Chapter 1417: Transforming into a Roc to enter the Demongod Mountain
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The god mountain was incomparably vast, it was so large that one couldn’t possibly imagine it. The droves of demonic beasts all rushed into it, as well as experts from the immortal realms arriving one after another. But even so, before the countless demons, the humans of the immortal realms all seemed so little in comparison.
Qin Wentian continued on his way, moving towards the ancient peak that was radiating all the golden light, wanting to see if there were any secrets here. On the journey there, their group witnessed many shocking things. The evolutions of demonic creatures took a single day to complete. Naturally, compared to the number of demons who successfully evolved, the number who died were simply astronomical. The grounds within the Demongod Mountain were layered with corpses.
Qin Wentian and his group naturally also slew many demonic beasts who went to find trouble for them.
“Our speed is too slow.” After several months, Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice as he stared in the distance. Everywhere they passed by had already been swept clean by the demons. There were simply too many demons here. And when they were at Skybreak City, the demons of the Desolate Mountains had already been prepared for this and there were even demon emperors leading them. Naturally, all rare treasures to be found, have already been obtained by them.
“The demons of the Desolate Mountains are countless in number, and there are many from the royal factions that are extremely powerful. We just have to see how fast the speed of the Phoeroc race is and we would understand how terrifying they are. We will definitely lose if we compete with them in speed.” Evergreen Longhao shook his head. “Also, we didn’t anticipate the god mountain to be this vast. We won’t be able to reach the end of it.”
“There seems to be some buildings up ahead.” At this moment, a peak-stage immortal king from the Battle Saint Tribe spoke. The eyes of Qin Wentian’s group flickered, staring toward the distance. They increased their speed while their hearts pounded. Those ahead weren’t buildings but were demon cities built within the mountains which extended endlessly. These demon cities were built around the foot of the Demongod Mountain.
“Demon city, there’s actually a city here filled with countless demons.” Qin Wentian’s group walk towards the gate and stared ahead. This city was extremely old, radiating an ancient feeling. Demonic qi could be felt within and the demonic qi should be left behind by the demons of the Desolate Mountains who came through here earlier.
“We are getting closer and closer to the secret of the god mountain. Those powerful demon emperors and immortal emperors most probably have already started to ascend the mountain.” Nanfeng Mingyue spoke.
“Our immortal senses are restricted, it’s impossible for us to sense things from afar. We can only use our vision and try to spot the mysteries here.”
“However, it also saved us from some trouble.” Qin Wentian spoke. If immortal senses weren’t restricted, many people would definitely lock on to their position and try to kill them. Without immortal senses, it was not so easy to encounter another group in this boundlessly vast mountain range.
“Let’s go.” Upon entering the demon city, they discovered that this city was occupied by powerful immortal kings who could be seen everywhere. These characters were equivalent to immortal kings of the immortal realms.
Demon kings were the same as immortal kings, it’s very hard to reach that level. However, given how vast the Desolate Mountains are, and with the appearance of the Demongod Mountain, the number of demons here was naturally extremely shocking. Just at the king realm, it was unknown how many demons were there.
After entering the city, they continued heading towards the depths. Their goals didn’t change, the god mountain was the greatest source of attraction for them.
“What’s going on?” At this moment, several immortal kings froze as they stared at a location. Over there, a majestic demon palace could be seen. Terrifying gusts of demonic qi could be felt radiating from there. At the next moment, they only saw an army made of demons exiting the palace.
“This…” Qin Wentian’s group felt their hearts shuddering. An army of demon kings, with several hundreds among them. They were truly impressive as the demonic qi from them swept over everything in the area.
At this instant, the disadvantages of their immortal senses being restricted appeared. Only when the demon army was so close to them could they manage to sense it and feel the danger.
“They are all death troops?” Nanfeng Mingyue suddenly spoke. Qin Wentian and his group then discovered that although the aura of this army was very terrifying, they didn’t seem to truly be demons. They were like death spirits borrowing the body of demons but their strength was the real deal.
Could there be a unique location within the Desolate Mountains which caused these to be born? That seemed to be the only explanation.
“Everyone, let’s move.” Qin Wentian spoke. His group instantly sped to the sides as the army began to move towards them, clearly discovering their existences as well. The army didn’t care about the nearby demons, their target seemed to be Qin Wentian’s group.
“Their purpose seems to be tracking human cultivators. Why don’t we try splitting up?” Qin Wentian spoke. The three teams within his group nodded. Qin Wentian and the people from the Battle Saint Tribe sped towards a direction, while Evergreen Longhao and his group, as well as the members of the Southern Phoenix Clan, went off in two other directions.
However, the army split into three as well, pursuing all of them, confirming Qin Wentian’s conjecture. These death spirits were targeting only humans.
“Continue to split. Qi Yu, follow me.” Qin Wentian spoke. After that, the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe all split further. At this instant, those demon kings of the army hesitated before they too, broke up into smaller teams that continued pursuing but the number of them chasing Qi Yu and Qin Wentian was much lesser compared to before.
After fleeing for some time, Qin Wentian paused. He spoke to Qi Yu, “Are you able to handle them?”
“Not a problem.” Qi Yu nodded. He turned and stepped out, giving a loud roar that shook the sky. A manifestation of a divine ape appeared and with another roar, the ape punched out, causing fist shadows to cover the area, creating many fearsome explosions. Those death spirits died one after another, and Qi Yu continued to rampage, killing the demonic beasts in the surroundings for good measure.
