Nanfeng Ruoxuan glanced at the scene ahead as she frowned, "Why are there so many devil cultivators?"

Atop the ravine, devil cultivators were everywhere. The wind caused clouds of sand and dust to dance about. Even before they arrived at the gorge, they already felt signs of the incoming storm.

"The battlefield we are in was created by a formation. Since it is a formation, it naturally can be controlled by someone else. Seems like everyone who participated were forcibly brought here by the controller. A true chaotic royal rumble would soon commence." Qin Wentian was very familiar with formations, he was able to guess the actual reason just by thinking a little.

"I think this should be the case." Nanfeng Ruoxuan nodded lightly. The three of them continued. They stood on the ground of gorge and glanced at the experts in their surroundings. This place was simply filled with devil cultivators. However, no battles erupted yet.

Evidently, everyone here filled each other with trepidation. Nobody wanted to be the first to act recklessly.

"What should we do?" Qi Da asked.

"We will wait and see." Qin Wentian replied. Given how many experts were here now, a sudden movement could be the spark that set off the whole situation.

Several cold gazes turned toward Qin Wentian. These people were all from the Skymist Alliance, there were some who were the participants, and other powerful characters who came in together. In any case, all of them were his enemies who wanted his life.

Naturally, other than these people, there were also people from the Evergreen Alliance. However, all of them stood quietly where they were, as though they weren’t acquainted with each other.

Old Chai and Xia Yuan also arrived. They were the two strongest individuals on the Devil Rankings, yet both of them were extremely quiet now. Especially for Old Chai, he stood in a remote corner, preferring to remain inconspicuous. In such a situation, the stronger someone was, the more he would be ganged up on by others. That person would surely be in an extremely miserable state.

From afar, clouds of dust rose up. A figure could be seen walking over from the distance. This man radiated terrifying light from his entire body, in the spatial light screen behind him, swords, sabers, spears, lances all seemed to want to penetrate the void and erupt forth. In an instant, countless gazes turned over, as the eyes of everyone gleamed with coldness.

In this place where all the devil experts gathered, there was actually someone who dared to be so arrogant? His arms were crossed before his chest as he slowly advanced forward, stopping only when he stood atop a gigantic rock that was at the center of the gorge. His gaze penetrated through the distance, staring in the direction of Qin Wentian.

"Huang Shatian." Qin Wentian returned the gaze. Even though there was a vast distance separating them, he could still sense the might radiating from Huang Shatian. That kind of supreme arrogance, like he was the lord of this world, could only belong to Huang Shatian.

Qin Wentian didn’t doubt Huang Shatian’s power. Back then when they entered the sacred academy, various geniuses from all around the immortal realms went in as well. Among them, Huang Shatian could still stand at the peak. Only a rare few were at the same level as him.

This meant that even in the perspective of the entire immortal realms, Huang Shatian stood at the pinnacle. Although this battlefield was filled with the strongest devil cultivators of the Fallen Devil Region, how could a single devil region compare to the entire immortal realms? In addition, Huang Shatian’s cultivation level was already at the peak of immortal-foundation and he had already glimpsed the immortal king gate back then in the sacred academy.

In that case, it was only obvious that no one in this battlefield would be able to stand against Huang Shatian. Naturally, Qin Wentian didn’t include himself within.

If Qin Wentian had the same level of cultivation as Huang Shatian, he would be the same as well, displaying his strength wherever he was. Nobody would dare to antagonize him. If he had the same level of cultivation as Huang Shatian, he was completely confident in being able to kill Huang Shatian. However, in reality, he was only at the seventh-level, and he comprehended the trace of immortal-king might later than Huang Shatian. In the battle back then at the sacred academy, he only fought to a draw by making use of Huang Shatian’s carelessness as well as using his bloodline power which he had no way to fully control.

The battle today would definitely not be so easy. This is also the reason why Qin Wentian chose to maintain low-profile. He was very clear of what sort of person his opponent was.

"Truly arrogant." A voice suddenly rang out. An expert glanced at Huang Shatian as he spoke. This man was also an extraordinary character, an existence on the Devil Rankings. He believed in his own strength, and despite facing Huang Shatian who was seated in the elite sector, he believed he wouldn’t lose out too much. Hence, when he saw how domineering Huang Shatian was when coming over, he couldn’t help but to coldly speak out.

Huang Shatian glanced at him. He continued standing there with his hands clasped behind his back. The clear lines of his face indicated an arrogance belonging to a king. With a single glance, it was like he was staring at an ant. Just a glance was sufficient to cause that devil cultivator to feel humiliation.

Huang Shatian was too outstanding, a single glance was able to cause people to feel the pride within him. The pride of supremacy, standing loftily high up in the air. He was like the dragon soaring through the skies while others were like worms crawling upon the ground.

"How impudent." The devil cultivator coldly spoke when he saw Huang Shatian’s gaze.

"Scram. Show yourself the way out." Huang Shatian spoke in a cold voice, exhibiting his tyranny.

"Who do you think you are?" That devil cultivator sneered.

"Huang Shatian." Huang Shatian spoke in arrogance. "If I act, you will die for sure."

