Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“You guys are also the grand-disciples of the Realmlord?” The madman glanced at Murong Xiaoxiao and the rest. Earlier, these people were together with Shan Lengqiu, this was why he asked this question. If these people were also the grand-disciples of the Realmlord, he naturally wouldn’t want to touch them.

Spending a thousand years to sharpen a sword, he had been lonely for far too long. Now that the sword-sharpening was complete, he wanted to use blood to drench it. Upon feeling the empyrean energy in his body, he felt extremely happy. Hence, he abandoned everything and didn’t suppress his heart that wanted to go wild. This was why he went on a killing spree.

“We are Brother Shan’s good friends.” Murong Xiaoxiao and the others spoke.

“Is that true?” The madman glanced at Shan Lengqiu. Shan Lengqiu shook his head, “I’m not too familiar with them.”

At this instant, the expressions of Murong Xiaoxiao and the others all turned pale. They turned and stared at Shan Lengqiu with rage. This bastard was actually so ruthless, wanting to make them die.

Shan Lengqiu himself narrowly lost his life, he didn’t want to offend this man anymore. He didn’t feel that the face this man had given him would stretch far enough for him to beg for mercy for this group of people. Although Murong Xiaoxiao was very beautiful, but given his status, how could he be lacking of beautiful women? It was fine if she wanted to fawn on him normally. But at such a time, he couldn’t care less. In addition, he had presented his ugly side to everyone today. If everyone who saw it died, it would be much better.

“Brother Shan, aren’t your actions too despicable?” A person from the Desolate Ground’s Four Palace spoke. However, the moment the words left his mouth, a terrifying flow of sword intent pierced right into the center of his brows. He instantly fell to the ground dead. At the same time, terrifying beams of sword light chased after those who were fleeing, causing blood to flow unceasingly.

This madman’s control of sword laws has already reached a transcendent state where he could use it as his heart desires. It was effortless for him even if he wishes to kill someone from a thousand miles away. There was basically no way for anyone to escape.

“Still want to flee?” Swordcraze pushed his hair back as he coldly laughed. His gaze was extremely terrifying.

“Senior, you have already transcended the emperor realm. Why must you make things difficult for juniors like us?” Yi Qing stared at the madman as he spoke.

“Because I like it.” That madman laughed. “A thousand years to sharpen my sword. Now that I’ve gained completion of my dao, how can I not let myself go wild?”

“Completion of your dao?” A voice suddenly rang out.

“You merely gained comprehension of the source origin of sword laws, how can you make such a grand claim like this? If your dao is already considered complete, what about the Realmlord?”

This voice was somewhat mocking. Everyone felt puzzled, who would dare to be so audacious?

They turned their gazes over, Yi Qing and his group actually started when they discovered it was Qin Wentian who spoke. He actually said such a thing at this moment. Was he courting death?

That madman turned his gaze to Qin Wentian as an expression of interest appeared on his face. There was actually someone who didn’t fear death here? He laughed, “In that case, in your opinion, what is the completion of dao?”

“Although you have comprehended the source origin of swords and obtained empyrean-level strength, able to soar as you will through the skies, you must know that the Great Dao is ethereal. Can what you comprehend now be considered as completing the great dao? Right now, senior has awakened your law’s will, using it to control the laws, acting as your heart desired. You can even say that your will is heaven’s will, but is it really so?” Qin Wentian asked. He then continued, “Let alone senior with your empyrean cultivation base, even world overlords cannot represent heaven’s will with their will.”

“I feel that the great Dao is supreme and eternal. One day when one truly reaches the state where his will equals to heaven’s will, every single thought by him would cause the sky and earth to tremble, controlling the lives of everyone with ease. If your dao is complete, why do you feel the need to use such cruel methods to deal with everyone here? Only after a dao is complete would that person truly be free from all bindings in the world. He would be able to calculate the destiny of everything and manipulate fate if he wants it. Why would he need to use such cruel killing methods to prove his own accomplishments? What you have comprehended, is nothing more than a part of the grand eternal dao. A mere minor dao.”

The smile on the madman’s face widened. He stared at Qin Wentian and laughed, “Your comprehension really isn’t bad and you gained the insight earlier that the laws can take on countless forms. Now, after listening to what you have said, I have to agree that it makes sense. Me killing people is nothing more than to satisfy myself and to celebrate the fact that I’ve succeeded in sharpening my sword. But so what of it? I can do it because I like it. So what if you are right? I still want to kill you.”

“Senior, please provide me with some guidance then.” Qin Wentian spoke. That madman’s eyes flashed, staring at Qin Wentian in bewilderment. Guidance?

Could it be that this young man believes that he could fight against him?

Upon seeing law energies radiating from Qin Wentian, that madman laughed out loud, revealing his white teeth. His laughter contained a hint of evil to it. With an intention of his will, a sword river appeared in front of him as it gushed towards Qin Wentian. This terrifying sword river wanted to bury Qin Wentian completely within.

Qin Wentian didn’t use his sword laws. He released his buddha law energy and manifested a golden dharma body around him to protect himself, isolating him from the attacking sword laws.

When the terrifying sword river gushed forth, the nature of it instantly became extremely sharp. However, when it gushed into the dharma body, it was like it encountered a great obstruction. Although the sword intent in the attack continued to seep in, it had no way to directly destroy the dharma body.

