Chapter 612: Obstructed by Heaven

Translator: Iamgt Editor: Iamgt


The members of the Heavenly God Palace who have been quite relaxed became nervous.


“Oh no! Qin Shiqi achieved a breakthrough. Teacher will be in trouble.” Li Chao looked very worried. When Pei Xuelian, who was beside him, heard this, her expression changed drastically as she said to Li Chao, “Senior Martial Brother, do you think…”


The members of the Heavenly God Palace were anxious. On the other hand, the members of the Ying Family appeared to be relieved.


Among the numerous people watching the fight, there were a few Emptiness Realm Experts.


“This is the fight between Pei San and Qin Shiqi. If Pei San dies, then the duel between Pei San and Teng Qingshan will not happen.” Amidst the crowd, a man with silver hair could be seen watching the fight with a smile. It was the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal. Ever since he stopped guarding the county city of Yongan County, he began traveling freely through the Land of the Nine Prefectures.


He experienced the different cultures in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. At least before he reached the end of his life, he was enjoying this leisure lifestyle.


“I will go back to my hometown, the Duanmu Continent, before I die.” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal had already made plans.



Qin Shiqi and Pei San, who were both on top of the Green Dragon Hill, couldn’t care less about the people watching them. They just focused on each other.


“Qin Shiqi, my strongest Dao is the Dao of Godly Ape, a type of Dao in the Dao of Beasts. You are strong enough to make me use the Dao of Godly Ape.” Pei San felt more and more eager to fight. Naturally, he wanted to use his strongest technique. A gigantic black ape appeared behind Pei San. A cold glint flashed in the black godly ape’s fierce-looking eyes as it emanated a murderous aura.


Qin Shiqi raised his brows. A drop of blood seeped out of the red mole between Qin Shiqi’s eyebrows.


In the midst of the atmosphere of mounting belligerence, Qin Shiqi shouted, “Pei San, die!” As drops of blood seeped out of the red mole between his brows, his face went from purple to red. The purple sword in his hand instantly transformed into several sword shadows that were bunched together like arrows. Encircled by swirls of mist, the grey, black, and white swords instantly pierced through the air.


“Buzz~~ It felt like heaven and earth had been sliced apart by these shadows.


“Break!” Pei San roared.


His eyes glowed with a murderous glint. Like a giant ape, he stormed over at lightning speed. With the use of his ten fingers, he nimbly knocked the swords away. Immediately, the sounds of the sky falling and earth trembling started blaring. Pei San actually stopped the movement of the bunch of swords in such a simple manner.


Qin Shiqi’s expression changed.


“Ah~~” He raised his head and shouted furiously.


An abundance of greyish power filled the sky, transforming into swords. The few hundred swords quickly surrounded Qin Shiqi. When the swords had completely enveloped Qin Shiqi, they merged together and became this huge sword. The tip of this sword was the purple sword which Qin Shiqi held in his right hand.


A cold glint of malice flashed in Pei San’s eyes. He clenched his hands and dashed toward Qin Shiqi.


Whew! Qin Shiqi darted over as well. The few hundred swords that created the giant sword sparkled continuously. At the same time, the Power of the World swirled around and was continuously fusing with the purple sword in Qin Shiqi’s hand. At this moment, Qin Shiqi’s body was hidden within the gigantic sword and functioned as a small world.


The core of this small world was that purple sword.


“Rumble~~” Pei San was like a meteorite from outer space, heading for the small world. He concentrated all his energy into the fist.


The fist versus the tip of the sword!


Smash!


The heavens quivered, appearing like the surface of rippling waters. The smash sounded like muffled thunder. The sound of the smash spread across the hill slowly. About ten Zhang of the Green Dragon Hill became dust, causing the hill to become much shorter. The audience held their breath as they watched the fight. They were all shocked speechless.


The smash affected Qin Shiqi and Pei San. Both of them felt the impact and spat a mouthful of blood. However, they immediately dashed towards each other again, appearing as though they were possessed by a demon.


“Die!”


Qin Shiqi shouted. Suddenly, a wave of energy actually flew out of the red mole between his eyebrows and merged with the Purple Sword. When Teng Qingshan saw this, he was astonished and blurted out, “Qin Shiqi is trying to die. How can he put his “Spirit” into his sword?” An Innate Expert could control the movement of a knife with the use of his Spirit.


An Insightful Emptiness Realm Experts would have better control of his”Spirit.” However, he wouldn’t need to insert his Spirit into his weapon. By doing so, it would cause tremendous harm to his Niwan Palace. Obviously, Qin Shiqi would soon perform his strongest technique, putting his own life at risk!


“Roar~~”


Pei San’s eyes looked insane. He formed his left hand into the shape of a claw and clenched his right hand. When he did that, the image of the black godly ape behind him actually became smaller and clearer. Its tail became shorter and its figure looked more refined. It was as though the picture of the godly ape had come to life.


“Buzz~~”


Qin Shiqi held the purple sword in his hand and thrust it toward Pei San like an ordinary person. However, he was just a million times faster. In addition, the direction of his sword kept changing at an inhuman speed and no one could predict where Qin Shiqi might attack.


Instantly, two beams of light clashed.


If this scene was a thousand times slower, one would notice that Qin Shiqi, whose face was covered in blood, had been glaring fiercely at Pei San. At this moment, Qin Shiqi performed the simplest and strongest attack.


“Whew!” When the sword struck out, Pei San punched with his right fist in a charming manner. Instantly, power burst out of his fist and filled the heaven and earth. It felt as though his fist had blocked the heaven as well as the earth.


Pei San’s right fist clashed with the purple sword. “Clang!” The purple sword quivered and cracks started appearing on the sword.


“Slit~~” Pei San’s right glove was ripped.


