Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1284: Death Comes

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The heart of the Old Xia Devil King trembled. Never would he expected that he would be forced to such an extend by a minor character.

Back then during the time at the Fallen Devil Emperorʼs birthday celebration, he depended on being an old friend of the devil emperor, and wanted the devil emperor to give him face. How could a junior shake their friendship, the ranking of the battle event was just an unimportant matter.

Even the Fallen Devil Emperor himself felt this way. However, that minor and insignificant matter from back then has actually become a huge trouble today, so great to the extent where he might even have to die.

”Brother Vast Sky, things arenʼt so serious, right?” The Fallen Devil Emperor spoke. Old Xia was his good friend. No matter what, he would do his best to save his life.

”He has already sent a devil king to hunt down little brother Qin Wentian. Is this still not enough for him to pay with his life? In addition, Qin Wentian has given him a fair chance. What do you mean by things arenʼt so serious?” The Vast Sky Devil Emperor calmly spoke.

”Brother Vast Sky, do you really intend to start a war with my Fallen Devil Region for the sake of a junior?” The Fallen Devil Emperor was somewhat angered now. Before this, he was very polite, trying to minimize the matter. The Vast Sky Devil Emperor was an extremely tyrannical and powerful devil emperor, he didnʼt wish to fight head-on with such a character.

Being able to resolve the issue would naturally be for the best. However, Qin Wentianʼs only purpose here today seemed to be taking the life of the Old Xia Devil King.

”That would have to depend on your choice.” The Vast Sky Devil Emperorʼs eyes gleamed with sharpness.

”Qin Wentian, what do you want? You can tell me directly. Since you are acquainted with Brother Vast Sky, as long as your request isnʼt too excessive, I will naturally satisfy you.” The Fallen Devil Emperor turned to Qin Wentian, taking a step back.

The experts in the surroundings felt their hearts shaking. Seems like the Fallen Devil Emperor didnʼt wish to start a war. He actually chose to compromise with a junior.

”This time, his Majesty is in such a deep hole all because of the Old Xia Devil King.” The people here all cursed silently at Old Xia. Back then, Qin Wentianʼs performance was extremely outstanding and should have been part of the top three with Huang Shatian. Most probably, the Fallen Devil Emperor did have this intention as well but because of Old Xiaʼs forced interference, wanting the devil emperor to give him face, things wouldnʼt be like this now.

Right now, the Old Xia Devil King even caused the Fallen Devil Emperor to have to compromise with a junior for the sake of him.

If the Old Xia Devil King wasnʼt a close bosom buddy of the Fallen Devil Emperor, most probably he would already have been abandoned.

These people seemed to have forgotten that not one of them objected when the Old Xia Devil King made that request. When the devil emperor announced the rankings then, everyone pretended not to know yet now, all of them were putting the blame on Old Xia. One could only say that the things in the world change constantly. Qin Wentian brought the Vast Sky Devil Emperor here today and his status now was different, causing their thinking to all change.

”Senior Fallen Devil Emperor. Now, I only want to settle the debt with the Old Xia Devil King.” Qin Wentian domineeringly replied, not bothering to be polite.

Without strength of background, what was the use of being polite? If it wasnʼt for the Vast Sky Devil Emperor behind him, if he dared to act this way, he would already have been smacked to death. In the future without the support of the Vast Sky Devil Emperor, he would die all the same. Hence, there was no need for him to be polite.

”If you still have a backbone, get Xia Yuan out to fight with me. If not, just commit suicide now. If both devil emperors start a war, you not only have to die, you would die as a sinner and as a useless coward.” Qin Wentian continued.

The face of the Old Xia Devil King turned red, glaring harshly at Qin Wentian, wanting nothing more than to tear him apart right now.

”Old Xia, Xia Yuan is a powerful character of the Devil Rankings. Since you felt that he was stronger than Qin Wentian, why donʼt you get him out to fight. This young man is too arrogant, let Xia Yuan wake him up and show him who is stronger.” At this moment, a devil king suddenly spoke. This man was a protector of the Fallen Devil King and was extremely strong.

