Qin Wentian could clearly see the other experts on this path. Many different spaces have opened up for each of the experts who attempted this and they were transported into battlefields that existed in different dimensions, no aftershocks would affect the others. He was precisely in one of the battlefields.
Each of the battlefields had a demon spirit in it that matched the cultivation base of the challenger. In fact, even some of the immortal and demon emperors had heavy expressions on their faces. Even they weren’t confident of being able to pass this trial.
If they wanted to ascend upwards, their cultivation bases couldn’t determine anything.
Before Qin Wentian, a gigantic roc appeared, staring at him with lofty eyes. The demon spirit was also at the peak-phase of the initial-stage of the demon king realm and had a fearsome aura.
“Bzzz~” The enemy roc instantly rushed over, his speed was like a bolt of lightning as he swiped out with sharp talons. In an instant, space itself seemed to be ripped apart. The power of the attack was incomparably strong.
The energy of heaven and earth couldn’t be used in this battlefield, the combatant couldn’t draw on astral energy as well. They could only depend on the current energy within them as well as the strength of their bodies. Undoubtedly, the advantages of the demons were greater while the conditions were clearly more unfavourable for humans.
Qin Wentian was in the form of a roc and maybe it was because of this, the opponent which appeared before him was a great roc as well.
His body radiated a terrifying law energy. Qin Wentian soared up the sky, choosing to clash head-on with his opponent, slashing out with his talons as well.
“BOOM!” Two powerful forces collided together as the enemy roc was forced back. Qin Wentian continued rushing forth like a streak of lightning. His talons were imbued with sword qi as he swiped it towards the demon roc spirit.
A same-level opponent just wasn’t a match for Qin Wentian.
The battlefield vanished and Qin Wentian was able to continue forward. He could see the battles of the other experts. For demons, they would face an opponent of the same race as them. As for the human experts, they would face against powerful royal-faction demons.
On the two sides of the ancient path, the demonic qi was terrifying with many powerful demon puppets waiting there, protecting this place. More and more experts obtained victory and came out of the battlefield. There were some who glanced at the huge roc which was Qin Wentian, but they weren’t bothered by his existence. An ordinary initial-stage demon king being able to survive up till now could already be considered a miracle. Seems like this roc must have evolved in this place earlier.
“Bzz~” A burst of spatial energy bore down. Qin Wentian didn’t advance too much and was teleported to another battle space once again. This time around, a roc king covered in boundless lightning appeared before him. Its dark body crackled with purple lightning, terrifying to the extreme. This was one of the variant-races of the great rocs, a demon spirit of the Thunder Roc Race.
“RUMBLE!” He unleashed his powerful devil law energy. Qin Wentian was like a devil roc. A loftiness could be seen in his eyes as he rushed his opponent.
“It’s actually a rarely seen devil roc. No wonder he can survive up till now.” An expert from the Phoeroc race glanced at Qin Wentian. They then saw Qin Wentian fighting against the Thunder Roc. The powerful and tyrannical thunder attacks clashed against the equally fearsome devil attacks, and their battle space trembled violently from the impacts. However, at the very end, the Thunder Roc was vanquished, crushed by Qin Wentian. U.p..dated by novelfull.Com
Demonic beasts were usually born with great strength. They were also able to absorb astral energy innately to temper their bones and inner organs. As long as their comprehension levels reached the level, they could directly call upon the power of the constellation without needing to condense an astral soul from it. This indicated that for those greater demons with terrifying talent, they had a fearsome inborn advantage. An example was the Thunder Roc. That roc was able to use thunder-attribute laws and absorbed it right from its birth. How could it not be tyrannical?
Hence, for those demons with high talents, the greater their advantage would be. In addition to their fearsome bodies, the power of their attacks was naturally stronger when compared to humans.
However, Qin Wentian was actually able to crush the thunder roc head-on in a clash of strength. This was because the strength of his fleshly body was already sufficiently terrifying. Ever since he condensed his first astral soul from the 5th Heavenly layer, he had been absorbing astral energy from the higher-layered heavens to temper his body. In addition, the strength of his attacks was also boosted due to the superior quality of astral energy.
That, in addition to Qin Wentian’s other techniques like God’s Hand which could explosively increase his strength, as well as undergoing the baptism by the Sacred Luminance, all these factors made it so that the toughness of Qin Wentian’s body didn’t lose out and might even surpass the bodies of greater demons.
Qin Wentian continued on the path, slaying many demon spirits. The further he proceeded, the stronger the enemies became. One’s cultivation base was useless here as every trial taker was treated fairly. For example, even if the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was here, could he gain any advantage when facing an emperor-ranked greater demon?
Also, the advantages demons held over humans were gradually growing clearer and clearer. The number of humans was steadily decreasing as the trial continued.
“This great roc is actually still alive?” A puzzled voice rang out. Those who could survive until now were undoubtedly experts who have fought with many powerful demon spirits and the great roc, which Qin Wentian transformed to, only had a cultivation base merely at the initial-stage of the demon king realm.
