Qin Wentian's countenance was akin to that of a demon as he stared ahead, feeling extremely shocked in his heart.
After a few thousand years, he and the Azure Emperor had actually obtained the same ancient luck and arrived at the same place. It was as though it was fated.
However, if this place only contained the ancient luck of the Fiend Transformation Art, wouldn't it be a waste for them to obtain his ancient luck?
Qin Wentian didn't have such thoughts. His eyes shone with a bright light as he stared at the golden stone rampart in front of him. At the center of his brows, numerous demonic beasts could be seen materializing there.
This was the most perfect Fiend Transformation Art. The inheritance the Azure Emperor left for him back then couldn't possibly be the same as the golden stone wall before him.
At this moment, Qin Wentian suddenly understood. So it turned out that the countless ancient demonic beasts outside, although it was a test, wasn't it all for the sake of completing the Fiend Transformation Art?
"Fate is decided by the heavens. Since I'm already here, how can I return empty-handed? I shall complete the Fiend Transformation Art right here." Qin Wentian murmured. After which, he gently caressed the Purgatory Vermilion Bird beside him. Although it was injured, its eyes were as gentle as ever as it rubbed its head against Qin Wentian's chest. Not only that, after devouring the Phantasm Vermilion Bird, the Purgatory Vermilion Bird's luster seemed to have changed, becoming even more sinister.
"Have a good rest, I need to recover from my injuries as well. After that, let's go and clean up the ancient hall outside." Qin Wentian slowly spoke. The Purgatory Vermilion Bird nodded its head and lay on the ground, closing its eyes as though it was meditating.
Qin Wentian also sat down cross-legged. After killing the Phantasm Vermilion Bird, he was also injured, and his injuries weren't light. The Phantasm Vermilion Bird was extremely powerful and was immune to most attacks. Hence, Qin Wentian used the most tyrannical method to slay it. Naturally, if it wasn't for the fact that the Purgatory Vermilion Bird was injured from protecting him, Qin Wentian wouldn't have taken such a risk.
After recovering from his injuries, the man and the Demonic Demon returned to the temple. Cracking sounds could be heard as the statues began to shatter, and Demonic qi once again filled the air.
Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with an incomparably demonic light. Slowly walking forward, he actually walked towards the center of the great hall. When he saw a statue shattering into pieces, an ancient demon appeared. He directly grabbed out with his palm as a terrifying might gushed forth from him, wanting to destroy the ancient demon and seize its spirit.
Four hours later, both Qin Wentian and the Purgatory Vermilion Bird were covered in blood. At this moment, Qin Wentian was sitting cross-legged as boundless demonic qi gushed into his body. His body was like a bottomless pit, frenziedly devouring the demonic qi. The demonic qi from his body grew increasingly denser and more terrifying.
Three days later, there were no more demonic beasts on the ground of the ancient palace. In fact, the demonic qi in the great hall had all disappeared, all gathered on the body of the young man sitting cross-legged. The demonic qi around him towered up into the sky, it was unknown how terrifying he was.
Within the Vermilion Bird Formation, time flowed by as the number of participants decreased. There were less than a hundred remaining.
The spectators in the outside world were still paying close attention to what was happening within the Vermilion Bird Formation. There were less than a hundred participants, yet half of them had already comprehended second level Mandates. This was definitely an extremely terrifying number, far exceeding their understanding. Such a situation had never occurred before in any of the previous ranking battles.
In the past, those who had comprehended second level Mandates could easily rank within the top twenty, or even higher. But this year, the Heavenly Fate Rankings had changed. Not only were there less than three hundred and sixty participants remaining, the ancient luck of the Vermilion Bird Formation couldn't even contain a hundred participants. The weaker participants were all eliminated.
Those who remained were all growing stronger and stronger. Could it be that there was some kind of destiny that allowed those who remained to bathe in ancient luck?
