In this vast space, Qin Wentian faced everyone here. More than 50% of the major powers of the immortal realms were currently gathered. He had never seen such a large group of experts before. Among these people, any one of them was a character powerful enough to rule an area in the immortal realms.
But now, all of them actually gathered here. Not only that, the vast majority were people who wanted to kill him.
“Everyone really looks up to me, Qin Wentian.” Qin Wentian seemed to be praising himself but his words were the truth. For him, so many experts were actually mobilized. They truly looked up to him.
“So, your death is inevitable. You can die with no grievance.” The Senluo Immortal Emperor coldly spoke. As the person who could kill the son he doted on the most, the Yama King, one could very well see how high Qin Wentian’s talent was. However, an enemy was an enemy, he wouldn’t feel any admiration.
“I really can die with no grievance, it’s just that I still feel reluctance in my heart.” Qin Wentian laughed carefreely. “Given how vast the immortal realms are, how many geniuses rose to the top in different eras? Which of them didn’t step upon countless bones to ascend? Everyone, if you take a step back, you can assume that those I killed were nothing but my stepping stones. But even so, I only acted against them because they first had killing intent towards me. If I had the chance to turn back time, I would kill them again. Maybe because of the situation now which caused so many experts to gather in the City of Ancient Emperors, the number of people I killed naturally increased as well. This might be what led to this situation today.
“However, why did those people die while I remain alive? There’s only one reason. They were all inferior to me, that’s the reason why they died. If not, I would be the one who died instead.” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. He then continued, “I initially had the chance to wipe out all of your forces in the City of Ancient Emperors, but I didn’t do so because I don’t wish to implicate others. Sadly, despite so, you guys still tried to implicate the people around me in order to kill me.”
“Have you finished speaking?” The Violet Emperor coldly spoke.
“Violet Emperor, since I’m standing here, I already have no plans to leave this place alive. It’s just that I’m laughing because you, as a peak-stage immortal emperor, actually has such a small and narrow heart. In the past, Zi Daoyang didn’t die in my hands but you wanted to implicate me to vent your anger. If not for that, there wouldn’t be a grudge between us and Zi Daolong need not have died as well. I might be the person who killed Zi Daolong, but you, as his father, was the starting cause of why he died.”
Qin Wentian impolitely spoke, his words causing the expression of the Violet Emperor to turn even more ugly as his killing intent surged.
“Since you know you will die for sure, what’s the point of saying such things?” The Violet Emperor icily spoke.
“I only want to tell everyone that after my death, all grudges should dissipate into thin air. There better be no other implications to my kin or close friends or although I might have died, I still have many seniors and good friends in the immortal realms who would pay close attention to all of your descendants and juniors. Unless your clans die out, you guys better consider things properly on their behalf.”
“You want to reset everything to zero after you die? Fine, I will agree. I originally had no grudge with the Evergreen Immortal Empire. If you die, everything will end with it.” The Senluo Immortal Emperor spoke. Qin Wentian wanted to use his life to resolve this storm. He didn’t wish that after his death, the Violet Emperor, Eastern Sage, or the Skymist Immortal Emperor would continue to act against the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
Many of the major powers had no objections to this. They were wary of the revenge from the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the Southern Phoenix Clan and the other major powers allied with them. It would truly be a headache to face that. After all, it was impossible to protect their descendants every moment.
To many people, they only wanted to kill Qin Wentian.
However, the expressions of the Skymist Immortal Emperor and the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor were incredibly unsightly to behold. Qin Wentian actually wanted to settle everything with his death alone?
The Skymist Immortal Emperor would never agree to this. He had to take revenge against the White Emperor for destroying his Skymist Immortal Empire.
Naturally, there was no way the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would agree as well.
“You can die now.” The Senluo Immortal Emperor coldly spoke. Although he came for revenge, he was still the lord of the Senluo Immortal Empire and a peak-stage immortal emperor. It wouldn’t be too glorious if he personally killed Qin Wentian. Since Qin Wentian understood that he would die no matter what today, just let him commit suicide.
