Chapter 1318: Unexpected Result

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The deadline of the ten years neared. At the entrance of the Myriad Devil Island, at the boundary of the immortal realms, many experts including immortal emperors were all gathered there.

This adjudication battle with a timeline of ten years had erupted with both Qin Wentian and Huang Shatian at the center. In truth, things weren’t so simple, there were implications behind this, with something to do with the conflict among the peak powers of the immortal realms.

The Skymist Immortal Empire, Evergreen Immortal Empire, Violet Emperor, Matriarch Ji, Paragon Sword Sect, Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Sky Demon Palace, Taihua Immortal Dynasty, Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, White Tiger Race, Southern Phoenix Clan, Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect...Which of these powers didn’t have an immortal emperor backing them? They were all hegemons of their respective areas and some even had peak-level emperors.

Ten years was simply too short a time to immortal emperors, something which would pass in the blink of an eye. During these ten years, many conflicts erupted. Experts of both alliances didn’t allow immortal kings to enter the devil gate, even for immortal kings no one was acquainted with. They wanted to prevent stirring the situation too much, hence, everyone was in a state akin to a lit fuse, prior to an explosion, guarding the entrance with swords and daggers drawn.

Now, the deadline of ten years was almost up.

Today, even those juniors had arrived. For example, Qing`er. She was here as well, standing at the side of her father.

Because her cultivation base was lower, although she did came by back then to send Qin Wentian off, she didn’t enter the Myriad Devil Islands. For those who entered as a participant, almost all of them had cultivation bases at the peak of the immortal-foundation realm with a majority of them comprehending a trace of immortal king might.

"Time passed by so fast. Evergreen, after some time later, your beloved daughter and niece Glaze, will marry into my Skymist Immortal Empire. At that time, we would both be in-laws and we can sit about leisurely to drink tea and chat." The Skymist Immortal Empire laughed loudly. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor couldn’t even bother to glance over, he directly ignored the Skymist Immortal Empire.

"Ten years in the Myriad Devil Islands, I wonder how much Shatian has improved, he must now be infinitesimally close to the immortal-king realm." An immortal emperor of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire laughed, possessing absolute confidence in Huang Shatian. A true genius would survive even in times of extreme danger. Hence, even if Huang Shatian and the others entered the Myriad Devil Islands, all of them still believed that this would be nothing more than an opportunity for Huang Shatian.

This training field would enable Huang Shatian to return in an even more domineering manner.

Time flowed by and more and more experts gathered here. Even Jun Mengchen was here to welcome Qin Wentian. During these ten years, he roamed many places in the immortal realms and had improved greatly. But even so, he didn’t forget this ten-year appointment of his senior apprentice brother.

The other side of the devil gate was the Myriad Devil Islands.

Right now on the other side near the entrance, there was quite a number of devil cultivators clad in armor patrolling about with long spears in their hands. At the point where the spear tip connected with the spear shaft, there was actually a little mirror which emitted a dazzling light. These devil cultivators seemed to be the guards responsible for protecting the devil gate entrance.

At this very moment, a surge of vast devil might gush forth from afar. Not long after, an entire army exuding a terrifying aura could be seen coming over. The guards couldn’t help but to furrow their brows. Their devil spears involuntarily trembled lightly in their hands as they stared at these incoming experts.

This group of people was none other than Qin Wentian and the others. After coming here, Qin Wentian glanced about but didn’t discover anyone from Huang Shatian’s alliance.

Naturally, Huang Shatian’s group couldn’t have exited the devil gate. Back then, the agreement between the immortal emperors was already set clearly. If there was anyone who dares to return early, all of them would be killed without mercy.

"Surround them." At this moment, Bai Qing suddenly gave a solemn command. A moment later, experts from the judiciary hall moved forward and circled the guards. The guards couldn’t help but to feel nervous as they glanced at these experts with fear and trepidation.

Qin Wentian glanced at Bai Qing, with a puzzled look on his face.

"There are no guards at the devil gate sent here by the Myriad Devil Islands. The movements here can clearly be seen from the Devil Mountain." Bai Qing explained in a low voice. Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed, gleaming with a sudden coldness as he stared at these so-called guards. From what Bai Qing had said, it was clear that these people were masquerading as guards, sent here to monitor the movements here.

"Seniors, us juniors will leave here immediately." Those people trembled with fear.

"Who asked you all to come here?" Bai Qing stepped forward and asked with a cold voice.

"We came here of our own volition, wanting to deceive others and earn some benefits."

"Execute him." Bai Qing commanded.

"Yes, Priestess." An expert of the judiciary hall instantly launched an attack, causing great fear in the hearts of those fake guards. The remaining instantly knelt down and begged, "Mercy please, someone commanded us to be stationed here, he also said that there’s no need for us to do anything else."

The Fallen Devil Emperor waved his hand as a palm imprint materialized, and clutched the person who spoke, taking away his devil spear.

