Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 2024: Overwhelming Victory

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The starlight from the nine heavenly layers shone down on the boundless starry space in the Heaven Vault. This was truly a magnificent sight. There were numerous battlefields in the Heaven Vault now where peak characters of both sides were clashing with each other, participating in the ultimate war for supremacy.

Qin Wentian and Yue Changkong fought at the highest point of the nine heavenly layers, while Qin Yuanfeng and Che Hou fought within the starry space.

The Grand Devil Lord’s soul battle with Beiming Youhuang might not create such a huge commotion but the light radiating from both of them was bright enough to illuminate a boundlessly vast area. The light from Beiming Youhuang was pure and holy, while the light radiating from the Grand Devil Lord was tainted with darkness. Black lotuses bloomed everywhere around him. One represented the light, the other the darkness.

The Grim Reaper and the Heaven Devouring Godking were in another area. Their clash shook the heavens and earth. However, regardless of how the crazy old freak attacked, he had no way to kill the Heaven Devouring Godking, Godking Desolate.

All these were godking-level battles, although some of them might still be a distance away from the true godking-level, the distance isn’t that great.

Other than them, the other deities were fighting as well. In the battlefield belonging to the deities, the situation was extremely chaotic. There were over a hundred deities concurrently fighting. It was like all the heavenly deities of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were gathered here at this moment. There would occasionally be deities dying. These were all lofty characters in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms but at this moment on the battlefield, ordinary heavenly deities were insignificant existences.

After the buddhas from the western paradise joined the battle, it alleviated the pressure the various hegemonic powers were feeling and the situation became more balanced. However, they were still fighting a losing battle. Not too long after, as the battle continued, it was clear that the Heaven Vault still possessed the advantage.

The strength of the deities from the Heaven Vault was too strong, much stronger than anyone’s expectations.

There was an old monster from the God Destroying Palace but the old Qiankun Sect Leader could deal with him. As for the Five Elements Sect and the other hegemonic powers, they had their own trump cards as well. But Qi Yu, Qin Kexin, and the others could handle them. The Heaven Vault also enjoyed the advantage in terms of the number of deities. During these years, another batch of deities was born. Mo Qingcheng, Bai Wuya, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and the rest had all now become deities too. From this, one could very well imagine how fearsome the number of deities the Heaven Vault had.

There were also quite a few powerful buddha lords from the western paradise on the battlefield and their strength was equal to the peak characters from the various hegemonic powers. In fact, there were two buddha lords with strength on the level of old monsters like the old Qiankun Sect Leader. From this, one could tell how deep the foundations of the western paradise was. However, after Jun Mengchen killed the Prison God Clan Leader, he headed straight towards one of them. As for the second one, Little Rascal was keeping him busy. Despite the two buddha lords being old monsters, they were already not enough to defeat Jun Mengchen and Little Rascal.

As for the remaining buddha lords and sacred buddhas, the various devil lords of the Myriad Devil Islands back then, including Bai Qing and the five demon sovereigns, were now a match for them. Their cultivation bases were a far cry from before.

The battlefields where deity-level battles were carried out were simply heaven-shocking. Blood fell like rain from the sky, the scene was extremely intense.

Jun Mengchen was currently fighting against a buddha lord. He unleashed his dao of the world, and his attacks seemed ordinary but all of them contained overwhelming might. When he unleashed his strongest attacks, it felt like the power of entire worlds were packed within his punch, allowing him to pulverize and devastate anything. Despite the strength of his buddha lord opponent and the unfathomableness of his buddha techniques, he was crushed by Jun Mengchen and killed easily.

For Little Rascal, he was in his giant beast form and his eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred. The western world has killed his parents, for this debt of revenge, he naturally needed to repay them for it. From this, one could imagine how much anger he felt now. He devoured the energy from the constellations nearby and formed a heavenly dao body that was invulnerable and extremely powerful. His close-combat attacks could shatter everything. His ability to devour the energy of the heavenly daos caused his opponent to feel extreme trepidation.

Even for Qing`er, she was much stronger compared to the first time the hegemonic powers wanted to invade the Heaven Vault. Her mastery of her dao was simply impeccable, she could kill people silently with ease, and when she does, not even any traces of her could be seen.

Bai Qing was also very powerful, she suppressed her opponent.

“Hey old venom, why did you choose a path of no return and follow Yue Changkong? Do you think he has any regard for any of your lives? Even if he really won and obtained the Heaven Vault, what is the future awaiting you all? By his side, you all have to worry about your lives at every moment and wouldn’t even know how you died. Could it be that you don’t know what sort of person Godking Gu was?” At this moment, a voice rang out. This voice belonged to the old Qiankun Sect Leader and he currently engaging the old monster from the God Destroying Palace in a battle. The poison qi in the air created a miasma but qiankun light could be seen around the old Qiankun Sect leader, isolating him from the poison.

“Don’t even dream about wavering the state of my heart.” The old palace lord of the God Destroying Palace was as thin as a match. He stared at the old Qiankun Sect Leader and continued, “What about you? I’m sure you were also forced to choose a side to serve. No matter what, Yue Changkong is someone who has the power of two godkings in one body. Qin Wentian won’t be able to win against him. The Heaven Vault will be destroyed for sure.”

“Hehe, can you not tell? Leaving side the situation of their battle, at the very least in this battlefield, you guys no longer have any chance to win.” The old Qiankun Sect Leader spoke. The words of the two of them seemed to be intent on causing the other’s heart to waver. Indeed, it was very tough to say who would win or lose. But since they have already chosen their side, they naturally had to go all out. If not, the consequences of failure was clear. They would all die.

