Ancient Godly Monarch
chapter-1281

Qin Wentian stood tall, there was spirit in his eyes, it flashed with sharpness as he stared at the maid.

He came here to meet the devil emperor. If even a maid dared to threaten him, what qualifications did he have to meet with the devil emperor?

"How dare you." That maid stood up, glaring at Qin Wentian, both her eyes were like swords. She was Fang Xueqing's personal maid and everyone had to treat her with respect. There never has been anyone who dared to treat her this way.

Qin Wentian coldly swept his glance at her. Just a single glance caused her to instantly fall into hell. She only felt a pair of terrifying eyes pulling her into a hell-like world. Her body trembled and her expression turned unsightly. Being by the side of the princess for so many years, she had never met someone so powerful before.

"You said that I'm not a match for you? If we don't try, how would we know? Are you really that confident?" Fang Xueqing wasn't enraged. She quietly stared at Qin Wentian, her voice calm.

"There's no need to try. On the Vast Sky Devil Island, within the devil-foundation realm, nobody is my match." Qin Wentian calmly replied. However, despite the calmness of his voice, an arrogance could be heard within. One could even say that he was extremely brazen.

No one on this island within the devil-foundation realm was his match?

How arrogant was this? Fang Xueqing's beautiful eyes were like sharp swords. She stared at Qin Wentian, "I want to try fighting you even more."

As she spoke, her aura erupted. At this instant, an overwhelming coldness and heavy might manifested in the atmosphere. Fang Xueqing loved to fight, and her subordinates were all powerful characters on the Vast Sky Devil Island. Usually, she would only choose the strongest individual or if not, she would not only have told Qin Wentian alone to remain behind today.

"RUMBLE!" A fearsome aura gushed forth from Qin Wentian, radiating an immense pressure. With a lift of his hand, divine might covered his hand as he blasted it out at Fang Xueqing, crushing everything. Fang Xueqing's countenance changed. As the palm strike descended, she couldn't shake off the feeling that the palm resembled the hand of a god, there was simply no way for her to resist.

"BANG!" A raging wind gusted by, Fang Xueqing's long hair fluttered in the wind. That palm strike stopped an inch before her forehead. Her eyes were already closed, the experts in the surroundings all unleashed their auras as they enveloped Qin Wentian. If that palm strike landed, their princess would have already been dead.

The raging wind dispersed, Fang Xueqing finally opened her eyes. She stared at the calm-looking Qin Wentian as a bright light flashed in her eyes.

"What request do you want since you came all the way here to my princess residence?" Fang Xuejia asked. Such a character naturally wouldn't have their sights on a mere guard position, they would surely be more ambitious.

"Princess is wise, I have a request I would like to ask." Qin Wentian spoke.

"Speak." Fang Xueqing's gaze flickered.

"I wish for an audience with his Majesty, would Princess please do me the honors and recommend me?" Qin Wentian asked.

"For what matter?" Fang Xueqing's eyes gleamed with a dazzling light. This man actually wished to meet with her father, what an ambitious man.

Qin Wentian glanced at Fang Xueqing, before this he was already observing her. She doesn't seem to be the wilful princess as spoken of in the rumors. Qin Wentian could feel that this woman wasn't simple, hence he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point with her.

"I can give you a chance to upgrade your strength." Qin Wentian spoke. Fang Xueqing's eyes flashed with cold arrogance as she continued speaking, "Explain clearly."

"When princess brings me to meet with the devil emperor, I will make everything clear to you then. For now, watch this." Qin Wentian instantly released his immortal-foundation, masked by a devil aura, making it resemble a devil-foundation. This devil-foundation revolved about, exhibiting no flaws at all.

"Perfect saint-grade devil-foundation!" Fang Xueqing started in shock.

Qin Wentian nodded, "That's right, I had a bout of good fortune once, allowing myself to establish a perfect devil-foundation. If princess is willing to let me meet with the devil emperor, I will tell you everything."

"Fine." Fang Xueqing didn't waste any time, directly nodding. Her personality was extremely straightforward.

So what even if Qin Wentian met with her royal father? Before her father, Qin Wentian's current cultivation base was simply too low, his words wouldn't have any weight at all. But there was no loss to her from her perspective.

If Qin Wentian lied to her… Most probably given how strong he was, he wouldn't be that foolish.

"Come with me." Fang Xueqing spoke. After which, she turned about and soared through the air. Her maid coldly glanced at Qin Wentian and followed after.

Qin Wentian merely smiled. A mere maid also dared to have such a big temper?

With a leap, he followed behind them. There were devil kings guarding all around the area. If Qin Wentian made any dangerous actions, he would die instantly.

The princess manor, where Fang Xueqing stayed in, was in a separate location. Her personality was aloof and she didn't choose to stay directly in the Vast Sky Devil Palace.

The Vast Sky Devil Palace naturally was extremely vast and majestic. There were countless guards just at the entrance, and many devil kings could be seen as well.

However since Fang Xueqing was leading the way, the path ahead was extremely smooth. If Qin Wentian came alone saying he wanted to meet with the devil emperor, most probably he would be slain by the guards even before he reached the outermost perimeter.

After some time, Fang Xueqing brought Qin Wentian to a residence.

"Princess." Several experts came by, bowing to Fang Xueqing.

"Is father in?" Fang Xueqing asked.

"Yes." Someone replied.

"I wish to meet with him." Fang Xueqing's voice was calm. At this moment, a voice echoed out, "Xueqing, is the little fellow beside you a guard you newly recruited? Why have I never met him before?"

