Chapter 1422: Demongod Palace

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed sharply as he proceeded forward. Up ahead was another space. He had already reached the end of this particular ancient path and was getting closer and closer to the peak of the Demongod Mountain.

Other than Qin Wentian, there were some supremely powerful demons of the royal-factions who had already entered the space ahead. For example, an expert among the royal-faction of the Phoeroc race, a powerful golden sun roc, and quite a number of human cultivators. For humans who could survive until this point, there was no need to doubt their strength.

Among them, most were at the immortal king realm, and only a minority were at the immortal-emperor realm. These people were all peak existences of the various peak powers, but Qin Wentian wasn’t acquainted with the vast majority of them. After all, he could only be considered a junior when compared to these people and he was a rising star who rose recently. With regards to these immortal kings, he wasn’t familiar at all. Most probably, only those who entered the immortal-king level sacred academy would know of them. This group of immortal kings might be existences similar to him and Huang Shatian, people who could summon the wind and rain in the sacred academy.

However, there were also some familiar silhouettes that Qin Wentian recognized. For example, Beiming Youhuang and Pei Qing. These two were record-holders for the title of being the youngest immortal emperor in history, both possessing supreme talent. Pei Qing might be extremely arrogant, but there was no need to doubt his potential. Before this, Qin Wentian did spare a few glances at Pei Qing when he was fighting against the demon spirits. Pei Qing was really very strong. And as for Beiming Youhuang, she was the current record holder of the youngest immortal emperor in history, she was naturally extraordinary.

Other than this, there were also the maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan and a few immortal emperors among them that had reached this step as well. Not all the immortal emperors who came here manage to succeed. For those who reached this step, they are undoubtedly immortal emperors with the highest combat prowess as well as talent. After all, their opponents were fearsome emperor-ranked demon spirits of the royal-factions, they could only be here if they managed to defeat their opponents.

“Little Rascal.” Qin Wentian glanced over. Little Rascal had also managed to pass the trial. Beside him, that powerful demon-emperor wasn’t there. Although the nine-headed emperor was powerful, he couldn’t defeat an emperor of his race that was of the royal-faction.

Purgatory was still in combat. She was fighting against an immensely strong vermillion bird, madly clashing with all her might. Purgatory could be considered a variation-type vermillion bird beast. She was birthed from soul-form and had been existing within Qin Wentian’s bloodstream being nurtured for a period of time. This battle was very difficult for her.

“Ignition? Is that her innate ability?” Qin Wentian glanced at the battlefield. Purgatory’s body was combusted in flames, as her surroundings burned. Her combat prowess grew stronger and stronger and the battle situation started to become more advantageous for her. Finally, she obtained victory and defeated her opponent.

Qin Wentian was a little puzzled. When did Purgatory awaken her innate ability? Also, why does her ability seemed to resemble his bloodline power? However, this wasn’t the moment to ask such questions. He continued walking forward, and when he encountered the expert from the Sacred Sun Sect, he sneered. This expert actually failed to pass the trial. His aura was weak and he was clearly injured, narrowly avoided dying when he fought the demon spirits earlier.

His eyes flashed and when he saw Qin Wentian who was in the form of a roc walking over, his eyes gleamed with coldness.

“Trash.” Qin Wentian’s eyes turned sharp, flaring with disdain and mockery.

“How dare you.” The expert from the Sacred Sun Sect didn’t expect that this ordinary roc, who was insulted by him earlier, actually daring to call him trash now and view him with disdain.

“Do you think you have the qualifications to speak with me in this manner? If there’s an opportunity to do so, I will kill you for sure.” Qin Wentian’s voice was low and hoarse, filled with killing intent. Although he had no real relationship with the old roc king who died, it was a fact that the old roc had treated him kindly and it was a person from the Sacred Sun Sect who actually sneak attacked, killing the old roc king at the end. Qin Wentian had to avenge this no matter what.

“Kill him for me.” That expert from the Sacred Sun Sect spoke to one of his fellow members who passed the trial. The eyes of that person flashed with fire, revealing killing intent. Qin Wentian hurriedly stepped back, retreating with the speed of lightning.

“King, save me!” Qin Wentian’s body flashed as he hid behind a golden-winged great roc. This was an extremely powerful golden-winged roc who had passed the trial. The golden-winged roc coldly glanced at that expert from the Sacred Sun Sect, causing the human expert to have a heavy expression on his face. That human expert coldly spoke to Qin Wentian, “Daring to insult one of my comrades yet you only know how to hide behind someone?”

“My cultivation base is temporarily weaker than yours or I would have snuffed your lives out with a flick of my wrist. With a king of my roc race here, do you dare to fight?” Qin Wentian hid behind the golden-winged roc and spoke. Although his performance in the trial was extraordinary, he understood how to be low-profile when it was needed. After all, he was still too weak. Many human experts and demons here could easily kill him.

“Hmph.” That expert from the Sacred Sun Sect had a cold look on his face. The golden-winged roc icily stared at Qin Wentian, “Your performance in the trial earlier wasn’t bad. But although you are a mutated roc, you are still far from my match. You are nothing but an insignificant being.”