At the very least as of now, for the battlefield of heavenly deities, the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect was holding the advantage. Hence, the old Qiankun Sect Leader also gained a psychological advantage. The old monster from the God Destroy Palace frowned, his eyes gleamed with a cunning light as the thought of retreat flashed across his mind. The reason was because they might not be able to hold out until Yue Changkong claimed victory over Qin Wentian.

Not only for him, right now, many experts from the hegemonic powers also wanted to retreat. If they continued to battle, they knew they would all die here.

At this moment, the sound of an intense collision rang out. Through the divine sense of many deities, they saw boundless golden light flaring as a gigantic golden buddha exploded. The golden light flooded everywhere, it was magnificent and beautiful. However, as that buddha lord died, he transformed into a sarira and sought to transform into a beam of light to escape. But how could Jun Mengchen let him do so? He grabbed out and used world force to hold the sarira, crushing it into pieces.

“If I allow people like you to enter reincarnation, you would simply harm others again in the future.” Jun Mengchen coldly spoke. He was filled with immense hatred for these false buddhas of the western paradise and he wanted to slaughter them all. Only if they died would the buddha dao in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms regain its original nature. A deep and thorough cleansing was required.

The Buddha Sovereign and the western paradise have governed the western world for countless years and has caused the buddha dao to long be tainted. Their roots were extremely deep, only by destroying the roots would it be able to start anew.

“Not good.” Many heavenly deities silently mused. After killing that buddha lord, if Jun Mengchen turned his attention to one of them, who could contend against him?

As expected, after speaking, Jun Mengchen was like a freed dragon and directly headed for another heavenly deity who was still in combat. That heavenly deity hurriedly attempted to defend but Jun Mengchen’s fist contained a dominating force that shattered his body and soul. That poor enemy deity didn’t even have the chance to scream.

His divine sense swept across the battlefield and saw a few deities fighting against Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng, wanting to capture them. After that, he instantly rushed over with anger filling his heart. He stepped out, moving across space and not long after, the deities attacking the two ladies were killed by him.

Jun Mengchen’s strength naturally was noted by the other deities who were still fighting. Those invaders all sensed a chill in their hearts.

The godking-level battles have yet to determine the victors but right now, for the battle at the heavenly deity-level, they wouldn’t be able to last much longer.

If this continued, all of them would die here.

“Retreat.” The old monster of the God Destroying Palace was an existence that lived for countless years. Upon seeing the situation was completely against them, he decisively gave the order to retreat. The poison qi around him gushed forth, covering his retreat.

“Retreat!” The other deities from the God Destroying Palace also used poison qi to cover their retreat, fleeing from the battlefield. Upon seeing this scene, the deities from the other hegemonic powers who were still fighting instantly descended into chaos. Victory and defeat hasn’t been clearly spelled out, yet the God Destroying Palace had already retreated. This meant that the deity-level battle here had already ended prematurely.

“Vile creatures, how dare you all retreat. After our western paradise unifies the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, I want to see how any of you can escape!” The buddhas of the western paradise raged.

“We have to be alive if we want to wait until then.” A cold voice rang out, causing the hearts of many to tremble.

All of them had cultivated for countless years but they would be buried here today for the sake of Yue Changkong’s ambition?

If they could see a chance of victory, everything would still be good. But at this moment, even before clear victory or defeat could be determined, there were already people fleeing. If the others continued to fight, all of them would die eventually. They had no time and weren’t able to last until the godking-level battles were decided. In that case, what were they waiting for?

Since the thought of retreat was already in their minds, the hegemonic powers who had been in the disadvantage since the start, naturally all chose to flee. Their morale collapsed completely. This was a vicious cycle, more and more deities from the hegemonic powers began to flee respectively.

“Bastards!” The buddhas of the western paradise angrily roared. They had no way to flee because all their fates were controlled by the Buddha Sovereign.

“Kill them all, don’t let any of them escape.” Jun Mengchen moved with lightning speed as he pursued after the fleeing deities. The eyes of the deities from the Heaven Vault all flickered with coldness. Did these people think that they can flee after they were defeated?

These people have attacked the Heaven Vault twice. How could they spare them? All of them prepared to hunt down the fleeing deities. If they could catch up to them, they would kill them with no mercy.

The deity-level battle became a pursuit instead. The invaders rapidly fled towards the Heaven Vault’s entrance but how could the deities of the Heaven Vault let them leave so easily? In the end, the majority of those who fled were controlled and killed easily since they had already lost the heart to battle.

Very soon, this deity-level battle was already about to be concluded. Those buddhas from the western paradise also couldn’t hold on. Little Rascal began an all-out slaughter, under his sharp claws, numerous enemy deities perished. Divine blood dripped from his claws, raining down to the world below.

After some time, the battle completely ended. The situation here gradually regained its normal calm. However, everyone in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect understood that the true battle has yet to be concluded. The battles that would decide the fate of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were still being fought high up in the air.

“How many have escaped?” Jun Mengchen coldly spoke as he glanced up at the sky.

“It’s already not bad that we managed to gain an overwhelming victory for the battlefield here. Next, we will have to depend on Wentian and the rest.” Luoshen Chuan also turned his gaze towards the sky.

Mo Qingcheng, Qing`er, and the others also stared up at the nine heavenly layers. Their eyes were filled with a hint of worry. They were even more anxious and worried compared to their own battles earlier!
