Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian returned to his normal size as his violent aura gradually calmed.

“Well done!” The immortal cultivators praised. Earlier, the two immortal kings of their side were slaughtered by the demons. Now, the dominance of Qin Wentian could be considered as helping them vent their frustrations and saving the situation, diminishing the arrogance of the demons.

On the other side, the demons all had cold expressions as they icily stared at Qin Wentian. Especially so for the greater demon from the Heavenhold Race. His ugly face flashed with an unmasked killing intent.

“The experts of the immortal realms are as numerous as the clouds. Don’t think that you all can trample upon us. Since you all used such brutal methods to kill our people, we will repay you with the same coin.” Qin Wentian glanced at the greater demons. His words caused one of the greater demons to laughed out loud, “Interesting, to think that a mere human dares to speak so arrogantly before us demons of the Desolate Mountains.”

“Who will go up and kill him?” A greater demon coldly asked. However, Qin Wentian merely coldly snorted as he continued speaking, “If you guys are so stubborn, I don’t mind coming up to fight again.”

After speaking, he left the platform. After all, this wasn’t a battle that was supposed to be fought by him alone but was a battle belonging to the major powers of the immortal realms, fighting against the greater demons of the Desolate Mountains. He might be invincible among the initial-stage immortal king, but if he slaughtered all the demons alone, he would be simply courting death.

Since these demons dared to say that they would invade the immortal realms, one could very well imagine how terrifying they are. The people of the Skymist Immortal Empire and the Paragon Sword Sect kept trying to psyche him out, wanting him to come out to fight. Clearly, they wanted him to die in a battle against the demons. This way, even if he didn’t die eventually, by killing too many demons, he would definitely offend all these greater demons. If he really fought alone while others of the immortal realms didn’t act, the target in the minds of these demons would surely be him alone. This would have been in line with the plans of those from Skymist Immortal Empire and the Paragon Sword Sect. There would be no difference from courting death.

Qin Wentian completely believed that if all these demons wanted his life, not only would this group of people stand aside, they might even stab him in the back. Only fighting these greater demons together would be the correct path.

“Given Brother Qin’s strength, why don’t you fight a few more battles and show how imposing our side is by slaughtering these demons, gaining glory for us?” As expected, as Qin Wentian stepped down from the platform, an immortal king from the Skymist Immortal Empire spoke out.

“Yeah, could it be that brother Qin isn’t willing to put in effort for our immortal realms?” An expert from the Paragon Sword Sect joined in.

Qin Wentian turned his gaze over and coldly stared at the person who spoke. “Earlier, you were the ones who instigated me to battle. Now that I’ve won one, you guys are still saying such things? You want me alone to fight against all the demons of the Desolate Mountains? If this is the case, what’s the use of you two existing in the immortal realms? Why doesn’t the Skymist Immortal Empire and the Paragon Sword Sect announce their disintegration and join my Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect instead?”

“Forget it if you don’t wish to continue fighting. Brother Qin, why must your words be so ugly?” Someone sarcastically spoke.

“This doesn’t seem to be his matter alone, right?” There were some who could no longer bear to hear this. The person who spoke was the holy maiden of the Jadestage Immortal Palace. She glanced at the direction of the Skymist Immortal Empire and the Paragon Sword Sect, “The demons are right before our eyes but you guys still cannot forget your own grudges temporarily? Has the powers in the east fallen to such an extent?”

“The characters of the people from the Skymist Immortal Empire and the Paragon Sword Sect are truly disappointing.” Another person mocked, looking down on the behaviors of these people. Qin Wentian could be considered to have helped them vent their frustrations yet these two powers still wanted to cause an internal conflict, wanting Qin Wentian to die in combat.

“Enough.” An immortal emperor from the Hundred Refinements Sect stated. “Stop making fools out of yourselves in front of the demons from the Desolate Mountains. We already agreed earlier that each major power would send out experts to fight in the challenge battle. Since Qin Wentian has already fought, let’s start from the eastern regions. Who else is going up to battle next?”

