"How powerful."
Great waves of shock arose in the hearts of everyone. Before this, they all felt the fearsomeness of Huang Shatian's divine weapons. But now in Huang Shatian's current state, they felt how terrifying the weapons are even more astutely.
The blinding light pierced their eyes, the spectators fought to open their eyes to watch on. The ancient sword in the supreme human emperor's hand radiated light to envelop this entire space. Huang Shatian's killing intent melded with the human emperor as his entire being was immersed in boundless emperor light.
Huang Shatian obtained the founding inheritance of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and including with it, was this supreme divine treasure, an emperor-ranked weapon.
His strength grew more and more, allowing him to unleash even more terrifying might from the weapon. If that emperor-ranked weapon was utilized by an immortal emperor, it truly had the power to split apart the sky and earth.
This weapon was the weapon of the founding emperor from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, yet the empire actually bestowed it to Huang Shatian, allowing him to use it. From this, one could very well imagine how high the hopes they had on Huang Shatian.
Clearly, as a genius of the absolute peak in the immortal realms, Huang Shatian was simply preeminent and his empire nurtured him with all they could, with hopes of grooming a future successor.
Several strands of devil sense from the Devil Mountain were spectating the battle. Even those supreme powerful devil experts felt their hearts trembling in shock, sighing at how strong that emperor-ranked divine weapon was.
Qin Wentian's countenance turned heavy. In the past during the battle in the Fallen Devil Region, Qin Wentian already knew that huang Shatian had an absolute supreme treasure on him. Today, this was the first time Huang Shatian decided to use it and truly, it was so strong that it could only be described by the words 'extremely shocking.'
"Bzz!" A bright light flashed as a treasured supreme cauldron appeared before Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian directly pressed his palm onto the cauldron, and at that instant, an immense demonic qi gushed forth, manifesting countless greater demons which surrounded the cauldron, their forms blocking the existence of the Sacred Luminance which was within the cauldron.
At the same time, Qin Wentian waved his hand, the demon sword expanded, radiating boundless light which enveloped this space. The shadow of a gigantic roc appeared, forming a screen of swords, blocking everything out, even the probing of devil senses. There was no way he would allow others to take a good look at this supreme treasure of his. He wouldn't allow anyone to discover that he had a source of Sacred Luminance with him.
Even if he unleashed the might of the supreme ancient cauldron during his fight with Huang Shatian, people might be able to see the existence of two powerful treasures. But there was no way he would expose all of his cards before the eyes of the Devil Mountain.
Those powerful characters on the Devil Mountain weren't people who were worthy of trust.
"Since you have lost to me in a fair battle, your side should admit defeat to the adjudication battle." Qin Wentian spoke to Huang Shatian.
"Even if I lost to you, it doesn't mean that my side will lose the adjudication battle. If there's a chance, I will use all methods I can to reverse the situation. If I can kill you, I won't hesitate, even if that means that I would feel regret after killing an opponent like you." Huang Shatian coldly spoke. The light from his emperor-ranked weapon engulfed this space. While the other combatants outside the screen of swords hurriedly retreated. The two of them understood that if they really unleashed the full power of their supreme treasure here, people on both sides would die without a doubt. This wasn't an ending which they wanted.
Not only did the experts from the two sides retreat, the nearby spectators around the foot of the mountain also retreated. Their hearts were pounding with shock. Clearly, they didn't expect such a great battle would break out between these people who descended from the Devil Mountain.
These two main characters, regardless of their strength or divine weapons, they were both so strong that it caused fear in the hearts of everyone.
"Demon sword, seal this place." Qin Wentian spoke. The demon sword expanded even more, transforming into a gigantic sword that was terrifying to the extreme. Sword might sprinkled outwards, enveloping this entire space. There seemed to be the shadow of a great roc within this screen of swords. The unceasing flowing light was extremely resplendent and beautiful.
"The immortal realms already have me, Huang Shatian. Why does a character like you, Qin Wentian, even need to exist?" Huang Shatian stared at Qin Wentian, the killing intent in his eyes extremely intense. He pointed his finger forward and in an instant, the sky changed colors as boundless human emperor weapons blotted out the sky, shooting towards Qin Wentian, wanting to engulf everything.
Huang Shatian's voice was filled with the tone of a sigh, as well as hints of disappointment. Naturally, an intense resolution could also be heard within. He wants Qin Wentian to die. Since the immortal realms already have a Huang Shatian, Qin Wentian was not needed. With Qin Wentian existing, where would there still be a place for him, Huang Shatian?
It was rumored that the sacred academy was a place that produced ancient emperors and there was a prophecy saying that an ancient emperor would be born in this era. If only one person could become the ancient emperor in the future, one must die between the two of them.
Qin Wentian's palm pressed down on his cauldron. At this instant, the shadows of eight supreme greater demons revolved around Qin Wentian. The size of each demon was over ten thousand feet, the entire space was engulfed by them. The crowd has already retreated to an extremely far away place, but when they lifted their heads, they could see a shocking sight which stole their breaths away - numerous gigantic demons as well as countless divine weapons.
