Chapter 980: Zi Daoyang Fleeing in Defeat

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“How tyrannical!”

The spectators all felt their hearts trembling as they watched on. Qin Wentian was simply too tyrannical, and this was true even if his opponent was Zi Daoyang, #1 ranker in the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

Zi Daoyang once said that even if Qin Wentian were to break through to the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon, he still wouldn?t be his match. Qin Wentian?s domineering reply?now that he?s at the ninth level, he wasn?t someone Zi Daoyang could afford to provoke. How tyrannical was that?

The experts from the Violet Sect had solemn expressions as they watched this battle.

Was the legend of the #1 ranker going to be destroyed today?

The surrounding spectators all had sharp countenances as they stared unmovingly at the battlefield. This was a fight at the very peak of the City of Ancient Emperors. Was the position of the #1 ranker going to shift owners?

“Too powerful… Qin Wentian has already mastered Emperor Yi?s secret art ?God?s Hand? to an unbelievable level. That long spear seems to be condensed from killing-type divine inscriptions. Although that stab appeared simple, it was actually powered by a fearsome rune formation. Every single one of its attacks has the power to shake the heavens. Zi Daoyang?s inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor was already considered very powerful, but after coming face to face with the God?s Hand, it still ended up being suppressed.”

Everyone?s hearts shuddered. Zi Daoyang?s reflection art had gradually been shattered. Those floating ancient bells continued their endless attacks, while the numerous demonic beasts violently rampaged everything. Even his Thousand Autumns Emperor Art couldn?t withstand such a frenzied attack. Every time the reflective runes converged, they were shattered apart an instant later. Qin Wentian didn?t plan on giving Zi Daoyang any room to breathe.

“GET LOST!” Zi Daoyang roared in rage. The violet divinity was superimposed on Zi Daoyang?s figure. It felt like a violet immortal had just descended, and he blasted out with his palms to destroy everything. Rumbling explosive sounds rang out relentlessly, Qin Wentian?s aura grew increasingly stronger as his body expanded once more. His long spear also grew in size, stabbing out with world-shaking might and he pierced through the body of the violet immortal, resulting in another explosion. Regardless of what power Zi Daoyang unleashed, it was unable to block Qin Wentian?s attack.

“Zi Daoyang, is that all your strength amounts to?” Qin Wentian?s entire body radiated a divine glow. He was like an unrivaled battle god, capable of utter devastation.

The #1 ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings had actually been humiliated with the phrase, ?Is that all your strength amounts to??!

With another flash of intense light, Qin Wentian activated the immortal battle art. It was unknown how terrifying Qin Wentian was in that moment.

His body generated vast waves of might, akin to having an immortal physique. His skin, muscles, flesh, and bones all contained boundless strength that circulated frenziedly within his body. It infused itself into the heaven-shaking spear, which pierced towards Zi Daoyang?s body.

puchi… That long spear penetrated past the screen of light and stabbed into Zi Daoyang. Zi Daoyang roared in anger, materializing a violet shield, but it was instantly destroyed by Qin Wentian?s spear. Zi Daoyang wasn?t strong enough to obstruct his spear attack.

“This…”

“Is Zi Daoyang going to be defeated?”

“Qin Wentian?s strength has actually reached such a tyrannical degree.”

Everyone felt shivers down their spines, the absolute might within the spear blasted into Zi Daoyang as the violet protective light shattered apart. Zi Daoyang coughed out fresh blood and was flung through the air from the powerful impact, towards the direction of experts from the Violet Sect. He was blasted back at a speed that caused the hearts of everyone spectating to tremble in terror.

?BOOM BOOM BOOM!? Many of the Violet Sect?s experts joined hands and caught hold of Zi Daoyang. Zi Daoyang was completely pale. Fresh blood kept seeping out of his mouth, and his outer robes were completely torn, revealing a thin, violet inner-shirt that had no signs of damage. Despite the power of that spear, the violet shirt was left without a blemish on it.

Suddenly, the violet shirt shimmered with runic light, containing so much power that those who?d witnessed it trembled.

“Immortal-ranked weapon. That?s a powerful, immortal-ranked, defensive-type weapon. Although it cannot completely neutralize the force of the attack, it still managed to shave off most of the damage. But even so, Zi Daoyang is still so seriously injured, to the point of narrowly dying.”

“The immortal sense of the Violet Emperor manifested.”

At that moment, a supreme silhouette appeared, containing a fearsome imposingness. But the instant he materialized, the law energy from the sky immediately thundered down and enveloped him completely.

“Insolence!” The Violet Emperor inclined his head and roared. He lifted his palms, and actually tried to fight against the law energy of the City of Ancient Emperors. However, before he could do anything, the burst of law energy intensified and completely enveloped his immortal sense, destroying it amidst the Violet Emperor?s howls of anger.

“How terrifying, the immortal sense of a peak immortal emperor was destroyed just like that!” someone exclaimed. The Violet Emperor?s immortal sense had been destroyed the instant it manifested.

“If he didn?t have that immortal-ranked violet shirt protecting him, that strike would have already cost him his life. The battle has ended with Zi Daoyang?s loss.”

“Zi Daoyang, ranked first in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, was defeated by Qin Wentian.”

At that instant, the surrounding spectators had a multitude of thoughts flashing through their minds. Their hearts were all shaking. From the beginning until the end, Qin Wentian had never been at a disadvantage in this battle. In fact, he?d been the one initiating the exchange of blows every time. Zi Daoyang simply wasn?t a match for him.

