A devil king beside the devil emperor stood up. He glanced at the surrounding experts and spoke, "The Myriad Devil Islands is a strength-oriented place, our Fallen Devil Region is naturally of no exception. Everyone here came from all directions of the region to pay your respects to the emperor and right now, his Majesty will also give you a chance to display your strength."
The expressions of everyone instantly turned solemn. They understood that this was truly an opportunity.
For devil cultivators, fighting and contending for opportunities, the process was much more brutal compared to immortal cultivators. For those who climbed up from the bottom, they had to experience calamity after calamity before they could reach the peak, gaining an opportunity to meet with the devil emperor once every hundred years. Also, they still needed to gain entry before they could have a chance to display their prowess.
Even if they weren't regarded heavily by the devil emperor, as long as their performance was dazzling enough, they might be favored by many of the powerful sects here and be recruited into these major powers.
Such an opportunity truly only came once every hundred years.
The devil king beside the devil emperor pointed to the battlefield in the air, "This is a battle formation formed by laws of surrealism. It's incomparably vast and spectators outside would be able to clearly see the battles that occured within. As for the participants, when you enter, your devil sense would be restricted, you can only see things with your eyes so do your best to fight, gaining victory and last all the way till the end. Only then would his Majesty and the other devil kings pay attention to your existence. The further you can walk, the more dazzling you would be."
"As to why your devil sense is restricted, it's because many of you are acquainted with each other. This is to help maintain some fairness by avoiding you guys joining together and ganging up on some others. However, fairness is relative. You all have to understand that if you want to survive on the Myriad Devil Islands, and want to grow stronger, nobody would give you a fair environment to do so. You have to struggle amidst bloody battles. Hence, feel free to use all methods here to survive."
That devil king spoke in a thunderous voice, "However, the devil emperor and the devil kings here would all be able to tell if you depend on your strength or external aid. If you all know there's no way for you to avoid dying, just fly upwards to the dome of the sky and you will be transported out. However, it's likely you won't have time to do so in the midst of combat. If you die in there, you can only blame yourself for being incompetent. The choice to enter or not, is yours."
"Ultimately, his Majesty would select the top ten most outstanding geniuses. The latter seven will get treasures while the top three can request something from the devil emperor. This, is the bestowal of kindness from his Majesty, work hard for it. You guys can enter after you think it through." The devil king waved his sleeves, as multiple doors opened up on the floating battle platform.
The devil emperor and the devil kings smiled, staring at the figures flying towards the battle platform.
"We will all be transported to different areas." Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. He stared at the figures flying past him, and discovered that even if people used the same entrance, they would all be separated as well. Everything could clearly be seen from the outside.
Qin Wentian understood that doing so could indeed ensure a modicum of fairness. If not, for disciples of the major powers, they would definitely choose to group together.
"Still not moving out?" Huang Shatian quietly spoke.
Qin Wentian smiled as he stood up.
"Sir Qin." Xin Yu, who was at the side, called out. Qin Wentian glanced at her only to hear her speaking softly, "Xin Yu will wait outside to wait for Sir Qin's return."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian smiled and nodded to her. After which, he stepped out and soared into the air. Qi Da and the others advanced forth was well, all of them forming streams in the air as the experts here all flew towards the battle platform.
"Xin Yu, just you wait." At this moment, Ba Xiao flew over as he icily spoke. After that, his silhouette flashed as he headed in as well.
The battle platform in the air was like a terrifying whirlpool that absorbed the geniuses in unceasingly.
Azureflame Tuo entered as well. Yan Yuxin was somewhat nervous, although everyone seemed immensely confident earlier, when they truly saw the number of peak geniuses here, how could they not be worried? When she came here, she initially wanted to broaden the horizons of her little sister Yan Yuruo. However, it was she herself whose horizons has been broadened. She knew that in here, the husband she admired, was nothing at all. There were simply too many people more outstanding than him.
"Hmph, that rascal." The devilish female Yan Yuruo's silhouette flashed as she actually also headed towards the platform. She always wanted to go to where Qin Wentian was, it wass only that she wasn't qualified to do so. In that case, she could only look for him in the battlefield.
"Yuruo, what are you doing?" Yan Yuxin berated when she saw this.
"You don't need to care about my matters." Yan Yuruo replied.
Yan Yuxin's silhouette flashed as she flew with great speed, blocking in front of Yan Yuruo. "Are you courting death by entering there? This place isn't the Blackstone Devil Island, powerful devil cultivators are in there. They won't show any mercy. You would die before even you found your little lover."
