In the air, a roc radiating boundless runic light could be seen. Each burst of runic light was akin to the phantom of a great roc being manifested, causing Qin Wentian’s speed to increase further.

What was extremely shocking was that the pair of illusory wings on Qin Wentian’s back, seemed incredibly real. Numerous experts formed a line of over tens of immortal kings from different powers, all chasing after Qin Wentian. Their cultivation bases were extremely powerful and they were even standing on their divine weapons as they soared through the air. All of them were frowning. Qin Wentian’s speed was simply too quick, he must have cultivated a roc-type movement technique before, allowing him to shuttle through space effortlessly, even surpassing their movement speeds when they rode on divine weapons.

“He is using a supreme movement technique to maintain his speed. However, the consumption rate of energy is definitely extremely high for such a high-graded technique. We should continue to pursue him until he runs out of energy. At that time, he will die without a doubt.” An expert from the Sacred Sun Sect coldly spoke. A huge ball of sunflames appeared behind him as he rode his divine weapon, emitting sounds of sonic booms as he soared through the air.

There would occasionally be other experts in the air. When they saw so many people shooting through the skies, all of them felt fear in their heart and instantly opened up a path. Even for immortal kings, they didn’t dare to obstruct these powerful experts. All of them stood to the side as great waves rose up in their hearts. These people are all so powerful, there are several among them who are at the peak-stage of the immortal-king realm while the others were at the mid-stage at the very least. All of them seemed to be pursuing a single target.

This hunt persisted for a long time, traversing through vast amounts of distance. Qin Wentian’s speed was too fast, although his enemies could not close in on the distance, those peak-stage immortal kings who were riding on speed-type divine weapons were still able to maintain the distance, there was no way for him to shake them off. All of their immortal senses were lock onto Qin Wentian, not giving him any chance to escape.

In addition, for those immortal kings who could not maintain such speeds, they would hop onto the speed-type divine weapons of those who were faster, as they continued shooting through the air. It seemed like they wouldn’t rest until Qin Wentian dies.

Up ahead in the distance, Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with coldness as he continued maintaining his speed. He didn’t think that these fellows would be so stubborn, chasing him all the way and showing no signs of giving up.

The map of the central regions flashed in his mind, after ascertaining his location, he abruptly changed direction and shot off towards a certain area. The experts behind him all changed direction as they followed after.

“Can we attack through space to block him?” An expert asked. After chasing for such a long time, the distance between them didn’t decrease at all. This made some of them extremely impatient.

“His defense is extremely strong. Given how far the distance between us is, attacks launched using law-attribute energy would be extremely limited, completely useless before his defense. We won’t be able to delay him.” A peak-stage immortal king spoke in a low voice. Earlier, he had already tried that, but there was no effect.

“The fleeing abilities of this fellow are really excellent. No wonder he dares to be so brazen.”

“No matter how brazen he is, he has to die today.” A peak-stage immortal king’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

The group of them continued shooting through space, passing through several immortal cities, but Qin Wentian was still far out of their reach. This caused all of their expressions to turn extremely unsightly.

“Which city is up ahead?” An immortal king from the Sacred Sun Sect asked.

“It’s a mountain range, I think we will reach the Chaotic Stone Forest soon.”

“Chaotic Stone Forest?”

“It’s a territory governed by an immortal emperor whose title is the Chaotic Stone Immortal Emperor. The stones in the forest are actually ever-changing formations, akin to a gigantic maze.”

Some of the experts furrowed their brows. The territory of an immortal emperor?

At this moment, the mountain range had already appeared in their vision due to their scan using immortal sense. Gigantic rocks were everywhere, the atmosphere was clouded by mist and immortal senses seemed to be restricted in there. As for Qin Wentian, he actually shot straight towards the stone forest.

“That fellow is planning to enter the Chaotic Stone Forest!”

“Maybe he is just careless and has no idea about this place? Once entered, it’s very difficult for people to leave there”

They continued conversing, Qin Wentian actually entered the stone forest. In an instant, his silhouette disappeared from their immortal sense.

The experts hunting Qin Wentian all stopped at the boundary of the chaotic stone forest. Staring at the gigantic stones and rocks before them, they all had a look of helplessness on their faces.

“He barged into this place mistakenly. What should we do?” Someone asked.

“Is this stone forest very terrifying?”

“If we enter, we would most probably be trapped there. There are some rumors saying that if you wish to exit after you enter, you have to beg the Chaotic Stone Immortal Emperor to release you. In exchange, you have to agree to a single condition from him or you would be trapped there forever.”

“Saint Child of the Sacred Sun Sect pays my respects to the Chaotic Stone Immortal Emperor.” A peak-stage immortal king from the Sacred Sun Sect called out as he bowed in the direction of the stone forest. He wanted to use his identity as leverage to meet with the immortal emperor.

“The temper of the Chaotic Stone Immortal Emperor is extremely bizarre, he most probably wouldn’t give face even if we are from peak powers.” Someone transmitted his voice over. That Saint Child had an ugly expression as coldness flashed in his eyes. He had already said his status out loud, would the Chaotic Stone Immortal Emperor really dare to do anything to them if they entered?

