Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 949: Shattering Immortal Foundation

Panda Novel

The aura exuding from Mo Xie was terrifying to the extreme, and the vortex he manifested was even more fearsome. It wanted to devour the energy from all the body-like statues nearby. He had set his sights on the statues, their silhouettes reflected from within his dark golden eyes.

Mo Xie laughed coldly in his heart when he realized this was working. After obtaining the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor, his strength had grown even stronger. And it had conveniently helped him seize the inheritance here. It all seemed as if the heavens themselves were helping him. The inheritances of two ancient emperors were destined to belong to him. From now, who could still stand against him in the City of Ancient Emperors,? Even Zi Daoyang wouldn’t be able to compare!

For the other geniuses, there were some who watched on in awe while others trembled with fear and trepidation.

"Senior Brother Qin has already entered a meditative state, how fast." Jun Mengchen glanced at Qin Wentian as he spoke in a low voice. However, he wasn’t too surprised. By now, he was hardly ever surprised with whatever Qin Wentian did. Right from the start, his senior brother Qin could never be measured by common logic. Back when Qin Wentian had been brought into the underground palace by those of the Xiao Sect, they were still worried that he was at a disadvantage. But at the very end, Qin Wentian was the only one who managed to comprehend and cultivate the God’s Hand. Xuan Xing failed to do so, as well as Xiao Lengyue.

"Mo Xie’s aura has become even more terrifying than before. Even in the immortal realms, it would be hard to find such a character even in the span of ten thousand years." Some geniuses stared at the dark golden light circulating around Mo Xie as his aura intensified. From the vastness of that aura, so akin to a towering wall of tidal waves, nobody dared to be near him at all. It felt that terrifying waves of might were generating from his aura and could devour them whole.

—BOOM!— Just as Mo Xie’s aura reached a peak, his aura suddenly fluctuated and rumbling sounds echoed from his body, and then finally his aura started to fade away. The terrifying waves of might gradually diminished and turned quiet. Mo Xie’s dark golden eyes had lost their earlier luster. Instead, only puzzlement flashed through his eyes. Just now, right at the most crucial moment, something had interrupted the entire process, causing his plan to break apart.

This caused a strange expression to appear on Mo Xie’s face. What just happened?

Everything should have proceeded smoothly, and he should have already obtained the inheritance. But how could that earlier scene have happened?

A fearsome dark golden light erupted from his eyes. Mo Xie closed them and once again restarted the process, more intent than ever before. His entire aura gushed forth, seething and surging, generating waves of terrifying might.

Qin Wentian was just as quiet as before, but the scene he viewed in his perception gradually grew clearer. He could see an ancient person cultivating, all the way back from when that person was weak until he grew strong. That person experienced countless hardships and adversities, rose above them and eventually became stronger. He endured untold difficulties and feelings of bitterness as he paced around on the boundary separating life and death. Eventually, he’d succeeded in establishing an immortal foundation, walking steadily towards a radiant future as he became an immortal.

Although it was only the simplest state of perception, he could sense a mysterious energy from ancient times infusing him, allowing him to experience something extraordinary.

It was like he could sense the individual’s path of immortality represented by that body-like statue. After establishing his immortal foundation, that person finally began his path to truly become truly strong. Qin Wentian could sense his excitement, the excitement from successfully becoming an immortal. That was merely the first step for him to become the strongest in the immortal realms.

However very swiftly, Qin Wentian felt a burst of negativity borne from despair. His immortal foundation was shattered apart, and all his dreams had vanished like smoke. In that moment, he, who was filled with hope; he, who gave everything he had to reach this step, had completely nothing. This kind of heart-wrenching despair deeply touched Qin Wentian. In Qin Wentian’s mind, despair also appeared, as though he was personally going through the life experiences of that individual.

From being an ordinary mortal, to slowly walking down a path that led to radiance, and then entering the world of immortals. The effort he’d put in was inconceivable. But at the end, everything he’d built had totally collapsed, this kind of despair could easily be understood. Qin Wentian could feel how dispirited that man had become, and this lasted for a very long period of time, until one day, that man acquired a mysterious energy. From his despair, he felt excitement for the first time in a long while—it was as if he’d finally seen a ray of hope in all that darkness.

"The scenes in this mysterious place that I see using my perception… they’re actually from a person’s lifetime. Was this the lifetime of that ancient emperor?" Qin Wentian mused, he watched on quietly with reverence in his heart, sinking into the experiences he perceived.

While in another direction, Mo Xie’s aura caused shivers to run down everyone’s spines, his aura intensifying to the point where it was unbelievable. His entire body shone with a dark golden light that generated a fearsome might. Abruptly, he opened his eyes and rays of light shot from within. After which, the same thing occurred again, his aura faded away as the waves of might dissipated, returning to the void as though nothing had happened.

Mo Xie’s countenance turned black with anger, his expression exceptionally unsightly to behold. He’d failed again. He actually had no way to accomplish it, no way to seize this inheritance.

