Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
"Strong!" The eyes of the Vast Sky Devil Emperor flashed when he saw this scene. Qin Wentian's comprehension of law energy wasn't as sturdy as his comprehension of his innate techniques. In reality, Yulong Shengtu's comprehension of law was slightly deeper. However, when one's attack reached a certain limit in terms of strength, it was able to sweep aside everything else.
This supremely strong attack of Qin Wentian was like an apocalyptic light that sought to destroy everything.
With Yulong Shengtu at the center, countless dragon silhouettes manifested, their roars filling the area, yet he had no way to block Qin Wentian's attack. Under the power from that technique, his dragons of darkness were destroyed one after another, absorbed into that terrifying vortex. Yulong Shengtu grimaced, a dragon ring on his finger shot out an intense burst of light as a supreme golden dragon appeared, enveloping protectively around his body.
The vortex continued spiralling wildly, seeking to destroy everything but it was actually blocked by the golden layer of light provided by the golden dragon. It clashed unceasingly into the golden layer, unable to break it apart.
Yulong Shengtu actually used a defensive-type devil king weapon. Such a weapon was easily controlled and utilized, it was definitely an absolute treasure.
When the storm abated, Qin Wentian stood in the air calmly staring at the silhouette of Yulong Shengtu surrounded by that golden light.
Countless people inclined their heads and stared in their direction as waves of shock rose in their hearts.
They have already felt that they overestimated Qin Wentian but never would they have expected that he was truly stronger than Yulong Shengtu. Right now, victory and defeat has already been decided. Without a doubt, Qin Wentian was the winner.
What made the Fallen Devil Emperor and his subordinates shiver was that this time around, Qin Wentian has yet to activate that uncontrollable bloodline power and secret art. This meant that if both of them were to fight without divine weapons, Yulong Shengtu would die for sure.
A character strong enough to suppress Yulong Shengtu, what sort of character was he exactly?
However, Qin Wentian had no look of satisfaction on his face. Right now he was at the ninth-level, defeating Yulong Shengtu wasn't a matter he felt it was worthy to be proud of, even if his opponent came from the Devil Mountain.
Given Yulong Shengtu's identity and status on the Devil Mountain, he should be equal to the most common of peak-level geniuses of the immortal realms. And for him and Huang Shatian, they were both already standing at the very pinnacle, hence he didn't feel strange for either being able to defeat Yulong Shengtu. Also, the young man with the ordinary features seemed even stronger than Yulong Shengtu, who knew what sort of place the Devil Mountain was? Most probably, for characters of Yulong Shengtu's level, there shouldn't be many of them.
In the immortal realms, a character on the same level as him and Huang Shatian was definitely extremely rare as well.
Hence, Yulong Shengtu's strength was basically inferior to Huang Shatian's. Qin Wentian didn't feel that it was strange. The Huang Shatian now was the Huang Shatian who obtained the strongest inheritance of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.
The layer of light around Yulong Shengtu faded away as an incredibly ugly look could be seen on his face.
Defeat. As the Imperial Dragon Saint, he was actually defeated after being challenged by an immortal cultivator, in the eyes of so many people as well as his own army.
'"Yulong Shengtu?" Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice, however his voice travelled into the ears of the Imperial Dragon Devil Army, sounding extremely mocking.
They came here in such an imposing manner, and Yulong Shengtu didn't even place the devil emperors in his eyes. However in this battle, their arrogance was completely grinded away. Yulong Shengtu of the Devil Mountain was actually defeated by an immortal cultivator at the same level, an immortal cultivator who came here to temper himself.
Silence was everywhere, only Qin Wentian's mocking laughter continued echoing out.
"Who are you exactly in the immortal realms?" Yulong Shengtu stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian's attack earlier was overwhelmingly powerful. Qin Wentian should have been using an ultimate art. Since that was the case, Qin Wentian's identity would definitely be an extraordinary one.
"Since you have already lost, why is there still a need to ask so many questions? According to our prior agreement, shouldn't you bring your army and leave here immediately?" Qin Wentian calmly spoke.
Yulong Shengtu turned about and walked towards his army. His expression was ice-cold, his eyes flickering with an intense killing intent.
"I did promise you that if I lost, I would leave this place and no longer interfere in the matters of the Fallen Devil Island. I will naturally accomplish what I promised." Yulong Shengtu spoke. Qin Wentian furrowed his brows, Yulong Shengtu's tone seemed somewhat strange, like he was unwilling to accept the ending.
"However, my Imperial Dragon Army didn't promise you anything." Yulong Shengtu coldly added, his words causing Qin Wentian's expression to turn extremely chilly.
The face of the Vast Sky Devil Emperor fell as well. He then spoke, "Using the status of the Imperial Dragon Saint to make that promise, yet you are here playing word games. Are you not sullying the prestige of your Imperial Dragon Devil Hall?"
"IMPUDENT!" Yulong Shengtu coldly berated. "I will naturally accomplish what I've promised. However, my army will still kill him. Even if people gossip about me, I don't give a damn. When a peak-level genius of the immortal realms comes to our Myriad Devil Islands, how can we allow him to leave here alive?"
