In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
Outside of the Vermilion Bird Formation, countless gazes were still focused on the formation, not knowing day or night, not knowing exhaustion.
Seven days had passed since the battle between Qin Wentian and Chen Wang. Right now, the strength of the contenders for the Heavenly Fate Rankings was becoming clearer and clearer.
There were many who were already ranked on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, as well as a few dark horses.
Similarly, there were many who were destined to be surpassed. Even if they were ranked very high on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, cultivation was like walking against the wind. If you stagnated in the midst of the storm, others would instantly surpass you, or even leave you in the dust.
The Heavenly Fate Rankings were no exception. This was also the reason why the top rankers on the Heavenly Fate Rankings were all youths.
Because for those who were older, they had already been stuck at Yuanfu for a very long time. Why would they be stuck there for such a long time? Other than the lack of resources, it was also because their comprehension of Mandates couldn't reach the second level. If that was the case, they were destined to be surpassed by the later generations.
Although it was cruel, this was the natural law of the cultivation world.
Currently, the four most favored contenders were: Chen Wang, Shi Potian, Si Qiong and Zhan Chen. Si Qiong was exceedingly powerful, and Zhan Chen gave off a demonic aura.
These four should be the strongest contenders for the top three positions.
Other than them, there were also a few more favored contenders: Qin Zheng, Emperor Azure, Yao Jun, Hua Shaoqing, Yan Cheng, Leng Hong, Wang Jue and Yun Mengyi.
There were also a few more that were mysterious and unfathomable. For example, the black-robed figure, Mu Feng, Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng.
The black-robed figure and Mu Feng both kept a low profile and rarely provoked others. As long as no one provoked them, they wouldn't even fight for the ancient luck of the Vermilion Bird. But if someone dared to make a move against them, they wouldn't hesitate to defeat them. Especially for Mu Feng. It was rumored that after experiencing an unforeseen event, his temperament had changed as well. He became cold and ruthless, and those who dared to cause trouble for him all died in his hands. His temperament had become even more suited to the use of poison.
As for why no one was able to see through Qin Wentian, it was because in the battle seven days ago, he actually managed to survive Chen Wang's attack. What was even more shocking was that not only did he survive, he even caused Chen Wang's entire body to be dyed red with blood, causing him to enter a berserk state.
With regards to Mo Qingcheng, it was extremely rare for her to act. What was even more interesting was that those who met her didn't even try to snatch her ancient luck. Her charm was still as great as ever. Even in this world of Cold, no one dared to make a move against her. Such a beauty, it was truly difficult to do anything to her.
Hence, Mo Qingcheng's true strength was still a mystery even now. Everyone only knew that as the disciple of Luo He, her alchemy abilities were extremely terrifying, and her talent was exceedingly high.
Not only that, for those who weren't that strong, they started to gather together. In order to prevent their ancient luck from being snatched away by the more powerful characters, they temporarily formed an alliance. As time flowed by, the number of such alliances gradually increased. This way, even if they met an extremely powerful character, they wouldn't be stripped of their qualifications to stay behind.
Hence, a strange phenomenon occurred. The ancient luck of those who stood at the peak of the Vermilion Bird Formation grew more and more. For those who were blasted out, the vast majority of their ancient luck would eventually be absorbed by them.
"The number of people is getting lesser and lesser, there's only about five hundred left." The spectators mused as they stared at the Vermilion Bird Formation.
"This Chen Wang is plundering the ancient luck, and at the same time, he's also searching for someone. Yang Fan, Situ Po and Hua Feng are actually all waiting outside the cave dwelling, outside of Qin Wentian's cave dwelling."
Many people stared in bewilderment at a certain location within the formation. Yang Fan, Situ Po and Hua Feng could all be considered extremely powerful characters. Could it be that they had a grudge against Qin Wentian? However, since Qin Wentian didn't come out, they didn't dare to enter the cave dwelling to deal with Qin Wentian.
"This Qin Wentian is so powerful, he actually made so many people wait for him outside." In the direction of the Mystic Maiden Palace, the young and beautiful Xuan Xin mumbled in a low voice. She was evidently pleasantly surprised. Qin Wentian's friends weren't bad, especially this Qin Wentian.
"After offending the Chen Wang, wouldn't he still have to die? Now that he's hiding inside, the only path left for him is death." After Li Shiyu's ancient luck was plundered, she witnessed what happened next. The middle-aged man who had blasted her out actually had his ancient luck plundered by Qin Wentian, and was blasted out just like her. Given Qin Wentian's strength, if he had wanted to, he would have been able to save her.
"Senior Sister, you can't say that. What cultivation level is Qin Wentian at? When he first entered the Unmatched Realm, you should know that. Now, he's already strong enough to injure the Chen Wang. Even if he's hiding in the cave dwelling, and the Chen Wang and the others didn't dare to enter, it's all because of their incompetence. There's nothing shameful about Qin Wentian."
Xuan Xin softly added, "Senior Sister, you can't bear a grudge just because Qin Wentian didn't act to help you. Senior Sister's strength isn't stable yet, that's why she was defeated and had her ancient luck stolen."
Li Shiyu was somewhat unhappy that Xuan Xin had hit the nail on the head. She coldly snorted, "I'm just speaking the truth. Why don't you take a look at your precious Fatty? He's still hiding there."
Xuan Xin found Fan Le's silhouette, as she casually laughed, "It's already very difficult for him to reach this step with his cultivation base at the seventh level of Yuanfu. Now that he's focusing on his own cultivation, there's nothing wrong with that. This is called intelligence."
