The Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 157: Ranked #9 in the Warheast Index

Qin Wentian's black hair fluttered behind him, as he looked at Qian Mengyu, he asked. "The sword technique you used earlier, is it the Nine Swords of Life?"

Qian Mengyu was surprised. "How do you know that?"

Qin Wentian said that he was from a small country, how did he know that the sword technique he used before was the Nine Swords of Life?

"i've seen someone execute a proper sword technique." Qin Wentian. This series of sword techniques was what Gongyang Hong displayed back then as they tried to solve the painting puzzle. Finally, they discovered that this particular sword technique was the girl Gongyang Hong's favorite sword technique, but what happened to them was actually, Qin Wentian could not be certain.

"Thank you for your help earlier." Qin Wentian smiled.

"You need to start worrying about yourself." Qian Mengyu shifted her steps. Although Qin Wentian recognized the Nine Swords of Life, he had no reason to help him further. It wasn't easy for him to enter the testing grounds and of course he didn't want to die here.

Qin Wentian glanced at the surroundings. Indeed, this will not be easily resolved.

Pshh! Suddenly Qin Wentian's body flickered, when a pair of illusory Garuda wings appeared on his back, retreating towards the narrow gap.

Just seeing two people step up, intending to block his path. Qin Wentian did not slow down in the slightest. He exploded with his Mountain Splitter, aiming for one of the two that blocked him.

Puchis! A crisp sound echoed in the air as one of the blocker bodies turned illusory after suffering a spear strike right in his brain. At the same time, Qin Wentian sent a palm trace to his left.

THE EXPLOSION! An incredible power could be felt. Borrowing the force of impact, Qin Wentian soared into the sky, then landed outside the siege and frantically dashed away.

"What an incredible use of the Garuda Movement Technique, he should have already cultivated it to a Great Level of Perfection in the Realm of Artery Circulation."

The faces of the people from the Azure Emperor Palace changed. One after another, they all followed after Qin Wentian using the exact same movement technique – Garuda Movement Technique.

And as for the handsome-looking young man and his sidekick, they came from the Sky Demon Sect. As they executed their movement technique, the sound of a raging tornado could be heard. Their speed was actually also very fast.

“Nyali is good. It is not good to make enemies of the people from the Sky Demon Sect. "

Qian Mengyu executed her own movement technique as well as she followed it.

Qin Wentian clearly understood that the people at this testing ground were not Chu cultivators. And those who stood at the peak of the Arterial Circulation Realm in Chu were incomparable to the elites here. No matter which one of them was at the testing grounds, as long as they were stationed at Chu, they would definitely become elites among the elites, as long as they were stationed at Chu, they would definitely become elites, and especially for the handsome young man with a hint of demonic air in his eyes. Earlier when Qin Wentian exchanged blows with him, he was stunned by the extraordinary prowess of the man.

He was not so blind in the confidence to handle the previous siege with just a cultivation base at the 8th level of the Arterial Circulation. And because of that, he could only choose to escape first with the Garuda Movement Technique.

Right now, after he cultivated to the successful stage of the Garuda Movement Technique [Arterial Circulation Realm], there should be no one in the same world who could overtake him quickly.

As a result, his pursuers became less and less as most could not keep up. Among those who could follow, the most famous were the handsome young man from the Sky Demon Sect, Yue Qingfeng from the Azure Emperor Palace and Qian Mengyu from Greencloud Pavilion.

During the trip, they also met other experts. And after seeing the situation, the other experts also decided to pursue Qin Wentian together.

There was a river in front of Qin Wentian. Gathering his momentum, Qin Wentian rose sharply from the ground as he soared into the sky like a garuda, landing on the opposite edge.

The other pursuers all caught up, and each of them executed their innate techniques as they crossed the river.

Very quickly, Qin Wentian ran into the wooded area which caused his pursuer's face to turn unsightly. There were so many experts in the group of pursuers, yet they had no way of continuing to chase after him.

Instead of spending so much time chasing him down the drain, they might as well kill warbeasts.