“Saint Lord, it’s best to be more careful.” Qi Yu reminded. They weren’t able to refer to Qin Wentian as Saint Lord out in the public but because in this mysterious area where immortal senses are restricted, it was more convenient for them to call Qin Wentian as Saint Lord directly.
“Mhm, to think that this demon city actually has so many demon king death spirits.” Qin Wentian was a little shocked. The two of them changed direction and continued towards the Demongod Mountain. On the way there, they saw many demon palaces. This demon city seemed to be the territory of different powerful greater demons, and the lord of these palaces were all demon kings.
“What’s that?” Qi Yu pointed toward a random direction. Two powerful desolate wolf kings could be seen gathering there. They were currently staring at a blood-colored statue that radiated a mysterious energy. A moment later, the bodies of the wolf kings also radiated a red glow, as though they were in the midst of awakening.
“Could it be that this particular demon palace has an inheritance left behind by the progenitor of their race? It should be able to ignite their potential.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. After that, one of the wolf kings let out a long screech and under the shocked gazes of Qin Wentian and Qi Yu, the body of the wolf king that howled, began to turn large. A pair of blood-colored wings appeared behind its back as its four legs grew more muscular and its claws also sharpened. Mysterious blood-colored runes could be seen circulating around it as well.
“Seems like Saint Lord is right. These wolves cannot be considered to have a high-graded bloodline but there would occasionally be wolf kings among them. However, because of the limitations of their bloodline, they weren’t able to evolve further and had to depend on other methods.” Qi Yu spoke. Qin Wentian nodded in agreement.
“There seems to be many demon kings fighting for something over there.” Qi Yu pointed in another direction.
“Also, there are actually so many bone relics there. Each of the bone relics gleamed with brilliant light, projecting the shadow of the demonic beast before it died.” There were many projections of greater demons formed from the power of the rune bone relics. Many demon kings were gathered there as they sensed the mysterious energy.
“Good fortune is everywhere. The demons of the Desolate Mountains are truly going to evolve now.” Qin Wentian sighed. Ever since they entered here, they saw demons all around them transforming and evolving.
“Saint Lord, you also cultivate demonic energy, right? Do you want to take a look at the demon palaces and see if they can be of any help to you?” Qi Yu suggested. However, Qin Wentian chose to continue forward, having no intentions to stop.
“You’ve also seen it for yourself. Ever since we entered the Desolate Mountains and move closer to the Demongod Mountain, the bouts of good fortune can be found everywhere. The deeper we enter, the greater the fortune bestowed is. What can be found if we proceeded all the way to the very end?” Qin Wentian stared at the horizons, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
“However, the deeper we enter, the more powerful the demons are, resulting in a higher level of danger. Actually, many of these demons are very intelligent, being happy enough just to obtain an inheritance.” Qi Yu was somewhat worried. Qin Wentian wanted to pry the secret of the Demongod Mountain and although he understood the ambition in Qin Wentian’s heart, he could sense that the danger level was wildly escalating the deeper they advanced.
In addition, the Saint Lord was a human…
“Qi Yu, I understand your intents. You should try and find an inheritance that suit you as well, there’s no need for you to follow me around.” Qin Wentian spoke.
“Saint Lord.” Qi Yu’s expression changed. But before he could say anything else, Qin Wentian suddenly radiated overwhelming amounts of demonic qi as he transformed into a gigantic roc that blotted out the sky. He seemed to be a real demon, and completely not a human.
“Didn’t you realize that these demons don’t seem to have any internal conflict? They wouldn’t act against their own kind. They are the same as humans, and are all here because they want to grow stronger. As long as the benefits of both parties don’t clash, they are more than willing to see all demonkind here evolve.” Qin Wentian spoke. “Don’t worry about me, in the form of a demon, I will be absolutely safe from attacks by demonkind. I’ve already decided, you can go and search for opportunities for yourself.”
As he spoke, he spread his wings and soared up into the sky, directly speeding towards the direction of the Demongod Mountain. Qi Yu glanced at Qin Wentian’s silhouette as his eyes flickered with light. Although the Saint Lord told him to seek out opportunities for himself and asked him to not follow after, Qi Yu couldn’t do so. At the very least, he would follow behind Qin Wentian in case there was any danger.
After all, although Saint Lord’s combat prowess could fight against mid-stage immortal kings, his strength was still insufficient to be invincible here.
Qin Wentian who was in the form of a giant roc was flying through the sky. On his way over, many greater demons below glanced up at him. But since he didn’t show any intentions of contending against these demons for treasures, nobody obstructed him and he was able to travel very quickly.
As he was flying forth, he couldn’t help but feel shock when he saw how vast this demon city was. There seemed to be inheritances left behind by ancient demons who stayed here during the primordial era everywhere.
However, this also seemed to be a checkpoint, and appeared to be guarding the Demongod Mountain.
If that’s the case, what was inside the Demongod Mountain? / NovelFull.Com
As he continued advancing, Qin Wentian finally got closer and closer to the god mountain. He came to the end of the demon city and although he was flying in the air, he still had to incline his head up to stare at the god mountain. The peak of this mountain bordered on the dome of the heavens, it seemed endlessly vast. There was no other way to climb it other than starting from the bottom.
