guarantee that the association won't deal with you after we leave," Qin Wentian said to Lin Xian`er who stood beside him.
"Okay, I will listen to you." Lin Xian`er nodded her head lightly. She had always wanted to go to the immortal realms, and now that Qin Wentian was willing to bring her there, she naturally wouldn't reject the opportunity.
"Let's go." The group of experts soared into the air, but just as they were about to leave, a mighty pressure bore down from above. A group of people appeared to block their path.
These people all wore expressions that radiated hostility, and their auras were tyrannical to the extreme. Apparently, they had been a step too late—an allied immortal king had actually fallen in this world.
The two parties were still far away from each other, but their auras had already clashed as they stared at each other from the distance.
"Has the Star River Association and the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect joined forces?"
"Senior Emperor Lord is too serious. The Star River Association wanted to take over this world, whereas we from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect are here to capture Qin Wentian. This man has killed many of our sect members and we have orders to bring him back," replied an immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
"It looks like the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect keeps looking for an opportunity to start a war with my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Is this the excuse you were waiting for?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed coldly. Previously, he'd taken away six of the thirteen prefectures from the control of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. How could the Eastern Sage swallow this defeat so easily? Both their forces had experienced endless minor conflicts, but a full-blown, all-out war? Apparently, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had run out of patience.
"Senior, don't forget the agreement. If we start a war, immortal emperors cannot participate in it," continued the immortal king of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
"No matter what, the Cloud Prefecture is now under my control. Shouldn't the particle worlds near it also be under the governance of my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect? You guys chose to start a war here, so it seems like you're all very confident," the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord said coldly. In the air, numerous figures walked out from the void, exuding fearsome might. They were all immortal kings.
"Emperor Lord has truly made thorough preparations for a mere particle world," The immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect coldly surveyed his contemporaries, silently gauging their strength.
"Are you guys not the same as well? Preparing so many experts just to capture Qin Wentian? If I'm not wrong, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect must have already stationed many immortal kings around this particle world, all preparing to fight against my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, right?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke calmly, his words causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble. He didn't expect that a war would erupt between two supreme powers of the immortal realms because of him.
"Thousand Transformations, you are really intelligent indeed." At this moment, a gigantic image appeared in the air. Everyone in the particle world could see who it was.
"Eastern Sage." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord nodded. This was a projection of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
"Thousand Transformations, since you want six of my prefectures, you'd best be prepared for a war. I'd like to see whether you, Thousand Transformations, have the capability to govern my territories." The voice of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor boomed out. After which, he turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian—the eyes of that illusory projection gleamed with a cold killing intent.
"Qin Wentian." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was an immortal emperor character. To him, this entire world was nothing but a speck of dirt. However, Qin Wentian, an immortal foundation character, had succeeded in igniting his killing intent numerous times, publicly smacking his face more than once in the past.
"It can be considered quite coincidental that you chose this time to return to your particle world. In that case, let us settle everything here. Listen up, there's no longer a need to capture Qin Wentian—just kill him directly!" commanded the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
"Roger!" replied the experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
The people of the particle world inclined their heads, staring at the projection of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor in the air. This was the same immortal emperor that had once appeared here all those years ago. He had wanted to accept a disciple from their world, but in the end, had rejected Qin Wentian. Now, he had appeared here once again to kill Qin Wentian. But now it seemed that Qin Wentian had already joined a major power in the immortal realms, and in addition, that major power was one that was in direct conflict with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
Boundless light flashed in the sky as numerous experts descended. Their bodies were incomparably huge, roughly around the size between 10,000 to 100,000 meters, their gargantuan forms standing in the sky of this particle world.
These experts were all immortal king existences, and the vast majority of them were from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. The Star River Association seemed to have retreated into the shadows, allowing the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect to be the main players for the upcoming battle.
"This…" The people of the particle world stared at the lofty supreme immortal kings in the air as they felt a sense of doom over their heads. This was too terrifying—these people were so large that it felt the entire world was being enveloped.
Immortal kings could expand their sizes at will. They didn't need any unique immortal arts and could enlarge themselves with just their wills alone.
In the air, numerous beams of light flashed, congregating into a fearsome spatial tempest that rent space apart where even more experts walked out from within. These figures also expanded in size as they walked towards those from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, standing in opposition to the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
"It's crazy. If this war erupts, this entire world will surely be destroyed." The spectators from the particle world went from their initial excitement to extreme terror. There were simply too many experts blotting out the sky. They were like divinities, causing the people of the particle world to feel how inconsequential they were. In front of these immortals, they truly were nothing but insects.
Right now, they could clearly sense the disaster about to occur. This war between the two sides would definitely destroy the particle world.
"Eastern Sage." At this moment, Qin Wentian spoke as he stared past the air. Although his voice wasn't loud, he believed that the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would be able to hear his words.
"There's nothing much to say about the grudge between us. However, there is no need for a particle world to be destroyed because of our battle. Do you know how heavy the accumulated sin would be if you destroyed a particle world? How about we fight this battle in the starry space instead?" Qin Wentian stared at the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as he spoke.
Around the immortal realms, there were a countless number of particle worlds. Each world was filled with boundless lives, and the number of living things could reach billions.
In the immortal realms, it was considered a grave sin to destroy a particle world. For superstrong experts, they would all avoid this without question.
"The sins from this battle will not taint my karma. You are the one responsible for the destruction of this particle world," the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor said coldly, his eyes devoid of emotion.
He was a lofty immortal emperor, and all things were like ants to him. A particle world was simply a world of country bumpkins—he had no regard for them at all. He wouldn't participate personally in this battle, and so the sin would not taint him. And even if there was sin, he had already lived for so many years, and he had already became an immortal emperor. What did he have to fear?
Throughout the immortal realms, he could count the number of people who had the ability to move against him with his fingers/on one hand. How could he be bothered by total sin from destroying a particle world?
Qin Wentian felt his body turning cold. His gaze flashed with a boundless killing intent as he stared at the gigantic silhouette in the air. Was this a supreme and lofty immortal emperor of the immortal realms? He had no regard for the lives of the people in a particle world.
The inhabitants of this particle world all heard the voice of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. They inclined their heads and stared at his silhouette, all with similar feelings of frustration and rage. Although they couldn't hear what Qin Wentian had said, they could guess from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's reply that Qin Wentian didn't want a great war to unfold here in this particle world that could lead to its destruction. However, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had rejected his suggestion.
Oppressed. The entire world was being oppressed. In the next instant, everyone in this world felt their nerves stretched taut with tension. A war could erupt at any moment and if it did, the magnitude of the calamity would utterly destroy them all.
"Eastern Sage, if you still insist on bringing war to this entire world, then as long as I'm still alive, I, Qin Wentian will make sure to annihilate your entire clan." Qin Wentian's fists were clenched. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was filled with contempt for the lives in this particle world, treating them all like ants.
"KILL!" roared the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor when he heard Qin Wentian's words, exuding an extremely terrifying killing intent!
