Chapter 1712: World-ending Battle

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The ancient Askheart Temple had experienced the passage of countless years, it exuded a quiet and peaceful aura.

Inside one of the treasured shrines, the reverend of the Askheart Temple sat on a praying mat with Qin Wentian in front of him. Beside him, a little novice buddhist monk was busying himself about, depositing jade slips and some tattered-looking ancient scrolls at the center between the reverend and Qin Wentian. These are all the valuable records kept by the Askheart Temple that had been handed down since ancient times.

“Master, they are all here.” The little monk pressed his palms together and spoke to Reverend Tianxin.

“Good, Wuxin, you have leave to go for now.” Reverend Tianxin spoke to the little monk. The little monk then nodded, he turned and bowed to Qin Wentian, “Sir Qin, Wuxin takes his leave.”

“Many thanks.” Qin Wentian smiled and nodded as the little monk left.

“Reverend, this disciple of yours is pretty good.” Qin Wentian laughed.

“He is indeed extremely intelligent.” Reverend Tianxin nodded. His gaze turned to the pile of ancient records before him, “These are all the records my temple has. Sir Qin, please peruse them.”

“Many thanks Reverend.” Qin Wentian bowed. After that, he started to read through the jade slips by sending his immortal sense into them. After finishing reading, a sharp expression could be seen on his face. He then continued to flip through the ancient scrolls. As his immortal sense extended into them, the information contained within was imprinted into his mind. Qin Wentian continued to flip through the scrolls as he read.

Qin Wentian took his time, the atmosphere of the shrine now was extremely quiet, without any sound at all. Reverend Tianxin also didn’t disturb him and had his eyes closed in meditation.

After a long time, Qin Wentian finally finished reading. His eyes gleamed sharply, his heart was unable to return to calmness even after a long time.

Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath, trying to suppress the shock in his heart. He didn’t expect that the ancient records of the Askheart Temple would actually be so shocking. It was very possible for these ancient records to be the only copy in the whole of Azure Mystic.

Who would have thought among the thirty-three heavens, their history was boundlessly long. The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms transformed after countless years and became the strongest immortal realms out of the thirty-three. However in the lower world, Azure Mystic also once had a period of supreme glory.

“The Azure Mystic Immortal Realms today...actually is not the Ancient Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, they are completely different.” Qin Wentian mumbled to himself.

“Reverend, do you know where Ancient Azure Mystic is located?” Qin Wentian asked. Ancient Azure Mystic doesn’t refer to the change in era, it wasn’t the current Azure Mystic in ancient times. In fact, although the current Azure Mystic was extremely vast, it was very possible that it was only a remote corner of the Ancient Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.

“I have no idea. However, the people from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms should be here for this matter. I wonder if those empyreans are able to find the entrance leading to Ancient Azure Mystic or not.” Reverend Tianxin shook his head.

“Although Azure Mystic is vast, alongside with the Myriad Devil Islands and Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range, the three of territories joined together is still extremely inconsequential when compared to the vastness of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. In the past, I wouldn’t think in this direction because I didn’t know anything. Now that I’ve learned of it, I finally realized the Azure Mystic we are in now is no longer Ancient Azure Mystic. As for the world-ending battle recorded in the ancient scrolls, how terrifying was it exactly?” Qin Wentian sighed.

The ancient records of the Askheart Temple actually contained a startling secret, recording ancient history of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. It was recorded that the Askheart Temple had existed since the time of Ancient Azure Mystic but because of that world-ending battle, the multitude of living things perished and the entire immortal realm were razed to flat ground. If things truly happened based on what the records said, the words ‘world-ending’ was truly not an exaggeration at all. This was simply too terrifying. Out of the thirty-three heavens in this universe, one of them was actually completely destroyed. What level of a battle was that at?

After that, some of those who survived the war fled the battlefield. After they awoke from their delirious state, the vast majority of living things had already died. Those survivors could actually no longer find the past Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, it seemed that they were in a completely new world.

An ancestor-level character of the Askheart Temple used a single sentence to summarize this change perfectly. “After awakening from a dream, the heavens have changed.”

The current Azure Mystic Immortal Realms most probably was something developed by the survivors of that devastating world-ending battle in ancient times. So much time has passed that it was basically no longer possible to verify things. The history of the Askheart Temple was so long that it caused one’s heart to tremble. It had accompanied Azure Mystic from the past up until now.

Maybe, this was the reason why there was only very few disciples of the Askheart Temple that would head out to enter the world. Their attitudes were the same. They were strong but peaceful, they don’t participate in any conflict but wouldn’t allow people to bully them.

Not participating in any conflict was because they knew of the existence of Ancient Azure Mystic and the history of that world-ending battle. Since they knew about it, what did they have to compete for, for this meagre Azure Mystic? Naturally, this was because the abbot of the Askheart Temple had a transcendent state of heart. The other monks in the temple might not know of this history and there would undoubtedly be monks of different personalities. But as long as the abbots know of the history, the edicts of the Askheart Temple would never change.

Wouldn’t allow people to bully them was naturally because of its history. It was one of the most ancient powers in the current Azure Mystic, the Askheart Temple naturally had their own pride. They wouldn’t bully others but similarly, they wouldn’t allow others to bully them.

Many powers in the immortal realms was very respectful towards the Askheart Temple. And this wasn’t because the fact of the Askheart Temple’s long history. If they knew about the long history, they would undoubtedly be even more respectful.

“Reverend, who do you think it was that sealed everyone in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms?” Qin Wentian asked again.

“How would I know? However, the world-ending battle in the ancient records most probably have a connection with that existence.” Reverend Tianxin’s tone was extremely calm. However, when he read this in the past, his heart was also filled with endless shock.