At this moment, although his words sounded tactful, he no doubt had offended the Old Xia Devil King. But for the sake of the Fallen Devil Emperor, he couldnʼt care too much now. As a protector, he naturally knew of how strong the Vast Sky Devil King was. If they started a war because of this stupid issue, the probability of the Fallen Devil Emperor being defeated was extremely high. If thatʼs the case, it would mean a calamity for the entire Fallen Devil Region.

Qin Wentian and the Vast Sky Devil Emperor came in such a domineering manner, they didnʼt start a war right away but was trying to force the Old Xia Devil King to the death. Evidently, they also had no wish to shred all cordiality.

Hence, sacrificing the Old Xia Devil King would be the best way to bring things to a close.

The eyes of the Fallen Devil Emperor flashed with a slight unhappiness. However, he knew that his subordinate was thinking of the big picture, and he couldnʼt bring himself to reproach him.

”Old Xia, let Xia Yuan fight for the glory of our Fallen Devil Region.” Another devil king protector spoke. At this moment, other than the Fallen Devil Emperor, only these devil kings had the qualifications to speak.

”Let Xia Yuan come out then.” The Fallen Devil Emperor suddenly spoke, his words causing the gazes of everyone to turn heavy. As for the Old Xia Devil King, the sinking feeling in his heart grew heavier and heavier and he felt chills all over his body.

”And just as well, it has been many years since I last met with Brother Vast Sky, I wish to spar against him too to see if Iʼve improved.” The Fallen Devil Emperor continued, his words causing the Old Xia Devil King to glanced up, staring in astonishment at this old friend of his.

He knew that this was the best idea his old friend had, fighting for him. If the Fallen Devil Emperor could defeat the Vast Sky Devil Emperor, it wouldnʼt matter anymore if Xia Yuan won or lost. On the contrary, if the Fallen Devil Emperor was defeated, he, the Old Xia Devil King who had lived for countless years, would die here today for sure. No one would be able to save him.

”Sure.” The Vast Sky Devil Emperor calmly replied. Being able to spar against people on the same level was an extremely rare opportunity. Since he came to the Fallen Devil Region today, he might as well have a fight against the Fallen Devil Emperor. It was even better since the Fallen Devil Emperor himself initiated with this request.

”Xia Yuan.” Old Xia Devil King called out. A figure from below soared up into the air, this was none other than Xia Yuan of the devil rankings. He has also heard the conversation earlier, and a complex look couldnʼt help but to be on his face as he stared at Qin Wentian. This young man who gave him a huge rush of impact back then, has now brought a devil army to their doorstep, and was forcing his old ancestor to commit suicide.

Such a matter, who would have dared to imagine something like this would happen back then at the birthday celebration banquet of the Fallen Devil Emperor?

A devil-foundation expert was able to force a devil king to commit suicide? Also, this devil king was a very good friend of the Fallen Devil Emperor and the reason for the young man to do so was because of a slight injustice he suffered then?

”Vast Sky Devil Emperor, please.” The Fallen Devil Emperorʼs silhouette flashed, shooting up into the sky. For emperor-ranked battles, they had to fight high up in the air or the aftershocks of their attacks might destroy everything down below.

The Vast Sky Devil Emperor also soared upwards. In an instant, two divinity-like silhouettes appeared, cloaked in boundless devil light. Under the astral light cascading downwards from the nine heavenly layers, the two of them were like constellations, illuminated with light.

Everyone knew that the two of them was already extremely high up in the air, yet their silhouettes were still so clear.

At this instant, countless people on the Fallen Devil Island gazed up at the two emperors in the air as their hearts pounded madly.

One of those experts was actually the Fallen Devil Emperor. His Majesty was personally fighting, but who was his opponent?

The two devil emperors fought extremely intensely. The Fallen Devil Emperor blasted a palm strike now. Just a single attack seemed to have the power to collapse the heavens. That palm imprint was like a shadow covering the entire sky, as long as rivers of the devil path, engulfing everything.

”RUMBLE!” A powerful devil light erupted forth from the Vast Sky Devil Emperor. Under this powerful light, everything crumbled to dust. That gigantic palm covering the skies crumbled away bit by bit, unceasingly being destroyed.

Qin Wentian glanced at the sky before turning his gaze onto Xia Yuan. ”Itʼs about time for our battle to start.”

