Chapter 2026: Inheritance of the Devil Sovereign
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Yue Changkong stared at the gigantic devil which was Qin Wentian. This devil was like the lord of all devils. When the attacks from the evil devils blasted into him, Qin Wentian’s body shattered but recovered almost instantly, like he had an undying body. If one wanted to kill him, one had to exterminate him completely in a single strike, killing him in body and soul simultaneously.
The powerful evil devils continued to attack Qin Wentian sending out negative thoughts to invoke his heart devil. Qin Wentian inclined his head. His devil body expanded in size. His gaze was incomparably deep, akin to an abyss of devils that stretched forth endlessly. An icy devilish voice rang out from him, “I’m originally a devil cultivator. What do I have to fear from devils?”
He chanted devilish verses as fearsome devilish might engulfed the starry space. The evil devils felt their bodies trembling. There seemed to be an invisible dao controlling everything.
“What dao is this?” Yue Changkong frowned. Qin Wentian’s devil-path dao seemed to contain an extremely powerful controlling might, which caused the evil devils he summoned to be impeded severely in terms of their movements and actions.
His eyes shone with an evil light, terrifying to the extreme. Everywhere he glanced at, the evil devils would unleash their evil arts. One of the evil devils manifested spears of darkness that shot through the sky, directly aiming for Qin Wentian’s soul. The giant spear in the center was like the spear of the ghost god, capable of extinguishing all daos. This dao originally belonged to the Moon God but was now manifested by this evil devil.
And other than the spear devil, there was another devil causing a giant blood-colored axe to manifest, this axe seemed capable of cleaving apart the skies and even the astral rivers.
The scene was too terrifying. The devil, which Qin Wentian transformed into, stood amidst the evil devils as all of them frenziedly launched attacks at him.
Qin Wentian’s gaze was terrifying as well. The darkness from his eyes could envelop the sky, directly shooting into the eyes of the evil devils.
“Submit to me.” The voice of a devil sovereign rang out, causing the evil devils to tremble even more violently. The gigantic devil Qin Wentian transformed into grabbed out towards the sky. An invisible might that could dominate everything spread out, wanting the devils to submit to him. Boundless devil light cascaded down on him. The light originated from all the devil-attributed constellations in the nine heavenly layers.
“Break!” The giant devil head roared, causing the sky to shake as the astral rivers crumbled. Those evil devils trembled violently. The spear of darkness was then devoured by a terrifying devil dao. It shattered inch by inch, and the destructive power traveled back to the source, causing the evil devil’s body to crumble apart as well. The evil devil roared in rage but had no way to resist this power.
As for that evil devil which manifested the gigantic axe, its fate was the same. The axe trembled before it shattered apart. After that, the body of the evil devil seemed to be shaved off bit by bit. The other evil devils howled, the volume causing the sky to tremble. The devil might in the area began to churn wildly. The eyes of Yue Changkong, who was controlling the evil devils, turned even more terrifying. What devil dao was Qin Wentian using? How could it be so powerful?
From Qin Wentian’s dao, he could sense devilish might, the energy of space, time, as well as the laws of dimension being fused together into a tyrannical devilish power.
This caused Yue Changkong to recall a person, this person was an extremely fearsome character that was once equal to the Grand Devil Lord. He was also proficient in the dao of devil and had the title of Devil Sovereign. After that, that existence vanished. It was said that he had transformed into a constellation. Another rumor stated that he achieved transcendence. There were also people saying that he was killed by the Grand Devil Lord. In any case, it was an extremely ancient existence. If that existence was still alive, back then, the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms might have nine ancient godkings instead of eight, with two masters of the dao of devils.
And even if he vanished, it was impossible for him to bring everything away. It’s highly possible that he left behind some inheritances for the juniors. Currently, the power Qin Wentian was unleashing bore a great deal of similarities to that existence. Could it be that Qin Wentian had obtained that existence’s inheritance?
Wasn’t Qin Wentian’s luck a little too good? He had so many inheritances and now, he was proficient in all heavenly daos. Space, time, buddha, devil, sealing…It seemed that he was capable of everything and had endless methods at his disposal, making him extremely tough to deal with. The bald donkey of the western paradise also came back stronger than before but none of them expected that despite the little amount of time they gave to Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian had actually grown to such a stage where he could fight against godkings.