"I’ve never met anyone as brazen as you." Devil might gushed forth from that devil cultivator, violent to the extreme. He stepped out, dashing straight at Huang Shatian. He roared in anger as a fearsome ox phantom manifested. With a single leap, he mounted the devil ox as he rode forwards with an aura that seemed as though it would be able to shatter everything.

Huang Shatian relaxed his arms, putting them down. The light behind him grew even more resplendent as the fluctuations of spatial energy grew more intense, as though wanting to replace this entire space.

His body stood in a space belonging to himself. That was the law domain he comprehended.

"KILL!" That devil cultivator howled in rage as a powerful wave of law energy radiated from him. He who was riding the devil ox, rushed towards Huang Shatian but at this very instant, boundless streams of spatial energy seemed to enveloped him. The law domains of these two were clashing against each other.

At the next instant, in the spatial light screen behind Huang Shatian, countless weapons burst forth like millions of arrows, piercing through everything. The devil ox was instantly penetrated, trapped by the streams of spatial energy.

Huang Shatian then turned his gaze to the devil cultivator. At this instant, the devil cultivator discovered that no matter what he did, he had no way to take another step closer to Huang Shatian. His attacking power had no way to break the spatial law domain of Huang Shatian.

"You are just an insect. Since you want death so much, I will grant it to you." Huang Shatian’s eyes flashed. As the sound of his voice faded, a countless number of divine weapons erupted forth with indomitable might towards his target. The expression of that devil cultivator drastically changed, he wanted to take out his weapon but Huang Shatian’s attacks were too fast, borrowing the power of space, instantly penetrating him. He was already in Huang Shatian’s domain. There was only death remaining for him.

"BOOM!" A thunderous boom rang out as that devil cultivator was slain.

"How powerful." The gazes of the crowd froze, staring at Huang Shatian. Such strength was truly terrifying.

No matter what, that devil cultivator was a powerful existence on the Devil Rankings. Yet, he couldn’t even last a single strike against this man? How strong would this man be if he erupted forth with all his strength?

The spectators outside felt their hearts stirring with excitement. The Blackstone Devil King had a look of worry on his face, while the Old Xia Devil King was smiling widely.

This battlefield, he would be number one. No one would be able to obstruct him.

Burial Gorge. Only now did everyone understand the strength of those who could sit in the elite sector. It completely wasn’t due to luck. All of them had true, supreme combat prowess.

Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered. After Huang Shatian glimpsed the gate leading to the immortal king realm, he has now trodden further upon that path, growing stronger and stronger. In fact, it seemed that he even masted a brand-new innate technique.

"In this battlefield, I only have a single opponent." At this moment, Huang Shatian swept his gaze over everyone as he icily spoke. His words caused the crowd to stiffen. He only had one opponent here?

Was it Old Chai or Xia Yuan?

"Hence, it’s best for you guys to stop delaying. Battle has already started, waiting here doing nothing is simply wasting time." Huang Shatian spoke, causing the eyes of everyone to flash. This fellow was truly extremely brazen. However, the strength he displayed was the real deal, nobody had any rebuttal for him.

"Why don’t you fight too then?" At this moment, a voice rang out from the void. Nobody knew where the sound game from. Clearly, the speaker must have used an unique method to mask his presence.

"The battle between the strongest would naturally be left till the last. If the weaklings fought at the end of this event, what would the spectators admire?" Huang Shatian spoke in a tone as it should be by rights. Such spirit and arrogance made him treat everyone with contempt.

His fight, would be the strongest fight of all. If he participated the battle, there was no need for the spectators to view the other battles any longer.

Cold intents gushed forth from many devil cultivators, as they stared at this arrogant Huang Shatian. Other than him, no one else would dare to be so brazen.

Huang Shatian’s gaze slowly turned about. The dragon in the sky has no need to care about the thoughts of worms crawling on the ground. He couldn’t be bothered with the anger of others. He stared straight at Qin Wentian as he spoke, "That battle in the past, although both me and you were heavily injured, you didn’t die and that means that it was my defeat. After that, there were people who urged me to kill you but I didn’t do so. Unless I have strength absolute enough to crush you, I wouldn’t move against you. But now, I think that the time has come."

The eyes of everyone gleamed as they stared at Qin Wentian.

The powerful Huang Shatian, the sole opponent he was talking about, was actually none other than this man who sat right next to him in the elite sector.

In addition, this overwhelmingly powerful Huang Shatian had already fought once against this man before in the past, ending up in both being heavily injured by each other. In fact, he even admitted that that fight in the past, was his loss.

People with arrogance naturally would have something they took pride in. Being able to see one’s own failure, and not be afraid that others would know about it, that, was undoubtedly true pride in himself. He didn’t care what others thought about him. He only cared about his target.

"Your strength must have increased a lot. Seeing you are so confident, what is it due to exactly?" Qin Wentian glanced at Huang Shatian as he asked.

"You will know the reason why naturally. I only hope you won’t cause me to be too disappointed." Huang Shatian spoke. He then continued, "I won’t kill your comrades. Let the matter between us, be settled by us. What do you think of it?"

"Good." Qin Wentian nodded, directly accepting the terms. Huang Shatian then closed his eyes, disregarding the other things happening in their surroundings!
