Chapter 1350: Monstrously Terrifying Expert
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian stood up and stared at the dipliated city before him. Right now, he could faintly be sure that a great war once erupted here.
This majestic city was extremely vast, the two gigantic stone tablets which he passed by, were like guards guarding this place. They were both sentient and were existences similar to immortal emperors. From this, one could very well imagine how grand this city was originally.
What a pity, right now, everything in the city seemed to have collapsed into ruins.
"Those zombies and their longings. That graveyard. Could it be that all of them were heroes and experts of this majestic city of the past?" Qin Wentian mused, he felt that this had quite a high probability of being right.
Could the mysterious man earlier be a lucky survivor?
If that was the case, this forbidden ground was even more ancient compared to the history of the Darknorth Immortal Empire, countless times more ancient in comparison.
By thinking on this train of thought, if that mysterious man was a lucky survivor of the ancient war, how long must he have lived for?
Just having this thought alone, Qin Wentian was already extremely shocked.
If this was true, that mysterious man must be a supremely terrifying ancient old freak.
Before this, the tunnel to the Heavenly Talisman Realm was forcibly closed. Qin Wentian guessed that that shouldn't be something the stone tablet was able to do. That stone tablet earlier only wanted to suppress him, and the actual act of closing the tunnel should have been done by the mysterious man. Even though the mysterious man didn't appear, he was able to close the spatial tunnel with ease. How monstrously terrifying was he?
"I might have met a supremely old freak." Qin Wentian mused. In this Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, the strongest experts he heard of before, were the ancient emperors. Ranked below them, were immortal emperors followed by immortal kings. What cultivation realm must this old monster have reached?
Could he be a peak immortal emperor? Or has he reached the legendary ancient emperor level?
Why did such an existence wish for him to break through to immortal king within a year? If he failed to do so, he would die.
With a flash, Qin Wentian entered the depths of the once majestic city. He discovered that not only was this city was extremely dipliated, there were strong traces of destructive law energy everywhere.
As he continued deeper into the depths, he saw a ten thousand meter absolute devil saber hanging suspended in the air. Even now, devil might was gushing ferociously forth from the saber, despite the long passage of time.
He saw terrifying stretches of abyssal flames, burning a large area of land in the city, causing the space to look like the underworld. From afar, he could already feel how scorching that place was. He didn't dare to get close to it and chose to take a long detour to bypass it.
He also saw a region filled with lightning which constantly fell from the sky. If one watched from the air, he would determine that that place was simply impassable. Qin Wentian who was in the city, could clearly sense how terrifying the lightning bolts were.
"I have to hurry up and break through to the immortal king realm." Qin Wentian mused silently. He no longer had time. When he saw the terrifying destructive might in so many areas within the city, he didn't doubt that if he failed to reach immortal king in a year, the other party would definitely kill him.
In addition, he also didn't attempt to escape using the spatial tunnel. Because although he couldn't sense the aura of that mysterious man, he had a strange feeling that the mysterious man was observing him.
Given the fearsome cultivation base of the mysterious man, maybe his immortal sense could surround this entire city with just a thought. Since he could easily close off the tunnel to the Heavenly Talisman Realm, Qin Wentian had no way to flee at all.
Qin Wentian began his cultivation journey, advancing and pausing at times. He would sometimes sit down to contemplate the energy fluctuations as well.
And as he was cultivating, a huge commotion appeared in the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
When Qin Wentian opened up the spatial tunnel and the spatial tunnel was forcibly closed off by an outside force, the immortal generals in the Heavenly Talisman Realm sensed it. They couldn't afford to treat this matter lightly.
Not far away from the gigantic stone tablets, at the location where Qin Wentian opened up the spatial tunnel earlier, a terrifying surge of spatial fluctuations radiated as a void gate appeared and a group of experts emitting terrifying auras walked out.
"As expected, this place is the mysterious forbidden ground within the Darknorth Immortal Mountain." A person spoke.
"Mhm, we have to be careful in this forbidden ground. I wonder which junior brother came here. It's best for us to be more cautious as this place is exceedingly mysterious. It's also rumored to have extremely fearsome monsters within and the secrets inside are still unknown." Another person spoke.
They continued forward and eventually, saw the two gigantic stone tablets, resonating with the constellations, producing a suppressive pressure on the surroundings, gleaming with a dazzling light.
"Emperor-ranked weapon?" The eyes of the experts flashed with an intense sharpness.
"RUMBLE!" One of the stone tablet suddenly increased the suppressive pressure, causing this entire space to tremble. The expressions of the experts all changed. Could it be that these stone tablets were able to launch attacks with their own will?
One of them stabbed out a finger strike, causing cracks to appear ahead. The ground started trembling as an earthquake occurred, terrifying to the extreme.
After that, numerous figures suddenly descended from the air, exuding no auras at all. There weren't the slightest hints of life from these figures.
"Zombies?" The eyes of everyone flashed. What secrets did this forbidden ground have exactly?
Who was it who forcibly closed the spatial tunnel?
"I wonder if there's anyone here? Would the person in the shadows be willing to show your face?" An expert from the Heavenly Talisman Realm spoke, his voice booming like thunder. However, the suppressive pressure from the stone tablets actually acted as a barrier to the sound, causing his voice to be unable to leave this region.
