Chapter 1308: An Ultimate Technique of the Devil Path
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
"RUMBLE!" Qin Wentian felt his consciousness returning. Opening his eyes, he felt an intense pain in his head.
He stared at the revealed pathway. This was simply unbelievable, he actually won. Before this, although he did his best, expending all his efforts wanting to conquer this devil hall, he himself actually knew that it was nothing but a far-fetched dream, there was almost no hope at all.
This Saint Devil Hall was the hall where the Myriad Devil Sovereign is said to reside. The master of the devil path, tyrannical to the extreme yet he actually managed to open up a pathway.
He didn't think too much about it. Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath and set his foot onto the path as he advanced along it.
The interior of this devil hall seemed extremely unique, completely different from the devil halls Qin Wentian entered earlier. There was basically nothing here at all, only engravings of a gigantic picture on the ground.
Qin Wentian walked over, he remembered that he obtained some memories from the throne earlier. He stood in the center of the picture, folding incantations gestures with both hands, forming mudra seals which imprint themselves on the ground. Bright light flowed in increasing resplendence and in that instant, the picture on the ground started to transform ceaselessly.
An ancient book of the devil-path appeared there, as a rustling sound rang out from the flipping of the pages. From within, boundless devil runes could be seen, transforming into beams of light as they shot up into the sky with such ferocity as though they intended to break this world.
The light reflected off the dome of the heavens, shrouding Qin Wentian and that ancient book with astral light. Countless characters manifested in his surroundings as a shocking will descended from the heavens. Right now in the sky, a supreme figure appeared, he sat upon the devil throne, like he was the devil lord of the stars, master of all devils.
Intense waves arose in Qin Wentian's heart. What terrifying devil might, what a strong devil will. It was as he had expected, this place was then the true Saint Devil Hall. Was the true inheritance of the Myriad Devil Sovereign here?
If this was the case, should he accept the inheritance or not?
Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath and closed his eyes. The light from the ancient book of the devil path enveloped him. Under the radiance of the devil sovereign, the countless devil runes drifted into his mind, being branded within.
The will from the phantom on the throne directly rushed into his mind. This will was terrifying to the extreme, Qin Wentian groaned in misery and almost fell down onto the ground as his will felt like it was on the verge of being shattered. Luckily this time around, the devil will didn't attack, it was merely transmitting information into his mind, and hence, Qin Wentian was able to endure it.
If not, Qin Wentian would surely collapse here, this will was simply too strong, much more stronger compared to any of the will attacks he encountered before.
Even though this will now had no attack power, it brought along with it an immensely powerful attribute energy which caused trepidation in Qin Wentian's heart. This should be the will energy of the Myriad Devil Sovereign who ruled the entire devil world. This will energy entered his mind alongside the runes from the devil book, accepting him as a successor.
Qin Wentian knew how great an opportunity this was. He naturally wouldn't choose to forsake it. No matter the pain, he had to endure for sure.
He also understood how lucky he was to manage to walk until this step. This was something which was originally impossible. But because of some special reasons, the impossible changed into the possible. There was no way Qin Wentian would miss this extremely rare opportunity.
Countless runes imprinted into his mind, the will of the devil sovereign entered his sea of consciousness and painted a painting within. Qin Wentian did his best to absorb all the energy the painting was emitting and forgot the passage of time.
In the outside world, another person entered this dimension. This man was the same as Qin Wentian, he fought all his way up to the mountain before he entered here.
From the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Huang Shatian, who obtained the inheritance of the founding emperor, was the one who also entered here.
Just the same as Qin Wentian, after attempting to enter the other devil halls, he eventually made the same decision as Qin Wentian and walked towards the Saint Devil Hall. After Qin Wentian entered, this Saint Devil Hall closed off again, returning to its earlier state. Huang Shatian had no idea what just happened, he also wished to enter this hall but after many attempts, he knew that it was basically impossible even if he had the power of the founding emperor's inheritance.
Helpless, Huang Shatian could only give up. In the end, he chose the devil hall with many divine weapons before it, undergoing the test to gain entry.
The sky changed color and the atmosphere transformed. Boundless divine weapons exuding incomparable sharpness were everywhere.
Huang Shatian assiduously attempted many times, coughing out blood from many failed attempts, unable to gain entry. However, his will was incredibly resolute and finally, he managed to break through all obstructions, gaining a path of entry into the devil hall.
After Huang Shatian, there was actually one more person who managed to enter here, the true sacred ground of the Devil Mountain. This person was also an immortal realm cultivator, he exuded an unfathomable air and was clad in white armor, looking extremely imposing.
