Chapter 1462: A Storm in the City of Ancient Emperor

The Eastern Sea was boundlessly vast and was a place one must pass by before they arrived at the City of Ancient Emperors.

At this moment, at the shore of the Eastern Sea, Qin Wentian’s group appeared here. Other than them, there were also many demon kings who were traversing the sea.

“It’s rumored that only people with cultivation bases at the king or emperor realm could traverse this sea freely and enter the City of Ancient Emperors. In the past, we were sent here. This time around, we came here by ourselves. I have no idea what we would encounter.” Jun Mengchen spoke in a low voice. After that, he stepped out and started to cross the boundless sea.

Qin Wentian and the others followed. Nanfeng Yunxi and the other maidens also moved out, flying through the air above the eastern sea.

“It’s said that the City of Ancient Emperors is a separate and independent dimension within the eastern sea. If we travel high up in the air, we wouldn’t be able to see the city. Senior apprentice sister, you came here before. Is this true?” An expert from the Southern Phoenix Clan asked a peak-stage immortal king who stood at her side.

“The eastern sea is sentient and there’s a demon emperor guarding this place. For immortal kings and emperors, there would be a standalone passageway for them to enter.” The immortal king replied. After Nanfeng Yunxi made a report back to the Southern Phoenix Clan, the clan sent another batch of holy maidens here to aid her, allowing them all to enter the City of Ancient Emperors together, witnessing the birth of legends if there were any.

As they spoke, they shuttled through the air. After entering the depths of the eastern sea, the ocean waves grew more and more violent, reaching tsunami sizes, terrifying to the extreme.

“There’s someone there, they should be greater demons of the Desolate Mountains.” At this moment, they glanced towards a direction. There was a group of expert sitting on a sun chariot that shone resplendently, made from pure gold. The sun flames evaporated the ocean waves, speeding forth with tyrannical speed.

At this moment, everyone discovered it. All of them turned their gazes over and stared in that direction. When Qin Wentian and the others stared at it, they felt that they were staring at the eye of the sun itself, terrifying to the extreme.

“They are experts from the Sun Gold Race, a super-variation bloodline formed from sun crows and the golden beast race.” Qin Wentian’s eyes saw through the illusion and discerned the identities of the experts mounted on the sun chariot.

“Very powerful,” A holy maiden immortal king of the Southern Phoenix Clan spoke. These demons were overbearing and tyrannical but they did have the strength to back it up. The strength level for some of the royal-faction greater demons, were equivalent to the peak powers of the immortal realms.

The sun chariot then increased in speed, shooting through the air with shocking speed, vanishing after a few moments.

“I’m filled with anticipation. I wonder how many supreme geniuses from the peak powers and Desolate Mountain Range would be in the City of Ancient Emperors.” There actually was a spring in Jun Mengchen’s step.

“It’s best to be careful after we enter the City of Ancient Emperors. Regardless of which power they are from, the geniuses there aren’t good to antagonize. Given that this was a chaotic era, slaughters would be even more direct, there are almost no rules in there.” A holy maiden reminded.

“Mhm, I understand. In the third-level of the City of Ancient Emperors, my strength should be considered one of the weaker ones. I will pay more attention to my safety when I’m fighting or competing with others.” Jun Mengchen understood her kind intentions as he nodded.

Their group continued and finally came to that stretch of destruction which they passed by before in the past. In this area, darkness enveloped everywhere. Black-colored streaks of destruction were swirling all over, and there were powerful bolts of lightning and thunder from the dark clouds in the air, capable of collapsing everything. Everyone released their law energy to form a barrier for protection.

“We will arrive soon.” Jun Mengchen’s eyes flashed. Back then, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Emperor sent him, Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan to this place. After that, the gigantic black dragon appeared and brought them into the City of Ancient Emperors, to the level meant for Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants.

“RUMBLE!”

