Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Huang Shatian stared at him, his opponent actually didn’t feel that it was a pair of eyes looking at him, but was an icy devil saber. His expression changed drastically, extremely fascinating to behold.
He stretched out both his hands and in an instant, boundless devil might gathered, forming devil runes which issued a loud humming. The devil weapons of many people started to hum back in resonance as they flew out of their own volition, revolving around Huang Shatian. As for Huang Shatian, he seemed even sharper than before. It was like he himself was a divine devil weapon. action
Numerous experts flew over, all of them staring fixedly at Huang Shatian. This man was an immortal realm cultivator, did he really enter the true sacred ground and gain an inheritance?
This art was able to control all divine weapons of the devil path and could even summon weapons or cause himself to become a devil weapon. The power it exuded was terrifying to the extreme.
From afar, there were even powerful devil kings rushing over. When they saw the divine weapons revolving around Huang Shatian as well as the intense devil might he was radiating, all of them couldn’t help but to pause as they glanced at each other.
As senior characters of the mountain, they naturally knew of some secrets. It was said that in the very depths of the Saint Devil Hall, there was a secret dimension which contains all the different types of energy from the six other supreme halls. However, only a rare few could reach that place. And even if some with outstanding talents managed to enter, they might not gain any inheritance at all.
In addition, for those cultivators of the respective devil halls, if they managed to come in here, they would usually choose the inheritance power which they were most suited to. By doing so, they would have a higher chance to have greater accomplishments in the future, or even sit upon the throne of their respective halls.
But now, a variant appeared. Except the inheritor wasn’t a devil expert from their mountain but was from the immortal realms instead. He might have obtained the inheritance of that place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Which devil hall’s inheritance did you obtain?" A devil king asked Huang Shatian. His deep eyes gleamed with dark light as he stared fixedly at Huang Shatian.
That was a brand new kind of energy, and it’s highly possible it belonged to a new supreme devil hall which no one knew about. If this was the case, and if Huang Shatian could continue growing without dying, he would have the qualifications to establish a new devil hall on the Devil Mountain the moment he broke through to the devil emperor realm. In fact, if he was strong enough, he could do the same as the founder of the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall and move his hall to the peak of the mountain, granting it equal status with the seven other supreme halls.
"If you all can help me expel some people from the Devil Mountain, I can consider passing on the inheritance to you all. In fact, I’m even willing to leave this inheritance behind here. What do all of you think?" Huang Shatian quietly spoke, his words causing the countenances of the experts from the Evergreen Alliance to instantly change as they stared at Huang Shatian with anger.
This fellow actually saw them and knew that the participants of both sides have already ascended the mountain. The Devil Mountain prohibited killing hence, he wished to drive them all back down the mountain before killing them.
"This..." The eyes of those devil cultivators shone like torches, staring at Huang Shatian like they were looking at a treasure. This Huang Shatian can also be considered as having no fear at all. He didn’t hide the fact that he obtained a new type of devil inheritance energy and displayed it openly. There was no doubt that his new-found inheritance would be coveted by many.
However Huang Shatian didn’t seem to care at all. What guts does he have.
"Wait here. I need to check with my devil hall." A devil king spoke. After which, he turned and sped away, heading back to his devil hall.
Those who ascended the Devil Mountain all passed the test of the Myriad Devil Sovereign and gained his approval to be here. They were protected by his light, and unless someone broke the rules of the mountain, there was no way for the people on the Devil Mountain to expel them. The devil halls cannot accept them, but they cannot expel or kill them. This has always been the rule of the Devil Mountain.
But now, because of a single sentence from Huang Shatian, some of these devil cultivators seemed to want to change the rule, and if they did so, it would mean that they would have defied the Myriad Devil Sovereign’s will.
However, they couldn’t help but to pause and consider Huang Shatian’s words, they were really tempted.
Not long after, more and more experts gathered here, including those from the immortal realms. In addition, the devil cultivators from the six supreme halls also came by.
Their gazes would occasionally sweep towards the immortal realm experts of the Evergreen Alliance, causing the countenance of Qi Da and the others to turn extremely unsightly and heavy.
Very clearly, these devil cultivators felt some stirring in their hearts.
"Everyone, what do you all think?" At this moment, a voice rang out in the air. This voice was somewhat misty, like it originated from the void. The experts outside the Saint Devil Hall inclined their heads, who was the one who spoke?
"Since he obtained the inheritance, he is someone from our Devil Mountain. Let me ask you first, do you have any intentions to stay on the mountain? We can help you in cultivation, allow you to grow stronger and in the future, you would have the opportunity to establish your own hall." An imposing voice thundered out. Clearly, this voice was speaking to Huang Shatian. There was an extremely terrifying expert from one of the devil halls talking to Huang Shatian.