"Peak-level genius of the immortal realms?" The eyes of everyone flashed. They should know that for those who can defeat Yulong Shengtu, there was no doubt that they would definitely be geniuses who stood at the pinnacle of the entire immortal realms.
"As expected, you are truly despicable. You want to use my death to cover the shame of your defeat. Could it be that you really think it would be able to mask your humiliation?" Qin Wentian shook his head. Things like promises were nothing to people with no honor.
When devil cultivators act, they did so according to their desires. Promises to them were nothing at all.
Even for disciples of the Devil Mountain, they were the same as well.
"I will remember the shame of this defeat. However I will never allow an immortal cultivator to cause storms of conflict on our Myriad Devil Islands." Yulong Shengtu's voice was filled with determination, his killing intent unabated. Just like what Qin Wentian had expected, when devil cultivators did things, they weren't bound by any restrictions at all, doing whatever they wanted. So what if Yulong Shengtu was the one who lost? He still wanted Qin Wentian to die.
"You seem to have completely ignored my words." At this moment, the young man in white, with the ordinary features suddenly spoke. Yulong Shengtu's eyes flashed, turning to the white-robed young man as he spoke, "Immortal cultivators coming to our Myriad Devil Islands to make trouble. In addition, he is one of those genius at the very pinnacle. Don't you feel we should eliminate him?"
"The Imperial Dragon Devil Hall roams the devil world, taking on a supervisory role, exuding imposingness causing everyone that sees you to grovel. In your eyes, those who disagree with you should be put to death, only those who comply can survive. The degree of forbearance can no longer been seen from any of you." The white-robed young man quietly spoke. Yulong Shengtu's eyes flashed. He didn't understand what degree of forbearance this person was speaking about. They were from the legendary Devil Mountain, why would they need to tolerate others?
Eliminating all threats, killing everyone who disrespected the Devil Mountain. This was their role, a sacred mission given to their Devil Hall. Why would they ever need to tolerate people?
In their eyes, people can only be categorized into two types. To be killed, or not to be killed.
"Scram back to the Devil Mountain and cultivate more." The young man calmly spoke, his words causing the hearts of everyone to tremble. Scram back to the Devil Mountain?
"Aren't you interfering too much?" Yulong Shengtu stared at him unhappily.
The young man slowly turned his gaze about. After which, he took a single step forward, moving towards Yulong Shengtu.
"Careful!" The Imperial Dragon Saint Army instantly moved. Yulong Shengtu also hurriedly activated a defensive treasure, causing his body to be enveloped by a screen of protective light.
However, the young man in white directly walked towards the screen of light and stepped into it. His body seemed to transform into a formless substance as he entered the light screen bit by bit, appearing before Yulong Shengtu.
"Are you scramming away or not?" The white-robed young man smiled at Yulong Shengtu. Yulong Shengtu had gone completely pale. He stared at the silhouette before him which was like the devil himself. This bastard, after breaking through to the devil king realm, he was actually so powerful to this extent?
"What character is he in the immortal realms?" Yulong Shengtu continued to ask in a domineering manner.
"You are from the Imperial Dragon Devil Hall. We are both from different halls yet you lack even basic respect for me. Tell me, should I kill you or not?" The young man continued speaking in a low voice, his words causing Yulong Shengtu to turn white. The experts in the army who stood in the surroundings all stared dumbfoundedly at the young man in white. This terrifying fellow, if Yulong Shengtu really defied his orders, he most probably would truly dare to kill him.
Simply because, he, was he.
Yulong Shengtu had an ugly look on his face. He stared at the young man before him and finally nodded after a long moment, "I will bring my men and leave immediately."
The young man stood there unmoving. Yulong Shengtu turned, waved his hands at the army and spoke, "We will all leave now."
The Imperial Dragon Army then soared into the air, onto the back of the dragon as they flew towards the horizons. The entire army was actually leaving because of a single person.
"Who is that fellow exactly?" The eyes of everyone turned to the young man in white. This young man most probably had an even higher status on the Devil Mountain when compared to the Imperial Dragon Saint. If not, Yulong Shengtu wouldn't have been so afraid of him.
Yulong Shengtu was already so insufferably arrogant before devil emperors, yet he was so meek before this young man.
"Sir, who might you be?" The Fallen Devil Emperor asked. He was very curious regarding the identity of this man.
"It's not important who I am." The young man laughed. He turned his gaze to Qin Wentian and spoke, "The reason why you are in such a hurry to find some people is because you and Huang Shatian are both participating in an adjudication battle of the immortal realms, right?"
Qin Wentian turned to the young man. This person actually knew so much about these matters, he even knew about the adjudication battle.
"I know of a solution that can enable you to easily find those you wish to find. You can find everyone of them." The young man smiled. Qin Wentian glanced at him and asked, "What is the solution?"
"Go to the Devil Mountain."
The young man laughed, causing Qin Wentian's gaze to stiffen.
Devil Mountain!
The solution spoken of by the young man was actually the Devil Mountain.
"I'm a cultivator of the immortal realms. You are someone from the Devil Mountain, why are you doing this?" Qin Wentian asked.
"If you don't ascend the Devil Mountain, there will naturally be others who would do so." The young man laughed. He then turned about, departing the area like a gust of wind!