A terrifying bolt of thunder bore down on everyone, imbued with the might of calamity, causing their bodies to jolt so much that they trembled. As expected, if one wasn’t at the immortal king level at the very least, they would definitely die here in this region of destruction. For juniors who wished to come to the City of Ancient Emperors, they would definitely need an immortal king or emperor to escort them. Hence, for the first level of the City of Ancient Emperors, the people there were all at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and they all had extraordinary statuses.

Qin Wentian was staring at the ancient mountain peak which extended from the depths of the eastern sea all the way to the sky. Back then, Qin Wentian had once seen someone cultivating on the top of this ancient peak, borrowing the destructive energy to temper his body. Such a cultivation method was violent to the extreme, they had to endure the destructive blasts which damaged their body, in order to refine the energy for their body to grow stronger.

The rumbling sounds continued endlessly, as a windstorm that had the power to lacerate everything appeared. Nanfeng Yunxi’s cultivation base was slightly weaker. She couldn’t stand straight in these gusts of wind, and a peak-stage immortal king beside her was aiding her. Qin Wentian could also feel how terrifying the energy of this destructive storm was. Ordinary immortal kings would definitely find it hard to reach the end of this region.

“Senior holy maiden, back then it was the black dragon emperor that brought us into the city. How do immortal kings and immortal emperors enter?” Jun Mengchen asked.

“After you exit this area, an ancient path formed from laws leading to the City of Ancient Emperors would appear.” That holy maiden who came here before, replied.

Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed as he spoke, “You guys go on ahead, I will cultivate here for a period of them before I enter.”

Nanfeng Yunxi stared at Qin Wentian with concern, “This place is very dangerous, although your cultivation level is high, the destructive energy here isn’t weak at all. It would pose a great danger to you.”

It was clear she was worried for Qin Wentian. The trace of concern in her eyes caused the other holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan to be somewhat taken aback.

“Don’t worry, the energy here won’t be able to do anything to me. Take care of yourselves, fairy maidens, all of you must be more cautious after you all enter the City of Ancient Emperors.” Qin Wentian spoke. After that, he walked towards the black-colored gigantic peak. Nanfeng Yunxi started for a moment but she knew she had no way to persuade Qin Wentian. This fellow actually wanted to cultivate here.

“Senior brother, you be careful here too, we will make a move first.” Jun Mengchen silently transmitted to Qin Wentian. Only him and a few others were aware of Qin Wentian’s identity.

“You too.” Qin Wentian replied. Jun Mengchen and the others continued, disappearing swiftly within this stretch of destruction. Qin Wentian came to the top of the black peak as he sat down cross-legged. He actually gradually released the defensive force field generated by his law energy.

“BOOM!” A thunderous explosion rang out as the destructive energy instantly blasted into him. Qin Wentian groaned as his body trembled. He closed his eyes as a strand of holy will appeared. In an instant, a golden runic light sprang up and covered his body. The golden runic light was formed from the Vajra holy will. This strand of buddhic energy then circulated around his body.

The fearsome winds wanted to slice Qin Wentian apart. After each successive blast of attack, the holy will baptized and refined Qin Wentian’s body further, causing his body to glow with a faint golden light.

When he was in the Eastern Tomb, Qin Wentian had comprehended three types of holy will. The thin willow branch-like sword intent, the heavenly-suppression pagoda holy will, as well as the Vajra holy will.

The first two types were attack-based holy wills and Qin Wentian comprehended them quicker. As for the Vajra holy will, it took longer for him to gain any insights. This was a purely defensive-based holy will. Back then in the past, he killed many immortal kings from the Vajra Sect and took away their interspatial rings. From the items within, he learned of some information. This Vajra holy will was able to aid one in refining an undying body.

In this space that was colored grey by the powerful wind storms, the currents of destruction unceasingly blasted into Qin Wentian. He didn’t depend on a law energy barrier to protect him, but he chose to endure them with the help of the Vajra holy will to temper his body, wanting to refine it to an undying one. At this moment, a black bolt of lightning slammed into his head, tunnelling through his body. Qin Wentian groaned in agony as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood but he didn’t move from his original spot. He still continued sitting there, the runic light around him grew even brighter, as did that faint golden color.

