  Qin Wentian’s speed was extremely fast in this form of a great roc. His entire body gleamed golden, resembling a true golden-winged great roc, and in addition to the explosive strength of his God’s Hand, the energy of his entire body surged upwards, containing incredible might, manifesting numerous after-images of golden rocs as he soared through the air.

  "How swift." A long line of pursuers formed quickly behind him. There were many spectators who tagged along, but a larger portion chose to remain behind at the Stonebell Rampart to witness the battle of Huang Shatian and Huang Wudi. Evidently, they felt that battle would be more interesting.

  Jadestage Fairy Shen Yuehua and her comrades chose to chase after Qin Wentian. She wanted to see how that mysterious young man would be able to escape from this calamity. If Qin Wentian was captured by the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Shen Yuehua could very well imagine what sort of tormentous abuse he would suffer. Even if the rules of the sacred academy doesn’t allow one to kill or cripple, they can still abuse one constantly. Given how Qin Wentian has humiliated Huang Youdi before, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire definitely wouldn’t be polite with him.

  "Seems like we have underestimated him. The him in the form of a great roc seems to be able to unleash true roc techniques. If one wants to catch up to him, most probably geniuses with ordinary cultivation bases wouldn’t be able to do so." A fairy beside Shen Yuehua spoke. Qin Wentian’s speed was too quick, it didn’t seem like the speed of a human but that of a true golden-winged great roc instead.

  The one pursuing him closely was a terrifying genius at the eighth-level of immortal-foundation, someone from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. For this generation, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire seemed to be at a golden age. Huang Shatian, Huang Youdi and Huang Wudi all have outstanding talent. This pursuer was named Huang Dangtian and was similarly an extraordinary genius with terrifying combat prowess. It was only because this golden age of their empire produced Huang Shatian, Huang Youdi and Huang Wudi, which caused his brilliance to be masked by them somewhat.

  Huang Dangtian was definitely an extremely strong individual. He closely pursued after Qin Wentian. Beside him, there was an eighth-level immortal from the Violet Emperor Sect as well as a seventh-level immortal from the Paragon Sword Sect. The speed of these three was incredibly fast, the closest in terms of distance as they pursued Qin Wentian. Behind them, there was still a long line of experts. Seems like these powers are truly determined to capture Qin Wentian.

  Under such speed, this group of people soared across the air. Not long after, Qin Wentian arrived at the entrance of the Sky Connecting Realm, he directly transformed into a streak of lightning and shot into it. Those experts who arrived after him also shot inside with no hesitation, continuing to pursue him. Even though Qin Wentian has chosen to enter the Sky Connecting Realm, they would still choose not to kill him but to torture him endlessly instead.

  "You won’t be able to escape." Not only did Qin Wentian not manage to lengthen the distance between him and Huang Dangtian, the distance actually grew shorter and shorter. Huang Dangtian’s aura could already envelop Qin Wentian’s body but Qin Wentian’s speed was truly too fast. The moment tendrils of Huang Dangtian’s aura came into contact with him, Qin Wentian would unleash a burst of speed and continue soaring ahead. This made it so that Huang Dangtian and the others could only continuously try to shorten the distance as they pursued him.

  At this moment, a figure actually appeared in front of Qin Wentian. With a twist, this figure abruptly expanded in form, transforming into a gigantic white tiger.

  A greater demon white tiger with a seventh-level cultivation base. It exuded a fearsome might and after a roar of rage, it directly lunged towards Qin Wentian, wanting to obstruct him.

  Qin Wentian spread his wings, they shimmered with runic light and slashed apart everything, directly passing through that bout of destructive baleful energy, and rushed straight at the white tiger.

  The white tiger roared in anger again, manifesting an incomparably gigantic white tiger phantom in the air. However, Qin Wentian didn’t pause in the slightest, the supreme light radiating from him grew in intensity and arced through the skies, causing the sound of slicing to ring out. The next moment, the white tiger was directly slashed apart right from the middle. The speed of the golden-winged roc wasn’t affected in the slightest as he continued to speed past. Such power caused those who were pursuing Qin Wentian to feel a slight fear as their hearts trembled a little.

