Chapter 1917: Heaven’s Son?
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
“Their battle has started.”
Countless gazes stared up at the sky. Qin Wentian took the initiative to attack.
“Overestimating yourself.” Qin Dangtian’s black hair fluttered in the wind. He lifted his hand as an ancient word blasted out. The two of them seemed to be using the same kind of attacking methods.
Right now, it only depended on who is stronger.
Two streams of ancient words clashed together. Qin Wentian’s ancient words transformed into a screen of swordlight containing his spacetime sword dao. It was like a sword river of the nine heavens, capable of devouring and lacerating everything. Heavenly might brimmed, the entire space transformed into a world of swords. Countless people who were spectating inclined their heads but above them was no longer the white clouds and the blue sky. It was an extremely vast spacetime sword river that had submerged the skies.
For heavenly deities, they can produce enough power to destroy heaven and earth with the lift of a hand. Today, these people actually managed to witness a rarely seen deity-level battle.
For battles between heavenly deities, they were extremely rare even in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Only during chaotic times would such battles erupt. In normal days, heavenly deities would all be very cautious and usually wouldn’t clash with each other. Even if they did, they wouldn’t do so before the eyes of the people of the world. A chance to spectate such a battle could truly be said that it was extremely rare, maybe only once in a thousand years.
Qin Dangtian’s ancient words also erupted forth with heavenly might. They coalesced together and transformed into a boundlessly vast ‘lock’ character that spanned through the skies, wanting to lock down heaven. It clashed with the sword river of the nine heavens. Two different streams of heavenly dao might collided into each other.
Only to see that the sword river of the nine heavens started to turn ethereal. It was like the sword of the heavens wanting to lacerate everything. The ‘lock’ ancient word wanted to lock this space down but it was completely submerged by the sword river. The power of the spacetime sword might then blasted towards Qin Dangtian.
Evidently, in this first clash of ancient words, Qin Wentian was slightly superior.
This scene caused the eyes of many people to widen in shock. Qin Wentian seemed to be stronger than what they had expected. His technique of ancient words, was it really inspired by Qin Dangtian and copied from him?
The ancient words behind Qin Dangtian started to revolve. After that, numerous halos shone resplendently as the ancient words flew towards the sky. In an instant, the sword river’s momentum was halted, it had no way to advance. The sword river was completely ‘locked,’ and after that, it gradually dissipated.
Although Qin Dangtian seemed weaker during the first exchange, his expression didn’t change. He was Heaven’s Son, how could he allow an exchange of moves to affect his state of heart? At most, Qin Wentian only cause him to feel shock. Seems like Qin Wentian hasn’t wasted those years in the Heaven Vault but even so, the ending would still remain the same.
Behind Qin Wentian, numerous ancient words shot out, wanting to engulf the space around Qin Dangtian. When the power of these ancient words erupted forth, the space around Qin Dangtian seemed to be sealed. This terrifying sealing power continued flowing towards Qin Dangtian, wanting to seal his heavenly dao away.
“During these years, you have indeed improved a lot and learned many techniques.” Qin Dangtian calmly spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, the halos around him intensified and blasted out with their might, penetrating everything. Between him and Qin Wentian, there was no longer any type of energy that obstructed him. As for the terrifying might that permeated his surroundings, Qin Dangtian completely ignored that.
“However, even so, it can at most give you the qualifications to struggle one more time. In the battle back then, you had to flee for your life. But today, there is no Gods Extinction Path for you to flee into.” Qin Dangtian spoke. A moment later, his Absolute Beginning Astral Soul materialized. For a time, the light around him was incomparably resplendent as the heavenly dao in his astral soul continued to generate the strongest power.
After so many years, Qin Dangtian’s Absolute Beginning Sword Dao was naturally stronger than before. It contained unfathomable levels of might that could destroy the heavens and earth.
When the Absolute Beginning Astral Soul was unleashed to the max, the absolute beginning light from it enveloped everything. Even the ancient words revolving around Qin Wentian were also branded into the Absolute Beginning Astral Soul. After that, the astral soul seemed to be able to absorb the power from the ancient words and underwent an evolution. From within the astral soul, Qin Wentian could sense traces of his own spacetime sword dao.
“Mhm?” Qin Wentian frowned. Qin Dangtian’s Absolute Beginning Dao Might was much stronger than the past. He combined the ability of his divine barrier art into the Absolute Beginning Dao, allowing him to absorb all types of power in heaven and earth for his own usage, he could even evolve them into something stronger. This was truly a terrifying dao. As Qin Dangtian grows stronger, he would be more and more terrifying until he became invincible in the world.
“What a strong dao. Absolute Beginning, the origin of heaven and earth. Qin Dangtian wants to use this to trace the source back to ancient times, to the first ever dao that had appeared. His ambitions are exceedingly vast.” Many people mused silently. The various powerful characters from the peak powers felt wariness in their hearts. Heaven’s Son Qin Dangtian was truly an impressive character. They had to be careful of him. His future would surely be extremely terrifying.
“The spacetime sword dao you cultivate isn’t bad at all. But if I used it to defeat you, how would you feel?” Qin Dangtian spoke. Behind him, his astral soul transformed into the dao. A spacetime storm manifested and was terrifying to the extreme.
Qin Wentian stared ahead, his spacetime sword dao had evolved after inputs from Qin Dangtian’s absolute beginning dao. This was truly very powerful. Although they were fated to be mortal enemies, Qin Wentian had to admit that Qin Dangtian was truly impressive.
If Qin Dangtian wasn’t strong, how could he gain the title of Heaven’s Son?
