The Heavenly Stele Platform was located in the central region of the Azure Continent. But even so, there was no one there at all. There was only an old man sweeping the steps of the Heavenly Stele Steps.
Such a wondrous place had never been occupied by anyone, and no one had ever dared to wipe it off the face of the Azure Continent. This was because it was rumored that the owner of the Heavenly Stele Platform was an extremely powerful individual.
Not only that, the Heavenly Stele in the Heavenly Stele Viewing Hall was a supreme treasure. It was able to peer into the innate talent and destiny of those who cultivated the Heavenly Stele Viewing Hall. It was extremely beneficial to those who cultivated the Heavenly Stele Viewing Hall. Every time the Heavenly Stele Viewing Hall descended, countless people would head there to challenge the Heavenly Stele Steps.
Not only that, there were no rules to the descent of the Heavenly Stele Platform, it was rumored that it depended on the mood of the owner.
But now, an elder from the Unmatched Realm said that three days later, he would borrow the Heavenly Stele for them to challenge, to pave the way for them.
The old man naturally knew that among the many geniuses of the Unmatched Realm, there would be many who would head to the Ginkou Continent at the end of the year.
The mysterious old man actually had a friendly relationship with the mysterious and powerful Heavenly Stele Platform's owner, allowing him to borrow the Heavenly Stele Steps for the sake of the cultivators of the Unmatched Realm. At the same time, it was also for the sake of the battle between Qin Wentian and Situ Po.
The loser would be expelled from the Unmatched Realm. This was a battle that neither of them could afford to lose.
If Situ Po were to lose, where would his face go? He was two levels higher than Qin Wentian, yet he failed to kill Qin Wentian today. On the contrary, Lin Haotian and the rest who participated in the hunt for Qin Wentian had all died. This was already a huge loss of face for him.
If Qin Wentian was defeated, he would die. Situ Po would never spare him.
"Senior, he killed someone in the Unmatched Realm." Yue Bingying spoke, wanting to pursue the matter of Qin Wentian.
"Do you think I'm blind?" That ethereal voice drifted over once more, containing a hint of coldness within. Yue Bingying's countenance stiffened, so what if she was a princess of the Azure Emperor Palace? In the Unmatched Realm, the old man didn't need to give her any face.
Among the cultivators in the Unmatched Realm, how many of them were from prestigious sects? All of them had something to ask of the Unmatched Old Man.
The Peerless Old Man was clearly aware of their struggle. Situ Po wanted to kill Qin Wentian, and Lin Haotian and the others had helped to stop him, only to die at the hands of Qin Wentian. Who was in the right and who was in the wrong?
If they were to be convicted, they were all guilty.
"The matters of today shall end here. If you all want to fight, go to the Heavenly Stele Platform and let the people of the Azure Continent witness it. Let's see if you all have the face to lose." As the sound of his voice faded, Old Man Wu Shuang's aura vanished into nothingness.
Situ Po's expression was ice cold, his gaze sweeping over Qin Wentian, the killing intent in his eyes intensified.
"Three days later, I'll be waiting for you at the Heavenly Stele Platform." Situ Po coldly stated. After which, his silhouette flickered as he appeared in front of Yue Bingying. The two of them held hands as they left the Unmatched Realm. Three days later, they would kill Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian retracted his demonic qi, as well as his Astral Souls. The tyrannical aura he was exuding gradually dissipated into nothingness. Evidently, he was heavily injured.
In terms of talent, he was stronger than Situ Po. But in terms of combat prowess, he was weaker than Situ Po. After all, there was a disparity between the two of them in terms of cultivation level and Mandates. For cultivators, even the slightest disparity was akin to a chasm. If it weren't for the fact that he had many trump cards up his sleeves, as well as his talent, he would have long since died in Situ Po's hands.
