Title: Inheritances? Supreme Devil Halls?
...
After entering the gate, Shun appeared in another space. He looked at his surroundings, and there was no longer that intense pressure from before.
He finally relaxed and drew in a deep breath, feeling exceptionally comfortable.
That path leading to here was simply too dangerous and tiring to the max.
In this extremely vast space, the air felt very fresh and clear, like it was paradise on the earth. A direct contrast from the eerie air in the entire Myriad Islands.
It didn't seemed like a place for devil exoerts at all.
"Is this the place where the Myriad God Sovereign resides in?" Shun mused.
His silhouette flickered as he sped ahead. Amidst the numerous devil halls here, all of them exuded an ancient air.
Shun slowed his steps and finally entered a devil hall. There was no one in that place, but several scrolls could be seen within the hall, like a treasure trove of information.
He walked to the scrolls and sent his divine sense into them, learning the information.
Many of them were arts and techniques of the devil path, and there were also recordings of events which happened many many years ago, as well as the insights of a devil expert.
However, these jade slips didn't seem to belong to the Myriad God Sovereign.
In this vast space, the ancient halls were all simple and unadorned. Clearly, in the past, it wasn't just the Myriad God Sovereign who had lived here.
After glancing around for a long time, he left this hall and headed in another direction.
Very soon, he discovered a special characteristic of this place. He could view everything he wanted to here, but he could take nothing away.
This place seemed to be enveloped by a mystical source of law energy.
Even if supreme treasures were lying everywhere on the ground, he wouldn't be able to take them away.
And for the second discovery, Shun felt even more shock in his heart.
There wasn't simply devil path techniques and arts here, there were also techniques and arts from the chakra part, Shinjutsus.
There were a variety of a mixture in different devil halls, one could almost find anything here.
"This place is truly a treasure trove." Shun mused. After passing through the tattered Saint Devil Hall to come to this place, most probably, this place is the true sacred ground, and it's even more qualified to say that this place was the true Celestial Mountain.
This treasure trove, if one didn't have a hundred years of time, it would be impossible to fully digest the information here, let alone practice the techniques and arts.
Shun basically didn't have that much time. In addition, the energy he was using was already extremely powerful, and he even had secret ultimate arts.
Ordinary techniques and arts wouldn't cause him to be interested.
He continued on his way, entering many of the halls. All of a sudden, his expression changed and he suddenly flew extremely high up into the air.
When he lowered his head glancing below, his eyes gleamed with sharpness.
So it turned out that this place, was actually an extremely vast ancient city.
Every ancient hall and palace here might be a residence for supreme experts in the past.
With a flash, Shun continued exploring this city. There were simply too many halls and palaces, virtually countless in number.
He could only do his best to get to the core of this place as soon as possible.
This journey lasted a very long time. He finally saw nine majestic, towering devil halls before him.
"Nine?" Shun's eye flashed. There were actually nine halls here? Shouldn't there be seven?
At the peak of the Celestial Mountain, including the Saint Devil Hall, there was a total of seven supreme devil halls.
Yet here in this space, there were actually two more devil halls in comparison.
What made Shun feel even more shock is that the arrangement and structure of this place, was incredibly similar to the peak of the Celestial Mountain.
"Could it be that the peak of the mountain has always been lacking two other devil halls?"
Shun suddenly had a bold conjecture. It was said that other than the Saint Devil Hall, only the Judiciary, Darkness and Apostle Devil Hall existed at the beginning.
The other three devil halls were established later. For the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall, its history was very clear. A cultivator established it after he entered the Saint Devil Hall.
If that's the case, Shun was guessing that since there were two more devil halls here in this space, could it be that they still haven't found a suitable inheritor?
Was this the reason why these two supreme devil halls didn't exist on the outside yet?
Shun's figure flashed, speeding towards one of the devil halls.
This devil hall had an awe-inspiring aura, containing boundless devil force, terrifying to the extreme.
If Shun didn't guess wrongly, this devil hall should be the one corresponding to the Sky Devil Hall on the outside.
He quickly appeared above this devil hall.
His body quickly descended and at this instant, his countenance suddenly changed as a burst of fearsome energy suddenly appeared.
Boundless energy of the sky devil enveloped this hall completely, as streams of it blast into Shun, directly flinging him through the air.
Shun groaned and coughed out a mouthful of blood, staring at the incomparably vast energy below him with trepidation.
His body slowly retreated by flying upwards, as though he was worried that that terrifying attack would appear once again.
But very swiftly as he flew higher up, the fluctuations of energy gradually turned weak, like it wouldn't erupt forth again.
