Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

In the area of the Burial Gorge, the battle here was extremely chaotic, causing devilish might to cloak the entire area as bits of flesh and blood spewed about, with many people dying.

The number of participants were dwindling at a rapid rate.

There were some intelligent people who were still evading battles, hiding at certain locations. Hence, they didn’t head to the Burial Gorge to engage in that battle with the other participants.

However, they were too clever for their own good. Evading battles to such an extent could only mean that they didn’t dare to fight at all. How would such people ever gain the recognition of the devil emperor?

"This Old Chai is too ruthless." The spectators outside silently mused. The number of deaths on his hands were definitely the most. This fellow was too dangerous, launching sneak attacks while others were battling.

"Ruthless, and he doesn’t care about the methods used to obtain victory. Will Old Chai be able to gain the devil emperor’s favor by acting like this?" Somebody mused. This already wasn’t the first time Old Chai participated in this event. His age was too old, and his cultivation base was at this level already many years ago.

"Devil cultivators should be like this. He is much more ruthless compared to the past, and killing people like that makes it extremely easy to offend some major powers. However, Old Chai seems to be giving his all, he clearly wants to attract the attention of his Majesty." A devil king, who was spectating, spoke.

Old Chai seems that he really wanted to gain the devil emperor’s favor, he spared no expense and staked everything. Most probably, he has been stuck in this realm for far too long and he could feel death slowly approaching him. He needed the devil emperor’s approval. Even if it’s just fame, it was able to preserve his reputation for a long time. It would naturally be for the best if he could break through. A break through now was the most important thing to Old Chai.

The devil emperor also knew of Old Chai’s intentions. Both of them were old monsters who had cultivated for countless years. How could he not understand Old Chai’s feelings?

"What do you feel about Old Chai?" The devil emperor asked Old Xia.

"Ruthless enough, but he is lacking a little in talent. All other aspects are perfect for a devil cultivator. If he can break through to the immortal king realm, he will become a truly dangerous character and at that time, you can recruit him as your personal subordinate." Old Xia Devil King spoke.

"Seems like you have a very high evaluation with regards to him. Other than him, there is another very intelligent man, evading battles for the sake of the last fight. But why did you don’t think well of the young man named Qin Wentian?" The devil emperor asked again.

"He is different from Old Chai. Old Chai is very old, and it’s extremely rare for him to have such courage. That man is still so young, and by rights, he should have the tyranny and domineeringness of devil cultivators."

"In that case if you were to select the top three, you would rather choose Old Chai instead of Qin Wentian?" The devil emperor spoke.

"That’s right." Old Xia Devil King nodded. The devil emperor smiled but he didn’t say anything. At this moment, everyone could clearly see that there was a grudge between Qin Wentian and Huang Shatian. This old friend of his favored Huang Shatian, he would naturally dislike Qin Wentian.

Old Xia Devil King also knew that the devil emperor knew what he was thinking. However, he didn’t mind it. Given their relationship, there’s no need to care about such methods.

The Blackstone Devil King who was sitting behind, frowned even more severely. This battle hasn’t even started and the Old Xia Devil King was already supporting Huang Shatian so fervently. This was clearly extremely disadvantageous for Qin Wentian as after all, the Old Xia Devil King was someone who could influence the decisions of the devil emperor.

"Mo Ji, guess who would be the victor if both of them fought." The devil emperor spoke to Mo Ji who was in his embrace.

"No idea, but from the looks of things, old senior Xia’s recommended young man seemed to be stronger in comparison." Mo Ji smiled lightly, her body was so soft as though she was melting into his arms, as she exuded boundless charm. If her target wasn’t the Fallen Devil Emperor, ordinary devil kings would definitely not be able to resist her charm.

The Old Xia Devil King smiled. This Mo Ji was able to discern his thoughts just from his actions and knew what to say.

"In fact, I think that Qin Wentian might only have a slight chance." Mo Ji laughed as she stared at the battle platform.

More and more experts died in the Burial Gorge. There were also some who sighed helplessly, choosing to leave the battlefield instead, returning to their seats and becoming spectators.

Old Chai’s heart was still filled with reluctance. Right now, he lifted his saber and walked towards Qin Wentian with a smiling face.

Qin Wentian glanced at Old Chai. It seems like Old Chai wasn’t very pleased that the limelight was snatched by both he and Huang Shatian. He wanted to fight against him.

Everyone was very clear of Huang Shatian’s strength, but he only treated Qin Wentian as his only opponent. Hence, even if Qin Wentian’s battle achievements weren’t very outstanding, as long as he performed dazzlingly enough in his battle against Huang Shatian, even if he was defeated, there was still a very high chance for him to gain the devil emperor’s favor.

Old Chai wanted to seize this chance to obtain the devil emperor’s attention and the only choice remaining, was for him to fight against Qin Wentian and gain victory. If he did so, all the glory which belonged to Qin Wentian would shift to him instead.

However, Duan Qianshan actually appeared right before Old Chai now. A green-colored sword could be seen in his hand as he stood there quietly.

"Can’t you give me a chance to fight him?" Old Chai asked.

"Defeat me first if you can." Duan Qianshan calmly replied.

