When Qin Wentian heard Yun Mengyi whispering in his ears, his heart involuntarily trembled. She had actually grasped the oracular chant to summon the Heavenly Stele. Could it be that what she said was true, that she was Princess Tianyu of Grand Xia?
A low voice drifted into Qin Wentian's ears. Yun Mengyi's lips moved as a cryptic incantation floated into Qin Wentian's mind. Such a scene was extremely intimate, causing the two beauties not far away to glare at them.
"Sister Qingcheng, how can you not be jealous?" Bai Qing mischievously spoke, as though she was trying to sow discord between them.
Mo Qingcheng glared at Qin Wentian and Yun Mengyi with hidden bitterness, causing the hearts of those who looked at her to ache.
"I can't endure it." Bai Qing smiled. Mo Qingcheng stared at her as she laughed, "Qing`er lass, go ahead and rejoice in my misfortune."
The gazes of many in the crowd shifted over. Many of them were filled with envy for Qin Wentian. Not only was his talent outstanding, he was also surrounded by beauties.
What was even more terrifying was that these beauties weren't simple at all.
Mo Qingcheng, the number one beauty in the Moon Continent, the Heaven's Chosen of the Pill Emperor Hall, and Qin Wentian's lover.
Bai Qing, for the sake of Qin Wentian, was willing to endure a palm strike from him, even disregarding her own life. From this, one could see how deep her feelings for Qin Wentian were. Not only that, she was also a Heaven's Chosen from the Mystic Moon Hall.
Yun Mengyi, similarly, was ranked within the top ten of the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
These three beauties could be said to be the most dazzling and outstanding ones in the Heavenly Fate Rankings, and all three of them actually had a connection with Qin Wentian. How could the crowd not be envious?
"There's another secret I want to tell you. It's about the Purgatory Vermilion Bird above your head." After Yun Mengyi finished imparting the incantation, she continued speaking to Qin Wentian, "You are the first person to enter the Vermilion Bird Formation. The spirit of the Vermilion Bird Formation bestowed upon you the Purgatory Vermilion Bird. As you grow stronger, the Purgatory Vermilion Bird will also grow stronger, gaining sentience. Hence, the Purgatory Vermilion Bird will unceasingly devour the ancient luck of others until the very end, it will be able to summon the true spirit of the Vermilion Bird Formation. This is the benefit of being the first to enter the formation."
Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with sharpness. Yun Mengyi actually knew so much? Even if she wasn't Princess Tianyu, there was no doubt that she was related to the ancient kingdom. This caused Qin Wentian to gradually believe in her.
The Vermilion Bird Formation was a formation that even the transcendent powers had no way to see through. It was the number one training ground for Yuanfu cultivators in Grand Xia, yet Yun Mengyi actually knew of its secrets.
"Before this, everyone only wanted to be the first to enter the formation, but they didn't know the secrets within. You've obtained the first position, and your efforts weren't in vain. Your Vermilion Bird Spirit is connected to your heart and soul. If you want it to die, it will do so without hesitation." After speaking, Yun Mengyi turned and departed.
An expression of contemplation appeared on Qin Wentian's face as he stared at her departing back. After which, he inclined his head and stared at the Purgatory Vermilion Bird in the air.
The body of the Purgatory Vermilion Bird grew even larger, exuding a terrifying aura. A strand of will appeared in Qin Wentian's heart, and momentarily, the Purgatory Vermilion Bird seemed to understand his intentions. It slowly landed in front of him and rubbed its head against his body.
"You're already a lifeform, how about becoming my companion in the future?" Qin Wentian sighed. The Vermilion Bird's spirit was already a spiritual body, it already possessed life.
The Purgatory Vermilion Bird was incomparably excited when it heard Qin Wentian's words. After which, it soared into the air, circling above Qin Wentian's head as it let out a few cries of excitement. After which, it returned to Qin Wentian's embrace, appearing exceptionally quiet.
Qin Wentian gently stroked the feathers of the Purgatory Vermilion Bird as a gentle smile appeared on his face. Inclining his head, he smiled radiantly at Mo Qingcheng and Bai Qing as they walked over.
At this moment, the demonic young man was filled with a sense of tranquility. His smile was sincere and radiant, completely different from the demonic and violent demonic aura he had displayed on the arena platform.
"It's about to begin."
Mo Qingcheng sat beside Qin Wentian, swinging her legs as she leaned against Qin Wentian's arm.
In her heart, a faint trace of worry could be seen.
