Qin Wentian who was in roc form, radiated an intensely cold and terrifying demonic qi. He ignored the attacks from the projections of the white tigers, standing there like an immovable mountain. With a roar of rage, sharp swords actually manifested, piercing through the heads of those white tigers.

His eyes were like ice as he stared at that expert from the Sacred Sun Sect.

?Why? Are you unhappy?? The expert from the Sacred Sun Sect coldly spoke with disdain when he saw Qin Wentian?s gaze. ?That old roc should have died long ago, I?m merely sending him earlier to his destination. You hid behind him and managed to last this long. This is just an insult to the rest of us. However, upon seeing this attack of yours, you should have some strength and a powerful fleshly body. Demons are demons after all, even if you aren?t from the royal faction of the roc clan, your body is still extremely tough. However, it isn?t so easy to fend off these surprise attacks, right??

Qin Wentian didn?t bother to reply and continued coldly staring at that human expert. That expert had a look of contempt on his face. ?If you want to take revenge, I can kill you any time, letting you accompany that old roc in a sea of flames. Do you believe it??

?I do.? Qin Wentian spoke in a hoarse voice as he stared at the human expert. After that, he turned his glance away and no longer looked at him.

?Hmph.? That expert from the Sacred Sun Sect snorted disdainfully and continued on his way. In fact, he couldn?t even be bothered to kill Qin Wentian. For a mere initial-stage demon king, without the protection of the old roc, it would definitely die here. He couldn?t be bothered to act.

?If you can still survive, continue on the path. You might receive some good fortune and enjoy an evolution. At that point of time, you might have a chance to seek revenge. If not, they will simply crush you here, no difference from crushing an ant.? The expert of the Phoeroc race calmly spoke. The demon race had always looked up to the strong. If Qin Wentian could evolve, he would have a chance for revenge. If he didn?t have the capabilities to, he can just die now.

?That old roc should have died long ago. He couldn?t even endure much longer, yet he still kept shielding the young roc. He was simply courting death.? A greater demon from the Evil Eye Race coldly spoke. All of them had to put in so much effort to survive until this point, yet that young roc managed to reach here so easily due to the protection from the old roc king. This made them extremely unhappy, all of them treated it as an insult.

Qin Wentian didn?t bother with the voices of others, as though he didn?t hear their words of mockery and disdain. This place was the gathering point for the elite greater demons and humans of the immortal realms. Ordinary characters would never be able to reach this point. The reason why he was in roc form was that he wanted to keep a low profile. If he was here in his original form, he might not have been able to reach this point. Also, the stronger everyone was, the more brutal the future clashes would be. At this moment, everything was still relatively peaceful but once the clashes began, no one would show any mercy.

His eyes gleamed with a cold light as killing intent surfaced in his heart. However, he knew what he needed to do now, hence when he moved forward, his steps were as resolute as before.

The surprise attacks from the void continued as the experts continued resisting and defending. Qin Wentian discovered that those demons with superior bloodlines were extremely tyrannical. Although it was tough for them to advance forward, they could depend on their innate gifts to ignore the attacks as they continued forward. As for the humans, their talent was superb and had powerful innate techniques and law domains to aid them as they continued on.

Qin Wentian was as low-profile as ever, extremely inconspicuous. Everytime an attack appeared, he made it seem that he had to struggle very hard to resist it. When all the other experts saw that, their eyes flashed with cold disdain as their lips all curled up in sneers.

On this ancient path, Qin Wentian had personally seen the fall of many experts. Their movements here were all restricted and they could only depend on the toughness of their bodies as well as their innate talents to proceed on. Even for the greater demons of the royal factions, plenty of them died as well. The appearance of the Path of Ascension to the peak of the Demongod Mountain made it so that many demons were fated to evolve and even more would die here as well.

To the Desolate Mountains, this was a cruel evolution.

And to the humans of the immortal realms, those who could reach this point were all extraordinary characters but their achievements would still be limited. After all, this place, was a god mountain for demonkind.

Finally Qin Wentian, who was in roc-form, reached the end of this path. This path was traversed with much effort and when he finally exited, many gazes turned to him, including those greater demons and human cultivators who had traveled with him earlier. Their eyes were all filled with bewilderment.

?You actually survived and managed to exit the path?? The expert from the Sacred Sun Sect who killed the old roc king had an expression of interest in his eyes.

Even the phoeroc who spoke earlier felt extremely puzzled. Although a great roc can also be considered an extraordinary demon, Qin Wentian?s form was that of an ordinary roc and not the golden-winged great roc who are the royal faction of the roc race. How can he pass the trial so easily?

?Seems like the luck of this roc isn?t too bad. The death of the old roc king did manage to aid him after all.? An expert of the Evil God Race calmly spoke as many nodded in agreement. Seems like the death of the old roc wasn?t in vain. But even so, Qin Wentian was still on a path of death.

His cultivation base was after all merely at the initial-stage, he simply wasn?t qualified to continue advancing.

Qin Wentian glanced before him, there were many experts gathered here, including some demon and immortal emperors. They stood at the furthest point, glancing at another path which led up to the peak of the Demongod Mountain.

Over there, several powerful greater demons stood guard. These greater demons weren?t from the Desolate Mountain Range but were the protectors of this place. They didn?t seem to have any lifeforce but each of them radiated a fearsome aura. They seemed to be puppet demons produced by this place, guarding this checkpoint, blocking those who sought to ascend.