Qin Wentian turned his head and glanced at Mo Qingcheng, before returning his glance to Qing`er, as a smile appeared in his eyes.
“Why…?” Qing`er was still mumbling to herself. Why did Qin Wentian have to show up? Why must it be this way? Why did he ask for her hand now and want her to live on to wait for him?
Qin Wentian smile at Qing`er, but the more radiant his smile was, the more pain Qing`er felt in her heart. Finally, she saw Qin Wentian turning around as a terrifying aura gushed from his body.
“Silly fellow.” A sigh rang out. A hand placed on Qin Wentian’s shoulder. Qin Wentian stared at the Evergreen Immortal Emperor in puzzlement only to see the Evergreen Immortal Emperor saying, “You are already considered half my son. These people killed my citizens and surrounded my empire, how can I sit aside and watch you die? Hence, although I know it’s unwise to start a war, I still have to fight.”
As he spoke, terrifying rumbling sounds echoed as the Ancient Evergreen Tree appeared, shining resplendently, as its branches extended out in all directions, merging as one with the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.
“Your majesty, you have already promised me to look after Qing`er.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice.
“At this moment, if I refuse to participate, I wouldn’t be able to face you, I wouldn’t be able to face Qing`er. However, don’t worry. If we can’t stop them from killing you, I won’t seek death. Fighting now, is just my attitude.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor then turned his gaze to everyone, “Earlier, since my son-in-law already spoken. I shall comply with his wishes. After this war if Qin Wentian dies, all grudges shall be scrubbed clean. You guys can kill me in this war, or I will kill you all. After this war, everything shall be reset to zero. Don’t forget that the White Emperor is still out there.”
“Well spoken, fighting now is an attitude indeed. Since the Evergreen Immortal Emperor put it this way, I, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, shall participate as well and seek guidance from the immortal emperors of the immortal realms.” The phoenix matriarch laughed. She didn’t expect the Evergreen Immortal Emperor to stand out at this moment when Qin Wentian was willing to die.
But just like what the Evergreen Immortal Emperor has said, fighting was an attitude. Hence, she, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, decided to participate in this war as well.
The Southern Phoenix Matriarch brought her divine phoenix for this. Unless the people here ganged up on her and attacked en masse, she definitely wouldn’t die here.
“Very well.” The experts from the Ying Clan laughed. The Southern Phoenix Clan wanted to participate. Even if all grudges were scrubbed clean due to Qin Wentian’s death, their participation would undoubtedly cause a crack. In the chaotic immortal realms, less and less major powers would be willing to become friends with the Southern Phoenix Clan. More would be their enemies instead.
Their Ying Clan naturally hoped that the Southern Phoenix Clan would participate more in the war. It would be best if things blew up as large as possible.
“Ants trying to shake a tree.” The Senluo Immortal Emperor sinisterly stated.
“I’m here too.” The voice of Matriarch Ji drifted over, but the expressions of all the experts here didn’t change much. They long expected that there would be others who obstructed them.
“Our Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect will naturally be participating as well.” Bai Wuya calmly spoke. Jun Mengchen, who stood beside him, had both his fists clenched. Although the hope was slim, there was at least still a tiny chance.
The Heavenly Talisman Realm didn’t give the go-ahead to participate. But even so, they still had four emperors on their side supporting Qin Wentian.
Nanfeng Yunxi succeeded as well. The Southern Phoenix Matriarch brought a divine phoenix along and would personally participate.
“Awooo~” From afar, Little Rascal howled at the old heaven-devouring beast. Purgatory’s beautiful eyes were staring at him pleadingly too. However, the nine-headed heaven-devouring beast shook his head, “Too weak. We are far from strong enough. If I participate, I naturally can protect myself from death. But do you really think that things would end just like that if he dies? Qin Wentian has offended too many greater demon races, if I participate now, they would definitely seize opportunities to attack me in the future. I still want to watch you mature and grow up.”
