Chapter 1246: The Ten Great Saint Weapons Rankings

Martial Emperor Shi Qi’s mind went completely blank.

His mind kept replaying the scene from earlier. Even after he used his full strength and his Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Spear against the white-clad little girl who looked no older than ten years old, he was still defeated.

At this moment, he realized this white-clad little girl was not only a Demon Emperor, but she was also a Demon Emperor who was more powerful than him.

Moreover, this Demon Emperor was here for the sake of the purple-clad young man.

“Didn’t you hear my Older Sister Xue Nai’s questions?” When the childish voice that was filled with iciness entered Martial Emperor Shi Qi’s ears, he regained his senses and was hit by a pang of realization.

Naturally, he was no stranger to this voice. It was the voice of the white-clad little girl who had defeated him.

He immediately looked at the yellow-clad teenage girl standing nearby with a horrified expression. Only fear could be seen in his eyes now.

What a joke!

This white-clad little girl was already far more powerful than him.

He strongly suspected the yellow-clad teenage girl whom she addressed as ‘Older Sister’ might be even more powerful than her.

“P-Please say it again,” Martial Emperor said to Han Xue Nai fearfully. From his tone, compared to his previous aggressive and overbearing manner, he seemed to have transformed into another person.

Naturally, this was because he did not know the white-clad little girl’s strength earlier. Otherwise, he would not have acted that way.

The strong ones ruled on Cloud Continent.

Even if he was a Martial Emperor who was usually high and mighty in front of ordinary martial artists, he would still have to be humble when he encountered someone more powerful than him.

The difficulty that a Martial Emperor went through was far from being comparable to an ordinary martial artist.

Due to this reason, they would be willing to do all kinds of crazy things in order to survive, let alone admitting defeat.

Han Xue Nai glanced at Martial Emperor Shi Qi coldly and repeated her words again in annoyance.

Upon hearing it, Martial Emperor did not dare to slack and quickly replied.

He began to recount what had happened the day he met Duan Ling Tian, how Duan Ling Tian had obtained strength that was comparable to his through the mysterious stone tablet and even how they fought each other.

He did not dare to hide anything as he recounted the incident.

He recounted everything in detail, including how Duan Ling Tian lost his sanity and left while Feng Tian Wu was brought away by someone else. How Zhou Yi, his direct disciple, had deceived him before he took that stone tablet away with him.

Right now, he no longer cared about his prestige and image. Nothing was more important than his life.

He did not dare to lie. It was too risky.

If these two young misses were not happy with his story, they might just kill him in a bad mood. At that time, what was gained would not be able to make up for what was lost.

“Stone tablet? It made Big Brother Ling Tian lost his sanity?” Frowning, Han Xue Nai looked at Martial Emperor Shi Qi and said, “Describe that stone tablet to me now.”

Han Xue Nai had her own suspicion regarding the mysterious stone that could make its user lose his sanity and possess horrifying strength, but she was not entirely certain about it.

“If it’s really the Devilseal Tablet… Then I’m afraid Brother Ling Tian is in a bad situation.” While interrogating Martial Emperor Shi Qi, Han Xue Nai’s heart jolted, and it was filled with worries.

In the face of Han Xue Nai’s query, Martial Emperor Shi Qi did not dare to slack. He quickly described every characteristic of that stone tablet that he knew. “It’s weird actually… That stone tablet lacks a corner.”

“It really is the Devilseal Tablet!” The moment Martial Emperor Shi Qi finished his words, Han Xue Nai’s face turned a little glum. “How can this be so coincidental? The Devilseal Tablet is coincidentally in Brother Ling Tian’s hand?”

Han Xue Nai could still remember that time when she first came to Cloud Continent with Qing Nu. Apart from coming here to relax and travel, Qing Nu was actually here on her father’s order to search for the Devilseal Tablet.

It was because her father had received news that the Devilseal Tablet was on Cloud Continent, the Mortal Continent.

At first, she thought she was merely a passing traveler on Cloud Continent, but who would have ever thought that she would meet her Brother Ling Tian and three other little guys who were extraordinarily talented. Due to this reason, she had formed an indissoluble bond here on Cloud Continent.

“That time, Qing Nu spent a few years searching every corner of Cloud Continent, but she still wasn’t able to find the Devilseal Tablet… I can’t believe it’s actually in Brother Ling Tian’s hand.” At this moment, Han Xue Nai’s feeling was very complicated. At the same time, she was worried about Duan Ling Tian too.

She knew very well just how horrifying that Devilseal Tablet was.

“D-Did you say my Brother Ling Tian left after leaving that stone tablet behind?” Han Xue Nai asked again.

“Yes.” Martial Emperor Shi Qi did not dare to slack as he quickly nodded his head in reply. “Not only did he not retrieve the stone tablet, but he didn’t even bring his woman along with him.”

“How can you prove that all you said is true?” Han Xue Nai subconsciously narrowed her eyes as she stared at Martial Emperor Shi Qi. Her eyes were gleaming coldly.

When Martial Emperor Shi Qi saw the coldness in Han Xue Nai’s eyes, his heart turned cold. He hastily took an oath and swore by the Tribulation Oath — the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. “I, Martial Emperor Shi Qi, swear by the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation… If what I said earlier contains even a tiny bit of lie, I’m willing to be struck to death by lightning!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

…

In just a blink of an eye, nine thunderous sounds resonated in the air, corresponding to Martial Emperor Shi Qi’s oath.

