Chapter 1313: Questioning the Devil Experts of the Devil Mountain
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Sorrow radiated from Huang Shatian. Death wasn't terrifying, it's just that he felt an extreme reluctance in his heart. He had always believed that his accomplishments wouldn't lose out to ancient emperors of the past, he would bring forth a new era, and become the king of that era. That, was his goal, as well as his conviction. But now, someone of the same generation actually suppressed him so badly. This was the reason for his sorrow.
Qin Wentian could also sense the sorrow. From a certain perspective, Huang Shatian was indeed an opponent who was worthy of respect. Ignoring the situation they are both in, just based on strength alone, he was absolutely a top-level genius. However, since they were both born in the same era, they are already fated to be enemies. One of them would die if the other wanted to survive. There was no need to doubt this point.
Hence, Qin Wentian wasn't softhearted at all, he unleashed his full strength as he attacked. The spectators outside couldn't seem to see the battle clearly, these two peak-level immortal-foundation experts both had supreme treasures. Their strength had already exceeded the boundaries of peak immortal/devil-foundation. In fact, even ordinary immortal and devil kings might die to them.
Just their attack radius alone, already encompassed a terrifyingly vast area.
"Enough." At this moment, a thunderous voice boomed. The crowd shuddered violently and a moment later, as they stared in the air, an incomparably gigantic palm imprint of darkness manifested, blotting out the sun. It directly entered through the screen of swords and broke apart the attacks of both Qin Wentian and Huang Shatian.
The gigantic palm was too terrifying. Devil might ravaged the surroundings as it forced Qin Wentian and Huang Shatian apart. With a flash of light, Qin Wentian kept his treasured cauldron, having no intentions to expose its secret.
Lifting his head, he glanced up at the air with an extremely cold expression, while radiating an icy intent.
Evidently, there was an expert from one of the supreme devil halls who forcibly intervened to stop the battle between him and Huang Shatian.
"All of you, get back up to the Devil Mountain." A voice rang out, ringing with force of command, and unquestionable authority. Qin Wentian coldly replied, "The Devil Mountain failed to safeguard the safety of my friends, forcing them down the mountain. This is already defying the will of the Myriad Devil Sovereign. Now that we are fighting a fair battle to settle our grudges, a senior actually intervened and stopped us. I don't understand, what do you all mean by this?"
Everyone turned their gazes onto Qin Wentian, silently musing at how audacious this fellow is. For true geniuses, their guts were naturally extraordinary as well. He actually dared to question the experts of the Devil Mountain.
"Then, are you going up the Devil Mountain or not?" The voice of the expert rang out again, directly ignoring Qin Wentian's question, still as domineering as ever.
Qin Wentian's gaze turned cold. Should he ascend the mountain or not?
All of them were already at the foot of the mountain. What sort of entity was the Devil Mountain? The powers there could kill him effortlessly.
Also, Bai Qing was still on the mountain. He had to go back there no matter what.
Qin Wentian had no choice.
Since he had no choice, Qin Wentian could only laugh coldly. He didn't say anything more and headed towards the path leading to the top of the Devil Mountain. He was extremely decisive, he didn't even bother to glance at Huang Shatian.
Evidently, since the Devil Mountain wanted to interfere. It was impossible for him to kill Huang Shatian now.
Everyone was staring at Qin Wentian's back, while musing silently about what he was thinking in his heart.
Qin Wentian's group of experts all followed after him. Their countenances were unsightly as well. The situation of the battle earlier was extremely advantageous to their side. If the battle continued, Qin Wentian was highly likely to be able to kill them. Yet, at the critical moment, the experts of the Devil Mountain had intervened and even asked them to get back up the Devil Mountain. They were naturally unhappy about this.
Huang Shatian still stood there. He had an extremely complex look on his face, tinged with disappointment and melancholy. Experts on his side also had looks of complication as they stared at Huang Shatian. From a certain perspective, the adjudication battle was also a battle between Huang Shatian and Qin Wentian. Both of them was simply too strong, a level higher compared to the rest. They were kings of this cultivation realm and whoever gained victory between them, was highly possible to be able to dictate the ending of the adjudication battle.
Yet, the unexcelled Huang Shatian of the past, was actually defeated in this battle today.
Qin Wentian and his group once again stepped on the stairway to ascend the Devil Mountain. There was no longer any obstruction, their silhouettes flashed and they arrived at the peak of the mountain very quickly.
They only stopped after arriving at the area outside the Saint Devil Hall. Those people from his side who were expelled earlier all came back. This caused the eyes of many devil experts to flash, and right now, experts from the supreme halls were all moving towards here as well. Qin Wentian and Huang Shatian were actually the same, both of them exited the Saint Devil Hall with an inheritance. But after he exited, Qin Wentian instantly rushed down the mountain to aid his friends.
"Which inheritance did you obtain from the Saint Devil Hall?" A voice drifted over from the void. Clearly, it was a supreme expert from one of the devil halls at the peak who asked. Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the air while coldly laughing in his heart, "Senior, are you integrating a prisoner?"
"Or maybe, the Devil Mountain has never respected the will of the Myriad Devil Sovereign before. Everything was a lie, to plunder the inheritance power granted by the Myriad Devil Sovereign."