Landing on the ground, Qin Wentian once again turned his gaze onto Li Shiyu and the others from the Mystic Maiden Palace. Li Shiyu coldly snorted as she glanced at Fan Le. After which, she turned to Xuan Xin and stated, "Xuan Xin, Situ Po will definitely win three days from now. At that time, Qin Wentian will die for sure. Fan Le is a friend of Qin Wentian, and Qin Wentian killed Lin Haotian and the rest. Although Situ Po didn't say anything today, he will definitely not spare Qin Wentian."
"Sister Shiyu, Qin Wentian is only at the sixth level of Yuanfu, while Situ Po is at the eighth level. Being able to fight to such an extent, the difference in talent between the two of them can be seen with a single glance. The Heavenly Stele Steps doesn't depend on one's combat prowess, but rather, one's talent, one's will, and one's conviction. Who said that he would lose to Situ Po?"
Li Shiyu coldly snorted, "Situ Po was too careless today, and he didn't manage to kill Qin Wentian. If not, do you think he would still be alive? Xuan Xin, don't be so optimistic. Even if his talent is high, Fan Le is not him. How can Fan Le be worthy of you?"
Fan Le was incomparably depressed when he heard this. He then spoke, "Beautiful maiden, do you want to spar with me? Senior said that the Heavenly Stele Platform is open to all of us from the Unmatched Realm. How about we go there and give it a try?"
"You?" Li Shiyu disdainfully replied, "If you lose, will you voluntarily leave Xuan Xin?"
She also wanted to go to the Heavenly Stele Platform. How could she miss out on such a good opportunity?
"Isn't this unfair to me? Even if I win, you won't be able to make decisions for Xuan Xin." Fan Le's eyes flickered as he meekly stated, "How about this, if I win, you can be my concubine."
"You, you …" Xuan Xin's eyes widened as she stared at Fan Le, resembling a beautiful tigress.
"I'm just joking." Fan Le's smile trembled. "How can such a woman be worthy of a handsome genius like me?"
"Just you wait." Li Shiyu coldly glanced at Fan Le. With a wave of her sleeves, she led the people from the Mystic Maiden Palace away. The matter regarding the Heavenly Stele Platform naturally had to be reported to the Mystic Maiden Palace, as well as the matter regarding Xuan Xin.
Seeing Li Shiyu and the others leaving, Xuan Xin's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of worry. However, she only saw Fan Le holding onto her dainty hands as he spoke, "Don't worry, this genius will definitely shock the people from the Mystic Maiden Palace three days later, and after that, they will acknowledge me as their son-in-law."
Seeing that Fan Le didn't forget to boast, Xuan Xin couldn't help but laugh. Although this damnable fatty was a little shameless, being together with him truly made her happy. She was even happier than when she was with the Mystic Maiden Palace. He would always think of all sorts of ways to make her happy. This kind of feeling, was very beautiful, very sweet.
"Boss, are you alright?" Fan Le and the rest turned their gazes onto Qin Wentian.
"I'm fine, my body can take it." Qin Wentian laughed. The blood in his body was still churning, recovering from his injuries. A smile could be seen on his face, and no one would be able to tell that he was the one who had fought earlier.
"Indeed, I can take it. You are too monstrous. If I fought against Situ Po, I'm afraid I would be insta-killed."
Ouyang Kuangsheng couldn't help but to admire Qin Wentian. Despite being at the sixth level of Yuanfu, he was able to fight against Situ Po to such an extent. The number one Astral Soul in the Warbeast Index, as well as the Demonic Transformation Art. This fellow was simply too powerful.
"However, you have to be careful. With just that cultivation technique of yours, I'm afraid it's even stronger than some of the overlord powers in the Demon Continent. It's very difficult for others to not covet it. You have to understand that the cultivation technique you're cultivating in is very likely something that they've bitterly searched for but could not obtain." Ouyang Kuangsheng reminded. Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly. Back then when he was cultivating the Fiend Transformation Art, the Azure Emperor had left a message for him. But today, when facing against the tyrannical Situ Po, he had no choice but to unleash his full strength. As for the future, he could only be more cautious and try to raise his strength as fast as possible.
After the ranking battle, if he stepped into the peak of Yuanfu, it would be best if he could enter closed-door seclusion to break through to Heavenly Dipper.
