Chapter 2007: Divine Eye
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Che Hou inclined his head, when he saw the divine formation in the air being destroyed, his eyes became extremely cold.
“I didn’t expect your understanding of your dao to reach such a realm. I was born from seizing good fortune from the heavens. To think that my attacks are actually neutralized so easily.” Che Hou seemed to be muttering to himself. When his gaze turned to Qin Wentian again, the coldness within grew in intensity. It felt like that was a beam of killing light emitting from his eyes, wanting to pierce through Qin Wentian.
However, Qin Wentian’s eyes were as terrifying as well. He glanced back, causing space and time to distort. How could he possibly be injured by the killing intent of divine weapons unleashed through a gaze alone?
“However I, who was born from seizing good fortune from the heavens, clearly possess the root of the Great Dao. Do you know what is the ultimate dao?” Che Hou stared at Qin Wentian, his voice filled with his killing intent. It was like their fight earlier was just an appetizer. He has yet to unleash his true strength.
“No matter what dao it is, it isn’t qualified enough to make you so arrogant.” Qin Wentian calmly replied.
Che Hou laughed, but his laughter sounded extremely frosty.
“Chaos was the beginning of everything, the progenitor of the myriad of daos. I seized good fortune from the heavens and just like what you said, indeed, it’s true that I didn’t comprehend any dao deeply. However, the dao I gained comprehension of is that of chaos. Chaos is the beginning of everything, the true root of all grand daos. When all the daos are in the presence of chaos, how can they unleash their might?” Che Hou coldly laughed at Qin Wentian. After that, a golden-colored aura exuding disgust radiated from his body. This aura gradually enveloped the surrounding space, causing everything here to fall into a chaotic state.
Che Hou opened his mouth and breathed out chaotic flames, wanting to burn through all living things, causing utter destruction. The cloudy golden mist that was the chaotic aura caused more divine weapons to manifest as they shot towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian suddenly felt the airflow in his surroundings was out of his control. Under the chaotic flames, cracking sounds could be heard as everything in his surroundings was incinerated. After that, that chaotic aura enveloped him, wanting to destroy him along with his dao as well.
“Reverse.” Qin Wentian activated his spacetime dao art. However, within this stretch of chaos, the space and time here were no longer under his control. Chaos was the progenitor of all daos. The dao of spacetime had no way to reverse the dao of chaos. Qin Wentian narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat bewildered. He didn’t expect Che Hou to be skilled in the dao of chaos.
“This isn’t the true grand dao of chaos.” Qin Wentian mused silently. Chaos was the beginning of everything. If this truly was the grand dao of chaos, it would easily be able to disintegrate him. If that was the case, Che Hou wouldn’t be an existence with the power of an ordinary godking. If he possessed the true grand dao of chaos, he would be at the pinnacle among godkings or even surpass them. The grand dao of chaos was a true ultimate dao.
But even though that was not the true chaos dao, when the new Che Hou was born from seizing fortune from the heavens, what he gained control over could be named as a false chaos dao that contained a hint of power from the true grand dao of chaos. It was extremely tyrannical and had the might to destroy daos as well.
Qin Wentian brandished his sword. His sword qi surged into the chaotic aura, wanting to exterminate the divine flames. At this instant, millions of sword qi strands manifested around him, permeating the area with his sword qi. Such an amount of sword qi could tear the sky apart, yet it actually had no way to do anything to the chaos energy here. In addition, the divine weapons manifested by Che Hou continued shooting out, with a different dao imbued in each of the weapons. It felt like an attack that contained a multitude of daos that were unleashed together. Che Hou’s attacks formed a chaos vortex that could devour all energy and was unblockable.
A pair of terrifying eyes suddenly appeared behind Qin Wentian. His eyes gleamed with a divine glow that could pierce through everything. In the sky, among the nine heavenly layers, a pair of heavenly divine eyes descended.
“Halt.” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. The divine eyes descending from the sky and the pair of eyes behind him simultaneously cast their gazes on the divine weapons in the chaos vortex. In the next instant, the chaos vortex actually stopped spinning. This power was already not solely from his mastery of spacetime dao.
Che Hou inclined head and looked up at the sky. He furrowed his brows. Qin Wentian actually caused a pair of divine eyes to descend from the nine heavenly layers. The pressure from the divine eyes bore down on his false chaos dao. It felt immensely powerful. At this moment, it was like Qin Wentian was one with the heavens. That constellation that birthed the divine eyes merged together completely with him, becoming a part of Qin Wentian’s strength.
When the light from the divine eyes landed on Che Hou, Qin Wentian’s eyes also stared at Che Hou. In this instant, Che Hou’s body seemed to freeze. He felt an extremely powerful sealing energy that wanted to seal this space and time, as well as his life.