After several days, Qin Wentian was slowly getting used to the endless attacks. The runic golden light was like a web around him, and his body was much tougher than before. A strand of the Vajra holy will circulated protectively around him and gradually, Qin Wentian’s body was like a treasure, gleamingly golden, resembling the body of a golden buddha.

Such a body refinement method was truly brutal to the extreme. A few months later, the golden glow from him could already illuminate the sky. There was even a faint manifestation of a dharmic idol behind him that guarded him, increasing his defense so he could continue to endure it. The Vajra holy will seemed to have been refined to become a part of his body.

Qin Wentian then opened his eyes, a golden light could be seen gleaming within. Upon standing up, his body was like a golden ancient buddha, with runes flowing around him.

“My fleshly body is becoming more perfect. Right now, just with the defense of my body alone, I can endure extremely powerful attacks. My body will naturally also boost the strength of my own attacks.” Qin Wentian mumbled. After that, his silhouette flashed as he left the black mountain peak. At this moment, he no longer depended on law energy, but the defense of his body instead, allowing the currents of destruction to slam into him. They had no more effect on him.

Qin Wentian continued to advance and finally saw a bright light in the distance. An ancient path formed from the power of laws appeared. This pathway was able to traverse the different spaces, leading to the City of Ancient Emperors.

Back then when Qin Wentian was in the City of Ancient Emperors, he already learned that there were three levels here. Different cultivation realms would be sent to different levels. The dimensions they were in were naturally different as well.

With no hesitation, Qin Wentian directly stepped onto the ancient path as he continued ahead. The spatial fluctuations could be felt as Qin Wentian continued. He could feel himself being transported through space and finally, at the very end, he stepped out and exited the ancient pathway.

The next instant, Qin Wentian was floating in the air. That step had landed him into the City of Ancient Emperors.

“BOOM!” A fearsome law energy blasted into him, forcing Qin Wentian back. His eyes flashed and stared ahead in the distance as his expression froze.

Far ahead, the silhouettes of two supremely strong and gigantic characters could be seen. One was a human, the other a demon. The demonic beast had reverted into his true form, it was a silver demon ape whose body sparkled with a silvery glow. His roar shook the sky and his attacks caused his surroundings to crumble. The person fighting with him was a human in giant form, resembling a king of hell. His body flared with inextinguishable hell flames as his law domain covered the area, forming a miniature asura hell where everything in it would be destroyed.

“This man should be an expert from the Senluo Immortal Empire, a peak power of the central regions.” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed.

He then stared in another direction only to see that there were other battles on-going, all the combatants were at the immortal king level.

A golden-colored great roc swiped out with its wing with a speed as fast as lightning. He was fighting against an immortal king with a divine bow in his hands. The immortal king glowed with a dazzling light, he let loose an arrow that broke through the void, capable of piercing everything. It actually ignored the distance and bored into the body of the golden roc. Despite the speed of the roc, that divine arrow was able to lock on to him. The golden roc could only use brute force to destroy the arrow.

“Golden-winged roc of the roc race, versus a supreme expert from the Shooting Sun Immortal Empire.”

Qin Wentian stared at that battle. There were many others spectating too. With a flash of his silhouette, he landed on the ground and came to the side of a female immortal king. He then asked, “What is going on here?”

“You should have just entered the city via the path of laws, right?” The female immortal king glanced at Qin Wentian as she smiled. “Right now in the city, such combat would occur many times throughout the day. With the geniuses here being as many as the clouds, all of them are keen to find out if they could stand at the pinnacle of their respective cultivation levels. If they could do so, they would undoubtedly become one of the candidates that might be an ancient emperor in the future. All ordinary immortal kings could only be mere spectators.”
