The deadline of the ten years neared . At the entrance of the Myriad Devil Island, at the boundary of the immortal realms, many experts including immortal emperors were all gathered there .
This adjudication battle with a timeline of ten years had erupted with both Qin Wentian and Huang Shatian at the center . In truth, things weren't so simple, there were implications behind this, with something to do with the conflict among the peak powers of the immortal realms .
The Skymist Immortal Empire, Evergreen Immortal Empire, Violet Emperor, Matriarch Ji, Paragon Sword Sect, Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Sky Demon Palace, Taihua Immortal Dynasty, Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, White Tiger Race, Southern Phoenix Clan, Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect . . . Which of these powers didn't have an immortal emperor backing them? They were all hegemons of their respective areas and some even had peak-level emperors .
Ten years was simply too short a time to immortal emperors, something which would pass in the blink of an eye . During these ten years, many conflicts erupted . Experts of both alliances didn't allow immortal kings to enter the devil gate, even for immortal kings no one was acquainted with . They wanted to prevent stirring the situation too much, hence, everyone was in a state akin to a lit fuse, prior to an explosion, guarding the entrance with swords and daggers drawn .
Now, the deadline of ten years was almost up .
Today, even those juniors had arrived . For example, Qing`er . She was here as well, standing at the side of her father .
Because her cultivation base was lower, although she did came by back then to send Qin Wentian off, she didn't enter the Myriad Devil Islands . For those who entered as a participant, almost all of them had cultivation bases at the peak of the immortal-foundation realm with a majority of them comprehending a trace of immortal king might .
"Time passed by so fast . Evergreen, after some time later, your beloved daughter and niece Glaze, will marry into my Skymist Immortal Empire . At that time, we would both be in-laws and we can sit about leisurely to drink tea and chat . " The Skymist Immortal Empire laughed loudly . The Evergreen Immortal Emperor couldn't even bother to glance over, he directly ignored the Skymist Immortal Empire .
"Ten years in the Myriad Devil Islands, I wonder how much Shatian has improved, he must now be infinitesimally close to the immortal-king realm . " An immortal emperor of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire laughed, possessing absolute confidence in Huang Shatian . A true genius would survive even in times of extreme danger . Hence, even if Huang Shatian and the others entered the Myriad Devil Islands, all of them still believed that this would be nothing more than an opportunity for Huang Shatian .
This training field would enable Huang Shatian to return in an even more domineering manner .
Time flowed by and more and more experts gathered here . Even Jun Mengchen was here to welcome Qin Wentian . During these ten years, he roamed many places in the immortal realms and had improved greatly . But even so, he didn't forget this ten-year appointment of his senior apprentice brother .
The other side of the devil gate was the Myriad Devil Islands .
Right now on the other side near the entrance, there was quite a number of devil cultivators clad in armor patrolling about with long spears in their hands . At the point where the spear tip connected with the spear shaft, there was actually a little mirror which emitted a dazzling light . These devil cultivators seemed to be the guards responsible for protecting the devil gate entrance .
At this very moment, a surge of vast devil might gush forth from afar . Not long after, an entire army exuding a terrifying aura could be seen coming over . The guards couldn't help but to furrow their brows . Their devil spears involuntarily trembled lightly in their hands as they stared at these incoming experts .
This group of people was none other than Qin Wentian and the others . After coming here, Qin Wentian glanced about but didn't discover anyone from Huang Shatian's alliance .
Naturally, Huang Shatian's group couldn't have exited the devil gate . Back then, the agreement between the immortal emperors was already set clearly . If there was anyone who dares to return early, all of them would be killed without mercy .
"Surround them . " At this moment, Bai Qing suddenly gave a solemn command . A moment later, experts from the judiciary hall moved forward and circled the guards . The guards couldn't help but to feel nervous as they glanced at these experts with fear and trepidation .
Qin Wentian glanced at Bai Qing, with a puzzled look on his face .
"There are no guards at the devil gate sent here by the Myriad Devil Islands . The movements here can clearly be seen from the Devil Mountain . " Bai Qing explained in a low voice . Qin Wentian's eyes flashed, gleaming with a sudden coldness as he stared at these so-called guards . From what Bai Qing had said, it was clear that these people were masquerading as guards, sent here to monitor the movements here .
"Seniors, us juniors will leave here immediately . " Those people trembled with fear .
"Who asked you all to come here?" Bai Qing stepped forward and asked with a cold voice .
"We came here of our own volition, wanting to deceive others and earn some benefits . "
"Execute him . " Bai Qing commanded .
"Yes, Priestess . " An expert of the judiciary hall instantly launched an attack, causing great fear in the hearts of those fake guards . The remaining instantly knelt down and begged, "Mercy please, someone commanded us to be stationed here, he also said that there's no need for us to do anything else . "
The Fallen Devil Emperor waved his hand as a palm imprint materialized, and clutched the person who spoke, taking away his devil spear .