Naturally, what the spectators paid more attention to were those who managed to find their ancient luck. Although there were still quite a few remaining, those who could monopolize the ancient luck were exceedingly few. There were only a total of nine.
Initially, Yao Jun or Peng Zhan would have a chance. However, Qin Wentian beat them to it, injuring Peng Zhan and snatching the ancient luck away. After that, there was no one else who could monopolize the ancient luck.
These nine people were: Chen Wang, Shi Potian, Si Qiong, Zhan Chen, Emperor Azure, Qin Zheng, Yun Mengyi, Mu Feng and Qin Wentian.
Although the spectators didn't know what they were experiencing, they could faintly sense that these nine would become the most dazzling contenders of the Heavenly Fate Rankings. Not only that, they might even be able to rank within the top nine.
Chen Wang, Shi Potian, Zhan Chen and Emperor Azure were all within expectations. Mu Feng was originally ranked at the top of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, so it was only natural that he would erupt in power after his temperament underwent a huge change. Si Qiong, Qin Zheng, Yun Mengyi and Qin Wentian were the four dark horses.
Naturally, other than these nine, there were also others who had their own good fortune. It was just that they were all fighting over it, and it wasn't like the nine who monopolized the ancient luck. Not only that, nobody knew what they were experiencing, and what changes would happen after they exited the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
These nine people were already extremely powerful. Even Qin Wentian, who was initially looked down upon, had domineeringly slaughtered Yang Fan and the others, and even looked down on Peng Zhan. From this, one could see how strong they were.
The strong would only grow stronger.
"Mo Qingcheng has also found her own ancient luck."
At this moment, the gazes of the spectators froze as they stared at the disappearing silhouette of Mo Qingcheng.
Mo Qingcheng became the tenth contender, yet she was different from the rest. She didn't obtain as much ancient luck as the other nine contenders, allowing the Vermilion Bird to grow stronger. Yet, she still managed to find her own ancient luck. Nobody knew why. Could it be that because she was beautiful, the Vermilion Bird Formation would take care of her? That was obviously impossible. Only Mo Qingcheng herself would know the true reason.
"Senior Tianji, how many contenders do you think will remain in the Vermilion Bird Formation for this ranking battle?" Someone in the air asked Old Man Tianji.
"The fate of Grand Xia has changed, this old man doesn't know either. However, how many contenders will remain in the Heavenly Fate Rankings? If there's only one contender left, then the Heavenly Fate Rankings will only contain one contender." Old Man Tianji slowly replied. His eyes were filled with wisdom and wisdom, and nobody knew what he was thinking.
"However, this time around, the number of contenders in the Vermilion Bird Formation is evidently much stronger compared to the previous years. This means that among these contenders, there's a high possibility that they would be able to influence the fate of Grand Xia in the future." Old Man Tianji continued, his words causing the spectators to be startled.
Fate and destiny were boundlessly mysterious. Nobody could say for sure whether or not it truly existed. However, the Venerate Heavens Sect had existed for countless years, and had always been able to peer into the constellations of the Heavens and Earth. Old Man Tianji's words couldn't be false.
"There's a beginning and end to the Heavens and Earth. The Venerate Heavens Sect has existed for countless years, and had always been able to peer into the constellations of Grand Xia. Old Man Tianji's words couldn't be false.
Old Man Tianji's words were filled with profound mysteries, nobody could understand what he meant. The various transcendent powers all had their own thoughts.
The gazes of those from the Chen Clan sharpened. One of them laughed, "Senior's words make sense. These contenders are all extraordinary, and Chen Wang was the first to obtain ancient luck. I wonder if he would be able to influence Grand Xia in the future."
This person was none other than Chen Wang's uncle, and he had high hopes for Chen Wang.
"There's no such thing as first or last." Those from the Shi Clan coldly spoke. Evidently, they weren't convinced by the words of the other party. If what Old Man Tianji said was true, that the fate of Grand Xia was about to change, and the person who could change the fate of Grand Xia was within the Vermilion Bird Formation, they would naturally rather believe that the person who could change the fate of Grand Xia was none other than their Shi Clan's Shi Potian.
