Chapter 1454 - Collapse of the Eastern Tomb
Chapter 1454: Collapse of the Eastern Tomb
But as the chaotic rumbling intensified, the patience of all the experts ran out. One of those powerful immortal kings who didn’t manage to perceive anything suddenly spoke, “Since this place is crumbling, why don’t we take away the Holy Book and shift the stone tablets away? I will move this stone tablet away first.”
As the sound of his voice faded, he moved towards a stone tablet that he was looking at. But at this moment, that stone tablet suddenly released a terrifying holy will as a bright light flashed. That person screamed but his head was directly pierced through by a beam, as he died instantly.
The people from the remnant powers coldly laughed. If things were so simple, everything inside here would have already been moved away. What a foolish person, not knowing the immensity of the heavens and earth.
As time flowed by, more and more people were unable to remain calm. Under the chaotic rumblings, the sound of explosions grew more and more intense as the Eastern Tomb shook violently. The people remaining here were all unable to calm their hearts down to comprehend.
Qin Wentian continued to focus, the light around him grew more radiant and the shape of a small pagoda could be seen shimmering in and out of existence. The Great Dao had no form, laws could be of any shape. This was Qin Wentian’s comprehension. His body circulated suppressive might and a very tiny pagoda finally appeared behind him. Although it was small, it contained a fearsome suppressive holy will that made it so that no one was able to get near him.
Feng Qingxue drew in a deep breath when she saw the change in Qin Wentian’s aura. At this moment, a thunderous boom rang out as the holy will in the tiny pagoda released an extremely suppressive pressure, forming a resonance with the holy will of that stone tablet.
“Earlier, the four emperors from the Eastern Tomb’s Remnants all borrowed the power of the Eastern Tomb to summon their divine weapons. Are they doing what I just did?” Qin Wentian glanced at Feng Qianxue as he asked.
Feng Qianxue’s face was filled with shock. She stared at Qin Wentian, she didn’t expect that this thing, which only sect leaders were able to do, would also be accomplished by him.
But now, she was growing numb, getting used to the fact that Qin Wentian himself was just like a miracle that would constantly topple her understanding. Regardless of combat prowess or talent, he is extraordinarily high, far above the rest.
“It’s said that weapons like this are known as sage weapons, but they have to depend on a huge amount of holy will. Without sufficient holy will as support, they are unable to unleash their power. If the Eastern Tomb really collapses, the power of the sage weapons would definitely be diminished by a great deal.” Feng Qianxue sighed. If the Eastern Tomb continued existing, given Qin Wentian’s talent, he might have the potential to open up another branch of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple in the immortal realms in the future.
“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded. The rumbling sounds in the surroundings continued. He glanced at the stone tablets as he sighed. What a pity, there were truly many wondrous things in the vast immortal realms. After all, through the passage of countless years, the immortal realms had given birth to too many powerful experts. It would naturally contain many profound mysteries and secrets. The Eastern Tomb was precisely such a place.
There were also other ancient ruins but usually, only those fated ones would be able to find these ruins. A very good example was this, if the Blackmetal Sword Emperor didn’t choose to break out from the Eastern Tomb forcefully, Qin Wentian would have never even entered this place.
“The Eastern Tomb will collapse soon. Brother Qin, many people here want to kill you, including some of those peak-stage immortal kings. They will definitely not spare us, we should leave now.” Feng Qianxue transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian. The Blackmetal Sword Emperor already announced the disbanding of the sect. Given that their enemies were people from the Sacred Sun Sect, Thunder God Hall, as well as the other three remnant powers, it should be impossible for them to fight head-on.
“You are right, but now, the majority of their attention is fixed on me. You guys should silently leave this place, I will serve as a bait to lure them away.” Qin Wentian replied, causing Feng Qianxue’s beautiful eyes to flash with a strange light. She then continued, “No, how can you face them alone? Wouldn’t you d...?”
“By remaining behind, you guys won’t be of any help to me. It’s better for you two to leave so I can fight without worries. Although I might not be able to defeat them all alone, I will still be able to flee. Qianxue, don’t hesitate anymore, leave this place with haste.” Qin Wentian seriously spoke.
Feng Qianxue was speechless. Truly, if a fight really broke out, she and her brother Feng Zhu wouldn’t to be able to provide any help and might even become a burden, affecting Qin Wentian.
Before this, it was Qin Wentian who carried them through the battles, winning the one versus three and finishing Fa Nu off.
“Since this is the case, we will bid our farewell then. Brother Qin, please take care.” Feng Qianxue was also a decisive individual. She knew that what Qin Wentian said was the truth. She immediately prepared to leave.
Feng Zhu also transmitted his voice over, “Brother Qin, I hope I would still be able to witness your magnificence in the future.”
“Let’s meet again if fate decrees.” The three of them nodded to each other as Feng Qianxue and Feng Zhu silently left while the crowd was paying attention to the crumbling place.