Although the competition between the geniuses of Yuanfu seemed impressive, in reality, they had yet to come into contact with the truly powerful characters. They were only Yuanfu cultivators, and many Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns didn't even bother to look at Yuanfu. Only by stepping into Heavenly Dipper would they be able to truly step onto the ladder of power.
"What's going on with the Heavenly Stele Platform?" Qin Wentian inquired.
"The Heavenly Stele is an ancient will that manifests illusions, allowing one's talent to undergo a transformation. In any case, the Heavenly Stele can reap the lives of others, but it can also allow one's strength to rise to a higher level. It's an extremely rare treasure that is rarely opened to the public. Now that old man Qin Wentian is able to borrow the Heavenly Stele, it's undoubtedly a great opportunity for us.
Ouyang Kuangsheng's voice was filled with anticipation. This time around, the battle between Situ Po and Qin Wentian wasn't a bad thing. It gave everyone a chance.
For the next three days, the geniuses of the Unmatched Realm all left the Unmatched Realm, informing their respective clans or sects as they headed towards the Heavenly Stele Platform.
This piece of news also spread out at a terrifying speed towards the Azure Continent.
Only now did the major powers of the Azure Continent hear of a new name, Qin Wentian.
In the Unmatched Realm, there was actually a young man at the sixth level of Yuanfu who wasn't even twenty years of age who fought against Situ Po from the Sword Extinction Sect, killing Lin Haotian and the rest. This news caused many of the juniors of the Sword Extinction Sect to feel a sense of loss of face. As for the elders of the sect, they didn't pay much attention to it. Every demon-level genius had to go through many rounds of selection, and since Lin Haotian died in the hands of someone with a lower cultivation base than him, it was impossible for the elders of the sect to seek revenge.
Killing Qin Wentian would be left to Situ Po.
And the Heavenly Stele Platform attracted the attention of countless people in the Azure Continent.
For the sake of safety, Ouyang Kuangsheng first mobilized some experts from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, in case there were any hidden dangers. Who knew if someone would ambush and kill Qin Wentian before the battle started? Hence, he had to be more cautious.
Today, the number of experts in the Heavenly Stele Platform was as many as the clouds. Many of the major powers of the Azure Continent had sent their disciples to cultivate in the Unmatched Realm. Today, they all had a chance to ascend the Heavenly Stele Steps.
In the vast area, experts from all over the Azure Continent gathered. Their gazes stared ahead as they inclined their heads. At the end of the flight of stairs, there were three gigantic stone monuments, simple and unadorned, exuding an ancient aura, yet extremely clean.
Below the stone monuments, an old man clad in tattered robes was quietly sweeping the dust off the steps. It was as though he had been repeating this action for an eternity, as though he didn't know fatigue.
"BOOM!" From afar, at the top of the Heavenly Stele Platform, the sound of a bell reverberated through the air. After which, streams of Astral Light cascaded onto the Heavenly Stele. Instantly, the color of the sky changed as resplendent astral light descended, landing on the ancient stone monuments. In an instant, a mysterious intent enveloped the entire space.
The Astral Light descended, the ancient will of the Heavenly Stele. The three Heavenly Stele Steps shone with resplendent resplendence.
"Bzzz!" A raging wind gusted by as a silhouette appeared at the bottom of the Heavenly Stele Steps, staring up at the skies.
The wind howled unceasingly as numerous silhouettes descended, causing the eyes of many to gleam with sharpness. The geniuses of the Unmatched Realm were all gathered here.
At this moment, a silhouette soared through the air. This was none other than Situ Po. His gaze swept through the surroundings before landing on a certain location. Over there, Ouyang Kuangsheng, Qin Wentian, Fan Le and the rest were all gathered together.
"In the past ten years, the twenty-seven steps of the Heavenly Stele Steps have been opened three times. The highest number of people who managed to reach the eighteenth step was the eighteenth. Today, I shall break through this record. "Situ Po slowly spoke, his sharp gaze riveted onto Qin Wentian.