"Nonsense." Those from the Hua Clan coldly snorted. Hua Shaoqing wasn't able to obtain ancient luck, they were naturally unhappy in their hearts.
Not only that, what sort of character was Hua Taixu? How could he be any weaker than these people before them? This Chen Wang was also the most dazzling character here, but in the past, when did Hua Taixu ever manage to rise up?
As long as Hua Taixu existed, Chen Wang would forever be number two.
If these contenders could change the fate of Grand Xia, what about Hua Taixu?
Those from the Hua Clan had always believed that Hua Taixu would be able to influence the future of Grand Xia, becoming an extremely important character. He would also be the key to breaking through the current limitations of their Hua Clan.
Each of them had their own thoughts, but those in the Vermilion Bird Formation naturally didn't know. Below the reefs, a fat silhouette leapt up as he howled in rage, "I, Fatty, have finally broken through to the highest level of Yuanfu!"
So it turned out that during these days, Fan Le knew that his current level of strength was too low, and so he chose to focus on his cultivation until he broke through to the eighth level of Yuanfu. After that, he consumed the Limit-break Pellet and broke through to the ninth level of Yuanfu. The pitiful Fatty still didn't know that the outside world had already undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-toppling transformation.
Filled with confidence, Fatty Fan Le no longer dodged. He was prepared to teach those in the Vermilion Bird Formation a good lesson, letting them know of Fan Le's might.
Very swiftly, Fan Le's wish was fulfilled. He met a person who had once been defeated by Qin Zheng, and was even forced to flee miserably from Mu Feng's hands. The enraged Wang Jue used his most ferocious attacks to blast Fan Le away. Fan Le had no idea what had just happened. Why was the situation different from what he had imagined?
Wasn't the genius Fan Le supposed to shake the entire Heavenly Fate Rankings? Why was he blasted away before he even had a chance to show off his skills?
However, when he exited the Vermilion Bird Formation, he seemed to have understood something.
However, why did Chen Wang, Qin Wentian, and the rest also disappear?
Qin Wentian was still in the ancient hall. Currently, his Fiend Transformation Art had finally reached the third level, the Demonic Transformation Realm.
With an intention of his will, a pair of terrifying golden-winged roc wings appeared behind Qin Wentian's back. His silhouette flickered as he appeared in front of the golden stone rampart.
At this moment, the ancient characters on the stone rampart began to transform. The golden light flashed, so blinding that Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with sharpness as he stared at the transformations on the stone rampart.
Finally, a majestic scene appeared on the stone rampart. Over there, a silhouette could be seen standing in the middle of a vast land. He was chanting, emitting a mystical melody that caused the Heavens and Earth to change color. Demonic Qi from all eight directions converged on him as Astral Light cascaded downwards. That mystical melody gradually grew louder and louder, causing the earth to tremble as the Astral Light in the skies shone resplendently.
In an instant, a boundless amount of energy bore down on this person. His body began to transform, Vermilion Bird Wings, Vermilion Bird Golden Body, Vermilion Bird Talons … Terrifying rumbling sounds rang out in Qin Wentian's ears, yet he continued chanting. Abruptly, a long cry of a Vermilion Bird rang out, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. That person soared up into the skies, transforming into a Vermilion Bird that soared up into the clouds.
"The Chant of the Demonic Divinity, Ancient Will Pierces the Heavens, Gathering Demonic Qi from all eight directions, Devouring Demonic Qi from the Starry Skies, Connecting with the Demonic Divinities of the Eight Directions, I am fated to become a demon." An ancient voice rang out in Qin Wentian's ears, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble.
This art, the Demonic Divinity Sacrificial Transformation, could transform one into a Demonic Divinity's spirit, irreversible!