Consecutively, there were three immortal realm cultivators who entered the Saint Devil Hall, yet no devil cultivators had succeeded. From the surface, it seems that the devil experts on the Devil Mountain were inferior to the immortal realm cultivators but reality wasn't so. The devil cultivators who could enter have already entered, those who couldn't were still trying to, but these immortal realm cultivators were attempting this for the first time and they were geniuses at the absolute peak of the immortal realms. It's only normal that some of them would succeed.
...
Right now the Devil Mountain was extremely lively because there were many young men with extremely outstanding talents who just ascended the mountain. Also, many of them were actually from the immortal realms, and they could be split into two factions.
The people of the Devil Mountain finally knew that these immortal realm cultivators were all invited here by that fellow from the Apostle Devil Hall. Many devil experts cursed silently in their hearts but the presence of these immortal realm cultivators did give the geniuses of the Devil Mountain a great deal of pressure. Because, all these immortal realm cultivators were powerful ones, especially so for some among them, who could even stand equally against peak devil geniuses of the other six halls.
Occasionally, there would be people bringing up the topic of those two immortal cultivators who came up the mountain back then. One was Qin Wentian, he caused a Child of Darkness to be eliminated from his position, and made the Judiciary Priestess be imprisoned for three years at the Blood Devil Cliff, creating a huge deal of commotion.
For the second one, he was much more direct. He fought his way to the peak of the mountain and after defeating the ex Child of Darkness, Wu, he directly entered the Saint Devil Hall. That his tyranny and coldness caused everyone to have a very deep impression of him.
Right now, many were speculating how far could those two fellows go?
Maybe, they had already died.
Today, it had already been about two years plus since Qin Wentian entered the Saint Devil Hall.
Right now on the mountain, many experts were in opposition with each other. If Qin Wentian was here, he would discover that these people were all participants of the adjudication battle. The two sides were that of the Skymist Alliance and the Evergreen Alliance. Qi Da and the others also arrived at the mountain, but their timing was much later compared to Qin Wentian.
The test of the Devil Mountain would undoubtedly stop many from advancing, but to the outstanding geniuses of the immortal realms, the test wouldn't be able to stop them. For a true genius, regardless of will, comprehension or strength, they all far surpassed ordinary geniuses.
The number of people on the side of the Skymist Alliance was more in comparison and some fights have already erupted between them. However, since killing was forbidden on the mountain, there were only injuries and no casualties.
"Hey hear what I have to say. Killing is forbidden on the Devil Mountain. There's no meaning to your fighting now, it wouldn't have any effect on the ajudiciation battle. Why don't we shake our hands and chat while enjoying some tea, finding good places to sit down in cultivation?" Bujie the monk stood by the side as he laughed.
However, everyone knew that Bujie's words were the truth. There was only a certain number of participants in the adjudication battle and it would only be effective if they could kill their opponents.
"The deadline of ten years would be here sooner or later. After we descend from the Devil Mountain, we would already know the result of the adjudication battle even without looking at it." A peak-level white tiger king coldly spoke. His entire body radiated baleful qi and his eyes were extremely demonic.
"Even if you all used underhanded methods and brought more people, as long as those hundred participants have a higher death rate, you all would still lose the adjudication battle." Nanfeng Ruoxuan icily replied, not showing weakness at all.
"Just wait and see then." An expert from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire directly spoke. He then waved his hand as his group left. Since they managed to come to the Devil Mountain, they had to make good use of this time to cultivate. There are plenty of good places for cultivation here, and they could even spar against devil experts from the supreme devil halls.
"You guys decided not to fight after all." A young man smiled. It was actually Jiang Ziyu, from the Jiang Clan of the Southern Regions. He inclined his head and stared in the direction of the peak, "He should have entered the interior of the Saint Devil Hall, following after Qin Wentian.
The other immortal realm cultivators all began to cultivate here on the Devil Mountain and in the blink of an eye, another half year had passed.
Today, a figure walked out from the Saint Devil Hall, instantly arousing the attention of many people. This person who appeared, was none other than Huang Shatian.
"What did you obtain in the sacred ground?" A devil expert asked. Huang Shatian merely coldly glanced at him, he didn't choose to reply.
There were several experts from the Skymist Alliance who saw Huang Shatian. Their eyes were filled with excitement because they knew that now, Huang Shatian should be even stronger than before.
"Bzz~" The devil expert who spoke to Huang Shatian earlier stepped out. He directly slashed downwards with a terrifying devil saber. Huang Shatian's eyes gleamed with sharpness, he pointed forth with his finger and in the next instant, the devil saber in the hands of his opponent could no longer be controlled freely.
"RELEASE!" The saber started trembling, and with a loud hum, it actually flew out of that expert's arms, flying towards Huang Shatian and landing at his feet.
"Ultimate technique of the devil path, what did you obtained exactly?" That eyes of that devil expert gleamed with a terrifying devil light. The devil experts here all stared at Huang Shatian. Could it be that this man was an existence equal to the founder of the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall?