  They couldn’t help but to admit that Qin Wentian’s talent was outstanding. Even though they were his enemies, if Qin Wentian’s cultivation base was at the peak of immortal foundation, he would surely be an unparalleled character the same as Huang Shatian, becoming one of the strongest in the entire academy.

  Sadly, there was no more hope for Qin Wentian.

  The distance of the pursuers grew increasingly closer to him, yet Qin Wentian still continued to speed towards a stretch of desolation in the Sky Connecting Realm. He who was now in the form of a great roc had incomparable loftiness in his eyes as he lifted his head and glanced at the sky.

  The entire sacred academy was enveloped at all times by a unique and strange law, it felt as though there was a pair of eyes monitoring everything, setting the rules, and watching each of their actions.

  Also, Qin Wentian knew that the rules could be amended slightly.

  Back then during the time of the dao lecture by the academy, he and the White Tiger Race had a major conflict. He requested for the sacred academy to open up a life-and-death battle arena and the sacred academy actually agreed.

  Right now, he wondered if such a situation would occur as well within the Sky Connecting Realm.

  "You won’t be able to escape." From behind, a terrifying voice drifted over. It was the voice of Huang Dangtian, he pursued very tightly and most probably he would only need a short while to reach a close enough distance to unleash his techniques to kill Qin Wentian.

  Qin Wentian continued to speed madly ahead, exhausting all his energy just to escape a little further. Everything seemed as though he was fleeing blindly in a panic, not choosing a strategic location but was flying casually into remote areas, into the depths of the desolate mountain range of the Sky Connecting Realm. Whenever a demon spirit appeared, that demon spirit would be sliced apart with indomitable force as Qin Wentian continued ahead.

  Behind him, there were already several experts who were shaken off his tail. Yet those who continued to pursue were undoubtedly the strongest among this batch of people.

  "KILL!" From behind, Huang Dangtian’s emperor might gushed forth, blasting towards Qin Wentian who was up ahead.

  Qin Wentian’s wings shimmered with runic light and directly slashed out a tyrannical attack, borrowing the rebound force to increase his speed explosively in an instant.

  He was still fleeing, it seemed that he wanted to flee to a place where nobody else could reach. Finally, Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the sky as he spoke, "I know there are rules in this academy. Junior Qin Wentian is someone on the Supreme Might Rankings. Now that I’m being pursue by my enemies, is it possible to request the sacred academy to open up an independent battlefield for a life-and-death battle, not stopping until one side is completely annihilated?"

  The sound of his voice contained a burst of coldness and slaughter intent. Even Huang Dangtian who was pursuing after him from a distance felt his heart tremble when he heard that. Has this fellow gone mad?

  Wanting to open up an independent battlefield to fight a life-and-death battle, not stopping until one side was completely annihilated?

  Qin Wentian was so daring?

  There was no reply from the air. But at this very moment, law energies in the Sky Connecting Realm started to circulate and enveloped Qin Wentian as a voice suddenly rang out, "There are so many high level immortals pursuing someone at the fifth level. The request for a life-and-death battle is permitted but since you want such an independent battlefield, the ending is either you kill all of them or you die."

  Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness, he long felt that this academy was exceptionally mystical, able to bear witness to everything. Hence, he carried hope in his heart as he made the request. To think that it would actually be approved.

  However, the reply was very cruel. If he chose to open this independent battlefield, it’s either he annihilated them all or he died himself.

  This, was the price he has to pay to request for an independent battlefield to be opened up in the Sky Connecting Realm.

  "Okay, I will accept it. My request is just an independent battlefield that is cut off from the rest of this dimension. All is good as long as we won’t be disrupted by others." Qin Wentian made his request.

  "Request is permitted." A mist-like voice rang out from the air. After that, terrifying law fluctuations could be felt as a gate appeared up ahead in the distance, shining with powerful law energies. Qin Wentian directly sped forward and stepped into it.

  The next instant, Huang Dangtian arrived. A mist-like voice rang out in his mind, telling him the new rules of the independent battlefield. Although the sacred academy accepted Qin Wentian’s request to do so, the others still had the authority to choose for themselves, they can choose not to enter.