In another location, Bai Qing wiped away her tears, staring unblinkingly at the powerful devil cultivator in front of her. Her beautiful eyes had boundless anticipation, awaiting his answer.
“If I don’t agree, you would probably hate the Judiciary Devil Hall immensely, right? Forget it, there’s nothing our devil mountain would be afraid of.” As he spoke, that devil cultivator stepped out and said, “Count us in.”
The surroundings experts felt bewildered, even the devil cultivators from the Myriad Devil Islands wanted to join? Wasn’t Qin Wentian’s reputation a little too great?
“Our Myriad Ancient Devil Hall will join in as well.” Bujie announced loudly. The devil emperors stared in astonishment at Bujie, but all of them soon had bitter smiles on their faces and had no choice but to step out. They merely agreed to come here for a look and would help out only if there was a chance to, but they didn’t agree to participate directly. However, this Bujie directly announced that they would join the battle. Could they say that a disciple from their devil hall shouted the wrong words now? If they did so, it would truly be too shameful. This wasn’t the attitude devil cultivators should have.
Not far from them, another expert walked out silently. However, what made Bujie surprised was that this man was actually from the Apostle Devil Hall. Could it be they were helping due to the fact that Qin Wentian had the Myriad Devil Sovereign’s inheritance?
Of the devil mountain, three out of the six supreme devil halls decided to participate, causing many to feel shocked in their hearts. Huang Shatian, who was in the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire faction, was the clearest regarding this. He stared at Qin Wentian while sighing in his heart. It was unknown whether he was sighing at Qin Wentian’s talent or the fact that such an outstanding genius like Qin Wentian would die soon.
“Sir Qin has fate with our Askheart Temple. Since our fates are joined, we still have to do something for him.” A powerful immortal emperor from the Askheart Temple walked out, gleaming with a bright buddhic light.
“Who?” At this moment, the Senluo Immortal Emperor, and the demon emperor from the phoeroc race inclined their heads and stare in the air. A resplendent light flashed as a silhouette could be seen standing there with an ancient bow in his hands.
“Emperor Yu.” The Violet Emperor’s expression turned cold.
“I was the servant for Ancient Emperor Yi. Qin Wentian is his successor, how can I allow you guys to bully him like this? Evergreen might have made an agreement with you guys, but I have always been all alone. If Qin Wentian dies here today, I shall slay any of the descendants from all your clans everytime I come across one.” Emperor Yu bluntly spoke, his words causing the expressions of many experts to turn ugly. This was what they were most troubled over. The threat of a peak-stage immortal emperor was too great.
“Things are getting interesting.” A expert from the Jiang Clan among the spectators laughed. He didn’t expect there were actually so many experts who would be willing to fight for Qin Wentian. Before this, everyone had guessed wrongly. There was no comparison between this war and the one that happened against the Evergreen Immortal Empire back then.
For that war, the maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan had participated. But this time around, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch brought her divine phoenix along to participate.
For this war, three supreme devil halls from the Myriad Devil Islands would participate, there were also the monks from the Askheart Temple.
With such powerful factions here fighting for him, one couldn’t help but to be impressed with Qin Wentian. But even so, there were over ten major powers who wanted to kill him. Those factions that wanted to protect him were naturally still inferior in comparison.
This, was why the entire immortal realms felt that Qin Wentian would surely die. The factions who wanted to kill him were too strong, so overwhelmingly strong that it struck despair in the hearts of everyone.
Qin Wentian glanced at the battlefield. Those who wished to kill him and those who fought for him, as well as though who were in the shadows, waiting to collect the benefits after both sides wounded each other. He glanced at all of these people, committing their faces to his memory.
But at this moment, who would have thought that this war would be a foreshadowing for the future of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms?
This moment would be recorded in the annals of history. Even countless years later, it would be something everyone discussed enthusiastically!
