Chapter 1918: Clash of the Supreme
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Today, the experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms gathered. The people from the many peak powers as well as experts of the Qin Clan, all saw this scene.
Qin Wentian displayed astral souls that were out of their common logic. For stellar martial cultivators, from the start to the heavenly deity realm, they would only have a limit of nine astral souls. This was an iron-clad rule. But today, someone actually displayed eleven astral souls.
He stood there and asked Heaven’s Son Qin Dangtian. If you are the chosen of the heavens, what am I?
If you really are Heaven’s Son, why would I, Qin Wentian, have eleven astral souls?
Qin Dangtian had nothing to say. The people of the world were speechless as they stared at this scene.
For experts of the Qin Clan, all of them felt extremely complicated in their hearts. A descendant of their Qin Clan actually managed to possess eleven astral souls. However, he was already standing in opposition to the Qin Clan since long ago. The grudge between them would never be settled unless one party died.
Right now, the people of the Qin Clan were even doubting if Qin Dangtian could gain victory.
If Qin Dangtian lost, what sort of situation would that be?
“No wonder you can control the Heaven Vault, seems like you must have truly understood all its secrets. Back then, the treasure your father found in the Heaven Vault must have been passed to you, right?” Qin Dangtian coldly spoke. This was also his father’s conjecture.
“Back then, the Qin Clan spared no expenses to pursue my father, not willing to spare him. Is it all because of the treasure he obtained in the Heaven Vault?” Qin Wentian replied. “Sadly, although my ancestors were from the Qin Clan, we were unable to hide from the greed of the Qin Clan. You are correct. That treasure already belongs to me. Hence, I can control the Heaven Vault.”
Right now to Qin Wentian, all his secrets on him were already not considered secrets. He monopolized the Heaven Vault and all of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms wanted to deal with him. What was divulging one more secret? What was the worst that could happen?
When Qin Zheng and the other experts from the Qin Clan heard Qin Wentian’s confirmation, their eyes gleamed with sharpness. Seems like Qin Wentian had to be captured today no matter what. He must not be allowed to leave.
“Despicable clan, because one of the descendants of the Qin Clan had a miraculous encounter and obtained a treasure, this despicable clan actually spared no expense to get it. Today in this battle, I will allow everyone in the Qin Clan to see clearly. I want to make you feel regret for everything you have done in the past. The Qin Clan will ultimately head towards the path of destruction.”
Qin Wentian slowly spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, another astral soul appeared behind him, causing the expressions of everyone to freeze again.
This was the twelfth astral soul.
How many astral souls did Qin Wentian have exactly?
“Countless?” A thought flashed through the minds of everyone. But even they themselves felt that it was ridiculous. How could this be possible?
In truth, Qin Wentian’s astral souls weren’t countless in number. He only had seventeen astral souls. After his two true-selves merged back as one, he had a total of sixteen astral souls then. After that, he formed an innate connection with the countless number of constellations in the nine heavenly layers and condensed their essences, binding them together, which allowed the tiny astral-being to transform into his seventeenth astral soul.
This was why Qin Wentian only had seventeen astral souls.
But, there was one special characteristic about the astral soul the tiny astral-being transformed into. It was able to connect with the countless constellations in the nine heavenly layers and was like a world of its own, with its own starry space and constellations within. It could transform into any constellation Qin Wentian had a connection with, and manifest an astral soul.
In other words, Qin Wentian’s seventeenth astral soul was able to transform into any type of astral souls he wanted at any moment.
This was Qin Wentian’s seventeenth astral soul, the tiny astral-being. It can be considered as one astral soul, but also billions of astral souls, containing the ability of countless transformations. Just this alone was something that was much more brilliant compared to Qin Dangtian’s Absolute Beginning Astral Soul.
At this moment, another astral soul appeared behind his back, instantly enveloping the entire world and the heavens. A terrifying blackhole that were immeasurably deep appeared. There seemed to be another dimension within.
Astral soul transforming into the dao… Evidently, Qin Wentian has fused the power of his dao with his astral soul, this was something only heavenly deities could do. Also, this astral soul was from the ninth heavenly layer, it was condensed from an extremely powerful constellation.
That time when Qin Wentian was perceiving this constellation, he stepped upon it directly and actually gained insights into the laws of different dimensions. He instantly attempted to form a connection with this and comprehend the dao.
There were simply too many extraordinary constellations in the nine heavenly layers. For example for the time-attributed astral soul in the form of the river of time he had condensed, as well as Qin Dangtian’s Absolute Beginning Astral Soul. The higher the heavenly layer, the more powerful the constellations in it would naturally be.
When Qin Wentian was gaining insights, he infused his own dao into it, creating an extremely powerful heavenly dao. It was the Dimensional Spacetime Dao.
Upon seeing this astral soul and sensing the dao might from it, Qin Zheng had a deep frown on his face. The feeling Qin Wentian gave off now was completely different from back then when Qin Wentian first broke through to the heavenly deity realm. The Qin Wentian now felt completely transformed, he was in control of his destiny and was a supreme character that seemed like the lord of all heavenly daos.
His confidence with regards to Qin Dangtian’s victory also started to waver slightly.
