Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1209: Strike of Destruction

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The protection of the demon god had shattered and despite the tyrannical gigantic palm attacks, they were unable to do anything to Huang Shatian. Huang Shatian’s aura didn’t seem to be affected. Right now, he was a human emperor, a supreme human emperor with a nine-emperor glow surrounding his body. Boundless law energy radiated from him, it was like his body had become a body of laws and the closer one got to him, the strong the pressure from his domain would be.

Right now, killing Huang Shatian would be tougher than ascending the heavens.

As to why it was so tough to kill immortal kings, it was because their bodies had reached a the pinnacle of strength.

Huang Shatian could now control a trace of immortal-king might. That, and in addition to his body strength, was enough to make him an invincible force in the immortal-foundation realm.

Before this he had already demonstrated it by effortlessly capturing Qing`er. No one had been able to block him.

The demonic gleam in Qin Wentian’s eyes was so abnormal that it caused fear in the hearts of everyone. He stretched out his hands and boundless energy converged, fusing the power of the God’s Hand and the Art of Truth together. Huang Shatian has already come into contact with the gate leading to the immortal king realm, so Qin Wentian could be considered to be at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation base and comprehension of laws.

However, when it came to innate techniques, Qin Wentian was extremely confident that his proficiency was a notch higher compared to Huang Shatian. In addition, the eruption of his bloodline power caused all the power of his attribute energies to evolve into another level. If his current opponent wasn’t Huang Shatian, but was instead some other ninth-level immortal, he could easily crush them. For example, Huang Wudi, who he had effortlessly captured.

"BOOM!" The God’s Hand blasted out, manifesting a countless number of runes that rained down from the sky. They were all runes of destruction and suppression, radiating a might powerful enough to bury the entire space and raze this place to the ground. Bodies of flesh and blood would easily be ripped apart under that might.

However, the person facing that attack, was none other than Huang Shatian.

He who was like a human emperor was actually radiating a nine-color glow that fused together with each other, exhibiting countless transformations. Lifting his finger, he stabbed out in the air as he channelled boundless force from his immortal-foundation. In an instant, nine manifestations of human emperors lunged out, each wielding a golden emperor sword imbued with the power of space, and they stabbed upwards at that gigantic palm.

Huang Shatian didn’t even glance at the aftermath. He continued walking forward, exuding an untold confidence in himself. When the nine human emperors used the emperor swords, they actually managed to slice apart the gigantic palm. Chaotic currents ravaged the area, causing the hearts of the distant spectators to tremble with fear.

Qin Wentian normally gave the impression that he was someone with an impregnable defense. It was as though no one would be able to break his layers of protection. Huang Shatian’s attack grew even more violent, filled with an indomitable force. Qin Wentian might be strong but how could Huang Shatian be inferior? He was a supreme genius from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, one of the most outstanding cultivators from this generation. He was also one of the top few who stood at the true pinnacle of the sacred academy, a lofty figure ranked in the Supreme Might Rankings.

The Battle Saint Tribe, the Southern Phoenix Clan, Qing`er, and Mo Qingcheng were all nervously watching this battle. When they saw Huang Shatian’s strength, their hearts couldn’t help but pound worriedly. Qin Wentian’s strength had far exceeded their expectations but Huang Shatian’s strength had done so as well. Given Huang Shatian’s aura of invincibility, could Qin Wentian truly stop him?

In truth, to many people in the academy, when they saw the domineering strengths of both Qin Wentian and Huang Shatian, they were already extremely shocked. Even the monk Buyu didn’t have such strength. And before this, no one else had believed that Qin Wentian would be able to fight against Huang Shatian. All of them assumed that he wasn’t qualified, despite the fact that Qin Wentian was also someone on the Supreme Might Rankings.

But after igniting the power of his bloodline, Qin Wentian’s strength had increased exponentially. He could truly go up against Huang Shatian, who now found it difficult to kill Qin Wentian with ease.

However, as Huang Shatian relentlessly closed the distance between them, they still thought that the victor of this match would undoubtedly be Huang Shatian.

Regardless of how powerful Qin Wentian’s bloodline was, that ultimately wasn’t a strength built from his comprehension of laws and cultivation base. Despite its formidable potential, Qin Wentian wouldn’t truly be able to control such power. He could only use that to reinforce his current strength.

Huang Shatian stared at Qin Wentian and his gaze was as calm as before. He could sense how tyrannical Qin Wentian’s defenses were and knew instantly that long-ranged combat wasn’t an option. Unless he fought at close quarters, all his powerful innate techniques wouldn’t have an opening to completely demolish Qin Wentian. With Qin Wentian’s current state, he could only use the method with the brute force to directly break through his defenses.

At this moment, on the top of Huang Shatian’s perfect immortal-foundation, a divine glow radiated, forming a connection with the heavens as a supreme might enveloped the area. Above Qin Wentian, numerous gigantic human emperors descended. They didn’t attack Qin Wentian, but positioned themselves around him, taking control of the surrounding space.