"Insolent!" A cold voice rang out, emitting majesty. A heavy pressure descended from the sky and directly bore down on Qin Wentian, terrifying to the extreme.
Qin Wentian suddenly began to laugh uproariously, in an extremely condescending manner. "Did I say anything wrong? My friends were all invited here by the white-robed apostle and they have all passed the test of the Myriad Devil Sovereign, complying with his will as they ascended the mountain. However, simply because Huang Shatian obtained an inheritance, all the supreme devil halls coveted it and defied the sovereign's will, forcing my friends to get off the mountain. Is this the respect the Devil Mountain has for the Myriad Devil Sovereign?"
"And as for me, I came out from the sacred ground yet I was immediately under suspicion. I, who is under the radiant light of the devil sovereign, am now being treated like a common criminal. Is this the attitude the supreme devil halls have towards inheritors? Does anyone really respect the Myriad Devil Sovereign at all?" Qin Wentian explosively shouted, with guts as big as the sky.
Sometimes, one had to act more insolently. If you endure, others would want a foot while you gave up an inch, giving you no path to retreat
As the sound of his voice faded, countless gazes from the devil cultivators stared at Qin Wentian. The atmosphere here was cloaked in silence.
"The Judiciary Devil Hall as the protector of the Myriad Devil Sovereign's will, you should be in charge of law and order, as well as judging everything fairly. Now, is your behavior protecting the sovereign's will?" Qin Wentian continued speaking.
"Even if you gained an inheritance of a certain supreme devil hall, you are not qualified to be this arrogant. You are merely a junior who ascended the Devil Mountain. Even if we really kill you, do you think the Myriad Devil Sovereign would blame us?" An icy voice rang out, originating from the Darkness Devil Hall.
"I left strands of immortal sense back in the immortal realms. If the Devil Mountain acts against me, this mean that the devil halls on the peak of the Devil Mountain are all traitors, betraying the will of the Myriad Devil Sovereign. I naturally will ensure that the inheritance I obtain wouldn't fall into the hands of these traitors. Not only that, I will make sure to circulate the inheritance to every corner of the immortal realms, and make immortal realm cultivators come all the way here to hunt the traitors of the Devil Mountain." Qin Wentian's voice was extremely domineering and cold.
"Impudent!"
"How dare you!" Cold voices thundered out.
"If we kill you instantly, your immortal senses would also fade away. Are you courting death?"
Qin Wentian's arrogant words stirred the anger of these supreme devil cultivators as all of them spoke at the same time.
"Is that so? Can you all be so sure that I don't have an avatar outside? There are so many cloning/avatar creation techniques in the immortal realms, and for some of the more powerful ones, even if the original body dies, the avatar can still survive. It's easy if you all want to kill me, however do you all know which inheritance I obtained? If I had obtained the inheritance of the Myriad Devil Sovereign himself, what would happen if I circulate that all around the immortal realms? Will the Devil Mountain still be the Devil Mountain then?"
Qin Wentian roared, already mentally making the preparations to die. As the sound of his words rang out, the hearts of those powerful experts from the Devil Mountain all shuddered.
"Are you threatening the Devil Mountain? Wanting to spread our inheritance outside?" A cold voice replied.
"What a joke. The devil halls on the peak of the mountain were prepared to betray the will of the devil sovereign again and again. What face do you have to say that the inheritance of the Myriad Devil Sovereign belongs to you all? The reality should be whoever manages to obtain the sovereign's inheritance, shall be the successor of the sovereign's will."
"Let me ask you, are you willing to cultivate on the Devil Mountain?" Another voice rang out. However this time around, the tone of the voice seemed to be compromising.
"No." Qin Wentian directly replied.
"Since you are not willing to stay on the Devil Mountain to cultivate, you have to explain how and which inheritance did you obtain exactly." Another voice rang out.
"You want to plunder it away? I acquired the inheritance of the Myriad Devil Sovereign, but do I have a need to report this to you? Are the devil halls on the peak of the mountain already climbing up the head of the Myriad Devil Sovereign?" Qin Wentian laughed.
"What do you want then?" They didn't expect a junior to be so tough to deal with. Audacious, challenging the prestige of the supreme devil halls in public, simply lawless to the extreme.
"I can't even see you guys personally. It's I who should ask what do you all want to do with me?" Qin Wentian quietly stood there. No matter what happens, he will remain standing there unmoving in his stance. If he compromises too easily, even leaving the Devil Mountain might be a problem.
The tension in the air was real. This Qin Wentian was arrogant, insolent, neither falling for soft nor hard tactics.
These devil experts all coldly stared at Qin Wentian. This was the first time someone dared to challenge and provoke the prestige of the supreme devil halls so blatantly. In addition, this person was merely a junior.
Qin Wentian didn't care about what they thought. Since no one was saying anything, let there be silence then.
Devil might fluctuated intensely and after that, several figures appeared in the air. They all floated there, akin to unsurpassable hegemons, and every step they took caused an unexcelled might to exude forth, as they walked closer and closer to Qin Wentian.
As these devil experts came to the area Qin Wentian was in, every devil cultivator here all bowed. Clearly, the identities of these people were extraordinary!
