Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The day of the devil emperorʼs birthday celebration was finally here.

Today, of the four devil sects in the four directions, countless experts gathered there. Also, within the devil sects, an imposing majestic army with enough power to suppress everything on the island could be seen standing at attention here. Nobody would dare to try anything here today.

The Fallen Devil Emperor naturally was the strongest expert in this entire region. A command from him would make the lords of all the devil islands here do his bidding. His words were the law. And hence, the birthday celebration of the devil emperor every hundred years was naturally the grandest occasion in the Fallen Devil Region.

Today, the devil kings of tens of thousands of devil islands came by to offer their congratulations, bringing with them their subordinates, as well as the talented geniuses from the sects of their islands.

A countless number of peak geniuses from major powers could be seen in all four directions outside the four devil sects. Naturally, the people here to spectate was even more. After all, only a minority would have the qualifications to gain entry.

But even so, the people there were in extremely orderly lines, with no hints of chaos at all. With the powerful guards from the devil emperorʼs army everywhere, nobody dared to cause any trouble. There were even powerful devil senses sweeping the crowd frequently, who would dare to create chaos ehre?

Qin Wentian, Ye Zimo, Qi Da and a few other geniuses from the Ye Clan stood together. They were currently heading towards one of the devil sects and queueing up to gain entry.

”The clan lord and the elders have entered.” The young man beside Ye Zimo glanced at a group of experts in the air who entered the devil sect directly. The Ye Clan was a powerful aristocrat clan on the Fallen Devil Island and their clan lord naturally could bring some powerful expert devil kings to enter. They just need to state their identities and they would be able to gain entry. This was the same for the other major powers as well.

As for the many devil islands in this region, only the ruler and their subordinates who were at the devil-king level, would be able to qualify for entry.

Only people who were at the devil-foundation realm needed to take the entrance test as they were simply too many in number. They had to depend on their own talent and strength to enter.

Hence, Qin Wentian, Ye Zimo and the rest were queueing up here. This was just the first entrance, and there were many more checkpoints they had to clear as they ascended up the stairway.

Qin Wentian and Ye Zimo appeared finally arrived outside one of the four devil sects. The center of their brows flashed with light from the token and they entered directly with no obstruction. The speed of entry was very fast. After they entered, an usher could be seen directing them, they followed the instructions and headed into the depths of the devil sect, walking towards the core area where they could head up to the floating palace in the air.

Finally, they came to the bottom of the stairway that led up to the floating devil emperor palace.

”What a heavenly-grade craft.” Qin Wentian inclined his head staring at the structure as he spoke.

”The residence of the devil emperor is naturally incomparably majestic. Let us go up.” Ye Zimo stated as he stepped forth. Qin Wentian and Qi Da followed behind, ascending the stairway, bringing them up to the clouds.

After stepping up onto the stairway, guards could be seen here as well. Long lines of geniuses could be seen proceeding forward, as though all heading towards a pilgrimage.

Qin Wentian had also seen immortal palaces before, the misty immortal air here made the atmosphere seem like paradise on earth. However, the devil palace of the devil emperor only exuded magnificence and tyranny. One could feel how solemn the atmosphere of this place was. Nobody dared to create any trouble.

The floating palace was extremely vast, just like an entire fort by itself. The place where they were heading to now was none other than the battlefield in the floating palace. That place was the location of the celebration, as well as the location where he appointed his generals.

Finally, Qin Wentian and his group came to an incomparably vast floating platform. This place had spectator stands in the shape of a curve with as much as hundreds of thousands of seats available.

And right in the center, the most prestigious seat was located there. That is where the devil emperor would be sitting and below him would be the supreme experts of the major powers of this region, and below them, the other devil kings who ruled the devil islands.

After the devil kings, the seats were for those with the entry token, they would be arranged according to the grade of their tokens. The holders of the highest grade - that of darkness, would be seated virtually on the same level as the devil kings but the crowd also discovered that right below the devil emperorʼs seat, there were several other seats that were very close to his with his seat at the center.

The gazes of the geniuses here were all filled with yearning when they stared at those seats.

If they could sit there, they would be very close to the devil emperor. What glory was this?

Qin Wentian glanced at the countless figures heading over there via the guidance of the ushers. Despite the numbers, they didnʼt seem packed at all in this boundlessly vast location. This place was just too large, the place furthest from the devil emperor would require one to have the eyesight of a powerful cultivator. Ordinary people basically didnʼt have good enough sight to see it.

”The devil kings are already seated.” Qin Wentian saw the Blackstone Devil King in his seat, the devil king was currently chatting with the other devil kings next to him.

Other than Qin Wentian, Yan Yuruo and Yan Yuxin were there as well. When they spotted the Blackstone Devil King, Yan Yuruo smiled lightly, ”Sadly father isnʼt able to bring me with him or I would be able to view the devil emperor from close up.”

”Forget it, just honestly stay at your sector. I will accompany you, your brother-in-law and his friends all have outstanding talent and can sit closer to the devil emperor. However, before them there were still the violet-gold and darkness-graded tokens. But in any case, the people with such high graded tokens wouldnʼt be many, only a few are qualified to obtain them.” Yan Yuxin spoke in a light tone of voice.

The devilish female didnʼt really bother about how Yan Yuxin was boasting about Azureflame Tuo and his buddies. Her beautiful eyes turned about, staring at everything in the area. When she glanced at a certain direction, she suddenly froze. A moment later, she called out excitedly, ”Qin Wentian, Iʼm here!”