The nine human emperors from before were now shimmering with golden spatial energy, transforming into a formless barrier which sealed this entire space with Qin Wentian in the center of it.

"Kill!" Huang Shatian spoke a single word and at the same time, all the silhouettes of human emperors surrounding Qin Wentian began to shoot out streams of golden killing rays, wanting to shatter the space they covered.

But at the same time, the most dazzling light emitted from Qin Wentian’s immortal-foundation. His immortal-foundation was undergoing a transformation, which took on Qin Wentian’s shape as a towering demonic might gushed forth from within. Blood-colored demon shadows appeared all around; a demonic dragon, a great roc, a Xuanwu, a divine elephant, and many others. All of them radiated a tremendous destructive potential. Their presence served as anchors against the enemy’s might, suppressing the destruction of space around Qin Wentian. After that, they unleashed their own attacks, aiming for the nine human emperors manifested by Huang Shatian.

His immortal-foundation glowed with a golden light, manifesting numerous ancient words. At the same time, terrifying destructive ancient halberds appeared and stabbed forth with overwhelming might.

"Is this the power of a perfect immortal-foundation?"

The experts in the academy all felt their hearts shaking when they saw this scene. Both Huang Shatian and Qin Wentian had a perfect saint-grade immortal-foundation. Right now, just using the power of their immortal-foundations was already enough to unleash such might that it caused their hearts to shudder. Everyone here had an immortal-foundation, but they had never expected that an immortal-foundation could be capable of such power.

This should be the extreme limits of power at the very peak of immortal-foundation.

"You made use of the power of your bloodline to incite the transformation of your body and immortal-foundation, causing yourself to become a war beast in human form. It might have explosively increased your combat prowess to another level, but you have to understand that no matter how strong you are, there’s always a limit. Your limit is destined to stop at the peak of immortal-foundation because of your inferior comprehension for laws. So long as you lack this comprehension, you will never break past your barriers. And hence, you’ll never be able to kill me.

Huang Shatian stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. "Despite your bloodline power as well as the elementary body of laws you currently possess, I’m a true peak immortal-foundation character. At my current level, I’m able to break past the limits but you can only meet with failure. Hence today, you are fated to die here."

Qin Wentian didn’t expect that Huang Shatian would say these words so abruptly and at this timing. All of them understood that no matter the amount of words spoken, nothing would shake their hearts. Both of them possessed an incomparable conviction, wanting nothing less than to kill their opponents.

"Cultivation is truly a miraculous thing. To think that even a war beast in human form would exist among the geniuses of the academy as well. I have to say that if you were at the ninth-level, I probably wouldn’t be your opponent. This is why I’m saying so much to you. I suddenly feel pity for you because only now do I truly recognize your strength and potential. But sadly, this is as far as you can grow. This place shall be your burial ground, and I can only feel regret that I’m about to lose a worthy opponent."

Huang Shatian’s voice sounded rueful. If one wanted to stand at the peak, they naturally had to fight against some extremely terrifying geniuses. Qin Wentian was very suitable to be his opponent, and he was reluctant to kill off a worthy opponent so soon—when faced with a monstrous rival, only then would he find the motivation to continue improving further.

If this world had no one who could contend against each other, it would truly be a sad day for those on the martial path. With no competition, how can one advance?

To all the spectators, their hearts were filled with shock. The supreme human emperor Huang Shatian actually spoke words of regret and pity after confronting Qin Wentian, acknowledging Qin Wentian’s talent and strength. In fact, he even admitted that if Qin Wentian was at the peak of immortal-foundation, even he himself wouldn’t be Qin Wentian’s opponent.

However, everyone understood that Huang Shatian’s words were the truth. Qin Wentian used the domineering power of his bloodline to ignite his strength to a certain extreme, even slightly surpassing the peak of immortal-foundation. Hence, Qin Wentian who was in this state would definitely be able to take down any ninth-level immortal-foundation experts who had yet to glimpse the gate leading to the immortal-king realm.

However, Huang Shatian was already determined. The ending of this battle wouldn’t change.

Qin Wentian also nodded at Huang Shatian’s words. He knew that Huang Shatian was speaking nothing but the truth.

Huang Shatian then moved, appearing in front of Qin Wentian with a single step. The might of laws around him was fully unleashed Nine silhouettes of human emperors appeared above his immortal foundation and with a wave of his hand, his entire body was cloaked in boundless emperor light. Pointing out with his finger, the human emperor silhouettes all lunged towards Qin Wentian.

This strike of his contained the full essence of all of Huang Shatian’s killing techniques. From the eyes of the spectators, it seemed that Qin Wentian was truly about to be destroyed.

The demon god protection appeared once more, together with the phantom of the divine turtle. Qin Wentian let out a bellow of rage, as numerous demonic beasts rushed out to meet the attack. However, as the silhouettes of the human emperors neared him, the layers of his defenses were shattered bit by bit. This entire space was covered by a supreme destructive might that was powerful enough to kill any immortal-foundation character.

This strike of Huang Shatian had the power to claim Qin Wentian’s life!