A cracking sound rang out as the spear shattered . The mirror-like thing connecting the spear tip and shaft floated in the air, capturing this scene perfectly .
"This is a treasure whose main purpose is for surveillance . One can observe things from extremely far away . " The Vast Sky Devil Emperor spoke .
"Huang Shatian . " Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with coldness . Qin Wentian had long made his preparations, receiving the aid of the Vast Sky Devil Emperor, Fallen Devil Emperor and even Bai Qing . The ending was already set but Huang Shatian and his group truly had a few other solutions . They left the devil mountain earlier and actually arranged for people to be stationed at the entrance to monitor Qin Wentian's group movements and situation .
"Before this, did anyone fight here?" Qin Wentian asked .
The countenances of those fake guards flickered . One of them then replied, "No . "
Light from the buddhic art of truth flickered in Qin Wentian's eyes, seeing past all lies and illusions . He could feel that this person was lying . His expression turned even colder . If a battle was fought here before, it means that people from his alliance had already arrived and was ambushed by Huang Shatian's group .
"Execute him as well . " Qin Wentian coldly spoke .
"KILL!" The head of the person who replied earlier toppled to the ground . The other fake guards all had pale expressions . They didn't expect that by accepting the rewards to do this mission, they would offend such a terrifying enemy and even die here . No wonder the reward given was so luxurious .
The light of judgement cascaded on the others as well as all those fake guards were killed instantly . Qin Wentian's expression was like ice . His movements were already known by Huang Shatian and even the devil sense of the two devil emperors couldn't find Huang Shatian's group . Clearly, Huang Shatian intentionally wanted to do this, and his group must now be at an extremely distance place . They wouldn't appear until after Qin Wentian's group left .
Since this was the case, Qin Wentian might have missed another chance to slaughter them completely .
"However, what's fortunate is that there's no more suspense for this adjudication battle . " Duan Qingshan spoke . Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly . Although it was a pity that he wasn't able to kill Huang Shatian and his group . Their purpose for coming here to the Myriad Devil Islands was ultimately for the sake of the adjudication battle .
If they won the battle, they would have achieved their purpose . However, it was truly unfortunate for those experts who died here .
"Now, what's left to do is wait for the deadline to expire . " Qin Wentian calmly stated . The group of them stationed here as time slowly flowed by . By right, there should have been a final fight here but at the very end, there was no fight at all .
The battle at the foot of the Devil Mountain back then seemed to have already decided what the ending would be .
Right now, the area near the devil gate was extremely quiet . With the judiciary army here, the experts of the Myriad Devil Islands didn't dare to head out at all . Nobody knew why the army was stationed there but nobody dared to ask why .
As the deadline approaches, the atmosphere now was unexpectedly quiet and when the last day finally arrived, everyone stared at Qin Wentian, waiting for his instructions .
"Let's wait three more months for the grace period of three months to be up . Maybe there would still be people from our alliance heading over . Also, we need to prevent Huang Shatian's group from exiting during these three months or we might have wasted all our previous efforts . " Qin Wentian spoke as everyone agreed .
Hence, they continued to quietly wait . And as expected, during this period of time, more and more experts of their alliance appeared, all of them extremely shocked when they saw the devil experts with Qin Wentian .
Huang Shatian and the others didn't appear at all . When the two great devil emperors and judiciary army appeared, Huang Shatian already understood that the ajudiciation battle was concluded, there was no hope for their side to obtain victory .
On the other side of the devil gate, many immortal emperors were there . They were all waiting with anticipation . The people of the Skymist Alliance were filled to the brim with confidence .
However as time flowed by, the deadline of ten years was reached . For the extra period of three months, the deadline was gradually nearing as well but no one came out from the devil gate at all . This couldn't help but cause both sides to feel somewhat nervous .
Could it be that the juniors of both sides were mutually defeated and none of them could exit the Myriad Devil Islands on time?
Such a situation should be impossible, at the very least, there would still be a few survivors . But as the deadline for the additional three months grew closer, they suddenly felt that their conjecture might be possible after all .
If that really was the case, which side would be the victor for the adjudication battle?
Today was the final day . If there was still no one who came out, it means that there was no ending for the adjudication battle .
At this moment, everyone had their eyes fixed on the devil gate, waiting nervously with bated breath . Even if one person came out, it was still sufficient to declare victory for his side .
Nervous, worry and anticipation .
But at this very moment, a slight fluctuation could be felt in the air . An instant later, countless gazes all turned to the devil gate .
The spatial fluctuations grew more and more intense . Everyone was holding their breath . even for the extremely confident Skymist Alliance, all of them couldn't help but to feel nervous at this moment .
This majestic and incomparably vast devil gate started shuddering and a moment later, numerous figures appeared, stepping out from the void, directly walking over towards one direction!
