Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with a terrifying coldness. The power of his bloodline erupted forth as a third eye appeared in the centre of his brows.
"Yun Mengyi, freeze this space." Qin Wentian's voice was ice cold. Yun Mengyi slashed out with her sword as a terrifying coldness gushed forth from her. The entire space seemed to be frozen by the coldness, causing frost to form on the bodies of the spectators.
Qin Wentian and the rest didn't continue advancing. Instead, they chose to stop and engage in battle on the surface of the River of Life and Death. This scene caused the hearts of the spectators to tremble. Were these people crazy?
Zhan Chen, Yang Fan and the rest frowned. Although they wanted to kill Qin Wentian, to them, the ranking battle was more important. Hence, their will to battle had diminished.
"Kill Duan Qingshan."
Qin Wentian's voice was as cold as ice. He had said before that if they met again, he would definitely kill Duan Qingshan. Yet now, Duan Qingshan actually dared to act against him?
This time around, he would use Duan Qingshan's life to pay the price.
The black-robed figure was delaying Zhan Chen, while Chu Mang was fighting against Situ Po. Bailu Jing and Ouyang Kuangsheng were defending against the attacks of Yang Fan and the other two from the Star-Seizing Manor. Yun Mengyi's gaze shifted onto Duan Qingshan as an extreme coldness erupted forth. Duan Qingshan's entire body was covered in frost, the coldness so cold that it pierced right into his bones.
Abruptly, a formless energy blasted onto him as a fearsome Mandate of Will gushed into his sea of consciousness. Inclining his head, he stared at Qin Wentian. His countenance was incredibly unsightly to behold, a terrifying primordial demon had descended upon his sea of consciousness, wanting to devour him whole. Not only that, the force of the attack caused his sea of consciousness to tremble violently.
The attack of the Mandate of Will actually gushed into his sea of consciousness.
Duan Qingshan's countenance turned ashen as he retreated with explosive speed. He stomped out with his foot, aiming for Qin Wentian and the rest, only to see Qin Wentian casually waving his hand as a formless energy blasted apart the attack of the gigantic foot.
"Wait, this Mandate of Will should be at the second level." Duan Qingshan's countenance turned ashen. How was this possible? Qin Wentian was only at the seventh level of Yuanfu, how could he have already comprehended the second level of Mandates? That was the entry level of Heavenly Dipper!
Yun Mengyi's speed was exceedingly fast. She had also comprehended the Mandate of Wind, and in addition to the Mandate of Ice, she was even faster than Duan Qingshan. Slashing out with her sword, she descended from the Nine Heavens. Duan Qingshan's countenance grew incredibly unsightly to behold. In the Unmatched Realm, only a few people knew of Yun Mengyi. Yet this nameless nobody was actually this tyrannical.
Duan Qingshan howled in rage as the power of his Astral Soul erupted forth. It was as though a pair of gigantic feet had appeared in the air, blasting upwards.
However, he saw Qin Wentian madly rushing at him with terrible killing intent.
Right now, Qin Wentian only had one thought in his mind, and that was to kill Duan Qingshan.
Duan Qingshan's countenance was as cold as ice. However, Qin Wentian raised his palm and pressed it against the air. In an instant, a surge of energy like that of a ferocious beast slammed into Duan Qingshan's body, causing him to groan in pain.
The Heavenly Sword Technique descended. Duan Qingshan's face was as pale as paper, but no one helped him.
"BOOM!"
An ancient bell rang out in the air, reverberating in his heart. After which, Qin Wentian arrived. His eyes were incomparably demonic as a third eye appeared in the centre of his brows. Sweeping his gaze over, he blasted out a palm imprint.
Duan Qingshan howled in rage, he had no choice but to clash head-on against Qin Wentian. A boundlessly powerful force blasted into his body, directly ignoring his defenses as it bore down on him, causing him to be pushed down towards the River of Life and Death.
Splashing sounds rang out, this was the sound of the river water.
"NO …" Duan Qingshan turned his head back, his countenance as pale as paper. Qin Wentian's palm was already pressing down on him, ignoring everything else as he continued to press downwards.
"I've said it before, I will kill you."
A cold voice rang out. Qin Wentian blasted out another palm strike as a towering might blasted down. With a rumbling sound, Duan Qingshan's body was instantly corroded by the River of Life and Death.
"NO …" Duan Qingshan's countenance contorted with malevolence, but in the next instant, his body turned into a pile of white bones.
Duan Qingshan had fallen.
The spectators on both sides of the River of Life and Death felt their hearts pounding violently when they saw the pile of white bones disappearing into the river.
That was Duan Qingshan, one of the top thirty-six rankers on the Heavenly Fate Rankings. However, he was actually killed by someone in the River of Life and Death.
Although the River of Life and Death was cruel, Duan Qingshan had actually fallen at the first checkpoint after the sounding of the drum. This caused the spectators to sigh at the cruelty of the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
At the same time, it also caused the spectators to seriously reevaluate this young man.
Who was this young man exactly? He had many friends by his side, yet there were so many experts who wanted to kill him.
Not only that, at the moment when the drum sounded, he had already broken the record, seizing the first position.
At that time, the spectators didn't think that this meant anything. After all, his cultivation base was the weakest. But after that, he killed Duan Qingshan. Although he borrowed the strength of others, there was no need to doubt Qin Wentian's own strength. If not, how could he have suppressed Duan Qingshan and blasted him into the River of Life and Death?
Those from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan naturally witnessed this scene as their countenances turned incredibly unsightly.
Although Duan Qingshan wasn't a member of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, he was still a Heaven's Chosen of their Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. Yet now, he was actually killed by Qin Wentian.