Taking an oath using the Tribulation Oath, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, even a Martial Emperor would not be able to defy it. Otherwise, he would also be struck by lightning to death.

Since Martial Emperor Shi Qi dared to make such an oath, it meant he did not lie earlier.

Duan Ling Tian did indeed leave behind the Devilseal Tablet, and that tablet was stolen by Zhou Yi, his direct disciple, by means of deceit.

Feng Tian Wu, on the other hand, was brought away by a powerhouse named Chi Huo.

After making his oath, Martial Emperor Shi Qi sighed in relief. Thank goodness he had the ability to read the situation and did not lie. Otherwise, he would not have survived.

“You better pray that nothing happens to my Brother Ling Tian… Otherwise, I’ll completely annihilate your Lost Stone Forest!” After casting a cold glance at Martial Emperor Shi Qi, Han Xue Nai’s body moved and disappeared from Martial Emperor Shi Qi’s eyes at an extremely swift speed.

From the beginning until the end, Martial Emperor Shi Qi did not even see Han Xue Nai’s figure clearly at all.

“As expected, her strength is indeed stronger than the white-clad little girl.” Martial Emperor Shi Qi discreetly wiped his cold sweat away. At the same time, he anxiously looked at the white-clad little girl standing nearby anxiously. He was afraid this young miss would not let the matter go.

“Hurmph!” Little White snorted coldly before she followed Han Xue Nai and left. Only then did Martial Emperor Shi Qi heaved a sigh of relief as though a burden had been lifted off him.

Soon after, Little White caught up to Han Xue Nai who had decreased her speed before asking, “Sister Xue Nai, since he wanted to kill Brother previously, why didn’t you kill him earlier?”

“Don’t you think it’ll be better to leave him alive and let Brother Ling Tian avenge himself?” Han Xue Nai asked.

A pang of realization hit Little White instantly. Then, it seemed like she had recalled something and she asked worriedly, “B-But… What if… Brother is…”

Little White did not continue, but the meaning was obvious.

“If something really happened to Brother Ling Tian, I’ll annihilate his entire Lost Stone Forest! No matter where he, Martial Emperor Shi Qi, hides, I’ll search for him and kill him.” Little White’s words were like a blasting fuse that fully ignited Han Xue Nai this powder cask.

“I’m sure Brother will be alright,” Little White muttered.

“I hope so too.” Han Xue Nai nodded, but her eyes were filled with worries.

According to Martial Emperor Shi Qi’s description, she could roughly guess what her Brother Ling Tian had gone through. “Brother Ling Tian had forcefully drawn the Soul Remnant Energy from the Devilseal Tablet into his body and devilified in one fell swoop. From there, he managed to possess extraordinary strength. However, after he was devilified, he lost his sanity… Right now, all I hope is that was his first time using the Devilseal Tablet. Otherwise, things will really be troublesome.” Han Xue Nai was most worried about this.

When a person used the Devilseal Tablet for the first time, it would have some side effects but not to the extent where it would threaten his life.

However, if one kept using it, the side effects would consume his life. Although the person’s physical body was still alive, it would only be an empty shell at most.

An empty shell that was controlled by the Soul Remnant Energy from the Devilseal Tablet.

“Sister Xue Nai, I heard you mentioned the Devilseal Tablet or something earlier… Could the mysterious stone tablet that Martial Emperor Shi Qi mentioned be the Devilseal Tablet you mentioned?” Soon after, Little White recalled Han Xue Nai’s words. Although she did not speak loudly, she was still heard by Little White.

“That’s right. It’s the Devilseal Tablet.” Han Xue Nai nodded.

Little White learned about many things after listening to Martial Emperor Shi Qi’s story. Curious, she asked, “What exactly is that Devilseal Tablet? How could it allow Brother to possess such a strong energy in such a short time? Not only that, the side effects seem to be quite severe too.”

“The Devilseal Tablet is one of the Ten Great Saint Weapons according to the Dao Martial Saint Land’s Ten Great Saint Weapons Rankings,” Han Xue Nai explained.

“What?!” Upon hearing this, Little White was shocked. “It’s said that the weapons on the Dao Martial Saint Land’s Ten Great Saint Weapons Rankings are all Super Saint Weapons! They are extremely rare and precious treasures. If an ordinary person obtains it, it’ll be enough for him to roam the Dao Martial Saint Land with ease.”

“However, that’s only when they are deified. Even if the Saint Weapon is very powerful, it won’t be able to fully display its power if the person controlling it is weak. However, apart from the Devilseal Tablet, the boost in offensive power that the other Super Saint Weapons in the Ten Great Saint Weapon Rankings grants to martial artists is far greater than ordinary Saint Weapons,” Han Xue Nai continued.

“Why apart from the Devilseal Tablet? Isn’t the Devilseal Tablet a Super Saint Weapon as well?” Little White asked curiously.

“The Devilseal Tablet became a Super Saint Weapon and is listed in the Ten Great Saint Weapon Rankings, not because of the offensive power boost that it grants a martial artist… Actually, the offensive power boost that it grants is far less compared to many other ordinary Saint Weapons. The reason it became a Super Saint Weapon and is listed in the Ten Great Saint Weapon Rankings is due to its surprising ability — it can suppress Devil Cultivators!” Han Xue Nai continued to explain. When she reached the end of her sentence, a hint of respect could be seen in her eyes.
