Chapter 1749: Fighting Against Lifelong
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
For the Lifelong Grand Banquet, everyone came here to attend it. They did see many major characters but they didn’t see everyone bowing to pay respect to the Lifelong Realmlord, they didn’t see the competition between the various factions between the immortal emperors, and the competition between the nine world palaces.
They came here, and what was before them was only a scene of chaos. Qin Wentian instigated four world palaces to rebel, and he also had hidden an army of empyreans. He himself also comprehended a heavenheart mandate, but no one knew for sure if he had successfully completed his breakthrough to the world overlords realm. In any case, the strength Qin Wentian erupted forth with now was much stronger compared to the time when he fought with the previous Lifire Palace Lord. He crushed everything before him with ease, wanting to replace the Lifelong Realmlord.
Qin Wentian was originally already the Lifire Palace Lord of this generation. If he could defeat and kill the Lifelong Realmlord, there was no need to doubt that he would become the new Realmlord and ascend the throne, becoming a lofty and supreme existence.
In addition, he could even change the name of the Lifelong Realm. If he ascends to the throne, the entire era would change. He could rename this realm to anything he wanted.
The battle in the air continued. The might the empyrean army exuded was seemingly unblockable but the Lifelong Realmlord also had many empyreans reporting to him. Although they were surprised by the appearance of this empyrean army earlier, they would still have the ability to fight it after they recovered. Although it wasn’t easy, the Lifelong Realm faction had already started to slowly block the advance of the Qin Wentian’s faction’s crazy attack.
The attack of the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord was extremely tyrannical. He was fighting against the Skyair Palace Lord who was the personal disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord and every attack he used was ruthless to the extreme, designed to kill. Fairy Biyue didn’t know how to describe the emotions in her heart when she saw this. Even if Huang Zhan won and she obtained freedom, so what of it? Could everything return back to the past? It was impossible, she already bore a son for the Lifelong Realmlord. In that case, wouldn’t Huang Zhan and her son become enemies?
Love, hatred, regret and passion. These were the most difficult things on earth to sever. Huang Zhan had laid low for so many years, only erupting forth today. This also required great courage.
In the air, ancient trees appeared around the Lifelong Realmlord, blotting out the sky. He was like a divinity of an ancient tree. Right now, calmness could no longer be seen in his eyes. There was only an unmasked cold killing intent. He stared at Qin Wentian, “These people should have been brought out of the ancient battlefield by you, right? No wonder you’ve comprehended a heavenheart mandate. What did you obtain in the ancient battlefield?”
“Good fortune can be found everywhere in the ancient battlefield. I’ve already told you before that there is an important matter I have to settle and it wasn’t convenient for me to return, yet you had to do such despicable acts to force me. Back then in the past, the Lifire Palace Lord died because he imprisoned Ye Qianyu to threaten me. Why must you follow in his past footsteps?” Qin Wentian coldly spoke.
“Hahaha, how could this seat be ignorant of that? If it wasn’t for the fact that you are Yi’s disciple, how could I have given you the position? Back then, I already knew of your grudge with him. After you killed the Lifire Palace Lord, I initially wanted to kill you or expel you out of the Lifelong Realm but sadly, this seat believed that Beiming Youhuang was your senior sister and out of the kindness of my heart, this seat wanted to convert both of you into my own people. Who would have thought that you two are an adulterous couple and now, you even dared to say such words to me. If I knew this would happen then, how would I have shown mercy?” The Lifelong Realmlord coldly spoke.
“Lifelong Realmlord, you are always at a lofty position and have already grown used to your invincibility. You have never cared for the feelings of others. Let me repeat this one last time, between me and Beiming Youhuang, there’s only innocence. Now that I’m standing before you, I, Qin Wentian am upright and can face the heavens, why must I lie about this fact to you? But even so, did you really think that making her as your concubine is showing her kindness? Who the hell do you think you are?” Qin Wentian mockingly spoke, “Someone despicable would naturally never admit that they are despicable. Today, you can already see that there are so many subordinates rebelling and deserting you. Could it be that I truly have such great rallying strength? All of them feel that I would win against you hence they chose to support me? The only reason is because you are a despicable person and would never truly be able to win the hearts of your subordinates, yet you still feel so self-satisfied in your own world.”
