Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The eyes of Yulong Shengtu flashed when he heard Qin Wentian's words. Back then when the sacred academy opened, he was roaming the world and had not entered. But he knew that there were some top-tier experts here being sent there.
Qin Wentian's words weren't without logic.
"The appearance of the sacred academy in the immortal realms was just a coincidence, it doesn't mean that the sacred academy belongs to the immortal realms and hence, it's only natural that devil cultivators can enter it freely. I also didn't say that immortal cultivators cannot enter the Myriad Devil Islands. It's just that you incited conflict between two of our devil emperors, the situation is completely different." Yulong Shengtu coldly spoke.
"When has the Myriad Devil Islands ever forbidden conflict. Under the radiance of the devil path, don't forget that the Myriad Devil Islands are so strong because all of us likes to battle." The Vast Sky Devil Emperor unhappily stated. This Yulong Shengtu interfered too much. Him wanting to pronounce Qin Wentian guilty was simply because of a whim.
Naturally, as the Imperial Dragon Saint, many couldn't defy his whims.
"Vast Sky Devil Emperor, are you in cahoots with the immortal realms?" Yulong Shengtu's expression turned cold as he released his aura. His eyes were like ice as he continued, "I'm pronouncing an immortal junior as guilty, yet you keep trying to explain for him. What do you mean by this?"
"Pronouncing him guilty simply because you feel like it? I have truly opened my eyes today." The Vast Sky Devil Emperor snorted.
"Give me a reason to not kill you. Let's hope you can convince me." Yulong Shengtu turned his gaze to Qin Wentian, his voice was calm as ever.
"RUMBLE!" Qin Wentian's aura erupted, as devil might gushed forth. He stared straight at Yulong Shengtu and spoke, "Is this immortal or devil?"
"Using devil energy to hide your immortal might. Such secret arts are commonly seen everywhere." Yulong Shengtu calmly spoke, not bothered in the slightest.
"If I choose to cultivate the devil path in the future, am I then an immortal or a devil then?" Qin Wentian asked again, causing Yulong Shengtu to frown.
"Senior Vast Sky Devil Emperor, the powers of the Fallen Devil Region don't seem to prohibit immortal cultivators from joining them. The island which I was on previously was the same as well. In that case, does the Devil Mountain accept immortal cultivators?" Qin Wentian curiously questioned.
"You think you can step on the Devil Mountain?" A smile appeared on Yulong Shengtu's face as he laughed mockingly.
"They do." The eyes of the Vast Sky Devil Emperor gleamed with sharpness as he spoke.
"The prerequisite is that you have to be able to find and climb the Devil Mountain. As long as you can get to there, you would be considered to have passed the test of the Myriad Devil Sovereign. Regardless of immortal, devil or demon, the Devil Mountain would accept you."
"In that case might I ask Yulong Shengtu, since I have a chance to also become a cultivator of the Devil Mountain, doesn't your claims seem ridiculous?" Qin Wentian said.
"What a glib tongue." Yulong Shengtu shook his head lightly. "This, is how a peak genius of the immortal realms acts. Disappointing."
"So it turns out that this is the true reason of why you wish to kill me." Qin Wentian suddenly laughed, extremely sarcastically. He stared at Yulong Shengtu and spoke, "Please then, guide me."
This words were extremely sudden but it concluded Qin Wentian's words as well as his mocking laughter from before. He was mocking that Yulong Shengtu wanted to kill him simply because he's a peak genius from the immortal realms. Yulong Shengtu was a peak devil genius but wanted to rely on his prestige as someone from the Devil Mountain to kill him off now before he has a chance to grow.
This 'Please then, guide me,' was undoubtedly challenging Yulong Shengtu, an expert of the Devil Mountain, with his identity as an immortal-realm cultivator.
A gust of wind blew by as countless gazes turned to Yulong Shengtu. How lofty and noble was his status? Yet many here knew that Qin Wentian was a character where none at the devil-foundation realm could rival him here in the entire Fallen Devil Region. But even so, how could he compare with Yulong Shengtu?
"For a sliver of chance to survive, you are trying to incite me into fighting you?" Yulong Shengtu coldly laughed.
"You really overestimate yourself." Yulong Shengtu had a mocking smile on his face. "This reason is unable to convince me. Hence, you have to die."
As the sound of the word 'die' rang out, numerous experts walked over to Qin Wentian, exuding an intense killing intent. The two devil emperors sat on two sides, but things which happened in this place seemed to be under the control of Yulong Shengtu. This was the prestige of the Devil Mountain. So what if there are devil emperors here? His status was beyond them, and given how lofty his status was, how could he be so easily challenged by an immortal realm cultivator?
"RUMBLE!" Qin Wentian's immortal-foundation appeared. His perfect saint-grade immortal-foundation flowed with resplendence, illuminating the area around it.
"Although the Devil Mountain is the legendary grounds of the Myriad Devil Islands, I believe that there wouldn't be many who managed to establish a perfect saint-grade devil-foundation, right?" Qin Wentian spoke. At this instant, he no longer radiated devil might but was immortal might instead.
He was using the fact that he had a saint-grade immortal-foundation to issue a challenge again.
"Hold on." Yulong Shengtu spoke. Those experts on his side walking towards Qin Wentian halted their steps. Yulong Shengtu had a look of interest on his face. A perfect saint-grade foundation? Truly, even on the Devil Mountain, not many people managed to establish that.
