"What's going on?" The people outside were all shocked. Even some devil kings could see some clues, how could an existence like Huang Shatian not be able to?
Also, what kind of ability was that of Qin Wentian?
"Interesting." The devil emperor laughed. "We can see it clearly from the outside but those two fellows are fighting in close-combat. That dark space is Qin Wentian's law domain, we can't sense it but Huang Shatian is trapped within."
"In that case, that dark space isn't the power of devilization?" A devil king frowned.
"The devilization is merely a method to fool Huang Shatian. If I didn't guess wrongly, there should be dreamforce hidden within. He is creating dreams for Huang Shatian and it's very possible that Huang Shatian doesn't know about this ability of his. If not, given his powerful will, he would still be able to break free." The Fallen Devil Emperor laughed.
The Old Xia Devil King who was at the side frowned. This old friend of his seemed to admire Qin Wentian a lot.
"In the end, it's still a heretical path." The Old Xia Devil King calmly spoke.
"This attack of his isn't weak at all." The devil emperor stared at the battlefield. The terrifying darkness was similar to what happened back then in the Sacred Academy, engulfing Huang Shatian within. The people outside couldn't hear it but Qin Wentian could hear intense rumbling sounds coming from within. The nine human emperors transformed into nine beams of light and shot into the vortex as resplendent golden ancient emperor wills gushed forth.
Qin Wentian's countenance sank. After which, he stepped out, stepping into the vortex as well. In that instant, a heaven-shaking rumbling sound rang out as a black hurricane manifested, shaking the heavens and earth. It was as though a terrifying devil dragon of darkness had appeared in the sky, only to be torn apart and destroyed in an instant.
At this moment, a heaven-splitting light flashed. Cracks appeared on the world-destroying vortex of darkness. As the blazing light grew brighter and brighter, the world-destroying darkness was completely torn apart. With a thunderous rumble, everything shattered.
A figure was forced backwards, it was none other than the devil-transformed Qin Wentian. His entire body was still enveloped by a terrifying destructive might, but drops of blood dripped from his body. In the darkness, the color of his blood was exceptionally bright.
Huang Shatian stood there, his aura fluctuating. The human emperor light around him dimmed, no longer as resplendent as before. Only his eyes were as sharp as ever, sharper than swords, staring fixedly at Qin Wentian's silhouette.
The atmosphere seemed to have solidified. The two of them no longer made any moves. The devilized Qin Wentian exhaled a thick and heavy breath. His eyes were like that of a demon, completely different from the Qin Wentian who was avoiding battle earlier. For the sake of victory, he was willing to do anything.
Qin Wentian was confident. He believed that after his strength increased and stepped into the immortal king realm, if he encountered Huang Shatian again, he would definitely be able to defeat his opponent if he went all out. However, he clearly underestimated Huang Shatian's transformation. Compared to back then when he was in the Sacred Academy, Huang Shatian was much stronger.
Huang Shatian was similarly confident and arrogant. He said before that if he didn't have the confidence to kill Qin Wentian, he wouldn't act. Clearly, as a supreme genius of the immortal realms, he had undergone a transformation and had absolute confidence in himself. However, he had also underestimated his opponent.
"Cough cough …"
A cough broke the silence. Huang Shatian coughed as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He suddenly laughed as he shook his head lightly. Although he was injured, he still stood straight and upright.
"Ultimately, I still wasn't able to kill you. Seems like the battle between us will continue. I wonder if the Myriad Devil Islands will be your burial ground or mine." Huang Shatian's words were as cold as the edge of a blade. He respected such an opponent but his killing intent wouldn't change. If he wanted to advance further, he had to surpass this opponent.
Qin Wentian's aura fluctuated as the devil might radiating from him gradually faded away. His handsome and devilish countenance was now pale. He didn't say anything, he was also extremely weak right now.
After the battle in the Sacred Academy, in the Myriad Devil Islands, he still had no way to defeat Huang Shatian. A character at the peak of immortal-foundation in the immortal realms, after obtaining the inheritance of the Nine Emperors Immortal State, how could he be ordinary?
"Has it ended?" The spectators in the outside world silently mused as they watched this battle. Ultimately, neither of them could defeat their opponent.
Both of them were already sufficiently strong and proud enough.
Yan Yuruo and Xin Yu finally set their hearts at ease. When they saw how terrifying Huang Shatian was, they were indeed worried that Qin Wentian would be killed in this battle. Luckily, Qin Wentian was also powerful to the extreme. They had never seen such a powerful devil-foundation character before. From their impression, this should be the strength of devil kings.
The devil cultivators were also deeply shocked by the battle between the two of them. They only felt an intense baptism to their souls. So it turned out that the talent they were so proud of was actually so weak. In front of the two of them, they were so insignificant. If these two were their enemies, only death awaited them.
There were only about a hundred people left in the Burial Canyon. The number of people still fighting was even lesser. The devil emperor glanced at the battlefield and drank two cups of wine. He then smiled, "Since there's no more fighting, let's end it here."