Xian Yuan walked out, he had an ashen expression. He completely had no confidence in being able to beat Qin Wentian. He has fought with Huang Shatian before and knew how terrifying that fellow was. Qin Wentian was someone who was able to fight equally against Huang Shatian!

The rumbling sounds echoed from the air. Even for those extremely far away, they could feel it clearly. The spectators below all trembled. Xia Yuan was trembling as well. His aura erupted forth but there was no confidence in his eyes.

”You must kill him before he uses the secret art, itʼs best that you go all out and launch a sneak attack with your devil weapon.” The Old Xia Devil King transmitted his voice to Xia Yuan. His countenance was extremely sinister, flickering with killing intent.

If Qin Wentian died, the Vast Sky Devil Emperor would no longer have anything to say.

Xia Yuan sped towards Qin Wentian, his devil might crackled wildly around him as a gigantic devil saber appeared, slashing down at Qin Wentian.

”Bzz!” Qin Wentian stretched his palm out and activated Godʼs Hand. His palm shone with startling resplendence and there were numerous ancient runes revolving around it.

At the instant the saber light landed, Qin Wentian blasted out, breaking through Xia Yuanʼs attack as his body appeared right before Xia Yuan.

”His cultivation level…” Xia Yuan turned pale. Godʼs Hand smashed down with impunity, flowing with divine might, capable of destroying everything. Xia Yuan basically couldnʼt react at all.

He howled in rage as devil light erupted around him, slashing out countless streams of destructive light. Thunderous sounds shook the area. Qin Wentian slammed out with another palm strike and with an explosive boom, Xia Yuan was directly sent flying. Blood could be seen at the corners of his lips. Xia Yuan couldnʼt even stand up to a single attack.

However, Qin Wentian didnʼt stop. He stacked another palm strike on his attack, causing Xia Yuan to scream in even more misery as his body was sent flying towards the horizons.

”Old Xia Devil King, is this the person you chose to rank before me?” Qin Wentian coldly spoke, staring at the Old Xia Devil King. Xia Yuan and him were on completely different levels. The Old Xia Devil King had a grim look on his face, as though he was just slapped by Qin Wentian. He inclined his head and stared at the sky, the terrifying emperor-ranked battle was still on-going.

The Vast Sky Devil Emperor borrowed strength from his constellation in the form of a divine axe and slaughtered all resistance. The entire sky was filled with axe shadows, all attacks by his opponent were ripped to shreds before they could get near him.

”Vast Sky Divine Axe.” The protector of the Fallen Devil Emperor down below had an unsightly expression on his face. They all stared at the Old Xia Devil King and spoke, ”Old Xia, just kill yourself.”

The countenance of the Old Xia Devil King turned extremely ugly to behold. He also could tell that his old friend, the Fallen Devil Emperor was now at a disadvantage, trapped within the frenzied attacks of the Vast Sky Devil Emperor.

He, the famed Xia Mo, was to commit suicide?

”BOOM!” The Old Xia Devil King suddenly burst into movement, speeding towards Qin Wentian. However almost at the exact same moment, beams of devil light enveloped Qin Wentianʼs protectively. The devil kings under the Vast Sky Devil Emperor acted, standing around Qin Wentian to guard him as they launched their attacks at the Old Xia Devil King, and also, at this very moment, the subordinates of the Fallen Devil Emperor also moved. However, the target of their attacks was actually the Old Xia Devil King!

”You guys…” The Old Xia Devil King roared in anger. The subordinates of the Vast Sky Devil Emperor attacked from the front while the subordinates of the Fallen Devil Emperor attacked from the back. He had no way to evade.

Under the joint-attack by so many devil kings, how could the Old Xia Devil King resist? The attacks all slammed into him, causing a thunderous boom as the Old Xia Devil King screamed in agony, coughing out fresh blood.

From afar, the spectators were all extremely shocked when they saw this scene. Even the protectors of the Fallen Devil Emperor acted against Old Xia. How could he still even hope to live?

Because of the slight injustice caused by him at the birthday celebration banquet, the Old Xia Devil King was actually going to die here. How ridiculous-sounding was this?!