"Sure." Old Chai smiled. His saber cleaved down as black lightning manifested.

Duan Qianshan’s silhouette flashed as several shadows appeared in different directions, enveloping Old Chai.

"Careful, Old Chai is extremely dangerous." Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Duan Qianshan.

Several experts then started moving towards Qin Wentian, wanting to surround him. These people were all his enemies from the Skymist Alliance. Seems like they planned to end everything during this birthday event of the devil emperor.

Qin Wentian’s aura erupted forth, his body covered with layers of light. The him right now was unexcelled in the world.

At the very same instant, Huang Shatian who was sitting there, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was incomparably sharp, penetrating through space, directly staring at Qin Wentian. "Do you want to battle?"

"Let’s battle." Qin Wentian replied.

"Just like in the past, why don’t you activate your bloodline power? If not, you wouldn’t even have a smidgen of a chance." Huang Shatian calmly stated. Qin Wentian back then was able to fight so intensely against him, who was at the peak of immortal-foundation, was clearly because he depended on his bloodline power to push his strength up to a terrifying extent.

Although Qin Wentian now has already entered the seventh-level of immortal-foundation, if he didn’t depend on that bloodline secret art, he was far from sufficient to fight against Huang Shatian.

Qin Wentian closed his eyes as his blood started churning. All of a sudden, crimson light radiated from him as his aura began to rise. His eyes grew increasingly demonic, gleaming with blood-colored light. His long robes and black hair fluttered in the wind as a demon god phantom appeared behind him. The Qin Wentian at this instant was like a descendant of the god of demons.

"RUMBLE!" A terrifying surge of violent demonic qi gushed forth from him. Some of the cultivators here all felt themselves trembling when they sensed the might from it. When they turned to glance in the direction Qin Wentian was in, their expressions all drastically changed. Could it be that this fellow’s true form was a supreme greater demon? Why was his demonic qi so fearsome?

"BOOM!" Only to see Qin Wentian stepping out. The fearsome demonic qi became corporeal beams of light that swept out into the distance. The experts in the surroundings who were on both sides, instantly retreated, carving out a battlefield just for the two of them.

The spatial light screen behind Huang Shatian glimmered with resplendence. Nine-colored emperor light intersected with the spatial light, exuding boundless might.

"Everyone, get lost." Huang Shatian roared. A moment later, countless beams of light shot out in eight directions, making it so that the other cultivators had no choice but to leave the area. This scene caused the spectators outside to feel their hearts shaking. Leaving aside fighting against the two of them, no one was even allowed in the surroundings near them. How tyrannical was that?

The two of them walked closer step by step to each other. Huang Shatian and Qin Wentian’s aura gushed forth, colliding with each other as the law energy from their bodies flowed continuously.

"I know you must have cultivated an ultimate art. However, the technique I comprehended this time also belongs to the ultimate level. You will lose for sure." Huang Shatian’s gaze gleamed sharply as he stared at Qin Wentian, he was filled with absolute confidence.

Ever since he exited the sacred academy, although Huang Youdi died and he failed to kill Qin Wentian, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire didn’t blame him. Instead, they bestowed upon him a supreme inheritance treasure of the empire. This supreme treasure was something the founding ancestor of their empire used back in the day, it was able to merge flawlessly with their cultivation art, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Canon, granting him a one-time boost in strength permanently.

Hence, this was why he had absolute confidence.

Even for an immortal king who just had broken through, that person might not be able to fight against the current Huang Shatian. And if he used that inheritance treasure, that immortal king would even be killed.

How could anyone in this battlefield be able to stand against me? Hence, he dared to say that in here, he only had a single opponent. The other cultivators didn’t even qualify to be his opponent. action

"Is it this spatial light screen behind you?" Qin Wentian could sense the immense might. Huang Shatian stood as he arrogantly spoke, "FIGHT!"

As the sound of his voice faded, the light from his laws enveloped this entire space. Qin Wentian also felt himself being trapped inside Huang Shatian’s domain. In just an instant, Qin Wentian felt as though he was wading in mud, sinking into a swamp. The twisting strands of space made him unable to move about freely.

Numerous sharp divine weapons were facing him. Qin Wentian furrowed his brows, the current Huang Shatian was clearly much more powerful than the past. Just this attack alone, how many in this current battlefield would be able to stand up to it?

Huang Shatian quietly stood there, he then called out in a cold voice, "Kill."

This single word was the impetus. In just an instant, millions of killing weapons shot towards Qin Wentian. This strike had the power to break the heavens, causing the people in this area to perspire cold sweat.

However, Huang Shatian’s countenance was as calm as ever. He knew this was merely the beginning of the battle. If Qin Wentian could be killed so easily by something like this, he wouldn’t qualify to be his opponent at all.

"BOOM!" A violent surge of demonic might gushed forth as Qin Wentian’s body became a body of laws. The terrifying demon god phantom enveloped him. It was like he himself, was a supreme demon king.

His body itself, was his law domain.

Millions of killing weapons shot over, yet all of them smashed into that ultimate defense. The thunderous rumbling sound of the impact caused the eardrums of everyone to tremble. Despite their vaunted power, the killing weapons were unable to break through that defense!
