Chapter 1274: Old Xia Devil King?s Opinion

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“What?s going on?” The spectators outside were all shocked. Some devil kings managed to see some clues as they spectated, but how could an existence like Huang Shatian fail to notice these clues?

What ability was it that Qin Wentian used?

“Interesting.” The devil emperor smiled, “From outside, we can see clearly, but the two of them are fighting in close-combat. The darkness starry space must be Qin Wentian?s domain. We cannot feel its influence but Huang Shatian was embedded right smack inside it.”

“In that case, that darkness starry space isn?t an ability of his devil-form?” A devil king furrowed his brows and asked.

“The energy he gained from his devil-form is merely something he wanted to bluff Huang Shatian with. If I didn?t guess wrong, the law of dreams should be present in that dark space. He created a dreamscape and dragged Huang Shatian into it and there?s a high possibility that Huang Shatian had no idea Qin Wentian was proficient in the laws of dreams. If not, given his strong mental fortitude and will, it was very possible for him not to be influenced.” The Fallen Devil Emperor laughed.

Old Xia Devil King, who was at the side, furrowed his brows. This old friend of his seemed to be filled with admiration for Qin Wentian.

“Ultimately, his methods are still unorthodox, on the left-handed path.” Old Xia Devil King calmly stated.

“That attack of his isn?t weak.” The devil emperor stared at the terrifying dark light born of the fusion technique. Just like that time in the sacred academy, this black hole engulfed Huang Shatian completely. The spectators outside couldn?t hear anything but Qin Wentian could hear intense rumbling sounds echoing from within. A black astral wind gusted by, tearing at the sky and earth, the pressure was so great that it felt as though this entire space would crumble.

At this moment, a heaven-opening light flashed by as a crack appeared in the black hole. After which, a light from within grew more and more resplendent, breaking it apart totally from the inside, shattering the black hole completely.

A figure was forced backwards, it was actually none other than the devil-form Qin Wentian. His entire body was enveloped by the fearsome destructive might but droplets of red blood could be seen dripping from his body, appearing extremely vibrantly crimson in the dark light.

Huang Shatian stood there as his aura fluctuated. The emperor light from him dimmed, no longer as bright as before. Only his eyes were still as sharp as ever, staring fixedly at the silhouette of Qin Wentian.

Space itself seemed to freeze. The two of them no longer launched any attacks. The devil-form Qin Wentian was panting heavily, his eyes were like both demon and devil, a far-cry from the Qin Wentian who chose to evade his battles earlier. To gain victory over Huang Shatian, he went all out and spared no expense.

Qin Wentian was confident in himself. He felt that his upgrade in strength as well as after him comprehending a trace of immortal might, he believed he should be able to defeat Huang Shatian if he met him again. However, he clearly still underestimated Huang Shatian. Huang Shatian wasn?t just a level stronger compared to the time back then at the sacred academy.

Huang Shatian was just as confident in himself as well. He said before if he didn?t have the absolute assurance that he could defeat Qin Wentian, he would never have acted. Clearly, he had conviction in himself but he has also underestimated his opponent.

“Cough, cough…”

The sound of coughing broke apart the silence of this space. The corners of Huang Shatian?s mouth dripped with blood. He suddenly laughed and shook his head lightly. Although he was injured, he still stood straight and proud.

“Ultimately, I am still unable to kill you. Seems like the battle between us will continue on. I wonder if the Myriad Devil Islands shall be your burial ground, or mine.” Huang Shatian?s words were cold as ice. He respected his opponent, but his killing intent didn?t change. He wanted to walk on further on this path and hence, he would have to surpass this opponent no matter what.

Qin Wentian?s aura fluctuated, the devil might from him gradually lessened. His demonically handsome face was pale and he didn?t say anything much. The him now was extremely weak, when compared to his original condition.

After the battle in the sacred academy, or in the battlefield here on the Myriad Devil Islands, he still was unable to defeat Huang Shatian, the character who stood at the absolute pinnacle of the immortal-foundation realm. After he gained the founding inheritance of his empire, how could he lose so easily?

“Has it ended?” The spectators outside silently mused in their hearts. So, neither of them were able to gain victory over the other?

They were both already strong enough, and should be proud of themselves.

The devilish third princess Yan Yuruo and Xin Yu finally set their hearts at ease. When they saw how terrifying Huang Shatian was, they were afraid that Qin Wentian might be killed in battle. Luckily, Qin Wentian was much much stronger than their expectations. They had never seen such a powerful character at the devil-foundation realm. The level of power displayed, to them, should be of the devil king?s level.

The other devil cultivators were also deeply shocked by the battle between the two titans. They felt an intense baptism to their hearts and souls. So, the strength they had always been so proud of, was so insignificant. Before the two of them, how weak and inconsequential were they? There was no doubt that if they fought against either Qin Wentian or Huang Shatian, their fate would only be death.

There was now only around a hundred participants still at the Burial Gorge, and a majority were no longer in battle. The devil emperor glanced at the battlefield, he then drank two cups of wine and smiled, “Since there are no more interesting battles, let this event come to an end.”