“Understood.” Qin Wentian nodded humbly, showing respect. That golden-winged roc arrogantly nodded, like he was very satisfied with Qin Wentian’s attitude.

“Although this roc became a variant-type, he is after all, just an ordinary great roc, he doesn’t have the bearing of a king.” Many greater demons calmly spoke as they glanced at Qin Wentian.

Little Rascal watched everything with interest, with a twinkle in his eyes. This fellow was just too shameless. These humans and demons looked down on him, but they would surely soon pay a price for their actions.

“Let’s go.” That golden-winged roc spoke. Leading the way, many experts followed after. They have already reached the end of the ancient path and the way to the peak appeared before their eyes.

Would they soon arrive at the peak of the Demongod Mountain?

At this moment, many greater demons had expressions of excitement on their faces while a look of pondering could be seen on the faces of the humans. This was the legendary ground of the Desolate Mountain Range, littered with bouts of good fortune everywhere. Ever since they entered, treasures that could evolve demons could be found all around. Most probably, there should be a mystical treasure which could awaken the powerful greater demons of the royal-factions at the peak of the mountain.

And now, they would soon arrive at the very peak. What would be there exactly?

Naturally, for some of the humans proficient in demonic arts and techniques, they too hoped that they would be able to gain some benefits here. To them, this could be considered a tempering exercise.

And as time passed by, they finally saw an incomparably imposing palace before their eyes. This palace was so tall that it’s top touched the clouds and it seemed to be a place where divinities resided. Could a demon god really exist here?

At this instant, reverence sprang up in the hearts of many demons. This was the endpoint of the number one legendary place of their Desolate Mountain Range, the Demongod Palace that exists at the peak of the god mountain.

The majestic Demongod Palace had vivid and lifelike murals of greater demons from various races engraved on it. There actually seemed to be life within them. A moment later, the drawings within the murals actually came to life as they walked out, causing every expert here to freeze.

“This...”

Their hearts pounded with shock. After that, a bright light shone, cascaded down from the sky. The law energy here no longer existed, and not only that, all the experts felt their strength being suppressed as the light descended onto them.

“My cultivation?” At this moment, the eyes of a demon emperor narrowed as he exclaimed.

“What’s going on?” An immortal emperor’s eyes flashed as his cultivation base was restricted.

The immortal king realm. Their strength was actually restricted to the immortal king level, stuck at the initial-stage.

The light contained a cultivation restrictive properties, and wherever it landed, the cultivation bases of all were suppressed with no exceptions. Now, all the greater demons and humans here, only had the strength of an initial-stage demon or immortal king.

The murals engraved on the palace continued to produce fearsome demons. Their auras were also restricted to the initial-stage of the demon king realm but their numbers were terrifying. These monsters walked towards them, and among them, there were several royal-blooded demons from the various races.

This time around, the opponents they faced were no longer a singular entity, but rather, a group of demons.

The door of the palace was open but nobody dared to move recklessly. With so many royal greater demons here at the same level as them, they might be killed if they tried anything.

“God mountain, seems like it’s a trial to select the most elite out of all the greater demons.” A greater demon of the Desolate Mountain Range sighed. Undoubtedly, the one who passed this test would definitely become the pinnacle existence in the Desolate Mountain Range and inherit the mantle of the demon god, becoming a demon god that only existed in the legends.

“They are coming.” Trepidation could be seen in the eyes of everyone. The monsters launched their attacks and these monsters that were produced from the murals, were all at a level equivalent to a saint beast, with many of royal blood among them.

“King, lead us to kill these monsters!” Qin Wentian stood behind the golden-winged roc and a powerful phoeroc as he spoke. The suppression of cultivation base was actually a good thing for him. However, at such a moment, it would be the best to remain low-profile and endure further until he finds an opportunity to enter the Demongod Palace.

The Phoeroc race’s experts and the golden-winged roc stepped out, leading the way. The eyes of the golden-winged roc gleamed with sharpness, manifesting a windstorm that gusted forward, aiming for the monsters.

A royal phoeroc screeched, unleashing a terrifying attack which caused fearsome golden flames which blasted forth, capable of incinerating all existences.

As for the golden sun crows, they produced rays of sunlight that interweaved together, as they too, began slaughtering the monsters.

The human experts all unleashed inconceivably powerful techniques. Although their cultivation bases were suppressed, everyone who could reach here was most definitely an extraordinary existence. Experts from the Sacred Sun Sect called upon the power of the sun, experts from the Beast God Sect used submission techniques to subdue some of the monsters, and experts from the Hundred Refinements Sect instantly refined some of the enemies.

As for the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, although her cultivation base was suppressed, she was still incredibly magnificent. A dazzling light shone from her and the projection of a phoenix burning with flames appeared behind her. She was like an unexcelled empress of the world.

Beiming Youhuang was exceptionally beautiful, radiating an icy qi which caused those around her to feel extremely cold. The monsters before her all froze into ice statues directly.

Qin Wentian stood at the back, watching everything as his eyes gleamed with a terrifying light.