“Shut up!” The Lifelong Realmlord coldly snorted. “Since you instigated the rebellion, you should already know the consequences of failure. Not only will you die, but Beiming Youhuang and Ye Qianyu will also pay a price for their actions. Also, this seat heard that you even brought two beautiful wives back with you and they are currently staying in the Lifire Palace? After your death, this seat shall admire them properly and help you take good care of them.”
The Lifelong Realmlord clearly was already enraged and didn’t bother to control his words. Such despicable words spoken by him had clearly revealed his true nature.
“What an ugly mouth.” Qin Wentian spoke, his body radiated boundless light. Right now, it was useless to say anything more. Let the victor and the loser be determined with their battle.
“This seat will do what I’ve said.” The Lifelong Realmlord coldly spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, the ancient trees around him expanded to reach the sky. The shadows they casted could be seen all around, their vines forming a complex lock, trapping Qin Wentian in his surroundings, causing him to have no way to escape.
“KILL!” The Lifelong Realmlord coldly exclaimed. Those gigantic vines surged forth, their sharp-pointed ends were even sharper than swords. All of them rushed frenziedly at Qin Wentian, moving with incredible speed. World heart, heart’s domain. In this domain, the heavenheart mandate of the Lifelong Realmlord completely surrounded Qin Wentian. There was no escape.
Around Qin Wentian, even beneath his feet, the ancient vines manifested, wanting to bind his body.
At this moment, boundless radiance suddenly radiated from Qin Wentian. In such a fight, what was the most important was how the experts controlled their heavenheart mandates, and how strong their heavenheart mandates were exactly. Boundless light covered Qin Wentian, illuminating the ground, disintegrating everything into nothingless from the glare.
The heavenheart mandate Qin Wentian comprehended was somewhat similar to the Sun Blaze Heavenheart Mandate he encountered in the World of Ten Thousand Laws. However, his wasn’t formed from a fusion of fire and light source origins, it was formed from the source origins of light and sword, and had an addition of his own insights through his cultivation. He named his heavenheart mandate as ‘Radiance Conflagration.’
This heavenheart mandate contains an extremely terrifying penetrating might. Although he didn’t add the spatial source origins into the fusion, but given his insights into space, when he activated the Radiance Conflagration Heavenheart Mandate, everything around him would be disintegrated into the void. Even those sturdy ancient vines around him were of no exception. After that, the power of his Radiance Conflagration surge forward, disintegrating the vines, blasting towards the Lifelong Realmlord.
This was the first time he truly used a heavenheart mandate to fight against a world overlord. He also wanted to see what the disparity in strength between his heavenheart mandate and the Lifelong Realmlord’s heavenheart mandate was.
The locked space was slowly opened up by the Radiance Conflagration Heavenheart Mandate. However, an instant after they were destroyed, the ancient vines were reborn again, this cycle of destruction and creation continued anew for several cycles.
This heavenheart mandate was known as the Lifelong Heavenheart Mandate. The Lifelong Realmlord depended on this to manifest his world heart. He hoped that he would have a long life and would be able to be reborn even after his death. Not only does this heavenheart mandate have fearsome attacking prowess, it also had a shocking recovery rate. It was very similar to the source origins of wood, granting the Lifelong Realmlord huge amounts of vitality.
However, the Lifelong Realmlord didn’t feel proud of himself. At the first exchange of blows, he could already tell that Qin Wentian’s heavenheart mandate was very powerful, extremely powerful. It could actually directly destroy the power of his heavenheart mandate. Also, he sensed that Qin Wentian seemed as though he has yet to manifest his world heart. He could only use his heavenheart mandate in his attacks.