The eyes of many turned towards those from the Paragon Sword Sect and the Skymist Immortal Empire. The expressions of these two powers froze. Someone snorted coldly but at this moment, a figure walked out from the Paragon Sword Sect.

The cultivation base of this man was terrifying, at the peak-phase of the mid-stage of the immortal king realm. He was clad in simple robes and his brows were angled like swords. One’s cultivation would cause one’s demeanor to change. His entire bearing was like an unsheathed and unbreakable sword. As he stepped out, boundless sword qi radiated from him, as well as a fearsome sense of sharpness.

The gazes of many from the Paragon Sword Sect were all filled with reverence as they stared at this man. Clearly, this was an extraordinary figure.

“This time around, the experts of all major powers in the immortal realms are gathered here, and now that we are facing against the demons of the Desolate Mountains, some of those truly supreme geniuses at the pinnacle would step out, showing themselves before everyone.” Nanfeng Mingyue spoke in a low voice. Qin Wentian had already returned, and he nodded his head when he heard her words.

Only immortal emperors would have a level of fame that made their names known throughout the immortal realms. It was very rare for an immortal king to be so famous. After all, the immortal realms were just too vast and this time around, some of these extraordinary individuals from the major powers might be showing their faces here.

“This man is a supreme character among the immortal kings of the Paragon Sword Sect. His name is Shangguang Jianyi and he is also a student of the sacred academy.” Nanfeng Mingyue stated. Qin Wentian nodded. Back then, maybe Nanfeng Mingyue also cultivated in the scared academy and learned of the names of some of those supreme immortal kings who were also cultivating within there.

Shangguang Jianyi of the Paragon Sword Sect walked up the platform. He then closed his eyes, basking in the silence of the instant. This scene made everyone feel how terrifying he truly was.

The eyes of all the demons flashed. This time, the immortal realms were the one who first sent up a participant. If the demons wanted to observe the strength of this person, they would have to choose carefully who to send up.

This Shangguang Jianyi made them feel a threat.

“BOOM!” A Taotie eventually stepped out, incomparably baleful and radiating a terrifying aura. This was a very famous ancient beast. Although he was now in human form, the position of his eyes were very low. If he was in his demon form, his eyes would be located beneath his armpits.

The Taotie let out a low-sounding roar as a look of greed flickered within his eyes. However, Shangguang Jianyi still had his eyes closed. It was like just by standing there, he was the only one in the entire world.

“RUMBLE!” The Taotie stomped the ground. He could sense the threat and decided to revert back to his true form. A moment later, an incomparably gigantic and hideous beast appeared before the crowd, horrifying to the extreme.

“BANG!” Another loud sound echoed as the Taotie entered the platform. He rushed forward and from the visions of everyone, it seemed that Shangguang Jiangyi would die immediately. However, at that very moment, boundless amounts of sword qi abruptly enveloped the entire space. His sword intent was ethereal and formless, existing everywhere in this space.

Shangguang Jianyi wasn’t his real name. It was only later on did people give this name to him. Jianyi, Jianyi. He could slay people with just a single sword strike.

“Chi, chi, chi...” The sword intent flooded the area. A dim corona of light surrounded Shanguang Jianyi. The Taotie howled loudly, sensing a feeling of impending doom. His attack grew more violent as he lunged forth towards Shangguang Jianyi.

“ROAR!” A sharp sound pierced through the ears of everyone, trembling the inner organs of those who heard it. However, Shangguan Jianyi didn’t seemed affected. He stood there as always, and was still calm despite the trembling of his body caused by the Taotie’s shrill screams.

“Yiiii~” An even shriller scream rang out. Right now, the sword intent in the area abruptly transformed into countless soft and flexible swords, circling around the Taotie with great speed. The swords didn’t attack but countless swords started forming and the sword might in the area increased drastically. A world of swords then formed, wanting to engulf the Taotie completely.