However they did not know that at this moment, embers of anger were burning deep within Qin Wentian's heart. At this testing ground, how many warbeast spirits were stronger than the ones he absorbed? Why should they force him in such a way?

At the end of the wooded area was actually a rock mountain with a waterfall flowing down from it. The lake was on its left and right sides, this was actually a place without a retreat lane.

Qin Wentian slowed his pace as he stopped. Behind him, he could hear a gasping sound. The handsome-looking young man from the Sky Demon Sect was the first to catch up with him.

Yao Sheng had a pair of illusory wings belonging to the legendary Roc behind his back. His gaze held a hint of demonic air within them as he floated in the air towards Qin Wentian; the gentle power of his palm was sent out once again.

Buzz! Qin Wentian's ancient spear smashed forward with everything it had, piercing at a speed similar to lightning.

Yao Sheng shook his palm as Demonic Qi furiously erupted. His palm turned into a giant bear claw as it smashed forward, colliding with Qin Wentian's ancient spear. Yao Sheng's body was light beyond comparison and at the moment of the collision, he redirected the force and shot forward, sweeping past the ancient spear and getting closer to Qin Wentian. Releasing the demon light screen, his attack beam enveloped Qin Wentian, and he exploded with that seemingly meek and gentle palm strike once again.

Qin Wentian did not back down. The bloodline that had the dominance of the king surged profusely on his body. Replying to the palm strike with his own palm strike, he smashed out with the might of a mountain peak.

EXPLOSIONS. A terrible wind around him. Both were forced back by the impact. The path of Qin Wentian's arteries trembled, while his heart was pounding. His opponent's innate technique was too mysterious and cunning.

Yao Sheng was forced by a single step and a strange ray flashed across his eyes. Immediately after, the cold glint in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

The towering waves of Demon Qi exploded, and a plate of scaly armor formed on the side of his arm as demonic light gushed out from his eyes. The roc wings on his back materialized again, as the demonic light he emitted became increasingly bright. At this moment, he did not seem like a human anymore, but rather like a demon.

"Fallen Star Stance." The ancient spear in Qin Wentian's hand exploded with tyrannical power, as a terrifying spiral formed at the tip of his spear.

Yao Sheng's palm stretched forward and a rumbling sound shook the air. His body was similar to an agile snake, actually dodging Qin Wentian's strongest attack, as he turned into a hazy shadow.

"DEAD!" A shrill voice came out. Yao Sheng's arms were somehow elongated as they turned into sharp claws, slashing into Qin Wentian's head.

The ancient spear in Qin Wentian's grasp trembled and he spat out a sword beam. With a roar of anger, his left palm unleashed the Falling Mountain Palms as their two attacks clashed against each other. Qin Wentian was once again ruthlessly forced to retreat by the impact.

Despite using the strength of his bloodline boundary, he was still forced to retreat. Gazing at Yao Sheng's body, Qin Wentian could also sense the faintness of the boundary of another descendant. However, the blood on Yao Sheng's body looked strange. It was as if ..the blood on his body was the blood of a savage beast!

The other pursuers gradually caught up and could not help but become dumbfounded seeing that Qin Wentian had not been killed by Yao Sheng's hand. The mysterious person who should not be here at the testing grounds actually possessed an extremely astonishing level of strength.

THE EXPLOSION! And at this moment, a tremor shook the earth. The hearts of the crowd trembled as they turned their gazes forward, only seeing something similar to a moving mountain.

Rumbling sounds rang out as the huge rocks and boulders from the mountain fell down like meteorites from the sky. The sounds made by the falling stones were terrifying while a terrifying Demonic Qi exploded into the surroundings.

ROOARRRR ~ An earth-shattering howl is heard, causing the ground to split. The water in both frenzied lakes gurgled and under the waterfall, a terrifying demonic beast appeared, its movements causing a huge wave to disintegrate like a tsunami.