Qin Zheng and his wife, as well as the other experts of the Qin Clan all had confident looks on their faces. Qin Dangtian would be the victor of this battle for sure, there would be no suspense. Qin Wentian actually dared to underestimate Heaven’s Son after he won against Qin Cang and Qin Li in the battle at the boundless sea region? Qin Wentian would pay a painful price for this.
“Go.” Qin Dangtian pointed his finger towards Qin Wentian. The might from the spacetime sword dao burst forth from his finger and instantly caused the skies to darken, resembling a scene from the apocalypse. Spacetime engulfed the heavens, wanting to bury Qin Wentian here, completely engulfing Qin Wentian inside the spacetime storm. This power ignored time and space because it was originally the spacetime sword dao.
“Using Qin Wentian’s dao to deal with Qin Wentian. Heaven’s Son is truly unrivalled in the world.” The people of the world sighed in admiration as they saw the spacetime sword dao burying Qin Wentian. How would Qin Wentian break this?
“Using my dao against me?” Qin Wentian stared at the attack but his expression was as calm as ever. He gently stretched out his hand and in an instant, his palm manifested a blackhole that grew larger and larger. This blackhole devoured everything, the sword might frenziedly surged forth but everything was absorbed by the blackhole in Qin Wentian’s palm and then sealed inside there. It was like Qin Wentian’s palm contained boundless space.
In the space before Qin Wentian’s palm, terrifying dao might crackled. An intense absorption might radiated forth, absorbing everything within the space of his palm.
When the spacetime dao Qin Dangtian used vanished, Qin Wentian calmly stood there and retracted his palm. The spectators below were all dumbfounded, like they didn’t dare to believe their eyes.
Qin Dangtian used the Absolute Beginning Dao to absorb Qin Wentian’s spacetime sword dao and further evolved it. However, Qin Wentian merely stretched out his hand casually, allowing him to gain absolute control over everything, directly absorbing the terrifying energy into the blackhole in his palm.
What sort of terrifying method was this?
The hearts of many people pounded. This blackhole appeared simplistic but within it, the laws of space, sealing and devouring, as well as many other attributes could be sensed.
Also, the might it displayed was mainly that of devouring. This indicated that Qin Wentian was also proficient in devouring laws. But in the rumors, there has never been any mention of this before. Everyone only knew that he was proficient in time, space, sword and seals. Why would he be proficient in the devouring laws? Something seemed off somehow.
“You want to defeat me with such a pathetic technique?” Qin Wentian calmly spoke as he stared at Qin Dangtian. “You want to use my dao against me. However, if I control ten thousand daos, how many can you absorb and evolve?”
“What a boast.” Qin Dangtian coldly replied. “In this world, who would dare to say that they control ten thousand daos? I possess the Absolute Beginning Dao and can absorb and evolve everything. My astral soul then is the root of ten thousand daos.”
“Is that so?” Qin Wentian coldly smiled. “You feel that your Absolute Beginning Dao is unique and unrivalled in the world?”
“Can you guess then what my ninth astral soul is?” Qin Wentian spoke.
“I have no interest.” Qin Dangtian coldly replied.
“Watch carefully.” Qin Wentian stated. Behind him, an astral soul appeared. Instantly, Qin Dangtian’s gaze froze. Not only for him, the experts in the Qin Clan and the other spectators all froze when they looked at that astral soul.
This astral soul was actually the same as the astral soul behind Qin Dangtian, be it in terms of aura or luster. The two astral souls were both condensed from the Absolute Beginning Constellation in the ninth heavenly layer.
Qin Dangtian’s expression stiffened. He stared at Qin Wentian and laughed coldly, “Not only did you copy my ancient words, you even copied my astral soul. Don’t tell me you are someone who cannot comprehend things for yourself?”
Everyone also had strange looks on their faces. Qin Wentian copied Qin Dangtian to this extent. In that case, how would he surpass him?
“Copying you?” Qin Wenttian laughed. After that, numerous astral souls appeared behind him. Out of the nine astral souls that he revealed, eight of them was from the eight heavenly layer and one from the nine heavenly layer. Their radiance instantly illuminated the area resplendently.
When everyone saw the nine astral souls, their hearts couldn’t help but tremble. Such an astral soul combination was truly unrivalled in the world. Although many supreme characters had astral souls from the ninth heavenly layer for their final astral souls, it was impossible for them to have all their first eight astral souls from the eighth heavenly layer. This was like something impossible to achieve yet reality was right before their eyes.
“Open your eyes and watch clearly.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. After that, his nine astral souls vanished.
However, a moment later, another astral soul appeared behind him. The eyes of countless people froze there, like they had just seen something incredible.
“Have you forgotten about my laws of devouring so fast?” Qin wentian calmly spoke. This astral soul was in the form of a blackhole, it contained the dao of devouring and was from the ninth heavenly layer.
Only now did everyone realize that Qin Wentian just displayed the laws of devouring. It was just that everyone was stunned when he revealed his astral souls earlier and had forgotten about it.
“The tenth astral soul…? How can this be possible?!” The hearts of everyone trembled. It was impossible for a stellar martial cultivator to have ten astral souls, right?
“How can this be possible?” Qin Dangtian silently mused. He stared at Qin Wentian’s astral soul, could this be a trick?
“Are you shocked? Let me intensify your shock.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. His devouring astral soul vanished but an instant later, another astral soul appeared, causing the hearts of everyone to fiercely tremble once more.
It was a completely different astral soul from the earlier ten he showed. This was his eleventh astral soul.
“Qin Dangtian. If you are Heaven’s Son, the chosen of the heavens, what am I then?” Qin Wentian calmly stated, his voice resounding through the air, entering the ears of the crowd. Heaven’s Son? Who exactly was the chosen of the heavens between them?!