Would Qin Wentian be able to retreat unscathed from the ranking battle? She could only hope that nothing bad would happen to him.
"Mhm, it's about to begin." Qin Wentian spoke in a light voice. The two of them leaned against each other, this scene was like a scene straight out of a painting, causing people to not be able to bear to disturb them.
Over the horizon, the sun gradually set. Rainbow-Colored clouds floated in the air, creating a dazzling scene.
"How beautiful," Mo Qingcheng murmured.
"Mhm, just like the winter snow, beautiful and warm." Qin Wentian's face was filled with a gentle smile.
The two of them were like an immortal couple.
"Qin Wentian."
A voice drifted over. Si Qiong's silhouette appeared on the arena platform. His gaze was filled with coldness as he stared at Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng.
Qin Wentian dared to disregard him, arrogantly declaring that he would face Chen Wang head-on? Where did this place him, Si Qiong, stand?
The spectators stared at Si Qiong, they could feel the intense battle intent radiating from him.
Were the two dark horses about to clash?
Before this, Si Qiong had always been regarded as the strongest dark horse.
But now, Qin Wentian had slain Zhan Chen, challenging him to a duel.
Next, the two most dazzling dark horses in the Heavenly Fate Rankings would face off against each other.
Who would be the strongest dark horse?
Qin Wentian slowly stood up, smiling at Mo Qingcheng. After which, he turned and walked out, instantly appearing on the arena platform. Above his head, the Purgatory Vermilion Bird let out a shrill cry as a baleful light shot towards Si Qiong and the Vermilion Bird behind him, exuding a tyrannical aura.
"Your Vermilion Bird ancient luck seems to be afraid." Qin Wentian casually stood there. The current him gave off a different feeling, as though the moment this delicate-looking young man erupted with power, he would be extremely terrifying.
"It's just ancient luck, it's not that important. But since you rejected the exchange, I really want to see what's in your memories." Si Qiong coldly spoke. He was proficient in soul attacks, and one of his soul attacks was the Soulsearch Art. The first time he used it, was against Mu Feng, but he failed and was poisoned.
This time around, he wanted to search Qin Wentian's soul.
"In that case, let's fight."
Qin Wentian faintly spoke. At this instant, a light breeze drifted past, fluttering the robes of the two of them. The entire space was incomparably silent.
This was the battle for the position of the strongest dark horse. If Si Qiong won, he would be ranked # 2. If Qin Wentian won, he would fight against Chen Wang for the position of the top ranker.
Qin Wentian stretched out his palms as demonic qi enveloped them. His arms transformed into the arms of a kirin, glowing with a crimson light as a terrifying roar echoed out.
After stepping into the ninth level of Yuanfu, how strong would Qin Wentian be?
Even Qin Wentian himself didn't know. He hadn't unleashed his full strength yet.
Fiend Transformation Art, second level Mandate of Demons, second level Mandate of Force, stacking the power of his primordial demonic bloodline, in addition to the Divine Energy in his body as well as the amplification from his Astral Souls, what level would his strength reach?
Even he himself didn't know.
"Kacha!" A crisp sound rang out as the Divine Energy in Qin Wentian's Yuanfu started to tremble violently.
Although he was still standing there, he gave off a feeling of strength.
A demonic wind gusted as a pair of demonic wings appeared on Qin Wentian's back. With the Fiend Transformation Art, he could condense demonic wings with just a single thought.
Si Qiong felt the pressure as his Astral Souls erupted forth. His first Astral Soul was a wind-type Astral Soul, his second was a coiling water python, and his third was an evil soul. Not only that, based on the luster of his three Astral Souls, it was clear that they originated from the 4th Heavenly Layer, 4th Heavenly Layer and 5th Heavenly Layer respectively!
"How terrifying!" The hearts of the spectators trembled. In terms of Astral Souls, there weren't many who could be compared to Si Qiong.
"You want to defeat me? Have you ever seen such an Astral Soul before?" Si Qiong's lips moved again as a soul-sucking melody permeated the air, unceasingly seeping into Qin Wentian's ears. If one's soul was shaken, how could one fight? His evil soul stared at Qin Wentian, wanting to affect Qin Wentian's soul as well.
"BOOM!"
In the center of Qin Wentian's brows, a third eye opened as a resplendent light flashed. His third Astral Soul was unleashed, it was the Demon Sovereign Astral Soul.
At the instant his Astral Soul was released, a terrifying golden light circulated, causing the hearts of the spectators to tremble.
