Chapter 2004: Divine Weapons Falling from the Sky
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
In the Boundless Sea Region where the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect was located, it was like a divine empire built above the seas. The current divine sect was no longer the divine sect of the past.
Back then when the Qin Clan was destroyed, Qin Wentian led his army of deities to the Prison God Clan. The various hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms all chose to flee, not daring to battle, and in the end, they submitted to Yue Changkong. From then on, the status of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms already became transcendent. During these tens of years, there were endless streams of experts joining the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. The criteria for joining was extremely strict, and core disciples were able to join the various branches of the divine sect. Only the core disciples would have the qualifications to enter the Heaven Vault freely for their cultivation. Also, for those people who were willing to give their lives to defend the Heaven Vault back then, Qin Wentian also allowed them to enter the Heaven Vault.
The various branches would naturally cause many heavenly deities to appear. However, the exact figure was only known by the people of the Heaven Vault. The disciples of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect also only knew the tip of the iceberg.
The Qin Heavenly Divine Sect governs Boundless City. Now, Boundless City has long become the territory of the divine sect, the people there were filled with respect and worship for the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect.
Because of the calmness during these years, the experts from the various regions of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms gathered in Boundless City, admiring the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. There were people who also wanted to join the divine sect. In any case, Boundless City was incomparably lively.
All the inns and restaurants in the city were filled to the brim throughout the year as the people there discussed about the current situation of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
On the streets, countless experts could be seen walking around.
The skies today were very clear but all of a sudden, a sharp whistling sound rang out. Many people inclined their heads and stared upwards, a golden light that was even more brilliant than the sun shone blindingly, causing the people on the streets to be unable to open their eyes.
“What is that?” At this moment, more and more people glanced upwards. The light grew increasingly resplendent, causing piercing pain to the eyes of everyone. Terrifying whistling sounds rang out unceasingly as a divine glow colored the sky.
“Divine weapons, divine weapons falling from the sky. The hearts of many people trembled. Numerous waves of heavenly might radiated forth, those beams of light were actually divine weapons, raining down from the sky like shooting stars. Finally, a thunderous boom echoed out as the ground was shattered from the impact. Many people screamed as a radius of ten thousand miles instantly became flat ground. Just the aftershock alone claimed the lives of countless innocents.
RUMBLE~ Thunderous noises rang out unceasingly. A terrifying earthquake unfolded in Boundless City, terrifying to the extreme.
“Divine weapons, divine weapons falling from the sky.” Countless people let out screams of madness. This might be a calamity where countless people lost their lives but it was also a great fortune. Divine weapons were falling from the sky into Boundless City, this naturally drew the madness of people. It was a calamity for the weak, but the stronger ones were excited as they rushed towards the location the divine weapons were falling. These were true divine weapons, divine weapons used by deities. They had the power to destroy heaven and earth. If they could obtain these divine weapons, they would be able to sense the power of the heavenly dao within and could even greatly increase their strength.
In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, only heavenly deities were qualified to wield such high-level divine weapons. And now, these ordinary experts actually had a chance to obtain such weapons. How could they not go crazy?
However, how could it be so easy to obtain these divine weapons? After the weapons landed, they radiated dao might, forming a zone where experts below the deity level couldn’t even enter. If they forcefully moved nearer, there would be a danger to their lives.
“Great changes have happened to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Now, was the heavens changing too? It would actually rain divine weapons.” An old man in Boundless City inclined his head and stared at the sky as he sighed. His cultivation was strong, he was at the elite world overlord level but even so, he had no way to obtain any of the weapons. Hence, he could only sigh.
For the divine weapons on the ground, there were divine swords, divine halberds…all sorts of weaponry. No one knew what was the reason and where did these divine weapons come from. Other than the heavens, who else could be so impressive?
Since such a huge commotion occurred in Boundless City, the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect in the Boundless Sea Region was naturally aware too.
There were instantly experts from the divine sect who came to investigate. After that, they sent the news back to the divine sect, then to the Heaven Vault. The members from the upper echelons of all branches received the news and all of them felt that something was wrong. Hence, they sent out an order for heavenly deities to move out to check things out.
For those experts from the various sects that joined Qin Wentian before, the Myriad Devil Islands, Battle Saint Tribe, Southern Phoenix Clan, etc, their leaders Bai Qing, Qi Yu, Southern Phoenix matriarch and the others had long entered the deity realm. During these years, there were other heavenly deities being born as well. They went out from the Heaven Vault to probe this incident in Boundless City.
Divine weapons falling from the sky, although this was a wondrous matter, it didn’t shock Qin Wentian. Currently, the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect was one of the grand factions in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. It couldn’t possibly be Qin Wentian handling everything, right? Only when the various branches are unable to solve the problem would they inform him. If not, what’s the point of having so many deities?
Heavenly deities were considered peak-tier existences that could establish their own hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. It was only because the era has changed and many deities were born in the Heaven Vault, in addition to godkings appearing, and existences like Qin Yuanfeng nearing the power of godkings which made heavenly deities not so conspicuous.