“Right, I will open the battlefield.” The devil king controlling the formation nodded.

An instant later, the entire battlefield was filled with a fearsome formation light. The participants inside glanced upwards at the sky. They all knew that this has finally concluded.

There was already someone in the devil emperor?s heart.

In such a chaotic battle, it wasn?t really necessary to rank each person specifically. It was just an event at the birthday celebration, allowing the juniors to display their skills. To the juniors, it was a rare opportunity, but to the devil emperor, it wasn?t very important at all.

The formation opened up, all of them discovered that they were standing on the floating platform. Their auras were then all retracted, after which, they inclined their heads and stared in the direction where the devil emperor was at. Many participants then bowed to the devil emperor as a sign of respect.

“Well done.” The Fallen Devil Emperor smiled as he nodded, “Being able to witness the splendor of the younger generations during my birthday celebration, really fills my heart with admiration.”

“Also, many major powers of my Fallen Devil Island would have a chance to recruit even more geniuses into their ranks.”

“Your Majesty, your words are too kind.” The devil kings all laughed.

“Not bad indeed. Also, under that harsh situation, you guys are still able to fight to such an extent without depending on external sources of power.” The devil emperor laughed. Many people turned their gazes to Huang Shatian and Qin Wentian, both of them had powerful divine weapons but in their duel earlier, neither of them depended on those weapons. This was a kind of rule, for those on the martial path.

Similarly, that was also respect for their opponents.

“Everyone, what are your thoughts regarding who the top ten should be?” The devil emperor smiled and cast his glance all around. His words caused the expressions of the devil kings to turn heavy as they turned their gazes to the participants on the platform.

“The characters of that intense battle, Huang Shatian and Qin Wentian, should naturally take two of the spot.” A devil king suggested.

“Also, Old Chai and his unnamed opponent, they should take two of the spots as well.” A devil king spoke. Duan Qianshan who was on the battle platform bowed slightly, “Junior?s name is Duan Qianshan.”

“Alright, these four people are decided then.” The devil emperor nodded.

“Xia Yuan should have a spot as well.” A devil king spoke. Old Xia Devil King had a calm expression, he didn?t recommend Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan who was one of the top rankers on the Devil Rankings, his performance here today in the battlefield wasn?t as dazzling as some other characters.

“Xia Yuan naturally would have a spot.” The devil emperor nodded.

“The three experts beside Qin Wentian are all eligible.” The Blackstone Devil King added, his words causing the expression of everyone to turn solemn. Giving three spots away just like that?

In that case, Qin Wentian, Duan Qianshan, Qi Da, Nanfeng Ruoxuan and Mo Ziyan already took up a total of five spots.

“One of their opponent?s earlier, that white tiger demon, as well as that sword cultivator are both qualified as well.” Someone stated. Those two were from the White Tiger Race and the Paragon Sword Sect, these people were elites who were at the peak of immortal-foundation, chosen specially to be a participant for the adjudication battle. Now that they too were participating in this event, their performances would naturally be outstanding.

Many people had looks of interest on their faces. Among these ten, there were actually quite a number of people who cultivates the immortal path.

“Fine, it shall be these ten then.” The devil emperor nodded, causing the other participants to have disappointed looks on their faces.

“For the rest of you, all of you are still extraordinary geniuses among the junior generations. Your chance will come sooner or later, don?t feel too sad by the results.” The devil emperor smiled. The participants then bowed and retreated from the battlefield.

Right now on the floating battle platform, only ten participants were left, each extremely dazzling in their own rights.

The devilish third princess Yan Yuruo stared at Qin Wentian?s silhouette on the platform as a happy smile filled with warmth appeared on her face. This fellow, he truly did earn his glory.

Her elder sister Yan Yuxin had a disappointed look on her face, and an indescribable feeling in her heart.

As for the Blackstone Devil King and Xin Yu, both of them were happy for Qin Wentian.

Not only were they the focal point of attention from the crowd, Qin Wentian should be one of the top three rankers who would be able to gain a favor from his Majesty, the devil emperor. He could make a request, and as long as it wasn?t too outrageous, the devil emperor would definitely agree.

“Next, which seven participants deserve a reward from me?” The devil emperor smiled, staring at his surroundings.

“The few people beside Qin Wentian, that white tiger demon and that sword cultivator should all receive a reward.” A devil king smiled.

“Mo Ji, what do you think?” The devil emperor smiled at Mo Ji who was beside him.

“Your Majesty, whoever you think deserves to be rewarded, would be rewarded.” Mo Ji shield, not expressing her own opinion.

“Old Xia, what do you think?” The devil emperor then turned to the Old Xia Devil King.

“The few people beside Qin Wentian all displayed overwhelming combat strength and should receive a reward. Also, for Qin Wentian, although he borrowed the power of some secret arts during his battle with Huang Shatian, his combat prowess is most definitely extraordinary, he should be the one most deserving to be rewarded.” Old Xia Devil King spoke, his words causing many experts here to stiffen.

Qin Wentian should be the one most deserving to be rewarded?

These words sounded like they were praising Qin Wentian, but who would fail to understand the meaning behind these words?!