"As expected of the number one ranked Demon Sovereign Astral Soul in the Warbeast Index."
The hearts of the spectators trembled. They had personally witnessed Qin Wentian unleashing his Demon Sovereign Astral Soul within the Vermilion Bird Formation.
"5th Heavenly Layer." Si Qiong furrowed his brows. But so what of it? For the top rankers on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, their third Astral Souls originated from the 5th Heavenly Layer.
"BOOM!"
Qin Wentian took another step forward as he released his Great Dreams Astral Soul. A resplendent light flashed in the eyes of the spectators, causing their hearts to tremble.
"5th Heavenly Layer."
Qin Wentian's second Astral Soul was also condensed from the 5th Heavenly Layer, causing Si Qiong to feel drowsy. If it wasn't for his strong will, ordinary Yuanfu cultivators would have already fallen asleep under the pressure of this domain, allowing themselves to be trampled upon.
"What a terrifying Astral Soul, how strong is his perception?" The hearts of the spectators trembled. Qin Wentian's second Astral Soul was already from the 5th Heavenly Layer.
"Frog at the bottom of a well."
Qin Wentian spat out, causing Si Qiong's countenance to turn incredibly unsightly. As the sound of his voice faded, he was ruthlessly slapped across the face by Qin Wentian.
"Let me show you what an Astral Soul is."
Qin Wentian took another step forward as his first Astral Soul, the Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul, appeared. The light it emitted caused the hearts of the spectators to palpitate uncontrollably.
Three Astral Souls from the 5th Heavenly Layer. What concept was this?
Ever since Qin Wentian stepped onto the path of cultivation, he was already able to condense an Astral Soul from the 5th Heavenly Layer?
How was this possible? How could he, Qin Wentian, accomplish this?
Bai Qingsong and Autumn Snow, who were in the crowd, were also stunned. So it turned out that when Qin Wentian showed them his third Astral Soul, it was because he didn't want it to be too shocking.
"Have you seen it before?"
Qin Wentian spat out a single word. Si Qiong only felt that this slap was extremely resounding.
However, at this moment, Qin Wentian's silhouette disappeared.
"Peng!"
At the instant Qin Wentian moved, Si Qiong executed Stellar Transposition and fled. However, he only saw Qin Wentian instantly changing directions. Like a bolt of lightning, he stabbed out with a single finger. Instantly, a terrifying storm of demonic qi engulfed the entire space, completely enveloping it.
As the finger descended, everything in the air transformed into demonic sword light, descending upon Si Qiong with terrifying speed. The entire space seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, transforming into a black hole made of swords. The energy of the entire Heavens and Earth were all sucked into the black hole. Although it seemed slow, it only took an instant for the sword light to reach Si Qiong.
Si Qiong's countenance turned pale. His attack, defense, and speed were all extremely terrifying. For his soul attacks, he had the Water Armor for defense. However, in terms of strength, he was still lacking. This was also the reason why he was defeated by Chen Wang. And at this moment, Qin Wentian didn't make a move. But when he did, it was earth-shattering. With a single finger, the black hole formed of swords pierced towards Si Qiong's heart.
No matter how fast Si Qiong's speed was, no matter how strong his soul attacks were, no matter how powerful his Water Armor was, there was no way he could defend against this terrifying attack.
Maybe Chen Wang could use his most violent attacks to counter it, but Si Qiong couldn't.
"BOOM!" A resplendent stream of light flashed as Si Qiong's body was clad in a water screen armor. This armor was formless, akin to water that draped over his body.
The sword light from the black hole landed on Si Qiong's body, causing him to be flung through the air. The Purgatory Vermilion Bird had devoured his ancient luck.
"Si Qiong actually broke the rules and used a Divine Weapon."
"That Divine Weapon is formless and formless. Si Qiong must have come from a terrifying power, using it to protect his life at the critical moment."
Seeing Si Qiong's body being blasted off the platform, Qin Wentian's countenance was calm as he glanced at him. A hint of mockery could be heard in his voice, "Can't even withstand a single strike, using a Divine Weapon to protect his life. How pitiful."
However, Qin Wentian understood that given Si Qiong's background, even if he broke the rules, Old Man Tianji and the rest wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Hence, Qin Wentian no longer looked at Si Qiong. He shifted his gaze onto Chen Wang.
His eyes were like sharp swords, piercing through space, landing on Chen Wang. "It's your turn!"
