Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian stood there, resembling a divinity. Those demonic beasts instantly sobered up, cleared of their anger. They stared with trepidation in their gazes at the magnificent figure in the air.

“Wanting to kill humans? The two supreme greater demons of your demonic races joined forces to deal with Qin Wentian. Could it be that you won’t allow us humans to do the same thing to you?” Somebody coldly spoke, radiating an intense battle intent. All the demonic beasts let out low-sounding roars. The other demons from the nether race rushed out, wanting to save the supreme nether demon that was trapped.

The other experts from the Beast God Race also rushed out. They were all hidden within the black cloud. Countless chains shot out from the air, enveloping a certain area, wanting to lock everything down.

Qin Wentian didn’t interfere in the combat here. Although that supreme character from the Beast God Sect was somewhat sinister and took advantage of the situation earlier, the nether demon wasn’t any kind soul either. Staring at the skulls manifested, he could tell that the supreme nether demon had murdered many humans before. To such a demon, Qin Wentian naturally wouldn’t feel any sympathy. Just let them kill each other. When they exit this place, the two major powers would clash with each other, making the immortal realms even more chaotic. This way, not all the major powers would be focused on him then.

As for that demonic dragon, he icily stared at Qin Wentian before he glanced at the nether demon fighting against the supreme expert from the Beast God Sect. He sighed in his heart, seems like after the Demongod Mountain appeared, causing the demonic beasts of the desolate mountains to enter an evolution phase, they have truly been too arrogant and had underestimated humans. This time around, it could be considered a lesson for them. He could feel that it was very difficult for him to defeat Qin Wentian. Also, for that supreme character of the Beast God Sect, that man gave off an extraordinary feeling as well.

Humans weren’t as simple as the demons. They hid themselves extremely deeply.

“ROAR!” A draconic roar echoed out loud shaking the heavens and earth. The demonic dragon directly shot up into the skies. Although he didn’t exhibit his full strength, he knew that he has already lost. Regardless of what happened, the person standing at the absolute peak of the City of Ancient Emperors would definitely not be him. Even if he continued staying here, there would be no meaning to it.

Numerous screams of pain and misery rang out. That supreme nether demon was struggling futilely. He was about to be refined by that supreme expert from the Beast God Sect with such terrifying methods that the spectators felt a chill in their hearts. One must definitely never underestimate the mysterious Beast God Sect. action

Qin Wentian glanced at the experts who remained. The only ones who didn’t participate in the battle were the Grand Apostle, the supreme character from the Judiciary Hall, Jiang Zihua of the immortal realms and the reverend from the Askheart Temple.

“Any comments?” Qin Wentian glanced at the other supreme experts as he asked.

“My Jiang Clan has always harbored no ill intentions towards Brother Qin. Back then my younger brother Jiang Ziyu had issued an invitation for brother Qin to pay a visit to my Jiang Clan, we will definitely treat you as a valued guest. Even after so long, my Jiang Clan still welcomes Brother Qin with open arms.” Jiang Zihua smiled. Qin Wentian back then could sense that Jiang Ziyu had some other intentions behind this invitation. Also, his combat prowess back then was extremely weak, he naturally wouldn’t pay a visit to the Jiang Clan. Now, he wouldn’t go as well. The Jiang Clan was extremely mysterious, cultivating in buddha-path techniques and arts. Although Jiang Zihua’s smile seemed gentle and warm, it still gave him an unfathomable feeling.

In fact, even with his art of truth, he had no way to see through what Jiang Zihua was thinking. He couldn’t tell if they had kind intentions or malicious ones.

“I will definitely pay a visit if there’s a chance to.” Qin Wentian casually replied, his tone somewhat perfunctory. Jiang Zihua naturally understood. He nodded and smiled, “We shall await your coming with anticipation then.”

As he spoke, his gaze turned about, staring at the reverend from the Askheart Temple. “Reverend, both you and I had obtained the buddha dao element’s inheritance. I always wanted to find you for a good spar. Now that there’s such a good opportunity, why don’t we exchange some pointers?”