No matter what the people in the outside world thought, the people in the Vermilion Bird Formation all guarded their hearts and acted according to their own thoughts.
Qin Wentian continued cultivating in the cave dwelling, and no one dared to enter.
"Qin Wentian, didn't you want to have a real battle with me? Now that I'm here, if you accept my challenge, I will definitely kill you." A voice drifted into the cave dwelling, it was Situ Po's voice.
Situ Po naturally knew that it was impossible for him to provoke Qin Wentian into coming out of the cave. However, his voice could disrupt Qin Wentian's cultivation. At the very least, he wouldn't let Qin Wentian have an easy time.
"Chen Wang sure is slow." Hua Feng impatiently commented as he stared at the cave dwelling.
Chen Wang still hadn't found Chu Mang and Fan Le?
It wasn't a good idea to continue wasting time like this. Luckily, Hua Feng knew his own limits. He knew that it was impossible for him to seize too much ancient luck, and if he did, he would only attract the attention of Chen Wang and the others.
"Chen Wang has already spread the news everywhere, I'm afraid those within the formation all know that he's searching for Qin Wentian. There's no need to be anxious, it's only a matter of time." Yang Fan was extremely calm. Although he had broken up with Shu Ruanyu, he still felt extremely unhappy in his heart. Shu Ruanyu wasn't bad, she was beautiful, talented, and had an extraordinary background. He had already made preparations to marry her, but who would have thought that his woman would be abducted by Qin Wentian.
In the Moon Continent, the impact on Yang Fan's reputation would be extremely great. Yang Fan's fiancee, the beautiful and sexy Shu Ruanyu, was actually abducted by Qin Wentian. What would the people of the Moon Continent think? This was also the reason why Yang Fan broke up with Shu Ruanyu.
Hence, leaving aside the grudges between them, Yang Fan had to kill Qin Wentian no matter what.
"Qin Wentian, you were incomparably arrogant in front of the Heavenly Stele Steps. But now, you're like a turtle hiding in a cave, acting like a livestock. Don't you think you're pathetic?" Situ Po coldly continued, "Not only that, your cowardice might lead to the death of your friend. Chen Wang, if he manages to capture your friend, he will definitely not let you off."
Infuriate, Situ Po wanted to infuriate Qin Wentian. Hence, he unceasingly used vulgar words to provoke Qin Wentian. However, Qin Wentian still ignored him. He was currently at a critical juncture in his cultivation.
Hua Feng stepped forward, arriving at the side of the cave. His gaze was fixated on the interior of the cave as he coldly laughed, "Qin Wentian, tell me, if Chen Wang knew of the relationship between you and Mo Qingcheng, do you think he would do something to her?"
Mo Qingcheng was someone from the Pill Emperor Hall, a Heaven's Chosen, as well as the beloved disciple of Luo He. Even if Chen Wang knew of the relationship between Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian, he wouldn't vent his anger on Mo Qingcheng. Qin Wentian understood this point, and so did Hua Feng. However, his words were only meant to infuriate Qin Wentian.
Situ Po's countenance stiffened. What relationship did Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng have?
Only those from the Hua Clan knew of the relationship between them. After all, Hua Xiaoyun had died in the hands of Qin Wentian because of this.
Hua Taixu had already broken through to the second level of Heavenly Dipper, and his status in the Hua Clan continued to rise. Hence, those from the Hua Clan gave Hua Feng an order to eliminate Qin Wentian during the ranking battle for the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
Hua Shaoqing, on the other hand, wanted to ascend to the top ranks of the Heavenly Fate Rankings. This made Hua Feng extremely unhappy. Why did he have to run errands for Hua Taixu? Not only that, it was him, not Hua Shaoqing.
Hence, he wanted to vent his unhappiness on Qin Wentian, and even more so, he wanted Qin Wentian to die.
"Qin Wentian, Mo Qingcheng is such a peerless beauty. If she were to be humiliated by someone, what would the scene be like?" Hua Feng suppressed his voice to an extremely low level, transmitting his words into the cavern so that only Qin Wentian could hear him.
He didn't believe that Qin Wentian would be able to endure this for too long.
Abruptly, a terrifying demonic qi gushed forth, bringing with it an ice-cold killing intent. Hua Feng retreated in order to avoid being ambushed, yet a cold smile could be seen in his eyes. He knew that he had achieved his goal. Qin Wentian was enraged.
As long as Qin Wentian was enraged and knew his weakness, things would be much easier. He didn't believe that Qin Wentian wouldn't reveal himself.
Within the cave, Qin Wentian's body was enveloped by a terrifying demonic qi.
Demons were violent, bloodthirsty, tyrannical, tyrannical in strength, and incomparably exuberant in vitality.
The first level of the Mandate of Demons was Demonification, causing one to be closer to a demon, becoming more violent, possessing more strength, and having a more fearsome physique.
In that case, what would the second level of the Mandate of Demons contain?
Qin Wentian's rage told him that the Mandate of Demons was different from other Mandates. Because, it was the Mandate of Demons.
The second level of the Mandate of Demons was Demonification. Qin Wentian's physique was expanding as his bones transformed. Terrifying cracking sounds echoed from his body, and his eyes gave off a terrifying demonic aura.
Qin Wentian's third eye opened, as a demonic light flashed past. It was as though a primordial greater demon was staring down at the myriad of living beings.
As for the aura radiating from Qin Wentian, it was already at the eighth level of Yuanfu.
His eyes abruptly opened, and within the cave, three beams of light could be seen, capable of shaking the souls of those who saw it!