The Taotie howled in rage, but the sword intent was completely ethereal, there was no way for him to disintegrate the sword might. The sword might in the area moved together with him, growing stronger and stronger. And when it finally reached the ultimate peak, the swords became a prison, completely engulfing the gigantic Taotie.

“ROAR!” The Taotie let out an earth-shattering roar within the sword prison. He didn’t continue to advance towards Shangguang Jianyi but chose to turn and flee instead. However at this moment, Shangguang Jianyi finally moved. A resplendent beam of sword light shot out from his body and as he slashed out, the millions of swords exploded, forming into countless sharp fragments that buried themselves in the Taotie’s body. In an instant, fresh blood splashed through the sky. Very swiftly, the gigantic body of the Taotie was sliced off part by part until he completely disappeared. The sword intent in the area only slowly dissipated a long time after that.

The eyes of the immortal cultivators all flashed. What a strong combat prowess. Seems like the major powers of the immortal realms decided to act for real, and allowed their strongest elites to step out.

The expressions of many greater demons were all extremely ugly to behold. They were actually suppressed by humanity. Right now, there were two wins and two losses. They held no advantage at all.

“Who else wants to step up for battle?” The Baize calmly spoke. Only to see that at this moment, a figure from the Evil God Race walked out. He was a supreme expert of his race, he stepped up the platform and waited for his opponents to send themselves to death.

This time, one of the Skymist Immortal Empire’s immortal kings with the same level of cultivation stepped up. Demons of the Evil God Race practiced the evilest type of energy – destruction, poison, corrosion, bewilderment, confusion, and control. Although the immortal king from Skymist was strong, he eventually still died a terrible death under the Evil God Race’s demon, swallowed up directly at the end.

From the human side, the elites of the major powers respectively stepped out, matching against the terrifying greater demons of the Desolate Mountains. There were wins and losses on both sides but the demons from the Desolate Mountains were truly terrifying. Each of those who stepped out to fight, all possessed terrifying innate abilities and talents. After all, they were of the royal factions of the Desolate Mountains.

However, there were also some exceptional characters from the humans. Shangguang Jianyi alone was incomparably powerful. There was also an extremely strong immortal king in the Shooting Sun Immortal Empire who could take a life with every arrow he fired. Another supreme expert was from the Senluo Immortal Empire. His domain was the hell asura domain, containing boundless might.

But even so, the greater demons still possessed the advantage at the end. But despite that, it wasn’t going to be an easy thing for them to obtain a clear and complete victory.

After some time...

“Enough. You guys lost more than what you won. Shouldn’t it be about time for you all to give us Skybreak City?” The female demon Baize coldly spoke while the immortal emperors from the northern regions replied, “The battle has yet to end. Before this, for those elite geniuses of our immortal realms, they can still continue to battle.” action

“Could it be that you all believe they can stand against the strongest characters among our demonic races?” A supreme expert from the Phoeroc Race icily spoke.

“How would we know if we don’t try?” The immortal emperor replied. He felt that since these demons wanted to drive humans out from Skybreak City so urgently, something major is surely going to happen.

At this moment, Qin Wentian tensed. He once again felt the signal by Little Rascal. Almost at the same instant, the Baize’s expression changed. She then spoke, “If you still refuse, we can only launch our attack.”

As the sound of her voice faded, the demons behind her all let out roars and screeches, causing this entire space to tremble.

And at this moment, in a certain region within the Desolate Mountains, the sky there suddenly changed color as craters appeared on the ground. A supremely powerful surge of demonic qi towered up into the air, permeating a vast area. In this space, there seemed to be even more demons compared to those outside, including the number of demonic races. In fact, the races here were even stronger compared to the ones outside that are fighting the immortal cultivators. If the immortal cultivators were to see this, they would definitely be extremely shocked
