Fiendgod Heaven Suppression Art

Fiendgod Heaven Suppression Art

Qin Wentian descended with a blaze of golden light illuminating the heavens. He exuded an unmatched air of loftiness, and his icy gaze felt like it could pierce through the very souls of those he fixed his eyes upon.

Di Shi, step by step, was pushed back under the relentless onslaught. His roar echoed in rage, and behind him, a bizarre phenomenon unfolded. Countless predatory bird manifestations converged into a radiant glow enveloping his form, amplifying his aura to a bone-chilling degree.

As Qin Wentian readied himself for another attack, a tremor coursed through Di Shi's body. The manifestations behind him exuded an air of insolence, as if mocking the heavens themselves. With renewed determination, Di Shi unleashed yet another assault. Massive, razor-sharp talons melded together, giving birth to an ancient and ferocious bird, its sole purpose to rip Qin Wentian apart, its power capable of rending human bodies into shreds.

"Di Shi is launching his counterattack, and what a formidable strike it is. It seems he has gained a new understanding of power from the fourth row's stone monument."

The clash of their attacks sent shockwaves rippling outward, distorting the image projection itself.

Bang, Bang, Bang!

Qin Wentian's astral light radiated endlessly from his palms, runic brilliance illuminating everything around him. Simultaneously, Di Shi's glow enveloped the area, his baleful aura reaching towards the heavens. Streams of Star-Seizing Palm imprints clashed fiercely against Di Shi's assault. They soared into the sky with each strike, creating explosive eruptions that left the spectators in awe.

"Qin Wentian's attacks are incredibly potent. He doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage when facing Di Shi," spectators murmured in admiration.

Unable to contain his frustration, Di Shi roared. An even more dazzling light burst forth from him, filling the entire sky with innumerable copies of himself. The projection of the ancient primordial bird glared hatefully at Qin Wentian, radiating an overwhelming aura of terror.

"DIE!" Di Shi's shout shook the heavens, and in an instant, attacks from countless Di Shi images rained down with devastating force.

Bzz!

Astral light erupted as Qin Wentian fragmented into a million incarnations. His silhouette pulsed with radiant energy, transforming into a relentless barrage of Star-Seizing Palm imprints aimed at Di Shi.

To the spectators, it appeared as though both combatants had grown multiple limbs and heads. Di Shi seemed to have the upper hand due to his numerous incarnations, amplified by the primordial bird's projection. Yet, in terms of sheer numbers, Qin Wentian had the advantage.

Destructive qi surged within the monument's space as witnesses watched Di Shi being steadily pushed back. Qin Wentian's speed increased, his golden primordial roc's wings casting a shimmering veil over the sky. Wave after wave of Star-Seizing Palm imprints, each possessing enough force to shake the very foundations of heaven and earth, blasted out, annihilating everything in their path.

Spectators' hearts raced as they stared at the blurry projection. The young man who had often been seen in a defensive posture had bared his sharp fangs, revealing a newfound ferocity that sent shivers down their spines.

Qin Wentian could have chosen to continue battling while maintaining his defensive stance. If he had done so, as long as another participant was eliminated in a different battle, he would secure a spot in the top ten of the Immortal Martial Realm. However, he had opted for a different path, one that shocked everyone. He initiated an attack, and even more astonishingly, he chose to face Di Shi! His unwavering confidence sent ripples of amazement through the onlookers.

The blurry projection image suddenly shattered, and the hearts of the crowd raced as they kept their eyes glued to the two combatants. In mere moments, Di Shi was forced back to the first row of stone monuments, coughing up blood. The once-arrogant and imposing Di Shi now appeared visibly shaken, and the light that had enveloped him seemed as though it had been mercilessly shattered.

The brutality of this outcome was difficult for the spectators to digest, but it was the undeniable reality that surged like a tidal wave, stirring deep emotions in their hearts.

Di Shi, one of the eight era-suppressing geniuses, had been defeated! Although this wasn't a full-fledged battle where participants could employ their most potent techniques, it was still an entirely fair competition. Di Shi's loss to Qin Wentian under these conditions hinted that even if Qin Wentian's immediate combat strength might not surpass Di Shi's, his innate potential was undeniably superior.

This was a battle that saw an era-suppressing genius fall! It meant that in the rankings of this batch of Immortal Martial Realm participants, Di Shi's name wouldn't make it to the top ten.

The significance of this battle was profound.

The spectators began to speculate. Even though Di Shi had lost to Qin Wentian, he should have still been stronger than Lou Bingyu and Si Ling. Regrettably, Qin Wentian had used Di Shi, an era-suppressing genius, as a stepping stone, forging a legend entirely his own. This battle would undoubtedly make Qin Wentian's name resound throughout the Royal Sacred Region.

Countless eyes were fixed on Qin Wentian. At this moment, the radiant aura surrounding him seemed to outshine even the eight era-suppressing geniuses. It was as if he had used this battle to declare to the world that he would replace Di Shi, ascending to the same echelon as the era-suppressing geniuses!

People couldn't help but recall the earlier conflict between Di Shi and Qin Wentian. It was said that Di Yu, Di Shi's younger brother, had displayed extreme arrogance and had humiliated Qin Wentian's friends, even daring to insult the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley. Qin Wentian had sought to avenge these insults but was thwarted by the arrival of Di Shi, who single-handedly challenged Qin Wentian's group, intending to eliminate them all. Back then, Di Shi's supremacy was unquestionable. If not for Ji Feixue's intervention disrupting his plans, Qin Wentian would have perished. Then, in a moment of calm, Di Shi had launched a surprise attack on Qin Wentian's friends, prompting Qin Wentian to decisively slay Di Yu in front of Di Shi before escaping using a spatial-transference scroll.

