Chapter 832: Battle Will
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The stone platform which Gusu Tianqi vacated, precisely belonged to one of the eighteen immortal statues at the forefront. After he vacated it, the geniuses here didn’t start an all out fight to contend for the spot unlike the stone platforms for the other immortal statues that were located more behind. In fact, nobody moved.
Because, any one of the eighteen front spots were watched by countless top-ranking geniuses ranked just behind the top three rankers of each prefecture. But even they didn’t dare to step upon it so casually because they understood that the moment someone stepped on to it, that person would become the target of a multitude of arrows.
However at this very moment, a silhouette walked up casually caring for nothing and simply stepped onto the platform.
This young man exuded a carefree aura, that was either born from supreme confidence or ignorance.
Countless gazes shot towards Qin Wentian, he could clearly sense the gazes directed at him.
But since this place is at the most forefront, containing eighteen immortal statues that could be occupied by others, why could he not do so?
If there was someone that chose to challenge him, he would tell everyone that rather than challenging him Qin Wentian, they might as well challenge the other seventeen geniuses.
In the Eastern Sage Cliff Mountain Range, the astral energy they could use was limitless. Whose advantage could be comparable to the him who had cultivated the Spiritual Refinement Method? After comprehending the ancient bell innate technique, he used the remaining time to condense all astral energy into bell-type divine energy. Hence, each and every one of his attacks would manifest so many ancient bells and all of them were filled with a might so tyrannical that all feared it, allowing him to effortlessly dominate Blackpeak despite the final eruption of strength Blackpeak unleashed.
Qin Wentian stared at the immortal statue before him. The immortal statue radiated an overwhelming battle will yet there didn’t seem to be anything special about it. Despite so, Qin Wentian could faintly sense that within this immortal statue, there was something that attracted him.
He walked closer towards the statue, contemplating it. But at this moment, the eyes of the statue seemed to stare directly at him. The eyes of the immortal statue were as vast as the starry skies and contained an incomparably terrifying will. In just an instant, Qin Wentian felt his will and perception being drawn into it.
He only felt a towering will appear. That immortal statue seemed to transform into a corporeal supreme character, standing right before him as an overwhelming battle might radiated from it, so powerful that it caused the hearts of people to shudder. Qin Wentian only felt his own will being swallowed up by this. In front of this existence he was so tiny and inconsequential.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian’s heart trembled violently as his will struggled and broke free. In just an instant, he felt cold sweat perspiring from his body.
Staring to his left and right, the other geniuses on the seventeen immortal statues platform were still closing their eyes in cultivation, completely immersed in their own inner states. Did they truly not fear the attacks from their peers? Or maybe, in front of these immortal statues, once your will connected with it, it would be extremely difficult to extricate yourself from it?
"This particular battle statue contains a kind of supremely powerful battle will. In addition, there’s also some sort of unique energy within it." Qin Wentian mused silently. At this very moment, someone spoke. "You actually dared to stand on that stone platform so calmly?"
This voice originated from somewhere behind Qin Wentian. The tone of the voice was filled with hints of sarcasm. As someone ranked #5 from the Mo Prefecture, they found it extremely hard to imagine that someone ranked #27 from the Cloud Prefecture would dare to step upon the stone platform Gusu Tianqi vacated. Not only that, even when facing the gazes of so many geniuses, Qin Wentian seemed not to care at all, his actions seemed extremely carefree and natural.
"If you want this spot, come and seize it." Qin Wentian didn’t bother to turn his head as he spoke. That tone of his was so casual, there was neither arrogance and ignorance, but seemed to truly be of immense confidence in himself.
"What do all of you think we should do?" That person who spoke earlier laughed coldly, staring at the surroundings. Many geniuses glanced at Qin Wentian, they naturally wanted this spot. This was the spot taken by Gusu Tianqi earlier and in addition, Gusu Tianqi left directly after finish comprehending this immortal statue.
"How else can we decide? Naturally the spot should belong to the strongest one." A loud voice broke the silence, the person who spoke was also a top-ranking expert and he was from the Western Desert Prefecture. His stature was imposing and burly, 3.3 meters in height and his muscles shimmered with a green light. His countenance was grotesque, and seemed akin to a monster or freak.
There were many kinds of races living in the Western Desert Prefecture. A countless number of cultivators existed there. There were people like the monk, Sorrowless, and there were even giants there. This grotesque-looking genius was also a heaven chosen from a powerful race.
"BOOM!" As the sound of his voice faded, he instantly rushed out. Although his frame was burly, his movements were extremely nimble, streaking forth like a ray of green light towards Qin Wentian. In addition, his entire body was filled with explosive might. He stretched his arm out and in an instant, the arm actually expanded. The expanded muscular arm contained a fearsome strength within, causing the entire space around it to tremble.
The spectating geniuses even felt their hearts turning cold when they sensed the burst of power shooting directly towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian stood at his original spot and didn’t even turn about. He lifted his palms and blasted out in the direction of the attack, causing a calamitous bell to manifest, smashing against the arm and shattering it. However, that genius who attacked didn’t seem to be injured the slightest. His arm returned to its normal size as he floated up in the air and stared at the back view of Qin Wentian.