Earlier, there were some powerful demonic beasts who tried but they were all knocked back, narrowly losing their lives.

?There are so many emperor-ranked characters.? Qin Wentian felt shocked in his heart. The speed of immortal emperors was extremely fast, they had all arrived here before even the immortal kings set foot in this place. He noticed that the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, as well as some extraordinary peak-stage immortal emperors, were here as well. One among them radiated a sense of holiness and was extremely dazzling just by standing there, beautiful to the extreme. Such beauty actually wasn?t inferior to the number one beauty of the northern regions, Beiming Youhuang.

Behind that maiden, Qin Wentian saw some familiar figures. They were none other than Nanfeng Guhong and the other holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan.

?Is she the Southern Phoenix Matriarch?? Qin Wentian mused. Even the matriarch of the Southern Phoenix Clan had personally arrived here. The Southern Phoenix Clan naturally possessed the bloodline of a phoenix and had a connection with the demon race. It was understandable why she would come here. Right now, the greater demons of the Desolate Mountain Range were on the verge of rising up due to this phenomenon, granting them a chance at evolution. The sacred academy has appeared in the immortal realms as well. Each major power could sense the changes coming and knew that the situation in the immortal realms would soon fall into chaos. They had to strengthen themselves and prepare for the worst.

Not only has the Southern Phoenix Matriarch arrived, but even Beiming Youhuang was here as well. She was standing behind a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man radiated an imperious feeling, incomparably majestic. He was none other than the Darknorth Immortal Emperor whom Qin Wentian had met before.

Also, Pei Qing who had a grudge with Qin Wentian was present too. He stood behind an old man. The aura of the old man was ethereal but extremely tyrannical. He should be the master of Pei Qing, a peak-stage immortal emperor. Although he held no claims over any territories, he had several disciples and great influence, able to stand on equal grounds with the Darknorth Immortal Emperor.

Other than these, there were also other immortal emperors here. Naturally, the number of demon emperors were greater and their auras felt more powerful, each akin to a desolate beast god, with might that could shake the skies.

?Everyone, when can the Path of Ascension be opened? We have already been waiting here for many hours.? Someone asked.

?There are still some who have yet to arrive. When everyone is here, the path will naturally be opened. There?s no need to ask to much now.? An ethereal voice drifted over in reply. Everyone here was a supreme expert and naturally wouldn?t lack patience. It was just that they were filled with too much anticipation with regards to reaching the peak of the Demongod Mountain.

There were also people speculating where did that voice originate from. Could it be that the Demongod Mountain was sentient? However, towards this mysterious mountain, no matter what happened, they wouldn?t feel too surprised about it.

In this place, even a supreme peak-stage immortal king would be inconspicuous let alone a mere initial-stage roc.

Qin Wentian stood at the back, glancing at these supreme characters as a faint sharpness shone in his eyes. All of a sudden, he glanced towards the direction of an extremely powerful nine-headed demon emperor. Each of the nine heads was like a demon god that had the ability to devour the skies. On the shoulders of this demon emperor, there actually was a snowy-white little puppy, appearing somewhat comical as though the puppy shouldn?t have appeared here.

?Brahma Heavenly Emperor?? Qin Wentian glanced at that greater demon. This demon actually resembled the statue of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor which he encountered in the city of ancient emperors. Could it be that Little Rascal?s race had a connection with the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. To think that the fearsome Brahma Heavenly Emperor which once dominated the entire immortal realms was actually a demon emperor.

Purgatory was on the other shoulder. In addition, both her and Little Rascal were actually already at the demon king realm.

?Seems like this supremely strong demon emperor granted them a bout of extremely good fortune. In addition to the lucky chances they encountered on the Demongod Mountain, they both have clearly evolved.? Qin Wentian silently mused. This god mountain was the number one legend in the Desolate Mountain Range. With such a powerful demon emperor protecting them, how could Little Rascal and Purgatory not evolve?

Little Rascal sneakily cast a glance at Qin Wentian, winking at him. Qin Wentian nodded slightly, but nobody noticed his micro movements.

After that, there were still experts who came out of the previous pathway. The Path of Ascension ahead was still locked. It seemed that the path they took earlier was just a trial for them to qualify for ascending the mountain. Hence, the spirit of the Demongod Mountain purposely made everyone wait until everyone was here.

Qin Wentian quietly walked to a side and laid down, closing his eyes in cultivation. Nobody would be bothered about the existence of an ordinary roc here.

This period of cultivation lasted quite a while and finally, a radiant light shone from the peak of the god mountain as the final Path of Ascension opened up, radiating a boundless and mystical aura.

Powerful auras gushed forth from the emperors as they stepped out with no hesitation, entering the Path of Ascension. To the demon emperors, this was a rare opportunity for them to improve. As for the humans, even if they couldn?t achieve any benefits, they still wanted to take a look for themselves at this legendary place of the Desolate Mountains.

The experts all entered one by one. Qin Wentian, who was in the form of a roc, also stood up and followed behind the others silently. At the instant he entered, he saw that the many experts before him had all been teleported to a sealed battlefield space. Countless demon spirits could be seen around, and winning against them was undoubtedly the test to continue advancing.

At the next moment, Qin Wentian only felt a terrifying energy enveloping him as he too, was brought into a separate space. In here, there was no way for him to gather any law energy. He could only depend on the current amount of astral energy within his body, as well as the strength of his physique.

It isn?t going to be so easy to advance up to the peak of the Demongod Mountain!