“I have the exact same intention.” The reverend from the Askheart Temple calmly replied.

“Since this is the case, I thank reverend for the guidance.” Jiang Zihua stepped out. Buddhic light shone around him, causing the surrounding space to be illuminated by a golden glow. His handsome figure radiated buddhic light, and his appearance right now felt extremely dashing.

“Reverend, please.” Jiang Zihua was exceedingly polite. It didn’t seem that they were going to battle, but were about to discuss about the dao of buddha instead.

The reverend from the Askheart Temple stood at his original location. Buddhic light enveloped him as a resplendent lamp appeared above him, giving off a radiance that illuminated his dharmic idol. He seemed to be completely at one with his dao.

Bujie’s eyes flashed with worry as he stared at the situation here. Although he had joined the Myriad Devil Islands for cultivation and comprehended the devil arts from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall. His heart was still filled with the Askheart Temple.

“Clearly you are planning to fight a grand battle yet Jiang Zihua still speaks so politely. Such a hypocrisy. Either he is truly a transcendent being or he is a great villain. From my perspective, he is most probably a villain.” Bujie spoke. The devil cultivators beside him glanced at him. One of them laughed, “But on the contrary, I feel Jiang Zihua exhibits the manner of a gentleman, exuding extraordinariness and elegance.”

“You guys only cultivate devil arts, how can your judgement be as good as someone like me who has cultivate both the buddha and devil path? Both of them obtained the buddha dao element and only one would remain eventually. The price the other has to pay might very well be death. In such a situation, would you be polite to your opponent?” Bujie laughed as he questioned.

“Naturally I wouldn’t. If I was the one, I would directly start the battle and kill off my opponent.” That devil cultivator replied.

“That’s right then. When things don’t go according to logic, something strange must be going on. Clearly only one of them can remain at the end, yet Jiang Zihua still feigned civility in such a situation. If he isn’t a villain, what is he?” Bujie’s voice was filled with contempt, as though Jiang Zihua had offended him before. The devil cultivator at the side merely laughed but didn’t argue further. He naturally could tell that Bujie seemed extremely unhappy with Jiang Zihua. This might be because of Jiang Zihua’s opponent, a monk from the Askheart Temple. After all, Bujie was from the Askheart Temple.

As they spoke, Jiang Zihua and the reverend already started fighting. Both of them cultivated in buddha energy and comprehended buddhic innate techniques and arts, receiving the inheritance of the same dao element. Jiang Zihua’s buddha techniques had unparalleled power, and contained a seemingly boundless transformation, with many other attacks mixed within. However, the reverend from the Askheart Temple defended purely with buddha techniques. The two of them clashed, their dhama idols warring against each other as well.

Qin Wentian was content to be a spectator. At this moment, there were actually thousands of figures of Jiang Zihua around the battlefield. Each of his clones contained a shocking amount of power and all of them chained their attacks together. What was even more terrifying was that the attacks launched by each clone, were actually a different type, but they could all miraculously fuse together, engulfing everything that stood in their way.

The reverend pressed his palms together. Boundless buddha energy flowed around him as ancient runes manifested. The sound of buddhic chants filled the air as a giant ancient buddha appeared, blasting out with its giant palm, breaking apart all attacks launched his way.

The powerful palm imprint shattered everything. But at this moment, Jiang Zihua stomped ferociously on the ground as his figure vanished completely without a trace. When he appeared again, he was already in the air, standing above the reverend. Buddhic light flared resplendently as a diamond vajra appeared, exuding waves of suppression that bore down against the reverend from the Askheart Temple. Even the spectators felt their hearts trembling when they saw this scene.

The reverend calmly chanted buddha sutras, as immovable as a mountain. His palms glowed with a faint golden light. The buddha beads he was holding shattered as the golden buddhic light enveloped him completely, helping him to withstand the pressure. The force boring down on him was so great that the earth around him cracked, forming a rough pattern resembling a spider web.