Nanfeng Yunxi and Nanfeng Shengge of the Southern Phoenix Clan went out together, they flew to Boundless City to investigate. The deities of the other branches also came as well. All of them sent out their divine sense and enveloped Boundless City. After that, they flew towards the location of a divine weapon. This divine weapon was a divine sword, it shone resplendently and had the ability to slice the void, containing immense power.
A heavenly deity from Matriarch Ji’s branch walked out. She unleashed a powerful spatial dao art and grabbed out. A moment later, the divine sword hummed and flew into her hands.
“There’s nothing strange about it.” She spoke.
“Let’s disperse then and bring the divine weapons away. Although there’s nothing strange about them, it’s better for us to be careful in case of unforeseen events.” Nanfeng Yunxi spoke. Everyone nodded respectively, they were still very respectful of Nanfeng Yunxi and the others from the Southern Phoenix Clan. After all, they were Qin Wentian’s good friends who would share life and death with him, fighting side-by-side since the past. They had the qualifications to stay in the floating palace where Qin Wentian resides and could meet Qin Wentian anytime they wanted.
Right now, Qin Wentian wasn’t someone whom people could meet even if they felt like it.
The various deities then went to the different locations and collected the divine weapons in Boundless City, preparing to bring them away. Although they didn’t know where these divine weapons came from, the people of Boundless City wouldn’t be able to take them. If the divine weapons remained here, they would only cause chaos.
At this moment, a powerful devil cultivator from the Myriad Devil Islands held a divine spear in his hands. He was preparing to return but at this moment, the spear suddenly gleamed with a brilliant light and twisted around his arm, wrapping around him slowly. He frowned and looked down as his arm. A powerful might radiated from him, wanting to break free. But in the next moment, the terrifying light from the weapon directly assimilated his arm, making his arm a part of the weapon. Not only that, the light was still continuing to spread through his body.
“No good!” His heart trembled as he roared loudly, “Quickly toss away the weapons!”
This voice was like thunder from a clear sky. The deities from the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect instantly heard his voice. They lowered their heads and looked at the divine weapons in their hands, all of them discovered that their hands holding on to the weapons have turned into a golden color. In just an instant, their hands no longer belonged to themselves, they were already a part of the divine weapon they held.
Nanfeng Shengge also took a divine sword. Her arm turned golden, becoming a part of that sword.
“Sever your arm!” Nanfeng Yunxi who was at the side shouted out. Nanfeng Shengge’s expression froze, she didn’t hesitate and instantly swung her other arm out in a chop, severing her arm that held the divine weapon. Fresh blood flowed out instantly, the light from the divine weapon flared and flowed forth to envelope Nanfeng Shengge body. Nanfeng Yunxi’s figure flashed as she pulled Nanfeng Shengge and sped away.
“Are you alright?” Nanfeng Yunxi looked at Nanfeng Shengge’s severed arm. Right now, Nanfeng Shengge was using her energy to rejuvenate her arm. She shook her head lightly. Her beautiful eyes changed as she sent out her divine sense to envelop Boundless City. Many of the heavenly deities weren’t as lucky as her. Right now, their bodies have already been completely assimilated by the divine weapons they held. Their bodies turned golden and the divine weapons have disappeared, melding into their bodies, becoming them.
Nanfeng Yunxi naturally saw this scene as well. She knew that this unknown enemy wasn’t something they could contend against anymore. She pulled Nanfeng Shengge as they sped rapidly towards the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect.
In the airspace of Boundless City, numerous golden bodies appeared. Behind them, there were still many divine weapons. These golden bodies were none other than the deities from the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. Right now, their eyes were gleaming with an intense coldness, as cold and emotionless as a weapon.
“This…” The people of Boundless City stared at the sky as their hearts pounded violently. What was going on? Was this a trap set by someone? How fearsome was this?
Those heavenly deities also sped towards the direction of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect while the divine weapons behind them hummed loudly, causing the entire city below to vibrate. A powerful pressure bore down on everyone, the stifling atmosphere was so heavy that no one even dared to breathe loudly.
Nanfeng Yunxi and Nanfeng Shengge’s speed was extremely fast, and given the fact that Boundless City borders on the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, they soon retreated into the sect and informed the other experts, activating the protective divine formations which created a screen of light that enveloped the entire sect.
The Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden in the sect were shocked. They turned their gazes outside and saw the terrifying scene. Numerous golden-colored heavenly deities stood outside the sect, their eyes filled with the emotionless aspects of machinery, there were even divine weapons following behind them.
“The Che Clan?” The Qiankun Sect Leader spoke in a low voice. The Che Clan was once the number one artificer aristocrat clan in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. These divine weapons reminded him of the Che Clan.
At this moment, the faces of those heavenly deities outside all changed to the appearance of one person.
“Che Hou.” The Qiankun Sect Leader’s eyes gleamed with sharpness when he saw this. The Che Clan Leader came to the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect like how he told the people of the world he would be coming.
In addition, he was actually able to assimilate so many deities, using divine weapons to possess them. Such a heaven-defying method was something Che Hou wasn’t capable of in the past. The current him was so much more terrifying than before!
