Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1282: Devil Army

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

If it wasn't for the fact that he had no other choice, Qin Wentian wouldn't come here to see the devil emperor and use the Sacred Luminance as a source of temptation. He was very clear on how dangerous this was. If the Vast Sky Devil Emperor wasn't interested in the Sacred Luminance or didn't want to waste time on him, Qin Wentian would be in an extremely dangerous position.

However, Huang Shatian already obtained the help of the Fallen Devil Island. If he doesn't seek the help of another devil emperor, they would already have lost half the battle.

Right now, the Vast Sky Devil Emperor was contemplating Qin Wentian. That pressure was still present and although it was no longer as tyrannical, it was heavy enough to make Qin Wentian sweat, extremely hard to endure. A devil-foundation expert talking terms with a devil emperor was clearly an impulsive action.

"Is it true that the Sacred Luminance allowed you to establish a perfect saint-grade immortal-foundation? Since you used the Sacred Luminance before, how effective do you think it would be on emperor-level characters?" The devil emperor calmly asked. Qin Wentian didn't dare to lie.

The Vast Sky Devil Emperor believed that the Sacred Luminance would definitely exist in some extraordinary place and it was impossible to take it away. Hence, he didn't suspect the fact that Qin Wentian might have a source of Sacred Luminance on him.

"I don't dare to say that it's entirely due to that but when I barged into the secret realm, I was there with a few of my good friends. Right now, the weakest among their immortal-foundations is at the fifth-tier king-grade level. Also, their cultivation speed is extremely fast. Back then all our cultivation bases were different but the effect of the Sacred Luminance was the same for all. As for if it's useful to emperor-level experts, junior dares not say anything without sufficient evidence." Qin Wentian honestly replied.

The Vast Sky Devil Emperor pondered for a moment. His daughter Fang Xueqing was staring at Qin Wentian. This Sacred Luminance would be of utmost use to her, able to provide the assistance needed to push her into the devil-king realm.

However, she wouldn't open her mouth to request for anything.

The Vast Sky Devil Emperor cast a glance at Fang Xueqing before speaking, "You should have an extraordinary identity in the immortal realms. If you are from an immortal sect, how can I be sure that you wouldn't play any tricks?"

This place was the Myriad Devil Islands, and currently within his territory hence, Qin Wentian naturally wouldn't dare to try anything funny. But if they reached the immortal realms, he wouldn't have any control over Qin Wentian.

"Junior and senior devil emperor doesn't have any conflict of interest. If senior is willing to aid junior is this, how would I try any tricks to fool senior? In addition, how would I dare to lie to a character like senior? Even if I have immortal emperors behind my back, I don't want to live a life where I'm filled with unease everyday, fearful for your revenge." Qin Wentian spoke.

"When do you want to move?" The devil emperor suddenly asked. Qin Wentian's eyes flashed, "The sooner or better, let me wait for my friends to arrive. Once they are here, we can leave immediately.

"I admire your guts. Go bring your friends then." The devil emperor waved his hands. Qin Wentian bowed to the devil emperor and smiled, "Many thanks for senior's assistance."

As he spoke, Qin Wentian directly turned and left. Things being able to be so smooth did indeed cause Qin Wentian to feel joy. However, it was most probably because of the Sacred Luminance's attraction. Right now his cultivation base was still weak. When he stepped into the immortal-king realm, he would make good use of the Sacred Luminance.

"Father, you agreed to him so easily?" Fang Xueqing asked.

"Since we really want the Sacred Luminance, there's no need for us to play any tricks on our side or we may end up empty-handed in the future. It's better for things to be more simple." The Vast Sky Devil Emperor spoke. "If he really dares to try anything funny, even if there are immortal emperors behind him, I will take his life for sure."

"Father is right. I will send him out then." Fang Xueqing left and followed after Qin Wentian.,

After Qin Wentian left this place, he instantly returned, and brought Qi Da and the rest to the devil palace with haste. At the same time, the Vast Sky Devil Emperor summoned his subordinates and when Qin Wentian returned to the palace again, a fearsome great army was before his eyes.

"Let's move out. My emperor palace has a teleportation array leading to the space around the Fallen Devil Region, we can reach there very soon." The Vast Sky Devil Emperor spoke. Qin Wentian nodded, Qi Da and the rest felt shock in their hearts. This fellow Qin Wentian...What methods did he use exactly? He actually managed to convince a devil emperor to activate his army for him?

Qin Wentian was truly a legend.

"Right." Qin Wentian nodded, prepared to move out.

And at this moment, on the Fallen Devil Island, the devil emperor's birthday celebration had already ended. Many devil kings have all left, returning to their respective islands.

Naturally, the promise the devil emperor made to Huang Shatian, has already been accomplished. He gave the order to the different devil kings, telling them to search for the people Huang Shatian wanted to find. Once there was news, the devil kings would instantly inform the Fallen Devil Island.