It was just as Qin Wentian had said. Now that he was at the ninth level, Zi Daoyang couldn?t afford to antagonize him.

Qin Wentian used strength to prove his words were right. Zi Daoyang truly couldn?t afford to offend him.

For this battle, Qin Wentian had domineeringly proved his worth. In the past, he was always passive and was even hunted by people only because his cultivation level was low. Now that his cultivation level had caught up, even the #1 ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings had been defeated by him. Who else could still contend for supremacy against him?

After this battle, the position of the first rank would undergo a shift.

“Qin Wentian.” Everyone?s eyes were all on that supreme silhouette standing in the air. The City of Ancient Emperor would always remember his name. Among all the experts that had come to this place to temper themselves, being able to rank first in the Immortal Ascension Rankings was undoubtedly an indication of how high his talent was.

The expressions on the experts of the Violet Sect were extremely complicated. They had always felt proud to be part of the Violet Sect because their sect leader, Zi Daoyang, was the undisputed number-one expert in the City of Ancient Emperors.

In here, Zi Daoyang was an invincible legend. But now, this legend had been broken by someone who?d recently entered the City of Ancient Emperors.

Xiao Lengyue looked like she couldn?t accept the truth of what she was seeing. Her body was trembling, and she stared at the defeated Zi Daoyang with an expression of intense disbelief etched on her face. How could this be possible? How could this happen? Qin Wentian had actually defeated her Daoyang gege. In that case, everything that happened in the past was nothing more than sarcastic mockery.

Only the experts from the Qin Sect wore expressions of excitement on their faces. Their eyes gleamed with sharpness, and they took pride in the fact that they participated in this battle. Qin Wentian had not disappointed them.

“Ranked first in the Immortal Ascension Rankings?” Jun Mengchen mocked. “Zi Daoyang, in the past it was only because our cultivation bases were still not at the ninth level. You, who were ranked as number one, have such a low level of talent. As for the woman beside you, she?s even more ridiculous, calling you Daoyang gege here and there. Annoying to the max. Did you truly believe you were invincible under the heavens? That you could easily defeat my senior brother? But what?s the end result now?”

Zi Daoyang was speechless. Xiao Lengyue was speechless as well. They both had nothing to say to that.

The winners had become the king, while the losers were vilified. The end result of the battle was much more persuasive than any words one could utter. If Zi Daoyang had won, the only things remaining for Qin Wentian would be disdain and humiliation. But since Qin Wentian did win, Zi Daoyang was knocked down from his divine pedestal. He no longer shone as brilliantly as before, and he now had to face many looks of contempt.

Zi Daoyang coughed out even more blood. He took out a medicinal pill and threw it into his mouth. Tilting his head, he stared straight at Qin Wentian as a terrifying coldness flickered in his eyes.

“You don?t need to look at me in this manner. You brought this humiliation on yourself.” Qin Wentian said softly when he saw the coldness in Zi Daoyang?s eyes. “How arrogant were you before? Do you still remember the first time you appeared before me? How lofty and high-up you were then? Unexcelled in this world. Ranking first in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, with an arrogance that knew no bounds, having no one in your eyes at all. Think about it. The amount of arrogance you had back then should be equal to the amount of misery you feel now that you are defeated.”

“Your arrogance depended on your unrivaled strength in the City of Ancient Emperors. But now, that halo of invincibility has already been plundered away by me. Before me, Zi Daoyang, what do you even count for?” Qin Wentian stepped out, his voice thundering through the heavens and earth?his words pierced directly into Zi Daoyang?s heart.

What did Zi Daoyang count for before him?

His earlier arrogance was nothing but a joke now that he?d been defeated by Qin Wentian. If he wanted to cleanse away his humiliation, he would have to defeat Qin Wentian with his own strength. But until that day happened, he would always remain a joke in the eyes of the geniuses of the City of Ancient Emperors. And if he continued to use his identity – that of the Violet Emperor?s son – to continue to dominate others, his actions would be even more ridiculous.

One?s identity could bestow many things upon you. But if your personal strength was weak, and you depended on your father for everything, that identity would be nothing but a disgrace. A true genius would surely hold such actions in contempt.

?BOOM!? Qin Wentian took another step forward, causing the space to vibrate. Xiao Lengyue?s countenance stiffened, “What are you trying to do?!”

“The battle has yet to end.” Qin Wentian brandished a long spear as he spoke, his countenance ice-cold. His long spear erupted forth, becoming 100 meters in size, and obliterated everything as it stabbed at Zi Daoyang?s head.

The experts of the Violet Sect all retreated. Although they had chosen to follow Zi Daoyang, this was a battle Zi Daoyang had to fight alone. So now that he was defeated, he had to settle everything himself.

A runic talisman appeared in Zi Daoyang?s hand. It flared with a brilliant light and with a wave of his hand, the runic light enveloped him completely. He then coldly spoke, “Qin Wentian, I will remember this humiliation today. In the future, I shall pay you back ten-fold.”

As the sound of his voice faded, a beam of violet light shot into the skies as Zi Daoyang vanished from sight. As the son of Violet Emperor, it was evident that Zi Daoyang would naturally have many treasures on him. Qin Wentian knew this point well. He watched on calmly as Zi Daoyang disappeared from sight. It truly wasn?t easy to kill someone with an identity like Zi Daoyang!
