Chapter 1998 - Changes to the Situation

Qin Wentian directly walked towards the Thunder Clan Leader, he was brimming with cold killing intent. A terrifying spacetime dao wind gusted by, sealing the surroundings of the Thunder Clan’s experts within.

“Kill!” Jun Mengchen and the others stepped out, moving towards the deities of the Thunder Clan. Their eyes flickered with intense killing intent. Once, the Thunder Clan’s experts were extremely brazen, even surrounding Qin Wentian’s loved ones, wanting to kill the males and capture the females. Now, the Thunder Clan leader said that they only killed a few members of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect? How ridiculous was that.

Jun Mengchen’s punch contained the force of an entire world, causing the entire area to tremble under his might. Destructive waves of might spread out, adding to the destruction of the Thunder Clan.

Little Rascal stretched out his claws. He has transformed into a giant astral beast. His claws contained a terrifying devouring might and when he swiped down, huge portions of the Thunder Clan’s territory were being devoured into the devouring space around his claws. The scene was like how he devoured the Ziwei Divine Court back then.

Down below, screams rang out unceasingly. It was unknown how many people died. The vast Thunder Clan soon became a gigantic ruin. After the divine formation was broken, how could the Thunder Clan have the ability to contend against the army of deities brought here by Qin Wentian?

Back then, the various hegemonic powers joined forces to attack the Heaven Vault and failed. Now, they had to face the Heaven Vault’s revenge one by one, it was easy to imagine what the situation was like. Without allies, none of the hegemonic powers would be able to stand against the full strength of the Heaven Vault.

The Thunder Clan Leader said earlier that they only killed a few members of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. From this, one could see how arrogant he was, treating the members of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect as ants. But in the eyes of Qin Wentian, wasn’t he an ant as well? His life couldn’t even be compared to the members of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. Hence, his fate was already decided.

The screams of misery continued. The Thunder Clan Leader roared madly, but he was completely suppressed by Qin Wentian. Layers of space stacked upon each other, with each exchange of blows, his confidence would weaken. Although he was wielding a supreme divine weapon, he had no way to block Qin Wentian’s attack. In terms of heavenly dao comprehension, Qin Wentian’s insights have already surpassed him.

With a loud howl, the Thunder Clan Leader brandished his hammer and broke past all restrictions, flying towards Qin Wentian before slamming down with his divine weapon. In front of Qin Wentian, a terrifying tempest manifested. Qin Wentian grabbed out with his hands, casing a terrifying spacetime crack to appear in the air. With a wave of his hand, the crack widened and appeared before the Thunder Clan Leader. The Thunder Clan Leader sensed that something was wrong and wanted to evade this.

“Timestop.” A cold voice rang out from Qin Wentian’s mouth. In an instant, this entire spacetime entered a state of absolute stillness. The Thunder Clan Leader could no longer move. The blood in his veins also stopped. The terrifying crackling and rumbling sounds of thunder and lightning faded into silence. The thunder and lightning wanted to break this dao attack but they were too slow. That crack in the air widened and directly enveloped the Thunder Clan Leader, devouring him as he was banished into it.

Qin Wentian didn’t stop his dao art. The terrifying timestop dao continued spreading out in the air.

“RUMBLE~” The thunderous rumbles rang out from the void. It didn’t seem to originate from this dimension, but was from the void instead. This sounded like the Thunder Clan Leader’s counter attack but the attack strength grew weaker and weaker. The dao might from Qin Wentian’s body also gradually dissipated and finally, he coldly spoke, “Banish.”

As the sound of his voice faded, the dimension inside the crack was banished. The powerful Thunder Clan Leader was banished along with it.

Down below, countless people who were still alive watched as their clan leader got banished. Terror filled their hearts as despair could be seen in their eyes. They knew that the Thunder Clan, this clan that has been established for countless years, was going to end today. It was the same as the Qin Clan, the Thunder Clan would become nothing but dust in the history of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. From now on, the name of the Thunder Clan would only appear in historical records and they might only be mentioned as a foil to enhance the radiance of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect.

The battles still continued, but the fluctuations of battles grew gradually weaker. Some time later, the buildings of the Thunder Clan were all destroyed and the deities of the Thunder Clan had all fallen. Only then was everything considered ended. The deity army from the Heaven Vault didn’t continue to act. They understood that the Thunder Clan no longer has a way to climb back up. They were destined to disappear forever.

At this moment in the ruins of the Thunder Clan, a figure climbed out from there. His body was covered in blood. He lifted his head and stared at Qin Wentian in the air. A gentle wind breezed by, causing Qin Wentian’s white robes to flutter in the air, exuding boundless magnificence. However, there was no admiration in the eyes of this Thunder Clan’s expert, there was only hatred.

“Qin Wentian, you are cruel and ruthless, destroying the heavenly deities of the Qin Clan and using blood to cleanse the Thunder Clan. Could it be you want your rise to be symbolized by the destruction of all the hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms? Even if you really rule the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms supreme one day, the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would only decline given the number of deities you killed. Is this what you want?” That expert from the Thunder Clan roared in rage, his eyes flickering with flames.

Qin Wentian swept his gaze over, his calm eyes held no fluctuations. He turned and simply left, not bothering about this expert.