  "Has he gone crazy?!" Huang Dangtian roared when he saw what happened. Was this Qin Wentian trying to court death so badly?

  At this instant, Huang Dangtian stood outside the gate feeling a trace of hesitation in his heart. The sacred academy had other laws present and even if they captured Qin Wentian, they wouldn’t truly be able to kill him. But right now, Qin Wentian actually made such a request to seal his fate, it was like he was intentionally courting death. How could geniuses on the level of Qin Wentian be so foolish and so lacking of foresight? Or maybe, did he have some trump cards he can use?

  "Bzz……" The whistling sound of a sharp sword slicing the wind as well as a thunderous sound of a storm could be heard. The experts from the Violet Emperor Sect and the Paragon Sword Sect both arrived. They instantly heard that mist-like voice as well when they appeared. Right now, they stood together with Huang Dangtian, staring at the gate before them.

  "What are you hesitating about?" The expert from the Paragon Sword Sect asked.

  Huang Dangtian frowned, he was not sure either himself. As a prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and with a cultivation base at the eighth-level…… so what if Qin Wentian’s talent was extremely supreme? He is only at the fifth-level after all, what could he do against him? What……was he hesitating about?

  Releasing his immortal-foundation, emperor might rocked the area. Huang Dangtian stepped out and chose to enter the gate.

  The experts from the Violet Emperor Sect and the Paragon Sword Sect stepped out and entered the gate as well, entering an independent battlefield opened up by the laws of the sacred academy.

  The independent battlefield existed in its own dimension. Huang Dangtian and the two others entered and they only saw Qin Wentian floating in the air with his eyes closed, seemingly in meditation.

  "Are you courting your own death?" Huang Dangtian stared at Qin Wentian as he coldly spoke.

  "Since he wants to court his death so much, let’s send him on his way." The expert from the Paragon Sword Sect snorted coldly. After that, his sword qi hummed and stabbed out as he rushed Qin Wentian.

  Qin Wentian’s perfect saint-grade immortal-foundation was released. Abruptly, an incomparably frightening blood-colored energy covered his entire body. In the next instant, blood runic lines appeared on his skin, as an overwhelming amount of energy rushed into his immortal foundation. The immortal light emitted from the saint-grade immortal-foundation actually turned crimson. And at the next moment, it seemed as though his flawless saint-grade immortal foundation had completed its evolution in terms of energy. The entire immortal foundation seemed to contain inexhaustible law energy and his own body felt like a body of laws.

  The sharp sword intent of the expert of the Paragon Sword Sect shot forward, yet it failed to penetrate Qin Wentian’s body. Huang Dangtian and the rest stared at Qin Wentian whose entire body was pulsing with the power of his bloodline. They actually felt an aura which caused fear in their hearts.

  Very dangerous. The Qin Wentian right now gave off a feeling of extreme danger, causing the hearts of everyone to shudder.

  And at this moment, the expert from the Paragon Sword Sect rode his sword and sped over. Qin Wentian’s eyes abruptly opened and a bloodsoaked light seemed to devour everything. When one looked into his blood-colored eyes, they could faintly sense that they were staring in the eyes of a supreme primordial greater demon.

  "KILL!" The expert from the Paragon Sword Sect roared in anger, unleashing the might of ten thousand swords. However at this moment, the phantom of a blood-colored demon god appeared, directly lifting up its palm and effortlessly destroying the attack force from the sword expert. After that, a gigantic palm shot out, causing the sword expert to tremble violently as he backed away with rapid speed, riding on his flying sword.

  The speed of the blood-colored gigantic palm swept through the air with impetuous force that cause everything to shudder. With a grab, that expert from the Paragon Sword Sect was captured inside the palm.

  "NO!" That expert from the Paragon Sword Sect let out howls of terror, he could faintly sense an intense threat of death.

  "Chi!" A light sound rang out. The fingers of the palm tightened, causing a splatter of blood to splash through the air. That blood-colored demon god actually squashed this opponent to his death!