"Setting up a secret realm outside this layer of the immortal realms? I have no interest with regards to your secrets. Stop bothering me." A voice from the void echoed out, filled with the ancientness and vicissitudes of time. The experts from the Heavenly Talisman Realm didn't even know which direction the voice sprang from.
The eyes of everyone flashed, there was actually a supreme expert here hiding inside the Immortal Law Mountain Range of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty and he was able to see through the secrets of their Heavenly Talisman Realm with a single glance, and could even forcibly close the spatial tunnel.
"Senior, who might you be? Before this, a junior from our sect was here. Can senior please show mercy?" An expert spoke, politely referring to the unknown person as senior. Clearly, he could already sense how terrifying this unknown character is.
"Nameless people, I don't really like killing. The junior of your sect is still alive for now, but if he wants to live on, he can only depend on himself. All of you should return." That voice rang out again, causing the eyes of the experts present to flash with reluctance.
The immortal realms were extremely vast and there would definitely be some secret existences. Just like the fact that their Heavenly Talisman Realm existed, it was a closely kept secret only known to a limited few.
Frowning, all of them didn't know how to handle this matter. There was a fearsome supreme expert and this place was a forbidden ground. It wasn't really too serious for such a character to know of their Heavenly Talisman Realm, but they were truly feeling reluctant to leave just like this.
"Return, return, return!"
At this moment, an intense thunderous sound echoed unceasingly. The experts from the Heavenly Talisman Realm stiffened, they could feel a powerful energy causing their bodies to freeze. After that, to their horror, they discovered that they were all being forced back to the spatial tunnel they created earlier as the tunnel closed before their eyes.
"If there's someone else from your realm coming here to disturb me in the future, I will charge right through the spatial tunnel and slay everyone within."
A voice rang out like thunder in the minds of the experts. After that, the spatial tunnel closed completely.
Within the Heavenly Talisman Realm, the few experts felt their hearts trembling with terror. They had never met such a terrifying person before, or even heard of someone like this.
"What cultivation realm does that person have?" One of them turned to the strongest expert among them, an immortal emperor.
"I don't know." That immortal emperor had a look of fear on his face. He didn't know what the cultivation realm of that supreme expert earlier was. They were basically not on the same level. He only knew that in his entire life, he hasn't met anyone as strong as that.
"We will stop antagonizing him and keep his existence a secret." That immortal emperor's expression turned solemn. "Seems like the junior who entered the forbidden ground is extremely fortunate. Just like what that man has said, he didn't like to kill. If not, regardless of how many major characters went there, I'm afraid none of us would survive."
"But the rumors said that the death rate of the forbidden ground is extremely high. At the very least, only those at the immortal king realm would barely qualified to enter there."
"Maybe the cause of their deaths were because of the zombie monsters and that mysterious expert had no hand in it. If he really acted, who in the immortal realms can stand against him? Luckily, he seemed to be living a life of a recluse and has no interest in matters of the external world." That immortal emperor spoke. After that, all the experts turned and departed, no longer daring to probe this matter. If they continued probing, that supreme existence might truly be angered.
Qin Wentian had no idea of this incident, he was in a state where he forgot everything, fully focused on his cultivation. Time was tight, he could feel that he was already very near the immortal king realm. He had to break through as quickly as possible.
At this moment, a figure akin to an apparition suddenly appeared beside him. It was none other than that mysterious figure. He stood beside Qin Wentian and coldly spoke, "Not even a bit of improvement? Why is your cultivation speed so slow?"
Qin Wentian furrowed his brows, as his cultivation was interrupted. He opened his eyes and glanced at the mysterious figure as he spoke, "Senior…"
"Those experts from your secret realm opened up a spatial tunnel and came here. They simply didn't know how the word 'death' is written. If it isn't for me vowing not to kill people, they would long be dead. You better remind them not to divulge any details of my existence. If they do so, in the future for anyone who comes in here, I will personally kill them all."
"Senior…" Qin Wentian wanted to speak but before he could add another word, the other party continued, "In any case, did those major characters from all parts of the immortal realms who came here really believe that they are truly supreme characters who can survive here? They didn't know they saw what I wanted them to see, and hear what I want them to hear. In fact, they are simply like ants whose fate I can determine with a snap of my fingers."
"Also, as for you, you are lucky that your life is truly tough. I don't even know why I allowed you to come here. Why did I allow you in here?" That old man inclined his head, and as he stared at the two gigantic stone tablets, he suddenly seemed extremely ancient at this moment.
"Senior…" Qin Wentian wanted to speak, but he was interrupted once again.
"Your cultivation speed is really too slow. Hurry up and break through. If you fail to do so within a year, you won't be so lucky any longer." That person spoke. After that, he turned about and disappeared. Qin Wentian had a look of bewilderment on his face, he completely couldn't see how the figure vanished at all. The speed was simply too fast, so fast that it was terrifying to an extreme.
"This…"
Qin Wentian was somewhat speechless. He discovered that the mysterious figure seemed to love to talk a lot. He couldn't even say anything and was constantly interrupted. Could it be because the mysterious figure had been lonely for far too long?
