Chapter 1229: Cruelty of the Myriad Devil Islands

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The Skymist Immortal Emperor’s words weren’t without logic. When Emperor Yu set the rule, he only said that there would be a hundred participants from each side that participated in the adjudication battle.

However, the Myriad Devil Islands restricted immortal emperors from entering but they had no restriction for immortal-foundation characters. This was a loophole. And even if the Skymist Immortal Emperor didn’t send all of them in at one shot, he could still send them there in batches.

There was nothing wrong with him using the loopholes in the rules. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor couldn’t say anything. He was very clear that in this battle, the other side would use any and all methods to win. As for the juniors who entered, they can only depend on themselves.

"Enough, each side will select a hundred participants. Ten years later, let’s see which side has the most survivors." The Skymist Immortal Emperor spoke. After that from his side, a hundred immortal-foundation characters walked out. These were all people who were participating in the adjudication battle.

On the Evergreen Immortal Emperor’s side, Qin Wentian and his group, and the other selected personnel which numbered a hundred in total, also walked out.

At this moment, the immortal emperors took out a treasure that recorded the facial features and individual aura imprints. If this was the case, nobody could deny the fact that the victor won in the future.

"For this period of ten years, if someone exits early, we will kill them regardless of who they are without mercy. How about it?" The Skymist Immortal Emperor spoke.

"Sure." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor nodded his head. Since they set a time, nobody should exit within the ten years. If not, what point would there be?

"Ten years later, we should give these participants an additional grace period of three more months to settle whatever things they need to before coming out. How about it?" The Evergreen Immortal Emperor added.

"Sure." The Skymist Immortal Emperor agreed. Each of them adding a condition.

"Alright, it’s time for you guys to enter." The Evergreen and Skymist Immortal Emperor spoke at the same time. The power this devil gate exuded was extremely overwhelming, and it was also very vast, able to allow countless people to enter at the same time.

Qin Wentian and his group proceeded forward, Bujie was still grumbling, wallowing in misery behind him as he complained, "I’ve boarded the wrong ship."

Glancing at so many experts around them, Bujie felt extremely depressed. He had no protection from his senior brothers whatsoever, and upon seeing the cultivation bases of those who entered, he knew that they were considered one of the weakest.

Qin Wentian and his group approached the devil gate, stepping into the projected screen of light. At this instant, a mysterious energy landed on them all. Qin Wentian only felt an incomparably powerful aura sweeping through his body, as though wanting to see through him completely. This caused Qin Wentian to have a feeling that at the instant they stepped through the gate, some of those powerful existences in the Myriad Devil Islands, already knew of their existence.

It was just that those devil emperors couldn’t care less about the weaker ones. They would only take action if an immortal emperor stepped past the gate.

"Bzz~" When Qin Wentian appeared again, he discovered himself standing in the air. He stared at everything before him only to feel huge waves rocking his heart.

"Is this place the Myriad Devil Islands?"

Qin Wentian murmured. He glanced around him, there was no one at all. For those who entered the Myriad Devil Islands together, they were actually all split up.

"Is this to prevent an invasion by the immortal realms?" Qin Wentian wondered. For those who exit together, they would appear in the same place.

However, for those who enter from the outside, even if it was a great army of immortals, they would still be forcibly split up into different directions. Hence, if a major power in the immortal realms decided to invade the Myriad Devil Islands, it would be a nightmare for them.

Maybe, this was the reason why the Myriad Devil Islands could stand tall for countless of years, being a safe haven for those of the devil path.

"Myriad Devil Islands, does that mean that there are millions of devil islands here?" Qin Wentian stared ahead as he muttered. From the air, he could see an incomparably vast island before him, as large as a main city of the immortal realms. He was unable to see the end of it with a single glance.

Also, this island was merely one island out of the countless islands here. Qin Wentian glanced at his surroundings from the air, there were many other islands all about.

These islands were just like the stars in the sky, countless in number. Each island was its own world.

"This is too mystical. Where are the rest of my comrades?" Qin Wentian sighed. The length of the adjudication battle was set to be ten years. Most probably, was this length of time set because of considerations of other factors. This wasn’t a simple war, but a prolonged war of attrition. One could depend on all sorts of divine weapons and supreme treasures, or even external powers from the devil islands to vanquish their enemies.

They could use all types of methods to obtain victory.

Qin Wentian stepped out, moving towards the island closest to him. Although it appeared very near, it was only because the size of the island was too big. In reality, there was still a distance away before he could reach it.

Given his speed, he arrived at the boundary of the island an hour later. When he reached here, he saw several people leaving the island, heading towards the horizons. Most probably, these people were heading towards the other devil islands.

With a flash of his silhouette, Qin Wentian entered the devil island. This island was like an incomparably vast main city just from the feeling it gave him.

Staring at the crowds of people on the island, a strange expression appeared on Qin Wentian’s face but his expression soon returned to normal.

There were countless people leading ordinary lives on the devil islands and they weren’t like those extremely powerful devil cultivators he met in the sacred academy. For devil cultivators who didn’t release their energy, there wasn’t too much of a difference between them and a cultivator from the immortal realms.

The Myriad Devil Islands were like a world on its own, it had been there for countless years and the vast majority of people here were all focused on cultivating the techniques and arts of the devil path. Their personalities were likely more violent and tyrannical, but this didn’t mean that every devil-cultivator was an evil character. It was just the same for the immortal realms, it didn’t mean that those who cultivated immortal arts and techniques were all kind-hearted people.

