Qin Wentian stared at Di Shi's silhouette, his pitch-black eyes flashing with a hint of wariness. Although he had a deep comprehension of the innate techniques within the first stone monument, he didn't dare to underestimate the era-suppressing genius, Di Shi.
Earlier when he entered the second row, he saw Di Shi standing before the third row. He used seven days to comprehend three of the stone monuments, yet he still couldn't bear to continue forward. Evidently, he also sensed that he needed more time to comprehend the energy within the stone monuments. Since he chose to kill his way here at this moment, he naturally didn't come with good intentions.
The astral energy transformed into a golden screen of light, causing Qin Wentian's body to be enveloped in a layer of golden light. His entire body was akin to a great roc, exuding a tyrannical aura.
The first stone monument was to allow him to better comprehend the energy within it, allowing him to borrow the unique energy within to transform into a golden-winged great roc. But since he had already separated himself from the first stone monument, it was impossible for him to transform into a great roc. Not only that, he could only use the energy within the stone monuments. He tried to use other methods but discovered that they were all useless.
But even if it was just an illusory golden light, Qin Wentian's silhouette still resembled a lofty great roc, exuding an intense sharpness.
A demonic wind flickered around Di Shi, exuding a sinister coldness that unceasingly buffeted Qin Wentian.
"Bzzz!" The raging wind howled, Di Shi stepped out towards Qin Wentian in a domineering manner, akin to a true monarch. Stretching out his palms, his fingers were like hooks, grabbing towards Qin Wentian. Instantly, an incomparably fearsome golden claw directly tore through Qin Wentian's body. This claw was incomparably gigantic, akin to the claws of a ferocious bird, capable of tearing humans into pieces.
Qin Wentian's entire body shone with a resplendent golden light as he arced through the air in a beautiful arc, directly evading this attack. His speed actually surpassed Di Shi's.
The raging wind howled, Di Shi's eyes were ice cold as he chased after Qin Wentian. His five fingers struck out unceasingly, and in an instant, the terrifying claws of a ferocious bird tore through everything, unceasingly aiming for Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian continued evading. At the same time, his golden wings flapped outwards, seemingly indestructible, unceasingly slicing apart the claws aiming for him. At the same time, his palms slammed out unceasingly as a gigantic claw, even larger than Qin Wentian, wanting to envelop Qin Wentian. However, it was shattered by the golden light Wentian. Qin Wentian's palm. of Qin. Although that attack wasn't as tyrannical as Di Shi's claw,, Qin Wentian, it.
"Qin Wentian is actually able to defend against Di Shi's attack." The eyes of the spectators all flashed with similar expressions. Although Qin Wentian was at a disadvantage, relying on his speed to evade as well as his powerful attacks to shatter Di Shi's pressure, this still caused many to be shocked. Because in terms of single-target attacks, Qin Wentian's attacks were clearly stronger than Di Shi's. How could this not cause the spectators to be shocked?
After a short exchange, Qin Wentian already knew where his advantage lay. Facing against Di Shi's frenzied attacks, he actually used his speed and attack advantage to counterattack. He no longer retreated, but instead, directly attacked in Di Shi's direction. One after another, the gigantic claws of the ferocious bird were shattered by Qin Wentian's attacks. Qin Wentian's body unceasingly pressed closer to Di Shi.
Such a battle situation caused many to have strange expressions on their faces. Qin Wentian was facing against one of the eight era-suppressing geniuses, Di Shi, yet he actually counterattacked?
"As expected of Di Shi. He comprehended three different innate techniques within seven days, and he could even cultivate both his attack and speed innate techniques to such a level. He truly isn't someone ordinary people can compare to. It's just that that fellow only comprehended a single type of energy within seven days, causing his attack to be able to dominate any of Di Shi's individual techniques. If it was me instead of Di Shi, I'm afraid I would have been defeated by that fellow very quickly." Lin Xian`er stared at the battlefield as she spoke in a low voice. Princess Jiao Yang who was not far away nodded her head in agreement. She was insta-killed by Qin Wentian in a single strike.
"Di Shi has comprehended the power of three monuments, but he hasn't unleashed his full power yet." Princess Jiao Yang replied to Lin Xian`er through the air. In her heart, she was wondering if this fellow who insta-killed him would be able to deal with Di Shi's attacks.
Just when Qin Wentian was about to reach Di Shi, resplendent runic lights abruptly flashed. Di Shi's entire body radiated a dazzling light as astral light erupted forth. Di Shi's body seemed to split into multiple incarnations of Di Shi, all of them simultaneously unleashing a powerful attack. In that instant, the power of the spatial lacerations blasted towards Qin Wentian, blotting out the skies as their might shook the heavens.
"It's over." Many in the crowd silently mused when they saw this.
Qin Wentian, who was only an inch away from Di Shi, was also stunned. However, his reaction speed was extremely fast, and he didn't stop his advance. That pair of illusory golden wings arced through the air in a perfect arc, twisting and turning. His control and reaction speed in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint caused everyone to sigh in admiration. At the same instant, golden light filled the skies, enveloping his body. At the instant the first attack landed on him, the golden roc borrowed the recoil force to soar up into the skies.
"Peng, peng, peng!" Numerous attacks landed on Qin Wentian, yet it only caused Qin Wentian's speed to increase. The follow-up attacks simply couldn't keep up with the speed of Qin Wentian's roc form.