"Although you have one, the reason is still not enough. Even if I acted personally to kill you, there's really no meaning to that." Yulong Shengtu continued speaking.
"If you really can kill him in a one-on-one battle, I will give you an emperor-ranked treasure." The Vast Sky Devil Emperor suddenly spoke, his words causing shock to appear in the hearts of everyone here. Even for emperor-ranked characters, emperor-ranked weapons were exceedingly valuable. The Vast Sky Devil Emperor was actually willing to take out an emperor-ranked weapon for a bet, gambling on the fact that Yulong Shengtu wouldn't be able to kill Qin Wentian.
The Vast Sky Devil Emperor was truly gambling. In reality, he was communicating with Qin Wentian and Qin Wentian said that he would win for sure.
"Truly?" Yulong Shengtu asked.
"My words are naturally true. It's only I wonder what would happen if you were defeated?" The Vast Sky Devil Emperor asked.
"How could I possibly lose?" Yulong Shengtu laughed.
"I said, what if?" The Vast Sky Devil Emperor continued.
"If I lose, he naturally can live. I won't interfere in the matters of the Fallen Devil Region and will leave directly." Yulong Shengtu directly spoke.
"But if you lose and got angry because of embarrassment, breaking this pledge, and using the Devil Mountain to suppress others, I would still die for sure." Qin Wentian laughed.
"You are saying my words have no credit?" Yulong Shengtu stared at Qin Wentian, his eyes flickering with coldness.
"As a person who led an army to kill an immortal junior, it's truly hard to believe your words." Qin Wentian calmly replied.
"I can guarantee that if you win, he will leave immediately." At this moment, a voice rang out. The Fallen Devil Emperor and Vast Sky Devil Emperor's eyes flashed. There was actually someone here yet they as emperor-ranked characters, weren't aware at all.
Bright light flashed as a figure slowly materialized at the banquet, as though stepping out from the void.
As this person appeared, the eyes of everyone here turned to him. Even devil emperors didn't notice his coming, let alone devil kings. Their eyes gleamed dazzlingly, surveying this young man who just arrived.
This young man was dressed in simple robes, and his features ordinary. Despite how common he looked, the demeanor he exuded attracted the attention of everyone.
Yulong Shengtu froze, his eyes gleamed sharply as he stared at this young man who just arrived.
The young man had a smile on his face, he stared at Qin Wentian and spoke, "I can guarantee that if you win against him, nobody here would make things difficult for you."
The hearts of everyone trembled, what audacious words.
In the face of Yulong Shengtu, he said that if Qin Wentian won, nobody here would make things difficult for Qin Wentian, including Yulong Shengtu and his army.
Did this man come from the Devil Mountain as well?
What was going on in the Fallen Devil Region, where there were so many people from the Devil Mountain appearing. Could it be that a storm was going to rise up between the immortal realms and Myriad Devil Islands?
"How can you be so sure?" Qin Wentian asked.
"People from the Devil Mountain, our words naturally can be counted upon." The young man spoke in a light tone, staring at Yulong Shengtu. "Am I right?"
Yulong Shengtu stared at the smiling young man. Right now, his aura was a little retracted. He knew that this young man was also from the Devil Mountain.
Even though he might be the Imperial Dragon Saint, he couldn't afford to antagonize this smiling young man.
"Naturally." Yulong Shengtu spoke.
"Can I take a seat?" The young man turned his gaze towards the Fallen Devil Emperor as he asked.
"Please feel free." The Fallen Devil Emperor nodded. He had been keeping silent, allowing the situation to develop as it will. With people from the Devil Mountain arriving one after another, he was also extremely shocked.
The young man casually chose a seat and sat down, staring at Yulong Shengtu and Qin Wentian. It was like he just came here to watch the show, and was on neither side.
Seems like the experts from the legendary mountain each have their own opinions. They should be from different devil halls.
Yulong Shengtu stood up and walked towards Qin Wentian. His luxurious robes fluttered in the wind and his handsome countenance exuded an extraordinary air, illustrating his loftiness.
Even the Fallen Devil Emperor was looking at him. He wanted to see how long Qin Wentian would be able to last against this man.
Other than the Vast Sky Devil Emperor, no one else believed in Qin Wentian. Even for the subordinates of Vast Sky Devil Emperor, even if Qin Wentian had a perfect saint-grade immortal-foundation, even if Qin Wentian's talent was extremely outstanding.
After all, his opponent came from the legendary Devil Mountain and was the Imperial Dragon Saint of the Imperial Dragon Devil Hall. He was a genius at the peak of that legendary place, his authority as immense as the sky.
"It has been a very long time since I fought against someone. Because for those in the same generation as me, other than some existences of the Devil Mountain, there's like no one worthy enough to make me fight them." Yulong Shengtu walked to the front of Qin Wentian and spoke slowly. "You are trying to use a psychological method to fight for a sliver of chance for you to survive. However, do you truly believe that you would have a chance?"
"How utterly ridiculous!"
A mocking laughter rang out. Dragon roars emitted from Yulong Shengtu's devil-foundation as numerous dragons of darkness manifested, flying up into the air, coiling in the airspace above him.
Instantly, an indomitable wave of might engulfed everything amidst the roars of dragon. For people at the devil-foundation realm, all of them felt their devil-foundations trembling from the intensity of the roars!