"Right." A devil king subordinate of the devil emperor spoke, "Let's open the battlefield."
An instant later, an incomparably terrifying light radiated from the battlefield. The people inside all inclined their heads. They knew, they knew that the battle had ended.
The devil emperor already had a candidate in his heart.
For this devil horde battle, it wasn't necessary to determine the victor. In truth, it was only for the sake of displaying their strength during the devil emperor's birthday celebration. Such an opportunity might be hard to come by, but to the devil emperor, it didn't matter.
When the light screen opened, the spatial formation dissipated. They discovered that they were now standing in the air above the battlefield, their auras were all retracted. After that, they inclined their heads and stared in the direction of the devil emperor. Many experts all bowed to him as a sign of respect.
"Not bad." The Fallen Devil Emperor smiled and nodded. "Being able to see the glory of the juniors during the birthday celebration is truly a delightful thing."
"In addition, I'm sure many of the major powers on my Fallen Devil Island will have more talented juniors joining them."
"Your Majesty is praising these little fellows too much." The devil kings laughed.
"They are truly not bad. In addition, under such a difficult battle, it's even rarer to be able to control themselves and not rely on divine weapons to fight." The devil emperor laughed. The gazes of many turned to Huang Shatian and Qin Wentian. Both of them had powerful divine weapons but in that soul-stirring battle, they all consciously controlled themselves and didn't use the power of their divine weapons to launch sneak attacks. This was a true martial spirit.
Similarly, this was also a form of respect to their opponents.
"Everyone, who do you think the top ten belong to?" The devil emperor smiled as he asked the crowd. His words caused the expressions of the crowd to turn heavy as they stared at those experts who were still standing on the battle platforms.
"As for those two who are fighting, Huang Shatian and Qin Wentian, they should naturally occupy two spots." A devil king laughed.
"Also, Old Chai and his opponent, I wonder what their names are. They should occupy two spots as well." Another devil king spoke. On the platform, Duan Qianshan spoke, "Junior Duan Qianshan."
"Okay, in that case, let's settle these four first." The devil emperor nodded. The four of them had already been confirmed.
"Xia Yuan should have a spot." A devil king spoke. The expression of the Old Xia Devil King was very calm. He didn't recommend Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan was a peak ranker on the Devil Rankings, his brilliance wasn't that dazzling in this battle.
"Xia Yuan should have a spot." The devil emperor nodded.
"As for the other three beside Qin Wentian, they are all fine." The Blackstone Devil King spoke, his words causing the expressions of everyone to turn solemn. Three at the same time?
In that case, Qin Wentian, Duan Qianshan, Qi Da, Nanfeng Ruoxuan and Mo Ziyan, that would already be a total of five.
"Their previous opponents, the White Tiger and a swordsman, can each take a spot." Someone spoke. These two were none other than the White Tiger people and an expert from the Supreme Sword School. These people were all peak-level immortal-foundation characters chosen by the immortal realms to participate in the adjudication battle. Naturally, they would be extremely outstanding on this battlefield.
Many people had expressions of interest on their faces. Among these ten, there were actually quite a few who were immortal cultivators.
"Fine, let's settle on these ten then." The devil emperor nodded his head, causing the other experts to have looks of disappointment on their faces.
"As for the others, they are all outstanding juniors and I believe they will have their own good fortune. There's no need to be too concerned about them." The devil emperor smiled. They bowed and retreated from the battlefield.
There were only ten people left on the floating battle platform, attracting everyone's attention.
The third princess Yan Yuruo stared at Qin Wentian's silhouette as she felt extremely excited. A faint smile could be seen on her face. This fellow was going to be in the limelight this time around.
Her elder sister Yan Yuxin had a look of disappointment on her face, she didn't know what to feel in her heart.
The Blackstone Devil King and Xin Yu were also feeling happy for Qin Wentian.
Not only would Qin Wentian be in the limelight, he should be able to become one of the three chosen by the devil emperor. In fact, he would even be able to make a request to the devil emperor. During the birthday banquet, as long as the request wasn't too overboard, the devil emperor would usually agree to it.
"Next, who do you guys think should be rewarded?" The devil emperor smiled as he asked the people in the surroundings.
"The people around Qin Wentian, that white tiger and the sword cultivator should be rewarded." A devil king laughed.
"Mo Ji, what do you think?" The devil emperor smiled at Mo Ji who was beside him.
"Whoever you think should be rewarded will naturally be rewarded." Mo Ji smiled, she didn't express her opinion.
"Old Xia, what do you think?" The devil emperor smiled at the Old Xia Devil King.
"The people around Qin Wentian have all displayed powerful combat prowess and should be rewarded. Also for Qin Wentian, although he borrowed the power of some secret arts during his battle against Huang Shatian, his combat prowess is extraordinary. He should be the one most deserving of the reward." The Old Xia Devil King spoke, his words causing the gazes of many experts to freeze.
Qin Wentian, the one most deserving of the reward?
Although his words seemed to be praising Qin Wentian, who wouldn't understand the meaning behind it?!
