Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
"BOOM!" As that palm slammed down, the countless devilish runes entered Little Rascal, painting his golden body black. The energy from the runes seeped into him unceasingly, containing a fearsome corroding power. In fact, thunderous rumbling sounds also rang out, it was like a heavenly tribulation with the power to destroy the most solid of all defenses.
In that instant, Little Rascal's energy actually began to flow towards Mo Xie.
"ROAR!" Little Rascal let out fearsome howls of rage. His body abruptly turned small, retaining the form of a roc as he shot out of Mo Xie's grasp. Mo Xie's countenance changed. This Little Rascal's defenses were truly amazing, able to endure his attacks and even had the strength remaining to escape. In addition, he also seemed to have the capabilities of a thousand transformations.
Only to see that numerous devil-cultivators were on guard in all directions. With a wave of their hands, a layer of devilish tribulation might locked down this entire space, forming a Heavenly Devil Barrier. Little Rascal's body directly slammed into the barrier as the powerful devilish energy within gushed into him, causing him to scream in pain as fresh blood splattered through the air.
"You are still thinking to escape?" Mo Xie's voice was extremely chilly. He first made use of the White Tiger Race, causing them to enter a war with the Southern Phoenix Clan. After that, he led his men over. If he still allowed Little Rascal to escape despite his careful plans, it would truly be too much of a humiliation.
Purgatory reverted to her true form and rushed over. However, the experts from the Myriad Devil Islands banded together, combining their strengths to reinforce the barrier. Purgatory slammed heavily into that and with a thunderous bang, Purgatory was directly knocked down as she coughed out fresh blood. Despite the devil cultivators not attacking, it was impossible for her to break through the barrier with her strength.
This scene caused Purgatory to turn pale, she stared with worry at Little Rascal who was struggling madly as despair could be seen on her face. However right now, the battle between the Southern Phoenix Clan and White Tiger Race had already reached a crescendo, it was impossible for them to offer any help.
Little Rascal was still struggling futilely, yet there was no way for him to breach the barrier either. The injuries he suffered grew more and more heavy as Mo Xie's devilish might enveloped him once more, grabbing onto him.
"NO!" Purgatory rushed out again, yet a devil-cultivator instantly turned and shot a cold glance at her. With a blast of his palm, a devilish palm directly slammed into Purgatory and grabbed hold of her. "Since this is the case, you can become a source of nourishment for Mo Xie as well."
As he spoke, he tossed Purgatory's body into the Heavenly Devil Barrier.
"Stay your hand." A voice filled with iciness suddenly rang out. That devil expert's brows twitched as a devilish light gleamed in his eyes when he turned over in that direction. After that, he stiffened entirely as his eyes narrowed, staring at the figures who just appeared.
These people were also clad in devil robes, exuding an air of coldness and cruelty. This was especially so for the expert in the lead. Her long robes fluttered in the wind and there was a blood-colored armor within those robes, making her exude a sense of imposingness. Her lithe body and perfect curves made it clear that she was a female, and just by her figure, one could tell that this was also an exceedingly beautiful woman.
The woman's long hair fluttered as a blood-red crown was on her head. What made the spectators sigh was that her armor had extended and formed a mask that concealed her features, leaving only her eyes that shone with coldness out in the open. She was like the daughter of a devil god, exuding magnificence through the generations.
Behind her, there was also a group of devil-cultivators from the Myriad Devil Islands. The devil-experts around Mo Xie all had strange expressions on their faces when they saw her, and there was also a faint hint of trepidation and respect. But even so, they didn't intend to stop.
"IMPUDENT!" A terrifying character beside the female stepped out, his devilish might gushing forth ahead, pressing down on those devil-experts. Only then did those experts stop as the barrier locking the space disappeared. Mo Xie turned and glanced at the female, his hand was still holding onto the heavily injured Little Rascal as a defiant look could be seen in his eyes.
"Release him." The female stared at Mo Xie, there were no emotions in her eyes but her voice was extremely cold.
Mo Xie didn't comply. His face was like ice, he stared at the female and spoke, "This is my matter, what qualifications do you have to interfere?"
"Based on my qualifications as the priestess of the Judiciary Hall." The voice of the female was even colder than his.
"You might be the Priestess of the Judiciary Hall, but I'm the Devil Child of the Heavenly Devil Hall. I've not broken any rules of the devil path, what qualifications does the Judiciary Hall have to interfere in the business of my Heavenly Devil Hall?" Mo Xie shot back.
"Under the power my hall represents, who dares to defy me?" The female's voice turned solemn as an icy intent radiated from her. As the sound of her voice faded, the devil-practitioners around her respectively stepped out as a fearsome power could faintly be felt in the atmosphere. This caused all the experts around Mo Xie to have extremely ugly expressions.
"This bunch of blood-sucking bastards." They cursed in their hearts. The Myriad Devil Islands was the world of devil-cultivators. All devil-cultivators were cold and tyrannical but they similarly would still had fear and admiration in their hearts. This bunch of experts from the Judiciary Hall were undoubtedly all extremely crazy and powerful. Whenever they appeared, a storm of blood would soon follow. It was also unknown how many powerful devil sects have been felled by their hands. They are absolutely an existence that caused even the most audacious of all devil-cultivators to have fear in their hearts. Hence, there was a single sentence describing the Judiciary Hall in the Myriad Devil Islands - As the Judiciary Hall appears, all the Devils under the moon will weep. Under their might, even babies didn't dare to cry.