Qin Wentian's actions during that battle had earned him the admiration of many for his courage. Nevertheless, the fact remained that he hadn't possessed the strength to directly confront Di Shi. In the eyes of others, he and Di Shi belonged to entirely different tiers. It was widely believed that when Di Shi initiated an invasion against Qin Wentian at the beginning of this trial, it would mark the end of Qin Wentian's journey in the Immortal Martial Realm. Yet, their second encounter yielded an entirely unexpected outcome—Di Shi's defeat.

This reversal, when one considered the entire sequence of events, was undeniably an epic tale of determination. In the Immortal Martial Realm, Qin Wentian had undergone a profound transformation, figuratively trampling Di Shi underfoot. Now, who would dare to underestimate this unassuming youth from the Battle Sword Sect? With just a single invasion, he shattered everyone's preconceptions and announced that his own legendary story was only just beginning.

"Freaking beautiful!" Fatty couldn't contain his excitement as he roared from the floating bridge, his plump cheeks flushed with enthusiasm.

Chu Mang and Ouyang Kuangsheng joined in with hearty cheers. Despite feeling the gap in their strengths widen, they were elated to witness Qin Wentian's continued progress on his journey. The young man who once proudly held Mo Qingcheng's hand and declared their love on the Heavenly Fate Ranking Battle stage in Grand Xia was now finding his voice in the Royal Sacred Region.

They all believed that this battle was just the beginning.

Even Yun Mengyi, whose demeanor was typically icy and aloof, couldn't help but sparkle with admiration. Qin Wentian had finally embarked on the path to greatness.

Not far away, Princess Jiao Yang breathed a sigh of relief. If even Di Shi had been defeated by Qin Wentian, then her own loss felt more bearable. She only regretted targeting him earlier.

Lin Xian`er's eyes twinkled with a knowing smile, making her look more enchanting than anything else in the world.

However, the members of the supreme Di Clan wore grim expressions. Di Shi's defeat meant he wouldn't make it into the top ten.

After defeating Di Shi, Qin Wentian advanced to the fourth row of monuments. With only ten participants left, he had earned his place by defeating Di Shi. But he knew this wasn't his final destination. To make his future challenges less daunting, he decided to eliminate one more opponent now and secure his path to the fifth row.

When Si Ling realized that Qin Wentian had invaded his monument, his expression turned sour. There was no escaping this confrontation, so he braced himself for a fight. Spectators watched as a torrent of palm imprints, each powerful enough to pluck stars from the heavens, descended upon Si Ling, ejecting him from the monument in a breathtaking and splendid fashion.

If the spectators were to sum up the battle, they would describe it in two words: instant defeat. It was so overwhelmingly dominant that it could even be considered sadistic. Si Ling, coughing up blood as he landed back in the first row of monuments, gazed at Qin Wentian with a face as unsightly as it could get. Little did he know that Qin Wentian's invasion had a simple purpose: to accumulate enough victories to clear a path to the fifth row. Si Ling was just collateral damage in Qin Wentian's pursuit of his goals. If Si Ling had known the truth, he might have coughed up even more blood in frustration.

"Nine more to go, and it looks like Si Ling will secure the tenth spot in the Immortal Martial Realm rankings. But honestly, he's probably not as strong as Di Shi," someone remarked.

"Yeah, and this Qin Wentian guy is something else. He could've easily defeated Si Ling, but he intentionally chose Di Shi. It's not just self-confidence; it's sheer audacity," another person chimed in.

"Well, if you can beat Di Shi, you can strut your stuff as confidently as him," a member of the crowd replied, prompting silent nods of agreement from those nearby. Clearly, Qin Wentian's victory over Di Shi had shifted their perception of him. Everyone now understood that Qin Wentian's meteoric rise couldn't be halted.

With just nine contestants left, Qin Wentian turned his attention to the fourth row of monuments. Silently, he used his perception to sense the energies emanating from the various stone monuments. Soon, he felt a unique aura emanating from one of them—a brilliant, resplendent energy that caught his eye.

"In the treasure pagoda test, I acquired an unnamed oracular chant that can manipulate the energy within my body. Could it be related to this stone monument?" Qin Wentian pondered. "I'll choose this one."

Approaching the stone monument, he trusted his instincts. Perhaps the chant he had acquired earlier was just a fragment of the knowledge contained within this monument. Choosing it was the only way to find out.

As Qin Wentian focused on the stone monument, it began to emit a dazzling light. A colossal, primordial figure materialized before him, exuding a power capable of subduing the heavens and earth. In mid-air, ancient, gigantic words appeared, imprinting themselves into Qin Wentian's sea of consciousness. They resonated with the chant already in his mind, gradually clarifying the hazy words.

"Fiendgod Heaven Suppression Art!" These four colossal symbols took shape in Qin Wentian's mind, causing his heart to race. The Fiendgod Heaven Suppression Art—an immortal-level technique.

This could be his greatest achievement in the Immortal Martial Realm. The rumors were true; immortal arts existed here. It was becoming clear that the master of this realm must indeed be an immortal, likely not an ordinary one. Those who had achieved top rankings in previous contests likely knew the truth, and the upper echelons of top-tier powers probably had their suspicions as well. This explained why the Immortal Martial Realm's ten-year cycle was so highly esteemed even among major powers!
