Chapter 1458: Encountering Old Friends in the Ancient Emperor Palace Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

That was a demonic bear. His claws wrenched the heart of the human out, as the heart pulsated in his hands, dripping with fresh blood. After that, he transformed back into a human and brought the heart to his lips, licking it slightly. His demonic eyes gleamed as he stared at the young girl, “How do you want to die?”

“Elder brother!” That young girl hugged the corpse of her brother as tears streamed down her face. The humans in the surroundings all stepped back, moving far away, silently watching everything while shaking their heads and sighing.

“BOOM!” The palm of that demonic bear reverted to claws as it swiped towards the young girl. But at this moment, a beam of sword light suddenly descended from the air. A light slashing sound rang out as a scream of pain followed after. The paw of that bear was directly severed, as blood splattered onto the ground. His body trembled, and as he turned his gaze over, he saw Qin Wentian walking towards him.

“You severed my paw?” That demonic bear howled, reverting to his true form, becoming extremely large. Qin Wentian directly slashed out once more as a dazzling beam of sword light cleaved down from the skies. In just an instant, the gigantic bear demon was slain. From the beginning until the end, Qin Wentian didn’t even say a single word.

“ROAR!” A thunderous howling shook the air.

Rumbling explosions rang out as many gazes shot over to Qin Wentian. These eyes were all extremely demonic and in an instant, a raging storm of demon qi gushed forth, causing the humans to feel chills down their spine.

“Are you courting death?” A cold voice drifted over. From the crowd, several demonic beasts actually walked out. They were all in human-form, mingling with the humans in the crowd.

“Seems like the greater demons of the Desolate Mountain Range have completely permeated the world of humans in the immortal realms.” Qin Wentian silently mused. He glanced at the humans in the surroundings as he spoke, “Even these vile creatures are more united than all of you.”

The expressions of everyone immediately turned unsightly. Wasn’t this saying that they were worse than these vile beasts?

“BOOM!” A demonic beast slammed a palm out towards Qin Wentian. This demon was a greater demon at the immortal king realm. His aura gushed forth, causing the sky to change color.

Qin Wentian inclined his head, calmly regarding everything. He directly brandished the ancient sword strapped behind him, causing a sword shadow to fill the sky as the palm imprint was slashed apart. After that, he directly moved to kill that demon king who attacked him, in an incomparably domineering manner.

“An immortal king expert. This man is actually a powerful immortal king.” The gazes of the crowd stiffened as they stared at Qin Wentian, feeling shock in their hearts.

“Since you demons have decided to enter the human world, you should all follow the rules here. If you dare to kill wantonly, humans will definitely repay the favor.” Qin Wentian dominantly spoke as he stepped out, shocking all the demonic beasts. None of the demonic beasts dared to move forward, but they didn’t leave as well. They were all coldly staring at Qin Wentian as a wild light flickered in their eyes.

“The royal factions of the greater demons are here in the Gazing Emperor City, yet there’s actually a human daring to act against us here? Shouldn’t we kill him?” From the air, a demonic voice rang out. The crowd inclined their heads only to see a group of figures soaring over. These people all had extraordinary auras and the person in the lead was robed in white, his eyes sparkling with a jade-like luster, as well as a sinister coldness.

“He killed a human, so I killed him. What’s the problem?” Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at those figures.

That young man in white laughed, “There’s no problem. However, you should die as well.”

“Oh?” Qin Wentian stepped forward.

“If you acknowledge your mistake and are willing to kneel and beg for mercy, becoming my slave, I can forget everything and spare your life.” A sinister expression could be seen on the young man’s face. Under his gaze, Qin Wentian actually felt his consciousness slipping slightly as he felt a little dizzy.

“RUMBLE!” Qin Wentian soared up into the air, flying to a height higher than the figures in the air, as he peered down with disdain at them. He then coldly spoke, “A group of vile beasts wants to take humans as slaves? If I agree to it, would you even dare to accept me?”

As Qin Wentian’s voice faded a fearsome destructive wind rose up. Streaks of black-colored sword intent shot through space, arriving before the demons. The expressions of the demons all changed, they blasted out with their palms, wanting to block, but Qin Wentian directly slashed out, amplifying the sharpness. A loud piercing sound rang out as a demon king was killed directly.

“How dare you…” That young man in the lead could sense that Qin Wentian was an extraordinary individual. His expression changed, “I’m from the royal-faction of the Heavenhold Demon Race. There are also others of my race in the city, do you dare to act against us?”

“DIE!” Qin Wentian roared, his sword intent stormed down as the entire space was engulfed with a terrifying sword qi river. That person in the lead was directly slashed apart by the sword intent. His eyes widened in disbelief as he died just like that.

Qin Wentian icily stared at the other greater demons with unmasked killing intent.

“The experts of the Heavenhold Race as well as several other royal-faction greater demons are in the Ancient Emperor Palace of the Gazing Emperor City. Killing our comrades like this, are you not afraid of being hunted down?” A demon roared loudly when he sensed Qin Wentian’s killing intent. However, Qin Wentian didn’t care about that at all. A bright light flashed as his sword intent flooded the area. Very swiftly, that group of demons were all slain.

The crowd all felt their hearts trembling as they stared at Qin Wentian. They didn’t know which powerful character had entered Gazing Emperor City, and was actually so domineering despite facing off against the demons. He directly slew the greater demons and even one from the royal-faction, showing no mercy at all.