Their hearts were filled with complex emotions. Back then, when Qin Wentian stepped into the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, Qin Wentian was still so weak. But now, he actually had the strength to kill Duan Qingshan, and even had a good relationship with Ouyang Kuangsheng.
As for Ouyang Ting, her countenance was as pale as paper, as though her soul had left her body.
How could this be, how could this be? Duan Qingshan was killed by Qin Wentian.
At this moment, Ouyang Ting's eyes were bloodshot, she didn't know what to do. Her mind kept telling herself that it was impossible, but the truth was right before her eyes.
Why did things end up like this? Shouldn't it be the opposite? Duan Qingshan should have killed Qin Wentian instead.
All of this happened in an extremely short period of time. Qin Wentian's silhouette instantly soared up the skies, his gaze sweeping over the silhouettes of the spectators.
Zhan Chen, Situ Po and the rest knew that they couldn't afford to waste any more time. They soared through the air, no longer willing to waste any more time.
"Let's go quickly." Qin Wentian and the rest also sprinted forward. There were still people fighting in front of them, falling into the River of Life and Death unceasingly, causing the hearts of the spectators to tremble with fear.
Those who died were all geniuses of their respective regions.
The incense was about to burn out, and the crowd landed on the city walls at the end of the River of Life and Death, passing through the city gates.
A raging wind gusted by as Qin Wentian and the rest landed on the ground. The incense had already burned out, and they all drew in a deep breath. They didn't expect that the battles in the River of Life and Death would be so dangerous. Luckily, they had all arrived, and none of them had fallen behind.
"Let's go." Qin Wentian and the rest passed through the city gates and met with Zhan Chen's group. Their gazes were incomparably sharp, and their killing intent permeated the air.
"Consider yourselves lucky." Zhan Chen's eyes flickered with a golden light as he coldly stated. After which, he glanced at the black-robed figure. This person had spoiled his plans several times already.
Qin Wentian also glanced at the black-robed figure as he nodded his head, "Many thanks."
The countenance of the black-robed figure flickered. His eyes exuded a sense of elegance, and this caused Qin Wentian to suspect that the black-robed figure who cultivated the Devil Art was actually a female.
This Devil Art was extremely tyrannical, and those who cultivated it could easily suffer a backlash. If it was a female cultivator, how strong would her heart be?
However, Qin Wentian didn't know if he would be able to find out the identity of the black-robed figure after the ranking battle.
After passing through the city gates, the number of people remaining decreased once again. Another half of the participants remained in the River of Life and Death. Currently, although there were still many people gathered here, compared to before, the number of participants had already decreased by quite a bit. However, those who remained were all elites, and as time passed, those who remained would only grow stronger and stronger.
For example, Duan Qingshan, who was originally ranked in the top thirty-six, naturally had the ability to challenge the top thirty-six. However, he was still killed in the end. His luck was simply too bad.
Not only that, during the ranking battle, there would be many who had grudges and grudges against each other, eliminating some of the more powerful participants.
However, this was precisely the kind of test the Heavenly Fate Rankings required.
Only when the sand is washed away by the great waves can one see the gold. But if one wanted to rely on luck to walk all the way to the end, it was impossible.
At this moment, in front of the eyes of the crowd, there were numerous platforms for the selection of generals.
Old Man Tianji and the rest were still leisurely walking in the air, gazing down at everything below them.
On the left and right of them, countless silhouettes appeared. It was as crowded as ever, but they were still able to see everything clearly.
It was rumored that although the current Grand Xia still retained much of its ancient glory, there were still many changes. For example, outside of the River of Life and Death, there should have been many ancient halls, but they had all been destroyed. After passing the flight of steps, the only thing left was the River of Life and Death.
As for the history of Grand Xia, no one bothered to look into it. As long as they could personally witness the ranking battle, they would be satisfied.
"This place used to be the training grounds of the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia. There are over a hundred platforms here, and as soon as you step on it, an illusory figure of the same level of strength will appear. For those below the yellow battle robe, they will all be eliminated. You may begin now," Old Man Tianji calmly stated.
As the sound of his voice faded, Great Sun Chen Wang's silhouette flickered, akin to a resplendent sun as he stood on the platform in the center. This platform wasn't large, so if he was blasted off it, the battle would be over.
A bright light flashed as an illusory figure appeared in front of Chen Wang. This figure was clad in red armor, and exuded a terrifying aura. He was the same as Chen Wang, at the peak of the ninth level of Yuanfu.
"Bzzz!"
This armored warrior wielded a long spear in his hands, instantly stabbing out towards Chen Wang.
Chen Wang's eyes flickered, it was as though a sun could be seen in his eyes. Instantly, his opponent's body was engulfed in flames, and with a wave of his hand, the armored warrior's body was instantly engulfed in flames. After which, it transformed into a beam of light that fused into Chen Wang's body. Momentarily, Chen Wang was clad in a red armor.
After which, two other armored warriors appeared. These two were clad in orange-colored armor.
Chen Wang stepped out, unleashing his Great Solar Universe Art. Blasting out with his palms, the two armored warriors were instantly incinerated. Momentarily, the color of Chen Wang's armor turned orange.
"For the Battle of Armors, there will be more and more powerful armored warriors appearing. The colors of their armors can be divided into crimson, orange, yellow, green, azure, indigo, violet. If you can pass all seven stages, you will be clad in a set of violet armor and stand out amongst the crowd. In fact, there were even some who passed all seven stages and fought against a violet-gold armored warrior."
Ouyang Kuangsheng spoke in a low voice. After this stage was over, the armor they wore would be able to directly reflect their strength.