"INSOLENT!" The grotesque cultivator roared in rager as eight more arms grew out of his body. Whistling sounds rang out through the air as his arms expanded and shot towards Qin Wentian. It was an extremely fearsome sight to behold.
Qin Wentian turned. With a stomp on the ground, he soared upwards into the skies. Both his palms blasted out unceasingly as the bell chimes continued endlessly. This entire space was filled with the calamitous ancient bells, circulating around Qin Wentian as he used them as long ranged weapons, blasting them out. The destructive might rocked this entire space as the eight arms filled with fearsome might were swiftly shattered apart.
"This…" The crowd felt their hearts shaking as they saw the number of calamitous bells in the air. After which they only saw Qin Wentian waving his hands, and as his violet-gold astral soul manifested, the entire atmosphere was permeated by an absolute suppressive might.
"GO!" Qin Wentian spat out in an icy tone. At this moment, the act of him waving his palms about seemed to contain within it a marvelous rhythm. The countless number of ancient bells congregated together forming, an extremely gigantic and terrifying one that blasted forth. This was even larger than the bell he used against Blackpeak.
There even seemed to be a countless number of smaller bells circulating around it. The bell chimes rocked the sky as streams of golden light blasted into the body of the grotesque cultivator. Only to hear him bellowing in rage he took on a form with three heads and six arms. Qin Wentian gestured once more with his hands, and the gigantic bell smashed down, destroying all obstacles in his path.
"BOOOM!"
The body of that grotesque cultivator directly exploded, suppressed to death by the pressure and impact. He had no way to resist Qin Wentian’s attacks in the slightest.
The fearsome bells were still present in the area. Qin Wentian indifferently swept his gaze over to everyone as he spoke, "If anyone of you feels that I, Qin, am good to bully, you can try it for yourselves. And if there’s anyone who disturbs my cultivation, his fate will be the same as that grotesque figure - death without mercy."
As the sound of his voice faded, bell chimes echoed out loudly as the gigantic bell from before dissipated. After which, he turned and continued studying the immortal statue, as though he had forgotten everything that just happened earlier. He used a single battle to tell everyone here that since the seventeen geniuses around him were able to sit securely in their spots and comprehend the inherited arts from the statues, he Qin Wentian was able to do so as well. If there’s anyone who wants to seize it, he shall kill without mercy.
This battle was an ironblood method which he used to shock all the geniuses present. Hence, Qin Wentian wasn't polite at all and used the most overwhelmingly domineering method to kill that person, giving everyone a much greater rush of impact compared to his earlier battle against Blackpeak.
There were already quite a number of geniuses at the back area of the Hundred Immortals Forest who witnessed the fight between Qin Wentian and Blackpeak. Now when they saw how domineering Qin Wentian truly could be, they could only sigh in their hearts as they confirmed the fact that within the Eastern Sage Cliff, it was better not to antagonize this man.
Sharpness flickered unceasingly in the eyes of those more powerful geniuses in the front areas. They stared at Qin Wentian as though they were contemplating over his strength, whether or not they would be able to handle him.
A violet-gold astral soul and tyrannical innate techniques. Qin Wentian’s level of danger wasn’t any lower than the others. Could it be that after waiting so long for Gusu Tianqi to vacate a spot, they had to wait for someone else again?
The fear created by this battle was evident. Nobody dared to act recklessly anymore and Qin Wentian started to immerse himself in comprehending the will emanating from the immortal statue. However, the more he comprehended, the more awe he felt.
This statue doesn’t only contain an incomparable tyrannical battle will. This kind of battle will was akin to a kind of tyrannical immortal art that could enable one to ignite a towering battle might, causing one to possess an inconceivable level of combat prowess.
Qin Wentian appeared in the void and before him, numerous terrifying wills in corporeal form appeared. These were all streams of the battle will from the immortal statue and each of them possessed unimaginable might, akin to absolute invincible war kings that stood unexcelled in this world. The number of the corporeal wills were manifested according to Qin Wentian’s level of comprehension. The deeper it was, the more streams of will would appear.
"This is so powerful." Qin Wentian faintly sensed a unique reaction from his body, it was as though after these marvelous streams of will entered his body, his own battle potential was ignited as his aura grew increasingly similar to that of the immortal statue, growing stronger and stronger.
"BOOM!" Another stream of corporeal will appeared in the void. This stream of will even had a fearsome battle halo around it, incomparably resplendent. In addition, the glow from it intensified further and further as the might it exuded got more and more fearsome.
A beam of light flashed as a gigantic character for ‘战’ (battle), appeared in the air. This character contained a towering battle might that directly gushed into Qin Wentian’s projection body. In that instant, Qin Wentian felt that he suddenly possessed the method to ignite his will. It was able to strengthen himself and heighten his combat prowess, and it felt extremely mysterious.
Furthermore, this immortal statue didn’t directly impart the battle might to him. It was more like the deeper he could comprehend, the stronger and more tyrannical the energy he would be able to inherit!
