Chapter 1496: Slaying the Crown Prince

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

Although everyone felt Qin Wentian was bragging, but when Qin Wentian counted down to three, the hearts of everyone all involuntarily tensed up. They stared at the battlefield with their fists clenched. Even the experts from the Senluo Immortal Empire were not as confident as they thought they would be. All of their eyes opened wide, fearing to miss out the slightest detail.

“Earlier, what did the Yama King mean? When the Saber-Sword Immortal King was rushing towards him, the Yama King said something about an illusory space and double-layer combat? Could it be that when the Yama King sank into the illusory space, the Saber-Sword Immortal King was also attacking him in the external world, doing a double-pronged attack?” Their hearts trembled. The Saber-Sword Immortal King was too terrifying, able to cleave apart all obstructions before him.

What they didn’t see was that right now in another space, Qin Wentian was even more fearsome. His entire being brimmed with unexcelled might, akin to a real divinity.

“SCRAM!” The Yama King roared, his palms blasting out in the air, blotting out the sun, wanting to destroy all existences. Even though his opponent was able to launch real attacks in this illusory space, the power generated would still be limited by Qin Wentian’s actual strength. For overpowered attacks, one could safely say that they were all illusions. This meant that as long as he was strong enough, he would be invincible in the illusory space so long as he didn’t fall for the illusions.

At this instant, a burst of hellfire gushed forth, immolating Qin Wentian’s figure. But in the next moment, countless Qin Wentians appeared in the illusory space, The Yama King couldn’t tell which was real and which wasn’t.

“Two.” At this moment, Qin Wentian spoke, his voice ringing out in both the illusory space and the external world.

“How can this be?” The Yama King’s expression changed. He had tried to struggle free of this false illusory space. Given his powerful will, he should be able to do it. However, even if he managed to break out from there, the attacks launched in that illusory space would convert to reality as well. This tyrannical law domain was clearly formed with the aid of some supreme illusory techniques the Saber-Sword Immortal King had cultivated. This bore a resemblance to his Asura Prison and from a certain perspective, there was no counter to it.

“RUMBLE!” The entire space trembled. The countless Qin Wentians lifted their hands and blasted out attacks. The Saber-Sword Immortal King didn’t use his weapons but chose to blast out giant palms that resembled the hands of gods. The palms all flared with a resplendent light, each containing boundless might, infused with a towering sword intent as well a strand of the pagoda suppression holy will, and a tyrannical devil might that could destroy everything… At this moment, the Yama King could sense all the law attributes Qin Wentian was proficient in. All of them were fused perfectly within this torrent of palm strikes.

“ONE!” Qin Wentian roared, boundless divine light flooded the area and all the Qin Wentian’s images continued their barrage. Which were real? Which were false?

The Yama King had no way to deal with so many attacks at the same time. He could only maximize his own defense and hid in the center of his Asura Prison, using the attacks from his law domain to offset some of Qin Wentian’s palm attacks.

“BOOM!” The palm imprints slammed down, capable of annihilating all existences, flooding every inch of the Asura Prison. The rays of light they radiated all blasted into the Yama King’s body, causing him to roar in anger. At this moment, another illusory scene appeared in his mind. He saw that in the external world, Qin Wentian slashed out a sword attack from his Nightmare Sword Art, wanting to tear him apart.

The Yama King could only do his best, strengthening his defense to the maximum. He couldn’t help but wonder, was there really such a powerful ultimate technique in the immortal realms?

People in the external world naturally couldn’t see all this. They only saw the Saber-Sword Immortal King rushing towards the Yama King with a sword in his hand.

“Time’s up. He said he wanted to kill the Supreme Crown Prince within nine breaths? What foolish words.” The experts from the Senluo Empire snorted.

“As expected, the Saber-Sword Immortal King was just boasting earlier. Nine seconds have already passed. Did he really think that a single sword attack will be sufficient to kill the Yama King?” The spectators all shook their heads silently. It was impossible to tell who would die in such a battle, let alone saying that one could kill the other within nine seconds.

However, none of them knew that in the other space, the Yama King’s body was trembling violently when the unending waves of destruction generated from the palm imprints blasted into him, crushing his defenses. At this moment, he suddenly let out a scream of utter agony, causing the hearts of all the spectators to tremble.

The Yama King’s eyes flashed with enlightenment. He glanced at the endless waves of palm attacks as he called out, “Go….d”

“Pu…chi…” At this moment, in the external world, Qin Wentian already arrived before him. With a simple stab, his sword pierced into the throat of the Yama King. Inside the illusory space, the endless attacks rained down with crushing force. God’s Hand, he didn’t even manage to utter the first word before his body exploded from the attack.

“CROWN PRINCE!” The experts from the Senluo Immortal Empire roared as their faces turned pale.

“How can this be?” Many people stared at the scene before their eyes with shock and disbelief. All of them were in a daze as their hearts trembled fiercely. How can this be possible? What was going on? Is this an illusion?

The sentence spoken by the Saber-Sword Immortal King from before was still reverberating through the air. Nine breaths of time…nine seconds… The Yama King was killed within this frame of time, actually dying to the Saber-Sword Immortal King. At that very last moment, what happened exactly?