“I feel so as well.” Qin Wentian nodded. In the records, it’s said that Ancient Azure Mystic was unified before. That truly, boundlessly vast Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, was ruled over by a god-like character.

This god-like character was known as the Imperishable Heaven Lord.

The Imperishable Heaven Lord was the overlord of Ancient Azure Mystic. He naturally wasn’t someone Qin Wentian, the Heaven Empyrean of today, could be compared to. The world he unified was Ancient Azure Mystic, a true part of the thirty-three heavens in the universe. How high was his status? How powerful was the heaven lords of each immortal realms?

If he wasn’t powerful enough, how would the many powers in Ancient Azure Mystic be willing to follow his orders?

Now that Azure Mystic had a restriction order on it, Qin Wentian suspected that this might have something to do with the Imperishable Heaven Lord.

Also, the ancient records stated that it was very possible that the world-ending battle happened because of the Imperishable Heaven Lord.

The description in the ancient records about that world-ending battle was this: “For the world-ending battle in Ancient Azure Mystic, Heavenly Deities came from the other worlds, standing high up in the sky, looking down with disdain as they trampled Azure Mystic. When the Heavenly Deities came, countless people here directly prostrated in worship, their might was simply unobstructable, their power could shake the heavens. With a wave of their hands, the sun and moon vanished, the great earth trembled and cracked, the water of the oceans reversed their flow, the lava and magma in volcanoes erupted. Everywhere they passed was marked by endless destruction. They summoned world-destroying lightning, blasting everything into dust. All immortal and devils cried, all immortal kings and emperors turned into bones.”

“At this moment, the Imperishable Heaven Lord descended from the sky. In his rage, he fought against all the heavenly deities alone, splitting the sky with a wave of his hand, causing the entire Ancient Azure Mystic to tremble with a single roar. The Imperishable Heaven Lord shifted the battlefield to the starry space but the heavenly deities all refused, directly engaging him in the airspace above the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. That battle was extremely devastating. Many heaven deities died but the Imperishable Heaven Lord was heavily injured. But even so, he still forced the heavenly deities to retreat. However, the multitude of lives on Azure Mystic had already been lost, there were countless deaths and casualties and what was even more terrifying is that there were even more heavenly deities with heavenly weapons here to reinforce their earlier brethren. With a command, the Imperishable Heaven Lord gathered the remaining generals and fought back. That battle could be said to be the dusk of gods. Blood flooded entire regions, the various experts of Ancient Azure Mystic died one after another, protecting their world. Upon seeing the utter destruction of his world, the Imperishable Heaven Lord’s body transformed rivers and mountains as he invoked a taboo art, sacrificing his life to bury all the heaven deities. But by doing this, he similarly buried Azure Mystic.

This was the description of that world-ending battle that occurred in ancient times. Although the description wasn’t long, it was truly shocking to the extreme. The ancestor of the Askheart Temple was one of the lucky few that had survived and had personally witnessed that battle, recording it down, sealing them in scrolls and jade slips, preserving them through the passage of countless years. In fact, these might be the only records of that world-ending battle left in Azure Mystic.

Heavenly Deities, what level of existence were they at? One could only wonder if the ancestor of the Askheart Temple who recorded this knew the answer to this question or not.

The heavenly deities who came from the other worlds brought with them troops and divine weapons, participating in that world-ending battle. It was very possible they were from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Most probably, they were from those extremely terrifying superpowers with deep foundations. The Imperishable Heaven Lord fought against them, even driving them back once before burying all of them. It was simply impossible to fathom how powerful the Imperishable Heaven Lord was exactly. He, the vaunted Heaven Empyrean, most probably would be nothing more than an ant in the face of the Imperishable Heaven Lord.

But in truth, Qin Wentian felt extremely puzzled. Since the Imperishable Heaven Lord most probably died together with the heavenly deities, who was it that was powerful enough to seal Azure Mystic? What sort of existence was it?

Could it be that the Imperishable Heaven Lord hasn’t died? He was still alive?

If this is the case, it was truly too terrifying. Surviving from ancient times up until now? How powerful must he be now then. Naturally, this was merely a conjecture, no one would be able to verify it.

Undoubtedly, that person who sealed Azure Mystic must surely be extremely strong, supremely powerful or he wouldn’t have the ability to do so.

“Sir Qin, a penny for your thoughts after you read the scrolls?” Reverend Tianxin asked Qin Wentian.

“Reverend, do you want to find the entrance to Ancient Azure Mystic too?” Qin Wentian asked.

“That should be what my ancestor wanted. It’s only that right now, empyreans from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms have entered our Azure Mystic. How similar this scene is? Luckily, the experts who descended now shouldn’t be as powerful as those heavenly deities mentioned in the ancient records or we would all be in for a devastating calamity.” Reverend Tianxin pressed his palms together.

“Indeed.” Qin Wentian nodded his head.

“Also, now that Sir Qin is the overlord of the current Azure Mystic, your position now is akin to the Imperishable Heaven Lord of Ancient Azure Mystic. The multitude of lives still have to depend on you.” Reverend Tianxin bowed to Qin Wentian.

“Reverend, there’s no need to act like this.” Qin Wentian stretched out his hand to help the reverend up. “Leaving aside the fact that another world-ending battle might not happen, even if it is going to happen, I won’t allow it to end the world. As the Heaven Empyrean, I’ll naturally do my best to protect Azure Mystic. Also, I’ll only leave here after this matter is concluded.”

“Since that is the case, many thanks.” Reverend Tianxin respectfully stated. Qin Wentian sighed in his heart, Reverend Tianxin’s state of heart was so vast that it could contain the world!
