Ba Xiao has died.
Outside the battle platform, many devil kings were spectating the scene. When they saw the death of Ba Xiao, their eyes gleamed with sharpness.
Ba Xiao was a legendary character on the Devil Rankings and was usually tyrannical and domineering as he had a deep background. There would rarely be any who would dare to provoke him.
As the third-ranker of the Devil Rankings, Ba Xiao was a hot shoo-in for one of the top ten. Even if he was so unlucky as to meet against opponents whom he cannot defeat, there shouldn’t be any problems for him to escape. However, nobody expected that he would die in this battle, killed in cold-blood.
Many people glanced at the direction where the experts from the Royal Devil Sect were seated. When they saw Ba Xiao being killed, their expressions were exceptionally ugly to behold.

Ba Xiao was unlucky to have met that ruthless character and died to that joint-attack,
A person at the side spoke in a low voice.

Two people joining forces together, how despicable. Blackstone Devil King, so that’s the devil general under your command?
The people of the Royal Devil Sect all had ugly expressions. They weren’t acquainted with the Blackstone Devil King but all of them heard what the Blackstone Devil King said earlier.

Actually, my subordinate only acted because Ba Xiao took out a divine weapon when he knew he was going to lose. If not, my general wouldn’t have interfered at all. You guys should be able to tell that Ba Xiao, in fact, couldn’t even win against his earlier opponent.
The Blackstone Devil King replied.

Everyone.
At this moment, the devil emperor suddenly spoke. His voice wasn’t loud but everyone here in this vast space heard it clearly.

This battle is only a part of my celebratory banquet. Earlier, it’s already known that everyone who chose to participate, did so of their own free will. The participants in there are all elite geniuses of the younger generation of my Fallen Devil Region and in such a scenario, injuries and deaths are naturally unavoidable. I know there are some juniors from your clans or sects who have fallen on the battlefield. But I still have to remind you guys that they did so willingly, and none of you are to take any revenge on the participants. If somebody dares to do so, then don’t blame me for being impolite.

The devil emperor calmly spoke to everyone. In reality, he wanted to remind these devil kings.
With regards to this point, the devil emperor was very strict on this, and has been so for all the past celebrations. If not, if the winners of the battles were faced with revenge by the clans of those geniuses who died, who else would still dare to participate in it?
In the past, such an incident did happen before. The power who took revenge against one of the participants was completely wiped out by the devil emperor personally after he learned of it.
The devil emperor was the sovereign of the entire Fallen Devil Region. No matter if you are a devil king or a devil-foundation expert, from a small clan or from a major clan, there was no difference to the devil emperor.
Nobody would be able to dispute the authority and prestige of the devil emperor, let alone profane it.
The countenances of those from the Royal Devil Sect turned heavy, knowing that the devil emperor was giving them a reminder. Ba Xiao was a heavily favored character who died here today. Hence, the devil emperor took this chance to use his death as a reminder.
Ba Xiao could only blame his own ill luck for his death.

Although that fellow is low-profile, he definitely isn’t a weakling.
The gazes of everyone turned to Qin Wentian in the battlefield. Even a character like Ba Xiao fell to his hands. No matter how he did it, his danger index began rising in the hearts of everyone.
Xin Yu’s beautiful eyes flickered as she glanced at Qin Wentian. She softly mused in her heart, did he kill Ba Xiao because of her sake?
Ba Xiao was an expert from the Royal Devil Sect and had once threatened her. Once Ba Xiao is dead, the threat he represented would naturally vanish. But since he did that, Qin Wentian had surely offended the entire Royal Devil Sect without a doubt.
However, Qin Wentian didn’t really care about this too much. He only had a single goal – to gain the favor of the devil emperor. If he couldn’t achieve his goal, this meant that he had failed. If this was the case, he would directly leave the Fallen Devil Island.
After killing Ba Xiao, Qin Wentian nodded to Qi Da,
Let’s continue on.


Okay, leave all the combat to me later. I need more battles on this level.
Qi Da spoke. At his current level, it wasn’t easy to find suitable opponents. This battlefield undoubtedly provided the best opportunity for him to ignite his potential.
Qin Wentian nodded. The two of them continued forward and Qi Da would deal with any enemies they encountered. If the other party took out a powerful devil weapon, only then would Qin Wentian act to kill the opponent. As they proceeded, they swept through everything with invincibility. Nobody could stop the two of them.
As time flowed by, the number of participants gradually dwindled. There were some who died and there were some who were eliminated. Those that were eliminated returned back to their seats with reluctance, becoming spectators.
At the same time, more and more of the participants gained the attention of the devil kings from the major powers. There were some exceptionally powerful characters in this bunch, all of them were at the very least, equivalent to Ba Xiao, extremely powerful.
Some of the devil kings from the other islands had looks of pride on their faces. Clearly, some of these participants were their devil generals who came here with them.

They actually grouped together. How did they get acquainted with each other?
At this moment, someone discovered that there was a new person beside Qin Wentian and Qi Da. That person was an extremely powerful expert and was a beauty as well.