A cracking sound rang out as the spear shattered. The mirror-like thing connecting the spear tip and shaft floated in the air, capturing this scene perfectly.

"This is a treasure whose main purpose is for surveillance. One can observe things from extremely far away." The Vast Sky Devil Emperor spoke.

"Huang Shatian." Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with coldness. Qin Wentian had long made his preparations, receiving the aid of the Vast Sky Devil Emperor, Fallen Devil Emperor and even Bai Qing. The ending was already set but Huang Shatian and his group truly had a few other solutions. They left the devil mountain earlier and actually arranged for people to be stationed at the entrance to monitor Qin Wentian’s group movements and situation.

"Before this, did anyone fight here?" Qin Wentian asked.

The countenances of those fake guards flickered. One of them then replied, "No."

Light from the buddhic art of truth flickered in Qin Wentian’s eyes, seeing past all lies and illusions. He could feel that this person was lying. His expression turned even colder. If a battle was fought here before, it means that people from his alliance had already arrived and was ambushed by Huang Shatian’s group.

"Execute him as well." Qin Wentian coldly spoke.

"KILL!" The head of the person who replied earlier toppled to the ground. The other fake guards all had pale expressions. They didn’t expect that by accepting the rewards to do this mission, they would offend such a terrifying enemy and even die here. No wonder the reward given was so luxurious.

The light of judgement cascaded on the others as well as all those fake guards were killed instantly. Qin Wentian’s expression was like ice. His movements were already known by Huang Shatian and even the devil sense of the two devil emperors couldn’t find Huang Shatian’s group. Clearly, Huang Shatian intentionally wanted to do this, and his group must now be at an extremely distance place. They wouldn’t appear until after Qin Wentian’s group left.

Since this was the case, Qin Wentian might have missed another chance to slaughter them completely.

"That sinister fellow." An expert beside Qin Wentian coldly spoke.

"However, what’s fortunate is that there’s no more suspense for this adjudication battle." Duan Qingshan spoke. Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly. Although it was a pity that he wasn’t able to kill Huang Shatian and his group. Their purpose for coming here to the Myriad Devil Islands was ultimately for the sake of the adjudication battle.

If they won the battle, they would have achieved their purpose. However, it was truly unfortunate for those experts who died here.

"Now, what’s left to do is wait for the deadline to expire." Qin Wentian calmly stated. The group of them stationed here as time slowly flowed by. By right, there should have been a final fight here but at the very end, there was no fight at all.

The battle at the foot of the Devil Mountain back then seemed to have already decided what the ending would be.

Right now, the area near the devil gate was extremely quiet. With the judiciary army here, the experts of the Myriad Devil Islands didn’t dare to head out at all. Nobody knew why the army was stationed there but nobody dared to ask why.

As the deadline approaches, the atmosphere now was unexpectedly quiet and when the last day finally arrived, everyone stared at Qin Wentian, waiting for his instructions.

"Let’s wait three more months for the grace period of three months to be up. Maybe there would still be people from our alliance heading over. Also, we need to prevent Huang Shatian’s group from exiting during these three months or we might have wasted all our previous efforts." Qin Wentian spoke as everyone agreed.

Hence, they continued to quietly wait. And as expected, during this period of time, more and more experts of their alliance appeared, all of them extremely shocked when they saw the devil experts with Qin Wentian.

Huang Shatian and the others didn’t appear at all. When the two great devil emperors and judiciary army appeared, Huang Shatian already understood that the ajudiciation battle was concluded, there was no hope for their side to obtain victory.

On the other side of the devil gate, many immortal emperors were there. They were all waiting with anticipation. The people of the Skymist Alliance were filled to the brim with confidence.

However as time flowed by, the deadline of ten years was reached. For the extra period of three months, the deadline was gradually nearing as well but no one came out from the devil gate at all. This couldn’t help but cause both sides to feel somewhat nervous.

Could it be that the juniors of both sides were mutually defeated and none of them could exit the Myriad Devil Islands on time?

Such a situation should be impossible, at the very least, there would still be a few survivors. But as the deadline for the additional three months grew closer, they suddenly felt that their conjecture might be possible after all.

If that really was the case, which side would be the victor for the adjudication battle?

Today was the final day. If there was still no one who came out, it means that there was no ending for the adjudication battle.

At this moment, everyone had their eyes fixed on the devil gate, waiting nervously with bated breath. Even if one person came out, it was still sufficient to declare victory for his side.

Nervous, worry and anticipation.

But at this very moment, a slight fluctuation could be felt in the air. An instant later, countless gazes all turned to the devil gate.

The spatial fluctuations grew more and more intense. Everyone was holding their breath. even for the extremely confident Skymist Alliance, all of them couldn’t help but to feel nervous at this moment.

This majestic and incomparably vast devil gate started shuddering and a moment later, numerous figures appeared, stepping out from the void, directly walking over towards one direction!
