Ye Kongfan's fists glowed with the power of lightning. Earlier, he was about to accept Qin Wentian's challenge when the old man from the Violet Thunder Sect interrupted him. Could it be that the old man from the Violet Thunder Sect also felt that he, Ye Kongfan, wouldn't be able to defeat Qin Wentian at the same level of cultivation?
Before this, he felt that he was a chosen from the Violet Thunder Sect and had never considered this problem. But now that Qin Wentian came to challenge him, killing his way into the Qi King Manor, he discovered another side of himself. When facing against Qin Wentian, he actually cowered in fear.
Staring at the departing back view of Qin Wentian, Ye Kongfan couldn't help but feel a sense of carefreeness. Saying that he would challenge any Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns from the Violet Thunder Sect, wasn't this simply a provocation to Ye Kongfan?
"Coward." Another voice rang out. Ye Lingshuang stared at Ye Kongfan with disdain, "You claim to be a chosen from the Violet Thunder Sect, a genius from the Qi King Manor, yet you don't even dare to participate in a royal battle. You even dare to admit to your despicable deeds. The face of the royal clan of our Ye Country has been thrown away by you. What a shame."
After speaking, Ye Lingshuang waved her hands as she led her subordinates away. Yet in her heart, she was silently praising her Royal Father for his intelligence. The Qi King didn't want to start a war or he would have already shown himself.
In truth, everyone, including Qin Wentian, understood the situation today. The Qi King didn't want to gamble on the Human Emperor's life on the line. He would rather endure this humiliation and wait. If not, with a single command from the Qi King, the members of his faction would immediately charge into the royal palace, killing the Human Emperor and usurping the throne.
However, the Qi King didn't, he didn't even show himself. When he saw Ye Lingshuang and Shi Xuan leading their experts over, everyone would think that the Human Emperor wanted to force the Qi King to fight him head-on, wanting to retaliate before his death. Evidently, the Qi King didn't want to risk his life against the Human Emperor, hence he chose to endure. From another perspective, the Qi King could be considered a ruthless character, if it was someone who didn't have the patience to endure, they would have already started the slaughter.
However, Qin Wentian understood in his heart that the Human Emperor was still a notch higher. Today, he ordered Ye Lingshuang and Shi Xuan to lead their experts to aid him. Wasn't this a method of loosening the reins only to grasp the reins better? He had long expected that the Qi King would be afraid of a life-and-death battle, hence he didn't accept the challenge. At the same time, he could also give everyone a false impression that the Human Emperor was on the verge of death and wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.
Not too long after, the crowd retreated like the receding tides. The constellation in the sky vanished, and the stifling pressure gradually dissipated as the Qi King Manor fell into a state of silence. Ye Kongfan's countenance was extremely gloomy, his heart still hadn't calmed down. It was as though he was provoked by the words of Qin Wentian and Ye Lingshuang. He, Ye Kongfan, was someone extraordinary, yet he didn't dare to accept the royal clan's challenge. If this matter were to spread out, how would he still have the face to call himself a Heaven's Chosen?
"Kongfan, everyone has their own circumstances. You are a Heaven's Chosen of my Violet Thunder Sect, why are you doubting yourself because of a single sentence from him? That brat challenged you in anger, wanting you to suppress your cultivation base because he is inferior to you. Hence, he intentionally used such a method to infuriate you so that you would accept his challenge. However, you clearly had victory in your grasp, and killing him would be as easy as flipping your palms. Why did you accept the challenge and allow him to succeed?"
In the air, the old man from the Violet Thunder Sect continued, "Based on your strength, a month from now, you can insta-kill him in front of all the Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns. Sever his head and all doubts will vanish like smoke. A dead man, what's there to be proud of?"
Ye Kongfan's countenance stiffened. He stared at the old man from the Violet Thunder Sect as he nodded his head, "A month from now, that would be the date of his death. It's just that within this month, he challenged all the Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns of my Violet Thunder Sect. If none of us accepted his challenge, wouldn't our Violet Thunder Sect lose face?"
