Chapter 1304: Within the Saint Devil Hall
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian naturally didn't know of what the others were thinking. Right now, he was fully immersed in this world before his eyes. There were boundless lines formed from law, interweaving into runes of the Great Dao.
Every rune of law was of a different kind of energy, and manifested different types of innate techniques. These, were the daos of heaven and earth.
The dao of runes originated from here. When in his particle world, Qin Wentian had once researched and analysed divine inscriptions. At that time, he already sensed that there was a connection between divine inscriptions and innate techniques. All sorts of techniques were linked at the base, when one grows closer and closer to the intrinsic quality, they would discover how marvelous that was.
With regards to immortal and devil, there was originally no difference. For this point, Qin Wentian was already very clear during the test he experienced when he ascended the Devil Mountain.
He quietly closed his eyes and released his immortal sense, causing the scene in the surroundings to appear incredibly clearly in his mind.
When the streams of laws transformed into rune inscriptions and bound his body, he could see that there were a countless number of runes interweaving, giving rise to different energy. Many of these energy streams had terrifying destructive power, and if he came into contact them, he would definitely die here.
Hence because of this, even for peak-level geniuses like Yulong Shengtu, he wouldn't dare to casually enter the Saint Devil Hall.
The reputation of this place was well known to everyone on the Devil Mountain. They also knew what benefits this place would bring them, and even knew why the other six devil halls they were from, could be able to last for so long. They also knew of a truth...that the powerful inheritance arts and techniques had all originated from this Saint Devil Hall where the supreme lofty Myriad Devil Sovereign was said to reside in.
Streams of law energy also began to radiate from Qin Wentian, gradually seeping into the law energy of the Saint Devil Hall, colliding with it. After that, the people outside only saw that Qin Wentian moved. His movements were extremely slow, and he now was lifting his foot to take a step forward. At the instant he attempted to do so, a destructive attack was launched his way. Qin Wentian twisted his body, landed that step he took, evading the powerful attack.
His actions were very smooth, as though he was very lucky. But only Qin Wentian himself knew that if it wasn't because he had sufficient comprehension with regards to the law energy here, how could he be so lucky?
Although it was only a simple step, it caused the eyes of the people who were watching outside to narrow. Yulong Shengtu's eyes gleamed coldly. This Qin Wentian actually managed to advance a step inside the Saint Devil Hall.
Advancing a single step was definitely not an easy task within the Saint Devil Hall.
"What a lucky person." Yulong Shengtu spoke in a glacial tone. That terrifying burst of light earlier actually failed to kill Qin Wentian.
But was he really only lucky?
Qin Wentian who was in the Saint Devil Hall, rested for an instant before he took another step forward. Although his movements were very slow, it didn't seem that the Saint Devil Hall was able to fully restrict his movements. This scene caused the Yulong Shengtu's countenance to change.
Qin Wentian continued forward, and in fact, he has already surpassed an expert who was inside the Saint Devil Hall, walking past him.
The eyes of many outside gleamed with sharpness, the looks of disdain earlier now all turned heavy as they watched.
The personality of the Child of Darkness was very tyrannical, he didn't allow Qin Wentian to enter the Saint Devil Hall, feeling that it would be a form of blasphemy for an immortal realm cultivator to enter. The others might not feel as strongly as him, but they were still unhappy in their hearts. But since even the Darkness Devil Lord didn't say anything and allowed Qin Wentian to enter the Saint Devil Hall, they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to.
But even so, they didn't really mind it. From their perspectives, even if an immortal realm cultivator entered their sacred ground, he would also be in a very miserable state. How could he last for long in there?
But at this moment, their confidence was somewhat shaken. There was only very few people who could accomplish what Qin Wentian did, moving forward during the first time they entered the Saint Devil Hall. Despite the difficulty, he still could advance. One has to know that there are many people who were forced to remain unmoving the moment they entered.
"Could he really enter the depths of the hall?" A ludicrous thought appeared in the minds of many. If this was the case, an immortal realm cultivator succeeding, leaving aside the problem of face for these devil cultivators, if another existence like the founder of the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall appeared, would this Devil Mountain, still be the Devil Mountain of the devil cultivators?
However, this thought merely flashed by. This is only the beginning. The founder of the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall was definitely a character that could shock the past and present since he was able to establish a devil hall at the peak. How could a casual immortal realm cultivator be comparable to him?
Qin Wentian gradually advanced through the hall. After evading some streams of law energy, he saw a devil pillar before him. This devil pillar was extremely terrifying, exuding boundless devil's path law energy. All of a sudden, the shadow of a true devil appeared on the pillar, as the power of his will gushed straight into the mind of Qin Wentian.
"BOOM!"