Qin Wentian continued to calmly comprehend in his meditative state. He could feel that the stellar martial cultivator once again had hope. He’d started to do his best, putting in all his effort, and after facing many terrifying setbacks— repeatedly experiencing incomparable pain and agony,—he finally succeeded.

However, those difficulties he experienced seemed to be a little blurry.

"What is that?" Qin Wentian asked himself. Such pain and agony wasn’t something ordinary people could endure. It was like he’d clearly seen through it, yet it was somehow still blurry, and obscured his senses.

Qin Wentian decided to start from the first body-like statue once again. His perception drifted into it, as though he was experiencing the same life as well. He could sense everything that man had experienced, and when he once again arrived at that point in time where there was only endless despair, the pain and agony of that period struck deep into his heart. However, within that despair, there was an incomparable conviction—it was as though he believed in himself so completely that he would always be able to rise from the ashes, like a phoenix born of fire.

A terrifying bolt of lightning flashed across Qin Wentian’s mind. In that moment, the blurry scene from before grew instantly clearer. He finally knew the kind of pain and agony that stellar martial cultivator had experienced.

"Shattering Immortal Foundation!" Qin Wentian’s heart pounded violently. He had shattered his own Immortal Foundation!!

It didn’t refer to killing an immortal-foundation expert but rather, it referred to the intentional shattering of one’s own immortal foundation.

This stellar martial cultivator had voluntarily established his own immortal foundation again and again, had endured that hellish, inconceivable pain, had endured things that no one could endure; it had all been borne from shattering one’s own immortal foundation.

"Shattering one’s immortal foundation. For immortals, there had actually been someone willing to destroy the immortal foundation they went through countless pain to establish, only to reestablish it again and again?" Qin Wentian felt as though he’d seen through the truth—the distance between him and that ancient emperor had significantly reduced. He could sense the hard work, the struggle, the despair, and the rebirth of that ancient emperor.

For those who were truly powerful, they had achieved their goals by walking step-by-step on their path to become strong, They had experienced countless, untold difficulties before finally emerging as supreme existences whose names shook the world. This ancient emperor was the only one in that era who could stand equally against the Brahma Heavenly Emperor, and even managed to imprison and kill him. The crowd could only look on in awe at his accomplishments, but how many knew of the kind of despair he’d once faced when his immortal foundation was shattered? Back then, even he himself probably hadn’t thought that he could manage to pull through.

Mo Xie was still trying valiantly to devour all this energy, intent on subduing it. As for Qin Wentian, he chose a completely different path. He used his heart to experience and comprehend everything set before him, and it was then that the runic lines and diagrams on the statues all lit up in an instant, congregating on Qin Wentian’s body. After which, rays of light began to shine on him, their energy flowing unceasingly into Qin Wentian.

This sudden scene caught everyone by surprise. Their attention was all focused on Qin Wentian as their hearts trembled. How could this be possible?

Mo Xie had finished establishing his physique, and right when he was only a step away from obtaining this inheritance, Qin Wentian was going to plunder it away?

In that case, was Mo Xie’s earlier success in establishing that indestructible physique all for nothing? What had his actions counted for then?

Mo Xie stopped his movements, and stared at Qin Wentian. His dark golden eyes radiated a terrifying coldness, and were so sharp it felt he could cut through Qin Wentian with his gaze alone.

He’d said it before. Since he was here, this inheritance belonged to him. But now, did Qin Wentian wish to seize his inheritance?

Staring at the rays of light entering Qin Wentian’s body, Mo Xie stepped out, moving towards his opponent. Mo Xie’s every step contained a supreme terrifying might within.

Nanfeng Yunxi, Qing`er, Jun Mengchen and the others all stiffened when they saw him move. Staring at Mo Xie, they hurried to Qin Wentian’s side, standing around him protectively.

"I want you to stop what you’re doing now," Mo Xie said coldly as he stared at Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian opened his eyes, and his calm gaze was unruffled. The mysterious energy continued to flow into him. He stared at Mo Xie as he impassively stated, "You don’t have the qualifications to receive this inheritance."

"I don’t have the qualifications?!" Mo Xie stomped the ground as a vast aura blasted out, akin to terrifyingly gigantic tsunami waves.

Qin Wentian seized his inheritance and was even saying that he didn’t have the qualifications to obtain it?

—BOOM!— An indestructible, dark golden light circulated around his entire body. Mo Xie stepped out, his foot steps rumbling the heavens. Everyone who blocked him must die.

—BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!— The terrifying tidal waves gushed forth. Mo Xie dashed towards Qin Wentian, but suddenly, Jun Mengchen roared in rage and punched out with enough might to shake the entire world.

"SCRAM!" Mo Xie spat out. A fearsome energy directly collided into Jun Mengchen. It felt like both heaven and earth were breaking apart as a terrifying whistling sound echoed in the air. Although Jun Mengchen was very powerful, when fighting against Mo Xie, he was still blasted away with a single strike, directly flying out of the area. He couldn’t even withstand Mo Xie’s attack!

"Careful!" Nanfeng Yunxi cried out upon seeing this. Mo Xie was simply too terrifying at this moment. Even if they joined forces, she didn’t have the confidence that they could stop him!