“All the demons within the crowd now, you guys better scram for me.” Qin Wentian roared in the air, causing the eyes of all the demons to flash with coldness. But none of them dared to step forth, all choosing to flee instead.

Qin Wentian then turned to the young girl sitting on the ground, she was hugging the corpse of her brother as she cried. At this moment, she lifted her head and stared at him, “Thank you senior for helping me…”

Qin Wentian sighed. After that, a strand of immortal sense from him landed onto the young girl. “This strand of immortal sense isn’t a protective one and would disappear automatically in the future. But even so, it should be sufficient to guard you for some days. After you finish burying your brother, you should leave this place.”

“Junior has no way to repay senior’s great kindness.” The young girl bowed her head. Qin Wentian sent out a stream of energy that helped her up. After that, he vanished from the area with a single step. He wasn’t any holy saint, and his help could only reach this extent.

The Ancient Emperor Palace in Gazing Emperor City was extremely majestic, with as many experts as clouds. It was unknown how many experts would come here daily.

At the area before one enters the Ancient Emperor Palace, there was an ancient battle platform in the form of a public square. It exuded a solemn air, and there were many puppets clad in armor around it. However, these puppets seemed to have been sealed and it has been a long time since any of them were used.

The central palace floated in the air, shining with a resplendent light. There were also eight floating majestic thrones around the palace, and those who sat in the thrones could directly see everything happening on the ancient battle platform.

When Qin Wentian came here, there were already many experts in the surroundings but all of them stood on the ground, staring up at the figures sitting on the thrones of the floating palace. These people were the true supreme characters who stood at the peak of the Desolate Mountains and immortal realms. All of them possessed great authority and power.

“This ancient palace is truly extraordinary. This central palace and the thrones seem to be propped up by a formation, causing it to float in the air. Not only so, those people on the thrones also seem to be enjoying themselves tremendously, enjoying an immortal banquet. In fact, there were even some characters with many beauties around them to accompany them, serving them as they feasted.

What’s more strange was that right at the center of the floating central palace, a dazzling light originated from there which shone onto the ancient battle platform below. Above there, a pair of fearsome eyes like the eyes of the heavens could be seen, it felt incomparably mystical and this pair of eyes was also known as the Emperor’s Eye, rumored to be created by the ancient emperors.

“Sir, what is the purpose of the platform?” Qin Wentian asked a person beside him.

“Don’t you know? The greater demons of the Desolate Mountain Range and the humans from the peak powers would all come to this place before they headed to the City of Ancient Emperors. They would gauge their strengths respectively to see if it was either the demonkind or humanity that currently reigned supreme in the immortal realms. There would occasionally be supreme geniuses from both races that would choose to fight on the platform, seeing who is the superior one. As for the crowd, they can place their bets and enjoy the show. This has already been going on for several days.” The person replied.

Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the eight thrones in the floating palace. Among them, four were occupied by demons, while the other four were occupied by humans.

His gaze then turned cold because he saw that the human females by the side of those greater demons were all extremely beautiful and also had extraordinary cultivation bases. Clearly, these human females were forced by the royal-faction greater demons to serve them.

“Shengge.” At this moment, Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered with sharpness. He actually saw a familiar silhouette by the side of a greater demon in the form of a young man. Nanfeng Shengge of the Southern Phoenix Clan was captured and forced to act as an attendant, serving tea to the demons.

Nanfeng Shengge’s limpid eyes were filled with sorrow, she was helpless to resist. If she resisted, the consequences would definitely be extremely terrifying. These demons were capable of doing anything.

“How about fighting one more round?” A powerful royal greater demon spoke, staring at a human from a peak power.

“Sure.” That expert agreed. From the area where the two thrones are, there were people preparing to step out for battle. But at this moment, a swishing sound rang out in the air as the heat in the area suddenly soared. A fairy-like silhouette appeared, there was actually a look of anger on her face. This woman had long hair, and despite her anger, there was no denying her beauty at all, causing many to sigh in admiration. She had a phoenix crown on her head and exuded a sense of elegance.

“Release her.” This fairy stared in the direction of Nanfeng Shengge as she coldly spoke.

She was none other than this generation’s holy successor, Nanfeng Yunxi of the Southern Phoenix Clan. Not long ago, she had entered the immortal king realm. Her achievements were extraordinary, shocking her entire clan. The ancestral phoenix also gave her some energy to baptize her body.

Right now, the demonic beasts from the Desolate Mountain Range have already extended their reach everywhere. Nanfeng Yunxi and a group of maidens came out to temper themselves, wanting to head to the city of ancient emperors. However, on their way there, they actually encountered an ambush by demonic beasts and Nanfeng Shengge was captured.

The demonic young man beside Nanfeng Shengge slowly sipped his wine, not bothered about Nanfeng Yunxi’s anger at all. His demonic eyes gleamed as he stared at Nanfeng Yunxi as an evil smile appeared on his face. “If it wasn’t for the fact that you are the holy successor of the Southern Phoenix Clan, I would have captured you too back in that ambush and use you as my slave. To think that you still don’t know what’s good for you and came here searching for me. Do you really think that I don’t dare to do anything to you?”

The hearts of all the experts in the surroundings trembled. How domineering was that? That demon actually ambushed the Southern Phoenix Clan’s experts, even capturing a holy maiden as their slave? How brazen are they exactly?!