"Father, I've something to talk to you about." Fang Xueqing spoke.

"Come on in then." The voice of the devil emperor rang out.

"Wait for me outside." Feng Xueqing spoke to the guards behind her. After that, she glanced at Qin Wentian, "As for you, you can follow me in."

After that, she only brought Qin Wentian with her as she advanced into a courtyard. Over there, a middle-aged man was sitting at a pavilion, smiling at her. "Xueqing, you have never brought anyone here before. Seems like the relationship between you two isn't bad."

"Father, you are mistaken. This man is here to see you." Fang Xueqing spoke. The eyes of the devil emperor flashed as he stared at Qin Wentian. "See me?"

Qin Wentian surveyed the Vast Sky Devil Emperor. This hegemon-level character actually had no aura whatsoever, it was like he was completely one with the world. But then again, meeting with his daughter in his own home, he naturally wouldn't unleash his tyrannical aura.

"Junior Qin Wentian pays my respects to senior devil emperor." Qin Wentian bowed and greeted.

The devil emperor glanced at Qin Wentian, his eyes flashing with curiosity. A junior with such a weak cultivation base wanted to see him yet when they met, this young man wasn't nervous at all? This made him a little puzzled.

"What is the matter you wanted to see me about?" The devil emperor asked.

"Junior came from the immortal realms." Qin Wentian radiated immortal energy. This time around, he revealed a perfect immortal-foundation, instead of using that art to mask it. Fang Xueqing's eyes flashed, staring at Qin Wentian. This fellow actually lied to her.

"A perfect immortal-foundation." The eyes of the devil emperor gleamed with interest. He didn't say anything and waited for Qin Wentian to continue speaking.

"When junior was still at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, I had a bout of good fortune, allowing me to establish a perfect immortal-foundation as I ascended to immortality. My body is flawless, baptized to perfection." Qin Wentian spoke. "This miraculous encounter, I think your Majesty is interested in it too, right?"

"What good fortune is that?" The voice of the Vast Sky Devil Emperor was very calm. Truly, he was more than a little curious. Being able to allow someone to establish a perfect foundation, what miraculous encounter was that?"

"Sacred >uminance." Qin Wentian spoke. His words caused the eyes of the devil emperor to gleam brightly.

The legendary light of the gods, Sacred Luminance!

In the legends, the Sacred Luminance possessed divine might and was a mysterious source of energy that could baptize bodies, allowing one to undergo a transformation, perfecting one's physique.

In addition, Sacred Luminance cared not about one's cultivation realm. It had unfathomable strength and was exceedingly rare.

The Vast Sky Devil Emperor was an emperor-level expert, yet he had never seen Sacred Luminance before.

Did Qin Wentian endure the effect of the Sacred Luminance, and after his transformation, he managed to establish a perfect immortal-foundation?

Qin Wentian's words were slightly exaggerated. He being able to establish a saint-grade immortal-foundation wasn't just due to the effect of the Sacred Luminance. However, the Vast Sky Devil Emperor didn't know about this. Also, he couldn't allow the devil emperor to know that he has a source of Sacred Luminance with him. Or else, his only path would be death.

"Sacred Luminance can be found in the immortal realms?" The devil emperor asked.

"There's a secret realm in the immortal realms where only I can open a passage to it. I can bring your majesty and princess there to immerse yourselves in Sacred Luminance. Also, if your majesty has other descendants, they can come along as well." Qin Wentian spoke.

"What do you want?" The devil emperor asked.

"I need your majesty to protect me for ten years." Qin Wentian replied.

The expression of the devil emperor instantly turned cold as a terrifying might bore down on Qin Wentian. "You are truly audacious."

"Truth to be told, I came to the Myriad Devil Islands because there's a battle. The limit for this battle is ten years. If I return earlier, I will die without a doubt. I still need to wait about nine years plus more." Qin Wentian explained. The Vast Sky Devil Emperor merely quietly glanced at him, the pressure he emitted was still as heavy as before.

"Senior devil emperor, I know you have some mind-scouring methods where you can get the information out from me directly. However, I swear this. Only I can enter that place, and in addition, if your Majesty chooses to do so, I will instantly commit suicide." Qin Wentian decisively spoke. "The importance of this battle to me is far more critical than my life. If not, I wouldn't have taken the risk to ask for an audience with your Majesty,"

"I don't have the time to guard you for ten years." The devil emperor coldly spoke. This fellow truly dared to make such an outrageous demand.

"In that case, can I request your Majesty to attack the Fallen Devil Island and assist me in searching for some people. Once the tenth year mark is reached, I will naturally fulfil my promise and bring senior to the immortal realms to locate the Sacred Luminance. If senior doesn't believe me, you can get experts to monitor my every movements for these ten years." Qin Wentian bowed.

"What a crafty fellow." The devil emperor laughed coldly. "Monitor your movements? You mean to protect you, right?"

Also, the earlier request for protection for a duration of ten years was most probably to pave the way for him to make a request to attack the Fallen Devil Island.

"You want me to fight against another devil emperor?" The Vast Sky Devil Emperor laughed.

"I've already checked before that senior devil emperor is stronger compared to the Fallen Devil Emperor. If senior refuses, I can only request that senior would be my backing. When the time comes, as long as I accomplish some things on the Fallen Devil Island, the Fallen Devil Emperor wouldn't dare to start a war either." Qin Wentian spoke, revealing his true objectives.