“This roc must be extraordinary.” That expert from the Sacred Sun Sect also stepped out. He could feel how overwhelming the pressure was now at this stage. Qin Wentian truly made him feel extremely surprised.
The expert from the Phoeroc race also glanced at Qin Wentian as a strange light flashed in its lofty eyes. However, at this moment, he didn’t really care about Qin Wentian. The end of the ancient path was within sights. Right now, the demon spirits fighting them already possessed the power of the royal factions. It was the final checkpoint and the strength of their opponents would definitely be extremely terrifying.
Before Qin Wentian, a golden-winged roc appeared. He was once again teleported to a separate battle space. This golden-winged great roc gleamed with a resplendent light, the look in its eyes was sharp enough to tear the wills of people apart.
“Fighting against a royal member of the roc race?” Qin Wentian silently mused. Back in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, he once challenged the wills of the various greater demon statues. But now, a true supreme royal greater demon was before his eyes. It was no longer a battle of their wills.
The light of his law energy radiated from Qin Wentian, circulating around him. He didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless when facing against such a powerful opponent.
“Swish~” That golden-winged roc radiated a terrifying might and in just an instant, with a flap of its wings, a gust of astral wind enveloped Qin Wentian completely, infused with an incomparable sharpness. The blades of wind sought to rip Qin Wentian into pieces, ignoring the distance between them. This was none other than one of the secret techniques which golden-winged rocs would learn after they awakened their hereditary memories.
Activating God’s Hand, Qin Wentian’s body shimmered with a brilliant light as the power of his demonic bloodline was unleashed as well. Around him, numerous shadows in the form of rocs appeared, protecting him. But even so, the wind blades easily tore apart his defenses, and they were even imbued with spatial energy, directly slamming into Qin Wentian, causing his body to tremble violently. “As expected of the king among rocs.” Qin Wentian’s gaze was sharp. The countless wind blades were very tough to deal with, he could only resist them head-on. If he was just an ordinary roc, he would be ripped into pieces within seconds. How could an ordinary roc defend against the golden-winged great rocs – the royalty among rocs? Although this place had good fortune everywhere, it was assured that only those supreme greater demons with unparalleled talent and potential would be able to reach the peak of the Demongod Mountain.
“Art of Truth – Body Protection.” Qin Wentian’s body suddenly gleamed with buddhic light as more roc shadows enveloped him protectively. He shot straight up into the air, choosing to move through the windstorm, shattering the storm with pure strength. The eyes of the golden-winged roc gleamed with coldness. It vanished from its spot in an instant and after that, only the sound of an explosion could be heard as Qin Wentian’s body was flung through the air with great speed.
“Is that another secret technique?” Qin Wentian’s body trembled. The speed of the golden-winged roc was too fast, instantly moving through space, he simply had no way to react at all.
“BOOM!” Qin Wentian only saw the golden-winged roc appearing before him once again, slashing out with its talons, wanting to tear his head away. He shifted his position, managing to dodge the critical strike but his body was flung through the air once more from the impact.
“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!” A streak of golden lightning flashed about. Qin Wentian only felt the defenses of his tyrannical body breaking down layer by layer. The speed of the golden-winged roc was so fast that it seemed it could teleport through space. There was simply no way for him to evade. If it wasn’t for the fact that the astral souls he condensed were all from extremely high-layer constellations, he would already have perished underneath such overwhelming attacks.
The devil might from Qin Wentian churned wildly. With another boom, the golden-winged roc once again tore through space, its talons slicing down like a sword, wanting to tear Qin Wentian asunder.
Qin Wentian grabbed out with his own talons, while activating God’s Hand. A third-eye appeared in the center of his brows as well and the light from it pierced out towards the golden-winged roc, causing it to feel as though something was stabbing its soul. At the same time, a terrifying vortex of destruction blasted out into the golden-winged roc at such a close distance.
Qin Wentian’s other talon then shot out, grabbing hold of the golden-winged roc by its neck.
The golden-winged roc struggled violently and instantly shifted away, teleporting to another space. However, Qin Wentian had the golden-winged roc tightly in his grasp. He continued to intensify the pressure he applied while the golden-winged roc kept twisting and struggling, wanting to shake Qin Wentian off. However, there was no way Qin Wentian would give up such an opportunity. He was madly launching attacks whenever he could.
Qin Wentian’s defence was simply startling. The surrounding experts all stared in shock when they witnessed an ordinary roc dominating a king roc from the royal-faction among rocs. Were evolved demonic beasts so terrifying? What was this world coming to? An ordinary roc could actually suppress a king from its race?
Finally, a screech of misery rang out. Qin Wentian’s attacks grew increasingly violent, his strength now was even sufficient to slay initial-phase mid-stage immortal kings. Although this golden-winged roc was very powerful, it eventually could no longer hold on under the violent attacks from Qin Wentian and was slowly dying.
At this instant, all the experts here started to pay more attention to this seemingly ordinary roc. A mutated variant-type roc was actually capable of killing a roc from the royal-faction!