However, Che Hou could still move his hand. He pointed at Qin Wentian, the look in his eyes was cold to the extreme as he spoke, “Your dao is unable to seal me.”
“Is that so?” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. The light radiating from the divine eyes grew even more resplendent, casting their gaze onto Che Hou. In that instant, Che Hou felt his soul being immobilized, sealed within the gaze. He was no longer able to move.
“I’m something that a divine weapon transformed into. How would I have a soul?” Che Hou coldly spoke, like he was mumbling to himself.
“Since you took on human form, you became fully sentient and are a living thing. All living things would naturally have a soul, you are no exception. If not, you would be nothing more than a zombie, and wouldn’t be capable of thought.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. His words shook Che Hou. Che Hou’s body trembled violently as he tried to break free but no matter how much he struggled, he could still feel the pressure immobilizing him.
“I am a divine weapon, where did my soul come from?” Che Hou roared coldly, desiring to break free from the great dao and leave the domain of the divine eyes.
“Even divine weapons have their weapon souls. Divine weapons would be immobilized as well.” Qin Wentian replied in a glacial tone. The heavenly divine eyes was another superstrong dao Qin Wentian cultivated. It was an evolution of his sealing dao including his insights into the other daos and when it’s cultivated to the peak, it could seal all manifestations of the grand daos. This dao generated incredible divine might and could be said to be heaven-defying, containing boundless power.
And this was precisely the case. The heavenly divine eyes sought to seal Che Hou’s soul. If a divine weapon has no soul, it would just be an ownerless object, easily manipulated and controlled by others. Whoever grabbed it would be its owner.
“Seems like I still have underestimated you.” Che Hou coldly spoke. He didn’t expect that after over ten years, Qin Wentian’s dao was already so strong to this extent, capable of contending against his false chaos dao and he himself who was born by seizing good fortune from the heavens.
Qin Wentian with a body of flesh and blood was fighting against him who had fused with the ultimate divine weapon. This so-called number one genius of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms truly lived up to his reputation.
“I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to kill you even when we fought today.” Che Hou’s body suddenly began to emit an immense amount of sharpness. His entire body became a divine weapon and hummed loudly. The power of the myriad of daos erupted from this human-form divine weapon, causing the sealing energy binding him to suffer cracks. After that, the light from the heavenly divine eyes grew weaker by a little as a lightning bolt broke the sealing effect. Che Hou then shot out from the domain like a shooting star, like he was never within the domain before.
Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at that vanishing beam of light that Che Hou transformed into. He furrowed his brows, he actually had no way to stop Che Hou from fleeing. Despite his current cultivation, he still couldn’t stop Che Hou. The debt of revenge he had to claim for the members of his Qin Heavenly Divine Sect had to be postponed for now. Che Hou would surely be a source of great trouble in the future. Che Hou was simply too powerful, a truly terrifying character.
Spacetime twisted, Qin Wentian vanished from this area. In the next instant, he returned to the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect and everyone saw his safe return, they all revealed a relaxed expression, the worry in their hearts also faded away. All of them saw clearly how powerful Che Hou was. If something happened to Qin Wentian, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Senior brother.” Jun Mengchen stepped out and looked at Qin Wentian.
“This Che Hou was created by seizing good fortune from the heavens, he has control over a shadow of the grand dao of true chaos. I have no way to stop him from fleeing.” Qin Wentian spoke softly.
“I didn’t expect your divine eyes to actually fail in making him stay. Seems like in the near future, chaos would reign once more in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” Qin Yuanfeng sighed. During these years, he would often discuss the dao with Qin Wentian. He naturally knew how strong his son currently was. The divine eyes would summon the constellation to appear, and the power of the constellation would merge together with the user, employing heavenly might to immobilize a target. The target would feel his soul being sealed and wouldn’t be able to extricate himself.
This was a way to apply his insights into the fusion of the dao of sealing and the dao of spacetime while borrowing the boundless might from the required constellation.
“Now that he has left, he is sure to be a source of future trouble. Like Yue Changkong, our Heaven Vault has gained another powerful enemy.” Qin Wentian sighed again. He really didn’t expect a new version of Che Hou would emerge all of a sudden and transformed into an existence that was so powerful to the extent where he could even threaten the Heaven Vault.
“We will deal with whatever comes our way. You should still focus on your cultivation and breakthrough your current limits. If you can reach that final step, even if the eight ancient godkings return, what can they do?” Qin Yuanfeng exuded a heroic air. Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. His father was right. All cultivators in the world were in pursuit of transcendence. If he truly could transcend the nine heavens, even if it was that godking in the western paradise or Godking Gu and Moon God joining forces to attack him, what could they do against him?
Naturally, if the other parties transcended first. Things were the same, he wouldn’t be able to do anything against them. That day would be the day of apocalypse for the Heaven Vault!