"This fucking slut." Mo Xie bristled with rage in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. If he said that, these people from the Judiciary Hall would directly act against him. He had no doubts about this point at all.
However, he still believed that this woman was cheap and despicable. It was only that she had luck on her side and managed to obtain the inheritance of the Judiciary Hall.
There were some devil arts in the Myriad Devil Islands that were extremely domineering in nature, these arts were different compared to the immortal arts practiced by immortals. The devil arts might be so tyrannical that it warped the personality of the one practicing it, causing the practitioner to become a completely different person.
The origins of this female were unclear, it was merely because of her good luck that she received the Judiciary inheritance. The moment she entered the sect, she instantly assumed the position of the Priestess of the Judiciary Hall.
"I'm the Devil Child of the Heavenly Devil Hall and minding my own business. Why are you interfering in my business?" How could Mo Xie give up so easily? He continued pressing her for an answer.
"When the Judiciary Hall does things, do we even need to explain our actions?" Her voice rang out, colder than ever. The experts around her all walked towards Mo Xie. Those from the Heavenly Devil Hall wanted to move yet they only heard the female saying, "For those who dares to touch the people of my Judiciary Hall, you all best think carefully about the consequences."
The experts around Mo Xie all halted with unsightly expressions. Mo Xie's expression was colder than ice, the killing intent in his eyes was unmasked as he stared hatefully at the female. After some time, he finally replied, "Sure, I will release him."
"Consider yourself lucky. Let's hope you won't be so lucky in the future." Mo Xie stared at Little Rascal as he growled before tossing Little Rascal away.
Purgatory's figure flashed and caught hold of Little Rascal. After being slammed into the Heavenly Devil Barrier, Little Rascal was grievously injured.
Mo Xie glanced at the female coldly before he waved his hand, "Retreat."
After that, he actually ignored the battle between the White Tiger Race and Southern Phoenix Clan and intended to leave directly.
"You guys have already participated in this battle against the Southern Phoenix Clan. This means that you all are no longer protected by rules in the academy and the Southern Phoenix Clan can kill you all if they want to. Why are you guys leaving just like this instead of slaughtering all of them now?" White-eye roared out while he was still in combat. These bastards from the Myriad Devil Islands have never intended to be their allies. They were simply using the white tigers to get to Qin Wentian's demonic beast.
Mo Xie didn't bother with White-eye and directly led his men away. He was frustrated, extremely frustrated now. He didn't want to lay his eyes on that woman any longer than he has to or he may lose control of himself and attempt to kill her.
But clearly, it was impossible for the Devil Child of the Heavenly Devil Hall to kill the priestess of the Judiciary Hall in public. Hence, he could only choose to leave.
"This bunch of lying bastards." White-eye was incomparably enraged. The people from the Myriad Devil Islands are truly despicable creatures.
"Retreat!" The White Tiger Race's experts roared. They could no longer remain in a deadlock against the Southern Phoenix Clan and these devil cultivators who just arrived, all had unclear intentions, they actually stopped Mo Xie. It seemed like they were on the side of the Southern Phoenix Clan. If this was the case, things would definitely be extremely dangerous for the white tigers. They were not willing to take the risk because as of this moment, they are no longer protected by rules of the sacred academy.
The white tigers all retreated, the Southern Phoenix Clan halted their violent attacks as well, not choosing to pursue after. Several holy maidens all suffered different degrees of injuries but luckily, nobody died. If the battle continued, casualties would surely appear. This was something they didn't want to happen.
"Chun`er…" The holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan all gathered before a female.
"Chun`er has transformed herself into a droplet of nirvanic blood, she should be able to be reborn from that. Let's return to our clan first. As to whether she would be able to return to her previous level of strength, it would have to depend on her fate." That holy maiden sighed. The nirvanic blood of the Southern Phoenix Clan was able to protect their lives in exchange for sacrificing themselves. It was already considered an extremely heaven-defying method.
Everyone nodded their heads lightly. Nanfeng Yunxi came to the side of Purgatory, staring at the heavily injured Little Rascal as she spoke, "Let us go into the Sky Connecting Realm."
"Mhm." Purgatory nodded her head. Right now, it was safer for them to be in the Sky Connecting Realm. If they remained in the sacred academy, who knows if the white tigers would be able to find some other enemies of their Southern Phoenix Clan to ally with and kill their way over again.
Purgatory inclined her head and stared at the priestess from the Myriad Devil Islands, "Thank you."
The priestess glanced at Purgatory before turning and departing without a single word.
Nanfeng Yunxi felt a little puzzled but she didn't think too much about it. She then left with the other maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan as they headed in the direction of the Sky Connecting Realm.
In the Sky Connecting Realm before the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock, there would be numerous experts coming here everyday to see if there were any changes to the Supreme Might Rankings. Throughout these few years, there were people appearing on the rankings but nobody knew who among these illustrious geniuses were stronger or weaker. Most probably, they would only know after those people fought against each other.
It's rumored that those few who stood at the absolute pinnacle, have already come into contact with the gate leading to the immortal king realm. It was unknown how terrifying their current strength is.
And right now in the second level of the Sky Connecting Realm, Qin Wentian was still there cultivating before the mirror-like light screen. At the end, all the innate techniques he was proficient is had undergone huge transformations. It was like he was able to raise the potential of any technique to the very peak and unleashed the ultimate prowess the technique was capable of. Right now, he slowly grew stronger and stronger and he even began to grope about blindly, attempting to fuse unique techniques that could produce terrifying might.
He has been in here for many years and although his cultivation base didn't break through, his combat prowess had risen to another level totally!