The beautiful eyes of Yan Yuruo stared into the horizon. She also knew that her elder sister's words weren't without logic. It was just that she felt unwillingness in her heart.
"Look below, there are so many geniuses who dare not enter." Yan Yuxin pulled her back. "Follow me back."
This time, Yan Yuruo didn't resist, allowing herself to be pulled back by her elder sister. Although the two of them were at loggerheads, they were still sisters after all. Yan Yuxin didn't want her younger sister to court death so blatantly and foolishly.
"Is there anyone who still wishes to participate? If not, the battle platform will be closed." A devil king in the air spoke. Some of those who were still hesitating instantly rushed forth, entering the platform.
Although the battlefield here was extremely vast, from the outside, it truly did seem very packed, as countless devil cultivators congregated here. Truly like a group of devils dancing wildly in riotous revelry.
It wasn't so easy if one wanted to display their prowess here. There was a high possibility of death.
"Mo Ji, who do you favor?" The devil emperor smiled at Mo Ji who was leaning against him.
"Those people in the elite sector are undoubtedly the most outstanding of all. The top ten of this event would be them for sure." Mo Ji smiled.
"Old Xia, next I'm going to look at the young man you recommended and see what his level of strength is at exactly." The devil emperor laughed.
"Right, you will definitely be very surprised." Old Xia Devil King's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
"Alright, I'll wait and see then." The devil emperor smiled. His gaze then turned towards the battlefield and locked onto Huang Shatian.
After Huang Shatian entered, fearsome fluctuations of law energy instantly gushed forth from him, radiating the devilish light of darkness.
Clearly, Huang Shatian also cultivated a method similar to the Immortal Devil Transformation Art, and converted his immortal energy to devil energy.
Behind Huang Shatian, a fearsome screen of darkness appeared, with numerous devil weapons within. There was the incomparably sharp devil sword of darkness, the extremely tyrannical spear of darkness, etc. The light screen behind him was like a separate dimension with countless numbers of fearsome weapons in it.
"Not bad, such spatial law energy usage is truly perfection. He should have almost reached the gate leading to the next realm. Next, I want to see his strength level." The devil emperor's eyes flashed. The devil kings beside him all nodded as they also paid attention to Huang Shatian.
Huang Shatian moved, appearing at a location filled with yellow sand. He then directly flew through the air as a figure soon appeared before him, blocking him. Although immortal sense was restricted here, there was simply too many people in here. If one wandered about in here, it was very easy to encounter others.
When that person saw Huang Shatian, he could feel a sense of imminent crisis from Huang Shatian. It was clear that Huang Shatian was extremely dangerous.
"RUMBLE!" An intense light erupted from the screen of light behind his back, engulfing everything. After which, that person only saw a beam of blinding light shooting over, and his countenance couldn't help but to drastically change as his own aura erupted forth. However, everything was too late.
The devil sword and saber in the screen of light slashed and chopped through all resistance, tyrannical to the extreme. In just an instant, a loud boom rang out as the body of the expert directly vanished within the light, killed with absurd ease.
That person didn't even have the chance to resist. He didn't even have the time to take out his devil weapon.
"How strong." The eyes of the devil kings flashed. As expected of the person Old Xia praised. His single strike was truly tyrannical and terrifying.
"What do you think about giving him the number one rank?" Old Xia Devil King smiled.
"Let's observe a little more. It's still insufficient to determine. Look at Xia Yuan and Old Chai, both of them aren't weak at all." The devil emperor laughed.
But although he said it this way, since his old friend has spoken, he would still give face to him. As long as Huang Shatian was strong enough, giving him the first place would merely take a single sentence from him.
Among the devil kings, the Blackstone Devil King frowned. This Huang Shatian was truly very powerful, and he also has the recommendation of the Old Xia Devil King. It seemed that this man had a grudge with Qin Wentian and if this was the case, things were really unfavourable for Qin Wentian.
He glanced in the direction Qin Wentian was in. Right now, Qin Wentian was in a forest and he also met his first opponent.
"The seventh-level?" That person had a mocking look in his eyes after he sensed Qin Wentian's cultivation level. "Do you think this place is a playground? Even if your talent is strong enough for you to sit in the elite sector, this place, talent doesn't matter, only strength counts."
Qin Wentian furrowed his brows when he heard his opponent's words. It's true that his cultivation base was among the weakest here. If everyone sensed his aura, they would definitely come to hunt him down one by one. If this was the case, things would truly be extremely troublesome!
