Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
"As a general under my father, you don't even know this?" Yan Yuxin frowned and coldly stated when she heard the conversation between Qin Wentian and her sister.
Qin Wentian glanced at Yan Yuxin as he asked, "This, does it have anything to do with you?"
"Impudent!" Yan Yuxin coldly shouted. "You best keep in mind your identity. You are merely a general under my father, how dare you speak to me in this manner."
Qin Wentian coldly laughed, he cast a glance at Yan Yuruo, "Third princess, I will take my leave."
"Let me come with you." Yan Yuruo pulled his hand and spoke.
"No. You better remain here. Help me talk to the devil king. This island is so vast, I want to go and take a look." Qin Wentian smiled. He originally already wanted to leave here. This Yan Yuxin coincidentally provided him with an excuse. There was nothing he wanted more.
"Elder sister, you went too far. I already told you he isn't just a general, he is my man." Yan Yuruo coldly stared at her elder sister.
"There are countless geniuses here on the Fallen Devil Island. Just at this gathering alone, so many elites are here, all of them with a respectable background. Any random person you choose here would be countless times stronger when compared to him. Yuruo, why must you be so obstinate?" Yan Yuxin saw that her little sister was wasting her good intentions and decided to speak mercilessly, feeling resentful and impatient.
"Also as for you, how dare you seek something higher than your station as a servant. I will never permit you to take my sister away." Yan Yuxin stared at Qin Wentian, the tyrannical aura gushing out was without a doubt. For people living on the devil islands, even if they were female, they were all extremely fierce and imposing.
The others watched silently. Before this they already speculated that this should be the case. Seems like their judgement was right, Yan Yuxin was very unhappy regarding the choice of her little sister because the guy in question was just a general under her father.
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come." Yan Yuruo spoke to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian lightly shook his head and stretched his hand out to cradle her face. His actions caused the devilish female to start, staring at Qin Wentian in bewilderment. This was the first time Qin Wentian did such an intimate action to her.
"Take good care of yourself, she is your sister after all and naturally wouldn't harm you. Let's meet again during the devil emperor's birthday celebration." Qin Wentian smiled after he spoke, before turning about and departing the area.
Staring at Qin Wentian's back, the heart of the devilish female trembled all of a sudden. Before this, Qin Wentian had always been acting as though he was being bullied by her. After all, she was a princess and he was a subordinate. When she pursued him, he could only hide away. But the Qin Wentian now was as though he was suddenly filled with a unique brilliant light of self-confidence.
She, who is a princess of a devil island, seemed to be a weak female that needed him to be taken care of. That gentle touch of his… Qin Wentian truly seemed different from his usual self.
"Hold it there." At this moment, Azureflame Tuo beside Yan Yunxi coldly spoke.
Qin Wentian continued on his way as though he didn't hear anything. What qualifications did Azureflame Tuo have to command him to halt?
"What an arrogant fellow." An expert laughed. After which, a wave of devilish might descend from the sky as a crack opened up in the void. The expert who spoke waved his hand and a heaven-shocking devil saber actually slashed towards Qin Wentian, bringing with it a cold, merciless light.
"A devil general foreigner, I wonder how strong he is." That expert smiled as he launched the attack, speaking in an extremely carefree tone.
But at this moment, Qi Da who has always been following behind Qin Wentian, acted. A fearsome battle saint light gushed forth from him. He abruptly turned around and grabbed out with his hand, attempting to block the devil saber. With a thunderous bang, the saber slashed down but it was actually caught by his palm. A moment later, the saber manifestation shattered apart, turning into nothingness.
Qi Da stared coldly at that genius before he turned and followed after Qin Wentian again.
"Any random person here would be countless times stronger compared to my Saint Lord? With such a level of strength, you guys don't even qualify to help me lift my shoes." Qi Da spoke to the expert who attacked. The two of them gradually faded away into the distance, causing everyone present to be stunned, especially for that expert who launched the attack.
Earlier, that person used his bare hand to grab the devil saber, destroying it. Although he only did so, he exuded a feeling of absolute power. There was no way that person was weak.
However that person referred to that devil general as a lord?
Yan Yuxin froze, clearly she was shocked by what just happened. She then only heard Yan Yuruo coldly speaking, "Elder sister, I already said it before. You say that my horizons are limited but the truth is, that's only something you believed to be. You think that you know everything simply because you stay on the Fallen Devil Island. You are the one whose horizons are truly limited."
Yan Yuxin's expression sank. "Even if his strength isn't weak, so what of it? Just a mere general under our father, what status does he have?"
"Laughable, a mere general? If that's the case, if the many people here are not even comparable to 'that mere general,' what qualifications do they have to be arrogant? They are all a bunch of useless trash. You say that father didn't support you that year, but have you ever thought that all your actions were driven by your willfulness and selfishness?" Yan Yuruo coldly spoke before flicking her sleeves and departing as well.
"Simply ridiculous." Yan Yuxin slammed her palms onto the table before her angrily as her aura fluctuated.
Azureflame Tuo also had an unsightly expression on his face, "There's no need to be angry. She is after all your sister and she would understand your kindness in the future. Not too long from now, she will realize many things."
"Mhm." Yan Yuxin nodded, gradually calming herself down.
"Everyone, please continue." Azureflame Tuo smiled at the others, as though nothing had happened at all. However, there was an extremely cold light flickering in the depths of his eyes.
...
On the Fallen Devil Island, the building which symbolized the majesticness of the island most, was none other than the Sky Suspension Devil Palace. The myriad of islands in the Myriad Devil Islands were originally floating in the air, and as for this palace, it floated above the Fallen Devil Island, as though it was an entity separate from the world.
