The aura from Nanfeng Yunxi was extremely cold. However, in spite of this, the terrifying divine flames around her were not.

The other geniuses had also discovered Nanfeng Yunxi?s presence. They abruptly turned as their expressions changed, filled with fear and trepidation. Their auras gushed forth wildly, yet Nanfeng Yunxi didn?t seem to have noticed at all. A brilliant light started to radiate from her; the resplendent flames so crimson that they were akin to blood, and had a strange beauty to them.

Nanfeng Yunxi pointed her finger forward again. The brilliant crimson flames shuttled through the air, taking the form of a blazingly sharp wing that sliced out with absolute power. The arm of a genius was slashed off, while the other geniuses all attacked simultaneously in an attempt to stave off her attack. While all this was going on, no one was blocking Zi Daoyang anymore, and he was getting closer and closer to one of the two open positions for the inheritance.

It felt as though it was already certain that the top ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, Zi Daoyang, would surely be one of the nine inheritors. As for the remaining geniuses, they could only struggle and contend against each other for the remaining spot.

Nanfeng Yunxi slaughtered her way through, her movements concise, causing all the geniuses here to feel a sense of extreme danger.

All top three rankers of the Immortal Ascension Rankings were here. Among them, the #2-ranker had already been sitting securely in his position for an unknown amount of time. Most probably, he would soon finish comprehending his portion of the inheritance. And after the #1-ranker Zi Daoyang secured a position, who else still could stand against the #3-ranker, Nanfeng Yunxi?

Qin Wentian frowned. Was that really Nanfeng Yunxi?

“Nanfeng!” Qin Wentian called as he dashed towards Nanfeng Yunxi. Qing`er following closely behind.

Nanfeng Yunxi was currently fighting against the other geniuses, killing them without a break, and had no time to bother with Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian and Qing`er, who were the furthest at the back, were ignored by everyone else. That, in addition Qing`er?s spatial energy aiding their path, the two of them managed to get closer and closer to Nanfeng Yunxi.

puchi… Nanfeng Yunxi suddenly turned her eyes their way, directly slashing out another attack. She was now targeting Qin Wentian and Qing`er. At that moment, when Qin Wentian saw her eyes flicker with extreme coldness, he could tell that it lacked any luster of emotion. As he looked further within, Qin Wentian could see another pair of eyes that filled him with a sense of familiarity.

?bang!? The energy from Qing`er and Nanfeng Yunxi?s attacks collided together.

“It?s you!” Qin Wentian suddenly understood who the person before them was. This wasn?t Nanfeng Yunxi at all. It was the female apparition who they?d previously encountered when they first stepped foot into the Underworld Mountains. She possessed a mysterious power; the ability to possess the bodies of others. Right now, Qin Wentian had a very strong feeling that this mysterious female was the one possessing Nanfeng Yunxi, intending to use her body to seize a position for the inheritance.

Qin Wentian was suddenly seized by a bizarre thought. Could it be that the person who leaked the news regarding the Brahma Heavenly Emperor?s inheritance had been none other than her?

Attracting all the geniuses to this Underworld Mountains, plotting to seize the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. Considering all possible leads, only this female apparition-like existence could have spread the news. Mo Xie was still deep in comprehension, he had no way to leave this place at all. How could he have informed anyone else?

“Qing`er, I need to get closer to her,” said Qin Wentian. Qing`er didn?t say anything, she directly blasted out with a void fist, tearing apart space. Nanfeng Yunxi?s cold eyes turned in her direction, and pointed out with another finger. Instantly, the entire space between them was filled with a blazing redness, as wings of flames slashed over endlessly to tear them apart.

“Quickly launch attacks to restrain her!” Qin Wentian roared to the other geniuses. However, how could they be bothered with this? All of them were rushing towards the remaining position ahead, exerting all their effort to get to it. As for Nanfeng Yunxi, she was now distracted and held back by Qing`er and Qin Wentian. She couldn?t interfere with their wish of seizing the inheritance, hence nobody would bother to attack her.

Upon seeing this, Qin Wentian stiffened. He knew that it was hopeless to count on these people. But there was no way for him to allow the female apparition possessing Nanfeng Yunxi to seize the inheritance.

If this mysterious female obtained the inheritance, Nanfeng Yunxi would probably no longer be Nanfeng Yunxi. That mysterious female would surely occupy her body forever to use as a medium to gain comprehension of the inheritance. The true Nanfeng Yunxi would disappear forever, and in the future, Little Rascal and her would be enemies standing on opposite sides. This was something Qin Wentian was unwilling to see.

“Qing`er, just delay her.” Qin Wentian suddenly changed his strategy. His body expanded as he blasted out with his palms. Golden figures of suppression descended from the sky, falling around Nanfeng Yunxi, cutting off her path to advance.

The coldness in Nanfeng Yunxi?s eyes were bone-chilling, glaring hatefully at Qin Wentian. She tried her best, thinking of all possible methods to obtain the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. Now that the inheritance was right before her, Qin Wentian had spoiled it for her once again. How could she not feel anger and hostility?

?bzz! ? A towering ring of crimson light erupted forth from Nanfeng Yunxi, sweeping across the heavens and earth. Nanfeng Yunxi?s bloodline was thrumming with power as incomparably resplendent phoenix wings took form behind her back. With a powerful motion, her wings slashed forward, as if to tear apart this entire space.