“Let’s go in and hunt that person down.” As he spoke, he stepped out, entering the stone forest. The experts behind him all frowned. After that, an immortal king from the Thunder God Hall spoke out, “We are from the Thunder God Hall and pay our respects to senior immortal emperor. Please forgive us for our transgressions.”

After that, the experts from the two peak powers rushed in. Even an immortal emperor would hesitate to do anything to them after they reported their identities, right?

After Qin Wentian entered the stone forest, he rushed straight into the depths. Around him, numerous towering stone pillars could be seen, each of them shining with a dazzling light. These stone pillars were of different heights, each engraved with countless runes. They were able to borrow the force of the heavens and even immortal emperors might be trapped in the maze.

His immortal sense was restricted by the stones and rocks all around as well.

“This formation is really something.” Qin Wentian mused silently to himself. Stepping out, he dashed straight past the stone forest and after sometime, he came to a halt and decided to rest on a huge rock in front of him. He sat down cross-legged and quietly cultivated. It felt like he wasn’t here to take refuge but was here for cultivation instead.

The people hunting him also entered the stone forest. After that, they discovered that they had already lost their way. Their immortal senses were restricted and this forest was simply too vast, so vast that they had no way to exit it, let alone find Qin Wentian.

As Qin Wentian continued to cultivate, a burst of runic light erupted from him as sword qi flowed endlessly, akin to the waters of a raging river. His seven astral souls shone brightly within his Yuanfu, converging into one temporarily as the form of a tiny sword materialized. Boundless sword might gushed forth as the form of the sword turned solid, swimming around the sword qi river around him.

Right now, the third-degree of comprehension with regards to the sword-type holy will has appeared.

However, Qin Wentian didn’t rest. He continued to cultivate and soon after that, the fourth-degree, fifth-degree...all the way until nine tiny swords formed of pure holy sword intent were formed. They hummed noisily, revolving around him. Right now, the energy within his body was completely exhausted. His astral souls lost their luster and his Yuanfu was dried up. But even so, there was a look of intense excitement in his eyes.

He finally stood up and began to walk around this chaotic stone forest while extending his immortal sense outwards. Despite the fact that immortal sense was restricted, he still chose to extend it.

At this moment, Qin Wentian finally encountered someone. That person erupted forth with killing intent, manifesting an ancient bell that shot towards Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness, he then slammed out his palm and unleash the nine tiny swords. In that instant, beams of boundless radiance shot forth, completely shattering the bell and piercing through the body of his opponent. That immortal king died with his eyes wide open, staring at Qin Wentian in disbelief.

Qin Wentian couldn’t be bothered with his opponent’s death. He directly took away his interspatial ring and continued on his way through the chaotic stone forest. Finally, he came to a certain location before he stopped. Sensing the fluctuations in the area, he sat down cross-legged and spoke to the empty space, “Senior, junior will be borrowing the pre-created formation here for my own usage.”

After that, countless runes manifested from his body, entering the ground below him. The law-attribute energies flooded forth, actually connecting the numerous stones that were placed randomly in the area. After that, from above the sky, the astral light from constellations cascaded down, raining on Qin Wentian.

A majestic sword might as well as the radiance from the countless runes, all revolved around Qin Wentian. The diagram of a supreme sword appeared in the air. The domineering sword might that was produced, instantly towered up into the sky.

As the same time, that boundless sword qi river circulated around him, with the tiny swords swimming within it, akin to fishes in the ocean.

The light here was simply too brilliant, it caused all the experts within the stone forest to glance over. After that, their eyes flashed with a cold light and step out, moving towards the source of the light.

The one who discovered Qin Wentian first was actually a peak-stage immortal king, someone from the Sacred Sun Sect. His body glowed with terrifying sun rays as he stared at Qin Wentian who was sitting down cross-legged on the ground. He coldly spoke, “Not fleeing anymore?”

“Why must I flee?” Qin Wentian stared at him and replied.

“Your combat prowess is extraordinary, but if you believe that you can win against peak-stage immortal kings, you would really be sorely mistaken. The disparity in cultivation level isn’t so easily mitigated.” The voice of this peak-stage immortal king was incomparably arrogant. Balls of sunflames appeared above him, ready to blast forth at any moment. Qin Wentian coldly laughed, the towering sword river churned and in just an instant, that sword qi river engulfed everything in the area. The tiny swords that were swimming in the river instantly shot towards his opponent.

“BOOM!” The radiance of the sun rays transformed into an armor of sacred light, blocking the attacks. That immortal king stepped out, intent on incinerating everything. He had a cold smile on his face as he said, “Let me show you what is the price you have to pay for killing someone from my Sacred Sun Sect.”

“Your words are so arrogant even though you are already going to die.” Qin Wentian stabbed out with his finger. The tiny swords directly bore a hole through the sunlight armor, causing the expression of the immortal king to drastically changed. An instant later, the sword qi river rampaged forth, drowning him within the vastness of it.

That immortal king wanted to defend but there was nothing he could do. After being engulfed by the sword qi river, he died directly just a moment later.