As for the death of the three other devil kings, the people discussing them grew fewer and fewer. That young man who dared to reject the reward of the devil emperor on his birthday celebration was also gradually forgotten by people. He would only occasionally be brought up when talk of the celebration banquet surfaced.

However even today, everyone was still speculating at how the three great devil kings died exactly.

That arrogant young man, could it be he really could kill the three devil kings?

Nobody knew what happened exactly but no matter what happened, things would gradually lessen in intensity with the flow of time. The devil emperor wouldn't feel any ripples because of the death of a few mere devil kings. He didn't regret the decision he made at the banquet. To him, that was only a minor matter.

And although the Old Xia Devil King was enraged, his anger quickly calmed. He has merely lost a subordinate devil king but the benefits Huang Shatian had given him was much more valuable in comparison. What a pity that he didn't manage to capture Qin Wentian, or he would have gained more supreme treasures.

During these few days, on one of the rare breaks the devil emperor took, the Old Xia Devil King was currently playing chess with the Fallen Devil Emperor as they drank tea. With such an old friend, the Old Xia Devil King would naturally spend some time to fortify their relationship during the times where the devil emperor took breaks, in case their relationship ever grew estranged.

After all for characters on the emperor-level, every seclusion they took might last for an extremely long period of time.

Right now in the emperor palace, the devil emperor and Old Xia were chatting as they played, with many devil kings around them. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Old Xia, very soon I may have to leave for a period of time." The Fallen Devil Emperor placed his chess piece down and spoke to the Old Xia Devil King.

"Are you going to roam the Myriad Devil Islands again? I really envy you, able to roam into places where I'm not qualified to be." Old Xia Devil King shook his head and smiled.

"Envy?" The devil emperor laughed. "At my current level, it's harder than ascending the heavens if I wish to advance a single step. I can only go and roam those unknown grounds, putting my life at stake, hoping for a ray of insight to advance further."

"Even if you don't improve, you are already the overlord of a region." The Old Xia Devil King consoled.

"You should know that in this world, if you don't advance it would only mean that you would be left behind, surpassed by others. In addition, us lords of a region aren't as free as you imagine. Only powers around the Myriad Devil Sovereign can be considered those truly at the peak. For us, sometimes if we are not careful, we may enter a situation where there is no hope of any reprieve." The devil emperor spoke in a light voice.

"That's right, at different levels, the things we see are naturally different. Right now, I only hope to reach your level as soon as possible. Yet as for you, you are already thinking of advancing further. I wonder if there's and endpoint to cultivation." Old Xia Devil King inclined his head and stared at the heavens.

"Endpoint?" The devil emperor pointed his hands at the heavens, "How could there be an endpoint to the heavens?"

The voice of the Fallen Devil Emperor contained a sigh. Even as a devil emperor, he had no idea if there were any limits to cultivation or not. The stronger he grew, the weaker he found himself. Before low-level experts, he might seem to be lofty and immeasurably deep. But as he grew stronger, his perspective would change, and the world in his vision would naturally expand as well.

"Yeah, the countless constellations, the nine heavenly astral rivers. Where is an endpoint, if there is any?" Old Xia Devil King sighed as well. Emperor-ranked characters were able to directly borrow the strength of their constellations, merging as one with them. However, ultimately they were still merely borrowing the strength of the constellations, it wasn't truly theirs.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang out. A devil king appeared not far away and bowed, "Your Majesty, there's strange news from the boundary. There are many experts entering our island."

"Strange news?" The Fallen Devil Emperor shook his head. "With me on the island, what could possibly happen?"

"That's true, your Majesty." The devil king nodded, thinking that the devil emperor was right. Since he was here, what else could happen?

At the boundary of the Fallen Devil Island, countless people stared at the skies as their bodies trembled madly. An expression of disbelief could be seen in their eyes. Didn't the celebration end already? Where did all these powerful experts come from?

Also, even if it was the birthday celebration of the Fallen Devil Island, such a strong external army shouldn't appear, right?

In the air, a huge devil army robed in black could be seen, the waves of might they exuded swept over everything, enveloping this region. The might exuded was so powerful that demonic beasts prostrated themselves and cultivators all felt a stifling pressure strong enough to crush everything.

"Isn't that young man the same person who rejected the reward?" Someone saw the silhouette of Qin Wentian. The eyes of that person froze there, as though he couldn't believe what he saw.

"How can this be? That young man was being hunted down by three devil kings, yet he actually returned and brought such a powerful army here? Could it be that there's a very terrifying expert supporting him from behind?" Some of the experts in the surroundings who had attended the banquet began to speculate in shock.

However in just a moment, this entire army started to advance forward imperiously, not hiding the fact that they were here. News naturally travelled back to the emperor palace but the Fallen Devil Emperor merely replied with a single sentence, 'With me on the island, what else could possibly happen?'

Since that was the case, who would still dare to disturb him?

Since the devil emperor was around, no matter what would happen, it would only be a minor issue!
