Ninth level of Yuanfu.
Qin Wentian's cultivation base wasn't at the eighth level, but rather, the ninth.
Chen Wang, Si Qiong, and Zhan Chen had all been concealing their true strength. Qin Wentian, on the other hand, had been concealing his cultivation base. Only at this moment, when everyone thought that the victor had already been decided and the curtains of the ranking battle were about to fall, did he step out.
Only now did the spectators realize that before this, no one had been able to force Chen Wang and Si Qiong to use their full strength. Similarly, no one had been able to force Qin Wentian to use his full strength.
At this moment, the spectators couldn't help but to recall the arrogance Qin Wentian displayed when he fought against Emperor Azure. He was absolutely confident that he could defeat Emperor Azure in ten breaths of time, because he knew that his cultivation base wasn't at the eighth level, but the ninth.
"When did he step into the ninth level of Yuanfu?"
At this moment, a question popped up in the minds of the spectators. When the ranking battle started, Qin Wentian was definitely at the seventh level of Yuanfu. There was no doubt about this. He was forced into the cave by Chen Wang, and after he came out, he was already at the eighth level of Yuanfu. But when did he step into the ninth level?
Not only that, it hadn't been too long since the Heavenly Fate Rankings had started, yet Qin Wentian had already broken through two levels. Although the geniuses of the Heavenly Fate Rankings had all undergone some transformations, Qin Wentian's transformation was still too terrifying.
Mo Qingcheng and Bai Qing stood together. At this moment, Bai Qing had already removed her long robes, revealing her graceful and beautiful figure. Every time the spectators saw her, they would all sigh in amazement. They didn't dare to believe that such a beautiful woman would actually cultivate such a tyrannical devil art.
"Wentian gege is so powerful, he's actually at the ninth level of Yuanfu."
"He promised that he would defeat Zhan Chen, he would definitely do it." Mo Qingcheng had a smile on her face. It seemed like her limit-break pellets weren't wasted. As long as Qin Wentian defeated Zhan Chen, her master, Luo He, wouldn't obstruct him anymore.
Those from the White Deer Institute couldn't help but to exclaim in admiration. Never would they have imagined that Qin Wentian would be able to reach this step. Not only that, he was only a single step away from achieving what they wanted Qin Wentian to do.
Although Zhan Chen had a terrifying secret art, would Qin Wentian, who was at the ninth level of Yuanfu be defeated?
For some reason, although Qin Wentian was facing Zhan Chen, no one was optimistic about Zhan Chen's chances. Everyone's confidence was all placed on Qin Wentian.
Naturally, they had reason to believe in Qin Wentian. When Qin Wentian was at the eighth level of Yuanfu, he was able to conceal his true strength. This indicated that he had been suppressing his own strength in the earlier battles. Now that he had broken through to the next level, all the power he could erupt with would be amplified. This was a power that was completely under his control, it wasn't a secret technique.
"Zhan Chen, what do you have to fight me?" Qin Wentian's voice was ice cold as he lunged towards Zhan Chen. "When you were at the peak of Yuanfu, I was only at the low-level of Yuanfu. You aren't even qualified to stand with me on the arena platform."
Zhan Chen's countenance stiffened as he stared at Qin Wentian. How did he do it? He actually broke through to the ninth level of Yuanfu? This caused Zhan Chen to feel an immense pressure bearing down on him.
If he was defeated by Qin Wentian, what glory would he have left?
His goal was to slay Qin Wentian on the Heavenly Fate Ranking platform.
Chen Wang didn't understand, he remembered that Qin Wentian's cultivation base was at the seventh level of Yuanfu.
"When did you step into the ninth level of Yuanfu?" Chen Wang coldly asked. Qin Wentian swept a glance at him, the coldness in his eyes was as cold as ever. "I have to thank you for hunting me down. If not, I wouldn't have been able to step into the ninth level so quickly."
Chen Wang had chased Qin Wentian within the Vermilion Bird Formation Grounds, forcing him into the cave. After which, Hua Feng, Situ Po, and Yang Fan waited for him outside the cave, humiliating him and even insulting Mo Qingcheng. Qin Wentian's rage towered to the heavens, and in a fit of rage, he was prepared to consume the Limit-break Pellet. At that time, his Yuanfu started to rumble, showing signs of breaking through on its own.
Hence, Qin Wentian endured it. He didn't consume the Limit-break Pellet at that time, relying on his own strength to break through to the eighth level of Yuanfu.
After which, he impatiently barged into the cave and slaughtered Orfon and the rest in the most tyrannical manner possible.
As for how he broke through to the ninth level of Yuanfu, it was because he had entered the cave of the Demonic Divinity Sacrificial Transformation, and had also consumed the Limit-break Pellet.
Qin Wentian didn't reply to Chen Wang's question. He stared at him for a moment before coldly replying, "Let's hope that you, the 'top ranker' of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, will be able to last until the end. If not, you will lose face in front of the entire Grand Xia."
"Do you really think that just because you've broken through to the ninth level of Yuanfu, you have the qualifications to contend against me?" Disdain flickered in Chen Wang's eyes. How could Qin Wentian's breakthrough in cultivation be able to shake his position?
"Let's finish the battle with Zhan Chen first. You can fantasize about it later. To me, it doesn't matter if you hide your cultivation or not."
Chen Wang, who was standing beside Qin Wentian, slowly spoke as he walked down the arena platform.
He needed to recover his strength. Earlier, he had paid a heavy price to defeat Si Qiong. Currently, the Astral Energy in his body was almost completely depleted.
Si Qiong flicked his sleeves as he similarly walked down the arena platform.
In the blink of an eye, only two people remained on the arena platform.
Zhan Chen, Qin Wentian.