Clang!


Bang~~~


The two crisscrossed past each other!


Dust and smoke pervaded the air. Both Pei San and Qin Shiqi looked very pale. Pei San’s right glove was torn apart. “Drip! Drip!” Blood flowed down his fingers and dropped on the ground, splattering on the rocks. Qin Shiqi held the broken sword and placed his hand on his chest. He said with a deep tone, “Pei San, if my left hand was not injured, I might not have lost.”


“I can’t accept this!


“I am not willing to accept this!


“I am just this close…this close to reaching the Omnipotent Realm. It has been four hundred years!!!”


Several flashbacks crossed his mind. Back then, the Ying Family taught him the cultivation of sword and he became obsessed with the sword. The sword became as important as his life and he desired to reach the pinnacle of this cultivation. He desired to pierce through the void with his sword, break away from the Land of the Nine Prefectures, and reach the Omnipotent Realm one day.


He had sacrificed greatly for the cultivation of the sword.


“I was so close…”


“So close!” Qin Shiqi trembled as he muttered. When the dust and smoke dissipated, an uproar sounded among the millions of people watching the fight on the mountains around the Green Dragon Hill.


Gradually, Qin Shiqi’s body collapsed, falling hard on the rocks. It felt like a mountain had fallen. At this moment, some noticed that there was a huge hole in his chest, which he had been covering. Qin Shiqi had lost his heart.


“Why… why…”


Pei San’s chest was pierced by Qin Shiqi’s purple sword. His right hand was covered in blood and the huge wound on his chest could be easily seen. Pei San’s body was stained bright red with blood that had gushed out of the wound. At this moment, Pei San looked very pale. He muttered to himself crazily, “Why… Why haven’t I achieved a breakthrough? I already felt death just now. Why…”


Pei San was so close to reaching the Omnipotent Realm.


Both Pei San and Qin Shiqi were really a bit away from the Omnipotent Realm. However, they were both ruthlessly blocked by the heavens from crossing over to the Omnipotent Realm! In the end, they were still humans suppressed by the Land of the Nine Prefectures. They could not break away from the restraints of the land! This last step was extremely difficult to achieve!


The two super-powerful cultivators had fought a fight of life or death.


The one who died obviously failed.


However, it did not necessarily mean that the survivor could reach the Omnipotent Realm.


Attaining the Omnipotent Realm was obviously not easy. Since the beginning of time, there had been many Insightful Emptiness Realm Experts who were extremely close to the Omnipotent Realm. However, the heavens ruthlessly obstructed their path, and eventually, they died when they reached the limit of their lifespan.



Teng Qingshan, who was on the cloud, watched silently. Sadness filled his heart.


Another powerful cultivator had died!


Pei San and Qin Shiqi both wanted to attain the Omnipotent Realm and they were willing to risk their lives for it. But sometimes, hard work and risk-taking would not guarantee a successful outcome.


“Teacher!”


The green-cloaked young man, who stood beside Ying Haitong, screamed and mourned loudly when he saw this scene. He knelt down helplessly and trembled as he wept.


Qin Shiqi died!


In the first duel between the strongest cultivators, Pei San fought against Huang Tianqin, and Huang Tianqin died.


In the second duel, Pei San fought against Qin Shiqi, and Qin Shiqi died.


Numerous people who had watched the fight began discussing loudly. They were truly amazed by what they had seen.


Suddenly—


“Hahahahaha…” A loud arrogant laughter shook the earth. Everyone heard it and resonated with the emotions conveyed by the laughter. Somehow, when they heard the laugh, they all felt like crying.


Everyone saw—


Pei San, who was covered in blood, guffawed. He looked up at the sky and laughed crazily.


Teng Qingshan, who was on the cloud, watched this in silence.


Through the laughter, he could feel the sadness in Pei San’s heart! Pei San desired to become an Omnipotent Expert. However, even after he experienced the realm of life and death, he still failed to cross over to the Omnipotent Realm.


The laughter stopped abruptly.


With bloodshot eyes, Pei San roared internally, “The Land of the Nine Prefectures! I will break through the void! You will not suppress me! You will not stop me!!!” The feeling was so intense. This belief he had held for countless years crossed his mind over and over and his desire to attain greatness rose strongly inside him, stronger than he had ever felt.



The Green Dragon Hill was ruined.


Numerous people were still on the top of the mountains near the Green Dragon Hill. All of them stared at Pei San, who stood on the Green Dragon Hill. Pei San’s entire body was covered in blood. Everyone knew that Pei San was now the strongest cultivator in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. And now, only Teng Qingshan was powerful enough to compete with him.


“Teng Qingshan!”


A cold and fierce voice sounded loudly. Pei San raised his head and stared at Teng Qingshan, who stood on the clouds, dressed in a white cloak.


“Huang Tianqin died after he fought with me. Qin Shiqi fought with me and died as well!” Pei San looked at Teng Qingshan, his eyes filled with a burning desire. “It is extremely difficult to become an Omnipotent Expert. We must try our very best. Our minds must be clear of any distracting thoughts. We must also be willing to risk it all. Only then will we get the chance to achieve a breakthrough!”


“Teng Qingshan, you and I will fight in three years. In the end, you might die or I might die!”


“If you are afraid of fighting against me, then don’t show up!”


“Those who are afraid are not qualified to engage in a life-or-death fight with me.” Pei San stared at Teng Qingshan coldly as he said, “On the 18th of December, three years from now, I will be waiting for you on the White Horse Lake in the region of Yangzhou. You have the right to decide if you want to show up or not!”


The voice sounded like the furious roar of the god of heaven. It resounded in the sky above the Qinling Mountain Range and in the ears of the millions of people in the surroundings.