This Sky Suspension Devil Palace was naturally the residence of the devil emperor.
Qin Wentian followed the map but he still took quite a long period of time before he found the extremely vast floating devil palace. This devil palace gave off a transcendent feeling, causing many to worship it.
There were four stairways in the four directions leading up to this floating devil palace. And in each direction, there were four different devil sects. Within each of these sects, was a supreme character. The four supreme characters, who were the masters of the four devil sects, were none other than the four devil king generals under the devil emperor.
"The style of devil path buildings truly emphasizes on the word 'tyrannical.'" Qin Wentian sighed in admiration.
Right now in his surroundings, countless geniuses were gathered. The geniuses here in this place were truly as common as clouds, all of them had a look of worship on their faces when they inclined their heads, staring up at the floating palace. At the same time, there were also people trying to qualify for the test to enter the birthday celebration of the devil emperor.
Although it was the birthday celebration of the devil emperor, it wasn't so easy to gain access to the floating palace.
Qin Wentian stared in that direction. Outside the palace, directly before them, there was a strange-looking nest. However, Qin Wentian knew that this Devil Nest was an extremely famous place on the Fallen Devil Island, named the Thousand Arts Devil Nest. There were guards outside, and usually, one of the four devil sects would use the devil nest as the criteria of selection for new disciples. As long as one could exit the Devil Nest within a stipulated time, they can choose to join under any of the four devil kings who were subordinates of the devil emperor.
And now for the birthday celebration, the criteria of entry also used the Devil Nest as a test.
"For the devil sects in the four directions, they all have a similar nest. Since we are already here, let's choose this nest." Qin Wentian spoke to Qi Da who stood behind him.
"Saint Lord, as you decide." Qi Da spoke.
"According to the jade slips, this devil nest has the name of Thousand Arts Devil Nest. There are many different kinds of innate techniques and cultivation arts of the devil path there. The vast majority of them emphasize on attack. After entering, we have to do our best to comprehend and the shorter our comprehension time is, the better our results would be." Qin Wentian and Qi Da continued forward. On their way there, many other figures also entered the nest. They also saw that there were some who just entered but were already forced out directly, suffering many injuries.
Naturally, there were also people who exited from the other side of the Devil Nest, passing the test.
"How quick, it isn't even time for an incense stick to burn out and that man already exited." At this moment, someone exclaimed in shock. There was a young man with extremely outstanding talent who won the admiration of the crowd.
"Oh, he is Ye Zimo from the Ye Clan. No wonder." Someone spoke. After that, expressions of a sudden understanding appeared on the faces of everyone. This Ye Zimo was a ranker on the Devil Rankings.
Devil cultivators thirsted for battle and power. On the Fallen Devil Island, there were two rankings - the Devil King Rankings as well as the Devil Rankings.
Devil King Ranking is the record of the strongest devil king characters on the Fallen Devil Island.
The Devil Ranking is the record for the most outstanding experts at the devil-foundation realm on the Fallen Devil Island and Ye Zimo was precisely one of the rankers on it.
"I'm still not as fast as him, he only used half the time it takes for an incense stick to burn." Someone sighed.
"You are speaking of him?" The eyes of a person nearby flashed, instantly recalling someone. After that he smiled, "It's rumored that he had a pair of unparalleled eyes. On the entire Fallen Devil Island, for those below the devil-king realm, leaving aside combat prowess, how many would be his match just comparing comprehension abilities alone?"
"That's true." That person earlier nodded and laughed. At this moment, they saw two other figures stepping into the Devil Nest.
These two, were none other than Qin Wentian and Qi Da.
After Qin Wentian entered the Devil Nest, he instantly felt an overwhelming pressure gushing towards him from all directions. After which, he saw a pair of gigantic devil palms containing terrifying might and countless transformations blasting right at him. These palms seemed to be made up of countless palm imprints stacked together, exuding an aura of pure destruction.
"Boom!" Qin Wentian lifted his palm and smashed out with his own imprint. When the two attacks collided against each other in mid air, both crumbled upon impact. However, the law energy within the palm was extremely unique. A stream of power gushed right into his mind, invading his sea of consciousness.
Although that devil palm was powerful, how could it be more powerful compared to the suppression effect of his ancient characters born from art of truth as well as the augmentation of God's Hand? With the fusion of the two, there was no problem for him at all to overcome that attack.
Qin Wentian blinked, in the space of time he took for him to blink, a fearsome devilish might gushed forth from him. When he lifted his palm again, he actually blasted out a devil palm completely similar to the attack before, filled with indomitable might. With a thunderous boom, Qin Wentian's silhouette flashed by and directly shot through the air, exiting the Devil Nest in a seemingly effortless manner.
The guards outside the Devil Nest started, glancing at Qin Wentian. One of them froze for a moment before speaking, "Nine breaths to exit. You pass the test."
"Nine breaths." As the sound of his voice rang out, countless gazes gathered on Qin Wentian.
"How is this possible?" Someone exclaimed in shock.
Qin Wentian froze, was he too fast?
"Little brother, are you willing to join as a subordinate under the fourth devil king?" That guard smiled.
Only to see that right now, numerous experts were walking over, several of them at the devil-king level. One of them then spoke to Qin Wentian, "I'm from the Cold Mountain Devil Sect, are you willing to join my sect?"
"What does the Cold Mountain Devil Sect count for? I'm from the Thousand Edge Devil Mountain and am formally inviting you to join us."
Numerous devil kings issued invitations to Qin Wentian.
Nine breaths of time. How insanely high was his comprehension abilities?