Qin Wentian soared through the air in a beautiful arc. Groaning in misery, even his original body coughed out a mouthful of blood. However, the eyes of his incarnation grew even sharper as he stared at Di Shi. It seemed like this battle wasn't going to be an easy one.
Qin Wentian wasn't so arrogant as to think that he would be invincible just by relying on his comprehension of the first stone monument. Stopping before the first stone monument was already a form of risk in itself. Maybe if he was like Di Shi from the start, he wouldn't be weaker than Di Shi. However, this was his own choice, and he didn't regret it.
Di Shi couldn't help but to furrow his brows when he failed to destroy Qin Wentian earlier. After which, he continued pressing towards Qin Wentian, unceasingly unleashing his strongest attacks. However, the already prepared Qin Wentian relied on his advantage in speed and single-target attacks to forcefully fight against Di Shi. Unless Di Shi exploded out with an attack as powerful as the one earlier, he wouldn't be able to destroy Qin Wentian.
Finally, Di Shi gave up. He retracted his will and started to comprehend the energy within the first stone monument. The diagram in the air vanished as the battle between the two returned to a state of silence. Such an ending caused the spectators on the floating bridges to be in an uproar.
Di Shi actually failed to kick Qin Wentian out of the competition.
Shang Tong's countenance changed. There was astonishment, heaviness, and reluctance. He was annihilated under Ji Feixue's attack, but Qin Wentian, who was on the same level as Ji Feixue, didn't suffer a crushing defeat. What did this mean? Shang Tong wasn't willing to admit it.
Lin Xian`er's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, as well as anticipation.
Princess Jiao Yang heaved a sigh of relief. Qin Wentian having such an ability would make her feel a little better in her heart, allowing her to accept the crushing defeat she had suffered against Qin Wentian.
However, all of this seemed to have nothing to do with that young man. Qin Wentian still didn't launch any attacks. It was as though he had always been like this, silently comprehending the energy within the second stone monument. That was a terrifying energy that could pluck constellations from the heavens. He could see a blurry silhouette in the air, clad in astral armor. Intense runic lights flashed in his palms, as though he was speaking of words, yet also seemed corporeal. He brazenly unleashed an attack that could invade the heavens and destroy the constellations.
This type of attack was somewhat similar to the Star-Seizing Palm Imprint of the Star-Seizing Manor back then. However, the might of this attack couldn't be mentioned in the same breath. It was also somewhat similar to Di Shi's earlier claw attack. However, Di Shi's attack was more demonic and fiendish, while the energy before his eyes was more pure and heavy.
"It's actually an attack unleashed using the Spiritual Refinement Method." Qin Wentian felt shock in his heart. He had never given up on the cultivation of the Spiritual Refinement Method. This was also the reason why he could easily jump levels to fight against those stronger than him. However, the attack before his eyes had traces of the Spiritual Refinement Method in it. That resplendent runic light condensed in his palms seemed to be formed from Divine Energy. Although it was similar, it wasn't as profound as the Spiritual Refinement Method.
Before each of the stone monuments, the number of geniuses present grew fewer and fewer. Those extremely famous characters were all eliminated one after another, including Qin Wentian's senior apprentice brother Duan Han. As for Gu Liufeng, he had already arrived before the fifth stone monument.
The speed at which the geniuses comprehended the stone monuments slowed down, as though they had realized something. Or perhaps, they had gained some enlightenment from the battle between Di Shi and Qin Wentian.
The eight era-suppressing geniuses were all still present, as though they were announcing to everyone that they were as outstanding as ever. Only the interlude between Di Shi and Qin Wentian caused the hearts of the geniuses to tremble, causing no one else to continue challenging Qin Wentian.
Right now, there were only less than twenty people remaining before the stone monuments. This caused the hearts of those on the floating bridges to pound. Maybe not too long later, the top ten rankers of the Immortal Martial Realm would be revealed. Most probably, the spectators in the outside world were all waiting with bated breaths, anticipating the arrival of that moment.
But regardless of how tranquil the outside world was, all of this had nothing to do with Qin Wentian who was focused on comprehending his newfound strength. He only knew that his goal was to advance steadily and steadily, increasing his strength.
If he was fortunate enough to be the last one remaining, he would naturally be extremely happy. At the very least, he would be able to answer to his brothers who had assisted him in his battles. At the same time, he would also be able to put a smile on the face of that flawless and pure figure who had been waiting outside the Immortal Martial Realm.
Seven days later, Qin Wentian, who had defeated two opponents, had no obstructions as he walked towards the third row of stone monuments. This time around, he actually chose the stone monument which Di Shi had chosen before. Such a situation undoubtedly caused the eyes of many to widen as they stared at the young man who left a deep impression in their hearts.
Right now, there were only twelve people remaining before the stone monuments. This young man who fought against Di Shi and didn't lose, as long as two more people were eliminated, he would become a dark horse and become one of the top ten rankers of the Immortal Martial Realm.
At this moment, outside the Immortal Martial Realm, that beautiful silhouette whom Qin Wentian had been longing for in his heart was still standing among the crowd from the Medicine Sovereign Valley. Her beautiful countenance was filled with nervousness, and her tender little hands were clenched tightly the moment she saw Qin Wentian's name on the stone monument.
Staring at the floating words, she didn't care what Qin Wentian's ranking would be. She only hoped that when he stepped out of the Immortal Martial Realm, he would still be as perfect as before!