Yan Yuxinʼs eyes flashed, she turned her head and also spotted Qin Wentianʼs silhouette. Qin Wentian actually came in from the same direction as her group. She couldnʼt help but to frown and remarked to her little sister, ”You are still thinking of him? So what even if he came? Thereʼs a distance between him and us. Anyway Yuruo, thereʼs countless geniuses in this place. You can just randomly pick anyone out and they would all be more outstanding compared to him.

”Just you wait and see.” The devilish third princess coldly smiled. Her charming eyes stared at Qin Wentian as though she was saying, ʼYou this fellow actually truly dared to leave me behind.ʼ

Qin Wentian saw that trademark smile on the devilish femaleʼs face. He couldnʼt help but to smile bitterly as he shook his head. He then walked forward, moving towards them. Ye Zimo and his clansmen followed together as well. They couldnʼt help but to be curious with regards to who this beauty Qin Wentian was walking towards, was.

”Third princess.” Qin Wentian called out as he came before the devilish female. This caused Ye Zimo and the others to stiffen, third princess?

”Hmph, you still recognize this princess? Where did you go to after disappearing for so many days?” The devilish girl cast a look of adoration at Qin Wentian while stretching her hand to pinch his waist, in an extremely affectionate manner.

”Yuruo,” Yan Yuxin who was by the side could no longer watch on. She coldly spoke, ”Yuruo, take note of your identity, stop mixing together with a slave.”

”Elder sis, enough.” The devilish female snapped, ”Are you trying to intentionally drive him away again?”

”Yan Yuxin.” Qin Wentian turned his gaze to her, his eyes flashing with coldness. ”Although Iʼm a devil general under the Blackstone Devil King and I address Yuruo as the third princess, since you have already married out of your clan, I have no relationship with you at all. You best pay attention to your words.”

”Are you threatening me?” Yan Yuxinʼs eyes gleamed with sharpness. ”A mere slave also dares to act so impudently before me?”

Behind Yan Yuxin, Azureflame Tuoʼs gaze turned to Qin Wentian, ”Iʼm giving face to Yuruo, hence I wonʼt do anything to you. You better be more polite.”

”Brother Qin, who are these people? Their words sound so brazen.” Ye Zimo walked out and cast a cold glance at these people.

”You even got acquainted with a helper?” The people beside Azureflame Tuo laughed mockingly.

”The people of the Azureflame Clan. As for the others, I donʼt know them.” Qin Wentian replied.

”Azureflame Clan?” Ye Zimo started before he began smiling wryly. Upon seeing this scene, Azureflame Tuoʼs arrogance grew even more pronounced while Yan Yuxin grew even more pompous. ”Yuruo, see? This is the influence of a powerful clan like ours.”

”This trashy clan of yours dares to act so arrogantly? Do your heads grow on your backsides?” Ye Zimo suddenly spoke. Did these people think he couldnʼt afford to offend them because he was smiling wryly earlier?

This, was truly interesting.

”You…” Yan Yuxinʼs countenance turned cold. She glanced at Azureflame Tuo only to see his expression growing cold as well. He icily spoke, ”Trashy clan? I really want to ask where did you come from. If you are unable to give a satisfactory answer, Iʼm afraid you wouldnʼt be able to afford the price.”

”Even people of the Azureflame Clan dares to threaten me?” Ye Zimo glanced at the descendants of the Ye Clan behind him, as all of them began to laugh.

”Zimo, seems like your fame is too weak. No one knows of you.” Someone laughed.

”Naturally, we cannot assume that these people from trashy clans would have wide horizons and heard of you before. In any case, if news of you, Ye Zimo of the Ye Clan being threatened by the Azureflame Clan was to spread, it would be quite funny as well.”

”You are Ye Zimo?” Azureflame Tuoʼs countenance changed. Ye Zimo of the Devil Rankings, Ye Zimo of the Ye Clan.

The expressions of those beside him also changed. They then glanced over at Ye Zimo as they clasped their hands, ”So itʼs Brother Ye.”

”Brother Ye? Do I even know you all? Where the hell did you scrubs come from?” Ye Zimo coldly swept his gaze at them as his eyes instantly turned sharp. All of them froze and trembled, ”We are merely passing by here, and are not familiar with the Azureflame Clan. We will take our leave now.”

As they spoke, they instantly turned and departed.

Azureflame Tuoʼs expression stiffened, he only felt burning shame on his face. Qin Wentian actually got acquainted with Ye Zimo.

”Brother Qin, how do you want to deal with them?” Ye Zimo asked Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian cast a mocking gaze towards Azureflame Tuo and Yan Yuxin. He shook his head and turned to Yan Yuruo, ”Third princess, I will go over first.”

”I will come with you.” Just as she finished her sentence, she suddenly remembered that the entry tokens were separated into grades. She then gave an awkward laugh, ”Seems like I can only watch you from afar.”

”I will look for you later.” Qin Wentian walked forward. Azureflame Tuo stepped aside. Ye Zimo glanced at Yan Yuxin and spoke mockingly, ”The dragon of darkness soaring up in the skies naturally wouldnʼt bother to lower itself to the level of the crawling ants on the ground. I met many girls like you before, feeling arrogant simply because you married into a better clan than your own, using their prestige to show off. You are nothing but a lowly slut, yet you think of yourself as a lofty existence. How utterly ridiculous.”