“You have yet to break through completely to the World Overlord Realm?” The Lifelong Realmlord stared at Qin Wentian.
“If I’ve broken through, I could already finish you off through that first exchange of blows. It’s just that I have no wish to be ordinary like you, only comprehending an ordinary heavenheart mandate and using that to manifest your world heart to enter the world overlord realm.” Qin Wentian spoke with pride, mocking the Lifelong Realmlord. His words caused the expression of the Lifelong Realmlord to turn extremely unsightly. “Arrogant! You wish to comprehend a transcendent heavenheart mandate and use that to manifest your world heart? How egotistical is that? I’m afraid you won’t have any chance left.”
“Although I know that I would be fighting against you, I still didn’t choose to break through to the world overlord realm completely. Could it be that you still don’t know what this means? I’ve never treated your Lifelong Realm as my opponent. You are unworthy, you will just be an ordinary world overlord which I killed before I finished my break through to the world overlord realm.” Qin Wentian’s mocking was as intense as ever. It was true that he has yet to manifest a world heart but he could do so if he wanted to do. It was just that he didn’t want an ordinary one.
There were many kinds of heavenheart mandates but there would only be a single world heart. Although it was still possible to transform it in the future, what he wanted to do first was to stabilize his foundations before he continued to develop his world heart. Back then when the Skybreak Heavenly Deity learned that Qin Wentian wanted to comprehend a heavenheart mandate first, he also misunderstood Qin Wentian. But now, that sense of disappointment had already disappeared. Qin Wentian’s ambitions were simply too great. Although he chose to comprehend a heavenheart mandate first, that was merely him wanting to try things out and get a feel of using a heavenheart mandate. He didn’t plan to manifest his world heart from this particular heavenheart mandate to enter the World Overlord Realm completely.
After tempering himself in the various secret realms. He had his own ideas on how to proceed further on his path of cultivation. The Skybreak Heavenly Deity also knew that when Qin Wentian broke through to the World Overlord Realm, he needn’t interfere in anything. He just allowed Qin Wentian to comprehend whatever he wanted and would only provide guidance occasionally.
“This world would never lack geniuses because the majority of them have already died due to arrogance.” The Lifelong Realmlord spoke again. His figure flashed, the ancient trees behind him all launched attacks towards Qin Wentian. The radiance emitting from Qin Wentian was as brilliant as ever, the power of his Radiance Conflagration Heavenheart Mandate fought back frenziedly against the Lifelong Realmlord’s heart domain, continuously destroying the vines despite them being regenerated again and again. The Lifelong Realmlord simply poured his strength into defending, channeling his powers to rejuvenate the vines, weaving an extremely strong defense.
“Go to hell.” The Lifelong Realmlord blasted his palm towards Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian made a clutching motion and the power of his heavenheart mandate burned through everything. However, those disintegrated vines didn’t vanish completely. With a wave of his hand, the Lifelong Realmlord caused dark green sap to flow out of the vines before they were disintegrated, as they covered Qin Wentian’s body.
“Rot.” The Lifelong Realmlord coldly spoke. Every mote of that green sap contained the power of corrosion. Qin Wentian’s body was being eaten away, corroded slowly by that green sap. His wounds grew larger, while the radiance from his heavenheart mandate grew brighter, trying to purify the power of the sap.
The Lifelong Realmlord coldly laughed as he stretched out his hand. A boundless amount of sticky dark green sap continued to flow towards Qin Wentian, burying him within.
What he comprehended was the Lifelong World Heart because he realized that he could regenerate all his powers, rendering them almost indestructible through the constant regeneration. For example, for his second heavenheart mandate, Rot, the dark green sap would be able to regenerate itself almost infinitely until Qin Wentian’s body was transformed into a pool of blood. Not even his bones would be left behind!