This will was tyrannical to the extreme and was judging Qin Wentian like a devil lord, wanting to destroy his will.
"BOOM, BOOM….!" Qin Wentian's aura erupted forth involuntarily. However, the attack of will had no connection to defenses of the fleshly body. Qin Wentian could only react to it and guard his mind, while he involuntarily took a few steps back.
A swishing sound rang out as an intense sense of danger bore down on him. Qin Wentian summoned the entirety of his strength and dodged to the side. That attack sliced past his shoulder, leaving behind a line of blood, as well as extreme pain and misery.
However, Qin Wentian didn't have the time to care about such pain. The terrifying will was like a tyrannical devil staring at him in judgement, unceasingly launching attacks at him, wanting to shatter his will. The attack of the devil will was like bolts of lightning, containing countless might. They were terrifying to the extreme.
Qin Wentian's will turned corporeal in his mind. A fearsome palm imprint augmented by God's Hand manifested, blotting out the sky, wanting to extinguish the devil will.
However, the devil will seeped even deeper in. The devil lord in his mind was like a devil god, causing black lightning bolts to rain down, shattering his palm imprint. An apocalyptic scene appeared in Qin Wentian's mind as everything shattered and collapsed. Qin Wentian felt as though his head was about to explode from the intense pain. He was on the verge of giving up.
"Saint Devil Hall." Three words appeared in his mind. When he thought of Bai Qing being imprisoned in the Blood Devil Cliff, his own will grew stronger and more resolute. Manifestations of supreme greater demons appeared in his mind; god dragons soaring through the air, vermillion birds crying shrilly, divine elephants suppressing the heavens, great rocs slicing through the clouds… The atmosphere in the scene within his mind kept churning and shaking from the impact, alongside with his body.
The collision of his will against the devil will caused Qin Wentian to moan in pain as blood seeped out of the corners of his mouth. His countenance had turned completely pale. Gritting his teeth, he did his best to endure. The collisions in his mind grew increasingly violent. That devil lord stared at him, roaring angrily wanting him to give up defending but how could Qin Wentian give up so easily? He continued fighting madly and finally, his will managed to eradicate the devil will from the pillar.
When he opened his eyes, a brilliant burst of light flashed past as the last of the devil will was eradicated. He then stared at the towering devil pillar before him as shock filled his heart.
Was this place the Saint Devil Hall? As expected of the sacred ground of the Devil Mountain, it was actually so hard to proceed forward. He then closed his eyes and cultivated quietly, his will was wavering and right now, he felt a little muddleheaded. If he continued advancing, he would die nine out of ten times.
He finally understood why there were so many people standing in their original positions, unwilling to advance forward after they stepped into the Saint Devil Hall. This place was filled with incredible danger.
"He shouldn't be able to continue forward, right?" From outside, Yulong Shengtu's expression was extremely cold. Qin Wentian finally stopped, clearly, he was obstructed by the attack from the devil pillar.
This time, Qin Wentian stopped there for quite a period of time. And just when many thought that it was impossible for him to continue moving forward, he began to lift his foot and advanced deeper into the depths of the Saint Devil Hall.
"Interesting." Bujie laughed. This fellow created such a huge commotion in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, now that he is here on the Devil Mountain, would he give a similarly deep impression to these devil experts here as well?
Qin Wentian directly walked past that stone pillar and continued ahead, encountering numerous dangers. He had already surpassed numerous experts who were in the Saint Devil Hall. Also for each of the stone pillars, all of them contained an immensely strong devil path energy.
He proceeded forward until he encountered another terrifying will attack. This time around, the attack was launched by a terrifying existence that was like an Imperial Devil Dragon God. This devil god peered with disdain at everything beneath the sky, and he was sitting upon a gigantic dragon of darkness. Each of his attacks would cause the darkness dragon to attack as well, intent on destroying everything.
When the terrifying darkness dragon opened its maw wanting to devour Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian only felt his will on the verge of collapse. If his will was eradicated here, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
The attacks launched all contained devil tribulation energy. This devil god was like a sky devil, and somehow, it reminded Qin Wentian of both the Sky Devil Hall and the Imperial Dragon Devil Hall.
Saint Devil Hall, this sacred ground of the Devil Mountain seemed to contain the energy of ultimate attacks from each of the devil halls at the peak. This made Qin Wentian feel that if he could see through the secrets of this hall, he would have a chance to understand each of the other six halls in their entirety. Was this how the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall was established by that immortal realm founder all those years ago?
An immense battle intent rose up in Qin Wentian's heart. In his mind, a demon god phantom manifested, summoning the eight supreme demons who were revolving fiercely around him, blocking all the attacks launched by this tyrannical devil will!