Qin Wentian thought back to that little lass Bai Qing those years ago. The kind her has chosen to cultivate the devil path, but was she an evil person?

Also, for characters like Huang Youdi, weren’t they evil and tyrannical as well?

"Seems like I must first have a stable footing on the Myriad Devil Islands before I can protect my life." Qin Wentian mused silently. The adjudication battle this time around, not only must they fight with their opponents, they still had to adapt to life on the Myriad Devil Islands.

When he thought of this, Qin Wentian stepped out, moving in the direction of the city on this island. He wanted to learn more about the current situation here first.

Qin Wentian’s eyes were like lightning, easily able to see through the cultivation bases of the people here. The vast majority were below immortal-foundation, there were many ascendants, and several at the immortal-foundation realm. This place was the same as smaller cities in the immortal realms, immortals were extremely rarely seen, and for those peak-level immortal-foundation characters, there didn’t seem to be any here at all.

He who was slowly walking around the island, didn’t attract any attention. He was just like an ordinary person.

The fighting on the island was truly much more frequent compared to the immortal realms. This should be because all devil-cultivators loved to prove themselves in hot-blooded fights. After all, cultivating devil arts would cause one’s personality to be more tyrannical.

After spending tens of days on the island, Qin Wentian slowly started to gain some understanding with regards to this place.

There were millions of islands here, all of them together were named the Myriad Devil Islands, and each island was helmed by either an extremely powerful devil sect or jointly governed by several equal powers.

This particular island was governed by a sect named the Blackstone Devil Sect. The Blackstone Devil King was a supreme existence, the king of this particular island. His level of strength was at the immortal king level.

There were also other immortal-king level existences on this island.

For this island that belonged to the Blackstone Devil King, the island name would follow the title of the one ruling it. This was the rule of the Myriad Devil Islands.

Those who lived here all had to submit under the governance of the Blackstone Devil Sect. This aspect was much more harsh and tyrannical when compared to the immortal realms.

In fact on this island, when Qin Wentian probed, only an extremely little amount of people dared to speak about the Blackstone Devil King. It was like they were afraid of flouting some rules if they spoke of his name.

It was actually a 13-year old girl who told him. At this moment in a certain courtyard on the island, Qin Wentian was quietly sitting there and there was a quick-witted young girl in front of him. She was very pretty and her name was Mo Yuqing, or also known as Little Qing, the same Qing as Qing`er’s Qing. She was a very kind character, causing Qin Wentian to be fond of her.

"Little Qing, are you talking nonsense to Mr. Qin again?" The sound of laughter rang out as a woman walked over. She looked to be around 27 to 28 years of age and when she smiled, she looked very gentle.

"Madam Mo." Qin Wentian stood up.

"Sir Qin, there’s no need to be so polite. Yesterday, the lass Little Qing ran out alone. If it wasn’t for your help, she might have already been abducted." The woman glared at Little Qing, but Little Qing only had a mischievous expression on her face. She laid in Qin Wentian’s embrace and laughed, "Mother, if I didn’t encounter danger, how would I get acquainted with Mr. Qin? This is called fate."

"Madam Mo, who are those people exactly? Why do they not spare Little Qing, who is merely a child." Qin Wentian frowned as he thought back to the events yesterday.

"How could there be any rules in the Myriad Devil Islands? Those who have a connection with the Blackstone Devil Sect are all rude and tyrannical, doing whatever they want. The people you met yesterday are from the Feng Clan, and a daughter of theirs is currently a disciple of the Blackstone Devil Sect. So, the Feng Clan are like kings here, they will capture whoever they want to capture. That Feng Wuji is a vile beast, he cultivates a perverse devil art.

Madam Mo furrowed her brows as she spoke to here, she was still a little worried as she continued, "Mr. Qin, you weren’t followed here by anyone yesterday when you left, right?"

"I don’t think so." Qin Wentian shook his head.

"I hope you weren’t tracked down, if not..." Madam Mo shook her head. "Little Qing, your father was killed back then when he fought against some others, this island is too chaotic. You shouldn’t roam about recklessly and should focus on your cultivation instead."

"Yes mother." Little Qing nodded. She naively looked at Qin Wentian and spoke, "Mr. Qin, yesterday you defeated all of them with just a single palm, your cultivation base should be at the ascendant level, right? Can you establish your devil foundation already?"

"I think so." Qin Wentian laughed.

"In that case, Mr. Qin you have to work harder. After my grandfather established his devil-foundation, he became an extremely awesome character."

"Mhm, Little Qing, tell me more about the things here in the Myriad Devil Islands. You said that if I want to join the Blackstone Devil Sect, I have to kill a disciple from there?" Qin Wentian asked.

"Mhm." Little Qing nodded. "The devil islands are all extremely cruel. If you want to rise up, you have to kill that person to replace his position. In fact..."

When she spoke to here, Little Qing’s voice grew softer, "If Mr. Qin can kill the Blackstone Devil King, you will then be the new Blackstone Devil King."

"Little Qing." Madam Mo was pale. She knew sprouting random words of ignorance might get people killed here.

"Madam Mo, please rest at ease. I won’t spread Little Qing’s words around." Qin Wentian promised. Only then did Madam Mo nod her head.

But at this moment, Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared outside, only to see numerous figures shuttling over. When Madam Mo saw these people, her countenance instantly changed as she called out, "Elder brother."

"Slut, are you lonely after my younger brother died? You actually brought a man home? Catch the daughter of that slut and send her to Young Master Feng’s Clan as a gift." The young man in the lead coldly spoke, causing Madam Mo’s countenance to turn pale in an instant.