Would this battle be the final battle for the Heavenly Fate Rankings? As long as Zhan Chen won, the ranking battle would be over.
Before Qin Wentian revealed his strength at the ninth level of Yuanfu, the spectators initially thought that this would be the final battle. But now, they couldn't help but be filled with anticipation. Maybe, the Heavenly Fate Rankings would continue.
"I've already thought of a way to survive, why haven't I acted yet?" Qin Wentian stared at Zhan Chen. Earlier, Zhan Chen's arrogant words made Qin Wentian think carefully about how he should survive the upcoming battles.
Zhan Chen's body was clad in a golden armor. His lips trembled as he closed his eyes, summoning the Will of the Ancient.
"Bzzz!" A raging wind gusted as a pair of wings unfurled on Qin Wentian's back. His silhouette abruptly vanished, and with a speed akin to lightning, he instantly appeared in front of Zhan Chen.
With a single palm strike, the entire space trembled as the roar of a dragon shook the heavens and earth. Zhan Chen abruptly opened his eyes as he slashed out with his sword. However, under the terrifying might of Qin Wentian's attack, his sword was completely destroyed.
"BOOM!"
An immense force slammed into Zhan Chen, causing him to be flung through the air. His countenance paled as he coughed out fresh blood.
Strength, this was an absolute suppression of strength.
With his cultivation base at the ninth level of Yuanfu, Qin Wentian's Astral Energy was condensed into an attack. In addition to his Mandate of Force and Mandate of Demons, the power of his attack was unimaginable.
Just a single strike had caused Zhan Chen to spit out blood.
"You …" Zhan Chen floated in the air, his sharp eyes staring at Qin Wentian, his countenance ashen.
"Don't tell me you think that I should just stand here and wait for you to use your secret art before we fight?" An intense killing intent flickered in Qin Wentian's eyes, piercing through Zhan Chen's own. "This battle is a battle of life and death."
As the sound of his voice faded, his silhouette vanished once again. The third eye in the center of his brows swept past Zhan Chen as a terrifying will of Mandate gushed forth. The golden light radiating from Zhan Chen's body grew even more intense as a ruthless light flickered in his eyes. At the instant he closed his eyes, a surge of energy that didn't belong to him pulsed within him.
"No matter what secret art you have, you won't have the chance to use it anymore."
A voice directly penetrated into Zhan Chen's mind. At this moment, Zhan Chen could already see Qin Wentian's tyrannical palm strike gushing towards him. Lifting his hands, he slashed out with his sword.
However, Qin Wentian transformed into a myriad of illusory images that attacked him. Zhan Chen's sword slashed out in a frenzy as the aura emanating from him grew increasingly terrifying.
But at this moment, not many people were paying attention to Zhan Chen. They were all staring at Qin Wentian.
Because, Zhan Chen's sword slashed out in a haphazard manner while Qin Wentian quietly stood in the air, his eyes gleaming with a hint of playfulness.
This caused the spectators to be filled with disbelief. Was this really a battle between Zhan Chen and Qin Wentian?
Why was there such a dramatic turn of events?
"If one's heart is in chaos, how can one's will be so firm? How can one differentiate between reality and illusion?" Qin Wentian mumbled. Zhan Chen's strength wasn't so weak, but fear had already filled his heart. Hence, when Qin Wentian unleashed his second level Mandate of Dreams, the Mandate of Dreamwill, Zhan Chen naturally believed it to be real, unable to differentiate between reality and illusion.
This was similar to the time when he fought against Shi Potian. He used his speed to unleash frenzied attacks, but in the end, Shi Potian was enraged and frustrated. After that, Qin Wentian didn't attack, only unleashing his will. Yet, what he saw was still a sky full of attacks.
The Mandate of Dreams was even more tyrannical compared to the Mandate of Illusions. It could cause one to sink into a dreamscape, unable to extricate themselves.
A raging wind gusted by as Qin Wentian's silhouette vanished once again. Zhan Chen's sword slashed down, but in that instant, he seemed to have sensed something. A terrifying light flashed in his eyes as he stared at Qin Wentian.
"Your life, I'll take it."
A cold voice rang out. Qin Wentian violently blasted out with a palm strike, causing the entire space to tremble violently. The spectators froze, only to hear a deafening rumble as an incomparably violent force destroyed everything in its path. Zhan Chen's body was destroyed, and his head exploded.
Qin Wentian, in the most tyrannical manner possible, killed Zhan Chen.
Just like what he said, Zhan Chen's life was taken by him.
In the Heavenly Fate Rankings battle, the Heaven's Chosen of the Pill Emperor Hall, Zhan Chen, died in the hands of Qin Wentian.
Such a scene was too shocking to the spectators, causing their hearts to be unable to calm down.
In the air, at the place where Zhan Chen died, a golden orb could be seen flickering with a strange light. Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with a cold light as he grabbed out with his palms, causing a terrifying energy to envelop the orb.
"Bzzz!" An intense struggle erupted forth from the golden orb, causing Qin Wentian to snort. This should be the reason why Zhan Chen was acting strangely. Back then, the Gold-Element Ancient Scroll he had tossed away wasn't anything good.
"Extinguish!" Qin Wentian's finger landed, as a scream of agony rang out in the air. Instantly, the golden orb was destroyed, vanishing without a trace.
"This …"
The expressions of the spectators froze as they witnessed this scene. Even the experts in the hallway narrowed their eyes. That golden orb seemed to have a life of its own, and Qin Wentian didn't hesitate at all, directly destroying it with a single finger.
Qin Wentian's decisiveness was terrifying, just like when he killed Zhan Chen, he didn't hesitate at all.
He had a grudge with Zhan Chen, and if he wanted Zhan Chen to die, he wouldn't hesitate at all. He only knew that Zhan Chen had to die.
Hence, he killed him!