How is this possible?
The eyes of a devil king flashed sharply. That female was a devil general under him, the island he ruled was extremely far away from the Fallen Devil Island and there shouldn’t have been any interactions between his general and Qin Wentian.
Could this be love at first sight? That was even more ridiculous. In such a grand occasion and given that everyone were powerful experts, they must be crazy if something like that occurred.
The three of them travelled together and to the astonishment of the crowd, the main combatant was still Qi Da while the beautiful lady would act as support. Qin Wentian was still the most relaxed out of the three. This made everyone feel that Qin Wentian should be the core of this group. Both Qi Da and that beautiful lady weren’t in anyway weaker than Ba Xiao yet despite their strength, they were willing to treat Qin Wentian as their core. Was this Qin Wentian really so simple? Was he really just the subordinate of the Blackstone Devil King?

Blackstone Devil King, who exactly is this devil general under you?
A devil king asked,
Has he always been on your island? Growing so strong under your care to this extent.

Evidently there were some who suspected things. How could the Blackstone Devil King be able to nurture such a heaven-defying character?

He became my devil general on my Blackstone Devil Island, and that naturally makes him my subordinate. As to his identity before, why is there a need for me to care so much about that?
The Blackstone Devil King calmly replied. In truth, the Blackstone Devil King felt that Qin Wentian was getting more and more inscrutable. Back then when Qin Wentian defeated the ex first-ranked general Xuan Ting, the devil king already felt that Qin Wentian was extraordinary. Now, it seemed that even at that time, Qin Wentian was still holding back his true strength.
In addition, Qin Wentian came from the immortal realms. By that train of thought, the Blackstone Devil King could faintly sense that Qin Wentian’s identity in the immortal realms should surely be extremely extraordinary.
For what reasons did he came to the Myriad Devil Islands for exactly?
There was also one more man who attracted an overwhelming amount of attention. It was none other than the young man who sat beside Qin Wentian in the elite sector earlier. His talent was outstanding and not only that, everyone soon discovered how astounding his combat prowess was. All the experts on the Devil Rankings who he met, were all either killed or eliminated from the battlefield by him. This was the reason why everyone began to focus on him.
Time continued on, the battles grew increasingly fewer due to fewer participants. The spectators quietly watched on in admiration at the intense battles as right now, the participants remaining were the more powerful ones. Hence, this resulted in the fact that the battles naturally became more fascinating.
Those who were eliminated earlier also knew that even if they survived until now, they still wouldn’t be able to gain the devil emperor’s favor. There were too many powerful characters in here.

It’s about time to lure them towards the Burial Gorge.
The devil emperor softly spoke, his words causing the gazes of everyone to freeze. After that, they discovered to their surprise that the dimension inside the battle platform was actually twisting. No matter how the people in it advanced, they would all eventually end up moving in the same direction.
That place, was filled with a vast mountain range and a ravine converging together.

The formation is changing. The devil emperor gave the order to change the formation, wanting everyone to gather at the Burial Gorge.
Everyone silently mused. Although many experts were already eliminated, there were still a thousand plus experts inside the battle platform. If all of them gathered together, that would undoubtedly be an extremely terrifying scene.
However, the devil emperor precisely wanted to see such a scene.
There were experts who tried to change directions, but the twisting of the dimension in the battlefield caused them to be unable to do so. Unless they stood there unmoving, if not, no matter where they advanced to, they would be moving towards the Burial Gorge.
Qin Wentian, Qi Da and Nanfeng Ruoxuan proceeded together. Nanfeng Ruoxuan naturally was a holy maiden selected for the expedition by the Southern Phoenix Clan. Her cultivation base was at the peak of immortal-foundation and in fact, she didn’t even attempt to go to the sacred academy as she was in closed-door seclusion trying to break through to the immortal king realm. She has already stayed at the peak of immortal-foundation for a few hundred years and now, her cultivation base was immeasurably deep.
On their way there, they encountered Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan glanced at the three of them and frowned. Before this, Qin Wentian sat in the sector more elite than him, immeasurably deep. As for the other two, they were extraordinary as well. There was no way for him alone to defeat all three of them.

Are you acquainted with Huang Shatian?
Xia Yuan glanced at Qin Wentian as he asked.

Yes.
Qin Wentian replied.

Is there any hatred between both of you?
Xia Yuan asked again.

Mhm.


In that case, you guys will definitely lose.
After Xia Yuan finished speaking, he continued on his way. Qin Wentian furrowed his brows only to see Qi Da asking,
Do you want me to get him to remain behind?

Qin Wentian shook his head lightly. He was contemplating over Xia Yuan’s words. What did he mean by that?
Xia Yuan seemed to have overwhelming confidence in Huang Shatian’s strength and believed that he would lose for sure. Or, could it be that there’s another reason?

Let us continue.
Qin Wentian spoke. The three of them continued advancing and gradually, they saw several devil cultivators heading towards the same direction. Up ahead, there was a ravine and there were already many devil experts there.
The clouds of sand and dust rising up seemed to be an indication of an incoming storm, about to bore down on all of them with relentless fury!