“I want to see how strong you are exactly.” Yue Changkong’s eyes were cold, gleaming with evil. His body transformed into boundless black fog, enveloping the surrounding space, causing the constellations to dim. Countless evil devils continued to kill their way towards Qin Wentian but were easily destroyed by Qin Wentian. However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the black fog, causing Qin Wentian’s eyes to widen in shock.
“Little Ye.” Qin Wentian’s expression froze as he stared at that figure. There were numerous tentacles pulling on Little Ye’s arms and legs.
“Godfather, save me!” Fan Ye’s tears flowed like rain as she sobbed continuously, “Godfather, save me…”
“Impossible. This is an illusion, it is a heart devil.” Qin Wentian’s devil eyes were terrifying to the extreme. Even if this was the dao of illusion, it felt no different from reality.
“Godfather, godfather!” Little Ye called out in a frenzy. The black fog transformed into blades of darkness that pierced into her body. Each stab into Little Ye’s body caused Qin Wentian to feel that his heart was being stabbed instead. He had always felt guilty towards Little Ye, and towards Fan Le and Xuan Xin. Now that he saw such a scene, one could very well imagine his emotions.
Back then, Little Ye was precisely killed by Yue Changkong. Could she have managed to live on? Qin Wentian felt some hope in his heart.
“Puchi!” A sword of devilish darkness slashed out an astral river. Qin Wentian stepped into the river, moving towards the black fog. Even if it was an illusion, so what of it? He clearly knew that this was a trap but he had to go no matter what.
“Little Ye, godfather has let you down.” Qin Wentian walked to Fan Ye’s side, stretching out his hand wanting to stroke her face. However, Fan Ye’s body vanished into the black fog at this moment. Qin Wentian’s eyes were filled with agony but he wasn’t surprised because he understood that this was an illusion. Even so, he still felt longing in his heart, and wanted to touch that illusory figure.
In the surrounding space, evil devils were everywhere, they were countless in number. Darkness has already enveloped the entire world. He lifted his head, the sky was completely dark. It felt like he had thrown himself head-on into a trap by walking to the center point of the black fog where countless devils existed.
“You are courting death.” Yue Changkong’s face appeared in all directions, like he existed everywhere. If one were to gaze at this from the outside, they could see an incomparably huge devil head as large as a constellation. Its eyes shone with a fearsome devil light and Qin Wentian was currently inside this head.
“Over there!” Down below, everyone in the starry space sensed the existence of the gigantic devil head via their divine senses. They saw Qin Wentian walking into it. All of their expressions were filled with worry. What happened? Qin Wentian clearly knew that what he saw was an illusion, why did he still enter?
Was this his obsession? Could it be that even now, he still can’t put that down?
But then again, they all knew very well what sort of person Qin Wentian was. Sometimes, he would let his emotions rule his head. He could ignore the consequences. He had always been like this. Even though he was already a heavenly deity now, and was equivalent to a godking, he had never changed.
“Wentian.” Mo Qingcheng smiled but her eyes were filled with tears. She was truly very worried and afraid. Her relaxed smile was just a pretense.
“I’ll go and help senior brother!” Jun Mengchen stepped out, flying towards the sky.
“ROAR!” Little Rascal rushed over, also wanting to head there.
“Don’t go, the two of you wouldn’t be able to change anything. Just leave it to Wentian, believe in him.” Bai Wuya spoke. At this moment, the least they could do was not to cause Qin Wentian to be distracted.
Outside the Heaven Vault, there were now two people who entered. Earlier when the battle started after the western world army arrived, Qin Wentian used his spacetime dao to sent everyone away. After that, no one dared to get near the Heaven Vault for fear of the aftershocks killing them, let alone entering it.
But right now, there were precisely two people who entered. One was an old man, another was a young man. After they entered, they inclined their heads and stared at the sky.
“Will he be able to win?” The young man was demonically handsome, he spoke and asked the old man.
“I have no idea.” The old man shook his head. He truly didn’t know. The level of this battle has already surpassed his cultivation realm. This was what he had wanted to see in the past. Qin Wentian has indeed surpassed his expectations.
