The platinum battle robes on Qin Wentian's body shimmered, and on the platform, there were no more warriors. This indicated that Qin Wentian had already reached the pinnacle of the same level.
Other than him, there was no one else who could match the platinum battle robes.
Sadly, he was born at the wrong time.
"What a pity." Many in the crowd silently mused. If only Qin Wentian had another year or two, his cultivation base would have already stepped into the eighth or ninth level of Yuanfu. At that time, his will of Mandates would be even more powerful, and at that time, he would be able to contend against Chen Wang and Shi Potian for the most dazzling position in the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
And as for now, although he had donned the platinum battle robes and performed exceptionally well, the disparity between him and Chen Wang was still insurmountable.
Regardless of cultivation base, Mandates, or innate techniques, he would definitely be suppressed. There was no way for him to compete against Chen Wang.
Maybe he could be the same as Chen Wang and endure for three more years. In the ranking battle three years from now, he would have a chance to become one of the top three rankers.
Qin Wentian walked up the platform. The blood on his chest seemed to have been frozen by the Mandate of Gold. Earlier, the attacks from the three warriors had caught him off guard.
Qin Wentian sat cross-legged, silently recuperating at the side. A medicinal pill flew over, and Qin Wentian didn't even need to think, he directly swallowed it. Such a scene caused many to have bewildered expressions on their faces as they cast deep glances at Mo Qingcheng.
That medicinal pill had been flicked out by Mo Qingcheng. She had actually given it to Qin Wentian?
Could it be that after seeing Qin Wentian donning the platinum battle robes, she had developed feelings for Qin Wentian? However, this didn't seem realistic. Mo Qingcheng didn't even accept Hua Taixu's advances. She might have only helped Qin Wentian because she saw that he was injured.
However, Qin Wentian didn't stand on ceremony at all. After swallowing the medicinal pill, he didn't even say a word of thanks as he continued to recuperate.
As for the other participants, they all continued to challenge the Heavenly Fate Rankings. The number of people who didn't have a chance to obtain the yellow-colored battle robe grew more and more as they left in dejection. However, there was one person who attracted the attention of the crowd. Because this person's countenance was extremely unfamiliar, many didn't know who he was, and he wasn't a ranker on the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
With a cultivation base at the ninth level of Yuanfu, one could very well imagine how powerful Qin Wentian's combat prowess was. For a period of time, Qin Wentian's limelight directly surpassed that of Qin Wentian.
After all, Qin Wentian's cultivation base was at the seventh level of Yuanfu. This was the ranking battle of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, and although one's combat prowess at the same level would cause others to sigh in admiration, this ranking battle still depended on who was the strongest.
After this person obtained the violet-gold battle robes, his name was Si Qiong.
No one had ever heard of this person. They didn't even know his background.
Apart from that, when this round of battles ended, quite a few powerful figures had emerged. They hadn't revealed themselves before, but now that they had all erupted with power, it caused everyone to have a whole new level of respect for them.
In the end, the one who put on the platinum robe was Qin Wentian.
There were a total of three who had donned the violet-gold battle robes: Chen Wang, Shi Potian, and Si Qiong.
Other than that, there were a total of five who had donned the violet-gold battle robes: Yan Cheng, Leng Hong, Qin Zheng, Yao Jun, and Hua Shaoqing.
These five people were extremely unexpected, but Yan Cheng and Yao Jun weren't too shocking. After all, the Swallow Swordsman, Yan Cheng, was originally ranked # 8 on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, while Yao Jun from the Skydemon Sect was ranked # 13. The Heavenly Fate Rankings were as common as the clouds, so it wasn't surprising for a few of them to erupt with power.
However, Leng Hong, Qin Zheng, and Hua Shaoqing were truly shocking.
Leng Hong was somewhat similar to Si Qiong, nobody knew his background. Occasionally, one or two people would say that Leng Hong was a wanderer who roamed Grand Xia.
Qin Zheng was a stranger in Grand Xia, but for those who cultivated in the Unmatched Realm, they would definitely have heard of him.
And finally, Hua Shaoqing, he was actually someone from the Hua Clan. Initially, the spectators thought that after Hua Taixu, the next pillar of the Hua Clan would be Hua Feng, but who would have thought that Hua Shaoqing would appear instead.
This caused many to smell an unusual aura. The younger generation of the Hua Clan was filled with geniuses, and they had always been hiding Hua Shaoqing. Unknowingly, Hua Shaoqing had already become so powerful. The ambitions of the Hua Clan weren't small at all.
The battles of Si Qiong, Leng Hong, Qin Zheng, and Hua Shaoqing were all witnessed by the spectators. These four might very well be the dark horses of the Heavenly Fate Rankings this time around.
For this round of battles, the elimination rate was exceedingly high. Only less than a thousand remained, but those who remained were even more terrifying. To be able to defeat the three yellow-robed warriors, one of their Mandates must be at the Perfection Boundary. Not only that, the majority of participants were all at the ninth level of Yuanfu. For them to be able to wear the yellow robes, other than having a Mandate at the Perfection Boundary, they had to be at the peak of the ninth level of Yuanfu.
For the Heavenly Fate Rankings, the elites of Yuanfu in Grand Xia were all gathered here.
For this round of battles, the majority of them fought with all their might. Naturally, there were also some who had different personalities. They chose to conceal some of their strength, hoping to catch their opponents off guard and surprise them in the later rounds.