The divine weapons shot out, intending on slaying the greater demons, tearing them apart. However Qin Wentian's palm blasted out again and the eight supreme greater demons transformed into a terrifying vortex which shot out, wanting to swallow all things in existence.
Even though their battlefield was already very huge, the scene of their fight was even much vaster than that. The terrifying gargantuan vortex replaced the entire sky, wanting to absorb Huang Shatian and his divine weapons into it.
Only to see Huang Shatian inclining his head, staring up in the air. His eyes were cold, he transformed into a human emperor and stretched out his hand, placing them on the sword. As he pulled out, a world-shaking might swept through the surroundings, causing heaven and earth to shake as space shattered. Every wisp of his aura was like a divine weapon themselves, all of them shot outwards, intent on annihilating everything.
That simple action was akin to millions of weapons attacking at the same time. A terrifying crack then appeared on that vortex, but it recovered swiftly. Countless silhouettes of demons spawned as they rushed towards Huang Shatian.
However right now, Huang Shatian was extraordinary calm. He knew what he was wielding in his hand. If he lost even with this supreme divine weapon, he could only die then.
A character like him, even in the face of such a huge battle, he was able to see through death calmly. What he pursued was the peak of the cultivation world. In this process, even if he was defeated miserably or even died, he wouldn't complain.
Qin Wentian stared at the shocking commotion. Back then when he killed devil kings, such a terrifying scene didn't even appear. The all-devouring vortex actually had cracks appearing on it unceasingly, filled with countless holes. A peak immortal-foundation expert naturally had no way to unleash the full power of this weapon, but even so, just a small portion of the power unleashed was already so terrifying to the extreme.
Huang Shatian was clad in layers of supreme emperor armor as he slashed out with the emperor sword. The vortex frenziedly cracked, the blow of his was infused with spatial energy and eventually managed to shatter that terrifying vortex.
Huang Shatian didn't hesitate and slashed out another strike. As this sword strike descended, everywhere in that space was filled with cracks. Qin Wentian stood in his cauldron, his body flowing with divine light as he activated his bloodline power, transforming into the descendant of a demon god. As he unleashed his strength, demonic dragons roared, Hundun swallowed the sky, great rocs tore apart everything, while divine elephants suppressed the void.
Countless attacks filled with boundless energies collided with each other in mid air, the aftershock creating a scene like an apocalypse.
"Since you were already defeated, even if you depend on the power of a supreme divine weapon, you would still lose if I do the same." Qin Wentian roared. After that, he actually sped forward with the treasured cauldron together. The eight supreme greater demons wrenched open their maws, the apocalyptic vortex seemed capable of devouring everything as it shot towards Huang Shatian.
Huang Shatian didn't say anything, he was the same as Qin Wentian. It was simply too exhausting to use such a powerful weapon. Even if he perfectly complemented that weapon, unless he steps into the immortal emperor realm, it was impossible to fully control it. What he could do was simply to send his energy in to activate a small portion of might within the divine weapon. This was an ironclad rule of cultivation. All divine weapons have to be activated by energy from their respective cultivators.
Huang Shatian's law energy frenziedly infused his supreme emperor sword. Space-attribute energy, sword-attribute energy, metal-attribute energy, all of these were infused into the sword completely.
Another slash descended through the air. This sword strike didn't aim for that vortex, didn't kill those greater demons. Instead, this sword strike flew straight towards Qin Wentian who was inside the treasured cauldron. He wanted to kill Qin Wentian.
As long as Qin Wentian died, the person controlling the supreme treasure would vanish, and at that point of time, no matter how strong a treasure is, it would only be a useless object.
"BOOM!" Another loud noise rang out, the treasured cauldron manifested countless runes, revolving with extreme speed while unleashing a powerful attack to block that ancient emperor sword. The sky grew darker and darker, that vortex grew increasingly stronger, even engulfing the emperor sword of Huang Shatian, wanting to make it sink so deep that Huang Shatian can no longer extricate it, before it destroyed the sword.
Staring at Qin Wentian who was in the cauldron whose defenses were so strong that his strongest attack couldn't penetrate through, he then glanced once again at that vortex of destruction as Huang Shatian suddenly sighed.
This sigh seemed to penetrate through space and time. He, Huang Shatian, was already an extremely outstanding individual during his youth. Everyone doted on him and he strove unremittingly for self-improvement, and had never been inferior to those of the same generation before. He was the one with the highest potential in the entire younger generation of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.
He used to be invincible and was extremely famous in the immortal realms. Even in the sacred academy, he was as radiant and glorious as ever.
All this lasted until the day where he met Qin Wentian.
He failed to kill Qin Wentian in their first battle, that was Huang Shatian's greatest mistake. During the first battle, Huang Shatian had the highest probability of destroying Qin Wentian, but sadly, he was careless during that and lost that opportunity. After that first battle, he actually could no longer kill Qin Wentian.
Until today, he was sorely defeated.
Since there already was a Huang Shatian in the immortal realms, why is there still a need for a Qin Wentian? Even now, his heart was filled with boundless reluctance!