Qing`er calmly stared at the incoming attack, her long hair fluttering in the wind. Both her palms blasted out in a frenzy, manifesting the Immortal Slaying Diagram which transformed into a vortex, swallowing the entirety of power in Nanfeng Yunxi?s attack.

“Qing`er, let?s leave.” Qin Wentian glanced ahead, and upon seeing that the situation had reached a conclusion, there was no need for them to continue this fight. This mysterious female wouldn?t be able to obtain the inheritance, and she would surely return to her original body. There was no longer any meaning for her to possess Nanfeng Yunxi.

Given the unique abilities of this mysterious female, she was strong enough to effortlessly possess someone like Nanfeng Yunxi. There basically wouldn?t be anyone in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm capable of standing against her. Only Qin Wentian, with the power of his bloodline, was able to cause a threat to the mysterious female.

Qing`er punched out, her Immortal Slaying Diagram shooting forward as she and Qin Wentian chose to retreat. Nanfeng Yunxi defended against their strike, but didn?t try to pursue them. She turned back to the inheritance position, but when she saw the situation, she couldn?t help but turn pale.

Zi Daoyang had already succeeded. And as for the last open spot, it was snatched by the demonic bird, Zhan Peng. Zhan Peng?s entire body was riddled with injuries, and was in an extremely miserable state. Rightbefore he leaped onto the inheritance diagram, Xu Ruxue?s whip lashed out mercilessly on his body. The terrifying long whip tore apart his flesh, leaving behind deep, bloody wounds. However, he didn?t even utter a cry of pain, and took that last step with his iron will and persistence. Although his origins were that of an ordinary demonic bird species, he had a few extraordinary aspects to his character.

“ARGH!” Nanfeng Yunxi let out a long scream filled with incomparable anger. Wrath could be seen painted on her features, and that sharp coldness in her eyes caused chills in the hearts of the surrounding geniuses. They stared at Nanfeng Yunxi in disbelief, this #3-ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings was releasing an inconceivably terrifying pressure. Her rage could make them feel fear from the depths of their souls.

However, there were many others whose hearts were also filled with denial for this outcome, and they continued to head towards the position Zhan Peng took, wanting to toss him off the diagram and take his place. But the instant Zhan Peng sat down on the diagram, a cage of light enveloped him completely. The attacks of these geniuses were all blocked by that barrier, unable to cause any threat to Zhan Peng.

Upon seeing this scene, wild excitement flashed in Zhan Peng?s eyes. He?d finally obtained it. Amidst the chaotic fighting, he?d finally obtained a portion of an inheritance. He would surely enjoy a meteoric rise from now on, slaying the sovereigns of the sky, becoming an existence that surpassed the birds of divinities.

Qin Wentian and Qing`er chose to silently depart instead. Since Little Rascal had his own good fortune, Qin Wentian naturally wished the best for him from the bottom of his heart. However, the enemies Little Rascal would soon face were all extremely terrifying. Just these three people here… the 7th ranked Zhan Peng, 2nd ranked Mo Xie and 1st ranked Zi Daoyang; they were all extremely powerful individuals. In addition, there were five more who obtained the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor long before this. Nobody knew who they were, or what cultivation levels they possessed.

The two of them returned back to the area prior to entering the cavern. The eight immortal emperors no longer exuded their auras, and had returned to their wooden coffins. It was as though they had never even risen. Qin Wentian naturally wouldn?t disturb their rest. He continued heading outside, and at the moment he exited, he saw that mysterious gray-robed old man standing there with his back facing them. This lonely-looking silhouette of the old man seemed to be fused with the gray aura of death radiating from this location. It was like the old man was the supreme ruler of this place. If Qin Wentian hadn?t personally seen the statue of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor, he might even have assumed that this old man was the Brahma Heavenly Emperor himself.

Qin Wentian?s eyes were filled with bewilderment. Who was this mysterious old man exactly?

“Everything has concluded,” the gray-robed old man murmured. The nine positions of the inheritance have now received a successor.. It was as though his mission in life had been completed.

“I think I recall something.” It looked like the old man was talking to himself, and his back was still facing Qin Wentian and Qing`er.

“This place is where the Brahma Heavenly Emperor left his inheritance in. He divided his inheritance into nine portions, wanting the nine successors to fight each other. Once all nine portions of the inheritance are comprehended, the nine successors will all sense it,” that old man continued in a low voice. He stared right ahead, and he stretched out his hand, pointing forward, “Not only do I recall the Brahma Heavenly Emperor, I also remember who ?he? was. Back then, when the Brahma Heavenly Emperor?s name shook the immortal realms, he slew eight immortal emperors in a single battle, tyrannically dominating all those who challenged him, and granting each of them their death. In this world, who didn?t fear and revere him?”

The mysterious gray-robed old man seemed to grow more and more agitated. He pointed to the other location on the right, the one radiating the pure golden aura of kings and emperors as he spoke, “Only he… Only he could contend against the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. He was a true supreme character; he fought against the Brahma Heavenly Emperor alone and even managed to imprison him here. Such a character, there has never been anyone like him in the entirety of the immortal realm?s existence…”