The people of the world are always selfish, they would only see things from their point of view. When they killed their way into the Heaven Vault, did they ever think that such a day would come for them? Now, is there even a need for them to explain anything? The Qin Clan, the Thunder Clan…back then if his father hasn’t made it in time, countless lives would similarly be lost in the Heaven Vault. Since that was the case, he would rather use blood to cleanse the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Let alone deities, he wouldn’t even spare those experts with lower cultivation bases. Why was there a need to show mercy to such people?

He wasn’t a devil, he wouldn’t kill innocents. However, he also wasn’t a saint, his heart wasn’t big enough that he could forgive those who attempted to kill his loved ones.

A trace of anger appeared on Jun Mengchen’s face when he heard that. His palm grabbed out, directly aiming for that expert as he icily spoke, “So we can only allow you guys to attack the Heaven Vault but we cannot counter-attack? How ridiculous? So what even if all the deities from the hegemonic powers are killed? With my senior brother present and with the Heaven Vault present, batches of new deities would be born easily, the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would only be stronger compared to before.”

The expression of that expert froze. Jun Mengchen’s arrogant words were backed by logic. The army of deities here was the best proof. With the Heaven Vault, the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms in the future would only be stronger than the past.

“I will wait and see.” That person coldly replied.

“You will wait? Stop dreaming. You made me very angry. So, you won’t be able to live till that day.” As the sound of Jun Mengchen’s voice faded, the expression of that person drastically changed. After that, a giant palm imprint directly slammed out, burying that expert. Earlier, they had shown mercy and didn’t fully annihilate those who weren’t at the deity level. But those survivors better not challenge their mercy.

“Let’s head to the next target.” Jun Mengchen calmly continued. Those hegemonic powers who attacked the Heaven Vault in the past wanted to peacefully continue like nothing has ever happened? They must be dreaming.

They would never let the members of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect die for nothing, they would never forget this hatred. Could it be that if they chose to forgive and forget, those people would repay them with kindness? No. If they spared the hegemonic powers due to mercy, in the future when an opportunity comes by, the hegemonic powers wouldn’t hesitate to attack the Heaven Vault again. They would also not show any mercy.

The Che Clan was also located in the Earth Region. When Qin Wentian and his group arrived at the Che Clan, they discovered that the Che Clan that once shone with brilliant golden light in this location, the number one artificer clan in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, has completely vanished. The buildings here were all destroyed, becoming a ruin. They seemed to be destroyed by people. Outside the Che Clan, countless people stared in its direction as they sighed. The number one artificer clan in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms actually chose to flee?

Also, it seemed like they were the ones who destroyed everything here. Even all the innately built-in divine formations in this place were also destroyed by them.

“This bunch of fellows are so ruthless.” Qi Yu spoke. The number one artificer clan of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were actually willing to give up their reputation and flee.

Qin Wentian’s divine sense enveloped this space, sweeping through everywhere but he didn’t discover anyone. Down below, a figure suddenly flashed and flew towards Qin Wentian. That figure than spoke, “I pay my respect to sect leader.”

“What happened?” Qin Wentian asked.

“I’ve been monitoring the Che Clan from outside. A period of time earlier, a huge commotion suddenly occurred in the Che Clan. Boundless divine light flooded the area, it seemed like a divine formation had activated. After that, many people departed using that divine formation. After they left, all the divine formations inside the Che Clan began to explode, saturating the area with destructive divine might. After the explosions settled down, this place became a ruin.” That person replied.

Qin Wentian didn’t reply to this. He sent people to observe the Che Clan’s movements but he didn’t send any deities because heavenly deities were just too conspicuous and they would be in danger if they were exposed. In any case, since the Che Clan had the intention to flee, there was naturally no way for a few deities to stop them.

And at this moment, Qi Yu walked over from behind. He spoke to Qin Wentian, “Saint Lord, our spies report that not long ago, the Five Elements Sect whom they were keeping tabs on, was suddenly invaded by black fog. The black fog enveloped the entire Five Elements Sect and a few moments later, everyone inside the Five Elements Sect vanished.”

“Yue Changkong.” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with coldness. Yue Changkong has begun to move. In addition, when he destroyed the Qin Clan, most probably the news has already spread to the other hegemonic powers. It was impossible for the hegemonic powers not to have any eyes and ears outside. Hence, everyone wanted to flee. The Che Clan was like this, and so was the Five Elements Clan.

These heavenly deity powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms evidently wouldn’t sit there to wait for their deaths.

“Let’s return for now.” Qin Wentian spoke in a heavy tone. Everyone nodded their heads. Seems like the situation of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was going to change again. Maybe in the future, the era of the eight regions in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would end.

Qin Wentian and his group left the Che Clan and returned to the Heaven Vault. The ruins of the Che Clan were still there but nobody knew that inside the ruins, there was an independent space hidden there. Inside that space, the sky here was golden in color and divine flames roared as they were used in refinement. It felt like the Che Clan wanted to create the number one divine weapon in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Despite the strength of the Che Clan and the fact that they have been attempting this creation for countless years, the ultimate divine weapon still hasn’t been created yet.

“They have left.” At this moment, a person appeared next to the Che Clan Leader as he spoke. The Che Clan Leader nodded his head lightly. They used the divine formation to teleport people away as a smokescreen technique. In truth, all the important experts of the Che Clan have already entered this hidden dimension. Not only that, even the fluctuations which manifested from the creation process was masked completely. Even Qin Wentian wasn’t able to discover anything.