Right now, all that was left was to see if Qin Dangtian’s Absolute Beginning Dao might could subdue Qin Wentian or not.
During these years of cultivation, Qin Dangtian also didn’t waste time. His strongest attacking method was using his Absolute Beginning Dao. It was much stronger compared to back then when he fought Qin Wentian inside the Heaven Vault. Qin Zheng once sparred against his son Qin Dangtian. Qin Zheng knew that even some more years, his son would surely surpass him.
The eyes of everyone shone with excitement, this was then a true face-off.
Before this, everyone felt that the situation would be without suspense, Qin Dangtian would surely dominate Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was simply too impulsive. But now, they understood that Qin Wentian truly had the ability to fight against Qin Dangtian. The two most outstanding individuals of the younger generation in this era were now having a showdown in the Qin Clan.
Qin Dangtian didn’t say anything more. Right now, only victory could prove everything. Although Qin Wentian had a miraculous encounter and had more than nine astral souls, it proved nothing. The victor in this battle would still be him. Everything Qin Yuanfeng experienced back then would be experienced by Qin Wentian again.
This cycle of history wouldn’t be changed.
Numerous ancient words flew towards the Absolute Beginning Astral Soul and started to transform. A moment later, an immensely gigantic ancient word appeared. It penetrated through space and flew towards the sky. A moment later, everyone could see this boundlessly vast ancient word representing the character ‘lock.’ It’s power slammed into the dimensional world created by Qin Wentian, wanting to lock it in place, not allowing the dimensional blackhole to revolve anymore, causing the fearsome spatial storm to stop.
“The Absolute Beginning Dao contains evolutions.” Everyone silently mused. It was able to strengthen any kind of dao. Most probably, ordinary heavenly deities wouldn’t even last a single strike before Qin Dangtian.
Some heavenly deities here could only sigh at their inferiority. They could sense that if either of the two combatants were to fight them, their situations would be extremely dire. Between heavenly deities, the disparity in strength could be boundlessly great. No one knew how the these two had cultivated.
The space Qin Wentian was in kept twisting. The ancient word ‘lock’ also began to warp as its dao might diminished before fading to nothing.
“Does the Absolute Beginning Dao only have this bit of strength?” Qin Wentian mocked. Qin Dangtian’s expression was very calm. He folded gestures and even more ancient words manifested before him. After that, they flew into his Absolute Beginning Astral Soul and underwent countless evolutions, causing their power to grow increasingly stronger. A fearsome might radiated forth, Qin Dangtian appeared to be like a supreme god of battle.
He pointed his finger forward and in an instant, countless ancient words blasted out like divine seals, slamming into the dimensional blackhole, causing it to crumble. The Absolute Beginning Dao can cause all daos to return to their origin.
The divine seals blasted forth and exploded frenziedly causing the sky to shake. Everything reverted back to their original states, even the dimensional energy had to follow this law as well. It transformed back into nothingness.
In addition, these divine seals also brimmed with their own resplendent light, they were connected to the Absolute Beginning Astral Soul and had endless energy.
Qin Wentian ignored the divine seals. He stared right at Qin Dangtian and pointed his finger. In an instant, the space around Qin Wentian started to contort. His body appeared in front of Qin Dangtian and he unleashed a sword attack. This was a dimensional spacetime sword strike, capable of slicing through everything. The connection between the divine seals and Qin Dangtian was easily severed.
A terrifying blackhole appeared in Qin Wentian’s outstretched palm. This dimensional blackhole was able to devour everything. Qin Dangtian could feel a fearsome absorption wanting to draw him in.
The Absolute Beginning Astral Soul seemed to absorb some of the law energy that existed in Qin Wentian’s palm. Behind Qin Dangtian, the astral light screen formed from his astral soul actually manifested many palms with blackholes in them, wanting to devour everything in the world.
“You are copying me now?” Qin Wentian mockingly laughed, using Qin Dangtian’s earlier words against him. Qin Dangtian earlier had said that Qin Wentian was copying him but the truth has proven that Qin Wentian had so many techniques and methods. Why would he ever need to copy Qin Dangtian?
“You don’t have my astral souls or my law attributes, how can you copy me?” Qin Wentian coldly laughed. After that, an endless flood of dimensional energy rushed into the screen of astral light behind Qin Dangtian, surging into the blackholes. He wanted to see how Qin Dangtian can endure this violent rush of energy.
Although the Absolute Beginning Dao contains countless evolutions, this was something that only existed in theory. Maybe, this would be true if Qin Dangtian’s cultivation level could reach an extreme peak. But at the very least as of now, Qin Dangtian wasn’t able to do it. If not, Qin Zheng definitely wouldn’t be Qin Dangtian’s opponent.
The Absolute Beginning Dao could truly allow one to walk all the way to the end. However, it wasn’t without its flaws.
As the boundless energy flooded into the blackholes, the astral soul behind Qin Dangtian started to tremble, like it wasn’t so stable. Clearly, he didn’t have the ability to truly absorb and evolve everything!
But at this moment, Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with an extremely cold light. “This is enough to deal with you?”
As the sound of his voice faded, even more energy from him flooded into the Absolute Beginning Astral Soul as though Qin Wentian wanted to shatter it!