The body of this beast was a snake in nature, and it was rolled under a waterfall. The body size of this beast could not be determined yet, its body was covered by a scaly armor and there was a sharp sting embedded in the scaly armor. Both of his arms were large and ended in five claws. Its body shape was long and tortuous, curving like a hook, emitting a cold and sharp sensation.

At this moment, this demonic beast opened its jaws and roared furiously. The sharpness of his serrated teeth struck fear and terror in the hearts of the crowd. It was many times stronger compared to the other demonic beasts they saw.

"Blue-scale Flood Dragon, ranked #9 on the Warbeast Index."

Everyone's hearts trembled when they saw the demonic beast. The spirit included in one of the top 10 ferocious beasts in the warbeast index was the one that all these cultivators wanted to achieve the most.

But, the combat prowess of the top ten demonic beasts could be considered heaven-shaking and earth-shattering, and almost invincible in the Arterial Circulation realm.

"What a powerful demonic beast, if I absorb its spirit, wouldn't it give me a tremendous boost to my sense abilities, which allows me to form an innate connection to the Blue Scale Flood Dragon constellation in the 5th Heavenly Layer?" fluctuations appeared in Qin Wentian's heart. If he guessed correctly, he had already decided which Astral Soul condensed for his 3rd Astral Soul.

There were so many demon beasts listed in the Warbeast Index, and it would allow cultivators to easily sense the existence of the constellations of each demon beast in the Heavenly Layer, and would allow cultivators to easily sense the existence of the constellations of each demon beast in the Heavenly Layer, for those who managed to condense Astral Soul-type beasts, their physical battle prowess would undoubtedly greatly increase.

But even so, no matter what kind of astral soul the beast was, being able to summon that physical aspect was a different ball game altogether.

Qin Wentian understood the reason why summoning type cultivators were so rare. It was because of tremendous difficulty. If one did not have enough talent, the physical form of the beast they summoned would not help much at all.

In the perspective of many people, summoning-type Astral Souls were all trash even though there were some genius summoners who possessed frightening strength.

At this moment, the desire to become a savage beast summoner in the future became even stronger in Qin Wentian's heart.

If one day he could summon all sorts of impressive warbeasts whose roars shook Heaven and Earth, how amazing would that be?

Naturally, this was just a little thought in his heart and far into the future. What he needed to do now was to face the situation that lay before him.

The Blue Scale Flood Dragon #9 that was ranked was not at rank number 9.

Leaning his proud head, he glanced towards the human insult. That pair of demonic sharp eyes brimmed with killing intent.

Psst! Suddenly, the flood dragon started moving. His enormous body appeared in front of Qin Wentian in an instant, when thick and scaly arms came out, terrifying claws breaking the mountain peak, piercing into Qin Wentian's body.

The borders of Qin Wentian's bloodline roared in protest, as he burst forward with Fallen Star. The ancient spear howled furiously when it met with the attack of the flood dragon head claws.

THE EXPLOSION!

Qin Wentian's body was thrown into the air as Qi and blood roiled haphazardly in his body, causing him to involuntarily spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. The ancient spear in his hand trembled, as if it had almost reached its breaking point.

"How strong." Qin Wentian's heart trembled. Even though his strength was suppressed to the peak of a tier 6 demonic beast, the power he possessed was actually ridiculous to that extent.

Is this the strength of the top 10 ranked beasts? It seemed that it would become extremely difficult for Qin Wentian if he wanted to ascend to the 8th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion. At the very least, it was almost impossible for him at this moment.

The Azure Emperor's requirement for one to rise to the 8th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion was that one must obtain the spirit of one of the top ten ranked demonic beasts listed in the Warbeast Index. This requirement was undoubtedly several times more difficult compared to obtaining the Jun Lin Banquet championship.

Despite the fact that he could obtain the Jun Lin Banquet championship, his strength was still far from being able to kill a top 10 ranked demonic beast.

One could see just how great the difference was between the difficulties of the two tasks. What did the Azure Emperor leave behind in the 8th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion ?!