“Huh?” However, there were still people who noticed this. An expert from the Sky Bell Cult wanted to say something but Qin Wentian simply turned and glanced at him, sending shivers down his spine as he didn’t dare to speak out. Qin Wentian’s slaughtering actions earlier were still fresh in his mind, he had no wish to antagonize Qin Wentian as that might cause Qin Wentian to make a move against him.
So what if Feng Qianxue and Feng Zhu escaped? They are of no importance. The main point was that Qin Wentian must die. It was fine as long as he remains here.
After the siblings left, Qin Wentian continued to cultivate and comprehend the Holy Book as well as the holy will from the Vajra stone tablet.
He chose this stone tablet because the holy will inside had the capability to temper one’s body. The toughness of one’s physique and physical body was naturally extremely important with regards to cultivation. The stronger the body was, the more energy it would be able to contain. Hence, Qin Wentian placed a very high importance in tempering the toughness one’s body.
The black cracks grew more and more, but Qin Wentian had no distractions in his heart as he continued to focus.
As he continued to comprehend, the golden light of the buddha began to cascade down on him as the boundless runes gathered and formed a vajra dharma idol.
As his comprehension deepened, numerous ancient buddhic characters floated in the air, gleaming with a golden light. Each of the characters contained a fearsome buddhic energy, and all of them began to blast into him, creating a thunderous sound. This was such a terrifying attack, if one’s physique wasn’t already at a certain level, their body would definitely crumble apart. However, Qin Wentian was using the pressure of this force to further temper his body.
“BOOM!” At this moment, a huge hole appeared in the air. Within the hole, a terrifying destructive might could be felt. It actually rained down right on the Holy Book and an instant later, the radiance from the Holy Book began to dim into nothingness.
“The Holy Book has disappeared.” Everyone only felt a sense of loss when they saw that. They would no longer be able to comprehend the holy will without the Holy Book as reference. This meant that the inheritances from the Eastern Tomb had disappeared completely from now onwards.
Under the fearsome destructive might, the destruction of the Eastern Tomb was imminent.
“The Holy Book is gone, the inheritances have ended forever more. Blackmetal Sword Emperor, you are a sinner!” An expert sighed with regret.
“Look over there!” At this moment, someone exclaimed in shock. Everyone turned their gazes towards Qin Wentian, only to see that he was still cultivating. He actually was still able to comprehend the holy will and was immersed in golden light, resembling a buddha.
“Does it seem like he is still comprehending the holy will?” An expert from one of the remnant powers felt shock in his heart.
“Who says that without the Holy Book, one wouldn’t be able to comprehend the holy will in the stone tablets?” An immortal king spoke, mocking that expert from the remnant powers who spoke earlier.
“Seems like one still needs talent.” Another person spoke in a low voice.
“BOOM!” That expert from the remnant powers stepped out. A sky bell descended from the air, capable of shattering the souls of everyone. With a wave of his hand, that bell shot towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian sensed the incoming danger. His eyes abruptly opened but he made no other movements. The sky bell slammed into his dharmic idol, and erupted forth with a blinding radiance. After that, a golden ripple was manifested from the impact, diffusing the shockwaves. Qin Wentian was not injured at all.
That expert from the Sky Bell Cult frowned. He grabbed out with his hand as another gigantic ancient bell manifested. He stared at Qin Wentian and spoke, “I want to see if the defense of your dharmic idol is true or illusory.”
As the sound of his voice faded, he continued to attack. Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with a terrifying killing intent. With a wave of his hand, sword qi gushed forth as a tiny sword slashed out, capable of cleaving the world into two. With a piercing sound, even before the bell slammed into him, that immortal king who attacked had already died due to a hole in his head.
Qin Wentian was expressionless, coldly staring at everyone. He glanced at the crumbling tombs, he knew that this place would soon collapse. With a flash of his silhouette, he soared up into the air and flew away into the distance, showing no hints of reluctance to leave at all.
Qin Wentian knew that there were many here who wanted to kill him. When it’s time to leave, he didn’t hesitate, directly departing the area.
And as expected, the moment Qin Wentian rose up into the air, numerous gazes turned to him. An expert from the Sacred Sun Sect shouted, “You think you can flee after killing someone from my Sacred Sun Sect?”
After speaking, more experts soared up into the air, chasing after Qin Wentian.
“Mhm.” Experts from the Vajra Sect coldly laughed as they joined the chase as well. Reverend Fa Nu, a saint child of their sect, was killed by Qin Wentian. How could they spare him?
Numerous figures soared up and chased after Qin Wentian, causing the remaining crowd to be stunned in shock. Who was that person exactly? Why were so many powerful characters chasing after him to hunt him down?
However, that attack he used to kill the Sky Bell Cult’s immortal king earlier was truly terrifying to the extreme. The strength of that person must definitely be extraordinary.