“Bang, bang, bang...” His buddha beads exploded one by one, releasing an intense brilliance. Everywhere the reverend stepped, a golden dao lotus bloomed. Their petals converged together to form a sword capable of slaying evil, slashing out at Jiang Zihua as his physical body launched an attack as well.

However, Jiang Zihua’s movements were like the shadows, he evaded everything and was still in the airspace directly above the reverend. He smiled and said, “Reverend, please be careful.”

As the sound of his voice faded, thunderous explosions rang out as more diamond vajras manifested, locking down this entire space with the overwhelming suppressive pressure, launching countless attacks at the reverend from the Askheart Temple.

“BOOM!” A moment later, thousands of giant palms erupted forward in all directions, blasting against the diamond vajras. However, this attack was clearly insufficient.

The diamond vajras continued pressing in, sealing the space around him. The reverend could only chant buddha sutras with his palms pressed together. The remainder of his buddha beads all exploded at this moment, giving off a radiance that completely covered him, granting him an indestructible dharma idol and body, allowing the attacks to hit him. He was as immovable as a mountain and only wished to be connected to buddha for all eternity.

“Reverend, please forgive this junior for my offense.” Jiang Zihua calmly spoke. An instant later, an illusory scene appeared. Countless incredibly alluring maidens appeared, oozing charm and charisma, as they started to dance, imprinting their images into the reverend’s mind. These maidens were born from an illusion, yet they seemed more real than reality. They stripped off their clothing piece by piece, charming to the extreme.

Even for spectators, they felt their hearts being stirred profoundly when they saw such a scene. This illusionary technique seemingly has the power to turn into reality, mesmerizing the hearts of people.

“Is this also a buddhic art?” Bujie shouted, his expression turned cold.

“All innate techniques and arts share the same origin source. Powder and rouge might as well be powder from bones.” Jiang Zihua replied. The reverend from the Askheart Temple nodded, “Well said, powder and rouge might as well be powder from bones. My dao heart shall not be shaken.”

Although he spoke with determination, these maidens soon started dancing more provocatively, exuding incomparable charm and beauty as they danced closer and closer to the reverend. Many of the spectators felt their control slipping as they stared at the mesmerizing dance. They understood that Jiang Zihua wanted to break the reverend’s dao heart.

“Despicable!” Bujie roared. Qin Wentian glanced at Bujie. Seems like the emotions of this fellow towards the Askheart Temple were still as before.

Finally, a clear sound rang out. Cracks began to appear on the indestructible dharma idol of the reverend from the Askheart Temple. The reverend’s body itself also started to crack apart, causing fresh blood to flow. However, he was still immovable as a mountain as the buddhic chants from his mouth continued unabated.

“Cease-fire!” Bujie roared in anger and stepped forward. The devil cultivators beside him all started but soon recovered as they followed him. After all, Bujie had transcendent status in their Myriad Ancient Devil Hall.

“What are you guys planning to do?” The experts from the Jiang Clan stepped out and obstructed their path. Jiang Ziyu was among them, he coldly spoke, “This is a battle between both characters who stand at the peak. Even the monks from the Askheart Temple didn’t interfere. What are you devil cultivators interfering for?”

“KILL!” How could Bujie give a damn about so much? He directly waved his hand and issued the kill command. After speaking, he took the initiative and punched out towards Jiang Ziyu. He, Bujie, has cultivated both the devil and buddha path. Why would he care so much about rules when he does things? He shall simply fight if he needs to fight.

“Bujie, there’s no need to interfere.” That reverend spoke. Clearly, he was acquainted with Bujie. However, injuries soon appeared on his body, and they grew even heavier.

“Master!” Bujie called out, causing the hearts of all the devil cultivators from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall to tremble, finally understanding why.

Qin Wentian’s heart trembled as well. So it turned out that this reverend was none other than Bujie’s master.