"Does the Violet Thunder Sect need to care about the provocation of a junior? What qualifications does he have to provoke our Violet Thunder Sect? If that's the case, wouldn't our Violet Thunder Sect be lowering our status by accepting the challenge? " The old man coldly snorted. Ye Kongfan remained silent, he didn't say anything more. Although the words of the old man were logical, but for such an arrogant challenge, if they could kill him, why wouldn't the Violet Thunder Sect do so as well?
Most probably, after this Ascendant from the Violet Thunder Sect witnessed Qin Wentian's combat prowess in the battle arena, he didn't have much confidence in the disciples of the Violet Thunder Sect. He felt that it would be extremely difficult to win against Qin Wentian at the same level unless they sent out that supreme genius whose name shook the entire Royal Sacred Region. Such a character would be the symbol of an era, they would be contending for the hegemony of an era.
Three days later, the news of Qin Wentian challenging Ye Kongfan to a battle spread throughout the vast Ancient Country. Everyone in Ye knew about this, and this was naturally because there were people who added fuel to the fire. After all, those from the Human Emperor's bloodline were extremely powerful, it was extremely easy for them to spread this news.
In fact, there were even rumors that the Human Emperor sent people to protect Qin Wentian from the Battle Sword Sect as he slaughtered his way into the Qi King Manor. Qin Wentian challenged Ye Kongfan on the battle platform but Ye Kongfan didn't dare to accept the challenge. After that, Qin Wentian arrogantly invited any Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns from the Violet Thunder Sect, yet the Violet Thunder Sect still didn't respond.
This news caused countless people to be in an uproar. All of them wanted to know who Qin Wentian was exactly. How could he be so arrogant, forcing the Violet Thunder Sect to not dare to accept the challenge, causing them to lose all face.
Many people started to investigate everything regarding Qin Wentian, and more and more news about Xuan King City was dug out. So it turned out that the first time Qin Wentian appeared was in Xuan King City of Grand Shang. In that battle, he killed many geniuses and was forcefully brought away by the Battle Sword Sect. Now, he followed the disciples of the Battle Sword Sect to Ye and was adopted by the Human Emperor as his godson. Not only that, the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley was actually a couple with him.
Not only that, it was rumored that the reason why Qin Wentian challenged Ye Kongfan was because Ye Kongfan had spread rumors about the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley. Qin Wentian angrily barged into the Qi King Manor, stating that if Ye Kongfan was cowardly and didn't dare to suppress his cultivation base for a battle, he wouldn't need Ye Kongfan to suppress his cultivation base and directly challenge him.
Qin Wentian's cultivation base was at the fourth level of Heavenly Dipper, and he also had a tyrannical bloodline. However, Ye Kongfan was at the seventh level, and he also had a terrifying Calamity Lightning Bloodline. His attacks were incomparably tyrannical. Wasn't this simply courting death? Although the spectators admired Qin Wentian's courage, wasn't this a little too irrational?
But no matter what, after this news circulated, the prestige of the Battle Sword Sect soared even higher. As for the Violet Thunder Sect, they felt as though they had lost all face. Could it be that no one in the Violet Thunder Sect was capable of killing Qin Wentian at the same level? Even if Ye Kongfan didn't suppress his cultivation base and killed Qin Wentian, it wasn't something worth bragging about.
The Violet Thunder Sect had already lost.
During these few days, Qin Wentian was in closed-door seclusion, ignoring the external affairs. Although he had issued a challenge, he knew how powerful Ye Kongfan was. Naturally, he hoped to raise his cultivation base within a month.