This devil hall was actually protected by such a strong energy, it was different from those devil halls he entered earlier.
Shun's eyes flickered, searching for the source of this energy. As his eyes moved about, he finally noticed the source - there was an incomparable sky devil saber at the front of the devil hall.
This devil saber was like a world-shocking divine weapon, containing boundless devil energy, and every wisp of energy it erupted forth would contain an immense power of destruction.
From his speculation, If all the energy within it exploded, it was sufficient to destroy an entire island, a planet even. It had power akin to divine might.
"Devil divine weapon." Shun's eyes flashed, staring over there. He noticed that before each of the other supreme eight halls, there was a weapon right at the front of them as well.
As for that majestic blood-colored devil hall, it should be the Judiciary Hall.
There was a royal scepter at the front of the hall, like a symbol of judgement authority. Whoever has the scepter in hand would be able to become the judgement king.
Before a dragon-shaped devil hall which exuded a tyrannical Demonic energy, there was a dragon whip projecting fearsome shadows of darkness dragons.
That should be the Imperial Dragon Devil Hall, and with the whip in hand, one could control all demonic dragons.
There was also another devil hall like that of a phantom, residing in absolute darkness.
Shun was guessing that that hall correspond with the Darkness Devil Hall.
Outside this hall, a gigantic darkness tray akin to a huge bowl could be seen.
The depths within was unfathomable, containing only pure darkness with no end, like a true black hole.
This seemed like the ultimate technique the child of darkness used against Shun back then, the all-devouring darkness, wanting to cause the space around it to be engulfed completely as well.
Each of the nine supreme devil halls had their own representations. Shun stared at each one, feeling immense shock in his heart.
He was thinking how he should break through the protective energy of each of the halls and enter them?
Does it mean that if he could enter any of the supreme devil halls here, he would obtain their inheritance?
The foundation of the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall back then, could he also come to this place and enter the supreme devil hall here which corresponded to the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall and establish it on the outside?
Shun's gaze surveyed the surroundings. Things were like what he had guessed.
This place contains the nine great inheritances left behind by the Myriad God Sovereign, and each hall here corresponded to a supreme devil hall on the outside.
In that case, most probably there were two more devil halls which haven't encountered their proper successors yet, but which were the two?
Very swiftly, Shun realized which.
One of the devil halls gave off an overbearing, sharp and tyrannical feeling, exuding an intention to destroy heaven and earth.
Before this devil hall, there wasn't simply a divine weapon, but there were many different types. Each of the weapons were incomparably sharp, exuding a thick devil energy.
Shun had no way to guess what sort of inheritance power this devil hall contained.
There was also the other devil hall which gave Shun the feeling of boundless destruction.
The divine weapon at the front of this hall was a destructive-type ancient halberd, exuding incomparably terrifying might.
"What should I do to enter these supreme devil halls? If I can enter all nine halls, does that mean that I will gain the nine inheritances here, unifying them all on me?" Shun mused.
However, right now there were only seven supreme devil halls on the outside.
Even if he managed to gain the Darkness and Sky Devil Hall's inheritances, the other party might not be able to tolerate his existence as now, the two halls already had their masters.
But at the very least, Shun would be able to gain the might of those devil halls.
"I've already come all the way to here. No matter what, I have to attempt it." A determined light flashed in Shun's eyes.
He needed to be more ruthless to himself, or he would have wasted this trip here.
To him, it would be a failure if he couldn't enter any of the nine supreme halls.
Even if this place is the true sacred ground of the Celestial Mountain and contained countless arts and techniques, all of those wouldn't be able to satisfy him, unless they are from the nine supreme devil halls.
He descended again, and walked towards the gigantic sky devil saber which corresponded with the Sky Devil Hall.
At this instant, an intense light gleamed from the devil saber, covering everything here.
In just an instant, countless clouds formed and the sky changed color. This place suddenly dimmed, filled with destructive darkness as though a devil god was about to come into the world.
Shun's heart trembled in shock. He lifted his head and stared at the storm of destructive darkness, while his heart pounded rapidly.
After that, a terrifying strand of will from the sky devil gushed directly into his mind and Shun instantly coughed out a mouthful of blood as he was flung through the air, with a countenance as pale as paper.
"How terrifying." Shun mused. Following which, more and more will attacks rammed right into his mind while the storm of destruction enveloped him.
Right now, Shun truly felt he was at the center of an apocalypse. The sky devil saber, wanted to penetrate his head.
"STOP!" Shun was extremely decisive, choosing to instantly retreat.
After that, he coughed out even more blood as he fell onto the ground, half-kneeling.
Only then did that absolute might of the storm of destruction slowly dissipate away!