This was the first time Swordcraze had met such a scene. When he killed others, it didn’t take any effort at all. But now, his sword river was actually being blocked.

Murong Xiaoxiao and the others were completely stunned. They stared with shock at this scene. The dharma body was actually able to block the madman’s attacks. This Tianwen was actually so powerful?

Before this when the madman attacked Shan Lengqiu, he easily subdued him. One could tell the disparity in strength between Shan Lengqiu and Qin Wentian with just a single glance.

However, not too long ago, their opinions differed as they discussed the dao. Because of that, Shan Lengqiu tyrannically suggested a spar but Qin Wentian didn’t respond to that. At that time, they all felt Qin Wentian didn’t dare to battle. But from the looks of things now, what an irony. Shan Lengqiu was clearly in the wrong and his strength was inferior. Yet, he was still so tyrannical. Regardless of comprehension abilities or strength, Qin Wentian was stronger than Shan Lengqiu, yet he kept a low-profile.

From this, the disparity between them was clear.

Yi Qing and the others coldly looked at Shan Lengqiu, their eyes filled with a mocking expression. Earlier they followed Shan Lengqiu, but now Shan Lengqiu had abandoned them with no hesitation. It was Qin Wentian who spoke up to temporarily alleviate them from the danger of certain death.

Shan Lengqiu’s expression was extremely ugly to behold. He who had always been proud and lofty, felt extremely tiny and inconsequential now. When he sensed the looks of contempt Yi Qing and the others threw him, his facial features contorted.

That madman had a look of astonishment when he saw Qin Wentian’s defense. He waved his hand and boundless sword might was generated in an instant, raining down on the dharma body. The bursts of sword might sometimes had the attribute of heavy swords, containing immense power, and sometimes would be extremely sharp, capable of slicing through everything.

Qin Wentian’s dharma body continued expanding. A countless number of runes were within as they transformed to deal with the occasion. Those years ago, he had already defeated many supreme and transcendent-level emperors when he was just at the mid-stage. Now given his current cultivation base, transcendent-level immortal emperors wouldn’t even be able to withstand a single strike. His astral souls were all from the 8th heavenly layer after all. From this, one could very well imagine how strong his laws were.

At this moment, Qin Wentian’s gigantic dharma body suddenly manifested many arms. These arms expanded in size and launched their attacks. He wasn’t going to passively defend.

The hearts of many trembled. When facing against an expert who had comprehended the source origin of a law, Qin Wentian was actually powerful enough to retaliate.

The eyes of the madman flashed. His dishevelled hair fluttered in the wind. His fingers formed sword mudras as numerous terrifying sword intents, in the form of lotuses, appeared from his sword river. The petals of the sword loti covered everything, tearing the dharma arms into pieces.

The petals continued and flew towards Qin Wentian as they expanded in size, forming a gigantic version of a sword lotus, wanting to rip Qin Wentian apart.

Numerous spatial gates appeared as a fearsome pair of phantasm eyes appeared in the air. The eyes shot a glance at the madman, instantly dragging him into a dimension. At the next moment, Qin Wentian stepped through a spatial gate in front of him and appeared before the madman in an instant, bypassing the sword lotus.

The madman instantly broke free from the eye-technique dimension. However, what awaited him was a burst of incomparably resplendent radiance.

“BOOM!” His sword intent instantly covered himself. When the fist of radiance slammed into him, he was forced back several steps, to the edge of the sword river raining from the sky. After a few moments, the madman straightened his body. His gaze grew even more terrifying. He was actually forced back by Qin Wentian.

The people in the surroundings felt their hearts shaking, all of them staring in shock at Qin Wentian. That madman who sharpened his sword for a thousand years and came out after succeeding, wanting to celebrate his success with the blood of everyone here, was actually stopped by this transcendent-level immortal emperor?

“You are not Tianwen, you are Qin Wentian! The northern governor of Lifire City. Tens of years ago, during the last grand banquet, you defeated everyone else from the eight other world palaces with your cultivation base at the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm, gaining the admiration of the Realmlord.” Yi Qing suddenly spoke. Although he wasn’t present during the grand banquet then, he had heard of that battle before. Qin Wentian and Di Tian were simply too famous and their stories were spread everywhere. When Yi Qing thought about the name ‘Tianwen,’ he was suddenly struck by a flash of light and connected the dots to Qin Wentian.

“Qin Wentian?” The people from the Desolate Ground’s Four Palaces and Murong Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise. This man was proclaimed by the Realmlord to be one of the two immortal emperors in the younger generation with the most potential. When compared to him, Shan Lengqiu was nothing at all. After all, Qin Wentian was merely a mid-stage immortal emperor back then. But now, his cultivation base was already at the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm.

However Qin Wentian was different from Shan Lengqiu. He was truly low-profile enough.

When the madman heard that Qin Wentian was someone admired by the Realmlord, he frowned and spoke, “Your control over your laws is very strong. However, you still cannot win against me since I’ve comprehended the source origin of the laws of sword.”

“Senior, other than the fact that your sword laws surpassed mine, I’m not at any disadvantage in terms of other laws. It won’t be an easy task if you wish to defeat me.” Qin Wentian replied.

“Even if it’s so, how can you block me if I want to kill the others?” The madman coldly laughed.

“I naturally won’t be able to block you. However, in the future, I will definitely be able to kill you.” Qin Wentian looked at the madman as he calmly stated.