Was it because of something that happened in the illusory space where the Yama King was trapped in?

The people here were all extraordinary immortal kings. They knew that for some of the more powerful illusionary techniques, what’s illusory could become reality, a mixture of both causing opponents to have no way to differentiate it. But even so, the attacks launched wouldn’t exceed the user’s original strength. As long as the Yama King was strong enough, Qin Wentian’s attacks shouldn’t have been able to do anything to him. Even though the Saber-Sword Immortal King managed to trap him inside an illusory space, it would still be impossible to kill him.

But at this moment, the Yama King had truly died. This indicated that he was unable to deal with the Saber-Sword Immortal King’s attacks in the illusory space.

The Yama King, the crown prince of the Senluo Immortal Empire, was one of those standing at the very peak of the City of Ancient Emperors. His combat prowess was unparalleled but before he could unleash his strongest attacks, he actually already died within the nine seconds. The Saber-Sword Immortal King wasn’t bragging at all.

“He, achieved what he said.” No matter what happened earlier, and no matter how curious they were, the truth was truth. Right now, all their eyes stared at Qin Wentian who was floating in the air. Before this, all of them thought that the Saber-Sword Immortal King didn’t know the immensity of the heavens and earth and grossly overestimated himself when he said he would kill Yama King within nine seconds. That sounded like a joke in their ears, incomparably arrogant and ignorant. Nobody believed that he would be able to do it.

But at this moment, all of their doubts vanished. How laughable was their earlier thinking? The Yama King was killed by a single simple stab to the throat by the Saber-Sword Immortal King.

Just like what the Saber-Sword Immortal King has said earlier, he gave the Yama King a chance to unleash his strongest attack, but the Yama King didn’t give a damn. In the end, it was unknown what the Yama King was thinking when he died. Did he regret it?

Xu Qingyao was completely dumbstruck when she saw this. Her beautiful eyes froze. A slight breeze blew by and her dress fluttered. Only after a long moment did she draw in a deep breath as she stared at the magnificent figure in the air. After this battle, the Saber-Sword Immortal King’s name would definitely echo throughout the City of Ancient Emperors.

Even for the beautiful fox maiden on the mountain peak, her gaze also trembled, extremely taken aback as she stared at Qin Wentian. Although she has never fought with the Yama King before, there was no need to doubt the Yama King’s strength as he was one of those standing at the peak of the city. But now, he had been killed by the Saber-Sword Immortal King.

“POWERFUL!” Jun Mengchen roared excitedly. “This Yama King kept assuming that he was invincible. Right now, what of it? Always acting like everyone else is inferior to him but he was killed by the Saber-Sword Immortal King within nine seconds. As expected, the Yama King basically could not live up to his reputation and only knew how to bully those with weaker cultivation bases.”

“What nonsense? Who doesn’t knows about my brother when he swept through the city with invincibility? When has he bullied people weaker than him?” Yan Luotian’s expression was extremely ugly. Even if his royal brother died, he could not allow others to insult him.

“Nonsense? Back then he bullied the Saber-Sword Immortal King because the he had a higher cultivation base, wanting the Saber-Sword Immortal King to kneel and apologize. After he won, wasn’t he very self-satisfied? Now, in a mere thirty years, the Saber-Sword Immortal King has returned after entering the peak-stage of the immortal king realm. At this point of time, your royal brother was finished off in nine seconds. Isn’t this already enough to prove everything?”

Jun Mengchen coldly spoke, causing many to sigh. The Yama King naturally wasn’t someone who couldn’t live up to his reputation. One can only say that the Saber-Sword Immortal King is too powerful. It’s only natural that the victor becomes the king while the loser was vilified. After this battle, it was unknown how many people would start mocking the Yama King for not being able to live up to his reputation. Such was the cruel reality. Even the Yama King had died here today. Who would have expected this? Who would dare to imagine this?

And it was precisely because no one dared to imagine this, those who stood at the very peak hadn’t come by to see this battle. Only the fox maiden from the nine-tailed fox race was here, the others standing at the peak felt that this wasn’t a battle worthy of their attention.

“Another supreme immortal king has been born.” Many people mused silently as they stared at Qin Wentian. The sky in the City of Ancient Emperors is changing, as expected of the grand era, even a supreme elite like the Yama King could die, giving rise to another more terrifying elite – the Saber-Sword Immortal King.

“What was the Yama King trying to say at the instant before his death? Go… god? Was he treating the Saber-Sword Immortal King as a god?” Everyone stared at Qin Wentian, his magnificence knew no bounds and was truly like a divinity, lofty and high-up.

Qin Wentian glanced at the surroundings, at the shocked experts here. His expression was calm as he spoke, “This seat told him to kneel and apologize and I would have spared his life. Who would have known that he wanted to die so badly? This seat could only grant him his wish.”

The hearts of everyone trembled. This fellow…if these words were heard by the Yama King, wouldn’t he be so angered that he rose from death? Such arrogance…But then again, when they thought of the Saber-Sword Immortal King killing the Yama King within nine seconds, all of them could only silently nod their heads. If one wanted to be arrogant, they had to have the capabilities to back it up. If they had such power, they naturally would all be as arrogant as that as well!