"No. Maybe in the future I will come by here again. But for now, I won’t remain, I have to go back to the immortal realms." Huang Shatian calmly replied that expert.
"Judiciary, he seems to have rejected you." Another voice rang out. Everyone then understood that that expert who conversed with Huang Shatian earlier was a supreme expert from the Judiciary Devil Hall. Seems like it was true that the Judiciary Hall follows the will of the sovereign. Huang Shatian was an immortal realm cultivator but they were willing to admit his position, allowing him to remain here to continue cultivating.
"Senior, please pardon me." Huang Shatian bowed slightly.
"You are saying that as long as we expel some people from the mountain, you will leave the inheritance behind and leave here?" An expert asked.
"Yes. Junior can immediately make a vow to not spread this devil art to anyone in the future or I will die a terrible death." Huang Shatian swore. He knew how important this inheritance was to the Devil Mountain. Hence, it was necessary for him to act his way.
"Of course. If you dare to spread it to others, even if you are the reigning emperor of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, you would still have to die." A tyrannical voice thundered out, with absolute authority, causing the hearts of many to tremble. This was the tyranny and confidence of a supreme expert of the devil halls? Even if Huang Shatian returns to the immortal realms, they would still have ways to deal with him. They already knew his origins, one could see how resourceful they were from this.
Huang Shatian didn’t doubt the spoken words at all. This inheritance was something from the true sacred ground of the Devil Mountain. If he circulated it around the immortal realms, how would the Devil Mountain spare him?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe naturally understood that if the forces of the Devil Mountain truly wanted to deal with his immortal empire, no matter how strong his empire might be, it would still be insufficient to stand up to the Devil Mountain.
The Myriad Devil Islands could prohibit immortal emperors from coming here, while the Devil Mountain was the representative of the will of the entire Myriad Devil Islands.
"I don’t have any objections. Judiciary, as long as you nod your head, this matter isn’t difficult to resolve at all." An expert from another devil hall spoke.
"I object. Since they have ascended the Devil Mountain, it means they gained the approval of the sovereign. We have no rights or any qualifications to expel those who passed the test. That would be blasphemy to the sovereign." A powerful devil expert spoke, this voice was from the direction of the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall.
"Hmph." A cold voice rang out, as though the speaker was filled with contempt for the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall’s expert. He then spoke, "The inheritance of the Devil Mountain is more important than anything else. There’s a new type of inheritance appearing, and we naturally must ensure it remains here. Rules are set by humans, and sometimes, it’s better to be flexible instead of rigidly following rules blindly and misunderstanding the true will of the Myriad Devil Sovereign."
"Nonsense. By doing so, you would have committed blasphemy. How dare you still make it sound like your argument is logical?" That expert from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall coldly retorted.
"Judiciary, your words will be the deciding factor. We will leave the final decision to the Judiciary Devil Hall." A voice replied. The entire atmosphere outside the Saint Devil Hall was silent. All the experts inclined their heads, quietly listening to the words spoken. Devil cultivators were as expected of their reputation, straight-forward and tyrannical. They didn’t need to hide their thoughts and simply said what they want to say.
"The edicts of the Judiciary Hall are always to comply with the will of the sovereign. Expulsion is clearly something that defies the sovereign’s will. However, we have an even more important mission and that’s to continue finding successors for the sovereign’s inheritances so we can protect the mountain for all eternity, protecting the entire Myriad Devil Islands by extension. In that case, we need strength, all of us need to grow stronger. Hence, my decision is to expel those people from the mountain. Everything is decided for the sake of making our Devil Mountain stronger.
"Judiciary, you made the right choice,." An expert agreed. At this instant, Huang Shatian’s alliance members all laughed while the Evergreen Alliance all had gloomy looks on their faces.
These supreme experts of the halls simply decided on the matter after exchanging a few sentences. This was simply wanting their lives.
"Seniors of the Devil Mountain, are you all truly planning to ignore the will of the Myriad Devil Sovereign and even lie to yourselves?" A voice filled with unwillingness rang out from the crowd. However, there was no reply. Only after sometime did the reply came, "You guys make your preparations to leave the Devil Mountain. I don’t wish for you to force us to evict you."
Since the supreme devil experts already made their decisions, there was no way they would change it so easily. And if they really got down the mountain, their fates would definitely be sealed.
"Get down now." A cold voice rang out, like a thunderbolt from the sky, ringing out loud in the ears of the immortal experts from the Evergreen Alliance. Getting down the mountain now equates to doomsday for them!