The Star Gathering Platform was a cultivation ground for human emperors. And now, Qin Wentian was actually sitting on it, cultivating. There were nine gigantic stone pillars surrounding the Star Gathering Platform. These stone pillars were actually carved from natural Yuan Meteor Stones, and the amount of Astral Energy contained within them could only be described as terrifying. On top of the Star Gathering Platform, there was a formation inscribed on it, with a beautiful diagram that could gather the Astral Energy within the nine stone pillars. Qin Wentian sat on top of the diagram, as though he was bathed in boundless astral light.
Qin Wentian quietly cultivated, releasing his four Astral Souls at the same time, frenziedly absorbing the Astral Energy in the surroundings. Opening his palms, he tossed a medicinal pill into his mouth.
This medicinal pill was none other than the Star Gathering Pill, it could increase his affinity with the Astral Energy within a short period of time, allowing him to absorb Astral Energy at a faster rate.
Before he entered closed-door seclusion, Mo Qingcheng had given him quite a number of medicinal pills, all of which had no side effects. For example, the Astral Gathering Pill, the Body-Augmentation Pill, the Blood Ignition Pill. All of these pills would allow him to cultivate more efficiently, further stimulating the potential of his bloodline.
After swallowing the medicinal pill, Qin Wentian didn't stop. He swallowed the Great Earth Fruit as well as the other two Constellation Fruits in his storage ring. These two Constellation Fruits that could cause one's heart to tremble were given to Mo Qingcheng.
After digesting the Great Earth Fruit, he started to consume the Constellation Fruits that contained the Great Earth Energy. Momentarily, many changes occurred within his body, and his perception of the density and pulsation of the earth grew even stronger.
Such a feeling, even Di Tian, who was far away in the Royal Tomb of Grand Xia, could feel it. After all, they were originally inseparable, and shared the same perception and comprehension.
In the Royal Tomb of Grand Xia, Di Tian stood there. At this moment, his aura was calm and tranquil, and he wielded an ancient halberd in his hands as he unceasingly executed halberd strikes, attempting to increase the power of his halberd attacks.
Ever since Qin Wentian entered the Battle Sword Sect, Di Tian had already started on his path of comprehension. Qin Wentian knew that his current level of comprehension had stopped at the first seven sword strikes. Although he could comprehend the eighth to the fourteenth sword strike, he hadn't reached that level yet. If he could step into that level, his attacks would surely be many times stronger than before.
One halberd strike after another, soundless and silent. But when the halberds landed, the space around them trembled as a terrifying shockwave rippled outwards, wanting to shatter the void.
This was Spatial Rend. His attacks already contained a terrifying lacerating energy within them, allowing him to instantly tear his opponent apart. In truth, he was using the second level insight of his Mandate of Force, the Void Shockwave. If he could further augment it with his Mandate of Demons, the might of his attacks would be even stronger. However, this was only the most basic level of augmentation, it still wasn't at the level of comprehending the eighth to the fourteenth sword strike.
After which, Qin Wentian continued to stab out with his halberd, executing the Mountain Splitter stance, Fallen Star stance, and Void Rend stance respectively. However, the power of his attacks was incomparable to before.
He tried again and again, evolving again and again. Qin Wentian always wanted to achieve the best, the strongest.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Qin Wentian was still cultivating on the Star Gathering Platform, gathering astral energy from the constellations of Heaven and Earth. Di Tian, on the other hand, was still in the Royal Tomb, comprehending insights and improving bit by bit.
In the royal palace of Ye, the atmosphere grew more and more tense. However, there was still no one from the Violet Thunder Sect who accepted the challenge. It was as the old man from the Violet Thunder Sect had said, after Ye Kongfan killed Qin Wentian, all voices would be suppressed. If they accepted the challenge and lost, it would be even more shameful for them.
In the blink of an eye, over twenty days passed. Within Qin Wentian's body, the Astral Energy from the constellations of the Violet Thunder Sect was crazily seething, akin to gigantic tidal waves that towered up to the skies.
Within the Royal Tomb, Di Tian sat on the ground as a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes. He still had no way to achieve this. Such a creative attack was simply too difficult!