The crowd on both sides of the path continued on their way, entering the depths of the Grand Xia Empire. The ranking battle had been held many times already, they naturally understood the rules. The next round would only be even more intense.
Not only that, the ranking of the Heavenly Fate Rankings would also be temporarily determined.
All three hundred and sixty spots would be allocated.
The next round of battles would be the true prelude to determining the final rankings of the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
The next round would begin, the fight for the ancient luck of Grand Xia.
In the hallway, Old Man Tianji stared ahead, staring at the crowd. After which, his gaze landed on Qin Wentian as he spoke, "The one clad in the platinum battle robes shall be the first to pass through the ancient gate."
"The ancient gate contains the ancient luck of Grand Xia. All of you shall be able to seize the ancient luck of your opponents, and when only three hundred and sixty people possess the ancient luck, that shall be the end of this round. At that time, you shall be ranked accordingly."
Qin Wentian's gaze turned towards the end of the battle platforms. Over there, there was an ancient gate.
Standing up, Qin Wentian slowly walked forward.
"Wait a minute," at this moment, a low voice drifted over, causing Qin Wentian to halt his steps.
Turning his head, Qin Wentian's gaze landed on the person who spoke. It was none other than Chen Wang.
"You, are not suitable to be the first to enter," Chen Wang calmly stated, his eyes staring ahead. He didn't even bother to look at Qin Wentian.
He initially thought that no one would be able to surpass him in the violet-gold battle robes.
However, Qin Wentian had actually donned the platinum battle robe, snatching away the opportunity for him to be the first to enter the ancient gate.
"What do you mean?" Qin Wentian frowned as he faintly inquired.
Chen Wang still didn't look at Qin Wentian. Instead, he turned his gaze in the direction of Old Man Tianji as he spoke, "Senior, according to the rules, the order of entry can be determined according to the number of battle robes one possesses. But as long as he chooses to give up, he can do so. Am I right?"
"Yes," Old Man Tianji replied, "But only if he is willing to give up."
Those from the Great Solar Chen Clan all had smiles on their faces. Chen Wang wanted to be the first to enter the ancient gate, the first person to receive ancient luck.
The spectators all had expressions of interest on their faces when they saw this scene. Those who knew the rules of the Heavenly Fate Rankings all understood why Chen Wang wanted to be the first to enter. Because he had the strength to do so, he wanted to obtain the recognition of ancient luck.
As for Qin Wentian, although he had donned the platinum battle robe, his cultivation base was still too low.
The order of entry wouldn't change the final result, but Chen Wang still wanted to be the first.
Firstly, the meaning behind it was different.
"You will give up on your own, right?" Chen Wang's gaze finally landed on Qin Wentian as he calmly asked.
Qin Wentian similarly stared at him, he didn't say anything.
"Inside, there's a sealing formation. When seizing ancient luck, you can also take the life of the person who possesses it." Chen Wang continued, the meaning of his words were already clear.
Chen Wang wanted to be the first to enter, he was threatening Qin Wentian.
"You are the violet-gold battle robe."
At this moment, Qin Wentian finally spoke, his words causing Chen Wang to frown. What was the meaning of his words?
"As for me, I am the platinum battle robe." Qin Wentian continued. After which, he turned and continued walking forward. Instantly, a cold light flickered in Chen Wang's eyes as killing intent flickered within.
Qin Wentian persisted, he wanted to be the first to enter.
"The violet-gold battle robe user, second." Old Man Tianji glanced at the crowd as he spoke again. However, Chen Wang and the rest were exceptionally calm. As long as they weren't the first to enter, what was the point? Especially to Chen Wang.
Qin Wentian pushed open the door and stepped inside. A bright light flashed as he appeared on the peak of an ancient mountain. This scene caused a look of astonishment to appear on his face.
Was this a spatial formation? He saw spatial energy again.
In the air, a terrifying pressure bore down, causing Qin Wentian's body to stiffen. He didn't even have the time to survey his surroundings before he inclined his head and stared up at the sky.
In the next instant, Qin Wentian's gaze froze.
In the air, there seemed to be a screen of light that enveloped the entire sky. Within that screen of light, fire-colored qi flowed as an incomparably majestic demonic beast hovered in the air, staring down at the world below.
On top of its golden wings, a crimson glow could be seen circulating with a dark luster, exuding a sense of majesty.
This demonic beast had nine tails, and its body was incomparably huge. The entire array was pressed under its body, as if it was the soul of the array.
Its eyes were incomparably sharp, as though they could penetrate through people. And right now, those eyes were staring right at Qin Wentian, causing Qin Wentian to feel a sense of suffocation.
Divine Bird, Vermilion Bird.
The totem beast of the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia.
Once upon a time, the citizens of Grand Xia all worshipped the Vermilion Bird as their Divine Spirit, their totem.
But now, thousands of years had passed. Grand Xia was no longer the Grand Xia of the past, and the rumors about the Vermilion Bird grew fewer and fewer.
Yet the Vermilion Bird in the air seemed to have a life of its own. It was currently staring at Qin Wentian.
"The first person to enter actually only has a cultivation base at the seventh level of Yuanfu, yet he's clad in a platinum-colored battle robe." A cold and dignified voice drifted over, causing Qin Wentian to feel an even more intense feeling of imposingness.
"I shall bestow upon you the ancient luck of Purgatory." The Vermilion Bird spoke again. After which, it opened its beak and spat out a beam of light towards Qin Wentian. Instantly, an illusory Vermilion Bird appeared behind Qin Wentian. It was none other than the Purgatory Vermilion Bird.
